TT Is not my purpose in this article to
 discuss the subject of 'Ethics;" that 1 is, the grounds and principles of right and wrong as scientifically ascertained and treated. but to present in an available form some views of practical conduct for the average Christian in the ordinary walks of every day life.
 Some years ago I became intimately as- sociated with the pastor of a Baptist church in Boston. He is a very sensible man, and has a way of observing and thinking for himself. In a private con versation with me he made this striking and memorable remark: eff a member of a Baptist church can speak in meet ing, or can give money to the church, we New England Baptfsts can use him, but If he can't talk, and has no money to give, we don't know what to do with him" This remark aroused in me sdne very serious reflections, and so far as my experience and observation go, l

NEW ORLEANS GETS
THE sHRINERs NEXT
Crescent City Is Selected as the Meeting.
Place, and April 18th the Date.

Louisville, June 9.-New Or.
leans gets tho next meeting of
the Imperial Council of the Mys-
tic Shrine and April IL, 1910, n
the date fixed for the next gath
ering of the Mobiles.
AT II 80 O'Clock this afternoon
the door leading to the session
room Of the Imperial Council
was thrown open with a rush,
and through it darted two red
fezzed excited Shriners. Push
ing brother Mobiles out OF the
way with little ceremony, they
dashed down the steps leading
to the entrance of the Scottish
Rite Cathedral and were away
like a streak down the street.
A policeman at the corner of
Sixth street was aroused by the
on-rush, and for a fieeting mo-
ment contemplated stopping the
two hurricanes, but by this time
they were far east on Walnut
and bound for a telegraph Office.
The cause of their haste and
excitement may be explained by
the simple statement given
above, that New Orleans had
won the fight for the honor of en-
PERTAINING the Shriners In 1910.
And the Crescent City won it
hands down. The other aspirants
made a game fight, but when
the first ballot was begun it soon
was apparent that New Orleans
had the fight won, and the con-
test ended with the utmost good
nature, according to imperial
representatives who were
present.

STATES FINANCES
ARE IN BAD SHAPE.
Not Due 10 Extravsgancs. but to Mistakes
in Method Of Legislation.

Frankfort, KY, June S.-A
statement giving a comprehen-
sive review of the condition of
the States finances, was given
out by Auditor Frank P. James
today. There have been some
published statements recently to
the effect that by the time the
next Legislature meets, the State
VIII be s2,0OO,OOO in debt, but
these have been inspired by those
who have very little knowledge
of the condition of the Treasury,
and for political capital.
No ExtravAgsnss.
The Auditor says he estimates
che deficit on June 80, of this
year at $4,000, which he says
"will be due not to extravaganza
or mismanagement, but to the
fact that the General Assembly
appropriated 81, 1886, 900 addition
al funds, with provision what
ever TO meet this large appropri-
alton"
In regard to the charge that
large sums have been spent on
the State militia, the Auditor
says that it is true since the
present Republican administra-
tion has been in power about
$3.50, 900 has been spent il. an eff
fort to suppress lawlessness, but
that amount has been 10 a meas
ure Offset by various State and
officials who we're short
in their accounts.
The Auditor very clearly
points out that if the next Gen
eral Assembly will make a slight
change in the apportionment of
the funds, at the close of the
present administration the State
will be in better shape financial
ly than it was at the beginning,
provided it does not appropriate
large sums without providing for
of same.

tant Occasion.
CIVIL WAR VETERANS
WILL TAKE A PART.

More than usual interest is
manifested this year in Flag day,
June IA. The American Flag
Association is sending out circu-
lars to the governors of States,
mayors of cities, secret and pa
triotic societies and cities in
general, urging that the occasion
be fitly observed. The day will
mark the 198rd anniversary of
the flag.
There is a great deal more
hietory behind the American
flag than many realize. Origin
ally, 1t was composed of thirteen
stripes and thirteen stars to rep
resent the thirteen original COL
onies, but the growth of the
country has necessitated numer-
Gus changes. June IA, iT77,
congress decided "Thot the flag
of the United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white;
that the union be thirteen bars,
white in a blue field, represent
ing a new constellation"
AT first it was decided to add
a new stripe for every new state
admitted, but when this was
found impracticable, congress
enacted a mearure in 1918, fixing
the number of stripes at the orig.
inaI number, thirteen.
The bill follows: "That from
and after the fourth day of July
next the flag of the United
States be thirteen horizontal
stripes, alternate red and white
that the union be twenty stars
white in blue field and that on
the admission of new State in
to the Union one star be added
to the union of the flag, and such
addition to take place on the
fourth day of July following the
admission"
1t is the purpose of the flag
association to bring more clearly |
before the people the wealth of
romance and patriotism connect.
ed with the flag.
One Of the inspiring incidents
of revolutionary days was the
hosting of a flag over Fort Stan
wix. N. Y: Not having the
proper material the defenders of
the fort made a flag out of their
shirts.
No one will be more interested
on Flag Day than the veterans
of the civil war and it will fall
to the lot Of the q. A. r. and
kindred societies to take
part in the ceremonies.
