STUBS IN PULPIT.
Governor Tells His Experiences as q
Christian.

A record breaking attendance was
present yesterday at the First Chris
tan church during the Sunday school
hour. A membership contest is on at
school and that Of the North Side
Christian church of Kansas City, KAN
sas. The attendance at the local school
has been increased from 221, the count
nine weeks ago. to $50, the number
present yesterday.
The particular attraction at the gath
ering yesterday was a short sermon by
Governor Stubs who told of his own
experiences as Christian. 1.-THE young
people should consider it an honor to be
Christian and not be ashamed Of 1t. .
said the chief executive Of Kansas.
"All I ever learned about the Bible |
learned in the Sunday school when I
was boy between the years of 10 and
20. There was time when I consid-
cred 1t a disgrace and was afraid TO
speak the name Of God in the presence
of other men, but I have long since
learned that 1t is an honor to recognize
the Creator of the Universe. l was con-
verted at the age of II, and know
from personal experience that the re-
ligion Of Christ can save man and
keep him from sim"
A collection was taken which netted
$50 for the Y. w. c. A. building fund.
During the course Of the exercises j.
w. Going presented the school with a
silk American flag. The contest which
has thus far been a most successful
means of increasing the attendance of
the Bible school will come to close on
December 5.
During the past few weeks the Nc
Pherson brothers, evangelists, have
added so members to the church. On
account Of the increased attendance a.
both the church and Sunday school
services the securing of funds for put
ting in an addition to the church build
ing has been seriously considered, al
though no definite action has as yet
been taken.

DIR scHURuAN on COLLEGE STUDENTS.

DIR. SCHURIfAN on COLLEGE STUDENTS
The remarks of President Schurman of Cor
nell University are ostensbly in reply to those
Of President Lowell OF Harvard and of Presi-
dent Wilson of Princeton ON the lack OF a seri-
Gus purpose among college students. DR. Schur-
man rejoins that the evil is local one, that it Is
confined TO the older institutions Of New Eng
land and New Jersey, not being found in Cornell
or in the universities Of the West, and for this
reason
They are different from the older universities
in meeting the various demands made upon them
by providing courses not only in letters and an
ancient discipline but in science and the mani
fold application of science to modern life. These
courses appeal to the varied interests OF stu
dents and spur them on 10 work with energy
and zest.
But that is a mere begging OF the question.
President Lowell has not complained that there
IS lack of earnest effort in vocational courses.
On the contrary. he called attention to the un-
willingness of the students tn take seriously the
OdfaShiOned humaniStic studies. Dr. Schur-
man does not deny this, and the very reason
which he gives for what he regards the supe-
rior earnestness of the newer institutions inn
plies that they, too. experience the same diff
Guilty Of getting earnest work out of stu
dents in the college proper. President Lowell
affirmed that scholarship was not esteemed
among the undergraduates in the collegiate de-
partment. only referring in passing TO the con
trasting fact that students in the engineering
medical. legal and other vocational departments
of university do study earnestly. Dr Schur
man replies that the collegiate department Of
one Of the younger universities is only small
part of il. and. in his opinion, smaller part
than it is of one of the older institutions That
does not answer the charge that the cultural
studies no longer appeal as they should to stu
dents. but appears to confess it by avoidance

LENS FOR Unpaid TAEES.

The nevr method for the collection of arrears
of taxation on real estate appears to be working
well Liens to the amount of Uncoected ar
rears were advertised for sale yesterday on 26o
pieces of property. but before the sale could be
held 900 owners paid the city what they owed
and only forty liens were left 10 he sold. The
interest rate on the liens sold appears TO have
varied from = per cent up TO 10 per cent, the
highest rate allowed by the law. and in general
was very high for a first mortgage. This was
probably due TO the experimental character OF
the proceeding. for the courts have not passed
on these liens.
If the courts uphold them as mortgages tax
ing precedence over all other mortgages on
reaI estate. there is little doubt that the city
will always he able to sell claims for arrears
and The old difficulty with uncollected taxes will
be ended It is in the courts that all other de-
vices for the collection of arrears have gone on
the rocks. The practice in different parts of the
CITY has varied hitherto. In Brooklyn. we be-
lieve the custom used to he TO sell property in
arrears at auction TO satisfy the citys claims
against It: in New York County the practice
was to sell at auction n ninety-nine-year lease
of the property in arrears OF taxation. But
the courts ruled strictly against titles in fee
or leasehnlds thus obtained that there
difficulty in finding bidders, No one cared 10
buy his way into a lawsuit in which the chances
were against him. So the custom of selling
property in arrears or leases of it lapsed, ana
an enormous total of unpaid taxes accumulated
on the city's books The new law was passed to
create claim against the property Of delin-
Guent taxpayers for which there would be 4
market Under It the city sells al auction what
it itself possesses-that is, A claim upon the
property in arrears prior 10 any other lien or
mortgage-to the bidder offering the lowest rate
of interest. under 10 per cent. The buyer Of the
lien then pays the unpaid taxes The lien runs
three years but may be foreclosed at any time
for non-payment of interest on it by the owner
of the property for failure TO pay subsequent
taxes when due.
Obviously the market for such liens will de-
pend upon what view the courts take Of them.
If the courts should be as strict as they were IN
regard TO the leasehold titles that the city used
10 sell in a similar way, the new method Of
bringing delinquents to book would soon pass
into disuse. There is. however, good reason to
hope that they viii sustain this new practice,
for 1t is much fairer TO the property owner than
the sale OF his property outright or the sale of
long lease Of il

The next few weeks at most will witness the
elimination of serious crisis in Cretan affairs
and. apparently in those of the empire of
which that island has for centuries been an I'M
willing member. The first day of July. accord
ing to agreement, will see the evacuation of
Crete by the forces Of the four great powers
which have for some years been holding the
island in trust. and the problem is what viii
then happen. It would he rash to- attempt 10
answer that question: but there seems to be
pretty good ground for expecting that whatever
the answer is. there will be trouble
Greece fully expects that Crete will then be
handed over TO her, and the Greek inhabitants
of Crete, who form the majority Of the popula-
ton. expect the same thing. OF course the
Greeks and Greek Cretans greatly desire that to
occur we may add that the powers appear to
he under some moral obligation TO effect that
solution Of the problem, and have indeed at
least permitted the Greeks to anticipate 1t with
confidence If that does not happen, there will
probably be much discomfort in Greece while
in Crete we may look for another Of those out
breaks which have so frequently marked the
modern history of the island; an outbreak so
serious probably to require renewed interven-
tion by the powers for the restoration OF order,
On the other hand, Turkey fully expects that
the island will be retained part OF her en-
pre; perhaps with a very large degree OF au-
tonomy, but still with obligations of fealty to
the government nj Constantinople Also. ac-
cording TO the strict legal letter Of their obga-
/ tions, the powers are apparently bound to re-
store the island 10 Turkey. They would have
: been under that obligation anyway. hut it is
! ali the more binding upon them now. since the
establishment Of constitutional government in
! Turkey and the deposition of Abdul Hamd
The Turkish ministry. are told, is insstent
! upon that disposition of the island to such
degree that if il is not made the ministry will

unweIcome to the powers, since the four powers
concerned are sincerely desirous of seeing tne
reformed system in Turkey prosper and woula
greatly regret anything which might unse'tie OF
in any way weaken ii.
If Greece and Turkey should be left to them
selves to settle the matter. there would be dan
ger of another war between them which also
would be most unwelcome to the powers. Sug'
gestions are made that the troops should not De

grievance to Turkey. and it would seem NEON
sistent TO withdraw troops and officials from
Macedonia and vet to- insist upon retaining
them in Crete. Still another complication arises
from the fact that Germany, although nor one
OF the four powers concerned in the guardian
shin of Crete is now manifesting an interest 10

ence. in what direction is not yet to be per
