Hoosier L.E..l. 4nere is bitter contro
 yersy on this point between the towr
 of Madison, his home. and Louisville
 Ky, Madison claiming that Charlie wal
 born in Louisville and Louisville thai
 he was born in Madison"
 The shrieks Of glee with which this quip was hailed brought Mir. filling te his feet with the retort. At least was not born in Kentland. Ind.,' which as, persion upon his birthplace MT. Ade passed by in order to asseverate with solemnity that in Indiana mo farm hand who did not own an automobile ever attempted to break into society,""
 Mfr. Ade also related pathetic little tale of his journalistic days when he and McCutchton and kenesaw NJ. Ian. dis, now United States judge, went to a town to write up threatened lynch ing. They were afraid there would be a blot on the fair name of the state and a good story for the morning papers. "Landis.' said Ade. finally was afraid there would be no blot and urged Mo Cutcheon to start something. McCutch- con got on dry goods box and shout ed, Give h., a determined man and the sheriff started for him. and we all started for Lafayette" MT. Ade said that was the way he and McCutcheon and Landis came to go to Chicago. where the people were more easily worked than anywhere else
 Wilbur D. Nesbit followed with an affirmation that William Shakespeare was an Indiana poet who. like Ade. produced his plays away from home. with good reason" and that Andrew Carnegie had built libraries in every hamlet in order that there might be shelf room for the works of the Indiana authors. He also initiated a presiden- tial boom fo- Senator Beyeridge. Then H. H. Rowland. editor of the Reader Magazine of Indianapolis. read letter from James Whitcomb Riley. The poet wrote in part:

Mayor Thons's appointments to the various boards which were made pub lie last evening. seem to meet with pretty general favor. Of course. the men who failed to get there. no doubt think the city is going straight to the dogs. One thing is certain. the new mayor has picked up some young blood and some pretty clever fellows A number who have never been heard of in politics are brought out in the mayors appointments. and there isn't a particle of doubt but what they will make efficient officials. The makeup of the boards was guarded to the last moment and apparently no one but those directly interested had any knowledge of who was to he appoint ed. notwithstanding the numerous guesses that were printed. The ap- pointees were all confirmed by the board of aldermen and they are now to buckle on the armor and give the city such thorough business admin istration that they will be continued in office when their present terms ex- pire.

The new democratic officials tool

The new democratic officials took up the reins of government yesterday and last evening in a manner which shows that they have not forgotten how. There was considerable excite ment and hustle about fhe City hall all day yesterday and until, late in the evening. The most sensational event of the evening was the rejecting Of the name of John F. Hackett. who had been nominated as assistant clerk by City Clerk Sandland. IL was rumored that such a thing was going 10 happen but number of those ou the inside were of the opinion that the aldermen would confirm Hackett's appointment when the opportunity came. But they didn't and now it remains 10 be seen what City Clerk Sandland's next move will be. The message of Mayor Thoms was listened to attentively and it was the general opinion that the mayors policy. as outlined. if lived up to, will bring the city up to the top notch. and that there will be no retrogression. Mayor Thoms's recommendations are not So numerous that they are confusing. on the contrary they are few and of the right sort. If carried out Waterbury is sure 10 experience two years of prosperity in every department of it's municipal household

Two hundred sons of Indiana. heart fly agreeing with their leading farmer playwright when be assured them they were the chosen and elect of all the earth" assembled in the Auditorium hotel at Chicago the other night to cele- brate the glories of Hoosierdom. says the Chicago Record Herald. It was the first banquet of the Indiana Society of Chicago and with uproarious unanimi- ty the feasters located the Garden of Eden. Mount Parnassus, Utopia and the center of the United States within the confines of their native state.
 To prove that Indiana is sufficient unto itself only home grown talent was permitted to have place upon the pro- gramme. George Ade supplied whim- sical humor. Wilbur D. Nesbit a blend of wit and sentiment. John T. McCutch- con the mirth provoking art of chalk point. James Whitcomb Riley, in ab- sentia, the touch that recalls fearful memories of way back home" and Senator A. J. Beveridge the oratory which has made him and Indiana noted.
 George Ade. introduced by Toastmas ter Joseph H. Defrees as ..the sage of the latter day Brook Farm" was the first to commence the paean of Indi- ana's greatness. He opened by ad- dressing his audience as MT. Ringers" :" declaring that he observed many mere 5ly honorary Hoosiers in the gathering and asserting that whenever an Indi- ana banquet was given all the sons of all the commonwealth were eager to rally themselves with the ruling race.
 Then George denied he had ever giv- en the historic explanation for the num- bers of clever Indianians in Chicago the smarter they are the quicker they come''-stating that here were two req sons why he should not have said it: First. because it isn't true. Second, because it is a chestnut
 Then he began to talk upon the theme "Hoosiers Have Met" He mentioned the well known fact that his native people had always held themselves apart from the low browed agricultur. ists. mere business men and cheap pro- fessions" of the three adjacent states of Ohio. Illinois and Kentucky. forming ss they do special class from which come the poets, geniuses and great ones of the world.
 He spoke of his boyhood impressions of Thomas A. Hendricks and Benjamin Harrison and then told of his first meet ing with John I.

Growing of grapes in graperies fur nishes an important source of revenue in some countries. notably Belgium and the Channel islands, where large quantities are annually grown and ex- ported.

THE CHURCH PAPER AND
ADVERTISING.

At the late meeting in Greenville, the Gen
eral Assembly of our Church was overturned by
of the Presbyteries to forbid Objectionable
advertising in the weekly papers, which repre-
sented our denomination. AS the overture
came from section of the church, which is not
largely reached by the Central Presbyterian,
we had reason to think there was any special
reference to our columns. 1t was an obvious
answer which came from the Committee of
Bills and Overtures, that the Church weekly
papers we're not the property of the Church,
and that it was not competent for the Assembly
to act in the matter. However, few remarks
on the advertising admitted to the columns of
the Church paper are pertinent and may be
useful.
Nearly all people will concur that SON.
amount of space may be devoted to advertising,
to secure share of the financial support that
is needful to maintain the existence and use

ARE THEY RELATED?

We are in the thick of struggle going on all
land to restrain lawlessness to pre-
vent crime, to secure justice, to restore conf
dence, to relieve misery and resist oppression.
With voice our people would testify that
there has been an epidemic Of wrong doing.
Men in high places have fallen, and in obscurer
life their imitators have been plentiful. The
last Congress is congratulated, as something ex-
traordinary, that it has passed certain laws in
the interest of the people and in restrain OF
fraud and extortion. Meanwhile great wrongs
remain to be righted and flourish in the face of
law and public protest. Aduteration of foods
and medicines, the saloon curse, bribery, child
labor corporate greed and evasiveness the law
lessness or political dominance of trusts, social
ism, the divorce evil, polygamy, suicide and
horrd list of other monstrocities prevail. This
is all too paably true; and these conditions
exists under the most benefcent tokens of
Kind Providence. The year is crowded with
goodness. great advanced civilization is per-
meated with a moral virus that manifests it.
self in symptoms Of surprising variety and ex-
tent. What is the remedy? Not law though
wise and righteous laws essential; but right
eousness of the heart; that which is by the faith
of Jesus Christ The Gospel of the Cross is our
hope. 1t is mighty through God to the pull
ing down of strongholds."
Another signal condition attracts our atten-
ton. 1t is prominent in the realm of religious
thought. 1t will be recognized certainly upon
reflection. 1t is the growing Indifference to
Christian doctrine. Some call it the enlarge
ment of the spirit of Christian fraternity and
liberation 1t does assume some interesting
forms that are well disguised At the Mohonk
Conference Ground the chairman's table stood
Cardinal Gibbons in his scarlet robes; Mr.. A.
X. Smiley of the Society of Friends; Justice
Brewer, a Congregationalist; the Episcopal
bishop, McVicar; Judge Stiness, of the
counsel at the Crapsey trial; and others of many
kinds. The Quaker read the hymn of peace
written by the Unitarian, Dr. Sears. The Cath
Ole and the Quaker sang from the same book,
and after psalm the cardinal read prayers in
English, with many a Protestant responding
Amen" "On an ocean liner during a recent
trip Jew summoned Christians to prayer; read
to Them with few changes, Christian ritual,
and spoke what seemed to them words of Chris
tan truth. The speaker was a physician, DR..
Sigismund, of New York. The steamers sa-
loon was crowded for the service; Presbyter-
ian played the hymns a Baptist distributed the

hymn-books, vestryman naturally saw to the
giving out of the Prayer Books Dr. Sigis-
mund's sermon was from the words of st. Paul.
BE We all of one mind, having compassion one
for another; love as brethren; be pitiful; be
courteous not rendering evil for evil, or railing
Tor railing, but contrariwise blessing, knowing
that We are thereunto called, and we shall inherit
blessing"
We do not quote these incidents to condemn
them, but rather to observe that there prevails
tremendous impetus toward sinking vital doc
trine, under the spell of religious fraternity
and renouncing the essentials of faith under
the seductions of misguided sentiment. How
freely the churches are trimming their creeds
and slurring once cherished articles of their
faith. The Christian Register predicts that in
five years the creeds of the churches will retain
only those things about which all Christians
Gncluding Unitarians) agree. The Congrega-
tionahst announces that 'there is no distinc-
lively Congregational theology" In Canada
and elsewhere different denominations are
forming plans of union by excluding from their
articles of faith, truths about which there is
disagreement. A prominent minister of the
Northern Cnurch declared that Its ministers do
not believe its Confession of Faith And re-
Gently that Confession has been construed to
be the proverbial "nose of wax to be worn with
equal propriety by the Semi-Arminian and the
Calvinist. The massing of men and money
and institutions has stolen away the hearts of
the people from the love of the truth. Central
izaiton has become master passion in eccles-
iastical affairs, and the Church's commission to
Contend earnestly for the faith" which the
world hates and resists, is being forgotten.
These, then, are two dominant characteristics
of our day relaxed condition of the public
conscience on moral questions, under the entice-
ments of personal advantage and self-indul-
gence; relaxed condition of the spiritual con-
science, on the value and authority of inspired
TRUTH under the enticement of a superficial fell
lowship and the Capitalization of ecclesiastical
power Are these two conditions related? Do
they sustain the relation of cause and effect?
We believe they do. The Word of God is the
foundation of public virtue.
