BOTH QUICK IN CONTROVERSY
seotsmen Evidently Had Searched the Scriptures" and Held Them
 In Their Memories.

Ian Maclaren used to tell a story of two Scots worthies, douce elders O the kirk, who found themselves alone in the compartment of a railway carriage travelling in Perthshire, and thrown upon each other for company they fastened on a knotty point in theology to beguile the time. The subject of controversy was whether a man is saved by faith or works. The discussion became heated, and the train drew up at the destination of one of the debaters not a moment too soon. Loath to give up the argument, they continued to wrangle until the train began to move out of the sta tion, and the discharged passenger had to run along the platform to eke out the precious moments left for a last work. The subject seemed to hang fire for a perilous moment-the train was accelerating its speed when back from the figure leaning far out of the carriage window came the cry: Hebrews O:38!" ('The just shall live by faith.") Quick as light ming the other flung after the receding anti-nomian: James 1:24!" C'By works a man is justified, and not by faith only.")

FIGHT POSTAL BANK BILL
HOUSE DEMOCRATS OBJECT TO
SENATE MEASURE.
Champ Clark Outlines Stand Which
Minority Will Take-Republi-
cans Badly Split.

In view of republican division and dis
sension on the subject of postal savings
banks legislation the attitude of the
democratic minority of the House on the
subject has become interesting. Repre-
sentative Champ Clark, leader Of the
minority, was asked yesterday what the
democratic position would be.
I'VE haven't canvassed the situation
thoroughly yet said Mr.. Clark, but
there is one thing certain-the democrats
of the House will never stand for the
also as though the republicans were not
going to stand for it either.
Postal savings banks were favored in
the democratic national platform, but
only in the event that the guarantee of
bank deposits by the government was
found impossible to accomplish. When
we find out what sort Of bill the re-
publicans on this side are going to bring
in we shall then be able to determine
what our attitude will be regarding 1t.
1t is one of the most important pieces
of legislation in Congress and it will
have to be given very thorough consider
ation.''
From the statements Of Mr.. Clark and
others 1t Is surmised that the democrats
are likely to offer the proposition of gov
eminent guarantee of bank deposits as a
substitute for the republican postal saw
ngs banks bill. and failing to get IA
vorable action on that. will attempt to
amend the bill in accordance with their
ideas.
One of the big fights of the session is
expected on this legislation when it is
finally presented in concrete shape for
action
