WORD "OBEY" is OMITTED
New Presbyterian Prayer Book Has Some
Similarity to Episcopal Issue OPP
position to It's Use.

NEW YORK, May THE new book
Of common worship has just been pub
lishcd with the authority of the Presby-
terrain general assembly. For three
years n special committee on forms and
services for the general assembly, headed
10y Rev DIR. Henry Van Dyke, has been
working on this new book. The title page
of the book bears this significant an
uounccment: For voluntary use III
churches"
This is the first time a prayer book
has been offered for use in the Presby-
terrain church. The opposition to the
book in the general assembly last year
was particularly strong from western
missionaries One OF these said: Out
our way we have TO eat canned veg
ctabes. canned meat and canned milk,
but we can't stand for canned prayers.
All that remains for those who are op-
posed To the book is to refrain from its
use. In the east and in the large cities
Of the country generally the new book is
expected to be largely used.
In many particulars the book has
points of similarity with the Episcopal
book of common prayer. Some Episco-
paliaus said that some Of the forms for
services and many of the prayers were
almost bodily taken from their prayer
book. To this assertion a Presbyterian
editor made reply that as a matter OF
fact the makers Of the prayer book Of
the Episcopal church themselves had
drawn on some older sources.
Women will be especially interested in
the marriage ceremony in the new book.
for it omits the word obey" and it also
omits reference to the worldly goods"
with which the man and woman in the
Episcopal and some other marriage
forms "endowed' each other.

TARIFF PUT TO FRONT
REVISION WILL BE CAMPAIGN is
SUE SAYS REPORT.
Coming Congressional Elections Will
Show Which Way Wind Is Blowing
on This Subject.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. May THE Record
ii eral Ids Washington correspondent
says:
Once more the tariff has come to the
front in American politics. Unless all
signs fail, revision will be the issue il
the approaching canvas for the election
Of members of the House in the sixth
eth Congress.
There has been nc straight out contest
IN this country in favor of tariff revision
since the congressional campaign OF
1891. Mr.. Cleveland carried the presiden-
tial election two years before that on the
issue of tariff reform versus high pro-
lection. Congress passed the Wilson bill
under circumstances which aroused pop
ular anger and the morning after the
congressional election of 1894 the country
awakened to realize that n Republican
ldal wave had set in ana that the Dem
Ocrat Is had lost control OF the House by
an enormous majority.
In each succeeding election other is
sues have overshadowed the tariff. 1t
was the financial question in 1Sb and
lS9S. 1t was anti-imperialism and the
control of combines in 1900 and 1902.
In all of the campaigns since 1896 the
Democrats have gone down in defeat
largely because the country was pros
porous and the voters were not interest
ed in having change.
But now the tariff has been forced
to the front again, and the Republican
argument of unexampled prosperity is to
be met with the Democratic argument
that while the country is prosperous, it
is n prosperity i'll which the managers
of the combines are getting the lions
share, while the burdens of the tariff are
falling upon the great masses of the
citizens in increased cost of living"

threatening 10 shoot any student who
attempted To take the freshman from
him. After the officer left Piffner was
given HAIR cut, an iodine shampoo ANA
bath in the lake.
The cause of the hazing was an al
legged remark by Pfffner that he did not
care To travel with the common herd at
the university.
The tazers attempted to break into
the gym to get Pfffncr. it is alleged. He
was escorted from there by an officer
only after the latter had threatened To
shoot the first student that made a move
