His church. declared the preacher. This
authority given 10 st. Peter Is summed
up in the words Of the Bible. in which
the Divine Master says. Thou art ST

EXPLAINS HIS BILL
SENATOR BOURNE WANTS PREsI-
 DENTS Es9Isx 4N nsTs |
Declares Thaf if A Nznn if Big Enough to Be President He is Big Enough to R&eetve Bfg
 Salary. z

Washington, Dec. 1s.--Exp1aining his Bill increasing the salaries of the Pres. ident and Vice. President. Senator Jon. athan Bourne. IT,, of oregon, today said that aside from all sentiment in the matter. he Is of the opinion that the man who is big enough to be Presy ldent of the United States. the biggest corporation in the world is certainly as big as the President of railroad or of manufacturing concern and should be paid as a business propoa1- tion what the demands of the posfuon indicate as fair compensation: - Y
 He declared that he also would make. the extra hazardous risk of the posi- ton a basis for the justice of his bill He said that while the salary of to- days business manager is measured by the magnitude of the enterprise as well as by his fitness. the Presidents sal ary has never borne any relatively ad- eouate proportion to the mental and physical work and worry of the prop. osition which are annually increasing.
 The President is charged. d."-he add ed,g with graver and greater respensi- bilities than, any other person In the world. The cures, attentiven ess, alert ness and elimination of personal Inter. est necessary for good service. are con- tinuous and is a terrific strain on the mental and physical vfgor of the chief executive. The tenure of life of the Residents since and Including the eld- CT Harrison. has decreased perceptibly. Senator Bourne called attention also to the fact that the PNsident of France receives ss11Ase80$as. a personal salary. and like amount for executive expenses. He said the comp lparison does our country no credit when it is re- mennbared that our natioBaI wealth is, estimated at s127 GOO. .00O;090 while that of France Is estimated at only s54,0eQ,- 000, ,00O. Another reason which he gave why the Presidents salary should be ra sed is that "as a rule those who have served our country as President have generally devoted their preceding years more or less to public service and therefore have not entered the office well equipped with this worlds goods. It is a fact that almost every man who enters public life poor. dies poor
 whioh seems to be the penalty of pub lie service in America although it is hattering commentary on the integrity of our public servants ,'' -''
 Mir. Bournes bill provides that the President shall receive a salary of $1O0.0oO and the Vice-President S25.- 900.

FIERCE ONRUSHES OF THE

Tn one of the fastest and most i'm .ELestlng games Of football played on the loeaf gridtron, the Barness fast eleven defeated the Edgar Boys yes Ieraay afternoon at Capitol Heights Bal Park. ty the score of IS to ?. Both teams were about t-eveaIy match ed and played good ball throughout the entire game.
 The fierce buching of the Barnes line. however, proved too much for the Ed saris sss ns svsrS snd sy lnsy Esrs s sea.sn back by Gibbons and Jamison. especially, did great deal towards running up Ine score. For Edgar, Douglass and solomon were. easily the ntars.
 Barnes sscarried the ball down the meId untii, about twenty yards from their zeal when they were stopped by the Edgar team. A--Csfb bons, however, seized the ballsand carried 1t beyond the goal post Browder mode the sec ond touchdown, while Finn made the third. For Edgar.

REVISION OF RULES
[ sTHE PROGRESS MADE ssg '
one Insurgent Expresses Hinself as
 Certain that at Least one Change : ~ Win bo Made in ths
 ffl Rules.

Washington, Dec. ls.-rhe insur- gents against the present rules in the House are leaving Washington for their homes, Jubilant over the pro- lRfess they have made in stirring up an insurrection in the republican ranks. They will tell their constitu- ents that before the end of the season the rules will be amended
 One of the insurgents expressed him self today as certain that at least one change will be made in the rules. He. said that he believed that there would be no opposition to 1t at a republi- can caucus. That amendment would provide for a day each week for the call of committees on bilIs. on. the un- ion calendar and on the house calen- dar.
 Some of the most optimistic cliam that this is all that is necessary to get relief from the present rules. A call of the committee would enable the committee to get before the house all of the important bills of the various kinds. it is urged, and would relieve the speaker of liability to- charges of preventing change which was de- manded by the people Ineomuch as the house would have an Opportunity to pass on the bills In the. course of short period, surely during the ses- sion of congress, the I packing of committee against & bill would have no other effect than the influence of the opinion of It's members upon those who had not investigated the subject thoroughly. Il
 It is acknowledged by Some of the leaders of the insurgents that the only hope of amending the rules lies in the action of minority. Ever since con- gress convened, emissaries from the Insurgents have been in conferences with the democrats. The minority lea der. Representative Champ. Clark. of Missouri. does not feel himself bound in binding his party to any program until he sees how the republicans will line up. He objects to forming an al- liance with the insurgents which he fears may eventually be broken when the majority of them must recognize that they are losing and "leave the democrats holding the bag while the republicans would get all the glory"
 = The minority Is willing to stand for an. amendment of the rules, it Is un- derstood, in accordance with the plat form of the Denver convention but it would like to get just as much credit as possible for the reforms.

President Murphy of Chicago Club
 Comments on DecistOn.
 Chicago, Dec. 19.-"Now that the re- port of the National Commission has been made, I want to fire a farewell shot" said Charles Murphy, President of the Chicago National League team today, commenting on the decision of the Commission -yesterday-- on the worlds championship series sealping case. the thing was on. as 1t would seem: like an attempt to influence the decis- ion. The paragraph of the Comnis- sion's report to the effect that there were no tickets on sale at the park Is. incorrect. The sale of tickets began at the park offices at l D. m. and con- tinued until the line of buyers had melted away. The story that MT / Cook took a large package of tick cts to the Scalper has been refuted by the police officers who escortedS.'Afr. Cook during the time he had the tickets In his possession. The fact that the tick cts were not on sale down town at the advertised time was due to delay in the preparation of the tickets which had not been delivered in time by the print CT. My own Illness was doubtless re- sponsible for much of the trouble and confusion" ,v s@
