A Blow to the Bellamy Idea.

The Bellamy idea has received a
severe blow from the Massachu setts
supreme court, which has just given
an opinion TO the legislature as to the
constitutionality of the municipal coal
yard bill, a measure proposed by the
nationalists of Boston.
Five of the seven justices agree that
it is not part of the municipality
duty to engage in the coal trade They
say:
We are not aware of any necessity
why cities and towns should undertake
this form of business any more than
many others which have always been
conducted by private enterprise, and we
are not called upon to consider that
extraordinary powers of the common
| wealth may exercise or authorize cities
| and towns to exercise in extraordinary
exigencies for the safety of the state or
or the welfare of the inhabitants.
Ii there be any advantage to the in
| habitants in buying and selling wood
for fuel at the risk of the community
on a large scale and on what has been
called the cooperative plan, we are of
the opinion that the constitution does
not contemplate this as one of the ends
for which the government was estab-
lished or as a public service for which
cities and towns may be authorized to
tax their inhabitants.
But one of the dissenting judges is
more sympathetic with the Bellamyites.
81 am of the opinion" he says, ''that
body to offer to the public, without
discrimination, an article of general
necessity, the purpose is no less public
when that article is wood or coal than
when it is water or gas or electricity or
education, to say nothing of cases like
the support of paupers or the taking of
land for railroads or public markets.
The measure was fondly regarded as
the entering wedge of socialism, and
the cruel extortions OF the coal trust
were cited by its proponents as its JUS
tificatiOn. 1t was argued that with
coal under municipal control, as gas
and water now are in many cities, its
price would remain ut level and con-
5u mers, as a result, would happily es-
cape the tyrannOus exactions which
the coal barons levy with every fall Of
temperature.
This '.thin edge of the wedge" has
failed to penetrate as it was designed
to do. 1t has been badly blunted by
what must be regarded as a wise judi
cial decision and it will probably be
now abandoned for more hopeful =
instrument.
The tendency of legislation, national
and state, in recent years has been too
socialistic. 1t has needed
check and it has received it at the
hands bf one of the ablest courts in the
United States.-Jc6ersom city Tribune.

The Assembly and the Bible.

The Presbyterian General Assembly,
at its session at Portland last week.
after proclaiming what one of the mem
bers described as boycott against the
most conspicuous institution Of learn
ing connected with the denomination.
thought well to adopt this declaration:
Our church hold that the inspired
word as it came from God is without
error" The resolution continues that
1.-The VOW of ordination recoffnizes that
the Bible is the only infallible rule of
faith and practice" and it is recon-
mended that those who hold any other
view than this should cease to be min
listers of the Presbyterian Church.
It is not probable that any one will
dispute the fundamental statement here
! set forth, that 1.-The inspired word as it
came from God is without error" But
what is the inspired word, and in what
form did it come from God? These
are the very questions that the schol-
ars OF the Union Theological Seminary
are trying to answer, and it is partly
for this effort that the General Assem-
bly, has put them under the ban.
1t will hardly be pretended that the
English Bible as translated and set
forth by learned divines in the reign OF
King James l., excellent as their YER
sion is, presents the inspired word pre-
cisely s.as it came from God" We
know, as a matter of fact, not only
that they made many mistakes in trans
latiOn, but that their facilities for de-
termining the most authentic readings
among many varying versions Of the
Greek and Hebrew texts that had come
down to them. were but limited when
compared with those OF the present
day. And where did they get these
texts? By transmission through all
sorts of human agencies for many cen
turies. The determination of the He
brew canon was involved in long OBJ |
scurity, SO that probably few members
of the General Assembly could relate |
its history accurately. and the Christ |
ian church had existed for three CEN
turies before there was any authOrita-
tive definition of what should constitute |
the scriptures of the New Testament.
Even then there was not entire agree
ment, and there are books and parts of
books received as of authority in some /
branches of the church that the Pres
byterians to-day reject.
It must be remembered that the very
oldest existing manuscripts of any part
Of either the Old or New Testament
date far down in our era, and that these
are copies of copies, extending back
with all the liability to
error that human agency involves.
There are some of the Old Testament
books in which it is evident from the
Greek translation that the later Hebrew
text varies materially from the earlier.
and there are other instances in which
readings 70 both Greek and Hebrew
Scriptures that were long accepted are
found to be unquestionably modern.
To those whose faith is grounded in
rhristian institutions and who accept
.he Bible, upon the general authority
Of historical tradition, as one instru- (
nents or means of grace entrusted to
he church for the editication of its
members, these critical problems are
matters of high literary interest, but
lot of religious anxiety. The scholars

The result was that some spent all their
money and are now left with only their
reservations as home, depending upon
the Government for most OF their living.
The amount paid out in gratuities is
about $500, 10000 per annum But
seeing that the Government got vastly
more than it gave value for, it may be
easy for just persons to feel that the
5000, 900. 90 is not altogether gratuity
The present Indian Bureau with its
large corps OF Office employees, agents;
etc, has been the growth of many
years. In the early years of the Gov
ernment, all important laws relating TO
Indian affairs were temporary in char
acter and expired by Limitation.
The Office Of Superintendent of Indian
Trade was established in 1906 for the
term OF three years, which term was
extended from time to time until 1922,
when it was permitted to expire. This
Office, as the title indicated, looked
rather to establishing trading, or COM
mercial relations, with the Indians,
than to exercising control over their
internal affairs. But as the country
advanced in settlement, it was seen
that closer and more authoritative
connection was demanded: so two
years after the expiration of the office
OF Superintendent OF Indian Trade, in
1924, the Secretary of War organized
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, but it was
not until 1882 that the Office of Com
missioner OF Indian Affairs was created
by act of Congress, and the present
Bureau organized. In 1S49 the De-
parment Of the Interior was established
and the Indian Bureau transferred
thereto. Under the supervisory and
appellate power of the Secretary of the
Interior, the Commissioner is charged
with the duty of directing and manag
ing all In 1ian Affairs and all matters
arising out of Indian Relations.
The present Commissioner is an able
and honest official and Indian Affairs
under his administration are in splen-
did condition. 4 great amount of the
outcry against Indian agents is made
by persons who are not cognizant of
facts.
There are 5S Indian agents, five spec
la agents, and five inspectors, scatter
ed throughout the Union from New
7 YorI to California and from Minnesota
to Florida, the majority being in the
West.
The government is now urging the
plan Of alloting land in severalty to
Ihe Indians and making them citizens,
As fast as possible.
To this end the policy of the present
Indian Commissioner is directed and If
40 unforeseen obstacles present them
selves, it is hoped that in 15 or 20
years more the Indians as Il whole may
have become an integrate part Of our
with fuA rights of citizen
hip. depending each upon his individ |
iaI efforts for his success in life, and |
he Office of Indian Affairs be no more.
t Is d consummation to be wished. | |
lave not space to enter into any ex-
ended account of the school system as
conducted by the Government for the
indian youth. Suffice it to say that
here is an admirable school machinery
md that through its influence thous-
.nds OF Indian girls and boys are being
brought into the light and happiness of
of books. ID.

ONE of the best features of our charm
ing little town is the liberality of the
different religious denominations. A
union service is held every Sunday
evening, addressed by each minister in
rotation. The coming thus together of
the different branches of the Lords
vineyard is productive of much good,
obliterating UNCONVENTIONAL lines and
making all feel the universal father
hood of God. We regret to say, how
ever, that there are a few who would
like to see this beautiful and Christ
like custom done away with. Without
knowing who they are, we must say
they cannot have much of the spirit Of
the Blessed Master dwelling in their
hearts. Jesus said, "There shall be one
fold and one shepherd" Paul wrote,
''Be like minded one toward another
according to Jesus Christ, that ye may
with one mind and one mouth glorify
God, ever the father of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
