Old-Time Religion Not Wanted.
The Rev. Samuel Durham, OF
Stamford, Conn, is out OF job. He
has been the pastor of the Congrega-
tional Church at that place for sew
eral years past, and he might still be
| if he had only had enough sense to
preach poetical moonshine and
weak philosophy and let the Bible
alone or count it back-number
book
This silly man read the thirty
ninth chapter of Genesis to his con-
gregation, and from the story of Jo-
Iseph he gave them sermon on temp
tation, and the the church gave him
his walking papers, as the majority
of them decided that it was improper
for minister to mention such sub
jects. AS they paid him the large
60 salary of 5000 a year, they felt
that they were entitled to higher
grade subjects than temptation.
Such themes may be good enough
for common people and heathens,
but the high-caste Christians CD
have to be fed on high-grade food,
and il spiritual pills are given them,
they must be nicely sugar-coated.
Not much wonder that the pulpit
has not the power today that it once
had. Plain preaching from the pull
pit is not in demand in many places
Glittering generalities please people
and make them good. Isn't that so?
The Glory of Autumn.
The autumn days fill one with the
joy of living, even though we have
ito mourn over the withered stalks
where week ago we gathered the
beautiful blossoms They filled their
mission well; they gave us joy while
they were with us, and we turn
from them to the cleaning glory of
the autumn foliage.
Glorious are the days of autumn,
Full of flaming hues and sheen;
Autumn robes herself in dying
Like old Egypt's lovely queen.
With her crimson robes around her,
Royal purple on her breast,
With her life still full of beauty,
Cleopatra passed to rest.
In bright blossoms death was hidden
For she fain would pass away
With the brightest hues around her
Emblems of her regal sway.
Hear the voice of autumn saying,
II must die, but ere | fade
will fill the land with beauty
While a grave for me is made"
But like a fevers flushing,
Which presages swift decline,
Is the beauty of the forest
In the glorious autumn time.
BY the purple haze that fingers
Ger the naples tinted red,
BY the aspens painted yellow
We may know that summers dead.

THE GOOD ROADS CAMP.

Much of The Caucasians space Is
given today TO the good roads convict
camp and to the public roads under q
system which, frankly stated, IS farcical
The revelations as given publicity by
the press, after thorough and impair
tial investigation, sustained by the re-
port of the grand jury, simply confirms
a condition which had been frequently
ventilated but which unfortunately re-
ceived little consideration from the att
tlorities having the power to abate this
inhuman treatment of prisoners and to
check the reckless expenditure of money
In defense of the system which is be-
ing considered Imrcscrvedly there have
been jealous apologists for the good
roads system and before grand juries,
preceding the grand jury OF this present
term of the court, have appeared wit
ncsses who have whitewashed the sys-
TEN thoroughly and completely.
Now that all this whitewasling has
been scaled off and the system laid bare
10 public view, il remains to be seen if
the authorities will permit this scandal
70 flourish with inpunity as a green bay
tree. or whether such remedies shall be
applied consistent with reasonable
economy securing practical results such
as would be expected by men in bust
ness.
The question is plain and can not be
craded To use phrase common on the
street but which is very forcefu1 1T is
mp 70 the Police jury to be doing some
thing
The people will not be satisfied with
any Inakeshifts. 1t must be a radical i'm
provemelft for the better or the complete
abolition of system which is ruinous

ton.

HOLDING ON TO LANDS
President Recommends This Action
In a Message.
SUGGESTION Is MADE
That the Government Retain Title
to Western Properties Contain
Ing Coal and Other Neces-
sary luel.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE president
sent to.both houses Of congress We'd
Aesday a long message calling attention
10 what he terms the urgent need of
legislation affecting the different
phases of the public land situation in
The United States. He advocates the
conservation of coal and other fuel re-
sources on lands still belonging to the
government, saying that henceforth
the nation should retain it's titles to
fuel resources. He urges that the gov
eminent control the western public
land pastures with system of small
grazing fees, etc, and asks for an ap-
preparation of $500 900, immediately
available, in addition to present esti-
mates, to aid i'll detecting and prevent
ing land frauds. He contends for a
system of the government leasing it's
mineral lands and for treating the fuel
lands as public utilities. The presi
dent points out that it would have been
better il some of the eastern coal lands
mad been left under government CON
troll and suggests this provision in the
west: Against the recurrence of
conditions We deplore in the east. -
Citing 1890 cases of public land en-
tries in four districts mentioned, the
president says noncompliance with the
law we found in over half of them and
deliberate fraud in many cases.
