not entirely free from mark of
violence after all. The incident,
though tor a time it looked as if
it would result seriously, passed
off finally without attracting
much attention in the city. In

There had been more or less

Tuesday of the Republicans and Municipal

would never vote for the autos. Thor

In simnle Justice to Mr.. Allison.

II
The subjoined opinion, almost brutal
in its directness, well nigh appalling in
it's perpendicularity, is published as
proceeding from the mouth OF Senator
ALLISON of Iowa with regard to the
so-called Long or Administration amend
ment to the Hepburn bill:
In my opinion this amendment confers sum
cient Jurisdiction on the courts"
Of course, Senator ALLISON never
said that.
He may have said: an my opinion
this amendment, if it confers sufficient
jurisdiction on the courts, is an adequate
provision for judicial review
Or he may have said: "1f this amend
ment shall prove to be an adequate pro-
vision for judicial review, in my opinion
it confers sufficient jurisdiction on the
courts"
But that he used the language attrib-
uted to him and quoted above in small
tvpe no one will believe.
The reputation honestly earned by a
third Of a century of subjunotive states
manship in the United States Senate is
not so easily destroyed.

The Passing OF Dowte.

That JOHN ALEXANDER DowIE should
be deposed unanimously from the First
Apostleship of the Christian Catholic
Church which he founded and which for
several years he ruled despotically is
a curious incident in the story of relig-
ious enthusiasm and hysteria, coupled
with business acumen and %quackery, in
which he has been the central figure.
Usually such leaders as DowIE are able
to retain a hold OF their converts even
after their %pretenslons to supernatural
inspiration and powers have been re-
peatedly disproved. Many self-styled
prophets" have failed to work prom
ised miracles without losing their fol-
lowing. Numerous faith healers have
commanded the confidence of their
dupes TO the end, even after their inabil-
itv to cure or arrest disease had been
indisputably proved. DowIE has not
been more completely exposed as a
crackbrained enthusiast than uncounted
predecessors in the field he cultivated;
yet out of 5000 Zionists who attended
the meeting at which he was ousted
from his leadership not n was willing
to defend him or to vote for his reten-
ton in the Office he created.
1t appears that DOVES loss of au-
thority over Zion began in the fall of
1908, when his extravagant crusade in
this city proved a complete and humil-
iating failure. Previous to this he had
been able to maintain himself in his own
community in spite of his reckless finan-
cial management, his extravaganza of
speech, his ridiculous antics and his vio-
lence toward those whom he regarded
as his physical subjects as they were
his slaves spiritually. His failure in
New York was too big to be concealed,
too complete TO be explained away. 1t
was followed by a crisis in the financial
affairs of his community from which he
was able to extricate it only with the
greatest difficulty. Then came his I'M
successful tour of the world, the appar-
ent rehabilitation of his finances and the
development of his plan for a vast set
Element in Mexico.
Up to this time the outside and un-
reEeneTdlt WOllu lCaib i''iS VI 'iC
movement within Zion against DowIE,
but it was continually growing stronger.
Above all things, a religious leader Of
the class TO which DowIE belongs must
have the absolute, u~nfaltering, unques-
tioning belief of his followers. II a
doubt Of his powers, his inspiration or
his honesty of purpose remains in their
minds he is lost. Such a doubt there was
IN Zion early in 1904, and when, in Octo-
her Of last year, ELIJAH the Restorer
was stricken with paralysis this doubt
soon grew into open disbelief. Four
months after his disease appeared
DowIE was stripped of his authority
over the finances of Zion and another
was formally installed as executive head
of the community. In another month
DowIE's last office was taken from him
and a new First Apostle was chosen.
