The Protestant Faith, or Salvation
by Belief, is the title of new book
which this week comes to our table
from the publishing house of G. 2.
Putnam's Sons, New York. The
author, Mr.. Dwight Olmstead, makes
an earnest and able plea in this little
book for broader ar more enlighten-
ed religious thought. Mr.. Olmstead
gives to Martin Luther the credit of
opening the gates to certain free
dom in religious thought. The
author holds that Luther, Disguised
with the gross impositions and aban-
doned habits of the priesthood and
not able to reconcile their practices
with their profession took the only
honest course left him and undertook
to interpret the bible froLn his own
point of view, but made the
mistake of teaching that i'm
munity from moral punishment is
secured by some religious belief
Belief according to Mr.. Olmstead is
involuntary and therefore no merit
should be attached to it's possession.
We should do right, not because of
punishmpnt here or hereafter, but be-

Mrs. Oglesby's "Faint.,'

While being taken to the Jail FROM
the court room last evening, when
the jury retired, Mrs. Oglesby sank
onto the walk and appeared to be in
a faint. Her husband told Bailiff
lockwood that he had better go for
the sheriff. Mr.. lockwood was not
to be led into leaving his prisoner,
and the two carried her into the Jail,
where she quickly recovered, The
officials had been previously warned
that she might undertake to faint
sometime while out of doors.
The jury took five ballots, standing.
9 to 3 for conviction in the first.
10 to 2, 10 to 2, II to and II too.

The twenty-ninth day of April is a notable
Church in Syracuse, as it is the anniversary
of the installation of the Rev. Samuel R.
Calthrop, d. D., the eminent divine who so
long has ministered to them spiritually as
pastor of the Church.
DR.. Calthrop was born in England and re-
ceived his preparatory scholastic training at
st. Paul's School, London. Entering Trinity
figure in that brilliant coterie of scholars,
literary men and wits that followed in the
traditions of Macaulay and his associates at
the university. In the middle of the century
he visited Syracuse and received his first i'm
pressions of the young city that nearly a
score of years later he was to choose as his
home and in which his labors have been so
long and effective. The mastery pulpit adj
mentals drawn from the deepest research.
His people have been instructed by him, not
only in things spiritual, but in the elements of
the broadest culture, in literature in art and
in science. His young men have been taught
muscular system of morality. In these and
in many other ways has he endeared himself
to his congregation, which is one of the most
highly cultured and wealthy in the city.
DIR. Calthrop has striking personality.
To the eye he is a most picturesque figure.
His head and face, framed in luxuriant mas
ses of silky, snow white hair and beard, are of
the type of Bryant and Longfellow. Al
though over seventy years old, his rather
spare figure is firm and erect, and every
movement is active and graceful. His whole
life long he has been an ardent admirer and
promoter of athletic sports and even at his
advanced age, plays tennis with all the vigor
and skill of a young man. To Syracusans,
perhaps, this remarkably versatile man is
most widely known, apart from his profession,
as scientist.
On a bright April morning q reporter fol-
lowed the winding driveway that curving
around the hill leads to Calthrop Lodge, an
old-fashoned, red brick mansion, surrounded
by grove of oaks and chestnuts. Wearing
black skull cap and black coat of semi
clerical cut, the master of Calthrop Lodge
graciously received the reporter who called to
inquire about his health, for, though manfully
depressing all possible evidences of his suffer-
ing, DIR. Calthrop for many years has been the
victim of distressing affection, until by for
tunate chance he was led to take the remedy
which has effectually cured him.
During more than half of his pastorate in
Syracuse, DIR. Calthrop has been troubled
with rheumatism, and at intervals he suffered
excruciating agony from it.. At times the pain
was sc great as to prevent him from walking.
Many remedies were tried without success, and
he and his friends had given up hope Of a
permanent cure or of more than temporary
relief when he took the preparation that drove
the disease completely from his system.
In letter written to the editor of The
Eue,sing Neaos, of Syracuse, last year, DIR.
Calthrop told of his affiiction and its cure.
This is DIR. Calthrop's letter

Mexicans will no doubt be much in
terested in the proposed visit of Mr.
Bryan to that country to study the
financial question, if he will only tell
them how through their free coinage
they can bring silver up to parity
with gold and maintain it. When
Mr.. Bryan has solved that problem
for Mexico, he will doubtless find that
the financial problem in this country
will quickly solve itself.

WILL WE'VE Err BE r E
TURNED.

A Washington dispatch says that
new conditions are likely to be con-
fronted in Cuba in the near future. 1t
is not believed that Sagasta's health
will stand the strain Of the vast
burden that is placed upon him, and
which is made still heavier to bear by
the course which his political op-
ponents pursue. When the break
comes, as it is believed it must soon,
his government must fall, and the
conservatives will come into power
again. This will bring in a war party,
it is said, favorable to Weyler, and it
is claimed that in this event either
Weyler will return to take charge OF
affairs in Cuba, or will become min
lister of war, and be in position to
name Gen. Blanco's successor. In
such on event, the situation toward
Cuba would entirely change. The re-
forms held out and advocated by
Sagasta, even though. they might
prove beneficial in the end, if properly
carried cut, would be abandoned and
the policy of Weyler, of butchery
would again take effect, while the
rights of American citizens would be
but little respected. In such a turn
of affairs this country would be OBJ.
liged to take action at once, and there
is little probability that it would
hesitate. A return of a conservative
ministry with Weyler as one of its
chief factors, or even in a position
where his ideas would be carried out
to greater ar less cx'ent, would

HIS PROMISE.
Representative Jameson Finds
II a Stumbling Block.
He May Have to Support L. S. Terry for
Representative--=Gossip About the
Next Legislative Ticket.

As soon as the holidays are over,
next falls campaign in this county
will become fruitful subject of con-
versation. Some little talk has been
INDUCED in already, more especially
as to probable candidates for the leg
islature. There never has been any
lack of timber for representatives
and senator, but on the contrary the
positions have never been numerous
enough to go around. Next fall will
prove no exception in this regard.
Senator Barr will undoubtedly be
candidate to succeed himself in the
senate, while there is a whisper on
the breeze that G. l.. Benedict would
like to serve the people in that ca
pacity. Other names have also been
mentioned, such as W. e. Young, w.
A. Funk and w. N. Plymat. 1t is
generally conceded that this office
will go to the city and the represen-
tatives to the county.
Representative VIM. Jameson,
wife and daughter, Of Rapidan, We're
visitors to the city yesterday. Mr..
Jameson has not yet decided whether
to seek a second term. He would like
to have the endorsement and honor OF
reelection, but there is one great
stumbling block in the way. 1t ap-
pears that two years ago he gave his
word to L. S. Terry, of Garden City,
that inasmuch as the latter withdrew
from the field then, Mr.. Jameson
would step out of the way for Mr..
Terry this year if the latter should
decide to become candidate. Mr..
Terry secured this promise from Mr..
Jameson, and also the promise of the
latter's support. Had Mr.. Terry
been a candidate two years ago, Mr..
Jameson would have stepped out and
supported him. In speaking OF this
agreement yesterday, Mr.. Jameson
said: 81 made the promise to Mr..
Terry and | shall stand by it. If he
is a candidate for representative l
shall not be, but will support him. l
have not heard whether he desires to
run next year, but he told me two
years ago that he thought he should
become a candidate this year. Mr..
Terry is one of our leading citizens,
and one of the strongest men in the
southern part of the county, and
would make an excellent representa-
tive. If he should decide not to be a
candidate, I should like are-election."
Mr.. Jamleson's honorable stand will
win him many friends whether he be-
comes candidate or not.
Nothing has been heard as to Mr..
Terry's intentions. Rumor has it
that Garden City may have another
candidate in the person of Gene
Thompson.
Representative Nels Nyquist was
in the city last week, feeling the
pulse of the community. While he
did not give out anything definitely,
he said enough to lead his friends to
believe that he would seek repomi-
nation. 1t is believed that 81. G. Nc.
Lean would also like denomination,
but it is said that there are Others
in his part of the county.
The question of United States sen
ator will cut considerable figure in
the legislative contest next year.
There is very little talk In regard to
any of the county officers, and nc
names are yet talked of to any extent
aside from the present incumbonts.

WANTS TO SWAP.

The Wilmington Messenger wants to
swap Governors with Tennessee. It
said few days ago:
Captain Billy Day wished from his
boots that every state had just such a
governor as North Cardinals Russell,
who is sui generls, and when he dies
the sample will be gone and none like
him will remain among either COVER
nors or other children OF men. 1t is
announced that North Cardinals aff1ic-
ton Is at the Tennessee centennial or
will be there. AS Governor Bob Tay-
lor, unique, gifted, of another style and
kind altogether, will soon resign, we
rise to inquire if it is not possible some
how to make trade with Tennessee.
Can it not in some marvellous, now I'M
known way, be brought about that
North Carolina can have Governor Bob
and our own precious and very great
governor can be left in his place at
Nashville to try this one-man tsarism
upon the Tenneseans? It may shorten
Russell's days, but it would greatly re-
lieve North Carolina. Out there he
would be afraid not to behave himself,
Orator Bob is a man OF genuine gifts of
many kinds, and is very soulful and ur-
bane. A big boot might he offered
Suppose a subscription is opened,
While North Carolina is very stingy

ument to Vance or some other OF her
illustrious children, her living sons
would subscribe in heep to get rid of

Germany to increase enormously her
army expenditures, and the two coun-
tries have reacted on each other.
When Germany armed, Russia had to
do the same, and when Russia armed
Austria had to follow her example. It
ally, confronted with France on one
side and Austria on the other, exhaust
ed herself in ornaments. In this gen.
eral increase of armies, the navies of
France, Russia, Germany and Italy
were also increased pari passue, so that,

glands naval expenditure is now four
times as great as it was sixty years ago.

by Germany, $47,425, 900 spent France
and 1921, 100000 spent b. the
United States. The necessities of the
military situation have caused nearly
three-fourths of the increase of the run
ming expenses OF EngIandis government
In recent years, and much the same
NAV be said Tor the increase of other
European governments. This cannot
tie said In defense of our increased ex-
penditure. During the last five years
our outgo for pensions alone has exceed
ed the annual payment made by France
or Germany for its army, or by England
for its navy. Our increased expendl-
tnre is not forced on us by circumstan-
ces; it is needless waste. Moreover.
the ratio of increase with us has been
nearly twice as rapid as it has been in
the hard pressed States of Europe.
