81 protest has been raised over the
proposition to place a memorial
tablet TO Miss Winnie Davis.
Daughter of the Confederacy, in
Grace Baptist Temple, the big
church with the college attsch-

The matter will be placed before
the congregational meeting on
Monday.
The proposition to place tab

made when the tablet to the ate
President Mckinley was unvei cd.
Several Southern women were in
the city AT the time. and on their
return home they wrote to DIR.
Russell ConweIl. pastor of the
church. asking if they might place
"A small tablet TO the memory of
Miss Davis in the church.
Although Union soldier him.
self and a Grand Army man, DR.
ConweIl thought it An excellent
idea. He conferred with the
Daughters Of the Confedericy
here and they approved the plan.
The upshot of the matter was that
The women took hold Of the matter
and decided. instead of putting in
q small tablet. to raise $500 and put
IN large tablet. DIR. Conwell cut
lined the plan from the pulpit md
asked If there was any OPPOSITE on.
Apparently there was not.
Soon after this letters of Tro-
test began to pour in on DR.. Con-
we'll. They came from all over
the country. Every day they have
increased in number and bit e.
ness until the anti-Davis moveu s','

There are gratifying signs that along
with the quckened activity in the
direction Of bettered work in the public
schools distinct movement is on
foot and steadily gaining headway for
the improvement OF instruction in our
Sunday schools. While the efforts TO
secure the adoption of special made-to-
order lessons on a plea for uniformity
has not met with much success, or at
least. with the success expected by its
promoters, the authorities IN charge of
Sunday school work in the various de-
nominations and throughout the cOun-
try are not only being impressed with
their responsibility, but are also wax
ing up TO the fact that religious edu-
cation OF the young in this country

the child who is intent ON learning
the facts that form the groundwork OF
religious belief is either confused by
misdirected instruction or left to gr0pe
about in the dark because the teacher
has no information TO impart The de,
plorahle feature OF such haphazard
Sunday school work is that it wastes
for the children precious time that can
never be made good.
Whether the Sunday school can be
properly organized and conducted with
the teaching voluntary and unpaid is
a serious question, yet irrespective OF
that, the tendency seems TO be for local
organization along the lines OF the

URGING A LARGER NAVr.

The Maritime association of New
York. through its president, has sent
a letter to members of congress urging
an increase of the navy to double its
present capacity. 1t is argued that our
present navy is largely occupied pre-
serving order in our oversee territory
and that our national development calls
for navy commensurate with our posi-
tion as a world power. 1t is set forth
that the position of the United States
among the powers of the world. taking
into consideration territory, population,
intelligence, industry, resources, COM
merce and wealth, leaves little to be
desired as to greater eminence, but our
existing navy is inadequate TO enable
us to properly maintain the position
into which our rapid advancement has
carried and is still more rapidly car
rying us. Situated as this nation is,"
says the association, with vast sea
coast that is washed by the two great
oceans that float the commerce of the
world, with a foreign commerce second
only to that of one other nation and
peacefully governed and adequately
protected, we find that in ships, in Off
GERS and in men our navy is unequal
to our many and diversified needs.
This condition, is largely due, we be-
lleve, to the lack of naval policy or
program based upon the needs and
equal to the demands that may arise"
This is doubtless in accord with gen.
eral popular feeling. There is no great
opposition to larger navy. No one
who has given the matter intelligent
consideration can doubt the wisdom
and expediency of increasing our sea
power. Some may question whether it
is necessary to go to the extent sug-
gested by the Maritime association and
double the strength of our naval estab-
lishment, but there are few who will
not agree with the statement that it
is not at present adequate for the
proper maintenance of the position to
which the United States has advanced
among the great powers. We should
enter into no rivalry with other nations
in this direction. The only thing we
have to consider is to be well prepared
for the protection Of our interests
everywhere and these are very much
greater than they were a few years
ago and are constantly growing. We
do not require a great navy such as
Great Britain has, but we do need to
be strong enough on the sea to COM
pei the respect of other nations and
to insure observance of our rights in
every portion of the world.

when governments may unite upon
such a plan for having their various

that time. II It shall ever come, is in
the remote future. AS to whether such
a congress would really be promotive

To PROMOTE PEACE.

The American Peace society, which
has its headquarters in Boston. has
asked the Massachusetts legislature to
adopt a resolution requesting congress
to authorize the president 20 invite the
worlds governments to Join in estab-
fishing. in whatever way they may
judge expedient, a regular International
congress, TO meet at stated periods
say every seven years-to deliberate
upon the various questions of common
interest to the nations and TO make
Recommendations thereon to the gov
ernmentS, Ii is pointed out that the
nations are united as never before In
commercial, economic and other rela-
tions, that their material interests are
constantly and rapidly increasing and
that the questions constantly arising
which concern them all so intimately
require their united action for proper
solution. The proposed congress. IL is
suggested, would be the counterpart aud
complement OF The Hague court The
opinion is expressed In the memorial OF
the society that the meeting OF regular
International congresses for the consid-
Grafton OF the various common interests
of the nations would exert a great and

NO GROUND FOR INTERFERENCE.

While the Washington government is
Venezuelan difficulty and is said to re-
gard the bombardment of the San Car
los fort as purely needless and revenge
full, it cannot see any proper excuse for
entering into the quarrel. 1t appears
to be the view of the executive authori-
ties that Wien the government eXer-
cised it's good offices to the extent of
bringing the allies and the Venezuelan
government into negotiations it ex-
hausted it's proper functions in that di
rection and could do no more.
A great many of the American peo-
pie, on the other hand, are Of the
opinion that the United States should
interpose and notify the European
powers plainly and firmly that the ag
gressive course toward Venezuela must
go no farther, that while the blockade
may be maintained in its full effective
ness pending the diplomatic negotia-
tions for submitting the dispute to arbi-
tration, there must be no more bonn
harding of forts or other warlike DEM
onstrations. The opinion is widely
entertained that the course of the al
lies, II not an actual lnfraction of the
Monroe doctrine, virtually ignores that
doctrine, and If longer tolerated by our
government will possibly have the ef-
feet to bring into contempt this vital
American principle. The feeling is
especially strong that Germany is TAX
ing this opportunity TO show her dis
respect for the Monroe doctrine, once
characterized by Bismarck as "a great
piece of impudence" and undoubtedly
so regarded now by some German
statesmen.
That recent events in connection with
the Venezuelan situation are irritating
and that the German explanation is
not satisfactory must be admitted, but
there has been no actual infraction of
the Monroe doctrine and until there is
interference on the part Of the United
Venezuelan naval vessels and lombard
/ ing Venezuelan forts are acts of war,
but the Monroe doctrine does not con-
template the protection of the southern
/ countries against war. 1t only pro
vides for protecting them against seiz-
ure Of territory for permanent Occupa-
ton by foreign power. The United
/ States does not and cannot undertake
TO safeguard the southern republics
from punishment by foreign nations for
offenses that invite hOStilities, because
to do so might involve this country in
endless trouble. The territorial integ-
rity OF those republics and the security
OF their political institutions the Monroe
doctrine guarantees, but nothing more,
Undoubtedly our government has
been given the most complete and sat
isfactory assurance that the allies have
no design upon Venezuelan territory
and we believe there is no good reason
for apprehension on this score. Great
Britain would certainly not invite a
quarrel with the United States by tax
ing territory and il would be the rash
est madness on the part Of Germany
