AS a matter of fact, Billy Phyle
isn't entitled to much sympathy in
his present predicament. He made
charges against baseball manage
ment which, if sustained, would
have been a lasting black eye against

Special Correspondence to The Press.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. %
The overhauling which has begun in
the department of agriculture will be
sure to develop other irregularities,
if not gratis.
The trouble with the department
of agriculture is lack of executive
control. 1t has been running for a
number of years with scarcely any
regulation Spending yearly upward
of s6,700,00O, the big scientific bu-
reaus of which it is made up have
had practically no regulation or
oversight.
Secretary Wilson is a man of I'M
doubted integrity. He is not a good
executive. His chief lieutenant,u
to June "a, 1904, Assistant Secretary
Jos. II. Brigham, rendered him no
efficient aid in this regard. Col.
Brigham was appointed for political
reasons by President Mckinley. 1t
Is an open secret that in the posi-
ton of assistant secretary of agri-
culture he was only in the way.
Secretary Wilson was often away
from Washington. During cam
paigns and for a considerable pc
RODS before and after, it has been
his custom to take the stump among
| the farmers. In fact, it has come
to be an almost recognized part of
his official duties to travel about the
country, addressing oranges and
farmer organizations. During the
short periods when he was in Wash
ington he could not get into any
very close touch with the big de-

GET BUSY IN The HEAD
b PRUDENCE MANNEN.


The meanes thing woman can do
is to give dabs. A dab. lest ssome
man creature should inquire, is a re-
mark implying a slight-just enough
of a slight to hurt, without being suf-
ficient to resent. The giving of dabs
is an essentially feminine trait; and
one woman may make another eX-
ceedingly unhappy by exhibiting it,
The reason men do not give dabs
is because they have been about
enough to see the foolishness Of it.

in a benevolent and kindly way.
and has let things run under a loose
rein
But the danger and the weakness
arises from the fact that everything
depends on the personal integrity of
the men who chance to be at the
heads of the various bureaus. Even
in their expenditure of money they
were not required to make any de-
tailed or full reports to the secre-
tary.
Along with the growth and indie
pendence of the big bureaus there
arose jealousness among the various
bureau heads, and these jealousies
resulted in secrecy as to the doings
of the various bureaus. The bug
bureau, finding that an appropria-
ton of half a million might be made
to fight the cotton boil weevil, and
wanting that sum for themselves,
would work and lobby against the
plant breeding bureau, or vice versa,
for fear the other scientists might
be the ones selected to expend that
money.
The weakness in the office of as
sistant secretary of agriculture has
been mended. A year ago Col. Brig
ham died, and after the office had
been vacant for several months, the
president appointed Prof. Willett M.
Hays, of the Minnesota State Uni
versity department of agriculture,
to that position. Prof Hays Is
young and has vigor and experience.

If the worst man in the world drops money into the
contribution plate when it passes him in the church we
can not and will not refuse it, 1t is the spirit
that prompts the offering that hold we have right to
question If a who, it is generally supposed, has
made his money by methods gnown to be wrong, soic
tied by religious denomination, am opposed to It,
Another evil feature the ostentaon and publicity at
tendant upon such donations. If who has amassed
millions by of what generally held to be dshOn
practices gives up those millions to education relg
on it is given the widest publicity. The beneficiary then
is placed in the attitude of recognizing the unsavoIy nd
Ndua and shutting its to what he has done and do
ing church not afford to be in league, directly Or
indirectly with such men.
The of the whole question in Dr. Gladden's view
is this: Churches and colleges do wrong when they solicit
"tanted money! and then exploit the gift And he is
right If the rich mans conscience leads him to give to
church charity let his gift be received the poor mans
gift is received Take heed that We do not your aims be-
fore men, is the Christian doctrine. 'Do not sound
trumpet before thee the hypocres (and multimlon-
aires) do in the synogogues and in the Streets
The spectacle of the church on it's knees begging aims
from the rich who has robbed his fellow is hui
initiating And the world has that spectacle Giving
in the Christian sense and definition is matter of ndvid
ua conviction And it is extremely bad taste to make
fuss the gifts Of the rich 1t is opposed to the spirit
of the Gospel.
The danger to the modern church is that it should lay
too much emphasis upon money In It's anxiety to carry
forward its great enterprises it is likely to forget that
is not 'by might power but by my spirit saith the
Lord 1t really fortunate that the church has Peter
who is brave enough to say to those who would buy its
favor, "1hy money perish with thee.' The CHURCH
CAN GET ALONG WITHOUT THE GIFTS OF THE
RICH BETTER THAN IT CAN WITH THEM. 1t is
proven by history. The supreme victories of Christianity
made by the church when it poor.
There is such thing running the influence of the
leaders should
that the only for the existence of this great nst
ton among is that of its ability to besow spiritual
gifts Men look the church because of their spiritual
needs. They not awed helped by stately cathed
rails That age is past. And by too much nssence upon
money the church may induce the belief that its progress
is dependent upon money.
Dr. GLADDEN. is right Spiritual things must not be
commerciazed. Men and women should not be driven
from the church because of nstency upon money The
show and publicity that attaches to the gifts of the rich
leads disgust in the minds and hearts of men and wo-
men who think rightly and feel rightly.

AUBURN, Neb., Oct. 2O.-(Special Tele-

a verdict for the defendant. The grounds
upon which the court based this order
were that the evidence was insufficient
TO sustain verdict Of guilty. When the
case was in both sides relied upon the
same state of facts for a verdict and these
facts were entirely consistent with the in
nocence Of the defendant, This being the
case it was the evident duty OF the court
to direct the verdict that it did. Thus

There are several other cases of the same
character pending against him in Johnson
