Convention of 2,000
Delegates to Gather
in Denver.
Cumberland Presby
terians Kick Against
Coercion of Members.
Washington, Mar IT—On Mar 1*, 1»
and 10, In Denver, will ba held a con
vention of 2,000 delegates, which could
be accurately described as the trana-
Mississippi antl-Rooserelt convention.
The administration knows what Is go
ing on, and Is lighting the movement at
every step.
Governor Henry A. Bucbtel, of Colo
rado, called the convention. In pursu
ance of a resolution adopted by the
Colorado legislature last winter. That
resolution was adopted by the same
legislature which elected Blmon Gug
genheim to be United States senator,
who Is said to be behind the movement.
Reserves Too Largs.
At the bottom of the trouble la the
policy of active, persistent warfare on
big Interests that have been charged
with getting special advantages out of
the public lands. The forest reserve
policy Is not popular In the West. It
Is charged that an empire bigger than
France Is now laid off In forest rS'
serves.
Senator Carter, of Montana, charges
that the administration of the forest
reserves and of other public lands Is
driving American Immigration to Can
ada
Less West to Roosevelt
In short, land fraud prosecutions
have alienated the big Interests and.
the forest reserve policy, with the re
striction of public land entries, has
alienated many of the plain people of
the West. By skillful handling of these
elements. It Is hoped at the Denver
convention to get the West squarely
on record as opposing the administra
tion.
Forestry Commlsaloner Plnchot,
whom the Western senators described
last winter as the "feudal lord of a
domain larger than France, and more
absolute ruler than the cxar Is of
Russia,” will go and will make Trojan
efforts to stem the tide of opposition
to himself and the president. It Is ex
pected that Commissioner Bellinger, of
the general land office, will address
the gathering, and that many other
representatives of the administration
will take part.
SHERIFF J1 MILNER

bly of the Cumberland Presbyterian

phia, woe elected moderator without

Dr. Ira Landrlth, of Nashville, Tenn..

yesterday afternoon advocating a cru
sade for the winning of negroes to re
ligion.
The sermon took up the race ques
tion In the South, so far as It Is In
volved In the union, and after showing
that the united church had made ade
quate provision for the separation of
whites and blucks In Presbyteries and
synods of their own, thus enabling the
white people of the North and South
to work together for the moral and
educational aid of the negro without
violating the rights of the social order
of cither race, declared that the evan
gelisation of the negro Is to be accom
plished by neither long-range senti
mentality nor short-range Indifference,
und that the time has fully come when
the black man's white neighbor and
that same black man's too far-away
friend must alt down together In a
mutually satisfying conference about
whnt Is the next step, neither party to
the conference claiming a monopoly of
wisdom, methods, or leaponslbtlltles.
After naming various religious and
educational opportunities for aggressive
church work In the South, the preach
er made a specific upiical to Ills own
church to devote to that section for the
next five years all of the funds and
workers that cun be spared.
