MORALIZES ON ENGLISH BIBLE
Premier Asquith Makes Plea for Amer.
lean Pact.

London.-At a great meeting of
churchmen and statesmen in Albert
Hall, to celebrate the tercentenary of
the revision of the English translation
of the Bible by a commission which
completed the so-called King James
version in 1911, Premier Asquith and
Whitelaw Reid, the American ambas-
sador, who were the principal speakers,
took advantage of the opportunity to
eulogise the arbitration movement.
In his address Mr.. Asquith said:
The English Bible belongs not only
to the subjects of King George, but to
the whole English-speaking world. One
of the truths which has been slowly
realized and which now / believe is
firmly rooted in the faith of Christian
men and women on both sides of the
Atlantic is that war between English
speaking people would not only be a
crime against civilization, but an I'M
f%orgiyable breach of these few COM
mandments which are enshrined in the
New Testament on which both nations
have been bred.
'.There surely could not be a more
worthy, a more appropriate, a more
splendid monument of this tercentenary
year than hat it should witness the
sealing of a solemn pact between us,
which would put al end ono and for
all to the hideous and nnthinkable pos
sibilities of fratricidal strife"

There is, we must admit, today no

Nobody can tell how the wonders OF

Albany, n. Y.-Five million ddl1ars
probably could repair the damage done
fire in the state capitol Wednesday,
out money can not restore the historical
records which were the pride of its state
library. After examining the exterior
walls with a transit, State Architect
Ware declared that the massive pile of
granite was as plumb and true as ever.
The flames licked up the state library,
the court of claims, the assembly libra
ry and document rooms, most of the
offices of the excise and the quarters
water and smoke took up the work
that the flames laid down and the dam
age from this cause extends to every
part of the building.
The state library, containing 100000
volumes, among them the most valu-
able genealogical works in the United
States, together with relics, priceless
documents, some Of them dating back to
1776 and irreplacable.
The assembly and senate Libraries,
stored with thousands of volumes OF
law and code books, also a number Of
documents and manuscripts that can
never be replaced.
The capitol, a gigantic structure of
white granite with red capped towers,
which cost $27,00o,000, stands perched
upon the highest of the several hills
upon which the city of Albany is built.
1t is 800 feet north and south by 400
feet east and west and covers three
acres.
The first stone in the foundation was
laid July Z, 1860. 1t was first occupied
by the legislature or Jan. Z, 1879.
Writers upon architecture say that the
white building with its towers reminds
them of the famous TAI Malal in In
dia. Others call it a superb reflection
of French architecture.
Militia men were pressed into service
to remove the records, relics and flags
from the Acknowledgements office and
in policing the fire lines.

PETTY SINS THAT WORRY
Those We Are Inclined to Famper
and Stroke the Hard Ones to
Get Rid OF.

What is your pet sin, and is 1t a
comfortable one to live with? We
are not speaking of the terrible sins
of life, for they are at once too big
ands too ferocious for even the most
daring to coddle. Their function is to
ravage and devastate. 1t is the petty
sin we are inclined to pamper and
stroke, which we find difficult to rid
ourselves of.
Does it not, like BUR pet economy.
cost us more than It is worth? Does
insincerity. or meanness, or any really
petty trait pay one to give it house
room? If they made comfortable or
entertaining guests, then one could
understand the tolerance with which
many people house them. but they are
neither.
They are the kind of guests thai,
once allowed YOU door, take posses
sion of your house. You cannot %
fine them to a small back room, where
no one will see them, for they insist
upon forcing themselves into every
situation, and no crack or corner II
free from their hateful presence.
The longer you allow them to stay
the more loath they are to depart. To
coddle them is fatal. The only way
to treat them is to never let them get
a foothold in your house, OF if they
succeed in establishing themselves to
turn than out the moment you discov-
er them.
The question Is, does 1t pay to have
guests SO Objectionable staying In
ones house? Is it not really a terri
BILE nuisance to be ashamed of them.
yet continue to have them about? And.
is 1t not embarrassing to have insin-
cerity show her Sinking face when
truth is calling on one, or to have
generosity knocks at ones door?
And they are as expensive as they
are ill-mannered, these troublesome
guests. They demand all sorts OF
things. One is constantly giving in
to them. They are eve satisfied.
So why does one ever take them un-
der ones roof at all?
Insincerity Is famous for complicat-
ing ones life and landing one in en-
~barrassing situations, while meanness
never makes a friend and is always
disagreeable. 1t is better for a girl
to turn a deaf ear to all their ad-
vances
They will seek In a hundred differ
ent way to enter your house, but
just remember this, that if o have
them then truth, generosity, sweet
ness and joy will refuse to visit you

More Feminine Frankness.

Marie Hay (Baroness Hindenburg).
a young Scotch woman of two great
historic families, whose childhood was
one of the most extraordinary and
tragic with which a future writer of
fiction was ever blessed, and an ex-
tensive knowledge Of the world, has
chosen to begin her literary career
with the historical novel, or, to be
more accurate, the fictional biogra.
ply; but beyond accepting the form
she adheres to none of the popular
recipes.
With the curious attitude to life
that all Americans who have lived in
England have observed in men and
women Of her rank, she assumes that,
like the rest of the privileged class.
she dwells in a separate and rarefed
stratum. No laws exist for her! II
she has anything to say she says 1t,
and results are not even considered.
Being a consummate woman OF the
world, however, she exercises this pre-
rogative and causes her diplomatic
husband no embarrassment. 1t is all
a question of taste, and probably 1t IS
only in women of the world that taste
Is unerring.-North American Review

Observation-Disclosures clemency will
not be extended at present to Charles w.
Morse, the New York banker, and John
r. Walsh, the Chicago banker, who are
serving fifteen and five-year sentences,
respectively, in the federal peniten-
~tiaries. the former at Atlanta and the
latter at Leavenworth. The president
has had before him for several weeks
applications for c%lemency in both cases,
and the department OF justice has made
an exhaustive investigation into the EVIL
dence presented at the trials OF the two
bankers and inquired into their physical
condition.
From sources close to President Taft,
it was learned that he will follow the
recommendations of Attorney-General
Wickersham. 1t is understood that MIR.
Wickersham recommended that mas
much as Walsh will be paroled under
the new federal law next September,
Justice would better be served if execu-
tive clemency were not extended to him.
In the case of Morse, it is understood
that the encouragement was averse to
any immediate relief, but recommended
that if there was to be a communication,
it should be such as to make the SEN
tence expire in five years. In that event
Morse would be released after serving
three years and eight months, which in
cludes the usual allowance for good be-
havior. Morse began serving his SEN
tence in January, 1910, and Walsh two
months later.

Albany, N. ~Y.-Supreme Court Justice
James Aloysius O'Gorman, Democrat, of

after the most protracted struggle over
this position ever held in the Empire
state. On the final ballot, the sixty
fourth, he received liz votes to 80 cast
for Chalncey NJ. Depew, whose term ex-
PRED March 4.
At the close of a day of almost con-
~tinuous negotiations, the insurgents ca
pitulated and Justice O'Gorman was
elected. A few minutes before the bal
lot was cast Justice O'Gorman's resig-
nation from the bench was filed at the
office of the secretary of state, as a con-
stitutional provision would have prohib-
tied his election while holding the office
of justice of the supreme court.
Wild applause marked the end of the
long contest, and the legislature adopted
a resolution a%djourning until April II.
Gov. Dix expressed qualification at the
result.
"The state of New York" he said, "has
elected Tor it's representative in the fed

EDWARD HINES
PRAISES LORIMER
SOUTHERN LUMBERMEN INTER
ESTED IN TAFT'S HENCHMEN.
Worked to Further His Election-Be-
lieved There Was No Position Too
Great for Lorimer

Springfield, Hl.-William Lorimer was
elected to the United States senate from
Illinois largely because of the influence
of Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania and
Aldrich of Rhode Island eXerted, avowed-
~ in behalf of President Taft, through
Edward Hines, well-known lumberman,
who has extensive interests in Missis-
sippi.
This, at least, was the sworn testi-
mony Of Mr.. Hines before the Helm
committee of the state senate.
Mr.. Hines denied comprehensively and
categoricaliy any knowledge of the use
of money i'll connection with the Lorimer
election, either before or after it took
place but he related freely and in de-
tail the part played by him at the in
stance of Senator Aldrich in bringing
about the election of his friend.
To this apparent freedom of discus
sion, however, there was a slight excep-
ton. Mr.. Hines could not recall that
the senator from Rhode Island had any
other reason for his selection of MIR.
Lorimer as his candidate in Illinois,
other than that he might 'harmonize"
the various Republican factions.
Mr.. Hines stated that he had spent
much of his time for the last six
years seeking to have Mr.. Lorimer
elected selatosf that he had talked to
almost every member of the house and
senate IN his behalf during the dead
lock- and that he had made special
trips to the ZONES Of legislators in
various parts a the state ON the same
mission, but III GOULD not remember any
particular person TO whom he had
talked, nor having talked to any of
them in other than general terms about
the qualifications" of Mr.. Lorimer for
the job.
That Mr.. Hines thought of "these
qualifications" may be gathered from
these excerpts from his testimony:
ITO my mind he is the greatest man
since the time of Christ"
Il believe that no question is too
great for him.
He is the greatest man that ever
lived, both morally and otherwise"
Mr.. Hines mind, however, was a
blank as to the names of the legisla-
tors with whom he had argued in Mr..
Lorimer's behalf and the arguments he
had used.
