Held Up to Pastor
Los Angeles Presbytery Hopes to
Bring Out the Story of Dr.
Mason's Wooing.
LOS ANGELES. Sept fi.—At a spe
cial session of the Los Angeles Pres
bytery the entire story of Dr. O. H.
L. Mason's indiscretions with two
young women in his church are ex
pected to be revealed.
For two months a contest has been
waged in the First Presbyterian
Church. Long Beach, between those
who wanted the pastor to resign and
those who sought to have him re
tained
The officers of the church have sub
mitted a statement to the Presbytery
in which they say Dr. Mason con
fessed he took one of the girls to a
Los Angeles cafe, where she drank
wine and he had lemonade with
something stronger in it.
They have also placed before the
Presbytery a signed statement by the
other In which she says that the
pastor made lov* to her. held her in
his lap and carewed her and finally
made such advances that she no
longer could accept his display of
affection as paternal.
'Untamable' Wild
Geese Domesticated
Family of Six, With Uncropped
Wings. Live Happily on Farm in
State of Ohio.
BELLEFO N T AINE, OHIO. Sept. *
"There is nothing as wild as a wild
goose is an old saying. The saw iy
subject to ex< eptlons. for a family of
wild geese lives on the farm of E. O
and H. K Hubbard, newspaper pub
lishers of Bellcfontaine. Their wings
are not cropped and they are as tame
a« kittens. < njoying the freedom of
the fields and barnyard and making
occasional trips to a small lake on the
farm when they desire a dip.
This summer the proud parents are
giving much J.iention to four little
geese that \\ «re hatched out in the
spring.
WHAT HEFLIN THINKS OF SUFFRAGE:
This woman suffrage movement is the (greatest peril now
threatening the English-speaking people.
The family is the social unit, the harmonious whole, with
one head, not two heads
Sex antagonism will spring up in the wake of woman suf
frage, and the sentiment betwen the sexes will be destroyed.
In the mad elamor for the ballot, women are hazarding
I
much, and entering ori a perilous journey.
Upon the home-loving, man-trusting, consecrated Chris
tian women of the United States rests the safety of our insti
tutions and the perpetuity of the republic.
WHAT HEFLIN THINKS OF DRESS:
The evil genius of lustful fashion through immodest dress
is playing havoc with a certain class of women, and setting
a bad example for others.
The woman who teaches her daughter modesty and good
sense has done more for her day and her generation than she
ever could by active participation in politics.
WHAT SUFFRAGISTS THINK OF HEFLIN:
Ignorance in qome people may he excused, but not in a,
member of Congress, and I think every Congressman and Sen
ator ought to be made to take a course in constitutional his
tory before being permitted to speak in public.—Mk«. JESSIE

Alabama Orator Stops Eulogies On King Cotton
to Deliver Philippics Against Suffrage
and Slit Skirts.
Congressman J. Thomas Heflin, of
the Fifth District of Alabama, Is the
silver-tongued, lusty-lunged spell
binder of Democracy. He is the By
ronic, Bryanic orator whose voice has
been raised in the hall of Congress
on every subject from the extermina
tion of the boll weevil to tne anni
hilation of the trust octopus. He has
gained national fame and the undying
love of his Black Belt constituents by
shooting at a Washington negro who
"satsed” him It is plain that "Cot
ton Tom” has done much.
But the gentleman from Alabama
is nothing if not energetic, and so
pined he for new worlds to conquer.
Back he thrust a raven lock, and with
a glint of determination in his eye, he
sallied forth on a deed of new em
prise. Woman, frail woman, her fads
foibles, her faults and fancies, was
the windmill against which he would
shiver his lance. He would make his
war against the slit skirt, the diaph
anous dress, the equal ballot, and
other lunacies of the new woman
And he has. They heard from him
first In Washington, when he said the
dress of the day was inspired by
"the evil genius of lustful fashion."
The big guns of his eloquence, that
once were trained on the bulls and
the bears of stock gambling, were
directed then with no less sincerity
against lighter things.
Find* Her New World.
Then he went to Lynchburg, Va.,
where he spoke before a Y. M. C. A.
gathering And he said:
"This woman suffrage movement
is the greatest peril now threatening
the English speaking people."
It seems that tne doughty gentle
man from Alabama has indeed found
a new world to conquer. The tongue
that once proclaim the glory of
King Cotton is consecrated to the
crusade against woman, silly woman.
The accents that once awoke the
echoes In hill and dale of the Fifth
District, as It proclaimed falteringly
“Oh. My People," now faltered on a
new mission.
Not that the gentleman is without
chivalry. Listen:
"I stand with uncovered head at the
shrine of a gentle., modest woman
hood." he said in the Lynchburg
speech. "They are golden links la
the endless chain of the Almighty’s
plan to people tin* Mlth With br
ings whom God with His own image
blessed."
It is worthy of Heflin at his best.
Can’t you hear the voice quaver, with
the same old tremolo effects? Mr
Heflin is still the gallant Southron,
for all his mission agalns the frail
ties of the gentler sex.
Suffragettes and modistes, they are
saying in Washington, would- do well
to run for cover, for "Cotton Tom"
is tireless. And these purveyors to
woman's fancies are not the only sor
row-stricken multitude. Congressman
Thomas Heflin’s new crusade does
not lend Itself to anything that is
known of his repertoire of rather ex
cellent Jokes.

A plantation story Heflln-told is

nigger camp meeting in a philippic
on fashions or a speech against suff
rage? it is duller now in Washington,
they say, since "Cotton Tom” sallied
forth in vindictive quest of the mode
and the suffragette.
And how. they say, when he gets
back home in the Fifth, can he shout
at barbecues and schoolhouse rais
ings. as was his wont:
"Ah. my people! I have worked
long and faithfully in your interests."
But he has found a new world to
conquer, and fearlessly has set out
to conquer it. •
However, he is not going unchal
lenged. Already an answer lias come,
an* answer so heated and indignant
that it seems a sad day indeed for
the gentleman from Alabama when
he framed his new campaign, and
pulled down thereby the capable in- !
veetive of American suffragettedom j
on his head.
The answer comes from Mrs. Jessie
Hardy Stubbs, of the Congressional !
committee of the National Suffrage
Association. It is Just such a clinch- j
ing answer that a confident suffra- i
gette would be expected to make, a 1
smiling, supercilious, "pity-the-mere- j
man" kind of answer.
“Brother Heflin doesn’t mean any I
harm.” says Mrs. Stubbs. “He’s just
ignorant." /
Suggests Examination.
Take that, you foolhardy knight
errant, who would go out to fight the
noble causes of suffrage and slit !
skirts.
Mrs. Stubbs suggests that Mr. Hef- j
lin. together with other Congressmen, !
be forced to take a course in constl- |
tutional history. Certain incidents to
which he referred in his speech, she
said, were dead and done away with
years ago.
"Somebody ought to inform Mr.
Heflin that the world has moved on,"
she says. "I don't believe Re willfully
intends to misrepresent things."
And so the Ciceronian gentleman
from Alabama is not going unchal
lenged. And not all suffragettes are
running to cover.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.—Efforts to ob
tain a parole or pardon for F. A. Bar
rington Seymour, the notorious "Lord
Barrington,’’ serving a life sentence
( for the murder of James P. McCann
j near St. Louis in 1902, are revealed by
a member of the State Pardon Board.
Strangely, the woman whom Bar
rington married, and who was chiefly
instrumental in his exposure as an
impostor, is said to be deeply in
terested In the fight for his freedom.
That the United States Department
of Justice will be drawn into the case
seems certain, as "Barrington’s" chief
point in his defense is that the man
he was convicted of slaying is now
alive in the person of James P. May*
bray, whose band of horse and foot
! racing swindlers was broken up by
the Federal Government after many
i of them had been sent to prison.
The "Barrington” trial, which formed
I an international case on account of
the defendant's claims to British no
bility, has proved a bone of conten-
tion and a mystery to the police for
i ten years. Opinion as to the prison-
: er’s guilt has been divided.
The greatest point made agalns;
"Barrington" at the time of his trial
was the fact'"that his claims of birth
were not proven. Even in the history
of his life, which he has submitted to
the Pardon Board, "Barrington” has
refused to give definite facts.
The report that Grace Cochran, the
Kansas City girl w ho was married to
"Barrington” while the latter was be
ing feted in St. Louis as a member of |
the nobility, and who later had their
marriage annulled, is aiding him
proves to be one of the strangest inci
dents of the case.

tragedy met in the postoffice, and the
young wife went to her lock box to
get the mail, Judge Godbee whispered
a curt message to his former wife, at
w’hirh all her resentment blazed up.
This word from the man will be re
peated in court, it is believed.
The story of their lives together
is known to every person in Jenkins
County. Nearly 30 years ago young
Walter Godbee went to Perkins and
opened a general merchandise store.
The father of Mrs. Godbee was then
wealthy, and the you,ng merchant
gained his friendship. Perkins died,
and Godbee became administrator of
his estate, later njarrymg Miss Edna
Perkins, a handsome girl.
The couple moved to Millen, It
was there the marital troubles began.
Judge Godbee, a few yeArs ago, shot
and killed the young brother of his
wife. Dave Perkins, and it is alleged
he refused to allow her to attend her
brother’s funeral.
All this is the story on the public’s
lips, which it is expected will be re
vealed at the trial.
fluence while she felt the pinch of
poverty. This charge was made at
the time the two were involved in
the divorce litigation.
Then, several years after the ulti
mate separation, and after her charge
of a stolen fortune, Judge Godbee
married again, this time a young girl
of Pennsylvania. He brought his
bride to his wealthy home. In the
same town lived his former wife, in
poverty. Resentment burned hotly
In the breast of the first Mrs. Godbee.
It is reported that she complained of
being tantalized by the newly mar
ried couple, telling of how they drove
past her home each day several times,
scornfully sounding the horn of their
automobile.
Asks Financial Aid.
As the story of Mrs. Godbee takes
shape, it is revealed that several days
before the shooting she wrote her
former husband, asking financial as
sistance of him. Another rumor is
that, when the three parties to the

Economy in buying a piano consists of getting the best in

It does not necessarily consist in obtaining an instrument at
a low price, because some pianos and player-pianos are expen
sive at any figure.
But there is a limit beyond which you can not

You should expect to give what the piano is worth, hut vou

That principle is the basis of our selling policy, and we are
prepared to show our patrons that every instrument is marked at
a fair price.
You can pay as much as $1,250.00 for one of our pianos, or
as low as $195.00. In any case you get the full value of vour in

Reliability is the key-note to be considered. The W. \Y. Kim
