History of Division.

Briefly. the history of the division that
has been abrogated by today's proceedings
follows:
In 1910 the Cumberland Presbyterian
church was organized in Dickson county
tennessee, by three Presbyterian ministers
who had withdrawn from the Presbyterian
church on February OF that year. The
division arose concerning the extreme doc
trine OF predestination and certain other
questions of practices In ordination Of min.
isters who did not fully conform 10 class.
icaI standards of the Presbyterian church.
those who protested insisting that the ex-
igencies of frontier life demanded occa-
slonal exceptions to the established rule.
Numerous efforts TO unity the two church
bodies made since that time have failed.
Every effort in this direction was fruit
less until the revision by the Presbyterians
OF their confession OF faith in 1903 opened
the way Immediately following this a
general committee was appointed by each
church 10 formulate a basis uDon which 70
effect union. These committees met In
st Louis two days ago and began the steps
that were completed today, the ultimate
results OF which will be the union Of the
two churches in name and in fact

Thos G Mcleod for Lieu
tenant Governor.

While the different newspapers
throughout the State are announcing
the possibility of different men run
ming for different offices IN the elec-
tion next year, We wish to suggest to
the voters of the State the name of
Senator Thos G Mcleod of Lee
costnty as most suitable one for
the office of Lieutenant Governor.
Mr. Mcleod is man well qualified
in all respects fol this office. He is
old enough to be wise and conserva-
tive and he is young enough to be
energetic and progressive. In the
private walks of life he is a success
full business man, being known as a
man of brains and character, while
in public life he is considered by
those who know him, to be of sound
judgment and broad views. His edu-
cation and training eminently fit him
for public duty, being an honor grad
nate of Wofforl college and having
served in the General Assembly for
a number of years with distinguished
success. He is Christian gentle
man, a successful business man and
a public servant of unimpeachable
reputation.

High Finance.
reputation.

Investigations and exposures of
the last few years have enabled the
public to take a measure of the
ethics of high finance. In 1896 it
was assumed by the 'sound money
advocates that a great : financier
was the very embodiment of patri-
otism, honor and business integrity,
but this idol has been widely shat
tered. First came the shlpbuilding
trust investigation. That showed
that number of money magnates
formed a conspiracy to deceive the
public and that few of th- consplr-
ators formed an inner circle cOnsplr-
acy to take advantage of the rest of
the conspirators. Then came the
Munroe & Munroe investigation.
That showed that the second vice
president of the largest bank in the
United States was in Il syndicate
formed to fleece the pnblic through
"wash-sales. Then Lawson came
forward with his story duplicating
the president Of the largest bank
and leading spirit of the Standard
Oil trust in a gigantic fraud. Fol-
lowing this the Equitable squa6ble
bring to light Il riot of criminal
misuse of trust funds which has
startled the country. And dnrlng
this period of investigation Miss
Tarbell has given us history of the
lawlessness of the oil trust. Mr. Rus
sell has shown up the methods OF
the beef trust, and the interstate
commerce commission has revealed
the rebate practices of the railroads.
Hel. we have bankers, railroad mag
mates, promoters, manufacturers and
spectators all yieing with each

offend both statute and moral law
What shall we say of the business
ethics of these men who are actually
engaged inf exploitation or who lend
their names to exploiters and draw
salaries for doing nothing: When
one is condemned his defense is that
"others do the same''-a defense
offered by the president for not pun
ishing one of his cabinet. Larceny

SALT LAKE WATER.

The buoyancy Of the wate- of the
Great Salt Lake is such that it is al
Dnost impossible for a person to remain
in 1t. his body being lifted as a strip
of wood thrown into the water at
vertical or obIique direction Ike dart
is returned TO the surface in a hori-
zontal position IN fact. It is believ ID
that the Great Salt Lake will support
more weight to a given volume of
water than even the Dead Sea It is
very popular resort with bathers for
the reason that it is impossible for
person to drown unless he should deiib-
erately place his head under the sur
face or tie a weight to his feet. The
batheT can float upon the wafer lying
on his back or chest and keep his
head entirely above the surface with
no effort Of the arms or legs. The large
quantity Of salt in solution is the prin-
cipal reason for the buoyancy. While
the bnoyancy OF the water is so great
that II will support a person without
aid, the boats which are designed to
be used upon the lake must be con-
feature. The ordinary wooden vessel
when empty Is actually too light TO be
navigated with safety upon It, since
such small portion of it would be i'm
meTsed. Therefore care has to be taken
in building sailboats especially lest they
be top heavy, for this reason navigation
is very dangerous on the lake when the
wind IS blowing even moderately unless
the vessel is loaded SO that il sits deep
enough In the water to counteract the
buoYant tendency. The quantity Of salt
held in solution is so great that it f.,
dangerous for one to swallow even a
mouthful of the water, es 1t Is liable to
cause stranguiatioh. Several deaths
from this cause have ensued among
persons who have ventured into the
! iake.-Cham Journal
