THE DAKOTA DAYLIGHT BILL.
Saloon Measure Agreed to Leave
Doors Open Till 9 p. m.

Pierre. S. d., Feb. "A daylight sa-
loon measure which extends to open
provision into the night or until 8
o'clock, is what was agreed to by the
house by vote heavy enough to re-
tain the emergency provision and ex-
empt the law from the referendum in
case the senate accepts its provisions.
The county option feature of the bill
was easily eliminated, but was attend
ed by a considerable quantity of ora
torical fireworks. 1t is understood
that the saloon interests will concen-
trate influence on the senate and un.
dertake to defeat the measure which
is Championed by the temperance
forces.

MAY DEFEAT INITIATIVE.
Every Interest in the State Trying to
Boost Percentage for Petition.

Lincoln, Feb. 2.-Nebraska legislat-
ors believe in direct legislation in
theory almost to man, but when it
comes to presenting that theory in
practice, many show desire to kick
over the traces.
Discussion of the Hatfield initiative
and referendum bill was scheduled,
but postponed until Friday, perhaps
longer, by an agreement reached in a
democratic caucus.
The democrats, especially those con.
nected more or less closely with the
liquor and other interests, are opposed
10 granting the people too much pow
er. They do not believe voters should
have the power to initiate legislation
too easily.
They assert they are fearful lest
voters will have to work too hard in
the booths, voting on laws they may
wish to see adopted in the state.
Those Legislators believe voters should
depend on the legislature to determine
the necessary laws.

ROBIN VERDICT DENOUNCED
Jerome Says Judge Who Gave De.
cision is "Half Baked"

New York, Feb. 2.-The verdict of
a jury which declared Joseph G.. Rob-
in, the indicted banker, as sane, was
denounced as an insult to the profes.
sional alienists at meeting of the
section of neurology and psychiatry
at the academy of medicine. William
Traverse Jerome, who represented
the alienists their profession as well
as his had been insulted.
He proposed that if a committee of
the Academy of Medicine would ap-
point a committee of alienlsts who
should find Robin sane, he would pos.
itively enter a plea of guilty to the
indictments in behalf of his client and
interpose no defense. The Times
quotes Mr.. Jerome as addressing the
meeting in part as follows:
Your profession has been insulted
by this half-baked Judge who holds Of
flee by the grace of Charlie Murphy,
and so has mine. love my profession
and you love yours, and we will not
stand to have them dragged into the
mire. The proceeding was the most
ridiculous and absorbed on record, but
the time has not come when an insane
man can be tried for an alleged crime
in this state"
The meeting decided to appoint
committee to draft resolutions de-
nouncing the verdict and to decide
what further action should be taken.
The jury which found Robin sane did
so contrary to the testimony of six
professional alienists. Judge Edward
Swami is the justice referred to.

BY ID. V. FRANCIS

New York, March 16.-(Special )-I have written on more than one occa- sion of the activity among Christian laymen, for the spread of the gospel throughout the world. The same ac- tivity is manifesting itself for a still greater work, the revivifying of the church in this country a revival of the old fashioned gospel religion, which VIII make of the church the living, vital force in the life of the nation it once was and still should be.
 campaign will be waged through out the country within the next IS months the influence of which it would be hard to over estimate Sixty of the one hundred millions of Americans and Canadians belong to no churches, and even more, say the promoters of this campaign. fail to take real part in re- ligion. The alarming prevalence of di- vorce, jobbery in affairs of business and labor, with attendant strikes cor ruption in politics-these and other Widespread sins cry for cure. This cure, say these promoters, lies in personal religion.
 Leaders in this new campaign are the Young Mems Christian assocat ton. the International Sunday School asso- citation and the brothe rhoods. The asso- citations are well known, but in this case details are in the hands of the re-
 
 committed The Sunday School asso- citation is the one that issues the in ternational or uniform lessons that are studied by fifteen to seventeen millions of boys and girls each week. The brotherhoods began with that of St Andrew, but have extended now to Congressional Presbyterian Presbyte- rians, Meth odists, Disciples Baptists and most religious bodies small as we'll es large. Some of them limit their aims to spiritual work few include social work and missions Hundreds of thousands of men belong to these or ganizationz.
 Men of large affairs, all laymen, are in charge of this unique campaign. President Cannon of the Fourth Ma tional bank, New York, former Mayor Beardsley of Kansas City, R. A. Long, 1umberman of the same city; President English of the Civic Federation of Pittsburg; William J. Bryan, Marion Lawrence, F. W. Parker of Chicago, Judge Colt, Charles T. Thompson of Minneapolis and Fred B. Smith of the International Young Mems Christian Association. There are 90 of such men, foremost in business and the profess eions. often men of wealth, who give themselves as well as their money;
