RECORD OF CONGRESS
HAS TABoOED PICTURES

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Congress
sionel Record is no longer an Illustrated
sheet. 1t never has been very profusely
decorated with pictures, but occasionally
a wideawake senator or an active repre-
sentative has succeeded in having printed
some article carrying illustrations. Even
that limited privilege has been Withdrawn
\ When the step was taken no one knows
but Senator owen, of Oklahoma, made the
discovery. It came yesterday at the con-
clusion of the address of Senator Bristow
on the sugar schedule on the tarin DILL
Mr. Owen then sought to have inserted
in the Record an illustration of the scale
by which the sugar trust. as alleged, sue
ceeded in undeYweighing sugar for the
purpose of evading the payment of duty.
Mr. Owen stated that he had asked to
have this illustration inserted in the Rec
ord when he recently spoke on that sub
tect aad was surprised to find that the
right was denied him. He wanted, he
said, b. make a public record of the prac-
tice.
Senators Smoot and Gallinger then ex-
planned for the first time that the commit
tee on printing, of which they were mem
bers, had abolished the practice of pub
fishing illustrations in the Record.
After some discussion it was agreed that
there would be no objectioHSto having the
speech of the senator from Oklahoma and
the accompanying illustrations published
as a public document, and this course was
decided upon.

u. 8. AND CANADA
DISCUSS FISH TREATY

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Commission-
ers and counsel operating under the
treaty between Great Britain sand the
United States providing for the adoption
of uniform and effective measures for
the protection of the food fishes in the
waters contiguous to the United States
and Canada met here today at the state
department.
Prof. David Starr Jordan is the United
States, and Prof. Edward E. Prince the
Canadian commissioner, while c. p. An
derson is legal adviser on the part of
this government and N. s. Gisbourne on
the part of Canada.
The commissioners have been at work
for about a year and have completed a
set of regulations to govern fishing,
which If adopted by both governments
will go far towards protecting and pre-
serving the fish and will avoid friction
and strife arising from a lack of knowl-
edge regarding the limitations put upon
the citizens Of the respective countries
by the other along the border line.
Recent dispatches from Canada have
intimated that the agreement reached by
the commissioners is in the main salts
factory to that government. AS soon as
accepted by both governments it will be
proclaimed.

CONGRESS MAY GIVE
$65,000,000 TO CANAL

WASHINGTON, May pa quarter OF
a billion dollars will have been appropri-
ated by congress for The purchase and
construction of the isthmian canal If the
estimates for the expenditures in canaI
material for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 1910. are agreed to by congress
next winter.
These estimates, amounting to about
$65, 100000, have just been received in
Washington from the canal zone and are
being reviewed by Secretary of War
Dickinson.
Already there has been appropriated
for the purchase of canal rights from
France and Panama and for construction,
total of $4,000 coo. Secretary Dick
inson finds 1t very difficult to reduce the
estimates and congress itself has learned
that a reduction of the estimates merely
invites a deficiency appropriation later.
The estimates for the canal are sent
to congress independent of the appropria-
ton for the military establishment proper.

COURT CONDEMNED
BY PRESBYTERIANS

DENVER. May 2s.-The church locked
horns with the state today when the gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian church
in effect condemned the action of the
state courts of Tennessee in setting aside
the union of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America with the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
The assembly's criticism of the courts,
which was unsparing, was based on the
report Of the committee on church CO.
operation, which was written by William
Henry Roberts. DID,, LID, the stated
clerk Of the assembly. chairman of the
committee, and for more than 25 years
regarded as the '1awgiver' of the as
sembly.
1t set out in effect the three es.
tablished doctrines with respect to the
relations of the church and state, they
being the Roman Catholic, wherein the
church is superior to state; the theory
recognized in England and some parts
of the United States, that the state rs
superior to the church, and the Calvin
istic, wherein church and state possess
distinct Jurisdiction: of which the latter
is the preferable view and will be held
to be in the Presbyterian church.
The report rebukes the Tennessee
courts for presuming to pass judgment
on matters of church doctrine. 1t recog-
nizes the right of courts to pass upol'
disputes concerning property, but where
religious belief is concerned, the re-
port contended that this shall be adjudi-
Gated In the church councils. The as
sembly also reaffirned the recommends
ton of the assembly of 1905 at which the
union of churches was effected. The re-
port of the committee was based on the
legal action begun by anti-consolidatlon
members of the Cumberland church
wherein they were supported by the rem
nessee courts and given possession of d
number of valuable churches which 9TH
erwise would have become the property

THE WORR OF AN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
PART II.

whose efforts have been confined to the
colleges Of agriculture, and whose utter
ances by reason of this fact have not been
considered of sufficient moment to en-
gage the attention of the nation. The
basis of the needed economic revolution
in agricultural practice which has so ma
terially impressed itself upon the public
mind has already been worked out and
the principles involved reduced TO series
of axioms and equations. From this it
should not be concluded that the agTicuis
tural colleges have CLEANED the fields Of
knowledge Far from IL, for II may be
truly said that we are still at the edge
OF the sea of knowledge, but progress
has been made; much more progress than
has been generally realized. and underly-
ing principles brought to light which are
worthy OF our most earnest attention, and
which may be utilized at the same time
for the material uplift and advancement
of the farmer. and as a consequence, the
nation.
These suggestions have been made to
focus attention on what has been accom-
plished through a process or slow evolu-
ton and by the colleges overcoming many
serious and difficult obstacles which SEEM
ed at times to bar further progress on
their part. Now conditions seem to have
changed and these institutions nave ar
rived at a measure Of popularity crafty
ing to see. The time has arrived when
the work of the agricultural college is be-
ing recognized for the merit II contains
and the future possibilities of good which
lie in it's rational developEnsHt II there
is one question Of surpassfz9 Importance
to the public, it is that % e1nnamic pro-
duction, and the coEsesTSSaza Of the
means by which this end may be attain
ed. This is a truly fundamental prob
lem. yet II may be solved, first through
the proper direction of scientific re-
search in agriculture. and then by placing
the facts OF nature thus discovered with
in the reach of all. This is the purpose
of the agricultural college rightly organ
lied and supported with a sufficient de-
gree of liberality to enable It to accom-
plish the work devolving upon IT in an ex-
peditious manner.
