ONE OF THE INTERESTING EXHIBITS OF POWER APPLIED TO PLOWING.
Uproar Over Billy Sunday in 'Frisco;
Dr. Aked's Reasons for Withdrawing
Rer. "Billy" Sunday's coming to Omaha is a definite fixture, but it is
not generally known that his engagement here has been held despite power
ful pressure from San Francisco to extend his time there, as an outgrowth
of the fracas created by the withdrawal from the committee there of Rer.
Charles F. Aked, one of the leading pastors of Ban Francisco, in protest
of the so-called "Billy" Sunday methods. In this connection. Dr. Aked's
reasons for his action, given in the San Francisco Chronicle, will interest
Omaha people looking forward toe Sunday revival here:

I withdrew from the committee or a
hundred quietly, without fuss or public
ity. I thought that my letter covered
the ground. Innumerable calls, however,
this , morning Indicates that some am
plification Is demanded, and I am as
sured that It Is in the public Interest that
a more detailed publio statement should
be made.
It all come to this: - I do not know
of any consideration In the world which
would Induce me to become a party to
ttie buffoonery and blasphemy of a
Billy ftunday mission.
"The justification of thin langnag la
to be found In th reports of the - Han
Francisco press. If a person has not
read them, and has not read report of
similar . performances . 'elsewhere, he
cannot understand my feelings. I would
rather be put upon the firing line some-
wher In the neighborhood of Warsaw
than pledge myself to a belief In ths
verbal Inspiration of th daily : papers.
But unless the press men and women of
this city ar lying, unless they have en
tered Into-an agreement to II unani
mously, and heartily, then Dr. Bunday
stands condemned. If I had not with
drawn from the committee, I should feel
that I shar .and deserv to share In th
condemnation. ...

a vast number of other which I have

that Dr. Bunday himself could not better
Imitate his own style, I am content to
make my appeal to th good sens of th
religious community upon the ground of
such an ut te.-ano.
"Let v us plain and honest speech. I
do not know whether Cleopatra ever sat
naked In a boat and caused herself to

that Dr. Sunday's historical reading Is
wider than my own, or that this Incident
Impressed Itself more deeply upon hi
memory than on mine as It probably
would do then It' Is conoelvabl that
there might at some time be some rea
son for stating ths fact, though It is
difficult to Imairin th relevancy of It
to the gospel message. Yet I tek my
stand here; that nothing en God's, earth

gestlvaness of Dr. Sunday's phrases, t
"There can beonly on object In stat
ing th fact-lf It Is a fact in that way.

anewer whether any pit rones can b
served by this sort of talk In a sermon:
whether the preacher wished to serv any
purpose beyond that of causing a broad
grin among the delighted perspiring boys,
and a tutor and giggle among th girl.

fathers and mothers will understand
that the youngster hav not been to a

understand that the boys hav been to a
religious service and have listened to a
preacher who by th grace of an Amer
ican college Is a doctor of divinity, and
who Is supported by th leading clergy of
San Francisco. '
"My opposition to the proposal to in
vito Dr. Sunday could not, of course,
be grounded in thee utterance, because
th meeting at which I voiced my objec
tions was held many months ago, and my
letter withdrawing from th committee
wss written nearly two weeks ago. I had -
before me that Urn such evidence as
this:
"Princeton university refused to Invite
Dr. Sunday and gave Ha reasons. Th
dean of the graduate school, over his own
signature, printed quotations from Dr.
Sunday's 'sermons,' and made this state
ment: 'Every " passage quoted Is taken
from the official copyright report of Mr.
Sunday'' Ilhlladeiphla addresses, pub
lished with his sanction in th Phila
delphia Evening Telegraph during Janu
ary and February. Their accuracy can
not ha questioned.' And the are speci

"If a minister believes and teaches evo

"Your wife has a rood a right to line

the hog gut you do as you have.

Stenographer Has

Mis Iiasel M. Kerman, public stenog
rapher, with an office adjoining that of
Oeorge D. Melklejohn, in the Brandels
Theater building, was a. beneficiary of
th Thaw munificence while he was In
Omaha.
Harry came In with Mr. Melklejohn and
suddenly decided that he wanted to writ
some letters. He dictated them and the
young typist then tickled the keys of the
typewriter In her A-No. 1 style.
And while she wrote she thought. And
her thoughts were something along this

By thi time the letters were finished.
Thaw read them over.

"They call this a revival of religion.
"But It 'will be observed In my letter to
th committe I took another ground.
I did so because X had read th apolo
gies for Dr. Sunday made by clergy
men, and heard In committe th argu
ment In support of the Invitation. This
Is th gist of them: "Sunday says and
does many things which we regret,
which w cannot Justify. - But h gets
results. Men and women ar converted,
"VV hav to tolerate his profanity and
other things which w condemn because
souls ar saved.
"And against that I declare. In cara
fuly chosen words, that even if every
'result' olalmed by the 'official press
agent' Is as recorded a colossal 'if
and even If every one who professes
conversion' is a penitent and a be
llow In Dr. Sunday's 'gospel.' then the
Injury don by the presentation of such
a loathsome gospel, with such a fright
ful Ood, such a grotesqu Christ, such
a fantaatlo heaven, such an impossible
hell, must outmessure and outweigh be
yond all calculation th good obtained
by those 'results.' I have said, and I aay
again, ther 1 no such Ood. no such
Christ, no such heaven and no such hell.
"If the pulpit and th pew substitute
for th religion of Jesus Christ th gos
pel according to Billy Sunday.' then
Protestant Christianity 1 doomed, and
man' Indignant heart will turn away
to find the symbols of it faith elsewhere."

Tn bur. Tractor Motors we have mot all of these requisites and
more, too. The Beaver Motor stands the finished product of fifteen
years of endeavor. The .best engineering skill in the country was '
brought to bear upon perfecting a motor which would meet all of the
demands of the past, and, at tho same time, anticipate the demands
of the future. To do this, it was necessary for us to draw upon our
almost unlimited resources. Wo have succeeded, and the Beaver
Motor stands today on the topmost pinnaclo of engineering success,'
and marks a new epoch in motor construction. . . ' (
Beaver Tractor Motors are mide by men who make nothing but
motors, who by doing the same thing over and over have become mas
ters in perfection. We have the advantage in manufacturing facili
ties and in masterful workmen th at no tractor motor manufacturer
can boast. ,
Among many other tractor manufacturers who are using Beaver Motors in their tractors with the utmost satis
faction we might mention Electric Wheel Co., Quincy, 111.; Peoria Tractor Co., Tcoria, 111.; William Galloway, Co.,
Waterloo, Ia., and Denning Motor Implement Co., Cedar Rapids, la.
U your, tractor has a Beaver Motor in it, you are ass tired of the best service obtainable. .Some of the most ex
clusive tractor builders in the country today have established an enviable reputation for the excellence of their prod
ucts because they have installed, under their own name plate, the. Beaver Tractor Motor. - ' '
Our motors have been subjected to the severest tests and have not failed in any instance to give tha utmost
satisfactory result". - . r - . " ; , -
