SENATOR HARR1s's OPINION.
Fears Sheldon Experiment Will Do
Harm to the Cause of Religion.

Washington ID. c. Post. March 22.1
United States Senator Harris, of Kan
sas, spent a leisure hour or two last
Sunday reading the weeks issues OF the
Topeka Capital, as edited by the Rev.
Mr.. Sheldon.
And my judgment is said the SEN
ator yesterday, that the Capital as
newspaper was stale, fiat, and unprof1t-
able. No one ever made a success"
continued the senator. 'tby going to eX-
tremes. No doubt more care might be
exercised by some newspapers regard
ing the matter they print, but when it
comes to leaving out the timetables of
the railroads, because Mr.. Sheldon be-
Heved the roads ought to be owned by
the government, it is going a step too
far. 1 believe in government ownership
of the railroads, but certainly [ would
be looked upon as very foolish if 1
should propose a law to prevent rail-
road guides from being published.
would not regard it as crime, either,
to publish advertisements of ladies'
goods. Indeed, 1 think there was a
good deal of the sensational in Mr..
Sheldons effort, and that the contro-
versies which have been occasioned will
do the cause of religion more harm than

Offer to Take Care of the Delagoa Bay
Award.

New York, March 23.-George W Van
Sicklen, president of the American
council of the South African republics
and advocate in America for the Trans
vaal, today sent the following official
letter to the Portuguese minister at
Washington:
Dear Sir:-I am in a position to Of

ment of Portugal the sum necessary to
pay the award known as the Delagoa
Bay award which has just been made
by the Geneva arbitration tribunal, say,

tory terms to be arranged"
The offer is regarded as a move on
the part the Beers to offset any offer

THE sTATE IouRNAL In IT.

E. W. Howe. editor of the Atchison
(Kan) Globe, when it was announced
that the Rev. Charles H. Sheldon was
to edit the Topeka Capital for a week
as a Christian newspaper, suggested to
]. K. Hudson, editor of the Topeka
Capital, that he should. in fairness to
the newspapers, occupy Mr.. Sheldon's
pulpit while the latter was editor Of the
Capital.
Mr. Hudson declined to accept the as
signment Then Frank P. MacLennan,
editor and proprietor of the State Jour
nal, invited Mr.. Howe to write lay
sermon for his paper each day of the
Sheldon experiment week, in which the
newspapers as the great moral agency
and the shortcomings of the pulpit
should be treated from an editorial
standpoint.
Mr.. Howe's sermons have been re-
produced each day by the New York
Herald and are exceedingly interesting.
They are made up of pointed, pithy
paragraphs embodying automatic
truths crystalized from human expert
ence, and as such, are well worth read
ing.
Some of the shortcomings of the pull
pit are handled without gloves.

BOSTON MAY LOSE DUFFY.
Rumor Says He Will Manage a Team
in Washington.

Boston, March 23-The baseball fans
are perturbed by a rumor that Captain
Duffy will manage an American league
team in Washington and that there is
some ground for believing it is shown
by his disposing of his bowling alleys.
Others who claim to know say that
the big league will send Duffy to Wash
ington with a team to play in the pro-
posed annex to it, just for the purpose
of keeping that city in line for the big
league so that the McGraw- Robinson
McCarthy-Anson league could not get
in If when arrangements are made
next year, the new American associa-
ton fails to make a show Duffy is to
come back to Boston.
Manager Selee said that if Duffy did
go to Washington he thought the cap
tain would have charge of a team con-
trolled by and subject to the dictates

THE EDITORIAL, STAFF

To the working newspaper man
nothing will be more interesting in this
experiment than the way in which Mr..
Sheldon is prepared to meet the task
of handling news. He has appreciated
the limitations of inexperience and
has been training the staff of the
Capital to his point of view, so that
the technical work Of handling the
news might be taken care of by well
trained men. Harold Chase the man
aging editor of the Capital, who is a
graduate of Harvard, and a well trained
newspaper man. has been absolutely
loyal in making himself and his staff
willing instruments for the carrying out
of Mr.. Sheldon's ideas.

be, will be spent in establishing or pro-
