OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING" MAY 8 1902

this House to the great patriotic plane
on which the founders of the republic
placed it, where every individual mem.
ber on this floor stands upon an equal
and exact plane with every other.
"The way this House was intended
to be run by the mighty men who con-
ceived and fashioned our constitutional
government was that the members OF
the House were to inform the Speaker
what legislation they intended to take
up, not that the Speaker of the House
would inform the members what legis.
lation he would permit them to take
up.
1--WE operate here under a set of
rules confessedly designed to belittle
the hopes and dwarf the ambitions of
the individual members of this body,
while that same set of rules vests more
power in the hands of two or three
men than was ever enjoyed by an
oriental despot or II ten button man.
DARN.
"Here we sit like a lot OF human
midgets and legislative lilliputians
trying to do business under set of
rules especially designed to dwarf the
power and dim the hopes OF the vast
majority OF the members of this body,
while the same set of rules on the
other hand is intended to swell the
power and enlarge the influence of q
few men beyond the point that it was
ever intended that the influence of
any one man should 60 in a free legis-
lative body.
The system is rotten 1t both ends.
1t is rotten at one end because it robs
the individual members in this House
OF the power that the Constitution OF
his country and the credentials of his
people entitle him to; it is rotten at
the other end because it vests power
in other men that they have no right
to, and oft times places on them duties
they have no capacity to fulfill.
"Nero sat on the hilltops and fid-
died while the Eternal City rose in
smoke and sank in ashes; and we are
sitting here to-day idle and uncon.
cerned, while the great power of this
ancient House, and the power and
equality OF its members, is being in
vadsd, belittled, debauched and de-
stroyed. ] for one cannot sit here and
endure it in silence. I must lift my
voice against it, so help me God, if /
speak alone"

Vancouver, B. c., June 3.-In order to con-

New nkruptcy Ruling.

Dubuque Iowa, June 3.-Judge o. P. Shiras,
II the United States court, has handed down
an opinion in a bankruptcy case that estab-
fishes a precedent. He holds that in the
case of William G. Green, of O'Brien county,
the individual creditors and creditors Of the
firm OF William Green & Co. are each to
share the assets. This is new ruling, and
one which is not applicable to section of
the bankruptcy act. This section provides
that in case a man is bankrupt that is a
member of the firm. that the creditors Of the
firm are entitled only to the firms assets,
and the individual creditors are entitled only
to the personal assets.-The Hebrew women

traced back to the days of the ''Nor-
wegian Lutheran conference" which was
dissolved in 1890 by becoming COM
ponent part of the present United Luth-
eran church. In 1893 the free church ele-
ment in the United church represented
by the. old supporters and friends Of Augs-
burg seminary, which BY the terms of the
union of 1892 became the theological
seminary of the United church, began to
show strong signs of disaffection, mas
much as it proceeded to hold separate
meetings as the, Friends of Augsburg"
giving as reason for this irregularity
that the United church, contrary to agree
ment had begun to. tamper with the edu-
cational principles and methods of the
seminary as laid, down, by it's founders,
and that furthermore because of the legal
inability of the trustees to transfer the
seminary property to the United church
according to- agreement, the church. had
withdrawn its support from the school.
From that time ministers and congrega-
tions that sympathized with Augsburg and
the free church PRINCIPLES for which it
stands withdrew from the United church
forming the basis of the Lutheran Free
church. A part of the Free church fol-
lowing yet consists of minorities of con-
gregations and of individuals formerly be
longing to the United church. By later
amicable settlement with the United
church. this body secured the endowment

The sixth annual conference of the
Lutheran Free church will meet to-mor-
row at Audubon, Becker county. This
conference is the annual rallying point of
the working forces of the Lutheran Free
church, where a great number of church
people meet not as delegates from con-:
gregations, but as a. free body with COM
mon Christian interests. 1t follows that
there is no compulsory attendance, each
attendant being actuated alone by his per-
sonal interest in the work in hand. From
the constitution of the conference it is
purely advisory it hears reports from
missionary boards, from the trustees of
Augsburg seminary, the accredited theo-
logical institution, and from benevolent
institutions that it wishes to give this
privilege or in which it is interested; it
recommends, discusses ways and means,
encourages, and seeks in different ways
to renew or awaken Christian impulse and
enthusiasm The suggestions and senti-
ments of the conference are taken up and
acted upon by the different boards dur
ing the subsequent year: It follows that
the power of the conference is purely
moral and that it's acts are binding upon
those only who attend. - 49,.
The Lutheran Free church has been
known by it's present name since 1897,
when ct meeting held in Minneapolis

adopted. AS a free church movement it is
