Mr.. LoEB, the Presidents secretary,
has issued az order TO the public that
the Presidents private conversations
must no, be repeated, or words to that
effect. Probably the President has been
misquoted parity often; but In many in
stances what he objected to was that he
was correctly quoted, but what he said
was net intended for publication. 1t is
bad taste, or worse, to have converse
ton with the President and then repeat
it, or the substance of it, or poor rec
objection Of it, or a willful distortion OF
it. 'tBut," as says the Philadelphia
Record, "Mr. Roosevelt has made more
complaints of being misquOted than all
the Presidents before him from George
Washington down. The reason is that
no other President has talked so volnbly
and so informally, not to say indiscretly,
and has assumed so largely that his call
err would use discretion be would not
use himself. The President ought not
to be quoted without authority, but he
also ough; not to say everything that may
be in bis mind"

explosion of cartridges 10 the Church CT

A panic was caused in the church and

queen would attend the church and ar
ranged to asssssinate Alfonso in the con-

Henry Firth Smith, 25 years old, SOD
of Joseph Smith, prominent and wealthy
business man OF Pittsburg, Pa, was shot
twice and almost instantly killed at 4
O'Clock yesterday morning by a burglar
whom he surprised in the dlniOg-room
of his fathers residence, in the east end
section Of the city.
That desperate battle took place be-
tween young Smith and the burglar is
evident from the disordered condition OF
the diuing.room and kitchen Of the Smith
home. la addition to the two bullets
which we're found to have entered Smiths
body, five other balls we're found lodged
in the floors and wills of two rooms.
Three cartridges of Smiths revolver had
been discharged.
Nei,hbors adjacent TO the Smith home
heard the sho,s aud ran to their win
dIws, but say they saw no one running
from the house. Hundreds of dollars
worth Of silver plate had been gathered
together by the burglar, who apparently
had been in the house sometime before
being heard by young Smith.
The young mans father and mother
we're awakened by the sounds of the shots
and rushed down stairs, to find their son
on the kitchen floor with two bullet
holes in his body. r-s
The crime, following little more than
week after the murder Of James A.

And what is true on the Eastern Shore

IHE belief that an immediate effect OF
the recent elections would be revival
among republicans of the agitation for
tariff revision was greatly strengthened
by statements made by Senator Cnllom,
of Illinois, on his arrival in Washington,
Saturday. The Senator said he believed
the people felt that many schedules Of the
tariff needed reduction, aud as 1t would
be impossible to do anything in that
direction at the short session this winter
it would be the part of wisdom TO hold
an extra session of the new Congress in
the spring to be devoted exclusively TO
tariff revision. He thought it would be
a dangerous experiment TO put off action
on the matter until just before or alter
the next presidential election. 1t was
evident the Senator has discovered during
the campaign that a respectable number
of republicans in bis own State think the
time has come when the excessively high
duties.imposed by nearly all the schedules
of the Dingley bill should be reduced.
From the tact that Senator Beverage,
of Indiana, declared in campaign speech
Immediately before election that the
stand patters must stand aside and allow
the tariff to be revised, it would seem that
the revision sentiment prevails in Indiana
as well as in Illinois and the Northwest

MONDAY EVENING. NOV. 70. 1906.

REV. SAMUEL T. CARTER, ID. d., OF
New York city, whose letter TO the last
Presbyterian General Assembly, at Des
Moines, H., attacking the Westminster
Confession as an "idol of mans crea'
tion," was killed in committee. has sent
from Europe statement in which he as
sails the hell OF the Westminster Con.
{, s,ion, criticises the general assembly
for retaining the confession and COM
mends the daily press for its enligh.en-
ment. twill be remembered that, while
the general assembly suppressed his lei
Ter. it did not discipline DR.. Carter or
dismiss him from the church for his ex-
preston of views at variance with those
of the Westminster Confession. DIR.
Carter, among other things, says:
A world of intelligent men hiss utterly
rejected the idea of endless torment.
Why should not the church free itself
from the shame of perpetuaiing this re-
morseless cruelty? The dogma Of end
less torment is an old rotten derelict that
has rolled on the ocean of time far too
long, leaving a track of disaster and
death behind it. The church owes it 10
itself to dynamite this miserable hulk
and sink it out of sight forever
The Greek word translated "eyerlast-
ing" in The common version of the Bible
has long been matte Of dispute among
the learned. Many are confident 1t was
never intended to convey the idea ex-
pressed by the word everlasting" The
editor Of weIl.known Greek Testament
translates the words rendered, "And
these shall 90 away into everlasting
punishment; but the righteous into life
eternal" MAT. 25), as follows: "And
these shall go away into a cutting of
age-lastipg, but the righteous into life
age-lastiDg." Whatever may be meant
by this verse, the fact remains that the
word used to express the duration OF the
state OF the blessed is employed 10 set
forth the period of anguish to be endured
by the other clasP.
