that the church might be thoroughly Pres
bvterian. The old Psalms were used, and
communion seals.
The church was without an organ, and q
new building in which to worship was soon
necessity. As the people got ready the Ses-
sion made such changes as to put the church
in line with other churches in the Presby-
terry, and these changes were made without
offense. A new church has been erected, a
commodious parsonage has been constructed
on nine acres owned by the congregation;
and, within the past year, the good people
have put up neat chapel for prayer meet
ing and school purposes. There is no coun-
try congregation with better facilities for
doing church work than the church which
celebrates its centennial to-day. 1t enters
upon Its second century better equipped
than ever before. Everything has changed
at Poke Run in the last 20 years, except the
hill on which the church stands.
GROWTH OF THE ORGANIZATION.
1t would be interesting to know how
many members the church has received
during the century, but we can only guess
at the number. 1t does not seem to have
grown In numbers very fast during the first
~ years. The first report made to Presby-
terry was in 1911, when So members were re-
ported. The next report was in 1924, when
the number was 122 communicates. When
DIR. kirkpatrick took charge of the congre-
CATION he saws there were 261 members. The
additions to the church during his pastorate
were 6O6, and the number added during the
last Il years 5l9, making a total of 1856

NEW RULES NEEDED
If the Minority is to be Kept From
Blocking Legislation.
SOUTHERNERS NOWIN THE SADDLE
They Have Found the Way to Defeat Even
Reeds Regulations.
THE RECORD SHOULD BE AN EXACT ONE
tFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. ,

/
WASHINGTON, September 2O.-Tne con-
victioh seems to be inbred in the Southern
mind that the Southern Democrat must rule
wherever he may be. He has never for a
moment believed in the rule of the majority
unless he was of the majority This has
never been more clearly evident than during
the current session of Congress. On every
question involving political principle the
Democrats, led by the Southern wing, have
attempted to obstruct. They have defed
the officers of the House, kicked down doors,
shown an utter contempt for dignity and
discipline, and offered personal insults to
the Speaker almost every day. If the Re-
publicans have been coarse and vulgar, the
Democrats have been riotous and brutal.
They have this as their excuse-that their
offenses have been based on political antag-
onism. They have been guilty of neither
offense nor brutality on account of a mere
love of bandying epithets, as some of the
Republicans have sometimes seemed to be.
For political advantage alone they resort to
riotous and revolutionary proceedings, even
to the smashing down of doors to prevent
transaction of business. This defiance OF
majority rule is vital popularity. 1t is
impossible to make a Southern Democrat
understand that the country is full of intel
ligent people who read the daily newspapers
and who will hold the majority responsible
for their conduct. The Southern Democrat
believes in nothing so much as that he,
though in the minority, will be
made to bear the burden of responsibility
for every law that is enacted by Congress,
and SO, not content with uttering this pro-
test as eloquently as he may. he feels that
he must resist, even to the point of fighting
and destroying the buildings and furniture
of the Government, to prevent the passage
of bills which are, according to his omnisci-
ence, not politically right This would be
amusing if 1t were not so serious.

to pervert or modify its original meaning
without the consent of the body at large.
The modification of the Kennedy speech
is good illustration Of what may be done
in this respect. A member may abuse an
other member in the foulest manner, and yet
so change it before its appearance IN the
Record as to avoid all censure from the
House, though the original language may
have gone to the country in all its foulness,
Or, the member may keep his speech out OF
the Record altogether, which is yet more OBJ
jectionable. 1t is agreed on all sides that
the Record should be faithful transcript
tion of the proceedings, and the scandalous
departures from this truthfulness in the
recent past will doubtless bring about the
necessary restriction of the freedom with
which members destroy and modify speeches
which have become the property Of the pub
lie by reason of their delivery.
With such changes in the law governing
the conduct of the House and Senate, all OF
which have been advocated on the floor OF
the respective chambers, the American Con-
gress would be as orderly body as the par
liaments Of England, of Germany, or Of
Austria, and these are the model delibera-
tive bodies of the world so far as mere order
is concerned. E. w. l..

NEW CARNEGIE ART GALLERY.

Superintendent WaddinEron Has Collec-
tion of His Own In spite of Councils.
Carnegie Free Library has an art gallery
without the aid of Allegheny Councils. 1t
is owned by Superintendent Thomas Wad-
dington, and is located in the basement of
that pile of granite. He did not have room
for the collection in his Office. He has the
pictures hung where they will show to the
best advantage in the glare of the electric
light.
Occupying prominent place is framed
flag which foated in the breeze in the cam
paigns which seated the elder Harrison in the
Presidential chair. Beside it is handsome
steel engraving entitled "Music Hath
Charms" There are also four oil paintings
representing summer scenes, and with their
brightness are hung the gloomy pictures of
Andersonville and Libby prisons A large
framed photograph OF the Odd Fellows in
front of the library. The collection is
topped off with pretty picture of the ever
popular frankie Cleveland.

Reed Must Revise His Rules.

1t is plain that the rules must be further
revised before sensible and dignifed man
agement of the House of Representatives Is
possible. 1t must be put out of the power of
the minority to destroy quorum. In short
it must be made imperative that every mem.
Der shall be present and vote on every
question unless he is formally excused
Laxity in the conduct of members in this
respect has been growing year after year
until it has reached the condition of an
abuse that constantly delays legislation, and
when to this is added the obstructive tactics
of an unruly minority, of either party, to
call the House of Representatives parlia-
mentary body is an objectionable violation
OF the meaning of the word. Until this is
done the scenes of this session will be re-
peated year after year with ever increasing
disorder.
With proper rules the work that has been
finished in the House at this session, huge
as the volume is, might have been done, and
better done, in one-half the tim, that has
been consumed, and vast amount OF work
that ought to have been done got out Of the
way. Contrary to the general expression,
there is not too much legislation. Some
times there is too much of the kind, but
there is always a lack. A thousand things
are left undone that ought to be done, and
somebody, or the public at large, is the suf-
ferer. A myriad of private and just claims
against the Government will go unacted
upon this session because it was necessary
to shove them aside to accomplish fraction
of the work for the general public. No
Congress in long years has been able to say
at the time of its adjournment that its work
was done. Yet all the mass of bills intro
duced in the present Congress might have
been acted upon if the House were operating
under sensible and practical rules.

Changes in the Record-

Another rule which must inevitably be
adopted in the near future, on account Of
the abuse of privileges by members of both
branches. is one forbidding any change in
the sense of speech after it is delivered in
revising it for publication in the pages of
the Record. OF course, verbal changes
should be always admissible. Few of the
members of either branch are Addisons in
their use of the English language. and the
murder OF the mother tongue by extempor-
aneous speakers is sometimes fearful and
wonderful. II is well to allow revisal of
such efforts, but not to change the lanpuape

WHO KNOWS OF IT?

An Extensive Coal Deal in Indiana County
Said to be On.
An exchange says: Six thousand acres of
land in Indiana county, Pa, is about to be
sold by the Elders Ridge and West Leban-
on Coal Company to syndicate of Pittsburg
capitalists. The land lies along Elders
Ridge for a distance OF eight or nine miles.
1t is said to be solid block of coal above
water level. The new field is about three
miles from Salisbury, on the West Penn
road, and is 45 miles from Pittsburg. Coke
ovens are to be erected, and Salisbury ex-
poets to:boom. The names of the buyers are
withheld for the present.

In the Senate, also. there is great need oil

mendable are now made the means of OBJ.
struction. 1t is an old, unwritten law Of
the Senate that there shall be no curtaiI-
ment of the remarks of Senators. 1t be-
came the rule at time when no Senator
abused his privilege by talking for fort
night, everyday on one subject, as Blair did
on his educational bill. In those days the
Senator vino would have spoken for the
purpose of delaying action on any measure
would have been brought into disrepute be-
fore the Senate and the country.
Yet for months of this session the Demo-
Gratis of the Senate talked against time on
the tariff bill to accomplish its defeat and
no one said them nay, simply on account of
that ancient courtesy, handed down from
the DAYS OF courtesy, which forbade any in
terruption of the oratorical desire OF the
Senators. Though the Senate is emineutly
orderly as compared with the House, it, too.
will be compelled, after the experience OF
this session, to adopt rule which will ad-

that Senators may not talk for the sole pur
