RETURNING HOME
 LILLEY EXPLAINS
Acted on Own Responsibility and Only When He Could Stand Condition No
 Longer.

Waterbury, Feb. 2S.-Congressman George H. Lilley returned this evening from Washington. His coming was unexpected and Republican reporter discovered his presence just as he was about to retire for the night in his apartments at the Elton. Mir. Lilley was sought for an interview concern ing his fight against the Electric Boat company in Congress.
 There's nothing more to be said about it" he declared. q haven't made any charges of bribery against the boat company or any member of Con gress, But for two years l have look cd upon the methods of this company to influence legislation in Congress, and to suppress competition in sub marine boats so that il could take mill lions in excessive profits out of the United states treasury, until l couldn't stand it any longer. When 1t came to such a pass that the wishes of the president and the naval experts were overridden in the appropriation for naval increase and improvement 1t seemed to me time that the public should find out why. and l demanded an inquiry and if that inquiry is held as I think it will be, l am pretty sure the country will agree with me that 1t is tine the methods of the Electric company are taken out of Washing ton"
 Did the president ask you to intro duce your resolution?" he was asked
 Nobody asked or even suggested it." replied Mr. Lilley. 'I did 1t without consultation with anybody. There was nothingito consult about. It was some body's duty, as 1t seemed to me. and if it was not done by anybody else 1t was plainly up to me The oath of off, fec taken by member of congress is solemn thing. I should be dead to all conscience if, seeing the things l have seen in the past year or two I had not spoken out. A member of the naval committee is the trustee of a good many million dollars and he should be careful in the performance of his duties as if he were the trustee of a small estate.
 There is a fear MT. Lilley, among some of your friends that you will he called off-That political considera. tions may be SO strong that you vii not dare to push the thing to con | clusion at Washington"
 Well. you can say 10 any such peo
 pie that there will be no let up. so ia, as | am concerned, for any considera l ton whatever I would rather win thi, l fight than hold any political office how ever great This step was not takcr i on impulse. The matter has been or my mind for two years. I hoped that matters would mend: instead, they go
 worse, and I couldn't stand for then any longer. If conditions called for ! investigation a month ago they call fol investigation now, and 1t won't be my ] fault if it isn't had"

Gods wordlare compelled to fee for ref

1t cannot be said that the action Of
these heather is unnatural. Parallel
instances of resentment can be cited in
America, but when these attacks are
made they necessarily involve the gov
eminent. The United States cannot
see its citizens maltreated without in
reference. Heretofore such interfer-
ence has been simple and bereft of en-
barrassment. The conditions have be-
come such in the East very recently
that interference in the affairs of these
countries may be attended with the
gravest consequences. ItIwould, there
fore, seem wise for the church, through
its agents, to consider the situation in
all its bearings and make ample prep
aration for aiding the government by
combining the activities of the mission
aries strictly to the voluntary propaga-
ton of the gospel.
One of the most fruitful sources of
trouble with these heather is the sus-
picion engendered IN their minds that
the missionaries are in some way mixing
up with the local or national politics of
the country. On general principles, it
is not probable that they would feel
such resentment simply because of the
spread of the divine word of Jesus.
Their suspicion may be altogether I'M
called for, but when newly aroused
patriotism is abroad and passions are
rampant it is common prudence to place
the work of the missionaries absolutely
above suspicion. Christ's kingdom is
not temporal, but eternal, and the
church should never be compelled to
evoke the weapons of war.

THE GOSPEL IN HEATHEN LANDS.

The church may soon be confronted
by perpleXing problem.
The newly aroused patriotism of the
Chinese and the natives of India prom

Almost countless millions of dollars
have been spent to Christianize those
races. Some progress has been made,
but as compared with the numbers of
the people and the vastness of the ter
rltory it is as molehill to mountain.
Christ said preach the gospel to all peo-
pie. and it is, of course, the duty of the
church to comply; but He also said YOU
must love your neighbor as yourself
and If man steals ones cloak you must
give him your coat also, and if you are
smitten on one cheek you must turn the
other. 1t is not apparent that any of
these commands are complied with lit
orally. The hyperbole of the East NAV

the scriptual injunctions, while civiliza-
ton has not yet reached the point where
they can DE literally obeyed.

TO PREACH ON LOCAL OPTION.
Pastors Throughout Maryland Will
Discuss il January Goth.

The Anti-Saloon League of Maryland
is planning for a Concerted Discus
sion on Jan. 26 The Ministerial
Union Of Baltimore issued call to all
the pastors of the State to join on that
date in discussing the local option issue,
the Anti-Saloon League as an agency
of the federated churches in securing a
statewide local option law. and the
necessity of informing the members of
the Legislature of the desire for such
legislation.
1t is conceded that local option will
be one of the most important questions
before the Legislature and will probably
develop the hardest fight of the session.
A desperate attempt is being made to
unite all enemies of local option in favor
of high license. The League is not
opposing high license, but refuses alb
solutely to accept it as substitute for
local option, and expects this concerted
movement to crystalline the sentiment
here as it has done in other States.
Enough responses from pastors all over
the State have been received to assure
the success Of the plan.
Superintendent Anderson of the
League announces the receipt from
Cardinal Gibbons of statement in
which he heartily approves the present
movement in Maryland to secure local
option law by which the people of
wards of cities, or of rural counties
may vote upon the question of closing
saloons, and further states that where
the people do not vote out saloons he
favors high license, but not as a substi
tute for, nor in opposition to such local
option.
The League has rented Room 1O6, at
Carvel Hall Hotel, Annapolis, as Legis-
lative Headquarters and has com
petent stenographer and assistant con-
stantly on hand. The Superintendent
and other workers will be there during
the most of the session.
The day after the Legislature con-
vened, the League wrote President
Seth of the Senate and Speaker Ray of
the House, asking the appointment of
Temperance Committees with a ma
jority of temperance men. The League
leaders expect some of the politicians
friendly to the liquor interests to try to
get committees appointed which viii
smother the bill in committee.
