1t brought about cooperation without
complete loss of independence and mani
tested a disregard of some very impor-
tant questions of order and discipline.
Well may DR.. Palmer, in reviewing this
condition, say cut supra. T. 194), In
the history of the Church laxity of doc
trine is always sure to accompany con-
tempt of discipline and order"
A similar method of reasoning and
judging was exhibited in bringing about
the reunion of Old and New Schools in
the Northern Presbyterian Churches,
and has shown itself, more recently. in
the negotiations for and contamination
of the union between the Northern Pres
byterian and Cumberland Churches. In
the case of the reunion of the Old and
New Schools it is questionable (as DIR.
Morris, ex-moderator of the Northern
Presbyterian Church, in his history of
the New School Church has been quot
ed as writing) whether any real
increase of efficiency in the work
of the Church was secured by
that union. The statistics seem
to show that the growth of the
united body did not equal the rates of
added together.
The above and similar instances that
might be cited at least make us hesitate
to accept the opinion that the indications
OF Providence now all point to the
necessity for closer relations. We ought
not to forget that God in His providence
sometimes seeks to test the faith and
obedience of His people and not there
by to make known His will. ITO the
law and to the testimony we must go
to learn that will. After all is not this
the true statement of this whole ques-
ton of following the leadings OF Pro-
violence, the one party holds the opinion
that they see Gods will in these out
ward conditions, while the other party,
with equal confidence hold the opinion
that they do not see that will thus de-
ciaIed?
There are dangers accompanying this
effort to bring about ''Closer Relations,
that ought to be looked fairly in the
face. me is tempted to ask if the
terms of cooperation already agreed
upon in the Assemblies and in some
SynOdS and Presbyteries are not always
fully observed or worked out satisfact-
Orlly, what assurance can be given that
under the proposed new terms OF coop
Grafton, they will be more fully observed
or worked out any better? In view OF
the disposition heretofore shown and
recently in Tennessee, in regard to the
minority of the Cumberland Presbyter-
ian Church, to call in the aid of the
civil power, is there no danger in put
ting all of our Church property and en-
terprises under the control of the Pres
byterian Church U. S. A? For be it
remembered that under the decision in
the Walnut Street church case, so fully
endorsed and adopted by the Northern
Presbyterian Church, all the property
aud enterprises of the church would be
placed under the control of the domin-
ant church; and, if the Charlotte
Agreement" becomes effective without
a change in the basis OF representation,
the Northern Presbyterian Church will
always dominate the body created by
that Agreement.

SECRETARY MAY COME ~

Washington, July 7.-Secretary Will
son is to have no summer vaca tion,
but will spend all the heated term in
svestigating conditions in. the packing
districts of the middle west as pre-
.liminary to the going into effect of the
new meat inspection law. He started
for Chicago today, and will remain
there until he has gone over the pack
ling house question thoroly. He does not
know where he will go from Chicago,
but admits frankly that he will 90
wherever it may seem necessary, wheth-
er it is to Kansas City, St. Joseph,
Omaha or South st. Paul, or to all Of
them. .,'-...., - --. : 8.
The secretary wants to correct the
impression created by newspaper par
agraph which states that between 300
and 400 meat inspectors are to be ap-
pointed. The number will probably not
exceed $50 to 300. There are several
inspectors already in government serv-
ice. They will be retained and given
the good positions, paying all the way
from 81 400 to $4,000.
The new men will follow the meat
thru the packing houses, but need have
no know edge Of veterinary science The
present inspectors are all veterinari-
ans of wide experience and approved
ability. The new men must be familiar
with the butcher $ business. They will
start at 81 900 year. -

Nellie Collins, the little girl who did
such creditable work as Cissie Denver
in the presentation of "The Silver
King' by the Ralph Stuart company
at the Lyceum last week, is an actress
with five years Of stage experience, de-
spite the fact that she is but 8 years
old. o.
Her first appearance was made with
her father, Eddie Collins, comedian
we'll known and liked in Minneapolis,
when she was but three years old. Since
then she has appeared at intervals in
child parts and today carries herself
with ease and assurance while before
the footlights. With all her stage ex.
perience Miss Nellie has lost none of
the charm Of childhood and her stage
work is pleasing. y.
Nellie is a Minneapolis pirl. Her
mother is known to the vaudeville stage
as Matte Mart. Her daughter has ap.
peared in child parts on several occa
sions, but her greatest success was
scored last week when she played the
diff<llt role of Sissie Denver in a way
which won the appreciation of all who
saw her. - - - - =

Attorney General Rules that While

Women of Minneapolis can have no

park hea<I candidates they are asked
h6ELip to eject ~
This is the ruling of the attorney
general who is authority for the state
ment that women cannot, under the
present primary law, vote at the pri-
mary election, This fact has become
known to many of the women voters
in this and other parts of the state,
and there is loud protest. 1t is as
serted that the law is unjust and illegal.
since it discriminates against the wom-
en- voters. 1t is proposed to prepare
test case, and have the supreme court
pass upon the validity of the law.
How Primary Law Works.
A discussion of the injustice of the
law has been raised locally by the can.
didacy of Louise c. Keyes for the of.
fee of school director. 1t is argued
that the women are more interested
than anyone else in the conduct of the
public schools, and in recognition Of
this they have been given the right to
vote for school directors. Notwith-
lowed the privilege of voting for the
nomination of the candidate they want
or of having any voice in saying whose
names shall be placed on the official
ballot to be voted for at the general
election in November.
In the event that the candidate whom
a majority of the women voters favor
fails to receive the nomination, there
is no way her name can be placed on
ent candidate, she must go to the eX-
pense and labor of getting up petit
tion signed by something over two
thousand voters.

LETTER TO GOVERNOR JOHNSON
GIVES NO INFORMATION.
Californian Executive Explains that
Disposal Of Minneapolis Shipment
Was Made Without Consulting Him
by a Committee He Did Not Name,
, Hence He Is Out of Controversy.

Governor George G. Pardee of Cali
fornia has written letter to Governor
johnson, which was received yester-
day afternoon, and in which he prac-
tically washes his hands of the trouble
over the sale Of Minneapolis -four in
San Francisco. In replying to Gov
ernor Johnson s protest, Governor Par
dee writes from Sacramento as follows:
"John A. Johnson. Governor of Min

"My Dear Governor: Returning to
my office today (July 81 after an alb
sence of week from the capitol: I re-
ceived your dispatch of June 20, in
which YOU called my attention to the
protest made by the citizens of Min
neapolis against the sale of flour which
was given for distribution among the
destitute sufferers in San Francisco. -
"The very generous gift Of the citi-

that every Californian will regret that
anything should have occurred to cause
disappointment or to provoke criticism.
Governor Not Consulted.
"But the question, what should be
done with the flour, was one which ]
had no part in dec ciding. The relief
committee was appointed by the mayor
of San Francisco and afterwards it as
sociated itself with the National Red
