AGREEMENT PLAN
A Hot Debate in Presbyterian General
.Assembly-Hon. T. b. Fraser Talks.

Birmingham, Ala, May 21.-The
articles Of agreement took UP the
greater part of two business sessions
of the Southern Presbyterian general
assembly today, closing the five hours
allotted to the debaters on each side
with exhaustive addresses. The ques-
ton is the order for all Of tomorrow
and it is hoped that by night will be
reached.
w. S. Fleming, OF Columbia, Tenn,
opened the debate against the adop-
ton Of the articles and was followed
by Egbert W. Smith, Of Louisville,
KY. He said the arguments against
the articles were based on unconsti-
tutionality coming from suspicion Of
the Northern church, from self-com-
placency and from fear, all Of which
were in his opinion unwarranted, as
he believed the Northern church safe
and sane and more advanced in many
matters than the Southern.
T. 3. Fraser, from Harmony pres
bytery, said that the question was
one of life or death Of the church Of
the living God, and closing dramati-
eally crushed the copy Of the articles
which heh ED in his hand and flung
it to the floor.
S. w. William Alexander, Of New
Orleans, who was a member of the
Charlotte conference which drew up
the articles claimed that his purpose
in favoring adoption was that the ar
ticles would erect a barrier, close the
draw bridge between the Southern
church and orga- -ic union; that as
long as the articles are in force no
union with churches would be posi-
Bile and added: 81 consider organic
union a crime until we have light
= Dr.. Russell Cecil, OF Richmond, Va,
based his arguments upon the ground
that the articles are absolutely use
less and needless so far as bringing
about the desired purpose Of unity
and cooperation is concerned, since
the Pan-Presbyterian alliance fills
that function already. He said the
articles are dangerous because indef-
mite, a mere non-descript born into
the world, dangerous because they
tend to form entanglements which
might result in organic union.
In discussing organic union he said
the Northern church is divided into
two parties, comprehensive. party,
which wants a big church, and IS
loose in the confession Of faith, and q
conservative party which wants union
with the Southern church in order to
strengthen its ranks. For these rea-
sons he did not believe that the
Southern church could ever unite
with the Northern church an'l con-
tinue to be loyal to the Calvanistic
doctrines of its faith.
Allen G.. Hall, Of the Vanderbilt
university very ,ninutely described the
constitutionality Of the articles. claim
ing thae the constitution authorized
their adoption.

Birmingham, Ala, May 23.-By
vote of 81 to So, the general assembly
cf the Southern Presbyterian church
today voted in favor Of adopting the
Charlotte articles Of agreement. This
result was reached only after one Of
the most heated discussions in the
history Of the church and a historical
scene was enacted as the assembly
placed the church on record as favor

holding the Presbyterian form of wor-

1t is the younger men of the church
who have achieved this result, the
older commissioners being for the
most part in opposition. The vote on

A CONSTITUTIONAL DISCOVERY

The letter of Judge Farrar of New Orleans, arguing that the federal gov. .ernment can take absolute control of all the railroads of the country under the power given to congress by the constitution "to establish postoffices and postroads," would have attracted little attention, had not the writer an. nounced, after an interview with the president, that the letter was made pub. lie "with the president s permission and at his request
 Fearful souls see in this another big stick" added to those which the president has in soak for the railroads It is at least wonderful constitutional discovery. Judge Farrar's contention is that "just as the government, in the exercise of its power to borrow

money and collect taxes, created the whole national ban king system, just SO, under its power to establish postroads, it may organize corporations for the purpose of building and operating such roads to carry the mails, v etc. He maintains that the power now exercised by the interstate commerce commission is not adequate to meet the case, be- cause "there is an immense mass of commerce which is absolutely interstate and over which the congress, by virtue of its commercial power, has no juris- diction." Tho power to establish post roads, he contends, lis co-extensive with the United States" and gives to congress the right to nationalize the railroads, to provide all the terms and conditions for their use and operation, and to create corporations as instru' ments to facilitate the government in the performance of this exclusive func- tion.p
 With an imagination and scorn of practicalities surpassing those of Mir. Bryan, Judge Farrar proposes to secure government control of the railroads, not by ,confscating or buying them, nor by building continental trunk lines, to run in competition with the existing systems and force them to "come to terms," but by the simple process of requiring these companies to become federal corporations and to assign their title to rights of way to the United States, which would magnanimously grant the right perpetually to use these rights of way for transportation pur poses to the corporations organized by it, under the conditions and limitations fixed by the law of their organiza- tion.
 How simple, yet how sufficient! The owners of sl5,OOO,OOO,OOO worth of rail road property have only to surrender their charters, rights of way and other valuable assets to a paternal govern ment, in exchange for leases in perpet- uity to manage their own property un- der conditions and limitations" i'm posed by whatever party of gang of politicians happens at the time to be in control of the government. Is it any wonder that Mir. Bryan and Mir. Hearst have retired temporarily behind the door to kick themselves for not having thought of this brilliant seheme'
 As for Mir. Roosevelt 8 reasons for desiring its publication, they can only be guessed at. It may be that it is simply another of his ingenious meth ods for reeonciling the railroad officials to the sort of regulation which he is now applying and has in mind. It is at least a suggestive incident.

BOOMERS FOR THIRD TERM
Three Glasses Who Are Asking MT
 s' Roosevelt to Run Again

The men who are so assiduOusly pro- noting the third term bloom" may be roughly divided into three classes, says the Chicago Tribune.
 They are, first, the ofiieeholders, who feel bound by gratitude or "lively expectation of favors to come" to sup port the present administration for an indefinite number of terms. Teddyism lies in the mouth of offieeholding, and it is part of the duty of the small office holder to advocate the election of his chief for as many terms as he is will ing to serve. The offieeholder in re- turn expects to be renominated to the office he holds at present or to be given better one.
 Next, there are the politicians who believe-mistakedly, as we think-that the reelection of President Roosevelt would be accomplished by as large ma. jorities as in his election to a second term. This would sweep into office nearly every Republican candidate in the inorthwest-state, city and county. It would make the campaign easy for the politicians. It might even have the effect of reducing campaign assessments, as everybody who should be nominated on a Republican ticket in states like Illinois, Michigan and Ohio, would ex- pect to be elected without much effort and also without much merit on his own part.
 Third, there are number of sincere admirers of President Roosevelt who think the welfare of the country wolud be promoted by his election to a third term, We believe that these admirers are in the minority of those who voted the Republican ticket in 1904 The ex. pression of feeling in favor of the third term is, first of all, that of the bois. terous gentlemen who begin early to make themselves heard in political cam paigns, but who do not have the de. cisive voice when the election takes place. That voice comes from the great mass of the people, not commonly known to the politicians, who are quiet ly pursuing their ordinary vacations and are still doing good deal of thinking. They are in no mood to have their hands forced by officeholders or sycophants.
 The country has not yet been heard from on the third term question. It will be heard from if the denomination of President Roosevelt shall be serious ly proposed, and its expression of opin. ion will be even more vociferous if through any misadventure the renomin. ation should occur. We believe, as we said before, that the feeling among the masses against the third term is deep and abiding, although at present it may be latent, as no sufficient provocation has yet arisen for its positive expres- sion.

THE sTRENUosITY OF INDIANA

Because Hon. Charles Warren Fair banks has that great love for pure, wholesome buttermilk that all loyal sons of Indiana boast, says the Wash. ington Herald, facetious ones have sought to convey the impression that the Hoosier state is not as truly stren- uOus as the trend of the times demands of all up-to-date localities and sections.
 Such is grave mistake, and we herewith present indisputable evidence in support of our emphatic denial and refutation:
 Benjamin Reed, who is just home from Seymour, broke two of his sister s ribs today while embracing her.-Ev- ansville news item.
 Josh Simpson playfully seized and hugged Miss Hulda Morgan as she was passing the Mansion house last night and dislocated her neek.-Poseyvill news item.
 Tillman Noylan is carrying his hand in a sling, the result of a grip given him Tuesday by Tom Russ. Tom did not know how strong he was.-Frank. fort Sun. ,e.-
 We respectfully submit that the above items of surrent happenings, culled as they are from truthful and highly respectable Indiana papers, con. stitute an exhibit in defense of Indi- ana s strenuosity unparalleled through out all the land, and not at all likely to be equaled soon. It shows that the Hoosiers are enthusiastic in all of their affairs involving in any wise the senti. mental side of things
 If MT. Fairbanks be presented to the next Republican national convention as Indiana s "favorite son. he will be backed by solid and compact body. guard from rampant and strenuous Hoosierdom that balks not at mountains nor hesitates in the face of the most aggressive opposition.
 Let the heather outside of Indiana rage and imagine vain things. Butter. milk has nourished many hero and formed the foundation of many a con stitution attuned to withstand the slings and arrows of the most outrage. ous fortune, and never bat an eye. Therefore, let's no more of "throwing off on buttermilk, nor any true lover thereof.
