SURRENDER OF THE CONFESSION
Iron the Emporia Gazette

IrIOIu lHe EmpOr1a Gazette
The board of directors of Union The
logical seminary, which has been a lead
ing theological seminary of the Presby-
terrain church for many years, has de-
cided to surrender the Westminster
confession of faith, as a test for preach
ers who are graduated from that fnsti-
tuition.
The tendency to make the individual
conscience of the believer the final test
on matters of right and wrong, is grow
ing SO fast that no church can check
it. Circumstances make right or wrong.
There are no absolute rules of conduct
Every act must be judged by itself and
in its own environment. Conduct is
two thirds of life, if not more And
conduct will be good or bad, according
to the moral perception and moral cour-
age of each man. About the best thing
preachers and churches can teach is
the doctrine of personal honor-and the
faith, which may be demonstrat sci
entidcally, that in the long run, the
right prevails. Christ's life as model
for mankind will move the world more
and more, as the world grows in intel
ligence enough to appreciate the kind
of a life Christ led. The story of his
life is the sum of all theology. The
Westminster confession-like confess

as it helps-like scores of confessions of

ing the first discomforts of official
power. He is overwhelmed with ap-
plications for positions and this in
face of the fact that the number of
places at his disposal is comparatively
small
Mr.. Hoch is famous for his I'M
ruff1ed disposition. He has been
known as a man who could accept any
situation no matter how trying with
the utmost composure. He is a man
who likes to avoid giving offense and
If he could give every man in Kansas

Hoch. But he is at the place where
he must give offense. He hasn't
enough positions to supply one-fourth
of the applicants. He will not be able
to satisfy every one. least of all the
applicants themselves. This is a try
ing position for Mr.. Hoch but it is
one that he will have to meet. a fact
which he no doubt understands per-
fectly.
While it is not the purpose to give
Mr.. Hoch advice 1t may be stated
broadly that the only safe course open
to him is to make appointments with
reference to the fitness of the ap-
plicant and appoint men who are able
to give the best service to the state.
The fact that a politician supports this

person a mortgage on an office

credit to the administration. If Mr..
Hoch appoints good and competent
men to office the people will be sat-
isfied, and after all there are more
people than politicians.
Mr.. Hoch could not have made a bet
ter start than his appointment of T. A.
McNeal as his private secretary.

WHERE'S THE SENSE?

A man can understand the folly of
deliberately putting his hand in the fire,
and holding it there. But somehow he
cannot understand the folly of paying
his hard-earned money for intoxicants
which do him physical and moral in
jury.
Why is it that a man can understand
that it hurts to have a,tooth pulled, but
cannot understand that it hurts to drink
whisky?
Judge Wofford, of the Kansas City
criminal court, few days ago, in SEN
fencing a young man for getting drunk
and stabbing a man, said: "Four-fifths
of the time of this court is taken up
with crimes caused by whisky. The
greatest evil that now affects this coun-
try is the abuse of whisky. Every day
men are swimming to the penitentiary
through whisky

LOWER THEATER PRICES,

The standard price for theatrical at
fractions of the highest grade is grad
ually being established at one dollar for
the parquet seats in New York city as
well as in many of the other leading
cities of the United States.
This seems to be a move in the right
direction. Not long ago a New York
manager established a dollar schedule
of prices, and soon after others followed
until at the present time there are sew
raj first class houses playing high class
productions in which leading stars are
featured. at a dollar schedule of prices.
The indications point to a still further
extension of this price so as to include
practically all of the New York houses
1t seems that for a. time the theatrical
world underwent the stock watering
process which is so well known in the
commercial world. whereby values were
inflated. The reaction now seems to be
at hand and it will not be surprising If
the reaction is far reaching enough to
touch all of the out Of the way places

PIPING NATURAL GAS.

Just at present there is a lot of ex-
element about the question of piping
natural gas out of the southern Kan
sas gas fields. 1t will not last long.
The gas will be piped out.
Even if it were desirable for the
southern part of the state to keep its
gas at home, it is offered by COM
bination which it can't beat. The
people who are opposed to the piping
of gas are in a hopeless minority. All
over the state of Kansas are scattered
people who own gas wells down in
southern Kansas The gas wells are
not worth a cent to them unless they
can turn the product into a gas main
and have it transported to places
where it is in demand. Indications
are that the big manufactured gas
companies in Kansas City and Topeka
are working in harmony with the pipe
line people, instead of opposing them,
as it was expected they might do. The
manufactured gas people expect to use
the natural gas in their existing mains.
They will make a good profit and con-
tinue to do business in natural gas I'M
til the supply is exhausted. Then
they will be right on the ground ready
to resume business in manufactured
gas. They are not going to furnish
any 'sinews" with which to fight the
piping of natural gas, because they
realize that an alliance with the
enemy" is their only hope of safety.
1t is probably true. as has been
claimed of late, that the people who
own the gas wells in southern Kansas,
even the resident owners, are in favor
of the pipe lines. The ones who are
making the fight are the manufacture
ers and residents of the towns and
cities, who hope to force business to
come to them, instead of sending the
gas where the business demands 1t. 1t
is a very natural position for those
people to take. No one can blame
them for trying to maintain a sort of
monopoly on their gas. 1t is most
valuable asset for a town, and the big
pipe line will of course deplete the
supply at a rapid rate.
For cities situated as Topeka Is stu
ated, the pipe line will prove to be
great boon. Gas will be cheap, and will
be used to a much greater extent than
il is now used, both for lighting and
fuel. There is, however, this danger:
if the big main leading out of the gas
fields should break-or, perchance. be
blown up with dynamite-after the gas
is flowing, the towns and cities de-
pendent upon that main for gas would
be in deplorable condition. 1t is
doubtful whether a sufficient supply of
gas could be kept on hand in the city
reservoirs to last for more than one or
two days; it would take probably two
or three days to repair the break. and
three days more for the gas to travel
from the gas fields to the place of con-
sumption, after the break was repair
ed. The law would have to be con-
structed to inf1ict the most severe pen
alties on anyone tampering with the
pipe lines.
Kansas sorely needs laws which will
prevent waste to the gas supply and the
Forthcoming legislature will surely make
such enactments.

McNEAL FOR SECRETARY.
[From the Emporia Gazette.

FROM the EIQpOTld 1dZGlLC.1
Governor-elect Hoch has made a
wise choice in picking T. A. McNeal,
editor of the Topeka Mail and Breeze,
for private secretary to the governor,
and though the selection of McNeal
is probably only a temporary affair,
it will throw the new governor dur
ing the really critical weeks of his
administration with a man of sound
Judgment. of absolute honesty, and
unquestioned courage. In addition to
this, McNeal has that fine and saving
sense of humor which will save a
hundred bad situations. No other
man in Kansas is so thoroughly
equipped to guide the new governor
over the dangerous shoals that stand
in front of him during the early part
of his administration as Tom McNeal.
The fact that he is using rather
high grade talent for the secretary
ship will not of course affect McNeal.
He and all the people of Kansas know
that he will some day come into a
place in the service of this state where
those talents will have all the honor
due them, and just now it is duty, and
not honor, that he is seeking.

AN OFFENSIVE FREAK.

In choosing the name Border Ruff
fans a convivial association of resi-
dents of New York city has shown
either ignorance or extreme bad taste,
says the Chicago Inter-Ocean. AL
though most of the members are said
to have come from the southwest, or
to have lived there. it is evident that
they can hardly comprehend what the
name Border Rufian" stands for in
history and public feeling in the west.
When the struggle for Kansas was
raging there arose organizations of
1awless and criminal adventures, who
sought by theft. pillage, rapine. and
murder to decide the political future
of Kansas, and to make il a slave ter
ritory. These bloody and Infamous
men were the Border Ruff1ans.
A few years ago there were still
pointed out in the city of Lawrence,
Kan, the blackened foundations of
houses burned over the heads of wo-
men and children by the Border Ruff
fans. The spot in a vacant lot was
shown where a prominent citizen of
the town, shot down unarmed by the
Border Ruffians, lay all day helpless
and apparently dying, while his family
was forbidden by armed thugs to give
him the slightest aid.
The man thus tortured by the
Border Ruffians survived to become
head of one of the largest mercantile
houses in the Missouri valley, and was
living witness a few years ago to
what the Border Ruffians were. The
cemeteries of all the older towns of
eastern Kansas contain the graves of
victims of the Border Rufians.
The New Workers who have chosen
this name for their convivial associa-
ton appear to be men of some stand
ing. Some of them have been judges.
and one mentioned is a scientist in
the federal service. Probably they do
not understand that the name they
have chosen misrepresents the west to
the east, and revives in hundreds of
families throughout the country griefs
and shames they would like to forget
Either they are ignorant, or in
choosing that name they have INDUCED
in most offensive freak

faith that have been made up and aban-
doned before now in other ages-is good
only as it helps the people of certain
eras understand what Christ did. When
the age outgrows its confession, the
confession is abandoned, as scores of
confessions have been abandoned. The
truth, instead of suffering grows strong
er as each old confession is laid aside.
A confession of faith is merely a crutch
for men to walk to good conduct on.
When a man can throw away his
crutches, or a generation give up its
confession of faith, the faith and the
generation have grown stronger. Truth
is eternal. Our expression and under
standing of truth are matters of time
and environment.
