Vol. II,
ORIENT RAILROAD
TO CHILLICOTKE
The Stilwell Line Completing
Bridges Over Big
Streams
According to reports made by
Orient officials only about a gap
of forty miles remains to be
closed before that road will have
tráins runningfrom Kansas City
to Sweetwater direct. The
bridge gang is now about half
thru with the bridge over the
Red River, just north of Chilli-
cothe. The work of completing
the bridge over the North Wichi-
ta river should be completed this
week and material is already on
hand to complete the bridge over
the Pease river, which will be
the last big stream to be crossed
by the Orient in closing the ^ap.
The bridge over the Red river
should be completed by Septem-
ber 1 at the latest and after that
about ten or twelve more working
days will put the Orient into
Chillicothe. Then the new thru
service from Fort Worth to
Kansas City, via the Denver, will
be inaugurated.—Telegram.
President Harrington has re-
signed as president of A. & M.
College and Hon. R. T. Milner
has been chosen as his successor.
We believe this to be the wisest
course for the good of the college.
We cannot and do not uphold
any man who will take advantage
of the pulpit to arraign and
abuse his fellowpian. Every
person has a perfect right to his
or her belief, either religiously
or politically, and if we wish to
take issue with them we should
do so in a gentlemanly and
legitimate manner. We do not
believe it is the will of our
master that his servants should
heap condemnation upon the
heads of other religious denom-
inations simply because they do
not see things as we do. We be-
lieve strictly in giving to other
denominotians the right of free;
thinking and free speech, and we j
furthermore believe there are as
good people in one church as in
another, and the simple fact that
we are baptists, methodists, or
some other denominational sect,
does not signify that there are
no other christians in the world.
There are good christian people
in all churches, and it is not for
us to say what church you shall
become affiliated with, and it is
not for you to say what church
we shall join. That is a matter
left entirely with ourselves, and
it is our firm belief that you can
be saved in one church just the
same as in unother. Act well
your part and you have done as
much as anyone can do and will
meet a just reward, whether you
are affiliated with the baptists,
| methodist, presbyterian, the
christian or any other church
organization, and , the sooner
these denominational fights
cease the greáter w~ 1 be the
good accomplished ii religious
circles. Now if you \v ait to take
issue with us, that's your privi-
lege. This is just the opinion of
one man. and we do not presume
to boycott the thinking universe.
Don't fail to read the proposed
amendments to the constitution
now running in the Star, and
which will be vcied on at the
November election. They are
worthy of your consideration,
and especially the one with refer-
ence to a special tax for school
purposes. Now, don't get the
idea that in voting for this last
named amendment that you are
voting a tax of 50c on yourself,
for such is not the case. If this
proposition carries it merely
gives school communities- the
right to vote this extra tax on
themselves provided they see
proper to do so.
Meeting Deferred.
On account of the Methodist
meeting now in progress we will
defer our meeting indefinitely.
A. T. Ford, pastor.
And perhaps the Breckenridge
Democrat can account for Judge
Smith's having carried Stephens
county by two to one, and the
town of Breckinridge the home
of aforesaid organ, by nearly 3
to 1. when that paper fought so
strenuously for Cunningham.
