The Business Mems League of New
Orleans is presumed to be an orgahiza-

that city and of the State, but its ten
denotes are towards the support of the
liquor traffic, in palmer sense, the
saloon.
II would seem that this Business
Mems League believe that the State will
be ruined il the saloon be outlawed in
Louisiana. It also regards, apparently
with favor, what is generally known as
horse racing
Horse racing conducted legitimately
may be encouraged il the intent be pro-

the legitimate speeding of horses which
IS enjoyed BY al classes Of people, but
book making races must be condemned

Against book making races the

could the law be recalled or so amended

Cannon Out of It.

AS for the house, the present Repub-
lican majority is fifty-six. At least
twenty mine Democratic gains would
be necessary to control the body. 1t
Is impossible to make house fore
cast by states and equally hopeless to
do 1t at this time by individual dis
tricts. The only way Of Judging OF
the future political complexion Of the
house must be on the basis of the gen
eral drift of the country. The one
significant fact is that the Democrats
make confident claims and at least
some of the Republicans are pessimiss
ic. This Is hardly safe criterion.
however, as past elections have shown.
Sometimes the man who is scared Is
the one who puts up the best fight and
wins out The only prediction that
can be made with confidence at this
time is that Joseph @. Cannon will not,
be the speaker of the next house.
Taken all In ali this will be one Of
the most important of year elections
the United States has known. The
tariff, high prices. the Taft administra
ton, the Ballinger-P inehot controver
sy, the insurgent movement. Aldricb-
ism and Cannonism and. in some
states, graft exposures win enter into

AIRY OF THEODORE PARKER
ToDAY-HAD WONDERFUL
PULPIT CAREER

Boston, Mass, Aug. 24.--The uni
versal regard in which the memory
of Theodore Parker is held was given
expression throughout New England
today by exercises commemorafing
the one hundreth anniversary of the
Celebrated preachers birth. In Lex
ington, where Mr.. Parker was born
many of the most important years Of
his pulpit career, the Unitarian
churches and societies joined in OBJ
serving the anniversary.
Born at Lexington, August "a. 1910.
the son of a farmer and mechanic,
Theodore Parker was educated at
Harvard College and Harvard dlvin-
ity school, and graduating from the
latter in 1886. He was ordained June
II, 1887, and installed the same day
as pastor of the West Roxbury Uni
tartan Church Hi, famous sermon.
preached on May 10 1911, attracted
much attention and aroused violent
I opposition, mainly because IT denied
! mems need of the miraculous element
i'm Christianity. Other sermons fol-
lowed, with the result that Parker
was virtually excluded froL: the Uni
tartan fellowship.
In 1876 the 2sth Congregational So
ciety was formed i'm Boston, and Mr.
Parker became its minister. Until
1859 he preached in Music Hal To the
largest congregation in Boston, when
his health failed. Seeking restoration
by travel, he died the next year in
Florence.

carrying out his plan of economy in

given him i'm a clause in the Sundry
civil appropriation bill passed at the
recent session. In that measure the
sum of 100000 was placed at his dis

The entire matter is under the jur-
isdiciion OF the president, and he has
directed Major Charles De Lana Hine

port to him the best way to proceed

Judge Honore's court today. If IL
was a ruse to get Wilson into court
so that he could be brought into the

ness, as is asserted by the defense,
II failed. Judge Honore postponed the
Wilson case until after the disposal
of the Browne case and refused to
declare wilson's bond forfeited to the
state.
The cross examination of Represen-
tative White, who alleged Browne
bribed him to vote for Lorimer for
senator, was resumed today. Attorney
Forrest of the defense clashed with
the court in trying to get 'yes or
no" answer from the witness to
question as to whether he expected
to be Indicted on his confession that
he had accepted bribe.
II don't know" was Whites re-
pcated answer. Forrest insisted as
often on direct affirmation or de-
nial or the question. in spite of the
fact that the court had ruled against
him.
"I know my rights in this court"
heatedly declared Forrest.
Judge Kersten leaned over and
pointed his finger at the lawyer.
"The court knows how to enforce the
rules of the court if the attorney
does not abide by them," he said
Forrest then took up new line of
questions.
