LAY DELEGATES IN
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
When the agitation for equal minis.
teriai and lay representation in the
General Conference OF the Msthcdist
Episcopal Church was renewed 80
strongly about three years ago, the OPP
ponents of equal representation ia the
General Conference said that it was
only an opening wedge whereby the
laymen wishad 10 force their way into
the annual conferences. This was
strenuously denied by the advocates of
equal representation 10 the General
Conferences. The Rock River Confer
ence, which includes the city of Chi
cage, and In which anything OF radi-
cal nature is liable to happen, accord
ing to Bishop j. M. Walden, blazed
the way for the final triumph of the
laymen at the General Conference of
the church held in Chicago last May.
With the action Of the General Con-
ference in admitting lay delegates to
equal rep esentation with ministers in
that body it was thought that the
matter would be closed, hut the Rock
River Conference has started up
another question, which, according to
conservative members Of the church,
especially of the ministry, comes like
fash of lightning from a clear sly. 1t
is demand on the part of the Rock
River Conference for equal lay and
ministerial representation in the an
nual conferences. At present the lay-
men have no representation in the an
nual conference, and to make it dele
gated body would be quite reyolu-
tionary change. The action Of the
Rock River Conference, however. shows
that there is strong sentiment in
favor of equal reprssen tation in the
annual conferences, and indicates the
change which is going on within
Methodism.
When equal lay representation was
secured in the General Conference 1t
was said 10 some quarters that equal
representation would have to come IN
the annual ones, but IN rebuttal it was
also said that the latter were of such
routine character that laymen would
not care to take the time to attend
them. 1t was especially charged that
laymen in the large cities would not
desire to spare the time, hut here ia
Chicago-that city is the Rock River
Conference, or at least the larger part
of it leading off Ia the new demand.
1t is the next contest among Methodists.

The comfort and con, enience of the
collatless Elton jacket have become too
we'll established to require urging.
Already cool nights have crI ated a de
mand for lightweight wraps and,

stylish garment illustrated ia suited to
taffeta and to cloths of various sorts !;
II is also adapted to both suits and

white, and lined with white satin.
The jacket is designed for wear over
light colored waists, which are SO pre-
served from soil, but combinations can
be varied to suit all tastes and needs.
The backs fit smoothly and may be
scanned or not as preferred. The fitting
is accomplished by single darts, shoulder
seams and under-arm cores, which ex-
tend we'll to the back, and give the
desired tapering effect. The back is
slightly pointed at the neck and rounds
up to form point at the waist, an
effect which greatly adds to the style.
The sleeves are two-seamed and fit
smoothly, the wrists being shaped in
pointed scailops that harmonize with
the back. The finish is the severe
tailor one OF machine stitching, which
is carried in evenly spaced rows to the
depth indicated in the pattern.

Murder Of Chinese by cossaclss.

A correspondent of the London
Standard, writing from Moscow, dis
cusses the question Of the RESPONSE
bility for the recent massacre of
Chinese by Cossacks, in the Amur
region. He says that the Commission
of Inquiry, when it examined Gen.
Gribskiy, received the reply that there
was a misunderstanding of the orders,
and that in any case the blame was
not his. On this he remarks that 5, 900
people cannot be flung into river in
an hour or two, and that the corpses of
the first victims must have been passing
the windows of Gen. Gribskiy's resi-
dencs, which is on the river bank,
long before the slaughter was COM
pleted, but that nothing has been heard
Of any attempt to stop the "misunder-
standing"
1t seems to be certain that during
the whole period of the troubles in
Blagovestchensk, Gen. Gribskiy was in
direct tslegraphio communication with
st. Petersburg. 1t Is believed that he
received orders direct from the capital,
although in the ordinary course of
events he would take them from the
Governor-G General, Gen. Grodekov, who
resides at Khabarovsk. There is a
growing conviction that the orders to
kill emanated from no local authority,
but 'in any case,'' says the cor.
respondent, "Gen. Gribskiy will be
made the scapegoat for this deed,
whether his fault was only that Of
losing his head In trying crisis, and
misleading his chiefs as to the danger
to be unprecedented from the peaceful
Chinese residents OF Blagoyestcbepsk.
or that he acted entirely on his own
initiative" At no time, it is declared.
was there any interruption of the tele.
graphic communication between Bla-
govestchensk and st. Petersburg.

For one thing the citizens in n small
State like Delaware have every orpor-
tunity to know one another. We live
close together and are In immediate
contact with one another in business
transactions and SOCIAL relations. Whea
we come to choose our officials we can
select those we'desire from the men of
our personal acquaintance. Every voter
has an opportunity to know personally
something about the honesty, ability
and public spirit of the candidates
who solicit his support.
1T is a high honor to be chosen for
an important Office under such circum.
stances. Even to be nominated for
such an office as governor by great
political party is an honor, and ap.
preciate the honor done me in this re-
spect by the Democratic party all the
more highly because | was nominated
in open convention by the representa-
tives OF the people. l was not put upon
the ticket as the result Of any dicker-
ing OR dealing by factional or partisan
committees.
"My hone of election lies in direct
appeal for the support OF my fellow
citizens, SO that | shall, if elected, be
free to serve the people. No ambitious
politician eau have any right TO inter
fere with the Jerformance OF my duties
or to dictate my political course, aud
am confident that those who know me
do not need to be assured that / shall
be, if elected governor, unler the do
minion or control of no one man.
THE small size of our State also
puts US under some limitations and re-
strietion. This is particularly the case
as to public expenditures. Our re
sources are not poportonately so great
as those Of larger States and we cannot
afford to be extraVagant. without

OF full State government would be ex-
cessively burdensome upon ur people.

paramount Importance. | hold public

approve the proposition to increase the
present State appropriation for the
public schools. Our schools should fur
nish ample and free opportunity for a
good education to every child in the
State. With Delaware College at their
headsour schools must be made the
equal of those In any other State. We
are as much interested in our State
issues as we are in national issues l
