and going SO far as to bar from the post offices mail matter intended
for the promoters OF such schemes when they carry on their business
through the express companies.
Why? Well, has it never occurred to YOU that we are in danger of
developing a nation OF gamblers?
Let us look about. The child goes to the store when hardly able
to-isp its wants, and spends its penny for candy, gets a prize, and then
wants to buy more to get more prizes. That's the fascination Of chance
We stood not long ago in a confectionery store when a boy of about
ten years came in with a penny. What will you have?' The reply
came at once: Prize candy" He bought the morse1, unwrapped it,
and found a penny inclosed. That penny was used to buy again. He
got another penny. That went the same as the preceding one, and SO
on until he drew a blank. He then remarked that he had drawn a
nickel one day previously, and was trying for it again. 1t was in
struCtve to watch his face as he drew prize after prize. How earnest
and excited he becane-then the sudden reverse when he lost. l ask
you what is the difference in principle involved in the actions of the
boy at the candy counter and the man at the wheel Of fortune" the
faro table, or the gambling slot machine?
But childhood is not alone affected. In almost every avenue of
business activity some kind Of price, or guessing contest is used. The
practice OF indulging in these seemingly harmless contests has grown
so insidiously that even our best Christian people openly engage in
Them. We believe this is because they have never given a thought to
the evil that turks behind the practice. In the family circle, at the
dinner table, at the social gathering, in the nnarts Of trade, in small
village and great city, you can hear conversations drifting into the
same channel. "Wonder who won such a prize?' Have you
guessed on this or that L expect to put another dollar or two into
that before the contest Closes'
This great government OF ours realizing the dangers ahead, has
made an earnest effort, at the cost Of thousands of dollars of revenue
to do its part toward breaking up the practice. Now let the indvid

endar of events for the day, was the
induction of Senator Fairbanks, OF
Indiana. into the office of the vice
president of the United States in the
senate chamber. The ceremony was
brief and simple to the extent of be-
ing severe. Immediately following the
address and oath of Vice President Fair
banks came the final adjournment of the
Fifty-eighth congress and the beginning
of the special session.
Many other events, such as the swear
ing in of almost 8 third membership
of the senate and various routine duties.
which were in themselves of great im-
port, were thrust into the background
by the impressive ceremonies which pre-
coded. Solemn and yet brief" is the
way the taking Of the oath impressed
the spectators. It consisted of a prom
Use, made with uplifted hand n bowed
head, to perform the duties Of the Of
flee and to support and defend the con-
stitution of the United States. This
was the oath of Office. II it was admin
istered by Senator Frye as president Fro
tempore of the senate. The two officials
stood confronting each other on the ele-
| waited platform on which rests the desk
| of the preceding officer of the senate,
practically on the same spot on which
| all the incoming vice presidents for the
past so years have stood.
Regarding the notables who were
present at the ceremony in the senate,
practically the same p~ersonages were
seen at this event as were present about
an hour later at the Inauguration Of the
president. Every niche and Granny in
the gallery was filled with people. That
section which is generally used private
ly by the senators was turned over to
the executive party n directly oppo-
site that quarter newspaper men wert
busily engaged portraying the scenes
about them. Outside of these two

lace, but the nations chief was not to
come for some moments.
A hush was noticeable in the crowd.
The official entrance was dramatic. All
except those who were participating in
the ceremony were seated. When the
justices of the supreme court, with the
exception Of Chief Justice Fuller.
emerged from between the Corlnthlan
pillars and marched down the sloplng
carpeted aisle to their station they were
greeted with applause. The Justices
wore their robes and skull-caps. Then
came the members Of the diplomatic
corps, in their gorgeous uniforms, and
they evoked thunderOus applause. LED

sadOr and dean Of the corps, and toll
lowed by the others in order Of prece-
dence. they took seats on the right OF
the stand. Strolling in after them came
members of the cabinet, senators and
representatives in congress.
Hush as President Comes.
Following on the heels Of the official
party came Mrs. Roosevelt and a party
Of friends; then, but a moment later, the
new vice president, Mr.. Fairbanks, and
his escort arrived and were greeted by
tremendous bursts of applause. AS soon
as Vice President Fairbanks seated him.
self the cheers ceased, the military pre-
sented arms, every hat in the commit
tees came off and the great ocean OF peo-
pie set up a perfect oar Of cheers, fair
ly shouting itself hoarse.
Quick as a flash every sound waSstilled
n President Roosevelt, quiet and COM
posed Of demeanOr, came from betWeen
the gigantic pillars, escorted by Chief
Justice Fuller. A random burst of
cheers came from the front of the crowd
as with measured tread, in harmony
with the digni1ed step Of the chief JUS
tice, the president advanced in state
down the long aisle of distinguished
guests. By his time all were standing
and nothing could be heard above the
roar of thunderous welcome. lmmedi-
ately following came, arm in arm, the
members of the committee on arrange
nents. AS the president passed down
the aisle he barred his head and with
characteristic sweep of his hat bowed in
acknowledgement of the salutatlons
from the stand and the ovation from the
people.
The man of the hOur was before the
most representative gathering that had
ever assembled to greet the chief execu-
i've of the nation upon a like occasion
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1905-03-11

President Roosevelt's manner was not
that of a man upon whose head fell the
great responsibilities of a nations care.
Three years of experience as chief ex-
~ecutive had changed this man as mucn
as did L%incoln's liberation of the black
man change hat great statesman.
While he waited for the applause to die
out he stood in triumph, with no show
of vanity. with no evidences of political
enmity. apparently no memories of he
campaign gone by, and nothing more
disconcerting than a huge gathering OF
loyal Americans.
Oath Is Administered.
Chief Justice Fuller stepped to the
front of the pavilion constructed espe-
cially for the use Of the president dur
ing the ceremonies, and his clerk came
forward bearing a Bible. A hush, fol-

to call forth cheers, although in some

pressed by constantly arriving recruits,
many struggled to get nearer to the
point of interest. The effect upon the
densely packed multitude was a contin-

The crowd throughout the long wait in

committees and the rich caparisoning

upon cheers greeted the constantly
shifting picture.
AS rapidly as the troops arrived they
took the positions assigned them. The
military escort stretched far to

branches Of the service-hoTse,

history and sociology OF the past in a sense perhaps in which II o other
subject has connection with these topics.
The university is Conessedly the leader n a community which 1t
represents in all lines OF intellectual inquiry. This must include the
subject OF religious education, inasnuch IS this particular subject

The duty OF the university will not be performed unless it make

the university should constitute itself a laboratory IN which there

In connection with this laboratory the university should furnish
opportunity for continuing the religious life begun at home by those
who have changed their residence to the university community. The
responsibility of the university in this particular is all the more grave
because the home is far away, while the church nc longer eNerts It's

Its facts are not history, as they have been considered for the past
10 centuries. Indeed, there is no history in the Bible, because the He
brew never wrote history. There may be material for history, but not
history itself.
The Bible can no longer be considered a text book OF science. 1t
seems strange to us that men should ever have considered it as such.
