SUDDEN IS 1D{E CALL
FOR D. C. eASS
PIONEER OF STEVENSVILLE IS
STRICKEN WITHOUT WARN
ING AT HIS HOME.
Stevensville, Jan. 5.-(Special.)
Dudley C. Bass, pioneer resident of
the Bitter Root valley and known
throughout its breadth and length,
died today at his home in Stevensville
as a result of a stroke of apoplexy.
Mr. Bass went out of the house about
10 o'clock this morning. He was
missed by members of the household
but they thought nothing of his ab
sence until he failed to return by 1
p. m. Then a search was made and
his body was found lying in the yard
at one side of the house, conditions
pointing to to his having died shortly
after he left the house in the morn
ing. The death was a great shock to
this community where Mr. Bass has
lived for the past 40 years. Until a
few years ago, when he retired from
active life , and moved here to live
from the famous Pine Grove ranch,
he had been a very active man in bus
iness and had taken part in public
affairs to a considerable extent.
Besides his wife and his son, Lee
Bass, the dead man leaves a sister,
Mrs. Frank C. Ives of Missoula, and a
brother, William E. Bass of this place
to mourn his loss. The funeral will
behold Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock,
services to be at the family residence.
Interment will be in the Maplewood
cemetery.

EVANCELIST SMITH
ON MORAL LIFE
DELIVERS FINE SERMON ON THE
MORAL MAN IN RELATION
d TO CHRISTIANITY.
f
Hamilton, Jan. 5.-(Special.) -At the
men's meeting at the opera house at 3
p. in. Evangelist Smith spoke upon
"Will Living a Moral Life Save?" He
said his answer would be based abso
lutely upon the Bible, for he would
not presume to give his own opinion
upon so momentous a subject. "If you
have no faith in the Bible," said he,
"I am sorry for you. You certainly
are not a subject of congratulation."
Some of the salient things said were
these: "I believe the devil helps some
umen to be moral, for by so doing, he
robs such of real salvation, and
r through their great influence he robs
others." "It would not be true to say
the moral man's influence on a com
Inunity is worse than that of the
drunkard, but it is true that he will
keep more people away fronm Christ
and out of the church than the drunk
ard." "I would not take the moralist's
I responsibility in this regard, for all the
money you can pile, up." Mr. Smith
also said: "Being a church member,
or belonging to a secret society, good
as both are, is not necessarily salva
tion." Mr. Smith in no sense con
di mtned secret societies, but rather
commended the good they were doing,
but lie did say that one of the greatest
delucions of the day is that men are
depending upon themn for their soul's
salvation, and that there was no salva
tion in anything but the personal ac
ceptance of Jesus Christ. It would he
saying too much to state that all
agreed with the speaker, lint all had
to admit that he made an earnest plea
for orthodox Christianity.
In the evening he answered three
practical questions, "Why Be a Chris
tion and How and When?" Hi' said:
"I did not come to Hamilton to treat
people to flights of oratory or bursts of I
eloquence, but to preach the Bible, andi 4
from the avord if God I answer these
ail-important questions." In answering I
"Why" he said there are three Scrip
tural reasons. "All have sinned and
Christ came to deliver from the power *i
and penalty of sin." Second, "God's I
love in providing a way of escape from t
sin's penalty." Third, because "therei
is no other way." All of these Mr.
BSmiltI backed up with direct Scripture
passages. In answering '%-How" he
bised his reply upon the familiar alle
gi ry of the Prodigal Son, who first
caine to himself as the sinner must,
realizing his sin, anti who for that
riason forsook the old life and came .t
the Iatther, who alone could forgive,
and in like manner the sinner must
forsake his old lifi. and come to Christ
who alone can forgive.
In replying to the question "When"
Mr. Smith said: "You know when, and
all will admit that it should be now,
not to speak of the warning of the
htibli." Mr. Smith declared that of all t
deluciios the one of procrastination
was the greatest. "Nine out of every t
Ii people." said Mr. Smith, "will admit
it Is right to be ehristian, but 'notl
now,' is the coittou excuse."
At theit 3 o'clock service today Mr.
Stitth will speak upon "Personal I

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Resolutions adopt.
ed today by the Chicago 'iedration of
labor condemned the intinr procedure
4,y which the 33 labor laders were
convicted in Indianapolis of partici
pation in a nation-wide dynamite con
spiracy. Federal Judge AlIeri P. An
derson, the government avents and
the jury were included in the sweep
ing condemnation, which the on serv
ative element in the organization
vainly opposed.
Principal among the sti;tements in
the resolutions were the following:
"Prosecution of the uniin leaders
was based on 'trumped in charges.
"Judge Anderson was partial in
favor of the prosecution.
"The jury was prejuiied against
the defendants and was htfloenced by
government agents.
"The case was an all ''ipit of the
government to crush orgonizoi labor
by 'railroading' its chiefs."
The full text of the resolutions was
not given out.
The resolutions did not go through
without a fight.
Edwin R. Wright, Inreidcent of the
Illinois state Federation of Laior,
begged the delegates to "look before
they leaped."
"There is no need for haste," he
said; "this matter can he delayed two
weeks without harm: whereas organ
ized labor may h' injured irretriev
ably by the adoption of these resoln
tions in their present I'or'km.
"Organized latar was not on trial at
Indianaipolis. tirgainizied labor does
not approve of te' sits of violence of
which these in' a ire ihirged."
John Fitzpatrick, iresident, and Ed
ward NockeIs, s'cretnri of the federa
tion, were liaders in th' fight for the
resolutions.
"There is not a inhir union man in
the United statys i ho believes those
men were guilty," declared Nockels.
"I obji't to postponing formal dis
approval of the iaci's pursued by the
governni nt at I iminipoilis.''
The resolutions il'dge the loyalty
of the f'i't'ration ii ad i ts affiliated
unions to the coni ieted men. An as
sessment of five c'nis per capita to
raise a fund of aboit $4,000 for th'
assistanii of the convicted ienri's
