LITERATURE is DISCUSSED.
There Is Need For Adoption of More
Modern Methods.

Rather a lively discussion arose over
the kinds of Friends literature that
should be read and distributed through
out the Friends church. Many of
those speaking, held hat not enough
attention was paid by the Friends of
today to the church's modern litera-
ture, and furthermore there was not
enough attention paid by h Friends
as a whole to church literature of any
kind. Charles Replogle. the delegate
from the Puget Sound quarterly meet
ing, and who on several instances has
voiced very modern ideas as to the con-
Quoting of the affairs in the church of
today. said that the Friends more than
any other religious denomination to-
day are, slack in preparing literature.
He voiced the feeling that the church
needed more literature and urged those
who were in any way able to prepare
tracts to do SO to aid the present scare
ity of readable Friends material.
Friends, he said, don't read because
reading matter is inaccessible. Mr..
Replogle said that the need for good
Friends reading matter on the coast
was great. The members there are
now agitating a circulating library that
books may be purchased and read by
all.
More Modern Literature.
Timothy Nicholson, in his talk said
that the time had come when the at
of all should be turned to mod
ern Friends literature. Friends
should keep up with the times and
study more than they do at the present.
Too few read enough about matters
to their own church. Be-
cause of this ignorance of Friends
caused by the lack OF read
ing. many congregations are too ready
to find fault with their pastors simply |
because he expresses to them more
ideas. expressed in the recent
Friends literature. Mr.. Nicholson
his hearers to pay more attention
to the general conference records. The
Rev. Luke Woodland has compiled a
book valuable in historical information

was recommended as was the book of
Revs. Nathan and Esther Frame,

his face and flank.

SPEAKS AT CELEBRATION.
EMANCIPATION DAY WAS OBJ
SERVED AT MOUNDS PARK
NEAR ANDERSON DESPITE THE
DlSAGREEABLE WEATHER.

Anderson, Ind, Sept. 26-Despite the
chilling breezes and falling tempera-
ture. an enthusiastic crowd attended
the Emancipation day celebration at
Mounds Park Wednesday and listened
to an address by Congressman James
E. Watson. Congressman Watson
was frequently %applauded. He was in
troduced by ex-State Senator E. E..
Hendee, who told the audience to es-
chew politics for the time being and
forget that Mr.. Watson was a candidate
for governor.
Mr.. Watson prefacad his address by
stating that the negro question of today
was being presented in three ways,
viz: What shall we do with them!
What shall they do with themselves?
ana what shall we do with each other?
In the solution of all important ques-
tions he said it was necessary to reduce
the proposition to some fundamental
principle, and in this case, the princi-
pie, he said, was one on which the very
foundation of our national integrity
rested-that of human equality. This
is a principle, he said, that had been
enunciated by the founders of this re-

Lee surrendered at Richmond.
THE South did not REBEL he said,
because it desired to disrupt the I'm
ion, but because it wished to perpetuate
a policy that permeated and dominated
the political, social and business fabric
of the wealthiest section of the coun-l
try at that time, and that was the sla-
very proposition. The negroes were
Iced and made citizens and given the
ballot and that was all that was given
them to start a new existence with,
save hope in the integrity Of the prom
Uses of the nation.
THE las, forty years has witnessed
a wonderful development of the colored
race, until IL BIAS become a mighty fac
tor in the political affairs OF tFe ma
ton and the question has risen:
What shall we do with them! The
Tillman theory is to shoot them. and
that was carried out in his state for a
time, according to his statement in the
halls of congress. Another theory IS
to treat them as white men are treated
n let them work OUT their own desti-
ny. This is in my opinion the proper
policy. Such men as Tillman are
working themselves into a frenzy over
the question as to what we shall do
with the negro. Why not let the ne
gro worry about the condition and do
for himself and the white mar look out
for his own interests.
Let the colored man have a chance
to work out his own destiny and then
If 1t fails some other method may be
tried"

Wells Hand Is Shown.

The day>was given over to the intro
duction of a mass of paper on file in
the land office here at Boise and to the
evidence of two men who said they re-
ceived money from John / Wells with
which to prove their timber land
claims. Wells is one of the ten indict-
ed with Senator Borah. Counsel for
the latter did not object to the testimo-
ny on the understanding that the trans
action in question would ultimately be
connected up in some way with the
senator on trial.
Intent Evidence Barred.
The defense scored its first point of
the trial early in the examination of
the first witness, a man named Ander-
son. He was asked by Prosecutor Rush
what his intent was when he took out
a timber claim. Judge Whitson, who
is presiding. sustained an objection
based on the ground that a man con
Tossing perjury as Anderson did could
not properly testify as % any secret in
tent he may have had locked up in his
breast.
Anderson and Nugent both testified
that they received from John /. Wells
SAP with which to prove their claims,
and each received $3.50 additional for
transferring the claims to the Barber
Lumber company's interests. The
bills were given to the men by Wells,
and a letter from Wells to Nugent were
admitted in evidence.

JUSTICE STILL ON GUARD.

Editorial from the Washington Post,
: September 13, 1907.
The Pennsylvania Court of Com
mon Pleas having decided that the
'tWo-cent fare Jaw enacted in that
State Is unconstitutional and void
1t Is in order for certain other State
authorities to- look closely into the
validity Of their Legislative efforts to
curb the railroads. The Pennsylva.
MIA case Is subject, Of course, to re-
view by the State Supreme Court.
The popularity Of laws designed to
cheaper railroad fares and bring
railroads to their knees Is so intoxi-
eating that Office seekers and would
be actors In greater arenas are likely
to mistake passing whim for the uni
versal and deliberate will Of the peo-
pie. ut Is pleasant to hear the huz-
zas OF the multitude, to be pictured
In the newspapers and magazines,
and to be hailed as the coming eman-
cipation of the downtrodden. The
cry Of the crowd has something in =
OF the, dtaholical poison of the
witches hail to Macbeth, stirring IN
the hearer dangerous ambitions. The
gltmmer Of the White House In the
dimly curtained future becomes a
fatal vision. Self-scrutiny and I'M
common sense Of proportion are re-
CURED to keep the victim, from be-
coming mad.
There Is not much danger to hon
estly conducted railroads in these
unconstitutional and passionate State
enactments. The courts are still on
guard, and occasionally there Is a
governor, like Hughes Of New York,
who remains firm against the seduc-
ton Of transient applause. If the
legislatures, North or South, at
tempt to solidify into law the passing
Wnd1ctiveness Of popular feeling,
they will find a stone wall beyond
which they cannot pass. The Con-
stitution, ordained by all the people
In their soberness, has provided that
property shall not be swept away by
injustice in the disguise of law.
Whether the State constitutions
make similar provision or not, the
legislatures and governors are sub
ject to the limitation. Popular de-
sire to punish" the railroads must
take some other form than laws that
confiscate the railroad property. If
the State courts are sWayed by the
passing storm, the Federal courts
will see that the ancient landmarks
are not destroyed.
The narrow-visioned ones who
think the pathway to the Presidency
mast be lined with continuous
crowd Of the common people cheer
ing the champion who acts always in
obedience to their will, whether it is
right or wrong, may learn little by
contemplating the action Of Governor
