DISCIPLINE FOR
CHURCH MEMBERS

The following interesting COMMUNE
cation signed Church Member" APP
peared in a recent issue of the South
western Presbyterian and 10 well
worthy of careful consideration:
Noticing an editorial in one OF our
recent papers about Sabbath desecra-
ton, was very much impressed with
the solemn truths, and have been
thinking along this line ever since as
to the best way to accomplish this
much needed reformation.
The editorial says: "The church
courts have passed numerous resolu-
tons about the Sunday trains, the
Sunday mails and the Sunday news
papers, and have sought in numerous
ways to stop these and other desecra-
tons of the Lords day of rest, but
that they go along unhindered because
church people continue to patronize
them, and if the church people would
withdraw their support, the protts
would be so small that it would not
be difficult to stop them, and that sucn
disobedience in the State would lay
one liable to prosecution, ought not
the refractory church members to be
disciplined for similar defiance Oh
law" To all of which ! say, Amen;
but it seems to me that before we can
even hope to bring about this mucn
needed reformation, the church SEES
slons will have to discipline their
members for profane swearing, gamp-
ling, drunkenness, and also the great
and heinous crime of entering the
sacred precincts of the home ana
despoling it, all of which crimes mem
4 bers Of the church are allowed to COM
nit and remain in good standing IN
the church-that is, 30 far as the ac'
n ton of the church sessions is con-
cerned. Until the church courts are
aroused to their duty. and the mem
bers who commit such crimes are
brought before the sessions OF theif
churches and made to answer FOR tne
sins they have committed, we neeo
never expect, or look for; the reforma-
ton in Sabbath observance wnicn Is

o1sstion.

NEW YORK, Oct 1s.-Thers has
been added interest 70 the investisa-
ton of the New York City Railway
Company BY the Public Service Com
mission. This has been supplied, OF
course. by Lemuel Ely Quigg. who
started in life as a correspondent OF
OF the Press, then entered politics by
defeating Isidor Straus for Congress
during the second Administration of
Grover Cleveland, latterly became
president Of the Republican County
Committee and ended by representing
the surface lines in Legislative mat
tiers.
Mr. Quigg testified in substance that
1t was the money of the New York
City Railway Company which brought
the organization OF number Of Citi'
zens' Associations to arouse sentiment
for and against certain franchises IN
der discussion by the Rapid Transit
Board and that it only took 500 to
get up a labor demonstration. This,
of course, was the sensational feature

were constant speakers before Legis'
lative Committees and the Rapid Tran

Yellow Dog Fund.

The fact that there was yellow
dog fund used at Albany during the
sessions of the Legislature was too
well known TO occasion any surprise
when Mr. Quigg admitted it. It would
be interesting to learn how much the
road spent trying to defeat the fran
chise tax during the Administration OF
Governor Roosevelt and the present
Public Service Law.
The present revelations have been
responsible for revival Of the prob
iem--how are yellow dog funds to be
done away with in the future? One
solution offered is more rigid sys-
tenn of accounts to be kept by corpor-
ations and open to inspection. The
idea is that any Legitimate payment
would then be revealed by the books.
Few are inclined to consider that the
situation could be remedied by this
method.
