Prof. |. E. Page Wins in Election,
Fight Made on Him in
Oklahoma.

We have watched with sym
pathetic interest the attitude of
Prof. Inman E. Page, President of
the Langston, University, Okla
homa Territory, during the bitter
and unwarranted, attacks which
for some time past have been made
upon his management of that in
stitution and upon him personally
with the declared purpose to cause
his removal and our admiration
for the man has increased greatly
as we have noted his dlgnifed and
manly course. The eventuation
has justified our predictions. The
Governor of the State, who has the
power of appointment, has per-
emptorially refused to remove the
professor, and Langston Univer-
sity will continue to enjoy his
almost invaluable services.
The allegations of the Professors
incompetency and of absolute
methods create only amusement in
this part of the country and farther
east as we'll, where the solid quail
ties and thorough educational
qualifications of Mr.. Page are per-
fectly we'll known and highly COM
mended. We congratulate the PEG.
pie of the Territory, the students
of the University, and the rae in
general over the outcome. One OF
the most admirable features of the
episode which must appeal to the
tenderest sensibilities Of Prof.
Page was the active loyalty and
support accorded to him by tine
really influential men of the Terri
tory. Eminent among them and
indeed the leader of the movement
in his defense vas Mr.. Johu G.
Leftwich the editor of that sterling
race journal. "The Western
World" a man of brains, power
and influence. He appreciated thu
value of Prof. Page, and will
voice and pen and his great person
atty he soon put to route the ''tit
mice" who emerged from thei,
native obscurity only long enough
to exhibit an %undraped base and tt
point the moral of the command
ing influence Of a really worth.
and powerful newspaper like tn
World. We felicitate Prof. Page
but tender to Editor Leftwich tn

Christian Union C0zuing
FRANK H. CHAPMAN
Author Of "Bird Lifeo
By REV. G. A. HOFFMAN

ETyYSYSOWEVER far the churches may be from the union of all
IA III 81 Christians at the present day, the union sentiment is in
III F@ "a the air, and many. propositions are being made, upon
kNSEytA which all lovers of Christ are asked to unite.
The churches must and will become one. They must
unite and become one communion. This will not be brought
about by the various denominations giving up their creeds and
accepting the teaching of some one body or denomination. Union
cannot come about in this way. Union will and must come by the
churches of all sects or parties gradually giving up the theology Of
the creeds and going back to Christ, and to the simple helpful worship
of the New Testament church.
We believe that much is being done by theYoung Mems Christian
association, the international series of Sunday school lessons, the
Young Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor, the evangelical alliance
church federation in some of our large cities and other agencies al
work at present which bring together the workers of the various re-
hgious bodies.
The leaven is at work in every religious body, and the effects are
being felt in every denomination. When God speaks we must be
unity, but when He is silent there must be liberty. We thank God that
the time is coming when men will be Christians only and Christians
truly in every sense of the word in the church of God.

The Passing of Pope Leo.

The death of Pope Leo removes
from the stage of action one of the
greatest men who has ever lived.
Pope Leo was a man of very rare
attalnments and the entire world
to-day mourns his death. His en-
tire life was that of exemplary
christian sublimity. For a quarter
of a century he directed the affairs
OF the great catholic church of the
world and his acts and teaching
were such as to command the re-
spect of the entire universe.

Soclety and The Church.
By DIR. DONALD SAGE MACKAY
Pastor Collegiate Church, New York

Fl AM not a pesimist on the subject of churchgong. l believe
a that more thoughtful, intellectual men are going to church to-
Ie"TW day than there were ten years ago.
On the other hand, proportionatey l believe, fewer won-
en- are attending church than formerly. That is especially so among
women of leisure and the socaled society women, for whom the Sab
bath is crowded with social engagements. 1t is also true largely of the
wageearning woman, who not unnaturally desires the Sabbath for
recreation.
Il. the aggregate, of course, there are more women in Our churches
than men. Elaborate forms of ritual will naturally always attract
women and certain men of an efeminate type, who are still in the
kindergarten stage of their intellectual. life.
But 1t is the Gospel in its terse, concrete application to common
life that will alone successfully attract that type of thoughtful man
who seeks the conservation of his intellect more than the sanci6caton
of his emotions i'll the public worship of God.
Every man who habitualy refuses to attend Gods house is help
ing along to the limit of his personal influence this degradation of life
for the entire coNntry.

Our Bene1actory, the Birds

Our B~ene1actory, the Birds
BY FRANK H. CHAPMAN
Author of " Bird Life"
ME economic value of birds to man lies in the service they
render in preventing the undue increase of insects, in de-
vouring small rodents, in destroying the seeds of harmful
M9Nf plants, and in acting as scavengers.
IMETM Entomoogists estimate that insects cause n annual loss
I&MME of at least $2oooooooo to the farmers of the United
mn States. But if insects are the natural enemies of vegetation,
IK% NM birds are the natural enemies of insects.
ES=S Mr.. Z. H. Forbush, orniho1ogist of the Massachusetts
board of agriculture, states that in the stomachs of four
chickadees he found los female moths of the cankerworm. The aver
age number of eggs found in 20 of these moths was 1856; so that, as
It is estimated that a chickadee may eat 80 female cankerworm moths
per day, it follows that, during the rs days when these moths crawl
up trees, each chicakadee would destroy nearly 10000 eggs of this
noxous insect.
The service rendered by birds in killing small rodents is per-
formed by hawks and ows-brds the uniformed farmer considers
his enemies. DR.. A. K. Forbush, assistant ornithologist of the United
States department of agriculture, has found that 90 per cent. of the
food of the red-shouldered hawk, commonly called chicken hawk"
or "hen hawk" consists of injurious mammals and insects. Still,
these birds are not only not protected, but in some states a price is
actually set upon their heads!
AS destroyers of the seeds of harmful plants the good done by
birds cannot be overestimated. Throughout the winter seeds form
the only food of many species.
AS scavengers the vulures or buzzards of the south are pro-
tected both by law and public sentiment; but we do not realize that
guHs ar also beneficial in eating refuse which, if left floating on the
water, would often be cast ashore to decay. DR.. George F. Gammer,
of Yucatan, tells me that the killing of immense numbers of herons
that formerly assisted in keeping the beaches and bayous along that
coast free from decaying animal matter has been followed by an in
crease in human mortality. -

ttced that a hen placed in a snakes
cage will often go toward it and make
determined peck at the snakes
tongue. A frog has been seen to do
the same thing. Were this seen to
occur in a wild bird, it might easily
be put down to fascination.
1.-The indications of charming among
poisonous snakes are all the more de-
ceiving sometimes. Poisonous snakes
fang their pray once only. The poison
does not kill at once; the victim flut-
ters on to a branch, 1t may be. or runs
a short distance and stops, and the
snake watches it; the poison does It's
deadly work and the bird falls. Any
one who comes up, not having seen the
attack, might in this way be readily
deceived into imagining that it was the
glance Of the snake and not the poison
that caused the victim to fall 1t may
be the approach of an insectivorOus bird
or mammal that, taking the move
ments Of the snakes tongue for those
of a worm or insect, hopes to secure
meal. 1t may be the attacking OF
the snake by the companions of a vic
tim that has been seized, or of a moth
er whose nest has been robbed; it may
be simply the effect of poison already
injected before the observer has come
upon the scene, or it may be simple
curiosity"

Renting an Automobile.

If you should want to hire a big
Panhard motor car for a Sunday out
ing, and spoke for it in time, you
could have it for 800 for the day.
If you only wanted it for an afternoon
fifty dollar bill would pay for the
privilege of riding in the manner of
a millionaire. With the car an ex-
perienced chauffeur would be furnish
ed, and unless you were willing to take
him along you couldn't rent the au-
tomobile under any circumstances. A
machine that costs $4,000, and whose
parts cannot be duplicated this side
of France, is not to be trusted to any
one but good chauffeur.
One shop up town has two of these
motor cars that are used for demon
strating. towing broken down automo-
When there is nothing else for them
mentioned. though the proprietors Of
them out. The wear and tear on an
automobile is so great that renting
them at 500 Is in no sense a profitable
enterprise.
What man who owns a touring
car may pay for repairs-and not ex-
traerdinary ones, either-and the keep
of machine is instanced by the years
bill of the owner of a $4,000 car. 1t
amounted to $4,000, and this did not
include the wages of the chauffeur,
whose salary was $3.50 a month, or
about as much as the average captain
of transatlantic liner is paid-New
