FRIDAY, DECEMBER II, 1903.
is JEFF CRAWFISHING?

The Memphis and Little Rock news
papers have printed stories to the effect
that the information comes from Gov.
Davis friends that he Will ca.l an eX-
ira session OF the legislature, as soOn
as the Democratic primaries are over
in March, for the purpose of providing
for the maintenance of the deafmutc
institute.
AS soon as the supreme court had
rendered decision ON one of the
bills which had been left over by the
last legislature, which in effect de-
elared the deaf-mute appropriation bill
and {, number of others invalid strong
pressure was brought to bear OH the
governor in order to induce him 10
call an extra session of the legislature
for the purpose of providing for the
maintenance OF the deaf mute institute,
but he refused to issue the call and
stated that q certain citizen of the
state had agreed t. loan him $llo,o0o
With WHICH 10 Hldluldlll tllc lllSlllttN.
The name of this man has never been
made public, and it also appears thai
tho man failed 10 come forward with
the $14o,000. The charitable board
then took the question UP and decided
to secure popular loans. Secretary
Page says the governor has the list Of
those who have made these loans. bat
this list has also been kept fradm the
public. and it is not known what
amount was secured in this manner.
1t was stated that the teachers in
the deat-mute institute would be re
uured to wait until the legislature re
convened for half of their salaries,
which most of them agreed to do Five
of the teachers recently resigned, and
matters don't seem to be running alto
gether lovely at all.
Gov. Davis has said at various times
and places since the gubernatc cTial
campaign opened that he would not
call that gang of ducks back" mean
ing the legislature. He will say any
thing which he thinks will win a
vote His proposal to keep the deaf
no other purpose than t, provide thun-
mute institute going without an appro-
priation for two years, and his con
stant abuse of the legislature We're for
der for his campaign for a third term
but it seems he is going to fail il
carrying his plans through until the
campaign is over, and that he will,
at least, have to call the legislature to-
gether Immediately after the primaries
Notwithstanding his boast that he
would never call that gang of ducks
back
Is ii possible that the governor is
crawfishing?

TRIAL FOR HERESY.

The country is 10 be treated to an
other heresy trial. Professor Browne
Of the Bost4m university is accused of
views not in harmony with The old eEeed
Of the Methodist denomination. We'll,
what of it? Is not the question, rath
er, Is his view Cbristia If he is
hcnest and can c0nscientiOuSly remain
in the Methodist communion while
holding his view, does nst that simple
fact raise presumption that it is
worth while to consider his view rather
than his orthodoxy by any fixed stan
dard?
Churches should not forget that the
world at large has come to look upon
public trials for heresy with kind OF
times due to selfishness-that is. there
pect the advertising element at once.
If the churches say it is none Of this
worlds business the blunt reply will
be then do your laundry Wolk in prl-
vate.' Certainly the private inves1-

ments Of new books. because they go

large sales of certain novel and
therefore praise IL eXtravagantly, these
literary reflexes go into ecstacics over
the same work, but they are as ready

II his last book fails to meet general
favor with the tickle public. These
poorly endowed, conforming persons,
too, are the self-appointed Receivers
of social and moral bankruptcies; they
take in unrefectiyely what Is largely
circulated gossip. passing it from hand
to hand without the reason one does
bucket OF water at a fire; they shake
their heads over the downfall" of a
previously exalted parsonage, and so
become sycophants in the presence OF
what they call Public opinion. They
are the people who could no more eX-
press disapproval of a book or of a
person that is generally approved no
matter how wrongly, than they could
