DR.. Crapsev,s Resignation.

DR.. Crapsey's statement that hundreds
of clergy and thousands Of laymen IN the
church from whose ministry he has just
resigned believe as he does will attract at
tentlon. From the nature Of the case. it is
impossible to test the truth of such an as
severatl0n. That there are clergy in the
same boat with Dr.. Crapsey. and that
there are laymen who entertain his con-
victions, was demonstrated in the Crapsey
trial when eminent clerical and lay au-
thorities were cited in behalf Of the
defendants attitude and belief Now
and then some one arises in every
denomination who thinks himself GeJ-
tered by theological dogma. and the
mental and spiritual experience Of Dr.
Crapsey could be matched by that OF
other ministers of religion both here and
I'm Europe. But the extent to which de-
Mai Of what have been regarded for cen
turies as the verities Of Christian theology
has penetrated orthodoxy is a serious
question. TO which a ready answer cannot
be found
For real belief is often expressed by
some subtlety Of Interpretation conceal
ing the fact Of denial. DR.. Crapsey tried
70 maintain that he believed in the
creeds of the church, but interpreted them
according 10 his own convictions Of the
truth. His Interpretation was thought
by HIS ecclesiastical superiors to have
gone too far. Il was certainly much
franker than some other interpretations
which have seen the light in theological
controversy. Indeed, the efforts Of the
liberal clergy Of any denomination to
square their interpretations with the
plain English Of their creeds and tha in
evitable logic Of their theology are
usually more pitiable than convincing. If
the obvious implication of their interpre-
tations were candidly accepted. the whole
body of scholastic theology would go by
the board But it is, as a rule, clung 10
with reservations that all but consign it
10 limbo.
Dr. Crapsey is out; ii is certain that
there are his like within the fold They
may continue to be useful. but they must
remain silent. DR.. Crapsey may speak
openly and aboveboard, but he is no
longer useful as minister of the gospel
in which he still processes 10 believe
That IS the pathos and the paradox in
DR.. Crapsey's remuneration.

Trouble for the Senate.

There is going to be trouble in the Sen
ate of the United States when the Hon.
Jefferson Davis, Of Arkansas, gets
there The Senator not only admits
1t privately. but procIaims IL from the
house tops and via the megaphone.
From beyond the placid waters OF the
great Mississippi there come these Ominous
words, An old fashioned row is what the
Senate needs. When I get there. there
will be something doing. I will give them
q sensation"
For ourselves, we admit believing, IN
ful! and generous measure, the truth
fulness OF all the gentleman says. His
fame has preceded him; and were he not
20 arrive simultaneously with q sensation,
or perhaps two sensations, great, bitter,
and fearful would be the disappointment
Of the listening Senate.
Truth to tell. the Senate hasn't had 'an
old-fashioned row for many days ID
facy. the history Of that somewhat de-
IIberate and awesOme body seems slngu-
lArly free from records Of old-fashioned
rows, better expressed, mayhap, by the
modern slangy designation of rough
house" out Of simple curiosity some
Senators would Ike TO be treated TO such
a thing. while others, no doubt. as the
gentleman from Arkansas mildly sug-
gests, need il. The Senate has tanned
some obstreperous ones in its day and
time, bat this new conner Is not 10 be
trified with or swerved from his plain
duty as he sees It. we are sure.
Patriotic purpose is writ upon his brow
and fell determination permeates his very
soul. Nothing short Of annihilation will
give him pause The Senate shall be
shown"
How fortunate that Tennessee has pro
vided n this emergency the Hon. Robert
Love Taylor. of Happy (yea, thrice happy

san Francisco's Mayor.

Mayor Sc:mitz Of san Francisco, who
has just returned from Europe to face an
Indictment on a charge of grating. is. it
is believed. the only professional musician
ever elected 10 so important an Office in
the United States. For years he was the
leader of an orchestra in San Francisco
theater, and was head Of the Musicians
Union of that city. which, in afiliation
with other trade unions of the town, be-
came a powerful factor in municipal poll
ties. The only other instance Of a pro-
fessiOnal musician being elected to prOm!-
nent office in this country that can be
readily recalled occurred In Missouri sew
e9al years ago, when q man named MI
Ter was sent to the State senate from a
ST. Louis district. Miller like SchmltZ
was the first violiniSt in an orchestra, and
had no other means of support The
trades unions kept him in politics for sew
eral years, and his official record was
clean. Mayor Schmitz will be prosecuted
by Francis J. Heney, the man who con-
victed some Of the Oregon delegation in

Amcrica's Cotton Supremacy.

The sway Of American cotton in the
commerce Of the world was never more
firmly established than now. Great Brit
ain and all the leading continental con-
sumcrs Of the staple from this country
have FOR many years been trying the ex-
pertinent Of raising cotton in their colo
nal possessions in Africa. India. and else,
where but they have never, even with the
greatest degree of success, been able TO
produce a cotton quite the equal in fiber
to that grown in the Southern States Of
the United States. There appears 10 be.
therefore, reasonable excuse for the fact
ttat the Southern cotton planter has be-
come an optimist. He has good cause TO
look hopefully 10 the future, not only on
account Of the superiority OF the staple
grown by him, but for the reason that the
cotton industry has become ramiiied in a
variety OF important ways through the
utilization Of the by-products OF the plant
IN a way which continually adds To his
profit. These by-prOducts Of cotton seed.
cotton-seed oil. cake. and indeed every
particle of the plant, from root to leaf,
have been doing wonders for the South in
the past quarter Of a century.
1t has been but d little while since
cotton seed became heaped about the
gins, ignored and neglected. and regarded
even as nuisance. Seventy years ago IN
attempt was made at Natchez. Miss. TO
make oil from cotton seed. and it was
failure Thirty years ago 1t was tried
at Memphis with similar result. Both fail
ures made the pioneers of the industry
subject to Tidicule. But it was tried again
and again. and with such success that cot
ton-seed oil is now exported all over the
civilized world and forms one Of the most
profitable OF exports from the United
States. Cotton and the by-products CT cot

never be in peril while cotton grows. The
Department Of Agriculture has most cred
itably done an enormous amount Of work

the entire country, in its efforts to pro-
mote the culture of the greatest and most
certain staple Of agricultural production
of which the United States can boast.
Engl!Sh manufacturers, VINO buy con-
siderably over 50 per cent OF the cotton

Aboard the old four-masted British ship

thirty, and has served eleven years In
prison at Lorenzo Marquee, Portuguese

consul put him aboard the KentmeFe 10

refused TO let Kessler land, and Capt
Burch, of the Kentmere. was forced TO

Kessler had been amiable anu indus

declared that he would set fire TO the

was allowed TO go ashore His temper
