FORT WORTH, TEXAS, May a5.--The
Southern Presbyterian General Assem-
blv adjourned tonight without having
taken a vote on the question OF federa-
ton with other branches of the Presby-
5terian Church, nearly all the evening
session having been taken up With an
argument by DR.. e. r. Hemphill, OF
I ,oi,isvile KY, who favored co-operation.
Rey. Eugene Daniel, D. D., Of the
SYNOD OF Virginia, leading the opposition,
delivered a very able speech on the sub
iect this afternoon, contending that II
was to constitute q new ecclesiastical
body unknown to the constitution Of the
Church; that this new, powerful body was
to have no standard Of religion, bringing
together a Calvinistc church and an
other church which denounces Calvinism
as fatalism that this proposed federation
was originated by DR.. Joseph II. Smith.
of Baltimore, In 1894 and the Federal
government OF the United States was
his IDEAL how to give autonomy to
churches. DR.. Daniel closed with an Inn
FASHIONED declaration of his love for
his own Church and his desire Ito SEQ
her live on.
Dr.. J.. s. Lyons, of Louisville. KY
replied, urging the benefits to be had
in such federation.
Many other speeches followed pro and

elders participated largely in the debate,
three able judges following each other
with strong speeches.

beSnade and kept equal to every need.

UP TO GOVERNOR FOLK.

Governor Folks efforts to reform
the race track evil at st. Louis. are be-
ing seriously embarrassed by the sher-
if and prosecuting; attorney of ST.
Louis county, who refuse to obey the
express directions Of the governor to
raid the tracks where violations of the
law are alleged to be open and motor
ious Sheriff Hertel is quoted in ex-
PLANTATION of his refusal as saying that
he does not believe in raids, and init
mating that if the governor sends mill
the troops are likely to be shot down.
Governor Folk met the refusal of the
st. Louis county officials to obey his
orders by the Characteristic statement
that the law would be enforced by
state authority If necessary and that
steps would be forthwith taken to re-
move the contumacious sheriff and his
pal, the county attorney.
The outcome of the fight between the
by the governor, will be watched with
intense interest. Race track conditions
in st. Louis are indicative of the
depths to which the sport of kings"
has been degraded by the gambling
syndicates, that nowadays practically
control most of the race courses. Horse
racing in ST. Louis has descended to
the level of a graft, catch-penny
Continuance whereby gamblers may

Grahams Extract started out by be-
ing something that you could make

fore Jim had been fooling with it a
month he had got his girl to think up
a hundred different ways in which it
could be used. and had advertised
them all. 1t seemed there was nothing
you could cook that didn't need a dash
Of 1T. He kept me between chill and
a sweat all the time. Sometimes, but
not often, just had to grin at his fool
ishness. remember one picture he got
out showing sixteen COWS standing be-
tween something that looked like a
letter press and telling how every
pound or so of Graham's Extract con-
tanned the juice squeezed from herd
Of steers. II an explorer started for
the north pole, Jim would send him
case Of extract and then advertise that
it was the great heat maker for cold
started across Africa, he sent him a
case, too, and advertised what q bully
drink it was served up with little ice.
He broke out in new place every
day, and every time he broke out ii
cost the house money. Finally l made
up my mind to swallow the loss, and
Mister Jim was about to lose his job
sure enough when the orders for ex-
tract began to look up. and he got q
reprieve. Then he began to make ex-
penses. and he got pardon. and final
ly rush came that left him high and
dry in permanent place.
Jim was all right in his way, but 1t
was new way, and | hadn't been
broad gagged enough to see that it was
better way.
That was where caught the connec-
ton between college education and
business. I've always made it a rule to
buy brains, and I've learned now that
the better trained they are the faster
they find reasons for getting their sal
aries raised The fellow who hasn't
had the training may be just as smart,
but he's apt to paw the air when he's
reaching for ideas.
