JOSEPH N. TERRELL
MAY Be APPOINTED
1t Is Expected that He Will
Be Named Senator by
Governor Brown.

The death of Senator Clay leaves a
vacancy which Governor Brown will
FILL &.
1t is expected that he will appoint
former Governor Joseph NJ. Terrell
The new Senator will go to Wash
ingtOn in December and serve during
the winter session of Congress. The
appointment is for the time interven-
ing between now and the meeting of
the Legislature.
United States Senators are elected
by the General Assembly in joint SEES
sion. The appointment by the Gov
ernor is not regarded as so impor-
tant. The real fight will be for the
unexpired part of the term for which
the Legislature will elect. That will
expire in 1915, giving term of four
years. The United States Senator
ship is the highest honor that a State
can confer. 1t has long been Gov
ernor Hoke Smiths desire to serve
as Senator and there is every prob
ability that he will be a candidate
before the Legislature next summer.
AS things now stand Governor
Smith will be inaugurated Governor
as soon as the Legislature meets next
June. 1t is suggested that he be
elected Senator by the Legislature
and that he then resign the Governor
ship to take effect about December
following, at which time he would go
to Washington and begin his term as
Senator
That would leave a vacancy in the
Governors Office. The President of
the Senate would act as Governor
until an election could be held, which
would be within two months. There
are several ambitious Georgians who
would like to get into the race for the
Governorship to succeed Hoke Smith,
and the chances are that they will be
accommodated.

Oath That Binds the Burmese.

Perjury having been rife in Rangoon
courts because no form Of oath exist
ed which the Burman considered bind
ing, the government prescribed for
mula which is a queer admixture Of
Buddhism, Brahmanism and Shaman-
ism. Here are phrases from it, picked
at random: IF an untruth passes my
lips, may all the gnats that live in
lakes, ponds and brooks and the gnats
Of the five great rivers Of India de-
stroy me. May curdled blood pass my
lips rather than a lie, and may l die
vomiting blood, my body bent in two.'

Regret to Give Him Up.

Followed by resolutions from his
congregation and many personal ex-
pressions OF regret because of his de-
parture, Mr.. S. g. Brinkley preached
very interesting sermon on "The
Love OF God" at Sunday School.
1t was very touching to see the chill
dren as we'll as older ones rush to the
altar to shake his hand, when they
were asked to do so by the Superinten-
dent if they thought they had been
benefited by having had him with
them.
Mr.. Brinkley has been a great help
to the Sunday School as well as the
church. He came here a stranger.
stayedss only a short while, but his
entire congregation hated to see him
leave. He is Christian gentleman
OF the highest type. He left Monday
morning for his home at Thomson.
Ga, where he will remain for a few
days with relatives and friends, and
go from there to Nashville, Tenn.
where he will attend Vanderbilt
University.
The following resolutions were
adopted by rising vote of his congre-
cation Sunday:
Be it resolved by the members OF
Elizabeth church, that we and the
people and the congregation, OF Eliza
beth church, part with our beloved
pastor and friend with sorrow and re-
greet and that our prayers and best
wishes shall attend him wherever he
may go, and when he has finished his
course OF study, that he may 90 hence
into other fields of Christian work.
Although he has been with this people
short time, he has won their hearts
and their enduring love and affection
shall follow him.

IDEAS FOR GOOD ROADS WANT LYNN RE|NSTATED
Friends of Salt Lake Boy Seek to
Have His Dismissal
Revoked.

In order TO have Scott Lynn reinstated
as a cadet at the naval academy at An
napOliS from which he was expelled Tor
drinking wine on Christmas, d concerted
effort is being made by several Organiza
tons in Utah, through the congressional
delegation at Washington. Added 10 these
efforts, the Utah Senators and Congress
man are being aided by several influen-
tial members Of both bodies Of Congress
in the east
It is said there are extenuating cir
cumstanCes in favor Of young Lynn, a
graduate of the Salt Lake High school,
and a senior cadet at the naval aCad-
envy. Midshipman Lynn and two others
on Christmas day drank wine in their
rooms, and were caught in the act by q
guard. They confessed their guilt, We're
dismissed from the academy, and PTesi-
dent Taft upheld the action of the su-
perintendent of the academy.
Following the brief telegTaphiC an
noUncement Of the dismissal Of the three
cadets, letters received here show that
it was through q by no means fragrant
violation of the rules. For that reason,
powerful influence is gathering to effect
a reinstatement.
A petition is being circulated in Salt
Lake among prominent persons, urging
reinstatement, and the matter has been
taken up formally by the Ladies' Lit
erary club and other organizations.
