CHURCH SPLITS OVER
ELECT INFANTS CLAUSE

Lewisburg, W.. Va, May 25.-After
standing two and a half centuries as the
doctrine of the church, the "elect in.
FAINT clause of the confession OF
faith of the southern Presbyterian
church came up for revision today in
the general assembly.
The church is divided on the ques.
ton and a fight has been waged for
years.
Those who favor action are divided
into two classes. One would make an
explanatory footnote to the confession
al, the other faction Of advocates holds
to changing the wording Of the "elect
infant" clause itself. How to say, in
ehurchly language, that the church holds
that all infants are elect is the prob.
lem.

ment of History Bearing
on Likelihood of War.
SPANISH WAR


Washington, May 23.-yoting down
20 to 80, an amendment offered by Mr..
Burton to authorize only one new bat.
tleship instead of two, the senate to.
day passed the naval appropriation
bin. The bill carries an appropriation
of almost $l34 100000. 1t was before
the senate for two days, the debate be-
ing confined almost exclusively to the
battle question.
Important Amendments.
Two important amendments were
adopted today. One of them, offered
by Senator johnson, %appropriates
si50,O0O for the purchase Of torpedo
boats "whose vitals are below the nor.
NAL load l%ine''; the other by Senator
Jones eliminates railroad, county and
municipal bonds from securities that
may be deposited hv contractors.
The naval increase for the fiscal year
ending June l, 1911, provided by the
BILL is as follows:
Increase Provided For.
1.-TWO FIRST class battleships to cost
not exceeding $s,000,0 900 each and
when equipped with armament and mr..
NOR about $l2, 100000 each.
1.-Two fleet golfers to cost not OK
cooding 81, 100000 each.
Five submarine torpedo boats not
exceeding a total Of $500, 900.
six torpedo boat destroyers to cost
not exceeding $4,000 each.
THE house bill provides for only
four submarines and ~ torpedo boat
~destroyers."
The senate adopted a resolution that
not more than one of the battleships
should be built by the same company.
The provision inserted in the house
requiring that the battleships aud
fleet c~olliers should be built under the
eight hour law - was retained by the
senate.
Historical Information.
The closing hour o. senate ser.
we'd 10 elicit two important historical
revelations by Senator Depew which
were given from his own store Of in.
formation. One Of them bore on the
war with Spain.
The statement regarding the Span.
ish war was elected by IN assertion
by Senator Hepburn that the people
themselves did not want war. but gen.
orally were compelled by their rulers
TO submit to their desires.
Taking issue with the Idaho senator
Mr.. Depew said that popular demand
had forced the war with Spain on the
country and that President Mckinley
had been opposed to it,. He said also
that terms as favorable could have
been obtained from Spain without con
flict as with war.

president would have negotiated Spain

Field For Agitators

There is no doubt that the liquor
problem has furnished the most fertile
field ever offered to agitators, profes.
sional reformers, discredited preach.

have brought into existence during the
past century have proved to be the
most expensive ever adopted in this
country and the most stupendcus fail.

ton, properties worth hundreds OF mil.
lions of dollars have been confscated.
revenues worth hundreds of millions of
dollars have been lost, and the problem
IN practice is no nearer solution than
1t was fifty or one hundred years ago.
and the consumption of alcoholic bcver.
ages instead of being decreased, has in.
creased within the last fifteen years
something like fifty per cent.

Must Oppose Churches

we must oppose the Anti.Saloon
league because it has undertaken to be,
and up to two years ago was, the most
dangerous political movement that this
country has ever known.
IL is a movement referred TO as the
Church in Action and this so.called
Church in Action has undertaken TO
dictate to every Legislature in the Unit.

governors, senators, mayors Of cities
and members of our various legislatures
and city councils; and ! do not think
that exaggerate when | say that un.
der the lash of this organization the
public men of this country up TO two
years ago, tremblcd, and in many states

that they abhorrcd, and that they voted
for only through fear OF political de.

has never hestated TO condemn the An.
