SYSTEM IS UNJUST,
BOURNE DECLARES
Demands that State Lines Be
Eliminated.

Senator Jonathan Bourne, president of
the Progressive Republican League, yes
terday denounced the present plan of
apportionment of delegates to the Re-
publican national convention as unjust
and un-American."
Referring to the fact that five States
Oregon, North Dakota, Nebraska, New
Jersey. and Wisconsin-have enacted l
Presidential preference law, providing
for primaries and the instruction of ma
tional delegates. Senator Bourne says
these States will have but one delegate
for every 5000 to 1900 votes cast for
Taft and Sherman at the last Presi-
dental election, while South Carolina
will have one for every 900 votes East.
Mr.. Bourne demands that State lines be
eliminated, and that delegates be apoor-
toned on a basis OF equality, making q
certain number of Republican votes the
unit. He says that the South is domi-
mated by a Federal machine, and that
through the unequal representation,
which amounts TO tyranny" the ma
chine controls the nomination.
Senator Bourne has figured out some
Of the inequalities that result from the
present system. He finds that $50 Re
in the convention as 10000 Republicans in
Colorado, while 11,0O0 Indiana RepublI-
cans count no more than AS Louisiana
Republicans. Mississippi Republicans get
as much representation for 21S Taft
votes cast in 1908 as Michigan does for
1900, while Ohio gets no more repre-
sentation for 1900 votes for her favorite
son than South Carolina does fer 90
votes cast for Taft and Sherman in 1865.

who has directed the suspension of fur
ther publication OF his Boston Sunday
Journal, thus explains why he found 1t
impossible to place successfully 1-cent
Sunday morning paper in competition
with scent Sunday morning papers in
Boston:
The reason why the experiment has
failed is because II is impossible TO
place a l-cent Sunday paper in the field
with scent Sunday papers in Boston. In
addition to the Boston papers, there are
the scent Sunday New York papers to
compete with. all OF which reach Boston
before the average reader is out OF his
bed.
LAS scent Sunday paper, the Journal
would have had no chance whatever in
a field so well covered. AS a 1-cent
proposition there was a possibility Of
success. The paper attained a great deal
OF popularity during the eighteen months
OF its existence, and might have been sue
cessful in the end but for the throttling
II received from the newsdealers.
LAS It was, the paper built up consider
able circulation, but not enough to war
rant US continuing our fight against hos
tile newsdealers. The experiment has
demonstrated that 1-cent Sunday morn
ing newspaper can successfully compete

CHURCH Is UNABLE
TO OBTAIN PASTOR
Lutheran Pulpit Untitled by
Permanent Minister.

Nearly four months ago the Rev. DR..
Lloyd C. Douglas resigned as pastor Of
Luther Place Memorial Church, and de-
spite efforts of the church council to
fill the vacancy, no one has yet been
selected. Several well-known Lutheran
ministers have preached at various times
during the period since DR.. Douglas left,
but the candidate that pleased the pow
erful church council failed to win over
the congregation.
Consequently the pulpit of the largest
church OF that denomination in the
South is going begging. The salary is
$500 a year, an unusual amount even
in wealthy congregations. Not a mem
ber Of the executive body will say why
this condition exists. except that I'VE
are in no hurry to supply the pulpit, as
we want to be sure and get a man who
will carry on the work OF this church
properly"
1t is no secret in the congregation
that a certain element is in favor of
a progressive minister, while the larger
and dominating portion is strong for a
man who will preach In the conservative
way.
