WHAT Is AN ANNIvERsARY i-The AtchisOn
Champion propounds this question. 1t wants TO
know whether, at the completion of twenty -four
years, the twenty-ffth anniversary does not oc-
cur. An anniversary is the annual return of the
day on which something occurred. The day on
which person is born is certainly pot an ami
versary. The anniversary does not begin until
his next birthday; therefore the Champion, he
ing twenty -four years old, celebrates its twenty
fourth anniversary.
The Champion also revives the old discussion
rs to whether the present century commenced on
the LIST of January, 1900, or the lst of January,
1901. A little reflection would settle that ques-
tion. 1t takes one hundred years to make a GEN.
tury. The list of January, 1900, was only the
beginning of the one hundredth year. In count
ing, each hundred begins with the number one
Therefore, the first day of 1901, was the begin
ming of new century. If the sum of $500 were
laid down, in ten cent pieces, the man who was
entitled TO them, certainly would not stop pick
ing up until he got the last dime in the $780,
According to the other theory, when he reached
the first dime of the eighteen hundredth dollar,
he would have to stop, for his $500 would be
completed.

BLIND WITNEssEs.-Whenever facts are stated
with regard TO the ineifieieney of the Maine liq-
uor law, prohibirioHists at once 1y to Neal Dow
for evidence No matter If Thousand good men
testify to its failure, Neal Dow's word is taken
against them all. Neal Dow is a superannuated
old seed, who has made failure Of nearly quar-
ter of a century's effort TO suppress liquor IN
Maine 1t Is notorious that the attempt has been
a signal failure, yet he writes long and tedious
essays TO prove that it is grand snceess. So in
Kansas. The people of every town in the State
know that the prohibitOry law is failure in
their midst yet the people of other States are
asked TO take the evidence of st. John, who pro-
claims it a grand success. These one-sided IA
natics cannot bring themselves to confess that
their pet progeny is an abortion. The eulprit at
the bar of justice, who knows that he hes com
mitted crime, but stands mp and pleads "not
guilty." hopes to get clear by keeping the truth
from the jury. So Neal Dow aud St. John hope
to win their ease.

Owner.hip or Church Properly.

Ownershfp OF Church Property.
Who owns the church property in Kansas, when
the church is incorporated,
Section three Of Article twelve. of the Constitu.
tion Of the State Of Kansas provides that the title 70
all property of religious corporations shall vest in
trnstees whose election shall be by the members Of
such corporations.
Sections = and . Of the statutes give the trustees
or directors full power and control over the secular
Affairs Of the corporation. Section l9 gives them
power to make bylaws to govern the corporation.
Other sections provide how the corporation shall
aequire and convey real estate, and to hold annual
elections for officers, &c.
Now, all the churches in this State. which have
organized under this law and have taken their char.
tiers from the Secretary of State, are governed by
this act in regard to the property held by the cor
porations and the title can only be acquired and
conveyed prescribed in the law of interpretations
Each corporation is n separate and independent
body. having full aud complete control of the secu-
lar affairs of the religious body. acting through its
trustees or directors. But neither the corporation
nor trustees divert the Purposes Of the trust or
make use of the trust fund for any other purpose
object than that specified in the charter. The in
corporations the beneeiaries Of the trust fuuds
and IN case Of any attempt the part Of the
trustees or any members of the corporation to di-
vest the funds of the corporation Court of Equity
would interfere to protect the fund, and in a proper
case, declare forfeiture of the charter religious
corporation. thus organized is responsible only to
the members of that particular religious body or
society for abuse of the trust with which it is invest
ed Tor their benefit and the trustees can when au-
thorired by majority of the church corporation,
sell the same, and give good title without the con-
sent or authority Of any Synod Presbytery, Con-
ference, or any other ecclesiastical body or associa-
tion.
Ofcourse. the corporation has no control Of the
spiritual affairs of the church, and do nothing
to interfere with control the mode of worship Of
the church, or in any manner interfere with the
spiritual government of the church.
Much more might be said but enough is said to
show who has title and control of the church prop
erty in Kansas. DMJ

Perhaps if the prohibition papers would get
the idea out of their heads that the papers that
oppose the measure do so only for profit, they
would understand some things better. We will
say to the Recorder, and TO all Others who look
from the same standpoint, that we have never
received single nickel for opposing the prohib-
itory amendment OF law; and we have not re-
ceived half a dozen subscribers on account of our
position Oh that question. We oppose the meas
ure, because we do not believe that it is practic-
able, and because it goes to such extremes that
it is unjust. If our object was pecunary profit,
we would not have much indueement to keep it
up. The appearance of the Chicfis not affected

EXTRA SEssIOS.-Now that the appOrtionment
bill has virtually passed, the Chief is IN favor of
an extra session of the Legislature, for the pur-
pose of districting the State. We do not care
what is done With the liquor law, and do not
consider the necessary expense barrier; even
the wants of the West should not stand in the
way The State should be distrieted before the
next election. Electing by general ticket is
fraud. 1t will open the way for trading and
swapping politicians, in which some sections VIII
take the lions share, leaving other sections ul-
represented. By Districts, every section would
get its own Congressman. Speaking of the West,
its only showing is in distrieting. 1t will be
fair to all sections and is the only way that will
be fair Let us have the extra session.
