SPORADIC TEACHING.
Term Applied to Work in the Sunday
School Room.

New York, March 12.-Speaking
last night before the New York Sun
day School association convention, DR..
NJ Woolsey Stryker, president of
Hamilton college denounced what he
styled sporadic teaching in Sunday
school classes.
He said there were too many
teachers who had no particular know
ledge of their subject and he urged a
more serious study of the Bible. 'The
basis of Christian faith" he said, sis
historic fact 1t is in the book, and
we have got to know the fact and the
book"
Other speakers did not agree with
DR.. Stryker for they declared that he
had failed to take into account the
self sacrifice of the vast army of l.
100000 unpaid Sunday school teach
ers in this country.
Robert Watchorn, commissioner of
immigration, who was one of those
who took issue with DIR. Stryker said,
''if we waited until everybody knew
the Bible from Genesis to Revelations,
we should all be irreligious."

INSURGENTS MEET.
Spend Three Hours Planning for the
Fight on Rules.

Washington, March 12-For more
than three hours the Republican 'in-
surgents'' discussed behind closed
doors the details of the fight they
propose to make next Monday, when
the Sixty-first congress conveneS,
against the adoption of the rules of
the last house to govern it.
The leaders expressed entire
satisfaction with the size of the meet
ing. claiming at least ten more mem
bers would vote with them against the
rules. Much of the time at the meet
ing was devoted to discussion of a
compromise with the organization
forces.
The suggestion was made that the
insurgents enter into a compromise
with the regulars whereby COM
Inittee would be appointed at the be-
ginning of the special session to revise
the rules of the house. Pending the
report of the committee, the rules of
the last house will be enforced. The
sentiment of the meeting was that the
speaker should not have the power OF
appointing the committee If such
compromise was agreed upon.
Those present at the meeting were: ::
Representative Gardner and Lover
ing of Massachusetts; Murdoch and
Madison of Kansas; Hubbard of Iowa;
Nose Cooper. Nelson, Kopp, Cary,
Lenroot and Esch of Wisconsin; Mil
Ter and Davis of Minnesota; Kineaid
and Hinshaw of Nebraska; Gronna of
North Dakota. and Poindexter of
Washin gton-
1t was stated at the meeting that
kilograms had been received from
Representative Lindbrerg of Min
nesota, Norris of Nebraska and Hayes
of California that they would vote
with the insurgents" After the con-
ference, the insurgents" declined to
discuss the conclusions reached at the
meeting. The compromise proposition
did not meet with general approval. A
programme for the parliamentary
procedure for Monday was agreed
upon, but not made public. Chairman
Gardner said:
'oThe meeting voted unanimously to
give the tariff bill a definite plan for
a thorough revision of the rules. This
programme will not be made public
until congress is organized"
The Topeka state journal., 1909-03-12

The Senate Will Not Let Any
thing Interfere
With It's ''Stand Pat" Position
on the Tariff.
THE WEST WILL FIGHT
Against Putting Its Products
on the Free List.
These Include Wool, Hides,
Fruits and Ores.

Washington, March 12.-The Repub-
| lican members of the committee on fin
ance will begin a systematic study OF
the new tariff bill as soon as copies
are obtained. They feel the Importance
| of pressing the measure to a speedy de-
termination and Senator Aldrich as
chairman Of the committee has said that
he would make an effort to have the
bill reported as soon as possible after
its passage by the house
The bill cannot, of course, be Official
whole until after it has been passed
by the house and transferred to the
senate in the usual formal manner.
1t is believed, however, that the house
will make few changes in the bill after
it is reported from the committee on
ways and means and the Republican
members of the senate on finance feel
that they will have in the house bill as
good a basis for their opinions as they
will have after that measure has re-
ceived the consideration Of the house
itself.
1t is conceded that many changes will
be made in the senate and that most
of them will be suggested by the fin
ance committee. In the senate the
smaller states ahve greater proper
donate representation than in the house
and if the bill as it comes from the
house, should fail to give what is con-
sidered adequate protection to some of
their industries, there would undoubt-
edly be strenuous effort by the sena-
tors from those states to restore the
desired equilibrium
Where the West Stands.
The thinly populated states of the
west. are especially interested in the
protection of wool, hides, fruits, lead
ore, copper, etc, and will unquestiona-
bly, resist any effort to discriminate
against them, and they would regard as
such effort the placing of any of these
articles on the free list
As the committee on finance is at
present constituted the far west is
without representation on it. There is
little doubt, however, that in the reor-
ganization this defect will be remedied,
but even though there should be no
change in this respect, the senators
are still confident that the committee
would take care of their interests. If
it should fail to do so they will make
their fight on the senate floor.
While Senator Aldrich's hope is to
have the bill in shape to be reported
soon after it comes from the house, much
will depend upon the character of the
house measure and the disposition of
the members of the finance committee.
Unquestionably the controlling desire
in the senate will be to make the bill
distinctively protective measure and it
is not believed that the Republican SEN
ators will permit even their desire for
haste to cause them to sacrifice this
feature of it,
