WHAT REV. j. 3. LEY DID.

Sunday was red letter day in the
history Of the First Methodist Church.
The singing and music were attract
i've and of high order, consisting of
Orchestral selections, anthems and 4
magnificent solo by Mrs. McGregor
Nesbit.
The sermon. preached by the pastor,
Rev. John e. Ley, was based on the
Psalmist'S inquiry Of gratitude, Psalm

Then began a most remarkable col

POINT AT ISSUE IN THE RATE
CONTROVERSY.

The controversy over rate legisla-
ton in the senate hinges entirely or
the constitutional question whether
congress has power to pass law con-
ferring upon the interstate commerce
commission the right to fix the rates
for interstate transportation. and al
the same time TO deny to the courts
the right of issuing temporary in
functions against the Enforcement Of
lsuch rates. Senators Bailey. LaF'ollette.
Carmack and others, support the af-
flrmative. and Senators Foraker, Knox,
Lodge, Aldrich and others the mega
tive side of this question. The Bailey
amendment 10 the Hepburn bill ex-
presses the views Of the Limited re-
visionists." and the Foraker bill those
of the broad revisionists." The ac-
ceptance Of the Bailey amendment and
the rejection of the broad court re-
view" have the same basis, which is,
that the fifth amendment of the con-
stitution fixes the limit, beyond which
congress cannot go in fixing rates, at
the point where the rates established
by the commission would amount to
taking private property for public
use without just compensation" and
that If inferior courts had jurisdiction
to set aside such rates temporarily by
fOrbidding their enforcement prior to
the final hearing and determination of
the case. by means of preliminary in
functions the railroads would abuse
the right of litigation. and the public
would suffer from their extortions;
whereas. If the inferior courts were
denied the right to issue such injunc-
tions. the people would be protected,
and the railroads would still enjoy all
the rights to which they are entitled
under the constitution. That they
would then insist upon the Speediest
possible disposition of the case; where
as. if they could sue out injunctiOns
before inferior courts, TlcN WOutu place
every conceivable obstacle in the way
of a final decision. and defy the law
under the shelter of an injunction pro-
cured from some judge who had been
appointed To office through the influ-
ence of railroad senator's.
The Bailey amendment is necessary
50 far as it would tend To prevent an
abuse of judicial power by inferior
courts in the manner indicated: the
original Hepburn bill having failed 10

measure. Under the original bill. the

prevail. and the railroad might use the
machinery of the courts 10 haraSs the
shippers and evade the law. The Hep
burn bill. with the Bailey amendment
added. would be. in fact, as we'll as in
name, a remedial law; but without
such amendment. it would be almost
sure to prove abortive.

The Law of II.

A good deal has been said about the
clause OF exception in many Gf ne
policies on property in San Francisco,
some claiming that it will exempt
many from liability and others taking
the contrary view.
The clause : aS f,ilpN-:
This company shall az, be ,iatIa

by invasion. insurrecuon. riot. civil
war or commotion. or mili5drs or
usurped power. or by order of m civil

enactment on this subject. which is as

THE GROWTH OF THE WOMAN
SUFFRAGE IDEA.

One needs only To read the reSolu-
lions recently sent out by the Indus
trail advisory committee of the gen.
eral federation of Women's Clubs to
prove that a belief in the advisablity
of granting the ballot to women is
rapidly gaining ground.
The general federation is composed
along all different lines of human ac-
tiviey in which women are engaged.
and the fact that they are coming TO
realize the necessity of the ballot in
order to accomplish the greatest good
shows most conclusively that womer
gin 70 think outside their own home.
and that the movement is not going
backward as some would have US be-
.lieve. The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, The number of wage earn
ing women and girls in the United
States is now more than 100000 and
lis rapidly increasing:
Whereas. Wage workers who are
DISTINGUISHED are at a serious diSad-
vantage in the industrial world with
out the protection and power that the
ballot gives:
Whereas. The American Federation
of Labor has perceived this. and for
many years has endorsed the enfran-
chisement of women as a necessary
step in their industrial advancement:
=. Therefore, This committee. standing
in an advisory capacity to the general
federation in all matters relating 10
industrial conditions of women and
children. urge upon the general and
state declarations. and women'S Clubs

dorsing the principle of equal suffrage

are best known in baseball as ''phe-
nomenaf' pitchers.
All pitchers can learn to throw an in
shoot.
To left handlers it is often the natu-
raj manner of delivering the ball.
Grasp the ball with the first three fin
gers and the thumb Hold it firmly.
Speed is necessary for an inshoot.
Keep the hand in upright position.
When the ball is released from the
hand let it go over the tips of the fin
gers and use a lateral motion in de-
livering it.
That is the only manner in which the
ball can be made so to revolve on its
axis as to acquire the proper direction.
The ball must turn from right to left
in such a manner as to defect its
course toward the right corner of home
plate.
Do not become discouraged if you
fail to see the ball positively change its
course. as it does in an outcurve. The
mere fact that it constantly bears in
toward right hand batter and away
from n left hand batter is all that is
needed to make it successful.

If it is easier to use all four fingers
to pitch an inshoot do not be afraid to
do so. The fact most to be kept In
mind is that a rapid motion is neces-
sary to induce the ball to bore in"
and it is necessary that accuracy shall
follow to make the inshoot successful.
If YOU can't get accuracy with three
fingers, use all four.
