IN THREE YEARS.

1t is said the programme now in Wash
ington is to turn Cuba over to her own
people on February 18th. the third anniver-
sary of the sinking of the Maine" We
hope that will be done for it then will be
appropriate for our government to point
to Cuba and say to the world: Take an
object lesson for your own good. Three
years ago one of our great ships was sunk
in Havana harbor and it carried down with
1t 2e6 splendid American lives. Following
the habits of the world. we might have
taken the island by conquest, held 1t and
demanded and collected an indemnity out
of all proportion to the loss of the ship,
though no indemnity could be satisfac-
ton for the brave souls that went down
with the ship.
LAS it was we proceeded to break Spain's
arm in Cuba. Then we proceeded to feed
Cuba's starving people: to build asylums
for her orphan children; to drive away the
epidemic by sanitation; to establish about
1900 schools. wherein young Cuba Is hav-
ing turned to him and her the first leaves
of the book of knowledge. This we have
done in three years. We turn the island
back to it's own people, asking nothing for
our work. hoping for nothing except that
our work will be appreciated and that wis
dom may be given the people OF that
!, island to make good use of the mighty
gift which has been extended to them. All
the annals of the world will be searched
in vain to find a parallel and we give the
world notice that when we call upon 1t to
make this object lesson 1t Will the
more swiftly believe that we have no sim
lister thought toward any race or people.
and that our dream is that the light Of
this republic will extend and increase until
all nations may be as free as our nation
and as prosperous and as merciful, for we
claim that there Is something in the work
ings of free government that touches the
hearts of men and makes them gentler.

WHERE the RIGHT OF PERSUASION CEASES

In New England the lower courts are
adopting the doctrine OF the federal
courts respecting the question of inter-
ference with the right to labor. The
distinction drawn is a very fine one.
Recently in the case OF the American
Tool and Machine company VS.. the Ma
chinists' Union, Judge Sullivan, as mas
ter, filed in the superior court report
finding it virtually lawful to use moral
suasion to prevent persons from apply
ing to the plaintiff for work, but UNI
lawful to persuade persons working Cor
the plaintiff to quit work. or to persuade
those engaged to work from keeping
such engagement.
Under this definition of the rights of
all concerned the court issued an in
junction enjoining those men guilty Of
unlawful acts from continuing the same.
The distinction made by Judge sul;i-
van Is similar to the one less succinctly
stated by Judge Manford. federal Judge
of Washington. in the case of the strike
at the Ncrthport smelter. In the latter
instance men who were brought to the
scene of the strike from remote dis
tances, under contract for service, We're
persuaded by the strikers to disregard
their contracts and refuse to work.
Judge Hanford enjoined the men from
persuading the new arrivals to keep
their agreements, and the United States
marshal repaired to the scene and en-
forced the order.
The effect of this line of decisions. if
maintained. will be to affirm the sanctity
of individual contract, and to make the
person or persons responsible for their
violation, by persuasion as well as by
force, liable to punishment. The right
of interference by persuasion is confined
to workmen who are not in fact work.
ing, Or who have not engaged them
selves to work.

A RIVAL OF DOVES CHURCH.

While Dowie is posing in Chicago as
Elijah, a new church has risen there
to discomfit and rout him. 1t is known
as the church of man. born of manology
as distinguished from theology. Its pas
tor, DR.. J. Barr says ut stands for the
uplifting and glorification OF man, not
God" The constitution and discipline
of the Church of Man will be published
soon. In part it is as follows:
1.-THE object of this church is to-
preach, teach and practice the gospel of
rnanology, instead of theology. Manology
stands for all the interests of man. All
men and women are cordially invited 70
become members and work for the uplift-
ing and betterment of humanity. The
creed OF the church contains but one word.
Justice lis word contains all the prin-
ciples and morals in the golden rule
Justice can be appealed to for the proper
regulation of the human family.
The constitution provides for a govern
ing board of five directors to each congre-
CATION; one director to be minister, two
to be cardinals, one to be a bishop and one
to be an elder: all to be elected annually.
ANY person who believes in persnal or
supernatural God is barred from holding
office in the board Of the church." says
section 1, which also provides that II any
member of the board of the church shall
manifest a belief of personal or super
naturalGod, that member shall forfeit his
position on the board. but not his menu
bership in the church.
Persons of all beliefs will be admitted
to membership and fellowship in the con-
gregation. with the hope that they may
be educated out Of Godology. which is the
God idea originated early times Of

that month another fall occurred which

The spring, when 1t came in reality, was
so short and severe that no vegetation

other parts of the country brought I'M

the spring of 1917 farmers were obliged to
provide themselves with corn grown in 1915.
All breadstuffs went up. and -four a year
afterward sold at ST. barrel.
AS matter of fact there was no sum-
mer in the vicinity of Danville in 1916 and
the files of the Danville News for that
period prove that the weather expert in
those days attributed the extraordinary
meteorological conditions to spots on the
sun. just as they are doing now.
The winters preceding and following the
severe summer were intensely cold, and,
as the people in those days knew none of

of necessity have been intense.
The public health was never better. There
were the usual cuttings and log-raisings
everywhere. Although the crops were a
failure. the spirits of the people never
dropped. and their confidence in Illinois as a
corn producer never weakened. The sturdy
pioneers and first settlers went about their
business, Just usual.

Historian Maclay is a case of inherited

of William Maclay, distinguished in
American memoirs Of the revolutionary
period. as sour, caustic and unjust
critic of friends and acquaintance, rs

The Philadelphia Times. which reviews
the character Of Maclay's testy ancestor
at length, says "he called men wretches,
rascals and villains without any COM
