lions New Status.

Whether there is much law there is
certainly very little Zionism in Judge
Landis' decision of the Dowie case. The
Judge appears to have viewed it as a
business man or an umpire might, and
to have worked out solution based
partly upon the law governing trust
estates and partly upon the immediate
necessities Of the case. He. finds that
Dowie never owned the property and
never had the right to dispose Of it
since it came to him as trust from the
people who paid in money to Dowie 8
church, just as Methodist or Congre-
gationalist puts money in the collection
plate. He has no bargain with the
church creating trust, but the trust is
presumed and 1t is presumed in the case
Of Zion VS.. Dowie. He finds that Vo-
Iva was guilty Of a breach Of trust in
assigning his power Of attorney from
Dowie to another, for q purpose dis.
tinctly hostile to Dowie. Finally he
finds that Alexander Granger is unfit
by reason Of the oaths he has taken to

North Dakota and the Railroads

The Bismarck Tribune contends that
The Journal has made 'gratul
tous inference' in it's comment on
North Dakota as pro-railroad state.
This was made in connection with the
speech of Chairman E. A. Williams at
the jamestown convention, In which
he declares that those who were antag-
onizing the railroads were enemies to
the progress of the state.
The Bismarck Tribune follows in the
wake of General Williams, in calling
attention to the great things the rail-
roads have done for North Dakota be-
cause the state has not been dominated
by "policy Of antagonism.' 1t is
entirely true that railroad development
has increased the development of North
Dakota farming territory, but it is idle
to say that the railroads have extended
their lines out of any sentiment OF
friendship for the state and the peo-
pie. They built new lines because they
wanted to hold the territory and de de
velop It as. feeding territory for their
respective systems. Every other act of
friendship on the part of the railroads
has had it's justification in bigger gross
and net revenue for the roads. " Any
assignment of other motives by railroad
officials or politicians is pure buncombe.
The state owes the railroads nothing
but fair treatment and the protection
of the laws. The railroads owe the
state fair share of the taxes. They
also owe the people of the state fair
rates and adequate freight and pas
senger service. Whether they dis
charge these obligations fully is a fail
matter for discussion y, Those ,who dc
| not believe the railroad companies arc
doing their full duty .haeea right t.
that opinion, and do not deserve to be
called enemies of the state because they
express such sentiments. Those who in
dulge in such talk lay themselves ope1
to suspicion Of prejudice and bias ii
the other direction.
A fair attitude toward the question
is stated by the Bismarck, Tribune il
I the article referred to. It says:
| There is no question of discrimina
ton in favor of the railroads. On tn
other hand, there should be no Question
of discrimination against them. The.
are part of one business system a
much as the farmer or the elevate
man, or the merchant. They shout
obey wise laws and conform to sensibl
regulations and pay taxes in proper
ton as other persons and interests pa
taxes-no less and no more.
No one can quarrel with such pos
ton. The trouble is in difference O
opinion as to "sensible regulations
and "fair- taxes.' The "machine
faction in North Dakota claims that tn
insurgents want to make unfair e.
; actions of the railroads.; the insurgent
claim on the other hand that the pre-
emit machine is too lenient and suffer
} things to be run just as the railroad
want. Each stands on a platform {
fair play and no discrimination. TIE
> disagreement Is over the concrete del
| milton of those terms.

THE DOUBLE DOCTRINE OF THE
CHURCH OF RoME."-Under that
rather startling title, Baroness Won zedt-
WITT, who as Miss Caldwell Of Washing
ton. D. G., and Louisville, KY, gave lib
orally to the Catholic university at
washington, publishes little book tell
Ing why she renowned the Roman faith.
The book has attracted much attention.
The author says her remuneration is COM
plete and her reason as she gives it,
Is that she failed to find in the Roman
church means Of perfecting character
thru the aid of religion. This, she says,
was due to separation of morals from
religion In the church.
What them" she asks, was to be-
come of the moral code, If ecclesiastical
and moral duty clashed? The first is
law, the second habit, was the reply. The
moral habit IS helpful doubtless to print
tive simple folk, but it is dead and life
less in itself, and often brushes the spirit
No great work was ever done by narrow
moral1sts; for with that rule Of life, we
neither grow nor accomplish
In that quotation the author gives the
essence Of her reason for her change Of
faith. ~ 80

The people OF South Carolina are far
better off today than In 1850. Then there
was practically no diversifcatlon in in
dustry. Agriculture consumed the ener-
giles Of the people and formed almost the
only basis of the states wealth. Today
millions of dollars are invested in manu-
featuring enterprises. The cotton mills
and oil mills are furnishing. The phos-
plate industry is prosperous, and our
farms are being cultivated just as sue
cessfully and more extensively than In
1850. The energies Of the people are well
diversified and the distribution Of wealth
is more in accord with democratic

Too Far.

,AEr:: Edgar, acting as chairman Of the,
relief. committee, has carried his con-.
teIition with the Red. Cross people in
to follow. We have sympathized with
his efforts to prevent the sale OF Min
neapolis flour at sacrifice prices and to
some extent with his complaint Of the
failure to distribute it literally ao-
cording to the desire Of the donors, but
his argument that it is the business OF
such an institution as the Red Cross
to administer charity according to the
direction of the charitable in all cases,
and under all circumstances would de-
stroy every intelligent agency for char
liable work. 1t must be presumed that
such an organization as the Red Cross
at San Francisco has some better con-
ception of the real needs Of the
situation there than charitably dis
posed and generous people thousands
of miles away While the givers OF
relief funds and supplies may prescribe
the manner in which they wish to have
their gifts bestowed, and while the dis
tributing agency may decline to accept
such gifts unless permitted to exercise
it's best Judgment as to how the chart
ty shall be applied, it is carrying the
claim of the right to dictate how ones
gift shall be employed too far to &C
cuse an institution like the Red Cross
of that kind of breach of trust which
should land the officers of that society
behind the bars. That is a bit OF ex-
aggeration and extravaganza of state
ment to which the chairman of the
committee is prone, and it is not likely
that the people Of this city will alto
gether enjoy being placed in the atti-
tude of ;" denouncing the head OF the
Red Cross work in San Francisco as
guilty of an offense calling for prison
sentence. Nor will they approve the
suggestion that hereafter the Red Cross
is to be regarded as unworthy of con
fdence. For ourselves, at least, we re-
greet this outburst of incorporate Ian
guage and the mania for saying things
which has carried the chairman of the
relief committee beyond the bounds OF
prudence and good Judgment on Other
occasions besides this one.
