TEDDY IS CRITICISED.
Marrow Relgious Training ResDon-
sibIe for HIS =NssFrow Views

Chicago, March IN. NJ. Mangas-
arian has made his promised criticism
of President Roosevelt's action in re-
fusing to receive his protest against
the characterization of Thos. Payne
"a filthy little atheist"
''I do not blame President Roose-
welt for his remark he said. His re-
ligious training is responsible for his
narrow views. This is the day of po-
Iitical tolerance. The name of JEFF
ferson Davis has been restored to its
place among other illustrious names in
Washington. Oliver Cromwell, who
led the King of England to the scaf-
fold, has his name in the Pantheon of
England. In politics we are civilized;
in religion we are still barbarians.
president Roosevelt's virtues are
great and we respect him for them.
Great in some things, he is so small
in others that it seems incomprehen-
sible that one man can be capable of
doing and saying things so wide apart.
I pity his ignorance and the worst L
wish him is that he may in time be-
come enlightened"

FOR UNITED ACTION.
Joint Committee on Cooperation in
Conservation to Meet.

Washington. March 1.-The campaign
to unite and coordinate all efforts for
the conservation of the natural re-
sources in the United States is sched-
uled to begin on March 5, when the
joint committee on cooperation, which
was authorized by the governors con-
ference to prepare a plan for united
action by all organizations concerned
with the conservation of natural re-
sources" will hold its first session.
The committee is composed of eleven
members, six of them chairmen of state
conservation commissions.
Besides the national conservation,
thirty-seven states already have con-
servation commissions and half a hum
dred national organizations have ap-
pointed conservation committees. It is
cooperation to formulate working
plan which will assign to each of these
bodies a definite part in the work and
to coordinate the parts so that eff
fective practical results will be accom-
plished.
The members of the joint commit
tee realize that since the United States
took the lead in the agitation which
has spread so rapidly. other nations
will look to America to demonstrate
that the conservation theories can be
converted into tangible achievem ents
In preparation for the meeting, the
various conservation bodies which
have been actively at work for several
months are sending on suggestions
based on their own experiences. The
Joint committee will review all these
Recommendations and from them it
hopes to construct a plan of organiza-
ton.

Origin of Dominoes.

The origin of dominoes has been
attributed variously to the Greeks, the
Chinese, and Jews, but a Paris con-
temporary has discovered that the
ever popular game owes its invention
to the Benedictines of Mont Cassin
Two of the order were sent into
lengthy retreat, and they hit upon a
method of Willing away the spare
time without infringing the rules of
silence by playing with square stones
upon which various dots were mark
ed. While perfecting themselves
they perfected or rather evolved the
game and were accustomed to fire.
quently repeat, when playing in the
evening. psalms from vespers, espe-
cially the first, that is Psalm elk
which begins "Dixit Dominus Domino
meo." When the retreat was over
the game was soon known in the con
vent. Then its fame spread to the
village and beyond. The verse was
reduced to one word Domino" hence
the name as we have received it

Judge in Davidson county, and now
chief counsel for the defense.
After the murder, and in the ex-
citement attendant upon the crime,
the state neglected to order post
mortern. 1t is essential in the trial
that the direction from which the
bullets came shall be determine ed.
The states theory is that Carmack,
with his hat raised to greet a lady,
was shot from behind. The defense
asserts that he fired the first shot 1t
seems however, that some time be-
tween the date of the killing and the
present time, the state secretly and at
night eXhumed the body of the slain
editor and caused careful post
mortem to be performed. The
course of the bullets thus was de-
termined and the state claims to have
proof that the bullet which killed
Carmack entered his neck from be-
hind.
The defense does not claim that
Colonel Cooper fired the shots. 1t
maintains that young Cooper, believ-
ing his fathers life. was in dangea',
fired upon Carmack to protect his
sire. And it is not contended that
young Cooper stood any place but be-
hind.
Associated with the trial are in
cidents of unusual interest. The
nearing marks the OSQ1cdIlOn OF Ine
new criminal court house and the
temple of justice is baptized by one
of the greatest legal battles ever
fought in the entire south. The trial
