warning creeds can refuse, then
to return to the report of the re-
cent English Church Congress
and mark the doings of those or
thodoX theologians with their
woeful possessions Of literary in
experience and talent for alb
struse reasoning. Thus Dr..
Wordsworth, Bishop of Salisbury,
opened the discussion, and the
Rev. Alexander Kirkpatrick, re-
gius professor of Hebrew at Cam
bridge and Canon at Ely, follow
ed, boldly declaring they must
not regard all parts Of the Bible
as equally valuable. The Rev.
Edgar Gibson, prebendary of
Wells and chaplain in ordinary to
the king, compared the bible to
Shakespeare's mythical character
of Macbeth, around which Shakes
peare built up a great human
document. So other writer's
took up certain tabled incidents
and built around them the great
truths which "made religion
what it is. The clergy was
wrong in going on teaching the
bible in the old way. The church
had nothing to fear, but had
much to gain from the new criti-
cism. Sir. A. Short, master at
Harrow, said the cheap press had
rendered it impossible for the
people to read the bible as did
Cromwell's Ironsides. He be-
lieved the majority of school
teachers adopted an uncandid at
titude before their bible classes.

and scientifically incorrect. "
Such treatment of boys merely

later years. The Rev, DR.. King

Is not this an evident admis-
sion that good conditions tend to
make good men? The question
really seems to me Of the highest
ethical Importance, for if good
conditions do not make good men,
what is the use of our local W. G.
r. T., and this later most ex-
excellent proposition of II wo-
mans league for civic reform?
A non-socialistic writer has put
the whole plea for good condit-
ions as u means for individual
improvement in much more pow
erful LANGUAGE than any | could
command as | will quote:
"To remove want and the fear
of want, to give to all classes
leisure and comfort and independ-
ence, the decencies and refine
ments of life, the opportunities
of mental and moral develop
ment, would be like turning
water into n desert. The sterile
waste would clothe itself with
verdure, and the barren places
where life seemed banned would,
ere long, be dappled with the
shade of trees and musical with
the song of birds. Talents, now
hidden, virtues unsupported,
would come forth to make human
life richer, fuller, happier, no.

The three younger boys are students

in range of the trio at noon yesterday
and was promptly fired upon. Nothing

him. he returned the fire and the balls
sped fast and furious. The honOrs
were about evenly divided when the
hour to report for duty arrived and

had been thoroughly aroused and issued
the challenge that he would meet the
three at any time and al any place

ARE MAKING GAINS PARDON FOR, HOWELL
Artillery Lieutenant at Fort
Douglas to Be Restored to
Duty by the President.

Unofficial reports have been received
from Washington of the action Of
President Roosevelt in restoring lieu
tenant J. P. Howell to good standing
in the army after a season of technical
Imprisonment at Fort Douglas. Lieu
tenant Howell is an artillery officer
and came back from the Philippines
with the Twelfth battery. a prisoner, in
the nominal sense at least. as d conse-
quence of a Bacchanalian Tevel that
has ever since been referred to as one
Of the seven wonders of the military
world.
During his stay at the fort the officer
has been under the constraint Of hav-
ing TO ask the commanding officer for
permission to leave the post. Neverthe-
less he has been a frequent visitor TO
the city and has managed to enjoy life
fairly well. Private soldiers suffering
a season in the guard house for various
OffenSes have peered through the graf
ed bars and rejoiced that fellow prls-
oner could enjoy the usual pleasures
Of lie. They have also INDUCED in obi
Gus comparisons. while battery men
who served under the lieutenant and
have no ultra love for him have taken
advantage Of the situation 10 refuse

the broad walks "a the 2ort.

Lieutenant HowelTs offense was
unique in military annals. While in
charge of battery guarding a strategic
point near Manila he is alleged 10 have

was found impossible for the horses

trees, the buglers sounded retreat and
the Lieutenant and his command picked
their way back to their position.
Howell was arrested and when the
bruised and battered troopers were able
TO leave the hospital they appeared
against him and told the tale. What
became of the horses that were done
Up by the expedition never became

Six Restaurant ProprietOrS Sign
Contract Submitted by Cooks
and Walters Union.

From the present status of affairs be-
tween the restaurant men and the
Cooks and Walters union, as reported
last night at d joint meeting of the
union and the arbitration committee,
it looks as if the union men will win
their fight and compel the restaurant
men to sign the contract that caused so
much trouble. The report was made
that six proprietors mad signed the re-
vised contract and that two more
would probably do so today. This report
put the cooks and walters in a jubi-
liant state of mind and they feel conf
dent of forcing the remainder of the
restaurants to come to terms within
the next week.
The arbitration committee, acting
upon the theory that quiet strategy is
more effective than stormy warfare
has been quietly at work among the
restaurant men presenting the revised
contract TO them and explaining that
the union did not expect to spring a
new wage scale upon them for several
months yet at least. As a result six
proprietors signed the contract and

opinion yesterday affirming the jUdg
ment of the lower court in the case Of

that the record is fatally defective in
that it does not set forth that mo-

the grounds upon which the motion
would be or was made. This, the court
adds. leaves nothing to consider but
the judgment roll, which states certain
