The Lost Cause and It's Soldiers.

Editor The Washington Herald.
Allow me to take issue with the opinion
expressed by Mr.. ". c. Harrington and
published in your columns June D. He
refers to the fact that the Confederate
veterans were allowed to walk down
Pennsylvania avenue. And why should
they not?
That they came in their uniforms. and
as Confederate veterans did not look as
though they thought there was any doubt
as to whether they had been right. or
that they were ashamed of The cause for
which they fought SO gloriously The
tributes just rendered 10 their beloved
leader did not indicate that there was any
doubt lin their minds to-day. any more
than there was over forty years ago, that
he was right and that they were right
It takes brave man to accept defeat,
as it takes a brave man to fight with de-
feat staring him in the face, but it only
adds to the glory of his cause that he
knows to be just. l would refer you to
the magnificent address delivered by the
governor of Virginia at Richmond few
days ago. He voiced the opinion of the
people he represented. We heard no dis
senting voice.
How any intelligent man. with the op-
poTtunities for informing himself that ex-
list to-day, can ask such question or ex-
press such opinions as our esteemed friend

Prices, the Tariff, and Roosevelt.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The causes of the increase In cost OF
living are a trust among the grocers and
a trust among the real estate owners.
The great majority Of the income here
is from clerks, and the merchant and
property owner contrive to place the
price of food SO as to take half the wage
every two weeks and the other half goes
for rent
1t is not the tariff-tariff revision is not
needed. The Republican party is not
justified, either as a matter of political
expediency or otherwise. in a revision.
The attitude Of President Roosevelt
has not put j check upon national pros
perity. There would be no season Of gov
eminent tranquility by a change in adj
ministration policies, but one Of turmoil,
strife. and disaster untold. Have you
ever tried to make peace with an angry
bulldog that you did not suffer the

Unbelief and the Church.

Editor The Washington Herald.
In a Washington newspaper Of last
Monday appeared an abstract Of a ser
mon delivered by the Rev DIT Harlan
to the professors and students OF the
George Washington University Is it
another case Of orthodoxy turning 10
heterodoxy? The reverend doctor is re-
ported as discountng the Bible and as
advising young people against being in
huenced by the religion of their parents
Pray. does DR.. Harlan believe in re-
vealed religion at ALL and where does he
get his revealed religion if not from the
Bible?
What a spectacle for men and angels
does Professionalism. with its multitude
nous sects and its shibboleths, present
to the world, It seems, as we scan the
religious horizon. we find Protestant
ministers only denying. or at least east
ing doubts on, the fundamentals OF the
Gospel Of Christ. Surely in this age,
have we an object lesson Of private judg-
ment making shipwreck of the faiths
of many young persons glad to excuse
themselves, since Drs. Briggs, Heber
Newton. Algeruon Crapsey. &c, and the
higher critics. have led the way TO
rank unbelief in the Christian revelation.
If the churches are empty to-day. as is
alleged, is it not because of that failing
away spoken Of in the Scriptures? St
Paul says the Word of God is not bound.
His church is not bound, nor can il be
destroyed since its great head. our
blessed Lord Himself will keep it till
the end of time These are strenuous
times In the religious world as well as
in the secular, and very sad indeed is the
fact that so many earnest souls are left
in the slough Of unbeief, when they
might be 'p4rtakers Of blessings in their
Fathers house. b, V. DARRELL.

Early Prints of the Bible.

Editor The Washington Herald
A correspondent of mine stated some
time ago that there were nineteen Ger
latlon, published in that country, and he
named one in the Library of Congress.
Such is the fact. At the end Of the Ger
man folio was the date 1857. Desiring
to know about the other translations. 1
wrote to a competent librarian in Lon
don, and in answer to my letter he said:
Those who say that there were nineteen different
TRANSACTIONS Of the New Testament into German
printed before that Of Luther are not far wrong
There are thirteen different editions Tor issuosD of
the Bible in German in the British Museum and
Badeian Libraries. printed before Luthers. Yet
those who say that Luther gave the Bible to the
German people are not incorrect, for his transla-
ton became, and remains, the Bible Of Protestant
Germany.
Luther did not give his followers the whole Of
the New Testament. believe he rejected Hebrews
and omitted the Apocalypse, as a farago Of non
sense.
I was not aware that Luther rejected
Hebrews or the Apocalypse, but have
long known that he repudiated the Epis-
tie Of James, which maintained justifca-
ton by works.
When he translated the New Testament
it may be doubted il he knew of the ex-
istence of prior printed translations, or
if he did. that he could obtain access to
any of them. They We're not publications
for the people. All but two We're foliOs.
and Luther issued his TRANSACTIONS as

The Post-road Clause,

Editor The Washington Herald:
The novel assertion. originating with
Mr.. E. H. Farrar, of New Orleans. in a
letter addressed 70 the President Of the
United States, that the clause Of the
Constitution granting to Congress the
power TO establish p0st-roads. by neces-
sary implication confers upon Congress
the power to regulate commerce, and
therefore 10 regulate the railroads. ap-
pears 20 be without any authority in
constitutional law or in judicial construc-
ton. In a recent decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States Estate of
Kansas VS.. State Of Colorado, decided
May IS, 1907 it was stated that section
S Of article / Of the Constitution men
lions and defines the legislative powers
granted 90 Congress. but makes no gen
eral grant Of legislative power. Hence it
has become an accepted rule that our ma
tional government is a government Of
enumerated powers. Section of article
/ Of the Constitution also provides that
Congress shall have power to make all
laws which shall be necessary and
proper for carrying into execution the
foregoing powers" This latter constitu-
tional provision applies specifically to
each one of the seventeen powers emu
merated in section s. and not to them col
lectiyely. Hence. by necessary implica-
ton. the power granted to establish post
roads embraces the power to make laws
in relation to all things necessary and
proper in order to establish and maintain
post-rOads, but has no reference TO the
power TO coin money, the power to pro-
mote the progress Of science and the
useful arts, the power to raise and sup
port armies, or any other one of the pow
ers enumerated in section OF article l.
Even If the power to take the railroads
for postal services be assumed, it is GER
tain that Congress would never sanction
a project so absurd. No occasion has
ever arisen for such action and. con-
ceiyably, none will ever rise in the con-
duct Of the postal service
II Is, therefore. mOnstrous to assume
that the power 10 establish post-roads.
or the incidental power to maintain post
roads and keep them at the highest point

The Achievements of Chamberlain

Editor The Washington Herald
BY a mistake of mine or the printer,
the name Churchill was substituted for
Chamberlain in my article on the plague
spots of Washington, published in The
Herald OF June p
Persons desiring 20 know the particu-
lars Of Chamberlan's great achievements
in Kidding Birmingham of its slums, and
providing sanitary homes for the poor,

Ralph. entitled "The Best Governed City
in the World" published in Harper's
Magazine for June. 1896, and also in

that system is in vogue.
