DEGREES LACK
OF MUTUALITY

OMAHA, April IA plan to make
the Methodist Episcopal church pure
democracy is suggested by Chancellor
H. A. Buchtel of the University of
Denver, and will in all likelihood be
brought before the general conference
at Los Angeles next month. Speaking
here to a gathering of Methodists he
said:
"A new departure is demanded by
our times in Methodisnl-a change of
policy to meet the conditions of the
times. 1t seems to me disgrace that
with membership of over 100000 we
have made a gain of but 100000 in the
last year. Why is it that We have not
made greater gain? A mutuality of
labor by the pastor and the people, will
make the church grow in after time.
I'VE ought to make the church a
pure democracy. The time has past
when we can distrust our people. Each
lay delegate to a general conference
represents about 10000 members. Our
lay representation at the general con-
ference should be equal to the minis
ters. There should be lay representa-
tive from every church In America ac-
cording to it's membership. The lay
representatives should have charge of
the business of the church exclusively,
and the ministers have charge only of
the ministerial functions. If we had
twice as many lay delegates at the
general conference as ministers 1t
would be better for all concerned.
Were this so there would be better sal
aries and they would be better paid
All church officers should be elected
by the congregations. Our Bishops
should be elected at our annual con-
ferences, and missionary bishops should
he native IN tha country where thew
are to serve Our present bishoprics
are but archbishoprics. Practically we
have no Bishops. The Bishops should
be brought into closer contact with the
ministers and the churches. Bishops
should be retired by the age limit at Sc.
6S or 72 years. The general conference
takes itself too seriously. Methodism
is strong in men. We must maintain
our own great educational institutions,
and, above all. we must infuse more
life into our church affairs in accord
with these modern times"

realize that they are TO manufacture
words in competition with a team of

heroes of one intercollegiate and two
Carnot debates, and Sheriffs, a member
Of the last Carnot team. Against this
aggregation of veteran men California
is to send Max Thelen, who has wealth
cred two intercollegiate debates, one
Carnot and one Bonnheim discussion;
Joseph P. ,Lucey, winner of the last
Carnot medal, and Robert L. McWil-
liams,s a youth who has never before
got anything better than alternate on
the Carnot team. From the point of
view of experienced men STANFORD
ought to win out.
Stanford has another advantage from
the point of view of the question. Her
team is TO present the affirmative on d
question that is comparatively easy to
defend. The question is, Resolved,
that in cities of the United States Of
more than 10000 inhabitants system
of municipal government concentrating
the executive and administrative pow
ers in the hands of the Mayor should

The debate is to be judged by three
