BIBLE QUOTATION
USED WITH EFFECT
Senator Dillingham; Wants Old
Law Repealed
SENATOR PETTUS QUOTED
Secretary Straus Will Leave for a
Visit to His Old Home in Georgia.
President is Not Blamed for
Ousting Postmaster.
SENATOR PETTUS QUOTED

Washington, April 1-(Special 1.-The late
Senator Pettus of Alabama was a great
student of the Bible, and frequently quot
ed from it in support of arguments he
would advance in committee and on the
floor of the Senate. Today Senator Dill
lingham reported from the judiciary COM
mittee a bill repeating a section of the
revised statutes enacted during recon-
struction days. The section prohibits the
payment of any claim against the United
States originating before the civil war
to anyone who did not prove his loyalty
to the United States during that war.
Senator Dillingham; incorporated in his
report an argument of the late Sena tor
Pettus on similar measure. General
Pettus said that the proclamation of gem
eral amnesty and pardon to the Confeder-
ates covered the case; in other words,
that the pardon of the President in
temporal sense has the same effect as
the pardon of our Master as declared in
the Bible: Let the wicked man forsai<e
his ways and the unrighteous man his
thoughts and the sin which he has sinned
shall be mentioned unto him no more for
ever"
Secretary Straus of the department of
commerce and labor, accompanied by
Mrs. Straus and their daughter, Mrs.
Hochstader, will leave Washington tonlor-
row for trip south, where the secretary
is scheduled to make several addresses.
He will speak on Our Commercial Age
before the Board of Trade in Savannah.
He will also deliver an address in Co
lumbus, Ca, on industrial and educational
matters
While in the south Secretary Straus will
pay visit to his old home place, Tall
bottom. Ca, where he was reared until
he was years of age, and where he at
tended the Baptist Sunday school, fact
that Is now pointed to as showing the
tolerant religious spirit of his father. who
was of the Hebrew faith and religion
the son is today.
The EvansssSanders faction does not
seem disposed to blame the President for
ousting Postmaster Jackson of Columbia,
Tenn, for his activity in behalf of Sec
retary Taft. Jackson himself is said TO
have regarded the matter with equaninl-
ity. He has been made an example OF
by the administration, which is in po-
sition to say that the cry about the fed
eral officeholders running the prelni-
naries of the republican fight is started.
In case Taft is nominated and elected
Jackson will be among the first taken

ready picked out an office for him.

NOTES.

From all reports the teachers
went away we'll satisfied with Deni-
son hospitality. 1t is certain all
visitors were welcome, and that
many more than came could have
been amply cared for.
The ladies of the Federated Clubs
who gave meals in the assembly room
of the library report that they re-
ceived nearly $3.50. There were
times when they could not wait on
the people fast enough, but those who
remained until others were done, had
plenty to eat.
Denison musical talent appeared
to good advantage throughout the
association meeting. In our account
we have tried rather to present what
the lecturers said, than to speak of
what our own people did The visit
ors were loud in praises of the muse.
The advantages of the new hotel
were shown in the ability to give
the reception on Thursday evening
SO conveniently. The ladies of the
S. S. Club did honor to themselves
and Denison by the manner in viii h
they arranged affairs that night.
AT the business session on Satur-
day morning the following officers
were elected for the coming year
President, w. e. Salisbury of Clar-
linda: vice president, Supt Hoffman of
Denison: Secretary Mrs. Parker of

mittee. j. II. Beveridge. Council

entation of the excellent program.
Your committee farther recommend
that the system of advance enroll
ment as now followed by few
schools in the section be commended
to all; and that the superintendent
of each town see that the enrolment
fees of the teachers be sent in advance.
We believe such a plan will be val
liable to the Executive Committee
and will serve better the interests of
the district.
Resolved. That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to each of the
newspapers for publication.

GREAT MEETING OF EDUCATORS.
Continued from page one.

buck endeavored to give an "Inter-
probation of the 'Teens.'' At the
period in PERSONS life known as the
teens" a great change takes place
both physical and mental. and at
this time many students formerly
bright and capable. become dull and
apparently stupid. This condition
should not be regarded as an indica-
tion of mental weakness but only as
q part of the natural growth. At
this time the 10 ly makes remarkable
growth and of necessity the mental
activities slacken their pace. The
child wisely dne.ted at this tine
will pass on into Il g higher stage of
development strong, healthy student.
Unwisely treated he will drift out of
school and into the vast army of the
uneducated. At this period of life
comes also what is termed the waking
of the soul to a consciousness of it's
possibilities-a time when the youth
says within himself "Henceforth |
am to be man.
1t must be wise teacher who sees
and understands these changes in
the student and meets his require
ments with just the right food for
a new born soul. One of the speak
er's main thoughts was that any sane
teacher will naturally be full of
the subject which he teaches. but
above and beyond that he should
be filled with large self and his
personality should so fill the child
that instead of being conscious that
he is being taught history ETC.. he
may realize that he is being filled
with the power to be man. To the
student of psychology DR.. Starbuck' 8
talks were a delight. and to any who
have neglected this important subject
they could not fail to be helpful in
creating a desire to study into the
profound depths of the human soul
that great and noble men and women
may be the product of cur schools.
