JACKSON IS WILLING TO
ACCEPT POST0FFICE JOB

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. 9.-Henry
s. Jackson, of Atlanta, has made known
his willingness to accept the Atlanta post
office, and it is regarded here as practi-
cally certain that his name will be sent
TO the senate for confirmation as post
master, although he is not the choice of
Postmaster General Hitchcock and did
not originally have the Endorsement of
the so-called referees.
The postmaster general is understood
to favor the appointment of Hugh Nc
Kee, who originally had the Endorsement
of Mr.. johnson and Henry Blum, of Sa-
vannah Colonel Livingston stands prac-
tically alone in the belief that Jackson
will not land because of Hitchcock's OPP
position. President Taft stated again
Yesterday that he intended to appoint
Mr.. Jackson.
Talking to Mr.. Macon, the president
yeste rday assured him that he intended
TO appoint F. Carter Tate to the United
states attorneyship at Atlanta. confirm
ing the statement to this effect recently
given out by Attorney General Wicker
sham.
Despite the apparent certainty of the
appointments of Jackson and Tate, the
other applicants have not abandoned
hope. James F. Race. who wants the
postoffice. and w. G. Tollson, who wants
the attorneyship, are in Washington.
Tollsons brother is a Republican member
Of congress from Connecticut

'ments will render the parcel liable to
first class postage.
Whenever practicable, packages to be
mailed should be brought, to the main
Office, rather than to a station. This will
facilitate their dispatch, and lessen the
liability of miscarriage.
Every package should bear in the up
per left-hand corner of it the name and
address of the sender. This is very i'm
portant It is better to do this also in
the case of letters.
The address of every letter or package
should be written plainly, and 1t should
indicate the name of the street and the
number of the residence or place of bus
mess of the addressee.
All packages should be securely wrap
ped, so as to lessen the chance of break
age; but they are not to be sealed against
inspection, unless paid for at the letter
rate of postage. nor should they contain
any written matter
Matter of value should be registered.
When remittances are to be made, the
money should be sent either registered or
by means of omney orders.
All matter should be mailed as much In
advance of Christmas as is possible.

CONDEMNED BY J. J. HILL
Says Government Gives to
Tom, Dick and Harry With
out Discriminating.

OMAHA. Dec. Elm his address at the
National Corn exposition today, James
]. Hin emphasized the necessity of In
creasing the productivity of the farms
OF this country. He said in part:
y THE whole subject Of our food supply
and its relation to population, industry,
growth, institutions and everything that
concerns our future is appropriate for
this occasion. The true statement of the
broad general fact which 1t is most de-
sirable that everyone should understand
is this: that this country cannot feed
the population which it must necessarily
Eave within comparatively few years II
It does not change its agricultural meth
DDS. The emphasis is all on that condi-
ticnal clause.
I'VE cannot support our coming popu-
lation upon the crop yield per acre that
now satisfies U.S. We have to transform
growing decline in value and productiv-
ity of our soil under continued cultiva-
ton into a rapid increase in both. If the
crisis can be seen moving upon us now,
and II it took Great Britain over half a
century to raise her wheat yield from
about 10 bushels to % bushels per acre,
we have no time to lose. What has to be
considered, the keynote of all present dis
cussion. is not the difficulty but the ur-
gency of the task. The whole argument
is one not of despair, but of reinsurance;
provided only that we do the obvious. in
dispensable and feasible thing, and do it
now
Area is inelastic. Our public lands are
mainly exhausted. A few more years will
see the last OF them. And, lest they
should not be squandered quickly enough,
we not only offer them to everybody I'M
der conditions that invite and reward
fraud, but whe nthe government finds
itself burdened with a particularly choice
and valuable tract of farm land it holds
lottery and distributes it among Tom,
Dick and Harry, no matter whether farm
ers or spectators, after they have been
collected from distant parts of the coun-
try by appealing TO the passion for gam
bling The areas to be obtained by recla-
nation work would not, all told, take
care Of our increase for two years. So
there are final limits already in sight
to the quantity of tillable land"

Red Cross stamps are not good for

that did not use the language attributed
to me. 1 did not say that the Episcopal
church was a branch of the Roman Cath
Ollie church, nor that II differs from the
Catholic church in being a reformed
branch of the latter. The Episcopal
church, 1 said. is a branch of the One
Holy Catholic and apostolic church, and
it underwent reformation-I ask the
council to bear witness to the correction
of the assertion"
MISSION REPORT READ.
Following this discussion the report OF
the general mission board was read by
Bishop Nelson. 1t was a paper of consid-
cradle length, and reported in detail the
years work at all missionary charges in
the diocese. Gratifying progress has been
made by them all. One of the notable
suggestions contained in the report was
one providing for the appointment of
general missionary to supply unoccupied
missions, and another providing that
the treasury be authorized to borrow
funds If necessary to pay all stipends,
and that the board be authorized to take
steps to adjust all such deficits.
Discussion of a resolution introduced at
the Wednesday afternoon session by
Col. u. d. Harrison. indorsing the second
adoption of the preamble to the consti-
tuition of the church, came up Thursday
morning by special order OF procedure.
NELSON AGAINST RESOLUTION.
The resolution was strongly opposed by
Risbop Nelson on the ground that 1t
would be a serious blunder, because he
objects to the embodiment of any creed
in the cauons of the church.
IT may or may not believe every word
of this preamble" said he, but belief
has nothing to do with 1t. do not be-
lieve it has any place in the constitution
of the church 1t is a reproduced creed.
The bishop declared it would be bad law,
bad religion and bad faiSn to adopt the
preamble.
Colonel Harrison in a storing address
urged the adoption OF the resolution. He
denied that the adoption of the preamble
would mean the adoption of a creed or
cannon. The preamble, he defined, is
merely a whereas, certain things are
true therefore, be It resolved" 1t Is pro-
per. he argued, for that body of law, the
constitution. to have a preamble. The
language of the preamble is merely prep

paratory and descriptive, he pointed out.
The discussion involved no question OF
theology, he declared, nor any obstruse
question which layman cannot compre-
bend. The preamble, he argued, is mere
ly declaration of existing conditions of
the church.
HARRIsoN's QUERY.
.eW+lat clergyman on this floor de-
manded Colonel Harrison, can say the
church referred to in this preamble is not
the Episcopal church," 1t is not only
the privilege but the duty of the conven-
ton to take some action on the resolu-
ton. asserted Colonel Harrison. He de-
MED that the delegation would be in
structed by any such action.
DR.. Wilmer spoke in favor of adopting
the resolution. He declared the question
involved as the most important that the
convention decide. He urged that the
bishops opinion be left entirely out of
mind in considering the question, and
that the convention should apply their
minds solely to its merits. DR.. Wilmer
then entered upon a very learned discus
sion of doctrinal and theological issues
involved by the rejection Of the articles.
OTHERS MAKE REMARKS.
When DR.. Wilmer had finished, Mr..
Thomas EgleSton, one OF the lay dele
gates, urged that no action be taken.
Mr.. Milton Dargan thought no action
would be necessary. A motion to take
no action was lost.
At this juncture the bishop again sur
rendered the chair and took the floor to
make a few remarks of rejoinder. He
gave it as his opinion that even" DR..
Huntington had made mistakes in certain
canons which he presented. He said his
purpose in taking the floor the first time
was merely to call the attention of the
convention to the seriousness of certain
questions involved. Taking issue with
Colonel Harrison and DR.. Wilmer, he
vehemently declared that the preamble
does contain a doctrine; and he further
insisted that its scope is of the broadest.
most inclusive breadth. Whether il is
meant or not meant so to be continued
the bishop declared the action of the
convention ought to be construed as in
struction for the delegation to the next
general convention.
MOTION IS ADOPTED.
The whole discussion was finally settled
by the passage Of Colonel Harrison's mo-
ton to adopt that portion of the resOlu-
ton in regard to the preamble. amended
by DR.. Wilmer to provide that this ae-
ton be not construed instruction for the
delegation.
