He has none of the fireworks of Billy Sunday and McLendon but he is more on the order of bam Jones Without the biting sarcasm of jon he preaches very much the same kind of doctrine. He rings clear anl true in condemnation of the popular sins of the day. He has no law for the new issues, but like St. Paul, Breaches the New Birth-wnan must b born again. Dr." Miller has conducted Evangel istic meetings throughout the country. He is a most attractive and powerful preacher, convincing and eloquent. .

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION IN SESSION The Republican National Conven tion is in session at Cleveland, Ohio, and Hon. Theodore Burton, member of Congress from Ohio district, de livered the keynote speech, supposed to contain the issues upon which the President will go before the people in November, adhered principally to the tariff, tax reform, prosperity, econo my and party regularity. Burton had a lot to say about keeping the party regular and threw out all of those who attempted to interfere with the party program. He might have had Morris, Borah, Brookhart' and La Lollette in mind, and he got a big cheer for it. The corruption and graft in public affairs, which were revealed by the investigation recently conducted in Congress, were pooh-poohed by Bur ton. Evidently the Republicans will try to avoid reference to the disclos ures made by these investigations hi the campaign. Burton dismissed them abruptly with the statement that the country, will not listen to the 'ravings TTZ TrLr tLTf? to have the endorsement of President uoouage. , An expression of regret that Con gress did not hold up the Japanese ex clusion law until President Coolidge could have "negotiated" the matter with the Japanese empire brought no applause. Endorsement of the idea that in future war all capital, as well as labor, shoud be conscripted in or der to stop' profiteering, was irener- ously applauded, as was a declaration that courage as well as honesty is needed among public officials. The speech of Burton had but one meaning, to "stand hitched" to the special interests, and that there should be but two parties and that the Republiuan organization be the keepers of the individual conscience of of each member of the party, and that big business control everything in both parties. fiTGH SCHOOL PLAY A SUCCESS New School Anditorinm Was For Commencement.
