itics there can be no doubt. The cases of
Judge Rasch i'm Evansville, and of the
judge in Sullivan county who is standing
by ex-Sheriff Dudley are in point. Other
cases could be cited. Yet revolutions do
not often go backward. and Ii is not likely
there will be a return to the appointive
system in this State until matters get so
much worse to call for radical remedy.
Senator Dausman's resolution would omit
the clause of the Constitution which pro-
vides that the Supreme Court shall consist
Of not more than five judges. because he
thinks it would be advisable to increase
the number of Supreme judges and thereby
dispense with the Appellate Court. He
would also omit the provision which re-
quires Supreme judges to be nominated
and elected from geographical districts.
This provision imposes a restriction on
the selection of Supreme judges which
does not exist in States where the Governor
appoints. and where he is at liberty to
select the best and fittest lawyers, regard
less of district or locality. Senator Daus-
mans resolution would also reform and
simplify the Circuit Court system. and
make other important changes. If some
OF the proposed changes are impracticable
in the present state of public opinion.
others may be found meritorious and de
sirable. 1t is unreasonable to suppose that
a judicial system adopted more than fifty
years ago has not been demonstrated by
experience to be capable of improvement. =

sermon at Meridian-strcet Church.

sermon at Merfdian-strcet Church.
The Rev. Joshua Stansfeld preached at
the Meridian-street NJ L. Church yester-
day morning on THE Divineness OF Our
Lord" His text was Hebrew, viii. S:
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to-day
and forever" In part he said:
1T is within the past three decades that
the cry has been so insistent, Back TO
Christ; that is, back beyond the theological
and creed conceptions of His person and
life; back TO the earliest records-the gos-
pels. In pursuance of this, IL is within
only attempted lives OF Jesus in all the
churches history: that is, with the excep-
ton of apostolic times. AS these lives
have appeared from the pens OF both
friends and enemies of our Christianity.
the disparity between the Christ OF the
gospels and the Christ OF church history
has become more and more marked.
1T is noticeable that the general trend OF
these lives of our Lord has been toward
the distinct, though unique, human per-
sonality: and yet the strongest and best
OF them have found that He was super
human, not contrahuman; that is, He
transcended but did not contradict human
life. The life was q divinely human, god
like life. transcending the human as we
ourselves know it, yet the very standard
and ideal Of human life to which as Chris
tians we must aspire. He was sinless. (.
He achieved holiness: He was godiike, but
He was imitable. The first-born OF new
creation, the second Adam. not of the
man that is, but of the man that is TO be.
His divineness, then, consists in some
thing which makes Him not less human
but more human, than sin-touched men.
and that divineness is also a doctrinal fact
and truth OF infinite worth to our race.

The opinion prevails in Washington that
Senator Kearns has increased Apostle
Shoots chances OF election to the Senate
BY stating that the President was opposed
TO him. State Legislatures are very sensi-
tive to executive dictation in such mat
ters and are apt to resent it. 1t is said by
the Presidents friends that whatever he
said on the subject was a mere expression
OF personal opinion TO the unwisdom of
eIecting a polygamist and that he had no
idea OF interfering in the matter or of
having his remark repeated.

something that would be superior to

result Of the investigation is a very

liquid mixture hitherto has given the
