Muskogee, !. T., Sept. 3.-Before the

there will have heen completed the
last session of one of the most novel

Shorn of its power of making and

All of the Chickasaw Indians are
ownrs of much land and on their
shoulders will fall much of the burden
of taxation for the support of the gov

The federal government has a con.

free from the sale of townsites and
these funds the Indians desire to have

l|lN MINERS
HOLD CONVENTION
in old ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Ark. Sept. S.-Hun-
dreds of union farmers, representing
the new order of things in agriculture,
In which the producers instead of ex-
change gamblers, fix the price of their
products, are in attendance today at
the national convention of the Farm
ers' Educational and Cooperative
union.
Over a score of states are repre-
sented at this cosmopolitan gathering
of tillers of the soil.
Many important problems vitality af-
fecting the agricultural interests of
the country will be discussed during
the sessions of the union. The union
is most perfectly organized in the
Southern states, where, with the cot
ton growers association, it practically
controls the price of the fieecy staple.
That the union has been highly sue
cessful during its short span of its ex-
istence is shown by the fact that, be-
fore its organization, cotton sold as
low as five cents, has since been raised
to ten and twelve cents, and is likely
this year to go as high as fifteen cents.
This has ben accomplished mainly
by the eerction of warehouses for the
storing of the crop until the price de-
manded could be secured. In Texas.
the leading cotton state, the union has
800 warehouses, with a. storage ca
pacity of more than a million bales.
During the last year more than $50
warehouses have been constructed.
The union has its head warehouses
at Houston, the greatest cotton market
in the world, while many other i'm
portant shipping, seaport and distrib-
uting cities throughout the South have
also large warehouses.
The union represents the new idea
in the organization of farmers. 1t is
strictly business body, entirely diff
ferent from tht old Grange and Far
mers' Alliance.
While the members naturally con-
stitute factor to be considered by
the politicians, the union is strictly
non-1partisan and no political discus
sions are allowed at conventions or
meetings. In many states the Farm
ers' Union has affected an alliance
with the declarations of trade unions.
In the old Grange days the farm
ers were antagonistic TO labor unions
and sought to force down the price
of the goods they purchased. The new
movement co-operates with the labor
ers in other fields of endeavor and
does not attempt TO cheaper labor or
ehe2pen prices of manufactured goods,
except so far. as to eliminate the pro-
fits of middlemen. "The laborer is
worthy of his hire" is the motto of
the Farmers union and they selk to
make it applicable to all tradk as we'll
their own.

Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-19

ominous for the Republican railroad
machine and full of hope for the people.
The cohesive power of public plumber
is already broken in San Francisco,
whence heretofore has radiated all the
thievery and corruption of state af-
fairs. Ruef and Schmitz and Herrin
and all the machine leaders are under
the lash and scorn of the people, and
some of them are already fighting a
deathly fight to escape the peniten-
tiary for high crimes and misde-
meanors. The Republican machine at
last stands pilloried and whipped of
justice, and public sentiment is arous-
Ing to the necessity of sweeping from
oftice and power the entire machine
body that has robbed and plundersd
them.
In contemplation of these facts-good,
wholesome, honest facts--it behooves
the Democratic party to take stock of
its leadership and put to the front Its
most deserving and patriotic adherents.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-19
GROOMING ITS LEADERSHIP

IT should not unduly excite the rlsl-
bilities of the Republican railroad ma
chine in California to learn that in Los
Angeles, at a gathering Of prominent
Democrats Friday night Verltaple
booms were launched for Mayor Arthur
C. Harper for governor and Hon. Iheo-
dore A. Bell for United States senator
'In time of war prepare for peace
is Just as patriotic sentiment as the
reverse. And there is already moral
certainty that Immediately following
the present war against graft and cor
r,1ption and Republican machine poll
tics. that is being waged up and down
the length and breadth of this state
the Democratic party will surely ma
itself the repository of responsibility
for the administration of public affairs.
In view of such prospect, is 1t not
proper and reasonable that patriotic
Democrats should begin now to can
vass their leadership and put 10 the
front men of such pre-eminent public
and private character as will attract
the daily attention of all good citizens?
For instance, if it shall be shown,
during the next three years, that the
conduct of Mr.. Harper as mayor of
Los Angeles is distinguished for
honesty, economy, enterprise and the
general advancement of city and state,
why shouldn't he be chosen governor Of
California? Men who have made such
a reputation are powerful scarce in
the history of Republican railroad
machine politics in this state, and it is
now certain that the disgusted citizens
of California are doing as did old
Diogenes-going about with lighted
lantern in search OF honest men in
whom they can safely place the admin
istration of their public affairs
And as for the senatorship, Califor-
mia is indescribably weary of owner
ship by the Southern Pacific railroad
company and the day is fast coming
when that corporation will be deprived
of the power of naming our senators.
When that day comes, if it ever shall,
who so competent to serve the Cali
fornia people honestly and fairly and
with distinction as Theodore Bell OF
Napa?
The whole situation in California is

Predicts a New and Greater Bible
From the New York world

wv York WOrlu
, ent day Bible. "While L recognlsss
varsion as an English classic" ne
said ''and that it will always be cheT-
isbed as such by students of English
literature l realize that the cnleI m
terest of religious readers is to come
as near as possible to the original
text" o,, e,,r+ber
with his new Bible than merely 10 ~
cornorate the sacred books of the he
brew and Christian religion. He says;
II do not believe that this enlarged
Bihle will satisfy all of the religious
needs of men. They will want 10
know the religious classics of other
nations. as. for instance, the Vedas,
the Buddhist Sutras, the Avesta, the
Koran and similar books"
Reverence Will Not Diminish
Prof. Schmidt expressed the opinion
that the millions who still regard these
hooks with special reverence Will not
abandon them for the Hebrew ana
Christian scriptures. They will turn
to these also for instruction ana IN
spiration.
"In addition to this" said Prof.
Schmidt, there are other rengious
classics not regarded as scripture put
rightly held in high esteem as means
of spiritual edification. 1t seems GER
tain that among these men of deep
religious interest will choose for pubic
and private reading such as seem TO
them most profitable. For example,
the Confessions of Marcus Aurelius
and the City of God" by st. Angus
tine; Thomas Kempis Imitation OF
a, Christian" and Calvin's Institutes"
Barclays Apology" Newman's "Apoi-
ogy," and Martineau's Seat of Au-
thority." Such a collection, for In
stance. as Stanton Colts Message OF
Man. indicates what can be done IN
this line.
The professor then continued to speak
of the Bible and the way 1t will be
regarded in the future. when the
Bible ceases to be looked upon as
standard Of faith and practice and the
sole source of religious knowledge II is
evident that men will select for them
selves the books that shall constitute
the Bible. They will make their own
Bible. And they will add to these
selections all such contemporaneouS
utterances of faith as may seem TO
them helpful. This is in reality what
the council Of the church and the great
reformers have done, only that the
concept of canonicity is unmistakably
fading away.
This changed estimate of the books
which have once held so large place
in the religious life of the Christian
world does not imply less regard for
their religious value. Not only as his
toric documents revealing the charac-
ter of a mighty religious movement in
the history of mankind but also as a
means of quickening the spiritual life
and strengthening the moral impulses
will these books continue to have their
great Significance"

ITHACA, N. Y.-"The Bible of the
future will again contain all of the
sacred books that have been elm
mated from it by a critical process in
the ancient synagogues and the early
Christian church." said Prof, Nathan
iel Schmidt of the department of Sc
mitic languages and oriental history
of Cornell university in an interview
with the World correspondent today
Prof, Schmidt was formerly a clergy
man, but for many years has been at
the head of the department he now
presides over at Cornell and is regard
ed as one of the most profound schol-
ars and thinkers in ithaca. He had
made long and searching studies Of
the scriptures, has travelled for years
in Palestine and Asia Minor and has
a reputation for his knowledge of He
brew and Biblical literature as well
as the literature of all the other re-
ligions Of the world.
"These books" declared Prof.
Schmidt, "were at one time in the
Bible. Some of them are now in the
Catholic Bible, but they have been
removed from the latter-day Protest
ant Bible They are mostly inacces-
sible to the general public, but We're
widely read by the synagogues and
the early church. I mean, for example,
such books as the Book of Wisdom OF
Jesus the Son of Sarach, the Wisdom
of Solomon, Judith, Tebit, the Books
Of the Maccabees, as we'll as the Psal-
ter of Solomon, the Apocalypses OF
Enoch, Baruch and Ezra. These books
will be restored to their place in the
canonical scriptures.
Gives His Reasons
Prof. Schmidt then gave his reasons
for this view. 1.-THE reasons that led
to their rejection" declared Prof.
early days whatever was objection
able to the doctrines of one church
was discarded by it and thrown aside"
He pointed out that the Protestant
church discarded the Apocalypses be-
cause 1t objected to some of the doc
trines they taught, for instance, sal
walton through good works. The Cath
olic church did likewise, and so did
the rabbis Of the Hebrew church.
"At the present time, however," de-
clared Prof. Schmidt, 1--WE are glad to
have every scrap Of writing that
throws light on the religious life of
the Hebrew and early Christian
church.
1.-THE Bible of the future, moreover,
will have to be constantly translated.
This will be necessitated by the con-
tinued study Of the text, by fresh ols-
coveries of texts, and by the continued
examination Of critics. 1t will also
become necessary to accompany each
by introductions and notes
to explain the age, composition and
character of each work and the OBJ
scure references in those works With
out such notes the ordinary reader
cannot get the knowledge of the
books"
Prof. Schmidt was careful to say
that he was not disparaging the pres
