ECCLESIASTICAL FOLLY.

The kind and character Of the resolutions
passed al the Presbyterian Synod at Guth-
rie last week anent the BiIlups bill indi-
Gates how easily the clergy is imposed
upon and how utterly impractical the
ministry is in matters of politics A few
politicians among the preachers of any
denomination can generally lead the
whole body into ridiculous situations and
excesses.
That so staid and ultra-righteous gath
erine as Presbyterian Synod could be led
blindfolded into the tacit endorsement of
Governor Haskell. who is just now busily
engaged in brushing his own skirts, is al
most beyond belief. The editor of this
paper is a democrat ard a Presbyterian
which may or may not be a strange or
unusual combination, but he is both from
mate and Unborn principle. But even at
the great risk of falling from grace, we
finally persevere in the belief that the said
Blups bill is a delusion and a snare, and
that the resolutions OF the Synod bespeaks
the folly of great ecclesiastical body
rushing into the breach 70 save an exceed
ingly smoothe politician from an unfcrtu-
nate situation.
Haskell. like Roosevelt, is riding booted
and spuued, over the people and demand
ing support and endorsement from every

BULLET ENDS WEDDING PLANS.
Bride Is Dying and Police Seek Youth
Who Opposed Big Ceremony.

T New York, Sept. 26.-Seventeen-
year-old Antoinette Alne is dying in a
Brooklyn hospital and the police are
searching for Pasquale Agnie, young
man of 20 years. to whom she was to
have been married within a few
weeks. The girl, has bullet wound
in her abdomen.
From information obtained at the
girls home after the shooting it ap-
pears that there has been a serious
misunderstanding between the young
pair. growing out of plans for their
approaching wedding. Antoinette and
her parents wanted big public we'd
ding, and with much ceremony
Agnie, however, told them he had
no use for church weddings, that he
would have none of it, and that he
and Antoinette would be married
quietly by justice Of the peace or
not at all.
Antoinette fretted over the denial Of
her wish to have a great wedding" T"
and 1t is believed that in flt of des-
pondency resulting from brooding
over 1t, she fired the shot which prob
ably will end her life.
