In Accordance with Scripture.

The Boer expressed his surprise at
such language from a missionary.
saying he had acted strictly according
to Scriptural precept. The missionary
said he would not say another word
if the Boer could justify his act from
the Bible. The Boer thereupon asked
for a Bible and, referring to Deut
1921, read as follows:
'Ye shall not eat of anything that
dieth Of itself; thou shalt give it to
the stranger that is within thy gates.

1T RESTS WITH CLARK
Success of Insurgent Movement De-
ponds on Leader of Democrats

Washington, Feb. 15-What will
Champ Clark, minority leader, and the
Democrats do? is the question that is
troubling the house insurgents against
the rules. And as to radical revision
Mr.. Clark and the Democrats are still
noncommittal.
The real fight for reforming the rules
is expected to go over until the opening
day of the special session next month.
After the preliminary business of elect
ing Joseph G.. Cannon speaker-there is
no Republican candidate against him
and swearing in the members John
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, member OF the
committee rules will offer a resolu-
ton providing for the adoption of the
rules of the present congress and will
move the previous question, allowing
perhaps twenty minutes for debate.
One Little Concession Possible.
1t is possible, as a concession to the
insurgents, the house leaders will con-
sent to the one modification of giving
up one day Il week to the call of COM
mitteeS. This is the plan proposed by
Townsend of Michigan, Scott. Anthony
and Campbell of Kansas. and one or
two others. 1t would permit commit
tees to get action on bills without the
consent of the speaker. But he would
still retain his power to make the COM
mittee appointments, which is one great
source of his ability to direct legisla-
ton.
If the Republican organization should
refuse this concession the adoption of
even this amendment would depend on
the readiness of the insurgents to CO.
operate with the Democrats who are
understood to be generally favorable to
it, ANY more radical change in the
rules must depend wholly on the CO
operation of insurgents and Democrats.
Mr. Clark has said that he favored
weekly call of committees, and some
means to get a vote on any measure
that a majority of the members desired
to vote on But he declined to express
an opinion on the advisability of a conf
mittee to make committee assignments
Under the present system he. as mi
nority leader will make the minority
assignments. - -s.,

nearly three months ago is the an
nouncement made here by A. 0. Brown,
the failed New York broker.
The wedding took place in Freehold,
n. J.. November %. 1908.

than we wanted out of the unfortunate
failure of August and the resulting
suits"

the Brown firm. She was summoned
into the bankruptcy court by the re
ceivers of the Brown company because

Mr. Brown previous to the failure.

EIGHT YEARS OF TAFT
The Democrats Already Are Beginning
to Anticipate.

Washington, Feb. 15.-With the ad-
mission that William H. Taft probably
will be president for the next eight
years, the Democratic members of the
committee on election of president and
vice president submitted to the house
a protest against the passage of the
bill making Senator Knox eligible for
the cabinet.
The Democrats filed their protest as
a minority report on the bill. They in
sist that the proposed legislation will
not remove the constitutional disability.
They continue:
The office of secretary of state will,
probably, be held for eight years by
its next Incumbent, and a designing
senator could reasonably anticipate
that, although his salary would be tenn
porarily reduced in the closing years of
his senatorial term, at the expiration of
that term it would, through his fnfiu-
ence, be restored"
The significance of this statement
was not overlooked. 1t caused much
adverse comment by the other Demo-
Gratis of the house, and amusement
from the Republicans
