nesses and figures the inadvisability OF
the installation of power presses.
..Counterfeiting has been reduced to q
minimum on account of the fine lines
which it is possible to produce on notes
by hand-pressmen," Mr.. Foster contin-
ued. ''but it will surely become rampant
IL the work is given over to power
presses, which are not adapted to any
degree of delicacy."
Charles T. Smith. editor of the Plate
Printer, and Z. j. Ryan. of the Central
Labor Union. said last night that graVer
reasons than selfish interests dictated
opposition to power presses.
Mr.. Smith said that these presses had
been found a failure for governmental
work twenty-five years ago. and that
they had been little improved since then.
He said he could prove that the power
presses have not been perfected to that
high degree where they could be COM
pared to the hand press.
Mr. Ryan said that the plate printer
was not afraid of his argument being
turned down if he were only given an
opportunity to convince; but that he did
not have at his command the means af-
forded to the advocates of the power
press.
Applies to the G. p. o.
In regard to that section of the same
bill which applies to the Government
Printing Office, and which provides that
the Public Printer will have no authority
to pay an employe more than 5000 per
annum no expressions. one way or the
other. could be obtained last night.
1t was pointed out that there are a
score or more heads of departments and
divisions in the printing office who now
| receive upwards of 5000 per annum and
more. VINO are unprovided for in the pro-
posed law
The superintendent of works. his as
sistant, and the men who are RESPONSE
bic for the turning out of the vast num-
Der of pamphlets and periodicals.. and
who now receive more than the amount
the Public Printer will be allowed to
pay, according to the new bill, will be
left in the cold.
Just what it is proposed to do with
these high-salaried positions is not
known unless provision will he made
to cover this phase in the sundry civil
appropriations.

WISDOM OF GREEKS
Pastor Woodrow Begins New
Series of Sermons.

Rev. Samuel II. Woodrow, pastor of
First Congregational Church. yesterday
morning opened new series of four ser
mons. He spoke on Jesus. the fulfill
ment of Greek wisdom
I'm studying very carefully the book
Of colossians" said DR.. Woodrow, Il
was struck with the thought brought out
il So many ways of the headship of
Jesus. THAT in all things ye might have
the pre-eminence. For it pleased the
Father that in Him should all fulIness
dwell And ye are complete in Him who
Is the head of all principality and power"
ProtaGoras, who lived All Il. G., may
serve as starting point. His philosophy
Is summed up in the phase. Man is the
measure of all things All speculations
must De in forms of human thought, and
that thought measures the reality for
the individual. His aim was tc teach
men now to manage their domestic al
iairs and to care for the affairs Of state
IN snort. To make them good citizens.
But his philosophy had the opposite ef-
feet.
"Measure OF All Things"
The next great thinksr was Plato, 42T
b. c. The heart of his philosophy is
measure of all things To his mind it
Wcs very clear that every man could no,
be the judge of what WAS right and true
and beautiful.
Aristotle. 2Si Z. c, furnishes us the
next step. His famous dictum was The
perfect man is the perfect measure of
all things He agreed with Plato that
truth and right and beauty were eternal
In God. but he went back to Protagoras.
that after all man must be the measure
of all things.
THE question then arose where is the
perfect man? When an answer is sought
10 this question one must leave the realm
Of philosophy for that of history Philos-
ophy can teach what the perfect man
ought To be-. but it cannot furnish him
He must live as Il real. historic person.
In vain they searched the ancient civiIiZa-
ton and even the Hebrew scripture with
out finding him.
Furnished Highest Thought,
You will see. then, how Jesus fur
nished the fulfilment of the highest
thought of this great people when He
said that the things that He had seen
with the Father We're the things that He
was preaching unto them that they could
say: Yes: Plato told US that the man who
was .'t' pufeS' anu DeSt could give us
the divine outlook.
When ii was declared that Jesus was
without sin. they could answer: Yes:
Aristotle told US that the perfect man,
when he was found, would be the meas
ure of all things. What wonder. then
that the Greeks came up to the feast saw
ing: 'Sirs, We would see Jesus What
wonder that so many of them in th,.
earl ages believed on him. The true.
the right, the perfect. and the good are
eternal and universal in God. but in
Christ they have been made concrete and
real for the apprehension of men"

JUDICIAL BRAKES
PUT ON DEBT CASE
Supreme Court Declines te
Grant Motion to Accelerate
Action.
Especial to The Times Dispatch!

lSpeCldl " DiSpoiSHJ
Washington, d. c.. october 30.-In
an opinion of the Unitel States SUI
preme Court. rendered to-day by JUS
tice Holmes. in the Virginia debt case,
the motion of Attorney-GcneralS Samuel
w. williams, OF Virginia, to determine
all questions left open by the decision
of last spring, and for rehearing was
denied.
After rec!ting the unsuccessful eff
forts of the Virginia Debt Commission
to have the Legislature of West Viz
ginia take action in the matter and
pay West Virginia's part of the debt.
and after reviewing the case generally.
Justice Holmes said:
The Commonwealth of Virginia
concludes from these facts mot having
been able to get the Legislature OF
West Virginia to act in the matter)
that there Is no likelihood of a con-
ference with any satisfactory result.
with regard to the doubt implied
By the Governor of West Virginia
whether II is now incumbent upon that
State to take the initiative. and that
suggested by its Attorney General
whether the Virginia Debt Commission
has the necessary power. we are OF
opinion that neither of them furnish q
Just ground OF delay. The conference
suggested by the court is a conference
the institution of suit has taken the
proper steps OH behalf of the plaintiff,
and 1t is for defendant to say whether
IL will leave the court to enter a de-
cree irrespective of its assent or Will
try to reach a result that tho court
will accept.
The conference is no: for an In
dependent compromise out of court.
but an attempt to settle on decree.
The provision as TO negotiations in the
Virginia resolutions preceding the
statute authorizing the suit refers, we
presume to settlement out of court,
and has nothing to do with the con-
duct of the cause. If the parties in
charge OF the suit consent, this court
is not likely to inquire very curiously
into questions OF power, If, on Its part,
1t is satisfied to have consented to u
proper decree.
"A question like the present should
be disposed of without undue delay,
But II State cannot be expected to
move with the celebrity of private
business man 1t Is enough If 1t pro-
coed in the language of English chan
Gerry, with all deliberate speed. Assum-
ing as we do, that the Attorney Gen
eral is correct in saying that only the
LEGISLATURE of the defendant State can
act. we are t opinion that the time
has not come for granting the present
motion. Ii the authorities of West
Virginia see At to await the regular
session of the Legislature. that fact is
not sufficient to prove that when the
voice of the state is heard 1t will pro-
claim Willingness to make rational
Offer for peace"
From this decision 1t will be seen
that the judicial brakes have been ap-
piled TO any further efforts that the
state of Virginia or the Virginia Debt
Commission may make In tho matter
until after the next regular meeting
of the West Virginia Legislature.
