The Louisville merchants have
decided that the drawer of a bank
check is the only person who can
legally stamp it, according to the
statutes; and that if any country
merchant or individual sends them
an unsIamred check, instead of
stamping it themselves and present.
ing it at bank for payment, they
must return it to the drawer TO be
stamped. We do not put so techni-
cal and strained construction upon
the law, and we are willing to back
our judgment against the whole of
Louisville. About one third-that is
about one thOusand-of our subscri-
bers owe us various, diverse and
sundry sums for back subscription,
and we cordially invite and earnest
ly request them Cor you, as perad-
venture it may be- to mail us un-
stamped checks to the full extent of
this large and lovely delinquent list.
There is nothing short about us; we
will furnish he stamps and do the
licking at this end of the line.

THE PUBLISHING HOUSE CLAIM.
The Christian Advocate says:


"Neither the Book Committee nor
the Book Agents, acting for the Church,
have anything to conceal. Investiga-
ton is courted, and, from present indi-
cations, investigation will follow. I'm
til tie matter is thoroughly presented,
and ali interested parties are heard,
justice and charity demand that good
men suspend their judgment. Until all
the facts are known, let us be patient"
If they have nothing to conceal,
why are they concealing it? Why
is an investigation cOurted?'
Why not unravel the mystery by
telling the truth, promptly and pub
licly? If the interested parties"
desire to be heard, why don't they
talk louder? We are all listening.
Or why don't their official organ
talk for them? Are not the facts al
ready known? Don't the Book Com
mittee and the Book Agents know
the facts? And does not "justice
and charity demand" that these
facts be published, that the afore-
said Book Committee and Book
Agents, who have nothing to con-
ceal, may stand acquitted before the
public?
The fact is, the great body of
Methodists in every nook and crag
and corner of this southland; who
dearly love their Church and are
jealous of its good name, have a
right to know all the facts of this
distressing case, and their Book
Committee nor their official organ,
have any right to withhold them
from them.
The Church of course is in no
sense to blame. But the Church
has right to know what its agents
have done and are doing, that they
may be disciplined accordingly.
We sincerely hope that the Book
Committee and Book Agents have
nothing to conceal. But their
silence, to say the least, is SUSPECT
Gus, and the longer they maintain
it the worse it looks.

SENATOR TURLEY made a strong
point in favor of war tax on railroad
property, in his recent speech on the
revenue bill, when he read from a
table of statistics showing that the
railroads own between IA and 10 per
cent of the property of this country,
but pay only or per cent of the
taxes.

THESE are the words the Louis
Vile Courier Journal puts into the
mouth of VIM. Mckinley: "The
starving people of Cuba should not
despair. We went to war to relieve
them, and we will do it yet, as soon
as we can feel absolutely sure that
there are no Spanish ships in the
Atlantic, and that we shall not get
a wetting from the rainy season. ="

THE banks will pay considerable
towards the war revenue. Banks
with capital of 5000 and under, in
addition to the tax they already pay,
are taxed $50; and for every thou
sand over twenty-five, they are
taxed two dollars extra. When you
figure on these large city banks,
with capital stock running up into
the millions, this extra tax will
amount to quite sum. But it won't
bankrupt them by any means.

WHEN a criminal is arrested and
accused of burglary, robbery or OBJ
tanning money under false preten-
ses, he makes general denial, then
valves examination and says,
"prove it if you can" When an
honest man is accused of a crime,
consciously innocent of any wrong
doing and jealous of his good name,
he gives vent to his indignation by
promptly and loudly proclaiming
where he was, what he was doing,
and all the details he may happen
to know of the case. Imagine the
surprise of the public, therefore,
when the Book Committees of tue
Methodist Church, South, waves
examination for their agents,
Messrs. Barbee & Smith, and asks
the public to withhold judgment un-
til they have either been convicted
or whitewashed or, peradventure,
acquitted by the Senate Committee.
AS if they were afraid to show their
hand until the other side had shown
theirs. AS if they were playing a
game of sharp practice, and would
not tell what they knew until they
had to. 1t is astounding and be-
yond all comprehension that such
things can be, and all lovers OF
Methodism should pray that their
Church-second to none in the world
should be saved from the errors oil
its agents and the Vaccinations Cd
its lobbyists.
