Pulpit Exp zare of Dope Traffic Meets Rebuff 1 Preaching of Christianity Most • Powerful Weapon Against Crime, Omaha Minis ters Declare. Dressing up like a bum, making a brief visit to the underworld and then making wholesale exposures from the pulpit Is not the best way to combat vice, declared Omaha ministers yes- j terday. Practically all stated that j preaching of Christianity is a more ! powerful means of combating the j sale of "dope,” "bootleg" liquor and : other vices. "The people at this time are, in my opinion, looking for the Christianity they need—the old fashioned kind," j said Rev. Paul Calhoun, pastor of the , Central United Presbyterian church. "1 believe that Christianity is the best I weapon against vice." Rev. 11. C. Whitcomb, pastor of the j Calvary P-aptlst church, said, "If ! there is such a problem In the high - schools as was presented from a pul pit last Sunday. I think it would have been much more effective to notify tlie school authorities before broad - .isting it. Such an expose reflects on’ ihousands of perfectly innocent young men and women." As I see it. there has been no ox- ; uosure: at least exposure based on : inngible facts," said Rev. Victor West. I astor of the AVulnut Hill Methodist . ■ hureh. "I prefer the less sensational way of building up a congregation, lhat of plodding along, preaching the < Jospel.” "These sensational exposures seem very foolish to me." said Rev. J. AA . <S. Fast, pastor of the First Methodist church. “I have seen so many of these •cleanups’ that have done no positive good, that I simply can’t approve of ihem from any angle. The best arm against vice is religion and educa tion. ” Railroad Ticket Office Plans Are “Up in tlie Air*’ Negotiations for a new location for l he oNithwestern city ticket office nre up in the air." according to railroad officials. Offices on the main floor of itye Paxton hotel, just west of the main entrance on Farnain street, arc mentioned ns a possible site, although ;i is rumored that the Union Pacific is making a strong effort "to prevail 1 upon the Northwestern to remain in . s present locution in the Union Pa cific building. It is stated no definite steps will l>e taken with regard to this new location until after March 15, when a meeting is scheduled to take place in Chicago. Previous to the consolidation of ticket offices, the Northwestern ticket office was located in the Paxton hotel. Mr*. C. A. Harri*. 78, Die* .Mrs. Celescia A.

When the second week of Septem ber came around, Claude threw a few clothes and books Into his trunk and said goodby to his mother and Ma hailey. Ralph took him Into Frank fort to catch the train for Lincoln. After settling himself in the dirty day coach Claude fell to meditating upon his prorfpecte. There was a Pull man car on the train, but to take a Pullman for a daylight Journey was one of the things a Wheeler did not do. Claude knew that he was going back to the wrong school, that h*' was wast ing both time and money. He sneered at himself for his lack of spirit. If he had fo do with strangers, he told himself, he could assert himself against his father or mother, but he could be bold enough with the rest of the world. Yet, If this were true, why did he continue to live with the tiresome Chapins? The Chapin household consisted of a brother and sister Kdward Chapin was a man of 26, with an old, wauled face—and he was still going to school studying for the ministry. His sister. Annabelle, ke*pt house for him; that Is to say, she did whatever housework was done. The brother supported him self and his sister by getting odd jobs from churches and religious so ■iettes: he "supplied" the pulpit when a minister was ill, did secretarial work or the college and the Young Men's hristlan association. Claude’s weekly payment for room and board, though i small sum, was very necessary to , heir comfort. Chapin hail been going to the Tem ple college for four years, arid it , mid probably take him two years ] more to complete the course. He con ned his book on trolley cars, or while j he waited by the track on windy cor- ! tiers, end studied far into the night, j His natural stupidity must have been j something out of the ordinary; after1 years of reverential study, lie could I not read the (ink testament without a lexicon and grammar at bis elbow. He gave a great ileal of time to prac tii e of elocution and oratory. At cer tain hours their frail domicile—It had ben thinly built for the academic poor and sat upon concrete blocks In lieu of a foundation—re-echoed with his hoarse, overstrained voice, declaim ing his own orations or those of Wen dell Phillips. Amabelle Chapin was one of Claude's classmates. She was not as dull as her brother; she could learn a conjugation ami recognize the forms when she met with them again. But she teas a gushing, silly g.rl, who found almost everything in their grub by life too good to be true; and she was. unfortunately, sentimental about Claude. Annabelle chanted her les sons over and over to herself while she cooked and scrubbed. She was one of those people who can make the finest things seem tame and flat by alluding to them. Last winter she had recited the odes of Horace about the hnusi—It wan exactly her notion of the student-like thing to do—until Claude feared he would always asso ciate that poet with the heaviness of hurriedly prepared luncheons Airs. Wheeler liked to feel that Claude was assisting this worthy pair in tii«ir struggle for an education; but he bad long ago decided that since neither of the Chapins got anything out of their efforts but a kind of j messy inefficiency, the struggle might j better have been relinquished in the beginning. He took care of his own room; kept It bare an habitable, free from Annabelle's attentions and dec orations. But the flimsy pretenses of light housekeeping were very dis» tasteful to him. He was born with a love of order, Just as he was born with red hair. It was a personal at tribute. The boy felt bitterly about the way in which lie had been brought up, and aliout his hair and his freckle* j and his awkwardness When he went i In til* theater In Lincoln, he took | a seat in the gallery, because he knew that he looked like a green country hoy. His clothes were never r.ght. j He bought collars that were too high . and neckties that were too bright, I and hid them away in his trunk. Hi* j one experiment wish a tailor was un successful. The taJlor saw at once that hi* stammering client didn't know what he wanted, so he persuaded him that as the season was spring he needed light checked trouser* and a blue serge coat and vest. When Claude wore his new clothes to fit. Pauls church on Sunday morning the eyes of every one, he rnet followed Ills smart leg* down the street. For the next week he observed the legs of old men and young, and decided there wasn't another pair of checked pants In Lincoln. He hung his new clothes up in his closet and never put them on again, though Annabeile Chapin watched for them wistfully. Nevertheless, Claude thought he could recognise a well dressed man when he saw one. He even thought he could recognize a well dressed wo man. If an attractive woman got into the street far when he was on his way to or from Temple place, he was distracted b tween the desire to look at her and the wish to seem indiffer ent. Claude is on his way back to Lin coln. with a fairiy liberal allowance which does not contribute much to h.s comfort or pleasure. He has no friends or instructors whom he can regard with admiration, though the need to admire is just now upper most in his nature. He 1* convinced that the people who might mean some-* thing to him will always misjudge j him snd pass him by. llu is not so' much afraid of loneliness as he Is of j accepting cheap substitute*; of mak j mg excuses to himself for a teacher ; who flatters him, of waking up some morning to .find himself admiring a girl merely because she is access,ble. He has a dread of easy compromise and he Is terribly afraid of being * I fooled. (To Be Continued IMMISS.)
