WYOMING wooLGRowERs.
State Convention Splits on Subject of
Forest Reserves.

The second day of the wyoming
woolgrowers' convention at Cheyenne,
met at 9 o'clock this morning with a
large attendance, says the Denver
Post of Thursday. Interest in the
meeting is increasing and before the
close of the convention there will
doubtless be number of hot fights
over important topics. Already the
woolgrowers are in a tangle over the
proposition of grazing on the forest
reserves.
Some of the biggest sheepmen favor
admitting larger numbers of sheep to
the reserve and providing for the pay
ment of $50 per band therefor.
Opponents of the plan say it will
prove the undoing of the small owners
and that in time the government will
ask rentals for every acre of grazing
lands no matter whether on the plains
or in the reserves.
At today's session there were heated
debates on this proposition. In the
morning President Tisdel addressed
the convention briefly. Prof. B. C
Buffum delivered an address or

REVIvALs IN SEATTLE.
Chapman Meetings Are Bearing Fruit
on the Sound.

The Chapman spirit is beginning to
sway the hearts of the big congrega-
tions that gather at the different
evangelical meeting places to listen
to the famous band of revivalists, says
the Seattle Star.
The First Presbyterian church was
packed Thursday night and the huge
audience was in perfect spirit with
the religious wave that swept over
them as DIR. Chapman exhorted his
hearers to join the ranks Of the saved.
And only the renowned evangelist
himself, prevented the entranced au-
dience from falling under the spell
of religious frenzy.
In the after meeting, at which more
than half the people remained, the
famous revivalist led his hearers up
to almost a climax of spiritual enthu-
siasm. Hands were raised on every
side by the repentant, scores of mem
bership cards were filled out and sent
in to the altar.
During the last heart-thrilline
prayer DR.. Chapman worked hi:
hearers up to keen pitch, and the
sobs and muttered supplications Of
many were audible.
Fifteen minutes more would hav'
witnessed a scene unparalleled in th'
history of Seattle's revivals.
In all my religious work never be
fore witnessed such a demonstration
of desire on the third night of a cru
sade, said DIR. Chapman, after tn
meeting.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-04-19

The sensation searchers have en-
deavored to put a venal phase on the
action of the secretary of the interior
and the director of the geological sur
vey in securing special railroad rates
for the material used in the con-
struction of government irrigation
works in the West.
Comptroller Tracewell of the treas
ury department holds that the trans
action is in opposition to the inter-
state commerce act, in that 1t violates
the rebate clause. Secretary Hitch
cock and Director walcott of the geo.
logical survey have been acting in
this matter entirely in the interests
of the irrigation farmers and they
maintain withal that they are entire-
iy within the Law while the reduced
rates arranged with the railroads en-
able contractors to do the work
cheaper than otherwise. In fact, the
government specifications particular
ly call attention to the reduced trans
portation rates in order that the gov.
ernment may get the benefit of the
lowest bids. The matter is to be re-
ferred to the attorney general.
It is to be hoped that the specia
railroad rates can be allowed as de-
sired by the interior department
which now has under project works

The, I b First Law I.
Case: as

The Bible has been studied
almost exclusively by theolo.
glans and rarely BY lawyers,
says David Werner Amram, d
member Of the Philadelphia bar.

aspects Of the Bible records.
This field, he declares, has
hitherto been practically ignor-
cd but all attention TO it will

ing the development Of courts of
law and their procedure, In
dealing with the story of Adam
and Eve the author starts with
the assumption Of its unhistori-
cal character, but lays stress
upon the suggestions Of legal
procedure ard substa ntiye law
rejecting, as he AYERS. "the
views OF the people among
whom the legend was current
and by whom it was finally re.
duced to writing. In this case
he says, we see the patriarch
exercising his power and
authority in conducting a judi
cial investigation, His method
OF examination is capricious. and
in inilicting punishment he does
not hesitate to modify the ! law
which he himself has laid down,
for in the early patriarbhal
society, as in ancient Rome, the
law Of the family was the vii, Of
the patriarch In his expos;-
ton of the case the author says !:
The tirst question to be de-
termined is, what crime was
committed and what was the
relative degree of guilt of the
three Offenders? Since the com
mand not to eat of the tree had
been given to Adam alone, he,
strictly speaking. was the only
lawbreaker. The woman, a'tho
her talk with tho serpent implies
that she also was bound to obey
his command, was, strictly
speaking, merely an accessory
before the fact. The serpent
was only morally responsible
and, as It's only fault was in in
ducing Eve TO eat OF the tree; il
was legally guilty of no olIense
at all, If Eve had not induced
Adam to do the same, no crime
would have been committed; sc
that the serpent's action is seen
to have been merely the remote
cause OF Adams breach Of the
law
Such nice distinctions. how,
ever, did not exist in the state
of society and the system oi
jurisprudence reflected by tht
story the author points out
God tries the case in the,mannef
of the oriental tribal ehieftain,
and the pcrsons represented BY
Adam, Eve, and the serpent arc

whose conduct is under investi-
gatlcn by him. The aathol
thus comments upon the manner

The principal offender. Adam,

r.
fronted his Judge he sho wed
obvious signs of guilt The
legend states that after Adam
and Eve had transgressed, their
eyes were opened and they
knew that they were naked
This Is tile belated wisdom OF
the cisiminal after the crime has
been committed.
Adam admitted his guilt but
pleaded.subtly and boldly, The
woman whom thou gayest to be
withme, she CAV. me of the tree
and I-did eot. He thus Indirect
ly charges God Himself with be-
ing responsible for the crime in
having placed the tempter BY
his side in the form Of Il woman
whOm,iie had given him to be
his wife; and IL may be that this
fact was considered by the juage
subsequently IN passing SEN
teuce, for it will be re membered
that. altho the punishment Tor
Adams transgression was tc
have been death, there evidently
were mitigating circumstances
which, in the mind Of the Judge.
warranted a lesser punishment :
In considering the sentences
passed upon the offenders, the
author points out that the ser.
pent, being condemned unheard,
has the same status as the slave
in the f.atriarchal household, and,
tho the least offender. receives
the greatest punishment,
"since it's moral obliquity sets in
motion the series Of causes
which resulted in the breach of
the law" He continues.
THE oflense of. the serpent
was q species Of seduction
which made it possible for Eve to
become an accessory to Adam $
crime and its punishment was
clearly excessive. Altho it had
been more subtle than any
beast of the field and had been
permitted to hold free intercourse
with its human companions, it
was now degraded below every
beast of the field. condemned to
crawl on its belly, eat dust, aud
be i'll a state OF perpetual warfare
with the human species. Thus
| for some trivial otlense the house
save of the patriarch might be
degraded below the most menial
slave of the field, The punish.
mept of Eve was Likewise exces.
aive; her solicitude for her hus.
band led her, unsclfishlv enough
to want him to participate III the
enjoyment OF her new-found d
pleasure. Adam was legally and
'masn,ly the rsnl offender, The
c'nnt.and had peen laid upon him
dimctly, aud he broke it in yield
ing most weakly to temptation.
Yet in spite OF this. the woman,
who had been his equal, was. now
made his subordinate, "r"hy de-
sire shall be to thy husband, and
hd shall, rule over thee. The
! real offender was by this decree
elevated above the comparatively
Innocent cause of his crime.
According to the original com
mandment, the punishment for
Adams transgression was death
for in The day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die.
Yet in sentencing Adam the law
was not strictly applied, for. in.
stead of being condemned to death
he I. was condemned to work
for a living, and it seems that
part,of The wisdom Of the serpent
consisted IN its ability to antici.
pate this, forrwhen the woman
told the serpent that God had
said, 'Ye shall not eat Of it,

OF course that salary limit will-o'-

the swapps it is an utter impossibility
to catch It, 1t is the height OF alb
surdity to try to imagine that the peo-
pie of New Orleans will support any
thing under Sc. 500. and 1t Is equally
positive that the people of Montgomery
will not. 1t has been demonstrated
that in Birmingham. Atlanta and Mem
phis 1t takes a pretty fast team to get
adequate support, leaving Nashville.

with the cheap team proposition. 1t
is not so certain that this latter town

of Shreveport has the baseball franchise
of that town for Ave more years and he
cannot be forced to give II up unless
he wants to.
Shreveport, for a number of years
past. has been n great loss both to 1T
self and to visiting teams. A travelling
salesman from Shreveport who was in
Montgomery few days ago said that
The had 1t straight that Captain Craw-
ford was getting very tired of losing
money year after year, and that while
there was nothing official 1t seemed GER
tain that he would give up the Shreve-
port franchise at the coming meeting.
The franchise will be transferred
either to Mobile or Chattanooga, most
probably the former. as 1t is right on
the line of New Orleans. Montgomery.
Birmingham and Nashville Besides
being more inaccessible than Mobile,
Chattanooga has never supported a
team in anything like paying shape.
That was why the Chattanooga fran
chise was transferred to Montgomery
in December, 1902.
Bob Gilks. IT is rumored. will manage
the Memphis team in 1906. and IL the
franchise goes from Shreveport to Mo-

KAvANAUGH ISSUES CALL.

For League Meeting which Will BE In
Memphis on Nov. 25.
Little Rock. Nov. IA call was
issued today by President Kavanaugh
for the annual meeting of the Southern
League in Memphis November %, at
which the 1908 pennant will be award
ed to the New Orleans Club and the af-
fairs of the league for the past season
will wind UP. Manager Charley Frank
of New Orleans, as winner of the pen
nant. had the right to designate the
place of meeting and originally chose
Little Rock, but owing to several rea-
sons, chief of which is that Memphis
is only nights ride from all the cities
comprising the circuit, the meeting
place was changed
