Golfers presents, this week, an
article OF Importance treatise by
an experienced man upon a topic
which Ia pressing. The subject OF
Government ownership OF railways in
the United States proper Is in the
stage where the people are feeling
their way. Both the publica and the
railroad magnates are being educat-
ed. Only q few magnates are still so
Bourbon that they imagine the nation
will ever again be willing to have a
handful of private citizens determine,
unchecked, the conduct OF the one
utility on which all commerce de-
ponds. The people. on their side, are
coming to realize that blind hostility
to railroads Is suicidal. Friendly CO.
operation is needed between public
aspirations and technical knowledge.
Such cooperation may enable private
ownership to last for some time
perhaps 1t may even be permanent.
But Alaska presents different prob
lem. The resources are fabulous.
Guggenheim, Schiff, and others are
telling the world how hazardous Alas
kan investments are. Unhappily for
this game, the revelations before the
Senate Committee on Territories last
winter are not forgotten. Alaska Is
rich beyond description. Its resources
must remain unused unless certain
steps are taken. Who is to take
them? The Morgan-Guggenheim syn

The speaker used the corporation

lions and need OF reform. He pointed
out that many modern corporations

One of the chief reforms is to aban-

The Christian has, so to speak. step

New Creature, Spirit being. which
merely resides In the flesh and has tn
terests that are distinctly separate
and often antagonistic thereto. The
Apostle urges these TO walk In the

In order that none might make a

and thistles, as specimen of the
fruitage OF the fallen flesh. He next
leads us In the opposite direction. and
shows us the fruits and flowers OF

den of the Lord. He tells us that
these delightful fruits of the Spirit
should more and more be cultivated,
and should be developed TO perfection
In our hearts, and, as far as possible,
should overrun and cover and choke
out the imperfections of our flesh. The
fruits OF this garden are all the fruits
OF the Spirit of God-all such as He
originally planted in man and which
have become vitiated through sin
all such as He now has implanted
afresh and would develop in the
hearts OF His sanctified ones. The
fruits OF the Spirit, which should be

The Apostle explains that those
who have become Christ's followers
have crucified the flesh with the pas
sions and desires thereof. They have
voluntarily agreed that they will live
contrary TO the emotions and desires
OF the fallen flesh. He urges, II We
live by the Spirit. by the Spirit let
us also walk. II is the Spirit OF God
which has quickened us and which
ultimately Is to perfect us. But 1t

The recent annual meeting OF the
American Bar association presented
sharply the standpat and progressive
views.
The presidents address by Alton b.
Parker was a lawyers brief against
the whole progressive movement. Not
only the initiative and referendum and
income tax were bad, but popular cleo
ton Of United. States senators, and
even direct nominations were sub
versive of our institutions. The income
tax was a device by which the many
were TO levy taxes to be paid by the
few. The scare-crow, that through the
income tax the nation would invade
the rights of the states, was put for
ward Democracies We're an idle
dream; and the permanence of our
government was dependent upon con-
tinuing to be a halfway station be-
tween a monarchy and Democracy.
Courts were urged to declare the
initiative and referendum void be-
cause the federal constitution guaran
teed to each state a Republican form
of government, and that this means a
representative form of government.
Apparently, the president had for
dunn had its beginning In this country
in the New England town meeting.

made laws directly. without the inter
vention of representatives.
The large influx OF foreign popula-
ton, and particularly from southern
and central Europe, was mentioned
by the president as being responsible

this country. He claimed that they
did not know our system OF govern
ment and therefore could not be trust
