BARKER ASSUMES DUTIES
Former Chief Justice Barker at
tended a banquet at Lexington last
week on the eve of assuming his
duties as President of the State Uni
versity. Governor Wilson and others
made addresses and President Barker
responded. Many fluctuations were
exchanged and the hopes of those
who are interested in the University
run high for the new administration.
MAY YET CALL PRIMARY
1t is known that the action of the
Democratic Executive committee,
which a few weeks ago decided upon
primary for the selection of can
didates for state offices but at the
same time voted for a convention TO
nominate the party's candidate for
the United States Senate, has met
with a good deal of opposition, this
inconsistency not being easily defend
cd. It is rumored now that the conf
mittee may reverse itself and vote 70
include the senatorial primary in the
primarily for state officers.
SQUATTERS WIN
A recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court will bring Joy
into many mountain homes. II is the
case carried up from the Court of
Appeals from Kentucky which was in
stituted to test the titles of certain
coal and land companies to large
tracts of land which depended large
" upon grants made by the Legis-
lature OF Virginia, while Kentucky
was still a county in that state. If
the corporations had won, the numer-
Gus individual claimants to the pro-
perty whose titles had been handed
down from their fathers would have
been dispossessed.
TO LEAVE KENTUCKY
Milton oliver, confessed night
rider and witness against other al
legged Lyon County night riders, who

he gets located in another state.

LATEST FROM OREGON
II may not be said that Oregon does
not believe In the old, but 1t may be
claimed that she believes in trying
the new. Her newest experiment will
be inaugurated next April when Il
vote will be taken in statewide
primary to select nominees for the
Presidency of the United States. Her
present policy is 10 select United
State Senators by a direct vote OF
the people. that vote being obligatory
upon the Legislature. In the case of
the vote for presidential candidates
in the coming primary. the states
electors will only be obligated SO long
as there is a possibility OF the selec-
ton OF their candidates. After that
they may use their discretion. II is
hoped by the promoters of this plan
that II will soon gain such favor
among the other states as to rcle-
gate national conventions TO the past.
Is VENUS INHABITED?
Professor Pickering OF Harvard
University is credited with saying that
there are many physical reasons for
thinking that IL any other planet be-
side the earth is inhabited it is Ven
us, the earth's nearest neighbor. II
Is about the same size and has about
the same gravity as the earth, and
its atmosphere is thought to be of
about the same constituency of the
earth during the carboniferous period
when life on the earth was most pro-
life or at least was characterized
by the huge sizes OF its cIief species.
IL is thought that the life there may
correspond To that of the earth three
hundred thousand years ago.

History of the English Bible
Second Aricle-Tindaes Great Translation Three Cop
Extant-A Martyr.
By Prof. James r. Robertson

in public squares and out of the
six thousand copies only three are
known to exist at the present time.
The new testament was later revis-
cd and republished by Tindale and
the first five books of the old testa-
ment were translated from the He
brew and published.
Scholarly Work
All Of Tindale's work was done IN
the true spirit of scholarship. When
we consider that he had no model or
"forensample" as he called it in
his introduction, we must wonder
at the great accuracy of the work.
The English differs much from the
modern but a large proportion of the
translation has not been altered ma
terially in later versions of the Bible.
In the revisions many of the phrases
of the new testament came into
the form which we recognize in our
later Bibles. In the parable of the
prodigal son, for example, the text
which first read, "Then he remem-
bered himself" was changed to read
Then he came to himself" In the
sermon on the mount the phrase IF
the salt be once unsavory" was
changed to read, "If the salt have
lost her saltness.' Many words
were translated in such a way as TO
arouse the hostility of the existing
church whose organization depended
in large part on the terms used IN
the Latin Vulgate. For example, Tin
dale used the words congregation"
for church; "elder" for priest,
repentance" for penance, "know-
ledge" for confession.
A Crafty Helper
In the preparation of his work
Tindale depended mostly on the
Greek and Latin texts of Erasmus,
but he also used the Vulgate, Wiclif's
translation Of that and the version
of the New Testament put into the
German by Luther. Tindale was aid
ed in his work by William Roy,
Minorite friar, a man whose help
he needed but whom he did not like.
He was described as somewhat
crafty but one to be ruled as
long as he had gotten no money"
Roy was employed to write and help
in the comparison of texts. Tindale suf-
fered all things till the work was
completed and then "bade him fare
well for our two lives and a day
longer"
Tindale was in person a small and
thin man. who lived sparely and stu
died without stint. While in Lon
don it was said of him that he '1iv-

ed like a good priest, studied most
of the day and the night at his book,
and would eat but sodden meat, by
his good will. nor drink but small
beer.'
Tindale's English
The following passage from the
parable of the prodigal son is a good
illustration of the English of the
Tindale New Testament and may be
compared with the similar passage
from the Wiclif Bible given in last
article.
"And he sayde: a certayne man hadde
two sonnes, and the younger of them
sayde TO his father: father give me my
part of the goodies that to me belongeth.
And he divided unto them his substance.
And not longe after the younger some
gaddered all that he had to gadder, and
take his jorney into farre countre and
theare he wasted his goodies with rove
tous living"
Burned at Stake
Tindale was in constant danger
of his life and his work was done in
in the greatest conservation as he
knew what the end must be. Several
times he changed the place of his
abode but was at last treacherously
arrested at Antwerp in Belgium,
confined in prison for many months,
and then strangled and publicly burn
ed as hereto in 1886.
Apostle of England
Because of his character and SER
vice to religion Tindale is entitled
to the name he received of Apostle
of England"
Although his version was opposed,
it wrung from the church the con-
fession that Bible was needed IN
the mother tongue, for Sir Thomas
More, his chief opponent wrote: "to
keep the whole commodity from any
whole people because of harm that
by their own folly and fault may
come to some part, were as though
a lewd (unlearned) surgeon would
cut off the leg by the knee to keep
the toe from the gout, or cut off a
mans head by the shoulders to keep
him from the tooth-ache."

shots were fired and that she tried to
give him some whiskey but did not
succeed in making him swallow it.
There were no witnesses to the

CONSERVATION IS
UPHELD BY j. S.
SUPREME COURT
Decision Ends Legal B attic
Against Forest Reserve
NATION is THE OWN Err
State Laws Conflicting With Govern
ment Rights Declared to BE
Unconstitutional.

Washington. May 2.-The legal bat
tie against the forest reserves of the
West in particular and conservation
by the Federal Government of natural
resources in general was lost yester
day in the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States. That tribunal not only up
held the constitutionality of the es-
Establishment of the vast reserves for
any National and public purpose, but
| 1t settled that the Federal Govern.
ment, and not the States may say
how the reserves shall be used.
The immediate results of the con-
clusion of the court are that Fred
Light, prominent Colorado cattle
man. will remain enjoined from per
hitting his cattle to Craze on the
Holy Cross Forest Reserve in Colora-
do. and that Pierre Mirmaud, j. p.
Carajous, and Antonio linda, Califor-
mia sheep men, must answer to the
Indictment charging them with graz
| ing sheep upon the Sierra Forest Re-
serve without permit, in violation of
Regulation 40 of the Secretary of Ag-
ricuture and the state of 1891.

opinions delivered by Justice Lamar.
The entire court concurred. The
basic principle upon which Justice La
mar proceeded was that "the Nation
is an owner and has made Congress
the principal agent 10 dispose of its
property"
In the California case Justice Lamar
upheld the rules which the Secretary
Of Agriculture had promulgated for
the control of the reserves. He said
that the violation of reasonable rules
Regulating the use and occupancy of
the property Is made crime, not by
the Secretary of Agriculture but by
Congress"
The Government asserted that when
Light turned his cattle on to his ranch
adjoining the forest reserve, they fol
lowed well-defined cattle trails direct
lily to the reserve, where there existed
superior grass and water supply. Such
a practice, II was contended, was tan
tamount in law TO Light driving the
cattle on to the reserve.
The defense pointed out that the re-
serve had not been fenced by the Gov
/ anu q AOAOAoNO ia RhOfiN
ed that no person should recover dam
ages for trespass unless land was
fenced. The Government retorted that
the fence law applied only to indiyidu-
ais, and not to the United States, and
ii it was meant to apply to the United
States, it was unconstitutional.
so widespread was the interest in
the case and so vital the questions in
volved that Colorado interviewed, At
ltorney General Barnett assisting Light
in fighting the Federal Government.
He argued that no provision OF the
Constitution empowered the Federal
Government to conserve the National
resources" by providing for a continu-
ling timber supply, regulating the flow
of streams, and preserving power sites
from being monopolized. He urged
that the withdrawal of such large
tracts of land, in this instance one
fifth of the entire area of Colorado,
was the denial of equality with the
older States, which had been allowed
to exercise dominion over all the terri
tory within their boundaries.

TO $4,000 EACH
Burns Men Say They Have
Caught 20 AssembIymen
ALL EAGER FOR THE MONEY
Detective Says II Would Take Week
To Tell All of the Crooked
Deals.

Columbus, Ohio, May 2.-The arrest
of three Burns detectives on the
charge of bribery at the instance of
Representative George B. Nye, is ex-
pected to lead to the most thorough
and far-reaching investigation of legis-
latiye bribery in the history of the
Ohio Legislature The State House
was shaken to its foundations by the
arrest OF the detectives and the an
nouncement that the Burns operatives
had been at work for more than
three weeks on members of the Gen
eral Assembly and that the hour was
at hand for the presentation to the
Grand Jury of the proof the detec-
tiyes had gathered.
1--WE have twenty members of the
Legislature caught in this scandal, /"
said Detective Hanson yesterday If
had been here a week longer |
would have run out of money, they
were so eager for it. II will take us
week to tell all we have found out,
and you mark my words that we have
the proofs sufficient to convice the
men accused"
Subpoenas were sworn out yester-
day to two-thirds of the members of
the Legislature TO appear and testify
at the hearing before the grand jury.
Many members of the House and
Senate were yesterday demanding a
| legislative investigation of the bribery
charges and this. too, in the face OF
protests from Gov. Harmon, Lieut.
Gov. Nichols, Attorney General Hogan
and Prosecutor Turner, who declare
that legislative investigation will
give the immunity bath to all legisla
tors who might be implicated Many
Legislators whose records are above
suspicion are insisting that If legis
latiye investigating committee is nam
ed some way should be devised to pre-
vent legislators who testify before II
from obtaining immunity from prose
cution. This can be done only by re
pealing a section of the statutes which
now grants immunity in such cases.
Evidence already in the hands OF
Prosecutor Turner shows that within
the last week both Senators and Rep
/ itoNutdNiNCS nave inOnty "
work for corporation legislation The
amounts accepted by Legislators, &C
cording to the Prosecutors evidence
ranged from 5000 to $500 These
amounts, in some cases, were taken
merely as advance payments on much
larger sums which we're promised in
the event the legislation in question
passed, The highest amount named
in the negotiations for the passage OF
any one bill was $4,000.
The detectives say they have the
evidence which will convict more than
twenty legislators. They say they
bribed Senator Isaac Z. Huffman OF
Butler County. Senator Cetone OF
Montgomery County, and Senator l.
r. Andrews of Lawrence County, and
that Rodney Diegle, Sergeant at Arms
of the Senate, acted as a go-between
for them, Senator Cetone, though q
Democrat has been the leader in the
opposition to Gov. Harmon, and was
one of Edward Hanley's main sup
porters in the contest for United
States Senator which resulted in the
election of Atlee Pomerene.

senate is the public's only chance to
be heard, and as it very evidently Is in
no hurry it is likely to consume at
least two weeks in public hearings be-
fore reporting the bill. Finally it
will be reported without recommends
ton. Probably there is a majority of
the committee opposed to the bill,
but they will avoid any committee
squabble by putting it up to the SEN
ate without argument for or against.
In the previous list of Senator
Pages committee assignments it may
be added that besides his membership
of the committee on printing he is al
so designated as member of the
Joint printing committee of the two
houses, and is likewise named as a
member of the joint commission to
investigate conditions in the govern
ment printing Office and allied branch
les of this government industry. This
commission is likely to go into an ex-
haustiye probing of the whole subject,
extending over months, which assur-
es good bit of extra hard work for
its members.

ter at the banquet ending the series OF
