The Telephone in Religion.

The telephone has found it's way
into religion. 1t has come to be one
of the chief aids of the religious cam
paigners.
During a recent big revival in Kan
sas City some of the leaders conceived
the idea of utilizing the telephone to
reach those not readable in person.
The Bell company installed special
telephones in the workers headquar-
ters so the calling could be done from
there. The meditationS of a house
wife or business man were often in
terrupted by the telephone bell and a
few seconds later this would come
"Heilo." 1--WE wish to invite you
to the revival now being conducted by
the churches Of Kansas City"
And the telephone invitation
brought them out, too.
The most distinguished churchman
in the world IS one of the most con-
slant and enthusiastic telephone users
Sartos he left Venice to become Pope
I,eo's successor, he bade his friends
goodby He has never returned there,
of course, and never again will step
foot in the city SO long as the pope
remains a prisoner in the vatican.
Shortly before he became high pontih
a telephone had been installed in the
vatican and since then his friends and
former parishioners have heard his
voice many times over the wire. Last
Easter he bestowed the apostolic
blessing on his old parishioners by
means of the telephone.
One enterprising pastor in Mis-
souri, town got UP a telephone service
for his entire congregation on a
stormy Sunday evening when the roads
were not passable. 1t worked very
we'll until he came to the announce
ment Brother Blank will now pass
tn collection box" Then there was a
suppressed giggle all along the line.
The reverend gentleman afterwards
maintained that the telephone was q
fine thing in disagreeable weather but
mighty hard on the pastors salary.

A senator has figured it out that the
senate is doing a good deal more work
than the house. He says: There
have been 612 bills introduced In the
senate The senate has passed 265 OF
it's own bills and 1913 house bills,
total of 42S. There were S37 bills in
troduced in the house and the house

Documents in the congressional IL

the establishment of the mint was un-

there were some amusing debates in

The college edition of the Co.
lumbia Statate of last Wednes.
day was a splendid exhibition Of
journalistic enterprise that must
be appreciated everywhere.
Such a publication is an inspira-
tion to newspaper men all over
the country, and it sets a pace
worthy to follow. We have to
lift our hat to a newspaper that
FORCES it's way to the front rank,
and by merit made itself an ac-
knowledged leader Of thought
and a factor in the development
of a progressive South, industri-
ally and educationally. The
Columbia State has done a vast
amount Of good in developing a
healthy sentiment for education
in this State, and the fact that
50 many educational institutions
with such large graduating
classes are pictured and sent
broadcast over the land is alone
an education inspirer, and a
advertisement OF
South Carolina's future.

It is becoming clearer every
dav that if the national demo
cratic convention will chain
William Jennings Bryan down,
buck and gag him and then tie
the party nomination around his
neck. he will submit and accept,
so will Hon. William r. Hearst
and Benjamin R. Tillman; all OF
these great statesmen are meek
and lowly and willing to sacri-
fee themselves on the party's
altar. Of course Bryan has first
choice, and he should have, but
we have reached the conclusion
that it is high time for this emp
ty honor-the democratic nom
ination for president. to come
South, the section which furn.
ishes a majority of votes in the
electoral college. Why not
nominate Ben Tillman, has he
not recently, away out west,
done what other statesmen were
afraid to do? 1t is reported that
he said Hartman ought to be
in hell" even Roosevelt, dash
ing, daring, strenuous man OF
words and action, never said
that, but Tillman did, and there
is no use for the News and Cou
rier trying to take away from
him his glory, oy pretending to
defend, or rather deny that he
said such a thing. He said it,
and is entitled to a practical ac'
knowledgement of greatness by
his party, and he should be
made the party's nominee for
president. Tillman cannot be
elected. some might say can Bry-
an? Does not Tillman come
from the section which supplies
the democratic party with a
majority of its votes? Put Till
man at the head of the ticket
and he will carry the South.
that is about all Bryan can do
and that is about all any other
democrat can do. Then why
not sive this empty honor to the
man who is brave enough to say
