Washington state penitentiary, made his

FUMICATEDOXOLOCY
PASTOR BELIEVES BISHOP POT.
TER POLLUTED HYMN.
Will Preach Temperance Sermon
and Will Show Up the Bishops
Model Saloon.

Chicago, Sept. l4-"I am willing to
join with other Protestant churches and
ministers in fumigating the doxology,
which Bishop Potter has disgraced,"
said Rev. William F. Burton, pastor OF
the First Congressional church of Oak
Park, at a prayer meeting service last
night,
II would willingly say that the fine old
quartrain should not be used for the
space of twelve months, until it has lost
association with Bishop Potter's bias
phemous misuse of that noble compost
tion." he continued. Il intend before
long to preach temperance sermon,
and when | do shall take occasion to
say something about Bishop Potter's
model saloon. / shall seek grace to
speak calmly and cautiously, and have
no doubt that the grace will be given,
but no one will have any doubt of my
opinion of the bishops experiment.
II refer to 1t now merely to say that
the fallacy in the bishops argument Is
precisely that which the Corinthians
adduce, and Paul refuses the alleged
sanctity of the appetite.
"The rich man has club and his
wine. Why should not the church pro-
vide the poor man with respectable
saloon? And, | would add, the rich
man bets at the Derby. Why should
notthe church provide the poor man
with pool room.

According to the ''direct primary nom
ination elections law which, by the

Tribune.
The change in the law, which is an
amendment OF section 1855 OF Bellinger
and Cotton's codes, requires the county
clerk of each county in the state to open
registration books between September
20 and October 20 of this year, and be-
tween the same dates each year there
after in which there shall be an election
of presidential electors.
That portion of the section reads:
at shall be the duty of the county
clerk in each county, between the first
Monday in January, 1906, and 8 o'clock
p. M. of the 10Th day of May, 1906, and
between the same dates and hours
biennially thereafter, and between the
30th day of Sept, 1904, and 8 o'clock p.
m. of the Goth day of October, 1904, and
between the same dates each and every
year thereafter in which there shall be
an election of presidential electors, to
enter upon the proper registers every
person who complies with the require
ments of this chapter and claims to be
an elector residing in the county,"
