WHO SHALL pEcIpEP

One George B. Penny, music teacher In a Kansas college, has declared war on modern church music and issues this notice:
 The course in 11ymnology is founded upon the German Choral, the English hymns, and the best only of American compromising in it's denunciation of all so-called religious music which Is un- churchly, unchristian and wholly inar- tistic.
 While it may be possible that Professor Penny is to some extent hypercritical, or it may be pharisaical, it must be admitted that there is ground for criticism of some of the times now adopted to religious words. The question is, who is to de- eide? and where Is the line to be drawn! Some of the most beautiful and absorbing tunes played or sung in our churches have a Hitting, stirring measure which might appropriately be used in foray, a circus or a dance hall. The rag-time tune heard on the vaudeville stage might be fitted to words of genuine religious significance and appropriateness. If that Is done does harm come from 1t?
 We seem to remember that some promi- nent divine, speaking on this subject, de- clared that he was not willing for the devil to have all the good tunes In other words. he took the position that Ehere could be no injury to religion or to religious worship if some of the hymns should be fitted to some of the tunes used an music rooms, theatres or dance halls. emay have been too liberal and tolerant In his views, but admitting that he was, we get back to the question: Who shall draw the line? Who is to determine when . tune ceases to be fitted for church use and becomes the proper thing for frivol- ous amusements?
 It is not merely a question of where the line of demarkation is to be drawn, but only have we drawn away from the stern eolemnity of the old Puritans, but if is . fact that there is quite a difference observable in the churches of different denominations. If each denomination is to decide for itself what is to be con- Efdered 'unchurchly, unchristian and wholly inartistic," as Professor Penny de- clares, there will be as much variety as there is at present, and if they undertake to have it settled by a commission com posed of members of all denominations we suspect that agreement would be im- possible. Any way we view it the Pro- lessor has laid out a difficult task.

 The giving of a special address-as. for instance. Smith, Ferndrucker, Berlin'- suffices to have telegraphio messages from anywhere transmitted at once to the residence of the subscriber.
 The apparatus has already been in use by limited number of firms and SO far has worked faultlessly. The annual sub- scription price for Berlin is 500 marks

 Cotton Growing in Russia.
 United States Consul Oliver D. H. Hughes, at Coburg. Germany, sends to the Department of Commerce and Labor the following concerning cotton growing in Russia:
 According to the New Lodzer Zeitung. the 1902 Central Asian cotton crop is be- low the one of 1901 by about 10 per cent. The chief sufferers have been the planta- tions sown with American seed. These produced 32.5 per cent, less than the pre- ceding year, while those planted with local seed produced S2.2 per cent. more. With regard to area under cotton at the present time there is a decrease amount Ing to 1s.8 per cent. The latter decrease Is S3 per cent. in the Fergana, Sir Darya, and Tashkend districts. while the area in the. Khanate of Khiva and by Is per to the development of Russian cotton growing Is the inadequate credit at the disposal of the planter. For the most part he Is compelled to sell his future crop on the root, and having no further interest in fluctuations of the price, be- comes lax in his attendance. To put a stop to this evil the Government intends to create agricultural loan offices and, further, to construct irrigation plants to supply good seed, to improve the means Of communication. to start additional ex- perimental plantations, and, last but not least. to revise the duties on cotton. wool. and fabrics. all in order to develop cotton growing so as to make the Rus sian industry independent of the Ameri- can supply.

Judge s. w. Haeer

We are pleased to call the attention
of the voters of Fulton and adjoining
counties to the candidacy of Judge
Samuel w. Hager for State Auditor.
This position Is the second of impor-
lance III the state and every voter
should study the situation carefully
and know the merits of the man they
vote for. A mistake in this office by
pnttlng in the wrong man would be
worse than electing bad governor.
This office controls the finances OF the
state, and fraud can be easily accom-
plished, Judge Eager is at present
State Treasurer and no man has filled
an office with such skill and judgement
as Mr.. Hager. He Is faithful party
@~----v--r-ss-,puDli official and a man
of integrity. HIS ..-l...sarssrauon has
been marked with considerable ability
and the humblest man can get recog-
milton from Judge Hager. His charac-
ter Is untarnlshed and is of the noblest
kind. He is plain, honest and manly
and wherever he Is known, he has
friends. He is strong all over the
state and will win the nomination with
ont doubt, He is the right man to
have charge of the states affairs in a
financial way and the people are realiz.
ing that we need good man as an
improvement over the present auditor
Judge Hager will carry the First DIS
trict almost solid. He will get nearly
every vote in F1lton county. 1t is said
that his opponent Jno. b. Chenault is
running on Gus Coulter's slate. and il
that is the case he won't even be placed
in the race.

Gov. Becknam is kIght

The State of kentucky now has to
ats credit $l,323, g99.35, principal and
interest of an old war claim collected
from the national government by the
present state administration.
Coy. Beckham urged that this money
be applied to the extinguishing of the
State debt. The bonded Indebtedness
of the State of Kentucky is now about
81 100000. With this wiped out the
commonwealth would not only be free
of debt but the rate of taxation could
be cut down 2 per cent. With this
PLAIN fact. there ought not to- be two
minds as TO what should be done. First
of all. State-no less than a private
individual should jealously guard its
credit.
Gov. Beckham is right.

the world as net owing dollar, and at
the same time reduce the rate of taxa

Gov. Beckham succeeded in doing
what no other governor did or could.
He collected more than million and
quarter OF dollars due from the gen
eral government to Kentucky on an old
war claim, and then at his suggestion
and by his vote, it was decided to APP
ply the money to the payment of the
state debt. This one act alone would
entitle him to an overwhelming vote of
appreciation, even if he had no other
thing to his credit. The people will
see that Gov. Beckham succeeds him

Information reaches The Register
from private sources that Galloway
county is practically unanimous for
John Hendrick. Also that in Fulton
and Hickman counties where the ma
chine has leased paper or two and
opened up barrel, that Hendrick will
beat Beckham two to one in those
counties. The First district is practi-
cally solid for Hendrlck.
The above reference to paper or two
being leased in Fulton and Hickman
counties, is fair sample of the gross
Misrepresentation INDUCED in by the
Hendrick press bureau. No paper that
