Defiance Starch, as it can be applied

A Sensible Law.

The recently enacted law in New
York providing for State control of
public utilities covers the following
important points:
To regulate and control all rail-
roads, street railways. gas and cleo
tric lighting companies.
1t can compel all transportation
corporations to give safe and ade-
quate service at just and reasonable
rates.
1t can prevent rebates and discrim-
lnation in rates between different
classes OF shippers, or passengers. or
kind of traffic.
1t can COMPEL all common carriers
to furnish sufficient cars and motive
power to meet all the requirements
of the public both as to passengers
and freight.
The utilities commission law pro-
vides against the giving of free passes
except in few limited instances.
No franchises shall be capitalized
in excess of the amount actually paid
to the State for the franchise.
The capital stock of q corpOrotion

Jonah in Court.

The question whether the whale
swallowed Jonah, with its somewhat
consequential and always associated
problems whether the whale could
have swallowed Jonah and Jonah
could have lived in the whales belly
for three days will come up in Mis-
souri, court for the hearing of teSti-
mony, argument and decision in Sep
tembcr. As is well known, the Jo-
nah story has long been subject of
discussion, theological, scientific,
archaeological and otherwise, the is
sue being whether it involved myth
or a miracle, but never before to my
knowledge has it demanded the form
al consideration of legal tribunal.
The manner in which it now gets
into the courts is this wise:
Rev. Gustavus A. Hoffman, who
was employed rs q secretary to the
Bible College of Missouri, gave a note
for s.. 600. After two years of SER
vice he was discharged and then he
refused to pay the note because, he
alleges, the college was teaching that
the story of Jonah's being swallowed
by the whale is Il myth. On the OBJ
legation the college has sued. 1t will
bc exceedingly interesting to read
the disquisitiOnS of the learned cOun-
sci on both sides, and the decision OF
the Judge is likely to be awaited with
no less interest. seeing in how far he
will admit documentary evidence, in
a case where all the witnesses to
the jcttisoning of Jonah are dead,
and have been dead for ages.

PERSONAL IMMORTALITY.
No Scientific Proof Of Impossibility of Life

No Scientific Proof of Impossibility of Life
After Death.
Personal Immortality in the
Light of Recent Science" is the title
of an article by DR.. Donald Sage
Mackay in the North 4mrriican Re
rier. To-day" he says, "a new
voice is speaking in science. To
quote further:
AS the deeper facts of existence
are being traced in ways unknown in
an earlier day, the man OF science
now tells us that there is no scientifi c
proof of the impOssibility of life after
death. The science of to-day does
not undertake to prove immortality,
but neither does she deny it. With
the newer light of recent research
before her, she goes thus far at least
and says: Scientifically, the doc
trine of immortality is not an impos-
sible delusion.' Huxley, for exam
pie, in one of his later essays has this
to say: If the belief in Immortality
is essential to morality. physical sci
ence has nothing to say against the
probability of that doctrine. 1t (phy-
steal scienc0 etfectually closes the
mouth of those who pretend to refute
immortality by objects deduced from
merely physical data.
The attitude of Huxley has found
even more distinctive affirmation in
recent years from such men of scien-
titic attainment as Sir Oliver Lodge,
John Fiske, Professors James and
Munsterberg of Harvard-all of whom
have written sympathetically and
hopefully of immortality not from
the standpoint of the Christian be-
lever, but from that of the unbiased

her any, and she said right away:

they ran into people and scared the
horses, but now no one thinks about
them. 1t won't be long before these
same folks that are making the fuss

and then everybody'll have to hunt

and how every little bit somebody
gives themselves away? If they did.

better not do it over the phone; bet

of Fourth or Main streets, or some
other secluded place, where there
won't so many hear them. Henry
