REGARD ACTION
AS CONSISTENT
Unitarians Not Surprised at Views of
Inter-Church Committee.
REV. DR.. SAVAGE SARCASTIC
REVIVAL OF THE IDEAS OF THE
MIDDLE AGES.

New York, oct. 12.-Rev. DR.. Minot J.
Savage, of the Church of the Messiah,
Unitarian, said today that the executive
committee Of the inter-chuTch conference
on federation, which is to be held IN
this city next month. were as consistent
in voting TO exclude representatives Of
the Unitarlans from the conference as
were the Catholics who burned Pro-
testants and Protestants who muir
dered Catholics in the middle ages. Rev.
DR.. Savage said:
Acted Consistently.
That such action has been taken
caused no surprise. Those who assert
that belief in the divinity of Christ IS
all-tmpOrtant TO salvation are at least
consistent IN excluding US from their
work OF saving mankind. This we have
10 admit. They are consistent, just as
were Catholics in the middle ages. Dis
belief meant eternal ruin, therefore cut
II out, root and branch; Kill the body, If
necessary, but check its spread. 1T was
consistent was il not? But don't you
think il is rather late to be living up
TO such ideals of consistency?
And even consistency itself gets mud
died now ana then, as, Tor instance, IN
the treatment accorded To our Unitarian
young men in the Y. NJ. c. A. That
organization is anxious that they should
come in; IL takes their money, but III
return it is forced by its consistent pur-
pose to deny them the voice IN its man
agemenL the vote in regard TO its at
fairs that is given to young men Of other
churches. "
A Liberal View.
DR. Donald Sage Mackay, member Of
the executive committee of the inter-
church federation. said Of the eAciu-
sion:
Such action could not properly be TAX
en- by such a body as this inter-churCh
federation. This is not legislative body.
1t has not even a substitute committee
to pass on dOctrinal qualifications. II
simply is a body which has invited Chris
tian churches 70 send Representatives TO
discuss methods of spreading still fur
Their the gospel of righteousness.
The UnitarianS say they are Chris
tians and desire to join i'm the work.
What can any such conference as this
do but take their word for il and admit
them? Lots of us accept them as Chris
tians. | know that / do, most emphatt-
call.
Many of us feel deeply the debt We
owe TO Charming. and we are anxious
To have the UnitaTans at the conference.
The action taken was nonsensiCal, in my
opinion.

WHO BUILDS THE wALKsY
Real Estate Agent Richter Bumps
into the PUBLIC Records.

Prompted by a statement of a. Rich
ter in the Fourth ward American party
convention TO the effect that the Real
Estate association and not the admin
istratiOn was responsible for the side
walk improvements of the past two
years, City Recorder J. S. Critchlow yes
terday looked up the records on the point.
He found that of four or five petit
tons presented by the Real Estate as
ISOLATION only one petition related 10
sidewalks That petition asked the coun-
ell 10 hasten the work on Fourth ward
extensions provided for by an ordinance
introduced by Councilman Hartensteln.
The petition specifically referred TO the
ordinance as having been introduced by
Mr.. Hartenstein. Mr.. Richter was one
of the signers of the petition. when
merely related 10 W0Sl in which Mr..
Hartenstein had taken the initiative.
The search of the records was rem
dered 4 simple task by the fact that
the index of the city council proceedings
has been kept up TO date during the
past two years. which had not been the
case during several preceding administra-
tons.

KNUDsoN AND THE KNOCKERS.
Purchase of Power Right Provided
For at First.

r. Knudson's power right IN the Big
Cottonwood is the last mares nest to be
discovered by the knockers.
The purchase OF the KnudsOn power
right and every other power right in the
Big Cottonwood was provided for in the
address to the citizens at the time Of the
bond election last winter. The sum of
S5o.O00 was set aside for the purchase OF
such rights. 1t was known at that time
by every person I'm the city who had
taken interest in the matter that this
power right was TO be acquired. II had
been discussed in the city council, and
I'm every other place where discussions
of the water project were held.
In the beginning Mr.. knudsOn demand
ed $4,000 for his power right. His de-
maud was laughed AT by Mayor Morris
and those acting with him in securing the
Big Cottonwood for the city. It is I'M
derstOOd that the owner of this mill right
has since come down in his demand to
$4,000 or $4,000. The administration has
considered the proposition of securing
this water right by condemnation pro-
ceedingS. Experts have placed the Valu-
alton of $1,000 on the mill An electric
wire runs near the mill and electric
power could be substituted for the water
power at a nominal cost.
All this has been discussed so many
times that there would be nothing new in
IL for a biennial publication. The secur-
ing of this knudsOn right is a trifling in
ctdent in the general water scheme OF
The administration.

There has been more or less canvassing
done by the representatives Of all parties
already. The radicals IN the American
movement are OutspOken as To what they
propose TO do but the canVaSsers find II
difficult to get definite information from
a large majority of the voters. There Is
a degree of independence seldom seen in
campaigns In recent years. Old party
lines are cutting little figure in the fight.
The record OF Mayor Morris administra-
ton: the issues injected by the Amer
leans and the character of the opposing
candidates furnish the topics for discus
sion. The water problem is coming in
for wide discussion.
