DR.. Abbott and the Philippines.
What Is DIR. Abbott's justification for
thus clarifying in acts which Jesus for
babe? This is serious business. The
question will doubtless be embarrass-
ing to answer openly.
DIR. Abbott does not find the question
embarrassing" at ALL He gives 1T his
immediate personal attention. He in
forms Mr.. Milliken that Jesus did not
prohibit governmental authority; that
there Is nothing anti Christian in the
policeman on the corner, or the gov
ernor in the statehouse. He points out
to him that our work in the Philippines
has been a work of service - not of
lordly oppression. We freed the island
ers from Spanish 1nisrule, we restrain
ed them from cutting the Spamiards'
threats, we sent them Judge Taft, we
loaned them the credit of the United
States we bought the friGrs' land for
them, we gave them order, law, justice,
schools; we haven't taken a dollar OF
their money: all the island revenues
have gone into the insular treasury;
the natives have received political
training i'm the local governments. and
they are soon to have a legislative as
sembly Of their own DIR. Abbott has
no doubt that There have been some
mistakes. some wrongs. He deplores
the senate committee hold-up of the
Roosevelt Taft bill reducing the Ding
ley rates on Philippine products. 1T
will not be long before that blot will
be removed" he predicts. But he
isn't taking back a word he uttered at
Lake Mohonk. He now says to Samuel
Milliken of Philadelphia and all others
concerned:
History affords no more splendid
illustration of a great nation earning
the right to the title OF Christian great
ness than Is afforded by the story of
the United States putting its army, its
Financial credit, its great statesmen,
and its great educators at the service
OF poor. oppressed. ignorant, and
hitherto despised people, who had
neither wealth nor influence with which
to repay. and many Of whom had not
at first the intelligence even to COM
prehend.''
This statement OF THE case will be
challenged. OF course, and sneered at.
It won't be refuted.

Scarcity of Men, Money and
Railway Facilities Have
Effect on Business
HOLIDAY TRADE is GROWING
seasonable Weather Creates Improve
ment in Other Lines-Greater De-
mand Than Ever for High Grade
eood.-Receipts May Exceed Those
Of Former Years.

New York, Dec 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade today
says:
Holiday trade monopolizes atten-
ton, tho there Is steady gain in dis
tribution Of winter goods as the tenn
perature becomes more seasonable.
Some irregularity Is is still noted In
collections, attributed to high money
rates or failure to market the crops.
This would make the one adverse fea-
ture of the commercial situation indi-
rectly due to the three most striking
evidences OF national prosperity
scarcity of men, money and railway ia
cilities The inadequate supply Of la
Dor Is attested by numerous increases
in wages. the financial situation is
shown by the heavy deficit OF the as
ISOLATED banks, and the sixth measure
OF relief this year by the secretary OF
the treasury, and complaints about
freight blockades are numerous.
There is little idle machinery at lead
ing manufacturing plants, the urgency
for quick delivery being most natice-
able at steel and cotton mills and all
are well engaged. More new lines OF
woolens have been shown, but the gem
eral market is not yet fully opened and
buyers show only moderate interest.
The finer grades will not be put on the
market until January, and 1t is hoped
that these will be received In a manner
that will improve the tone In all Sec
lions of the market. At the exchanges
dealing in the leading farm staples the
only important influence of the week
was supplied by the official reports.
While 1t is somewhat early to have def
mite information regarding the next
crop Of winter wheat, the department
OF agriculture has Appropriated final
results so closely in the December re-
ports of recent years that its promise
Of new high record production had a
natural tendency to depress quotations.
The decline was not severe, however.
chiefly because the inadequate railway
facilities continue to restrict receipts at
primary markets.
Liabilities Of commercial failures
thus far reported for December
amounted to $2.S64,334, Of which ST.
#s24,O41 were in manufacturing, $1.o22,-
693 in trading and $4,000 in other COM
mercial lines.

Bradstreet's Review Of Trade.

New York, Dec. 15.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Holiday trade, now In full swing, at
tracts most attention. Business, which
is Of foremost proportions, bids fair to
eclipse previous records, a significant
feature being the demand for high
grade goods. In other respects retail
trade is irregular, good in sections fav-
ored by cold weather, but backward in
the northwest, and parts of the south,
where mild weather has restricted de-
mand for heavy weight, wearing appar-
ell. Business in jobbing. and wholesale
lines displays slight falling off, but
only by contrast with the activity pre-
vailing early in the season, the point
being that trade Is more than season
ably active, especially in dry goods In
dustrial lines were never SO active, and
the labor situation, so far as grievances
are concerned, seems to have improved.
Wages are still being advanced, and
the supply Of help still continues
scarce, altho this is the season for
comparative suspension OF outdoor ac-
tfvities.
Demand for pig iron for the second
half and third quarters OF 1907 is de-
veloping. Prices are very firm, the dis
position being to offer iron for the third
quarter at $1.00 per ton under the fig
ures asked for supplies for the first
half Of the year.
Domestic production in November
was very heavy, only 5000 tons under
the record which was made in october,
and being at the rate Of over 27,000,000
tons per year. 1t is to be noted, how
ever, that some furnaces have been
out for repairs, while others will fol-
low under the influence of winter
weather. Light rails at Chicago are up
$1.0O per ton, and splice bars have been
advanced $500.
Copper is higher-23 cents per pound
with demand urgent for spot and
nearby delivery. Lead as well as spell
ter is high.
/ Shoe sales are normal, good sample
orders for shipping being a feature.
Print clothes have been marked up Is
cent to Acent and other kinds are
tending upward.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada, week
ending December 10, aggregated 4,3S3,-
957 bushels against 4,437,162 bushels
this week last year. For the past
twenty four weeks Of the fiscal year,
exports are S7,969,578 bushels against
7,258,549 bushels in 1905. Corn ex-
ports for the week are 1,3S1,774 BUSH
els against 3,407,766 a year ago. For
the fiscal year to date the exports are
20,843517 bushels against 29,256,89
busels in 1905.

Set finite limit upon hope, and you
have set <the same finite upon virtue
or truth. You have even deprecated
also the value of logic and reason
After maintaining that it is at least
as intelligent to hope for immortality as
to deny it. and that "our faith in a
universe is not merely the outgrowth of
the observation of outward phenom-
ena," but "it is also a sort of intellect
ual or spiritual necessity, without
which the mind is baffled or stupefied,"
he adds:
so, too, we find that the hope Of i'm
mortality belongs to that deeper unity
of thought and conception Of which our
Interpretation of the outward nature
Is merely an image"

Interdependence Of Hope and lmmor-
$aIifv

Interdependenee Of Hope and lmmor-
tally.
Hope and Immortality stand or fall
together, says Mr.. Charles Fletcher
Dole in his lecture on the 1ngersoll
Foundation for 1906 at Harvard, now
published in book form. Hope, he de-
clares, may live in vague way with
out any definite object" but ut tends to
die at the roots with the denial OF I'M
mortality" Science has not yet ac-
counted for the vastness OF mems
thoughts; hence it has given no reason
able explanation Of his hope. 1T is
more reasonable" declares the writer,
"to hope for Immortality than to sup
nose that such thought has higher
value than the life which gave 1t birth"
$40 deny Immortality is to deny the
very values to the sense of which all
heroism appeals" Upon this point he
continues:
"This is to say that all the magnifi-
cent words which make literature and
ring thru literature and poetry like bat
theories to rally men to their highest
modes of action-justice, truth, virtue,
heroism. the best-such words, be-
speaking mans spiritual nature, group
themselves with the words hope and
Immortality They stand or fall to-
gether. Raise your estimate of one of
these words, and you unconsclousiy
raise your estimate of all. Deprec1ate
any one of them, and you depreciate
all alike. Set price or limit upon
=, --orth of virtue and you have linn
tied your vision Of all things hoped for.

Or. crapaex,s Remuneration.

DR.. Crapsey's letter Is as follows:
Under existing conditions deem II
my duty to make a formal and final
Remuneration Of the ministry Of the
Protestant Episcopal church, and In
consequence ask that not earlier than
the Sd, not later than the 9Th OF De-
cember you will take order under
canon 81 Of the general canons Of the
church to accomplish my deposition
fro mthe priesthood.
am certain that you will be glad to
acknowledge that am compelled to
this action by anything that reflects
upon my moral integrity or calls In
question my faithfulness as pastor.
My sole difficulty lies in the fact tina.
a long, careful, conscientious study OF
the holy scriptures has compelled me to
come to certain conclusions concern
ing the pre- natural history Of Jesus
which are not in physical accord with
the letter of the creeds and which have
compelled me, in order to hold to the
creeds, to give certain articles an In
depreciation that will harmonic them
with the truth as find that truth In
the teaching Of the holy scriptures.
Denies He is lnsincere.
But recent judicial decisions have
declared that any such harmonizing OF
the creed with my own convictions Oh
the truth IL not permissible In the
Protestant Episcopal church. In my
own case recognize the right OF the
constituted authorities of the church
to define the limits Of Interpretation.
and in order to hold fast to the truth
must let go Of the creed as now inter-
preted by the courts. am not now
and never have been conscious Of any
insincerity in giving such interpreta-
lions to the various articles OF the
creed as are demanded by present con-
tfitions of thought and the present
state Of knowledge, any more than
am conscious Of insincerity when ] say
the sun rises and sets, tho as matter
of fact the sun does nothing OF the
kind.
If am to hold the creed at all
must give to certain, If not all of its
articles, spiritual rather than liter
ally physical Interpretation. When I
say Of Jesus that He assembled into
heaven. do not mean and cannot
mean that with His physical body Of
flesh, blood and bones He floated into
space. and has for 1000 years been
existing somewhere in the sky. in that
very physical body Of flesh, blood ana
bones. Such an existence would seem
to me not glorious, but horrible, and
such a conception is to me not only
unbe Hevable, 1t is unthinkable. What
/ do mean by this phrase Is that Jesus
having accomplished His work In the
flesh. assembled into the higher life OF
the spirit. Also when say of Jesus
that He was conceived by the Holy
Ghost. born Of the Virgin Mary, do
not mean that the great and living
God. in order to get into His world had
to violate His wonderful law OF human
generation, break into sancttties OF
marriage and cause son OF man to be
horn without a human father.

Give Space for Travel

A ruling of the Interstate Commerce
Commission which has the effect OF pro-
hibiting, under the amended railroadrate
law, the making of contracts with news
papers by railroads in which advertising
is given in return for transportation, was
discussed last Saturday at an informal
hearing before the commission, partici-
pated in by a subcommittee of the execu-
tive committee of the National Editorial
Association.
j. E. Junkin, of Kansas, president of
the National Editorial Association and
chairman of the committee, and others
asked that revision of the commissions
Interpretation of the law be made.
Chairman Knapp declared that the law
prohibited the transportation by railroads
of persons or property except in accord
ance with the precise terms of the traffic
filed for that purpose, and ii at every tar
if provided for the payment of services
rendered in money.
The editors, seeing that they could not
get relief from the Interstate Commerce
Commission, have decided TO urge the
passage of bill introduced into the
House recently by Representative Carrot,
of Tennessee, who seeks to give the rem
edY desired.

Patterson Is Master.

At meeting of the Maryland State
Grange held in Cumberland last Tuesday,
Mr.. n. J. Patterson, Director of the
Maryland Experiment Station, College
Park, was chosen master to succeed JOS
eph B. Ager, deceased. Over fifty repre-
sentatives from oranges all over the state
were present, and the selection of Direc'
tor Patterson was received with unani-
nous approval.
1t is the universal opinion tina: the
grangers have acted wisely in their choice
of successor to their late lamented mas
ter, Joseph B. Ager. Mr.. Patterson is
eminently qualified for the office, and
will bring into the administration of his
duties a wide experience in those matters
in which grapgers are peculiarly inter
ested.

Improving Land by Legumes
A Louisiana planter writes:

Louisiana planter writes:
1--WE have poor piece of land that
seems utterly devoid of humus which
washes badly. My idea is to SOW Grim
son clover this fall and next spring turn
it under and plant corn to be laid by with
peas"
We have found crimson clover a useful
plant in improving thin, poor land, and
especially valuable as winter cover cror
on lands that are inclined to wash. Grim
son clover to give good results, should be
sown on land of fair fertility, and it
should be put in carefully.
We grew crimson clover successfully
in Tennessee for several years, and there
is no reason why it should not be raised
in any part of the South if the land is in
good heart, and it is put in early enough
to make strong vigorous growth before
cold weather Crimson clover is a good
soil improver, as it is capable of gather
ing atmospheric nitrogen. There are
cases on record where 1876 pounds of nj
trogen have been added to single acre
of lard through blowing under crop of
crimson clover. The seed should be sown
at the rate of ~ to Is pounds per acre
and without a nurse crop. Where nurse
crop is used only very light seeding OF
oats or winter barley is advisable. Rye
as rule, shades the ground too much
and the clover does not do well, Grim.
son clover can often be sown in corn a,
the last working, especially if the season
is showery. 1t should be covered and not
scattered broadcast and left unprotected
We grew good crop here last year at ar
elevation of 224O feet and plowed it dowr
this year and planted corn on the lane
for silage. We had an unusually dr.,
spring, and the clover was rlowed Jude
when the ground was practically devote
of moisture AS result the corn dit
not start quickly on this land, but sine
starting, owing to favorable rains, tn
! growth has been remarkably vigorous.
