DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
1t VIII Probably Be Moved Into til,
Old COrcoran Art Gallery.

1t is considered highly probable that At
torney General Griggs will rent the old
Corcoran Art Gallery building to which to
move the Department of Justice. The
space of the building is now being taken
by an architect from the office of the super
vising architect of the treasury. The At
torney General is disposed to rent this
building If his department can be accom-
modated there He is willing to rent it if
the most of the department can be accom-
nodated in the building. If it is necessary,
the accounting division of the department
VIII be placed in another building. This is
not as closely connected with the work of
the department as other divisions, and
could be placed in nearby building.

three days fight such high spirits in the
troops count for quite as much as adequate
materials and stores
The silence of the reports as to the move
ments today caused no apprehension. 1t
was construed to mean that the operations
of yesterday were proceeding today, with
out material change. Maj. Simpson was in
clined to believe that after the three days
steady fighting there would be a lull while
our forces rested. But as rests benefit both
sides, giving the enemy an opportunity to
repair and fortify, there is little idea that
MacArthur's advance will be delayed mary
hours.
Gen. Greedy received a dispatch from Ma
Mia this morning, and the fact that it did
not mention any change in the military sit
uation was accepted as showing that no
material change had occurred.
The Twenty-Third Relieved.

continuously since the trouble in the Phil

Word Is anxiously awaited as to the ar

Attorney General Griggs is right in
saying that the Philippine question is. not
one of party politics but OF national duty.
And without regard to partisan politics
the endeavor should be to find out what
is our naional duty and the
best way of doing 1t. Less fiourishing of
epithets and more calm and deliberate dis
cussion would conduce to both OF these
ends. All the imperialist shouting.of
traitor has not served to suppress opposi-
tion to their policy and 1t never will
Such shouting is but confession Of
weakness, confession that their case can
be better maintained by abuse than by
argument and that is always sympto-
matte of bad case. The most ffective
weapon to support any policy with is
proof that 1t is good one, and that is
always used when it is available.

Rev. O. ". Gilmore, till this year pro-
lessor Of Biblical history and Introduction
in Bangor Theological Seminary, has
become a teacher in the Unitarian Tbeo-
logical School, Meanwhile. Pa. He Is q
graduate Of Princeton University and OF
Union Theological Seminary. He came
to Bangor as Presby terrain, and was re-
ceivsd into the Penobsoot Association
abuot four years ago. We find in the
Portland Press a report of the Maine
where his case was discussed Rev. s.
G. Beach, pastor OF a Unitarian church
In Bangor, explained that Professor Gil
more had not changed his views; that
when he was Installed into hissprofesaor-
ship at Bangor he assented to the creed
Of the seminary. but his inaugural adj
dress was inHastonishing divergence from
that creed. When asked how he recon-
oiled his address with the creed he replied
that 1T could not be reconciled. Mr..
Beach said TINT Professor kGiimore is a
conscientious man and one who will
suffer for the faith. but one to whom,
perhaps, a creed did not present the same
obstacles it might to Others" This state
ment suggests to us the remark OF the
sanctimonious darkey, who said he had
broken all the Ten Commandments, but
had never lost his religion. We do not
think Professor Gilmore will thank his
friend for this explanation of his moon
sistent position. But II his views have
not changed he ought neverssto have been
in Bangor Seminary, or he ought not
now to be in the Unitarian Seminary.
From what we have heard of his teach.
ing we judge that his views have not
changed. II that Is true, are,not the trus-
tees responsible for having retained him
for six years as a teacher of candidates
for the Congregational mini stryf And is
this factor in explaining why Bangor
