Classed as Unitarian.

1.-THE testimony all goes to prove that
Dr. Grant Is Unitarian. pure and
simple. I say the Presbyterian min
lister who invites q Unitarian minister
to assist him at Christmas service Is
a Unitarian himself. You might as
well ask Jefferson Davis to attend an
Abraham Lincoln celebration"
DR.. Grant made a statement yesterday
In his own defense. Members OF his coun-
sci, the Rev. William Charles HogE and
John G. Reading, a Williamsport lawyer,
pleaded in his behalf. and last night the
fourteen members Of the judicial COM
mission went into executive session to
consider the evidence.
Judge Hinckley addressed the commits
sion for an hour and forty-nine minutes
He denied DIR. Grants allegation that the
case was the result of feud In the
Northumberland Church.
Read his letter to the editor OF a
newspaper in which he refers to the
Christ of the Bible as an unnatural, ab-
normal being, fearfully and wonderfully
constructed by theological opinion; read
where he says, L would no more deny
the divinity of Jesus Christ than would
deny the divinity of myself and your
self; read in the testimony how he eX-
planned John iii:16. by saying that Jesus
was the most conspicuous Son of God In
the world at that time.
'Is this not denying Christi?

Quotes From Testimony.

Judge Hinckley quoted the testimony OF
witnesses to show that DR.. Grant took
the Unitarian view Of the Master. He
quoted his references to Jesus. Mary
and Martha playing games and dancing
around little"
This testimony. dovetailed together, is
4 complete and fiat denial OF the God
head of Jesus" declared the lawyer. 1.-The
evidence shows that this man. not salts
fed with the effect of his public preach
ing, went to a woman's house with a
copy of a sermon In his pocket, and de-
stroyed her faith by instilling doubts In
her mind concerning the divinity of Jesus
THE testimony Of these witnesses goes
to show that this man does not believe
In the mediatortal Office of Christ, and
that he doubts the divinity and the resur-
rection OF Christ In ignoring Christ s
mediatorial Office he exhibits his Uni
tarianism. He said to his Sunday school
children: My children, we don't need
any mediator. Our Heavenly Father is so
good that q mediator Is not necessary
'In preaching on the mediatorship OF
Christ he took the parable Of the prodigal
to his father without any mediator, as
his theme. He conducted . preparatory
service without mentioning Christ: he
preached a Christmas sermon without

Newark,s Court House Board q. A.
To the Editor OF the Evening Starr
Let Essex county be grateful for the
fact that when 1t decided to erect a
new court house It secured a commits
sion that did It's duty we'll. It's three
members, DR.. Leslie d. Ward. George
r. Gray and Thomas MCGOWAN, who
was a director Of the Board of Free
holders, have gone to their eternal rest
but they left a monument behind them
that will stand as long as material
things will stand in this shifting.
changing world of ours.
It is a monument of which the citi-
zens may well be proud. and they may
be prouder still of the fact that its
erection is not and lev was tainted
with any of the practises that have
stirred our sister county Of Hudson.
While we do not wish to assume a
''holier-than-thou' attitude, we can
certainly ''shake hands with ourselves
over the fact that Essex county's
Court House Commission worked
wisely and we'll.
There may be a few defects in the
building, such as the ventilating sys-
tenn, but with these the commission
had nothing to do directly. ID. G.

..pury the Electric wires,

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Many times 1 have noticed articles IN
the Evening STAR advocating the
placing of trolley and telephone wires
under ground, and the writer would
like to join in the popular clamor.
The danger in placing these webs OF
highly-charged wires over the We
hicular traffic and pedestrians Is too
apparent. Something unforeseen may
cause the wires al a busy point like
the "Four Corners to drop some day
and lives will be lost.
Nothing but a fatality will cause the
responsible persons to act these days.
and doubtless the electric wires will re-
main overhead until we have a
calamity. NHH f =
The telephone wires are insulated
and not as dangerous as the trolley.
But they are an eyesore to a fast
developing metropolis. They will all
go beneath the earth in the near future
and the corporations should cooperate
with the city at once. 3 has proved a
very beneficial investment in New York
city; and there is no reason why 1t can
not be done in Newark.

EVENING. FEBRUARY II. 1911.
LINCOLN DAY IN THE SOUTH.

SHS HE adjournment of the New Orleans Board of Trade and
Cotton Exchange over Monday in honor of the birthday of
Abraham Lincoln, the first time such action has been taken
anywhere in the South, is significant of the change that has come
over the spirit of the South. Abraham Lincoln was President dur
ing the whole period of the Civil War, and to the Southern mind
at that time he typifed all that Southern sentiment execrated.
His proclamation of emancipation for the Southern blacks was
regarded as an attempt to inspire a servile rebellion in the South
and cause massacre in defenseless Southern communities. But all
that is past and gone now. The South might well erect a monu-
ment to u Abraham Lincoln in gratitude for the abolition of slavery
for the South has prospered amazingly with free labor, and it no
longer bears the sting of the reproach that in q civilized age it held
human beings as chattels. There is no longer a divided sentiment
anywhere in respect to the institution of slavery, and the emanci-
patton proclamation is cherished by all Americans. North and
South, as the great benefaction of the Civil War. The Southern
people recall that at the time of his martyrdom Abraham Lincoln
was considering means of assisting the South to recover from the
exhaustion of the war, that his one desire was to oblterate the
scars Of war and make the nation one in sentiment.

Is there no way TO compel the owners
Of property to clean the sidewalks in

particular reference to property which
Is held for speculative purposes, name
ly, vacant lots, whether in the city or

many owners to neglect this sort OF
property whenever a snowfall happens
along. The net result Is that adjacant
property is injured to the extent that
the whole block appears to be unused

OsT AND REVENUES OF II PANAMA CANA

HG0 OLONEL COCKTAILS, chief engineer of the Panama canal,
" points out that the government can have a much larger
revenue from the canal with which to pay its expenses than
will be afforded by the tolls. The expensive plant now at the
isthmus need not be abandoned, but can be used for furnishing
ships with necessary supplies; coal and oil can be largely sold to
vessels, and the government can establish a plant for repairing
ships. All this will bring in revenue. Account must be made, also
Of the saving that can be effected. A warship Is sent around the
continent at a large cost. When the canal is opened both time
and money will be saved. There will be occasions when it will be
necessary for a whole feet to pass between the Pacific and the
Atlantic. Government GOLFERS will make cheaper and safer trips
from ocean to ocean by way of the canal. When the canal is in
operation the efficiency of our navy will be doubled. We will not
have to build as many ships to maintain our naval status. If this
nation should engage in a war the value of the canal to us would
be incomparably greater than Its cost.

TT T is predicted that at least two million people in the famine.
stricken districts of China will die if relief from abroad is
not soon afforded. The number of sufferers in two provinces
is estimated at three millions, and the area of suffering is extending.
Adequate relief can be had, it is said, at a cost of two millions in
gold. Here is an opportunity for u Rockefeller or a Carnegie.
Saving two million lives at a cost of a dollar apiece would be both
a comprehensive and an economical operation. Mr.. Carnegie could
better give two millions for a practical and immediate object such
as this than give ten millions in support of the Utopian idea Of
bringing about a permanent worlds peace. Mr.. Rockefeller, in
taking care of this famine district in China and saving two million
lives, could atone for all the sins that are charged up to him in
the minds of the American people.

FISH AND GAME Law 7INKERING.

cTa HE usual large batch of bills relating to fish and game have
Ii been introduced in the Legislature at this session. There is
a patchwork of game laws now on the statute books, the
result of years of legislative tinkering, although since the expose
made by the Hahn committee investigation In 1907 there has been
reform in the administration of the laws under the commission Of
which Benedict Q. Kuser, one of the best instructed men in New
Jersey in fish and game matters, is president. President Kuser is
watchful at Trenson against harmful bills, and his explanations of
their character have availed to prevent bad legislation. But the
State should adopt a permanent code for fish and game to stop
this annual tinkering

eA AKING example from the organized Christian young women
of Newark, the association In Trenton will on Monday begin
a two weeks campaign to raise the sum Of at least ten
thousand dollars for similar purposes. The Newark association,
in its campaign for a fund twenty-five times larger, has obtained
$152969 and will have a week in which to raise the balance. Sue
cess seems now assured. There are other cities in New Jersey In
which there are many working girls without home ties and earning
Il small wage, and one great effect of the success of the fund now
being raised in this city will be to stimulate effort in other cities
Of the State in behalf Of this class of workers. So the good that
will have been accomplished will not be confined to Newark. The
people of the whole State are watching the accumulations of this
fund with sympathetic interest, and there can be no doubt that in
the near future working girls homes will be established in all the
large cities Of New Jersey.
