Is here successfully and extensively pursued. The Callin and

immense territory of productive soil.

“Don’t keep telling about your last
appointment,” says Di-hop Fowler.
I know a minister who wan always
lulling how the people treated him
at Brownsville. It was Brownsville
hero and Brownsville there—every
thing was Brownsville. This went
on until everyone was thoroughly
tired of hearing Brownsville. One
night a goodly old I .<!y arose in
weekly prayer-meeting to give in her
j testimony. .She was a dear, good
soul, one the saints on earth. She
; said she had hud a hard week. “My
I *‘oul, w sliu said, “has been greatly
depressed all week, and my hopw
very dim I can no longer see my
way to reach heaven; I may hold
out to reach Brownsville, but I can't
get a step farther.” This was the
last heard of Brownsville in that

Who is Bro. Hopkins any

‘•I greatly dislike,” *aid a Pueblo
minister ln*t Sunday, after rhe sing
ing of the first hymn, “to make any
personal allusion from the pulpit.
If it I feel as if a certain occurrence
demanded a word. I refer to the
case of Brother Hopkins, who lost
$J0 on Royal George tho running
horse, at the State fair recently, and
got road, and set up a great howl
about fraud, and tried to clean out
the wholo committee, and so forth.
It was in poor taste and deserves tho
strongest denunciation. I sup
pose I might also add by way of
example,” continued the good matt
as he turned over tho leaves search
j ing for his text, “that I was backing
Royal George to the tuno of >
myself, but when I lost T did not go
around roaring as if 1 had lost a

1 The growth of the troublesome
j and dangerous clement known as an
j archists and socialists, composed of
j men who disregard and dety tho
j laws of tho land, who seek to tear
down rather than to build up, is a
matter of considerable moment to
I the law-abiding people of our cotm
! try. We belie\c America should be
j for Americans, not native born solc
. lv, but for all those who in heart
‘ and soul love our country ami sup
port its institution*. Some of the
best citizens wo have arc foregn born
while some who are not Americans,
never were, and never will be, were
j born in this country. An American
I is a man who believes in American
I institutions and is loyal to the gov
i cm ing authorities no matter whore
i he was born. For this class alone
America should he preserved. No
j oilier man lias any business to be a
j citizens of tins republic. Tim
; United States lias to day millions of
{ citizens of foreign birth who will
j gladly rise up In their might to dc
: fend and preserve American iu.-tiiu-
I lions, the public schools included,
j and they will bring confusion to an
i archy and socialism. It is necessary
i for the welfare of our country that
; this dangerous element, should l»e
j checked and controlled. It proba
| bly can never bo stamped out, bc
j cousc the world lias always produced
| a certain number of worthless and
j vicious men and always will, but
that class if cowardly and must bo
j controlled through fear if in no oilier
way. The disfranci*emcnt of every
man who openly utters language tha'r.
is disloyal to the government would
have a salutary effect upon the fol
lowers of the red Hag. Then let it
be American for Americins no dif
ference where the American was
born.—Kansas Cilv Real Estate Rec
