Des Moines Register and Leader A good
many women are indignant, very indignant,
because Bishop William Croswell Doane OF
Albany, n. ", refused to permit the
woman president Of the National Purity
league to speak at "A convention Of that
organization which was to have been held
in the cathedral over which he rules. They
had better save their tempers and dispose
tions and smile because the occasion is
one for indugent smiles rather than in
dignation. Bishop Doane's attitude is so
intolerant and inconsistent that It is anus
ing. In his church. as well as every other
Christian church, the women are the main
stay. They outnumber the men in menu
bership. and they outweigh them In influ-
oncc in the real worliof the church. For
years the church has been relying chiefly
upon women TO bear the real burden Of
the great activities of the church-its mis-
sions, its Sunday school work its social
work. To deny TO women the right to
stand on a church platform and deliver
an address in bcsalf of some Of the great
things they are doing along moral lines
merely because they are women-females-
is so inconsistent that it is nothing short

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.
Features of the Decision of the New
York Court of Appeals.


Washington Herald.
The New York court of appeals has set
aside as invalid the employers liability act
which was modelled upon the English
workmens compensation act. In England
and some other countries with unwritten
constitutions there is no restriction upon
the legislative power, and the constitutions
are what parliamentary bodies make them.
In this country of written constitution this
power is limited. The court refrains from
passing upon the desrability of the law,
though 1t comedies that reform is a con-
summation devoutly to be wished. 1t holds
the act in conflict with the declaration of
both federal and state constitutions
against the taking of property without due
process of law.
The court says the right of property
rests, not upon philosophical or scientific
speculations, nor upon the commendable
impulses Of benevolence or charity, nor
yet upon the dictates of natural justice
The right has its foundation in the funda-
mental law. which legislatures cannot
change. The conclusion is that the inn
posing of a liability upon an employer of
labor to part with property to another
when he has violated no statute, broken
no contract and been guilty of no wrong
is taking of property without due process
of law, not permitted by our federal and
state constitutions.
In some constitutional monarchies work
ing men are frequently treated as a de-
pendent class under the special care OF
the government Here there is an aversion
to such distinction. A workman is sup
posed to choose his own occupation, and
II 1t is attended by special risks he receives
higher pay as an insurance against those
risks; and this insurance may be increased
by voluntary arrangement. If the en-
ployer, by his act or negligence, is respon-
sible for the injury, he is made to pay,
but not otherwise. When he rs not liable
other means must be found for relieving

Systematic Advertising an Means

The Omaha Bee recently published an
interview with Mr.. Wilbur Walker Ala
media, Cal, concerning the advertising
methods Of his state. Mr.. Walker SAYS
California is probably the only state in
the union having an organized scheme
Of publicity and it has brought wonderful
returns during the ten years 1t has been
in existence, Under the present law
every county In the state is authorized by
legislative act to spend not to exceed $40, 900
annually for advertising. The counties
that have taken advantage of the publicity
have all prospered II is unnecessary 10
praise the advertising procedure of Cali
fornia in the state OF Iowa, as Iowa has
lost more people lured by the advertising
of California than any other state in the
union and unless Iowa does some adver-
Using on its own account, through its state
government, 1t will continue to lose.
The people OF Iowa are ignorant of their
own greatness and as a state we are lack

Of education will build up a loyalty 10 this
state that 1t so richly deserves. The Iegis.

Church Aiding in Peace.

Under the auspices of the National
Council of Free Churches Of England
and the Federal Council OF Churches
in the United States a very Temarka-
BILE peace campaign has been arranged.
The Inspiration comes from the recent
proposal of Sir Edward Gray in the
British Parliament of a treaty with
the United States to forever bind
these nations to engage no more in
war with each other. The plan of the
churches is to hold simultaneous
demonstrations in behalf of world
peace, and of this compact in particu-
lar, which has been received in the
United States with the same spirit OF
cordial enthusiasm in which it came
from England. The day on which
these meetings are to be held is yet
TO be named, but It should be a red,
letter day in the great movement foI
universal arbitration.
The church as an institution should
take a leading part in this propa.
ganda, for 1t stands as the representa-
tive on earth OF the Prince OF Peace
II is to it's credit that it has grasped
the bigness OF this proposition. Il Ii

For dreamer lives forever,
And toier dies in day.

For a dreamer lives forever,

For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives OF the poor
Oh, little hands too skillful
And the child-mind choked with weeds
The daughters heart grown wilful,
And the fathers heart that bleeds!
No. no! from the streets rude hustle
From trophies of mart and stage,

And the meadows kindly page

For a dreamer lives forever,

Tsroentenary Of King Jame., BLDG.

While celebrating the three hun.
dredth anniversary Of the King James
Bible, which still stands supreme as
English prose classic, It may not be
amiss to quote what Huxley said of
this book:
Consider the great historical fact that
for three centuries this book has beer
woven into the life OF all that Is best and
noblest in English history, that IT has be-
come the national epic Of Britain and Is
as familiar to noble and simple. from
John-o' Greats House to Lands End, a.
Dante and Tasso once were TO the 1tal-
ians; that It Is written In the purest and
nobcst English, and abounds in exquisite
beauties Of pure literary formi and finally
that it forbids the veriest hind who never
left his village to be ignorant Of the ex-
istence Of other countries and other civ
ilzations, and Of great past stretching
back to the furthest limits Of the Oldest
civilizations Of the world
What is called the Revised Version
of the King James Bible may, as
scholars concede, give a more direct
and accurate translation of the orig
inal languages employed by the au-
thors of this book, and it will un-
doubtedly hdld it's place in the realm
of authorization, but it's popularity
can never change the place in the his
tory of literature and religion which
the old reversion has occupied.
But in tercentenary celebration the
minds of the people will be drawn
more to the Bible than to any version
of it. 1t is the book, itself, as the
inspired word of God, that has come
down through the centuries with all
it's vicissitudes of faith and skepticism
of dogma and doctrine, preserving for
the world the matchless power in
moulding the thought and conduct of
men. Tyndale, the father of the
open" Bible, was burned at the stake
and his work destroyed. But Phoenix
like, it rose from it's ashes and today
great publishing houses are taxed to
supply demands for the book, which
is read wherever men read, and read
with far more serious thought and in
quiry than in days gone by.
The American Bible society shows
that it issued 100000 copies of the
Bible last year. In China alone $780,
Az copies were issued. Islamism
some writer's say, is spreading in cen
trail Africa hut Tslamism Confucian-
ism and all kindred religions have not
been able to stop or stay the coming
of the Bible into the darkest recesses
of the pagan world, and where it has
taken hold it has never yet let 60
These 800 years of the life of the
King James Bible have brought more
liberty and enlightenment than any
similar period of the worlds history
and the worlds evangelization is only
well begun.
