PERKS MAKES A SPEECH.
Attacks Minister of London City
Temple at Bazaar.

London, March 4-Consternation
has been caused in British non-con-
formist circles by speech. of Robert
W. Perks, Liberal member of parlia-
ment for the Louth division of Lincoln
shire, delivered yesterday at the open
ing of a Methodist bazaar ut Louth in
which he vigorously criticised The Rev.
Reginald John Campbell. minister of
the city temple here Both men are
pillars of non-confornity, one of them
being practically the head of the min
istry and the other one Of the ncst
prominent laymen- The two main
points of Mr.. Perks attack were the
Rev. Mr.. Campbells recent presenta-
ton at court by the bishop of London
and the projecting surplcing of Mr..
Campbells choir of the city temple.
Il was sorry" said Mr.. Perks, Ito
see a few days ago when Mr. Campbell
wished to go to court he asked the
bishop of London to present him to the
king. What would have been said in
the days gone by if puritan preachers,
prosecuted not by parliament as they
are now, but by a feeble Stuart king,
had asked Archbishop Laud to present
them to King Charles? Mr.. Campbell
would have been far better advised if
he had asked the veteran leader of
nOnconformity. the Rev James
Guinness Rogers to introduce him to
King Edward. instead of going to a
leVee hanging to the apron strings of
an Anglican bishop"
Referring to the surplicing of the
men and women of the choir in gowns
and velvet caps, Mr.. Perks said:
"Ritualism is a steep and slippery
slope. Possibly the next thing we
shall see is Mr. Campbell marching
around the aisles of the city temple
followed by his surpliced choir chant
ing a professional hymn, with the re-
luctant deacons behind. These are
days when nonconformity is confront
ed with a severe struggle. We expect
our preachers to march with fearless,
buoyant step and not become camp
followers in the anglican army"
The Rev. Mr.. Campbell declines to
discuss Mr.. Perks remarks.

defense. In the old city of Brussels the
square upon which faces its wonderful
city hall is approached by streets so
narrow that they must surely have been
constructed with the idea of defense in
mind
Were it possible to forecast the rapid
development of cities or to predict which
of our many cities is to become a metrop-
oils. the problem might not be such diff
ficult one, but such, unfortunately, is not
the case. Even the most vivid magma
ton would scarcely have been able to pre-
dict the enormous increase of population
and the consequent architectural develop
ment of modern cities. The rapid growth
of American cities is well known, but few
realize that the older cities of Europe
have had a similar experience. The re-
cent increase in Berlin has exceeded that
of Chicago, and what is true of Berlin is
true of many other European centers. 1t
is then not surprising to note that in
Hanover, Hamburg, Nuremburg, Leipsic,
Leignitz, st. Johann Saar and Magde

KEEP "THE DRIVE" OPEN.
Auburndale People Object to Closing
Plan.

Most of the time of the streets and
walks committee Wednesday afternoon
was taken up with the Auburndale
people, who object to the closing up of
The Drive, as requested by John D.
Knox.
The Drive, as laid out, cuts dag
onally through two blocks of land
owned by Mr.. Knox The county paid
Mr.. Knox 1919 for the road, but now
Mr.. Knox wants to close it up, so that
his two blocks of land will be more
salable. He offers to open up two new
streets in return for the vacation of
The Drive.
A dozen Auburndale property owners
were present to protest against the
proposed change. They claimed that
they like the way The Drive is laid
out, and that it was one of the reasons
they bought property there. They also
think that the proposed new streets
would not be wide enough. In reply to
this Mr.. Knox said:
why, my dear brothers, don't you
know that the widest street in Jeru-
salem, which was the metropolis of the
world at one time. was only % feet
wide?"
That was almost a clincher for the
people who objected to the width of
the streets.
The committee did not reach any
definite conclusion about the matter.
but invited the interested parties to
come before the city council next Mon
day night and state their views.

BY MACHINES.
The Government Will Use Mergen-
thaler Linotypes.

Washington. March 24.-Linotype ma
chimes are to be introduced in the gov
eminent printing Office at once. P. T.
Dodge. president of the Mergenthaler
Linotype company, and ]. L. Kennedy,
representing that company in Washing
ton, recently presented a proposition to
the house committee for an appropria-
ton to install forty machines. Public
Printer Palmer, however, has informed
the appropriation committee that he
needs no new legislation to introduce
typesetting machines, so that no delay
will be necessary.
Nj. Dodge, in his proposal to the
house committee agreed to equip the
government printing office with forty
machines at a cost of $500 each. An
appropriation Of S159, 900 to pay for these
machines and all necessary supplies was
asked. 1t is estimated that it will take
200 machines to supply the Office and the
plan proposed is to purchase forty or
fifty machines each year until this num-
Der has been acquired.
The statement was made to the COM
mittee by Mr.. Kennedy that the work
of the composing room could be done
from IS to 40 per cent cheaper by the
use of the machines. Attention was
called to the fact that all other branch
es of the office were equipped with la
Dor saving machinery. The use of the
machines in daily papers throughout the
country was commented on, together
with the fact that the Typographical
union had indorsed the machine in
newspaper and commercial Offices
The information received from Public
Printer Palmer was a cheerful relief to
the house committee. The members have
decided to install a limited number of
machines this year.

WANT OFFICE OPEN.
People Near Washburn Circulating
Sunday Opening Petitions.

The statement that nobody wants the
Washburn college pOstOffice opened on
sunday seems to be hardly warranted by
the facts. A petition is now being circu-
lated throughout the west part of town,
among all of the patrons of sub-station
b, asking that the postoffice be kept
open, as usual, from to 4 o'clock Sun
day afternoon.
1t is said that the movement to close
the postoffice originated with the Wash
burn college authorities, who do not care
about having the students go to the post
ofiee Sunday afternoon. But the Wash
burn college mail is really a small por-
ton of the mail which is handled at sub
station B. The whole southwest part of
town is supplied from there and every
sunday afternoon hundreds of people
come to the office between and o clock
TO get their mail. 1t is a great mistake
to say that there is no demand that The
office should be open
Whether or not it is a good plan to open
the office on Sunday afternoon is another
question, but there is not any doubt
about the people wanting it open for an
hour. The petition asking that the Of
fee be kept open will be presented to the
pOstoffice authorities here. If the postof-
nee down town is kept open for a limited
time on Sunday it seems only right that
the substation should also be open The
people living. in the southwest part of
town are entitled to as good mail service
as anyone else in the city.
