on Anti Trust Cas-
eS In the
Courts.

Washington, May 12.-Declarini

Ky believe themselves in the GRASP

the United states had expressed the
opinion that this trust "was a mon
opoly and existed i'm violation of the
laws of the United States"
Il do not know what may be the
purpose of the present attorney gem
eral in respect to this suit" said the
senator, but he has made a speech
recently in which great doubt is
thrown upon the course he proposes
to take with reference to the enforce
ment of the antitrust law
Il want 20 call attention to the
fact that the attorney general in a
case brought by his department and
which rs now p9nding la thp sllprepe
court. the United, s'tatest criti6Ees
the opinion of the court below in ka-
vor of the government and against
the monopoly and sugsests-if l know
the English language-that If the
opinion is a proper construction of the
law, the administration will propose
to amend the law"

State Campaign Funds.

New York World: Colorado has
yielded to the Roosevelt idea and
adopted a law providing that the State
shall pay all campaign expenses every
two years up to twenty five cents for
each vote cast at the preceding general
election. Besides the State, only candi-
dates shall be permitted to contribute
TO political campaign.
AS the States contributions are ap-
pOrtiOned among the political parties
according to the vote cast for their
candidates for Governor, the Democrats
in 1910 will receive 1872, 224 and Repub-
licans 500, 708 Whenever any party
wants more it must draw on it's candi-
dates, and presumably the richest set of
candidates will be most productive.
Men of wealth who want Office are
likely to command a premium at con-
ventiOn time.
The scheme of State paid campaign
funds is fantastic enough to have been
borrowed from Oklahoma. On a very
small scale it carries out Mr.. Roose-
welt s suggestion in message to Con-
gress. A State, like the Federal Gov
eminent, of course always has plenty Of
money. BY levying more taxes it can
get more money. The process is very
simple. Why should political parties
raise money for campaign expenses and
collect voluntary contributions for
printing, rentals, brass bands and fire
works when the State can just as well
foot the bills2 In fact, why should not
the State pay everybody's taxes out Of
funds in the State treasury

Making Religion More Prac-
fiCoIyS

In the development of great move
ments achievement has usually preceded
definition, classification, and terminOl-
Ogy. Luther crossed swords with Eek
before he could foresee the Protestant
Reformation. Jonathan Edwards her
aided the Great Awakening before ever
he left Northampton to write elsewhere
the classic of predestination. And
Moody brought two countries to their
knees in cody penitence years before
William James and Starbuck, Coe and
George Jackson supplied modern evan
gelism with the watchwords of the new
psychology.
The Emmanuel movement has re-
yersed an age-long process. Not three
years old, it is already found its proper
place somewhere in that hazy middle
ground which religion and medicine are
inevitably forced to share between
them. 1t is adequately furnished with
a psychological Technology as scientific
as either religion or medicine.
There are, to be sure, problems of
adjustment of adoption still to be
worked out in order to meet the varying
conditions of one locality to another,
But no well informed and and unbiased
student of the Emmanuel movement is
in general to occupy among the agen
cies fast multiplying in these DAYS to
make religion more practical and medi
cine more useful and to bring about
that team work between the minister
and doctor which DR.. Cabot is habitu
ally emphazing in connection with this
subect.-From The Emmanuel Move
ment, by Lyman P Powell, in Ameri
can Review of Reviews for May.

SCHEDULES IN DOUBT.

A great deal of doubt still exists as to
many schedules of the Payne tariff bill.
A late press dispatch from Washington
says:
"Set speeches in the senate Of the
tariff bill and the introduction of
amendments indicate that differences of
opinion are likely to compel roll calls to
fix rates on coal, oil, hides, lumber,
zinc, and perhaps on both pig and scrap
iron. The finance committee has not
considered these articles in reviewing
their work in recent meetings and it is
likely that amendments will be offered. "
From the above it appears that there
is nothing fixed or certain as yet in re-
gard to the zinc schedule, which is Of
great local interest in this section Of
Wisconsin. 1t is to be hoped that after
all the low grade or oxide ores will be
kept on the free list. No good reason
can be offered for taxing their importa-
tiOn

Miss Lilavati Singh, one Of the most
distinguished women, not only of
oriental lands, but of all lands, who
has been for seventeen years a teacher
of Lucknow College, in India, is at the
present in this country for a year or
two Of graduate work, after which she
will return to resume her work in
Lucknow.
The universal interest shown in Miss
Singh is not so much to curiosity but to
the fact that she is a product Of Chris
tianity. Her grandfather was a Hindu
and her mother was a Zenna woman,
who could not read or write. The
grandfather was converted by Chris
tian missionary. The grandmother was
visited and taught by the women mis-
sionaries. Miss Singh inherited the
strong qualities of the best races of
India, strengthened and reformed by
two generations of Christian teaching
and life. When ten years old she be-
gan her school life in Miss Isabella
ThOburn's school in Lucknow. Having
passed the college entrance examination,
Miss Singh wanted to enter college.
Twenty five years ago it was as I'M
usual for girls to go to college in india,
as it was remarkable fifty years ago
for woman to be able to read. Col
lege classes were opened at Lucknow
for the ambitious girls, and Miss Singh
took her A. B. degree. Her ambition
was not satisfied and few years later,
while doing full work as teacher, she
took the A. M. degree. Miss Singh's
influence has not been limited to the
college at Lucknow nor even to the
Methodist mission work of India.
Recognized as one of the leading
women of India she was sent as the one
Indian women delegate to the Worlds
Student Federation meeting, held in
Toxic, Japan in 1907. At that meeting
she was appointed chairman of the
waman's section of the federation, and
since then has been closely allied with
student work.
Last summer she spent a month at
student conferences in England and on
the continent. This summer she goes
to Oxford to a federation council meet
ing, and will be present at the English
students conference at Baslow Miss
Singh will speak i'll the Methodist
church, Thursday evening, May 10, at
1870 o'clock. No admission will be
charged. Everyone invited.

Who is to Stay Their Hand?

Springfield Mass Republican: The
chief evidence of good faith with the
people afforded by the farmers of the
Payne tariff bill was the free listing of
hides, coal, iron ore, wood pulp, and
petroleum and its products. The AL
driCh revisers in the Senate Immediately
restored iron ore TO the dutiable list
and now they purpose to deal with the
other articles mentioned in the same
way. AS our Washington correspond
ent observes, this is calculated to make
New England look sick when viewed
through the Aldrich revision. But it
makes honest tariff revision look sicker
These reaCtOnaries in the Senate are
working for shameful betrayal of
the confidence of the people in this
matter. Who or what is to stay their
hand2

Monday morning, April &c, 1909, at half
past three o'clock; aged II years.
Although he had been in failing health
1or some time he had been seriously i'll
for only one day. The immediate cause

The decedent was born in Pottsville,

was honest, true and faithful in his
dealings with his fellow men. He died
in the hopes of a glorious immortality,
and peacefully as one who lies down to
pleasant dreams.

afternoon at three o'clock from his late
residence. The burial was in Grace

Fat Test of Cream

Prof. E. H. Harrington, University
of Wisconsin: A creamery patron
writes the University of Wisconsin,
1--WE are selling our cream and are
not satisfied with the test. We can
make 10 pounds of butter out of 81
pounds of cream. What should the
test of our cream be-"
If the butter contains 80 per cent. fat,
which is the usual amount in normal
butter, then 10 pounds of butter would
contain SO pounds of butter fat, and
since this amount of butter fat was
contained in 81 pounds of cream, the
cream would test 22.2 per cent. of fat.
