Make the Scriptures Better Read.
New YORK, Feb. 4.-[Spocial. 1.-The
last of the course of Sunday evening lee
lures at the Presbyterian church of the
Covenant, which began last tall, was de-
livered tonight by Prof Charles
Briggs, his subject being ''The
Bible and the Higher Criticism.
Dr. Briggs said it was necessary to know
whether the Bible is the word of God.
This could not be taken on the authority of
the church alone, for the church has made
so many errors in the past that
il is necessary to see whether the
church is in error about the
Bible This. the speaker said, could onlv
be accomplished by criticism. The criti-
cism OF the literature of the Scriptures is
called the higher criticism to distinguish it
from simple teStual criticism. A number

Government Clerks Find Them.
selves DISTINGUISHED.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-A serious question
will present itself to the election CONF
missioners as result of today's regis
tration. 1t is whether government
clerks who have been in Washington
can vote in the precincts in which they
have been living. A large number of
these presented themselves at the polls
for registration today. Some were
refused, and those who accepted
were told that their names would
be followed OH the book with mark in
dicating that they were not qualified
voters This treatment brought nearly
a hundred clerks to the commissioner
office during the day to demand an eX-
planatiOn. Those who were not regis
tered were advised to go back and have
their names entered. The law clearly
says that the clerk shall register all ap-
plicants. The question of voting re-
mains to be decided when the names in
dicated as those of qualified voters
comes before the board of election COM
miSsionerS.
Chief Clerk Taylor, who was in the
office when the federal employees called
TO learn what decision would be made,
said he could find no law allowing per-
sons TO vote where they did not live.
The applicants claim federal law in
their support. During the day Mr..
Taylor sent to United States District
Attorney MilchrIst for an opinion on
the question. Mr.. Milchrist replied
that he appreciated the dilemma of the
commissioners. He thought OH first
consideration that the Washingto ton en-
ployes had right to vote somewhere,
but he could not construe any federal
statute to interfere with state laws.
