of the outlaws taking a chance The
principal trouble, however, is the fact
that the outlaws can not obtain suit

missed from the confederation of Bap- tist churches pr. Foster has ehal- lenged his aceusers to bring their com plaint to the Hyde Park church. and has refused to answer elsewhere for the reason that jurisdiction in the premises does not elsewhere reside. They have so far refused to do this, though the Hyde Park church is prob ably one of the most intelligent bodies of Baptists in America
 The Baptist polity does not lend it. self very easily to the purposes of the heresy matter. for the reason that it is intended to protect the individual in the fullest and freest enjoyment of his personal liberty and rights consistent with similar rights of others. An of fense, therefore, must be shown to be trespass on the rights of another. The right to think and to express ones thinking when speaking only for one s self has never constituted an offense among Baptists. Dr. Fosters thinking Is probably no more offensive to me than mine is to him. and he may as well arraign me for what l think as for me to arraign him. The truth is that there is no trespass in this case; but only the desire of the Chicago pas- tors conference to set standards for the thinking and speaking of others. Against such ecclesiasticism and cleri- calism the Baptists all over the coun- try will protest whether pr. Fosters thinking be in their judgment right or wrong. No one need read what he has written unless he so wishes. nor does he in his writing speak for any one except himself. The right to the full and free enjoyment of ones cherished ignorance is not trespassed on in this case; much less the privi- lege of superior Knowledge. Any effort to introduce inquisitorical ,clericalism among Baptists always has failed and always will But where there Is a real offense the Baptist polity abundantly provides for its redress after proper adjudication. In your statement that pr. Foster no longer believes in the divinity of Christ, the doctrine of the trinity, the atonement, miracles" etc., it is fair to say that he denies all this; as they are taught in the scriptures. The only people to whom the pollty of Baptists seems inadequate are the heresy hunters and it was not de- signed for their purposes.

PROFESSOR FOSTER OF CHICAGO.
Rev. pr. A. J. Dickinson Explains Bap-
 tist Church Polity.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Your article of today on the case of Dr. Foster does not adequately repre- sent the situation and Baptist polity. You say: 'sIIe Is still a Baptist minis ter. and a professor in a Baptist uni versity. He Is not defending himself. He simply defes his assailants and goes on gathering in royalties on his book All this comes about because each Baptist ch urch or congregation is q law unto itself and once Baptist clergyman always a Baptist clergyman seems to be the rule, on account of the congrega tiona1 nature of the Baptist church system. Dr. Foster cannot well be tried for heresy except in his own conscience"
 finder the Baptist system of church polity 1t is the easiest thing in the world to institute proceedings against a minister; and when the complaints are duly sustained to depose him from that office. One has only to go to the church of which the offender is a mem Der and file his complaint and the church then takes charge of the mat fer and summons the offender to ap- near and answer to the charges. He is given his trial before the people wh O know him best, and for whom he min isters. The church taking charge of the case summons a presbytery to sit with them In an advisory capacity and hear the case.
 The Baptists have no. clergy in an ecclesiastical sense of the term with rights and prerogatives separate from the body of it's members; but all ecclesiastical authority reposes in the body of the church, including the of lenses of the ministry.
 pr. Foster is a member of Hyde Park Baptist church of Chicago, and is amenable to its discipline. All any one has to do is to bring any offense of his to the attention of that church with which he followships; and the matter will be adjudicated according to Baptist polity. Many an offender has in this way been dismissed from the Baptists, and wherever occasion may arise it can be done again, pro- vided the offense can be established. If the Hyde Park church refuses to ad- indicate the matter, it may be dis

FRUIT MEN AIDED
BY RULING
DEPARTMENT DIRECTS CUSTOMS
OFFICERS no DEMAND THAT
DAMAGE CLAIMS BE FILED
QUICKLY.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Flagrant
abuses in fruit importation, entailing
thousands of dollars of loss to the
government, especially on the docks
at New York, are aimed at in regula-
lions proclaimed by Acting Secretary
OF the Treasury Reynolds, and direct
ed to collectors of customs and all
others concerned.
The regulations prohibit importers
from delaying for week or ten days
the filing of claims for allowance for
decay, destruction or injury of the
fruit imported, but not taken from
the docks, making it impossible for
the authorities to determine what TO
allow for the deterioration of the i'm
ports.
California fruit ranchers took up
this question with congress at the
last session, cOntending that the de-
lays operated to the undue advantage
Of Italian interests, particularly as
to oranges and lemons.
The government is entitled to the
duty on the arrival of the fruit, and
forty-eight hours is fixed by the de-
partment, under today's circular, as
to the time within which, after the
arrival OF the vessel, importers may
file their claims for allowance for
shortage or non-impOrtatiOn.

Washington, Oct 6.-Colonel W.

will at least enlist the interest of
every housekeeper-the four pounds
shortage in the weight of a barrel Of
flour
From time immemorial a barrel of
flour has weighed actually 1876
pounds, although theoretically it
weighs 200 pounds. Likewise, a
sack of flour, presumed to be one
quarter of 200-pound barrel, weighs
40 pounds. Colonel Haskell denomi-
mates this short weight, and purposes
to make campaign to correct 1t.
Also he said that the homes of
