The Baltimore Sun in an article
headed, "Senators From Many
States" has the following to say:
"The poverty of intellect which the
wealthy, cultivated and highly develop
ed States of New England and the East
exhibited in the Senate is in sharp con-
trast to the learning, ability and
strength of the leading Democratic
champions of rate legislation. Senator
Rayner of Maryland; Senators Bailey
and Culberson of Texas; Senator Bacon
of Georgia and Senator Tillman of
South Carolina, constituted coterie of
debaters who were more than able to
hold their own with the mightiest
spokesman of the opposition. The
laurels which Mr. Rayner has won are
especially gratifying TO the people of
Maryland. The enviable position to
which he has attained in the Senate
justifies the confidence of his friends in
his ability and demonstrates anew the
Importance of every state sending to
the Senate representatives of it's highest
culture and craftsmanship"

CONSOLIDATION PLAN.

Moderator Authorized to Appoint a
Committee to Prepare Draft.
Des Moines. Ia. May 23.-The Pres
byterian general assembly voted to au-
thorize Moderator Hunter Corbett to
name committee of ten ministers
and eleven elders, one Of whom shall
be from the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, in case union Is effected, to
draft plan for consolidation of all
the boards of the church into one or
ganization, to be divided into exec
utive, legislative and judicial depart
ments.
The assembly voted to combine with
the Hungarian Reform church and the
Reform Church In the United States
Germany in Hungarian religious
work. About $4,000 Hungarians come
to America yearly, and the desire is
to bring them into the Presbyterian
church.
The question of the adoption of
the book Of forms and services rec
commended by special committee of
the Presbyterian general assembly
came up, and after heated debate of
several hours the matter went over
to later session of the general assem-
bly,. Not in many years has an assem-
bly, been so stirred as 1t was over this
Issue. and the argument became heat
ed from its very beginning. DR.. Hen
ry Van Dyke, chairman of the commit
tee, maintained his usual calm demean-
or as he made his address in present
ing the report.
The most intense feeling was evil
dent in the debate, at times bordering
on discourtesy, despite the exhorta,
tons of some of the more dignified
commissioners that the matter bede.
bated in the attitude of prayer. The
request was made by the moderator
that all applause be discontinued, but
when the dramatic, tall, dark-haired

declared that ut smelled of priest
craft" applause broke out in tire.

There are at present six candi-
dates for governor. No one of
these can possibly go into the con-
vention with a majority. There.
fore the wire puller will get in his
work and in this way the choice Of
the people may be defeated. 1t
has been suggested that as each
candidate drops out that his vote
be prorated among those remain.
ing. In this way something like
Justice will be done. 1t would
prevent the dark horse from being
considered. Should the convention
adopt the rule that after each bal.
lot the lowest man be dropped and
his vote prorated among the re.
naming candidates, then some
one of the six would sure be nomi.
mated, otherwise some unknown
or unthought of man may be Sc.
lected. The JIMPLECUTE favors
the election of all officers by the
direct vote of the people. 1t is
the only true and honest way. The
only way for the people to receive
honest results for the trouble of
voting. The present plan creates
indifference on the part of the
voters, because they feel injustice
will be done any way.

If this showing does not justify
the improvement of Cypress river
is there any showing which man or
God can make would. The atten.
ton of the press of each county
named is called to this powerful
and convincing argument that the
river and harbor committee would
be more than justified in ordering
the improvement made. The fore.
going figures don't stand unsup.

The counties named above should
get together on this question, and
keep the iron hot, until something
of definite nature is done. Jus.
tice will sure win out. 1t never

much they are interested, how
deep in the mire. The rivers and
harbors committee inspected the

membered that it is not necessary
for all the commerce tributary tc
