Rev. Ebert Rich of Watson
Vile, Cal, introduced resolution
that ministers should not use tobac-
co. A iayman arose and declared
that Rich should include the lay men
This was done and the resolution
was adopted amid cheering. A COM
missioner then urged the adoption
OF resolution that Presbyterian
judges should refuse to grant licenses
for saloons even though It be their
duty under the law. Several speak
ers al once opposed this with the ar
gument that a Judge should not be
criticized for his actions under the
law. but the first speaker demanded
that judges when confronted with
such a situation resign from the
bench rather than grant the license.
The commissioner from Pennsyl-
vania said II was the legal duty OF
their judges to issue such licenses
and opposed the resolution.
God grant that our judges do
not resign upon such an occasion"
said one commissioner. "for II will
only pave the way for worse ones"
The resolution was defeated.

THE ILLINOIS EARTHQUAKE.

The Republican press OF Illinois Is
not pleased with the election Of VIII
liam Lorimer to the United States
senate. The rending of the deadlock
in the Illinois legislature was attend
ed by an earthquake that did consid-
cradle damage over the state, and
Lorimer had SIS Republican and SO
Democratic votes. The shake-up in
the state was political as well as seis-
mic. What hurts the press is that
Hopkins. bad as he Is, was endorsed
at the state primary for reelection.
but the legislators, whose districts
went against Hopkins, took that as
authority TO do as they pleased and
the combination was formed. Some
Democratic papers, of course, are not
pleased to think that their legislators
deserted the Democratic nominee.
However. popular endorsements of
men OF the Hopkins stripe, who de-
pend on the rotten boroughs of Chi
cago to carry them through the tide
of down state .dlsapproval, are not of
sustaining quality. In Oregon Repub-
lican legislators considered them
selves sufficiently bound to elect a
Democrat to the United States senate.
But he was a good man. There's the
difference. and the power of public
opinion held them to account.
