MINISTER TO COME BACK
Rev. c. {. Raymond Writes Letter
to the Maryland Synod.
He WANTS TO BE RESTORED
Letter Came Too Late 70 Be Acted Upon
Bv The SYNOD at lis Late
Meeting Here.

Rev. Or. s. w. Owen, OF Hagers-
town, chairman OF the committee to
Investigate the 9. Il. Raymond matter.
renorted in part as follows to the
MARYLAND synod, Lutheran church, at
Martinsburg:
Your committee recommends the
return to Mr. q. Il. RAYMOND his or
dination papers, we having received
a letter from him requesting as to do
so, IN which he stated that he had
only sent in his ordination papers be-
cause he thought IL necessary in order
to get withdrawal from the synod.
and has since learned his mistake.
The committee further recommends
that che synod request the Church OF
Peace of Baltimore to rescind Its ac-
ton as to Withdrawing from this
synod. After much discussion pro
and con the report was adopted.
When synod convened and it wns
learned from the presidents report
that Rev. O. Il. Raymond had re-
turned his ordination papers to the
president OF the synod, because the
president refused him an honorable
dismissal, 1t was Thought bv many that
Mr.. Raymond had Identified the minis
try and was therefore beyond the
jurisdiction OF this or any other synod.
and no charges were made to either
the synod or the committee. Rev.
Mr.. Raymond further stated IN his
letter requesting the return Of his
papers that he was willing to face any
accusation that may be made against
him touching his right to be minis
ter aud member Of the synod. Tho
letter was received too late for action
at the lare meeting OF the synod.

FROM THE ASHES.
Baltimore Family's Excellence Point. Moral to Residents of Mont
 gOmery.

The visitor to Baltimore today Scarcely realizes that less than year ago the city was almost destroyed by a memorable fire. A similar comparl- son might be made by George w, Na!ly. one of the leading citizens of Baltimore, as to the change in his own looks.
 A short time ago, MT. Nally. writing from his home address, 22l3 Barclay St. says. "I have been troubled for years with catarrh and had resorted to all remedies that could be thought of. My wife was also afflicted with this terri . ble disease, but all the treatments we used were an absolute failure until we tried Hyomei It worked like a charm and has made complete cure in both of our cases. There is no dtsagreea ble stomach dosing In using Hyomei. We breathed it. and it's fragrance, so clean, pure and braclng, killed all the catar- rhal germs in the head. throat, and lungs.
 The experience of MT. Nally and his wife certainly points a moral to all readers of The Advertiser who are suf- fering from catarrh. It shows how they can be cured of this frightful dis ease without dangerous stomach dos- ing.
 E. G. Fowler. the local agent for Fly omei has so much faith in the treat ment that he gives his personal guar antee to refund the money In case 1t does not benefit. complete outfit costs one dollar. the extra bottles are but fifty cents. Ask to see the strong guarantee under which Hyomei is sold.

THE HEIGHT OF IMpUDENcr.

Commenting on the recent visit of Governor Cummins of Iowa with his tarin-reform plea, to the President. The Chattanooga Times says:
 It strikes us .as being impertinent. not to say impudent, in Governor Cum mins and the Western revisionists to approach the President on this subject unanimously on his high protection platform. They are getting just whats coming to them, and will get no sym pathy anywhere. Next time, maybe, they will vote for conviction, and not prejudice.
 Of course 1t is impudent, cheeky and several other things of the kind. Thu West wants certain tarifr changes for its own benefit. New England wants certain reductions and reciprocity with Canada for Its own benefit. vet both sections went blind for Roosevelt op platform that offered them precious little of what they claim to want. They had no right to suppose that g. President or party elected on that platform would give them what they profess to be so anxious to obtain. It matters not that certain prominent Re- publicans claim to be determined on revision and modification. It matters not that the President himself is rep- resented as leaning the same way. It was enough that the "stand-patters" controlled the party, and that the plat form was really high tariff deliver ance. In. spite of this the East and the West supported Roosevelt and his party with almost crazy enthusiasm and turned the cold shoulder on a can- didate and party that was earnestly and sincerely advocating an honest. just and fair tariff system. Instead of voting for Parker and lower tariff they went blindly for Roosevelt and everything his party stands for. and now they are snivelling for tarin re- vision. It is sublimated gall, and if none but themselves were concerned We shouldn't care how much the tariff pinches them.

Homicide in the United States.

Baltimore Sun.
 Judge w. H. Thomas of Montgomery, Ala, read at the recent Congress of Arts and Sciences at St. Louis an in- teresting paper on the homicidal pro- pensity of the people of the United States. This propensity the Judge terms "individualism," and thinks that it results from impatient desire for in- dividual power"-a disposition to have ones way in defiance of law. Homi- cides in the United States are 129.3 per million of population. against 9.63 per million in Canada, 1915 in England and 14.22 in France. In New England the homicides are 2.34 per 50,000 inhabit- ants, against 14.71 per 50.000 in the States of the Pacific Coast. The col ored race furnishes proportionately over five times as many cases of hom- ioide as the whites. In the light of this fact the rate of 11.15 (homicides per

MAY REVIVE CHECK TAX.
One of the Suggested Methods to In-
 crease Government Receipts.


 Washington Special.
 In the belief that there will be a re- vision of the tariff and a reduction in customs receipts. Treasury Department officials are figuring on how the gov- ernments receipts can be increased through internal revenue sources. The receipts from all sources are already less than the expenditures.
 They estimate that from $25,000, 900 to $40,000.000 can be added to the an- nual receipts by raising the tax on whiskey. beer and tobacco without in- creasing it to point that will actual ly work hardship on the manufactur- CTS. An inheritance tax, such as pre- vailed during the Spanish war, would produce at least $7,000,000 a year, and a 2-cent stamp tax on bank checks would yield a similar amount. Com missioner Yerkes favors both of these.
 The internal revenue receipts last year from distilled spirits was s12S,- 500,1D0; from tobacco. s44,655, ,OO0; from fermented liquors, $49,00O,0 900.
 Secretary Shaw, who has been one of the strongest "standpatters" said to- day that, while still opposed 10 tariff revision, he is not opposed to the amendment of a few schedules. He declined to specify them. saying that he would want to investigate careful ly first, lest he might close a factory and turn the men into the street

Financial Optimism |.
Baltimore Herald.

Nothing more clearly shows the financial optimism of the country than the extensive deals that are going on everywhere. A few years ago it was kind of company that required consid- erable capital and J P. Morgan was lamenting that many of the securities that he had intended for the public remained undigested. It was said that he had foated his last share of stock. but a boom feeling is on and Mir Nor gan is going into the purchase of street car lines in Chicago as if he had never given the public poor se- curity. At the bottom of the strong feeling in financial circles is the knowledge that the country is in a and busy industries. With such 9 foundation 1t is not difficult to set things soaring.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-11-29

Under the old tribal system formerly in vogue in Indian Territory, the Cher okees lived in what some consider an idyilic manner as to their land sys- tenn. The Cherokee Advocate says of 1t:
 Under our system of holding land in common-there could be no such thing as pauper in our country tnat IS among our citizens. All a. cherokee had to do. if he could afford tne price or an aX, was to go upon the public domain, cut a set of house logs and then find a board tree, split his Doards and build his house If he saw some other place he liked better he could sell his mprovements-but not tne land<to citizen and go to the other place and do as before. build his log house and live happy.
 This approached what we may con- slider the patrarchial system, or what we might look on as ideal communism. As there was no ownership of land 1t was as free as the air or the water. and no member of the tribe could con- troi more of it than he needed for his own use. We have, too the further assurance that intrusion by one Cher okee on the home of another was un- known. In very truth each mans house was his castle, for 1t was his Individual property and no other In- dian, except an enemy. would dare to intrude on him or molest him. This immunity from intrusion, either by in- dlVlduals or by the tribal government. also extended, as we learn, to tho Esmall spots of ground cleared bv tbep, Tor the cultivation of their corn and vegetables, but went no further. All outside of that was free to all and each could locate on any land not al- ready occupied, or could buy the im- proyements made on the land bv an. other. Under the new laws and reg uiations all this Is practically at an landowners and probably land liti- gants like the rest of us
 Whether they will be more contented under the new regime than they were under the old is at least doubtful. When .men begin to own land in fee then almost invariably comes up in- trusion, trespass. and litigation. with all its attendant ills, and we suppose the Indian will fall into the white man's ways in this as in most other matters. Private ownership and pos- session of land will bring just the same troubles with them that 1t has always brought to orSax races, but it was i'm possible for then. Hs go on in the old way. Becoming citizens of our gov- ernment they must adopt it's ways and submit to its laws and regulations, and, at least among the civilized tribes, the day of free land for all is over, wheth- CT it proves for the better or not.

old-Time Digestions to the Fore.

Portland OregOnian.
 Now and then one hears of lamenta- tion that Americans are not the sturdy race they used to be. The homespun ways of the pioneers are contrast ed with the silken ways of their descend ants and the conclusion is reached that the American of today is a creature of predigested foods and skim milk. Ever out here in Oregon such a voice is sometimes heard. Let all such Jere- miahs glance at the bill of fare for Senator Platt's recent breakfast and be forever silenced. Here is what a lot of politicians tackled for their morning meal: Buckwheat cakes and maple syrup, venison, sweet and hard cider, and pumpkin. apple and mince pie. Think of that, ye pepsin swal- lowers-hard cider and rllnce pie for breakfast.
