PREsBYTER1ANs IN COUNCIL.
Desire for Union Into One Church
Manifest at Kansas City Meeting.

KANSAS CITY. May 22-With the
committee the one hundred and twen-
tieth general assembly of the Presby-
terian Church in the Cniter States today
commenced the important business of its
convention. During the next week the
assembly reports will be made from vari-
Gus parts of the world on every cOnceiv-
able phase of the Christian work con-
nected with the church. None will be
more important than those relating par
ticularly to denominational unity and
harmony. Evangelical work all over the
world and mission work at home and
abroad will be reported upon and dis
cussed Marriage and divorce also are
important subjects to be considered.
The spirit of the assembly was well ex-
pressed by DIR. Mark A. Matthews Of
Seattle, who said:
II believe in denominational organized
union. / believe the day is not far dis
tant when all branches of the Presby-
terian family will be reunited, not as a
national church perhaps. but church
true to Christ, to dominate in the spiritual
affairs in the nation.
The desire to amalgamate all the Pres
byterians into one church was manifest
through all the proceedings. and 1t is be-
lieyed that this general assembly will
represent a long step forward toward the
realization of that idea.
The work of the assembly today consists
largely of receptions Of reports of special
committees.
Tonight there will be popular meeting
in Convention Hall in the interest of
Sabbath schools and young peoples work

MO CHOICE BETWEEN THEM.

One of The Herald's most highly es-
teemeG American" contemporaries
says with some show of feeling that we
are opposing their party rather than
the Republicans; and it cites in support
of this notion some editorial comment
on Senator Smoot. The Herald's posi-
tlon is clear enough TO anybody who
wishes 10 be honest. Both the Repub-
Leans and the American" wing of the
party as nov constituted are obstacles
to the growth of the state and city.
Such progress as has been ACCOMPLISHED
here has been I'm spite of the factional
quarrels which have distressed the peo-
pie ever since Senator Smoot entered
upon his career as dictator of Repub-
lican politics in this state. Whether he
was responsible or not for the warfare
which ensued, II has wrought untold
injury and established conditions which
viii continue so long as he remains in
politics as the dominant figure of his
party.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Utah. with all the other coal produc-
ing states, is interested i'm the decision
of the circuit court of appeals in the
commodity clause case involving a
question of constitutional law. In the
Hepburn act. congress declared that in
terstate transportation lines could not
transport commodities in which they
were interested as owners. The chief
object was to prevent the ownership of
coal and lumber lands by railroads;
and. If the law was held valid, the re-
suit would be 10 compel the coal-car-
rying lines 10 dispose of their immense
holdings of coal lands.
In its decision the court holds that
this clause of the act is unconstitu
tional and so invalid; that the rail-
roads have a right to own such lands
and transport the coal. just as an indi-
vidual or a private corporation could.
This upholds the contention of the
roads and will enable the Rio Grande
among others TO operate its holdings

Mr.. Bryan would prolong the present fl
nancial situation We shall make our
appeal 10 every man, whether he be at the
head of a corporation or be working for
a corporation. that II he wants to see
prosperity return he must vote the Re-
publican ticket.
Mr.. Bryan probably smiles grimly as
he buckles on his armor. realizing that
victory must be certain when only the
mud batteries of the opposing army
are in working condition. But what a
humiliating spectacle is presented by
the party which boasts of Lincoln and
Sumner. Seward and Chase and the
other great Republican leaders who
came forward when the issue of slavery
was finally to be decided. Under dis
credited cheftains the present Repub-
lican party seeks only the spoils, and is
not over-nice as 10 the manner in
which they are secured.
Speaker Cannon endeavored to cast a
slur upon the great Nebraskan by say
ing he was a millionaire and that he
had accumulated his wealth by wind
and ink" The New York Times is
again, but II remained for Judge Taft
to put the finishing touches on this
puerile plan of campaign. In a con-
gratulatory message to members of the
Marquette club of Chicago, who had
chartered a steamer to boost for the
Republican ticket along the shores of
Lake Michigan, Mr.. Taft says:
sincerely hope that the steamer Roose-
Welt on which you embark. will take you
safely and that you will carry good Re-
publican doctrine to the 100000 people
whom you will meet on the trip and that
you will convince them that II is the
height of folly for the American cleo
torate. just as we are regaining the con-
fidence of capital. which is necessary to
power the Democratic party under its
present leader. whose political history
cannot but make Democratic success I'M
der his leadership a menace to pros
perity and means the destruction of bust
ness confidence"
This from the man selected to carry
out the so-called reform policies of
Roosevelt. Has Mr.. Taft the conf
dence of capital which is necessary to
the resumption of prosperity" and if
and is the prosperity for general con-
sumption or merely for the capitalists
who are partners with Mr.. Taft in the
working out of this confidence game?
Sink the issues and go for Bryan"
is the battlecry of the Republicans. but
il will hardly win this year. The peo-
pie OF the country know what they
want. and if the Republican party is
not wiling to give il then it must take
the consequences. Showing the white
feather in the face of the enemy is
punishable with death in all civilized
countries.
