THE PREVAILING notion among the

when a new Congress is to be chosen.
10 1908 they think there will be less at
stake, and an experimental dive into the
treasury will not be attended with 30
much danger. The republican Sena-
tors were not so timid, as they do not
have to come before the people this
fall for election, for oil but. six OF them
voted for the measure when it came up
10 the Senate and was passed by that
body last Monday. Their boIdness as

Louther, Kansas preacher, who mas

Methodist conference to answer charges

doctor In a recent discourse said there
was no serpent on the scene when the
fall OF man occurred, but that the
creature who brought Gin and death
into the world and all our woe was
nothing more nor less than q specimen
OF the genus homo who "had no con-
seriousness of the Creator" The

of God" he thinks carries out his
theory, from which deductions be cute

Louther's explanations OF some por-
tions OF the first part OF the book oil
Genesis may be as plausible as those
set afoat by others. One OF the great
est scholars and Icommentators on the
Bible who ever lived puzzled over the
story OF Eden for half a century and
fioally concluded the tempter was
parody on mana chimpanzee or
some other specimen Of the simian
creation. While many people doubt

There are all sorts of explanations Of

do this it will be necessary for them,
for a while. at least, to leave their

ing beyond having the compromise
suffrage plan introduced. The oppo.
nents OF the plan succeeded In forcing
an adjournment until today and then
went into an executive conference of
their own, which was quite largely st.
tended.

promise plan u the conference. He
simply stated that IL had been agreed
to by large majority of the two to-
formal conferences representing d..
vergent views, and added that he
would spare the conference the In.
Fiction OF any address on the suffrage
question. MIR. Pollard, a member OF
the subcommit zee that prepared the
plan, said it did not meet with his sp.
proval, but he believed If an agreement
was ever reached In the conference 1t
would have ID be on such basis. The
plan was offered as substitute for the
Glass plan.
At the call of Mr.. Braxton the mem.
bers opposing the compromise met Of
once for conference, and they spent
most OF the afternoon and evening dis
cussing this question.
At the afternoon session q subcom
mittee WAS appointed to report plan
last night. They submitted what is
practically the Meredith plan, and it
was approved, to be offered in the
suffrage conference today as a substi-
tute for the compromise scheme.
