EXPLAINING 1T

There is quite an interesting stor,
back Of the turning down of Chair
man Prewitt by his own committee
At the Lexington convention the fighi
for the control OF = that convention
was between the Beckham wing OF
the party and the anti-machine Dem
ocrats. The latter won a signal vic
tory. They had two-thirds OF the
delegates pledged 10 vote against
Beckham for chairman had he al
lowed his name to go before the con-
yention and the ants had complete
power to make up the personnel of
the state central and state executive
committee. II was at this point they
fell down. They kept a good many
of the old regime on the committee
and allowed some OF the Beckham
people to be named amonk the new
members. They simply played with
both sides, and although warned at
the time that they were tying their
own hands they proceeded along the
line until they were tied good ana
tight, and Chairman Prewitt and
his friends did not wake up to the
situation until IT was too late. We
rather think that they deserved lust
what they got, as they proceeded to
ignore the spirit OF the rule adopted
by the convention prohibiting Office
holders from being members OF the
committee. The remnants Of the
old machine are a lot OF tireless
smart politicians. They saw their
chance and won out at the Lexington
meeting, We are not in sympathy
with eithsr faction Of the committee
but II out of these differences there
shall develop sarong purpose to
keep the temperance question as a
ocal issue and to finally make our
party committees composed entirely
n the non-office holding class, a
United party may result and we still
rave some hopes that these condi-
ions may be brought about.-Eliza-

Sermons on The Resurrection,
themes appropriate to Easter, wer,
delivered yesterday by DR.. d. c
Wright, rector OF Grace Eplscopa
church. In the morning he talked OF
the Necessity OF the Resurrection
In the scheme OF salvation. In the
evening he took the other side Of tn.
question and asked what substltut.
could be offered by those who den,
the literal resurrection OF Christ
Among the theories, he mentioned
that of figurative language; that
Christ meant his teachings. and phil.
|osophy would live, though he was
laid in the dead. DR.. Wright said
history youches for the fact that
Christ was literally cruciied and
when he mentioned his approaching
crucifxion and resurrection in the
same sentence, such a theory would
have him using literal and fgurative
language in the same breath.
Another theory Is that Christ
meant he would live in future gener-
ations; that man really is not i'm
mortal, but that the human race Is
immortal. and the work we have done
will go on living forever after, as
the test OF this theory. when applied
at the bier. proves II unsatisfying to
the mourner. The human soul re-
jects the theory that we never shall

has promised to make a study OF the
Juvenile court and to visit successful
courts in other cities. where they have
been established for some time, and
their merits fully exposed.
The juvenile court is an institu-

Institution for the correction of juve-
nile delinquents. Instead OF being
punished, the wards mot the prison
ers) Of the court are put on proba-
ton; hence the title probation Off

serve without compensation, and for
the most part they are church and
settlement workers. Jews. Catholics
and Protestants look after their own
delinquents. So the characters of

genial Influences. such that there will
be the least fsction.
