TWO EMPTY TITLES.

The title Doctor of Divinity and
the title Doctor of Laws, have in
our day, come to mean little more
than that their possessors, or their
friends, had pull with the pow
ers that be" in school of theology
or some sort of a college.
One does not have to be a grad
uate of any college, not even OF
an ordinary country school, or be
much of a preacher, to become a
Doctor of Divinity now a days; and
as for the title Doctor of Laws, the
condition is worse yet. One does
not have to know anything about
law, or very much about any sub
jeot whatsoever for that matter,
to qualify him for receiving the
title.
All he needs is 1.-THE pull and ID
he hasn't the pull, a contribution
or donation of the t'long green
will be accepted as most salts
factory substitute.
After all, there is a manifest fit
ness about these title and when the
facts are considered the titles may
be regarded as singularly appro-
pirate. Many of our so-called di-
vines put forth their most strenu-
Gus efforts, not in ''preaching the
whole counsel of God" but in doc
toring theological distractions; and
every one knows that the major
portion of the time of our judges
and lawyers is taken up in doc
'toring'' the state and federal laws
There was time in the history
of civilization when both titles were
indicative of pre- minenoe; but it
is certainly not SO any more. To
be sure, there are yet in the min
istry, able men with the title D.
D. affixed to their names, but they
would be just as able without it,
and there are altogether too many
who have the title without any
merit to back it. Therefore we say
the title is mockery and guaran-
tees nothing. 1t is like bonded
warehouse stamp upon an internal
revenue commodity, no guarantee
of merit or quality whatsoever.

SMOOTH MR.. VAN CLEAVE.


Van Cleave says that it will be
a pleasure as we'll as a. duty, for
him to give his aid to Mr.. Taft in
defending the people in general
against the warfare waged upon
them by the forces who want to
abolish the injunction etc.
You are pretty smooth Mr.. Van
but the perpetuity of American
liberty is very much more endang-
cred by the tactics of men of your
ilk, than by the warfare of those
who want to see our courts fulfill
the functions for which they we're
created, and not become the plant
tools of any combination OF men
whatsoever.
The following by Justice Van
orsdel of the Court of Appeals OF
the District of Columbia, states the
position of those who want to abol-
1sh the injunction" better than any
deliverance of ours. This is what
the Justice said:
1.-The courts of the United States
will be useful and fulfill the func-
tions for which they were created
only so long as they are content
to Interpret the laws in conformity
with the limitations of the constt-
tuition. Any attempt to disobey these
restrictions is step across the
danger line; and will, of necessity,
lead to judicial arrogance, tyranny

A FALLAOOUS SERMON.

Last sunday afternoon at the
Y. M. c. A. assembly hall, we lis
tened for over an hour and a. half
to one of those tedious, long wind
ed, puritanical harangues, such as
might be expected from an inlet
tered 'backwoods preacher, whose
unbridled emotions might carry him
far beyond the domain of sense or
reason; but from a Doctor of Di-
vinity we hoped for something that
would have the merit, at least, of
being good horse sense. We were
disappointed.
According to the doctors philoso-
ply all the efforts of the men of
organized labor to improve their
condition will be futile and I'M
awaiting until they make war upon
"Sin" and kill it stone dead.
The only relief against the op-
pressions of the unjust, the cruel
ties of heartless employers, the un-
scrupulous exactions of coal barons,
the merciless trusts, the various
tyrannies that degrade women and
children, in short, every concedv-
able form of iniquity and wrong,
can only be overcome and eradi-
Gated by the death of the monster
"SIN."
Evidently the reverend gentle-
man makes no distinction between
the abstract and concrete. We may
in figurative language speak of sin
as the ''cause of all our VICE." but
as a matter of fact there is no
such thing as a substantive entity
called "Sin.''
Thought or action which by
omission or commission, ,transgress-
es the law of God constitutes sin.
That's the name of the transaction
and its effect. Sin as the name
OF an effect, We, under the usage
of our language frequently employ
as word to express action, and we
also employ it figuratively as a
substantive reality and invest it
with certain attributes; but to say
that all efforts towards improve
ment in our conditions are to be
abandoned, and our energies direct
ed towards the graduating from
society of an abstraction called
"S1n" is unadulterated nonsense.
Sin is the name of a product OF
mans creation. Trades unions and
other reform organizations are seek.
Ing to turn mans creative activities
into righteous channels. They
think it more rational to remove
causes than waste any time over
distractions
The fallacy which turks beneath
the doctors preaching contentious
is precisely the same old fallacy
upon which rests the monstrous
doctrines of original sin, infant
damnation, predestination to eter.
nal torments, and other barbarous
beliefs.
The fallacy makes of Sin a
thing that has and can have, sub.
stantdal existence independent oil
God, man, or the devil. Surely a
Doctor Of Divinity ought to see the
utter absurdity of such belief.

1t will be the aim of the manage

of the most popular business training

students may secure thorough instruc-

least expense. In fact, we believe it
possible to accomplish the same or
better results in half the time con-
sumed by most other schools. The
plan of work will be fully up to the
times, and the common saying mo

MUSIC AND oRATORY.
1t will be our purpose to establish
with the Associated Colleges, school
of music, in which students will have
all the advantages of a high class
conservatory at an expense that can
be afforded by all. The usual course
will be given, including Vocal, Instru-

of Elocution and Oratory will be adj
apted to the practical as well as the
artistic nature, whether as Teacher,
Lawyer, Public Speaker, Salesman, or
in every day life.

For the past fourteen years, the
Founder of this Institution has been
