Not Puritans but Baptists were the
originators of liberty conscience. The
great idea of soul liberty made famous
the mans of Roger Williams who dar-
ed defend it in the face of his Puri-
tan brethen.
at would not be Christian for me
to speak of prosecutions which the
Baptsts suffered but the Baptists
never prosecuted because it would
nullify and deny their own great prin-
ciples.
IF our work is done, if there is NJ
further need to defend these princi-
pies, If they will be defended by
others then we moy unite with
others. We must not stand in the
way of union but if it comes, as |
believe and hope 1t Will, there will
be found a place for the continuance
and maintenance of these great prin-
ciples for which we stand. If others
will not maintain them we must stand
for them.
May that great head of the church
Jesus Christ, author of our saliva
ton through whom alone there is
salvation-may he lead us into ways
must useful to Him whether it may
be by individual denominations Or
amalgamation with other bodies

BALLINGER IL ANGRY.
Attacks Those Who Say He Is An
Opponent of Conservation.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Baming the
agitation which has been raised
throughout the country since the with
|drawal of all Alaskan coal lands in
1906 as the cause of keeping the whole
Question unsettled and also for the
inaction of Congress, Secretary Bal
linger of the interior department to-
night made public long statement
in the form of an interview in the
course of which he assails those who
have charged him with being an op-
ponent of conservation and blames
them for the unsettled condition in
Alaska.
The statement was brought out by
the recent indictments in Washing
ton against Alaska coal claimants.
in which connection the secretary
says these ARE but further steps in
the effort which is being made by the
government to clear up and settle the
whole question"
Since the withdrawal order was
upon a definite policy of dealing with
this resource, the secretary says:
There has been throughout the coun-
| try much agitation regarding Alaska
coal, an agitation, large part of
which is based on false statements
Whatever has been the motive be-
hind the agitation it has resulted in
Keeping the whole question unsettled
and is largely blameable for the in
action of Congress"
/ The secretary points that there are
two essentials for clearing up the
situation 90 an early prosecution
and disposition of the pending cases
involving charges of fraud and con-
spiracy against existing claimants
and (2) Congressional action defin.
itely deciding the manner in which
! Alaskan coal land may be acquired. ;
/ AS the Pacific coast is obliged tc
draw it's coal from the Atlantic coast
the secretary says the charge has arts.
en- that interests" are beneficiaries OF
the of the policy which prevents the
opening up of large fuel deposits"
There has been much talk" Mr.
Ballinger continues, "of the interests
opposing that so called conservation
which makes for reservation rather
than use, but as a matter of fact the
interests naturally favor rather thar
oppose, the reservation and non-ust
idea"
The secretary points out that Mex.
lean coal can be delivered at SaI
Francisco at 81 ton, while a railroad
in Alaska is compelled to pay SIP E
ton
ITO my mind a continuation of the
present situation is the direct anti.
thesis of rational conservation" The
secretary continues Consider thai
for each five tons of Atlantic seaboart
coal transported to the Pacific coast
one ton is used up in transportation
or total waste of 20 per cent, ant
you will see that existing methods
do not conserve but destroy.

GREAT BATTLESHIP
LAUNCHED SATURDAY

Portsmouth, Eng, Aug. 22.-The
Orion, Great Britain's newest and
greatest battleship, was launched here
Saturday in the presence of King Al
fonso and Queen Victoria of Spain
and distinguished gathering of naval
officers and representatives from pub
lie life.
Compared with the armored cruis-
er Lion, of 26,35O tons, just launch
ed. the orion will displace only 22,-
500 tons, but her ten 13-inch guns
and new deadly equipment of torpe'
does will render her by far the most
powerful battleship afloat.
The new torpedo to be carried by
the Orion weighs nearly ton and It's
range will exceed 1900 yards at a
speed of forty knots. The torpedo
carries a charge of gun cotton weigh
ing $50 pounds. The Orion will have
speed of 81 knots and will carry
1000 tons of fuel, giving her an un'
usually wide radius of action.
