Wants Increased Approximation.

The Commissioners have received a COM
munication from Corporation Counsel A.
B. Duvall, requesting that they increase
their estimates to Congress relative to the
item covering expenditures for luncay pro-
ceedings to $500. This recommendation
is made in view of the recent opinion of the
controller of the treasury. in which it is
held that the District is liable to the clerk
of the Supreme Court of the District for
all fees in such cases. The Commissioners
have approved the suggestion.

What Shall the Boys Do.

sooner or later every boy must dc.
eide what he will be There never
was II greater opportunity for boys
to become well to.do, independent
men than there is to-day. Few field:
offer greater rewards than farming
Farms are becoming more valuabl,
every year. Population is increasing
and food prodacis are becoming doarer
and great rewards are in store for the
boy who will make farming Il proics.
sion, For farming Is profession.
In our State University at Columbia
Agriculture is considered rs distinctly
= profession as law or medicine.
Classroom lectures and rccitations are
supplemented by practical demonstra.
ton on the State farm. In the class
room the student becomes acquainted
with the best rations and in the barn
studies the effects Of these rations and
determines their practical value.
TIo study of live stock is based upon
the examination of large number oi
animals so that the student gels 4
real practical knowledge of the best
types for various purposes. This il
distinctly professional training,
The expense OF preparing for n caret !
rs Il su ssiul farmer are less than
in almo any other profession. Tc
refer TO our own University again,
which Secretary OF Agriculture VIII
sou says is in some respects the besl
in the United States. Tuition is free,
there are no expensive books, board
costs from 50 90 to $500 per week,
but this must be had at home and Il
hardly to be counted as expense.
Many of tho boys work on the Stale
farm at fifteen cents an hour and make
nearly all their expenses. So that al
least in our own University, the OK.
pcnse of learning the profession oI
Agriculture is indeed small.
When boy has-.iearned agricul-
ture he Is much better off than in 0
so-called learned profession. He car
learn 1t much cheaper. Why -thcr
should he seek one of the overcrowded
professions' Secretary Wilson says
1.-THE so-calied learned professions
have been overdone and tho supply
exceeds the demand The one class,
more than all others, that is to be-
como well-to-do is the farmer who
owns The soil that is becoming every
day more valuable" A good pro-
fession to-day for ambitious boys Il
farming.

Why Major Houck Resigned.

From Frc,;crcktown Democrat News.
Maj. Gibony Bouck has resigned
as major of the Sixth battalion.
State guards, and l.. j. Albert,
Jr., has been appointed to succeed
him. In connection with this res.
ignation and appointment cones
an interesting story which was
told to the Democrat News one
day last week by prominent
Southeast Missouri politician, who
for reasons best known to himself
desires his name withheld. You
see, said he, Louis Houck, faith.
er of Gibony, has been prominent =
ly mentioned as candidate for
Governor. An attempt was made
by certain politicians to get Hon.
Louis Houck to put quietus on
this growing sentiment in his favor
in Southeast Missouri, and for him
to endorse the candidancy of Judge
CAN'T for Governor. Failing to
accomplish the desired end, these
politicians turned their attention
towards Maj. Gibony Houck, with
Il view of getting him TO work
upon his father. Maj. Houck in
formed them in language more
pointed than elegant that his father
was able 70 manage his own offairs,
and for them to go to blankety
blank blank. An intimation was
then sent to Maj. Houck that his
resignation as major of the Sixth
battalion would be- accepted il sent
in, and Gibony forwarded his res
ignation so quick that it kinder
took the breath ont OF the CAN'T
followers at jefferson City. This,
/ am told" said the gentleman
is the real reason for Gibony
Houck resigning as major OF the
Sixth battalion. AS everyone in
Southeast Missouri knows, that il
it had not been for Gibony Houck
there would be no Sixth battalion,
and when he was abont to see bis
efforts crowned with success, he ia
forced ont because he would not
fall down and worship the idol sei
up by a few politicians at jefferson
City.

Brewer on Injunction.

FROM Inv inbHihiilpliS Ntntln'I.
Mr.. Justice Brewer of the Fed
eral supreme bench has been talk
ing on the subject of injunctions,
ms well as on various other topics,
and says this:
We hear a great clamor against the
rower Of injunction. 1t has been made
political question and issue, and "gov-
crnmcnt by Injunction" is the popular
phrascology. Never was there a time
when such full and vigorous power
was more to the nation or for the best
of il than now. As the population be
comes more dense and the business in
tcresis OF the country larger and more
complicated, the restraining power OF u
court OF equity is of far greater value to
the nation than the furnishing power
Of court of law, What is needed is a
preventive rather than cure. Shall
il be said of law, which is supposed TO
be the embodiment of all human reason,
that it abamdons the work OF STAYING or
preventing wrong' To take away the
power OF injunction from courts Of equity
Is step backward toward barbarism
rather than step forward toward that
perfect civilization toward which we are
| striving.
The most striking thing about
such an utterance from such n
source is that nobody has pro-
posed to take away the power of
injunction from courts of equity"
and that nobody objects to any
thing but the abuse of the power.
The objection to government by
Injunction" is that it takes away
the right Of jury trial for the ac.
cused, and that is not preventing
wrong, but changes our constitu-
tional provisions for conviction and
punishment for it. Courts have
always exercised the preventive
power. as in binding over to
keep the peace" but for violation
of that the offender is not denied
his right Of jury trial for the Of
fense, but only forfeits his bond
But the use of injunction has
not been limited to wrongs. JUS.
tice Brewer says as to labor unions:
There is no thought of disturb
ing them so long as they are
peaceful in the exercise of their
rights" That is not true. The
cause of complaint is interference
with conceded rights. EVERYBODY
admits the right to strike and the
right to free speech, but in the coal
miners cases men were enjOined
from holding peaeeable public
meetings and urging others TO join
them in striking. and were pun
ished for violating the injunction,
In the face of these notorious
facts Justice Brewers argument
bsgs the question entirely. All
that he says about utility of the
writ Of injunction is true enough,
but it furnishes no justification
of the abuse of it. The writ of
mandamus, or the writ Of ne exeat,
or any other legal process might be
made obnoxious by its abuse of the
courts. The a~ I for redress In
congress was merely in the way oi
restricting the courts to the origin
! al aud proper use OF the writ. Il
| did not prohibit injunction at oil
| and no one has ever urged its pro
hibitiop

Mission 70 the Church.

The Rev. Dr.. Holderly, Presby,
terian, Atlanta, Ga: The early
church understood well its mission
in the world. The Savior had
carefully instructed his disciples as
to the object for which the church
was instituted. To go on and
preach the gospel to every creature
was the first duty, to minister to
their poor brethren was the next.

Love Learned Through Service

1t is true that love cannot be
forced, that it cannot he made to
order, that we cannot love because
we ought or even because we want
to. But we can bring ourselves
into the presence Of the lovable; we
can enter into friendship through
the door of discipleship; we can
learn love through service. Chris.

gested in Gods word in our ser.

The Christ Mind.

The Rev. +. +. Mason, Indie e.
pendent, Brooklyn, N. Y; When

God. II we have courage we have
God; if we fear and collapse, we
are minus the God standard of
