to attend the Christian schools. That preacher
spent SO years of his noble life in the Chinese
mission field. His name was t. P Craw-
ford. He and his wife had the school and paid
the money,-hence he knew what he was talk
ing about. Throughout the foreign mission
held, the Christian evangeEsts make regular
business of giving free tuition, school books,
school-houses, church buildings free board,
tree medicines, free medical treatment free
clothing and other relief to physical neces-
sites
If Parson Jenkins stated that they had to
charge high tuition to keep the schools from
being SO badly crowded" the most charitable
explanation of his incorrect assertion is that
he has pinned his faith to something said by
somebody else. The statement is wholly in
accurate and comprehensively deceptive.
Leaving out of the case the methods of other
denominations, and combining investiga-
ton to the work of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, it is an easy matter to demon
strate the lack Of truth in the statement of Par
son Jenkins.
In last weeks paper appeared list of
Methodist schools, in foreign fields, which was
kindly furnished me by Mr. W. w. Pinson,
secretary of the Board of Missions of the NJ
T. Church, South. That list shows that even
the boosted Soochow University costs our

CRANBERRY in Brazil, hits them for $7Ioo. And
right now the Cranberry is clamorous for
$4,000 for larger buildings and play grounds.
The Official Report of the Board reveals the
fact that in Korea the missionaries were trying
to collect tuition fees of five cents per month,
and were not entirely succeeding. The same
Report discloses the free tuition feature and
the free board feature, throughout the foreign
field.
Why don't these Parsons read the Reports
published by their Conference? | have read
their missionary pamphlets papers, books, and
Conference Reports. My desk is piled up
with the best sources of information. My
statements are based upon these authorities.
Isn't it shame that l should be publicly
denounced from the pulpit as a liar by parsons
who will not take the trouble to study the
regular official reports made to the annual
Conference Of their own Church?

Editorial Notes.
BY J. D. Watson.

heated controversy is raging over the
question OF Mr.. Lincofns stand on Prohibition
What folly! We think that those people who
try to prove that certain policy is right or
wrong because some prominent man favored
opposed it, make themselves ridiculous.
More especially, if the said prominent
was professional politician.
The Prohibitonsts introduce testimony to
prove that Abraham Lincoln was on their side;
the Ants appeal to Mr.. Lincolns legislative
record to show that he not only voted against
Prohibition but went SO far to vote against
a law which forbade barrooms in those towns
and counties where majority of the citizens
protested against iquor-selling.
We shouldn't wonder if the alleged evidence
on both Sides were genuine Mr. Lincoln was
politician.
But what does it prove, to demonstrate that
he was for Or against, Prohibition? Nothing
Conditions have changed since his day and
his own town and State are not what they
were then. Besides moral question is in
volved in legislation of this kind, and in morals
every mans own conscience should be his
guide.
Alexander H. Stephens was intellectually
the equal of Abraham Lincoln, and morally
not his inferior, by any means yet Mr..
Stephens was consistently and fearlessly an
opponent of Prohibition. The first fight he
made in Taliaferro County, in race for the
Legislature was in favor of the open barrooms,
and his victory was decisive. But later, there
came a change over that people, and Mr.
Stephens home county is now in the PrOhibi-
ton column.
Every man, woman and child in 'Ialiaferro
reveres the memory of the Hero, as indeed
all Georgia does,-but his well-known opinions
on that particular question go for nothing now.
Times have changed. When Mr.. Stephens
was young, prohibition law could not have
been enforced in his county. Public senti-
ment to uphold it, was lacking. Wise states
men are we'll aware Of the principle that eff
fective legislation can advance no faster than
the moral and educational movement of the
masses. Particularly, is this SO with laws
which forbid the doing of things which are
not, in themselves, wrong.
All mankind are in practical accord as to
things which are wrong in themselves,-such
as murder, arson theft,-but when we come to
things which are wrong because they are pro-
hibited-such as selling seed cotton at night,
using the flag for advertising purposes, carry
ing concealed weapons, selling wine and Whis-
key and beer-angry clashes of opinion take
place.
The New York Court of Appeals has just
handed down decision which about gives the
Tobacco Trust absolute control of the tobacco
trade in that State
The Court holds that the Trust does not
restrain trade when it refuses to sell its goods
to an independent dealer.
And the Trust considers every dealer not
absolutely controlled by the Trust an indie
pendent dealer.
If this is sound decision under New York
laws, it is time for the lawmakers of other
States to get busy

asked. The $4,000 for a Sixth Precinct
station; the IS, 500 for a 1rehouse site
in the Fifteenth ward, and the request
of Alderman Huegel for an automobile
fire engine for the Vailshurg section
met with like fates.
In explaining the big tax ordinance
City Auditor Forman a this to say
to the members of the committee: y
Last year the ratables in Newark
aggregated 1926, 900. 900. If we get s15,-
GOO, 900 increaae. this year, as seems
most probable. we will have a city rate
of S1.31 for each $100 of property. From
thai we can deduct two points for poll
tax collections. in accordance with pre-
cedent That will give us a city rate
of S1.35. The county ratables last year
were SAP, coo, 900. Considering a S15,e coo,
GOO increase in Newark taxable proper
ty, it is fair to assume that the increase
for the whole county will be s25, 900, COO,
making the total for Essex s467 900, 600.
The county's tax levy Is s3,e3s,000. OF
that amount 81, 200. 600 is to be raised
for schools, the State tax. That means
a county rate of $0.65. which, with a
city rate Of $1.35, makes the net total
rate fiat So"

Budgets Pruned, but Ordinance
Calls for Levy of
$4,79S,54O.S2.

The 1909 tax ordinance. with extras
cut to the vanishing point. was cons
pleted by the Common Council finance
committee at it's meeting last night,
n will be introduced at the Council
meeting to be held tomorrow night.
At that time Alderman Jerome II. Con-
gleton. chairman of the finance COM
mittee, will enter INTO an explanation
of the increase of sl,e24.112 owe last
years levy.
Tho ordinance this year, as framed
by the committee, will call for s4.79S.-
54o.s2, of which s55o,00o is the most tina,
can be looked for from the contingent
fund. If the ratabies are jumped about
SIS, 000, 900, the total city tax rate will
be about 81, as against's1.63 last year.
City Auditor George Fornan. who,
with the chairman and the other mem
bers of the committee. has repeatedly
gone over the figures and canvassed
the possibilities. gave the committee
the following explanation of the jump:
City Auditors statement.
of the increase in the city appro-
priations 100000 is for maintenance Of
schools. We received only 1896, 900 from
the State railroad tax for school pur-
poses this year as against 1892. 600 la st
year. For the first t.ime'it is necessary
to place in the tax ordinance the city's
share of the cost of grading, curling
and Tagging. the items generally listed
in the tables we nave been discussing
as assessment deficiencies. That means
an increase Of $4,000 more on this
score. The sinking fund and interest
accounts are $25. 900 higher this year.
Fifty policemen were added to the
force last December and of the Police
Department increase $50, 900 is for their
salaries.
The fire department for salaries and
other unavoidab BILE demands requires
$50,000 more. Asphalt streets, special
repairs for which not one dollar went
in the tax ordinance last year, must
have $50, 900 for repairs this year be-
sides $4,000 for the regular work on
the asphalt pavement. A public COM
fort station is to cost $17 800, an art
museum SO, 1000. and the cost of main
tanning the tuberculosis sanitorium
will be. 81, 900 greater this year because
we must reckon on twelve months,
while last year the institution was
open only part of the year. That .ac-
counts for $s5I.5O0 of the Increase. The
departments received about $4,000
more this year for their natural in
crease. Special appropriations. such as
that % ~ 900 for land in Verona, make
up the rest of this more than a million

SOLVE GIRLS DISAPPEARANCE
Helen Grossman, Missing Since Decenl-

Helen Grossman, Missing Since Decem-
Der l, Found Dead in Glencoe
The mysterious disappearance of
Helen Grossman, 10 year old domestic
employed by Samuel Powell of Glencoe,
who suddenly left her employer home
December /, was solved when her body
was found hanging from beam in an
abandoned loft of the barn on the
Powell estate. A pink scarf, which
the girl had been wearing, was tied
around her neck and attached to a
rafter in the barn.
The girl came to Glencoe about six
weeks ago from Scofeld, Wis. She ap-
peared respondent at times and com
planned of "homesickness.
At the time she disappeared she left
a note in her room, addressed to her
sister, Fannie, intimating that she in
tended to do away with herself and
asking the sisters pardon for the grief
such an act would cause her.
The condition of the body gave evil
dence that the girl had been dead sew
eral days.
Relatives Of the dead woman sought
her in this city and it was thought pos
sible that the young woman was the
woman who had been rescued by
Dennis Kelly at the time he met his
death.
