mighty good things for the pagans of the

That's good for Cuba. The sum of nearly
$4,000 was spent for the year on schools in

State authorities Should Enforce
State L00OS

The idea prevails that state laws do not ex
tend over military reservations, like the Nc
Pherson Barracks, near Atlanta. But thew
do. BY ceding the land to the United States
Government, the State lost jurisdiction of the
place, but not over the persons there.
Men cannot commit murder arson and rape
at the Barracks, and then claim immunity
from punishment under state laws. on the
ground that the United States Government
owns the reservation. Such a situation would
bring the State and the Law into utter con-
tempt.
United States officers have no right to trv
man for murder in Georgia, or in any other
state. The Superior Courts of the counties
wherein the crimes are committed are the
tribunals to handle these offenders They are
not put IN legal jeopardy when "tred" by a
military court. The officers have no more au
thorlty to try rape case, arson case, or muir
der case, than the County Commissioners
have.
We urge Governor Jos. NJ Brown, Attor
ney-General Hart, and Solicitor Hill to do
something in the premises.
The jurisdiction claimed and exercised bv
the Court martial, the magnitude of the
crime itself, the innocent blood that cries for
vengeance, the consequences that are likely
to flow from the failure to punish so great an
infraction of the law-are circumstances
that may very properly be brought to the at
tentiOn of those 2ChO are m2der oath TO en-
force the lar.
1t will be an awful and disgraceful thing,
if the officer who ordered the killing of that
private soldier, and the patrol who did it,
are not even indicted by the Grand Inquest of
the county in which the barbarous deed was
DONE

Church Membership
We clip the following from The Wesleyan

ut is encouraging to learn, what previous reports
have prepared us to believe that the increase of
church membership is greater than the increase If
population In 1890, church members formed 1927 per
cent OF the entire populations in 1906 they consti-
tued 39l per centan increase in sixteen years over
PoPulauon OF o. per cent Of this increase, Roman
Catholics credited with A per cent Protestants
with u.s. the balance being divided among other re-
hglons OF the total membership, Protestants number
2S2S7,742; Roman Catholics l2O79l42 the 1a++or
Inquire effectualy answering the claim made in certain
quarters that Roman Catholics outnmbered Protest
ants IN this country Of Protestants, ethodsts come
rst with total membership of 5,74983s, followed by
Baptlsts with 5,662234 Lutherans, 2ll2,949; Pres
byterlans lo30555, and Disciples of Christ AZ 900
The bulletin states that there is $l,25O 100000 in
vested in church property and that new churches are
built at the rate of eight each day.
Building eight churches per day in this country
does not Indicate the speedy demolition of Christianity
IN this country Nor does it show that the people of
this country are very camorous for DR.. Eliots new

Unfortunately, the building of churches is
no proof Of the true condition of religion

IN wicked ways, will donate literally to the
Church, because it salves his guilty conscience
TO Go SO. Pagan1sm was never more ornate
IN It's temples, and more industrious in erect
Ing them, than just before it's fall
Our purpose, however, in clipping the ex
tract, was to call attention to the satisfaction
expressed by the Editor because of an alleged
increase of Christians over population of less
than 9 per- cent.
Here we have nation Of more than
9O,OOO,000 inhabitants, and yet tao0-thi1ds of
them do not epem profess Christianity
Allow for the millions of Christians who
have come here from Europe, and y0u aCiW
recognize the appalling fact that qohen you
test the matter By so doubtful criterion as
chmch-mem6ership, qre Christians are con-
rertlng our 0aon children.
In other words, the number of the pro-
fessors of religion is not equal to the growth
of the families of Christian fathers and
mothers.
Leave out the immigrant, and the religion
of Christ IS at a relative standstill in the
United States.
1t is in minority of one to three, and this
minority is not gaining on the majority
And when we take into consideration the
fact, obvious in every community in Amer
lea, that large proportion Of church mem
bers are Christians in name only, it is diff
cult to understand how any disciple of Jesus
can be inclined to exult over the situation

OUTGROWTH OF
CONTROVERSY OVER AMOUNT
ASSESSED BY BOARD ON SOUTH
FIRST STREET IMPROVEMENT.

Argument in the case Of the Starr
Piano company VS.. the City of Rich
mond and j. w. George Schneider,
executor of the will of John H. A.
Schneider was presented in the Wayne
circuit court today by Henry y. john
son representing Schneider. Judge
Fox has held the law governing the
case is unconstitutional and an ap-
peal has been taken to a higher court.
Mr.. Johnson contends that until the
higher court declares the law invalid,
the circuit court has the right to pass
on the case and determine the assess
ment against the company for the i'm
provement of South First street.
John Schneider was the contractor,
who constructed the street upon the
order of the board of public works..
Since then he has died. The work was
completed by the executor, who ever
since has been trying to collect the
money due him for the work. He
has not been paid as the final settle.
ment remains in contest in the courts
The contest of the assessment is
brought by the piano company, which
claims its assessment is unfair and
unreasonable.
