THE Presbyterian Ministers AS

twill discredit the State and be a
disgrace to the nation if it is ac-
cepted," says one of the resolu-
tions. Well, it's all owing to the
viewpoint. Time was when the

THE New Orleans Picayune, in
criticising the Arizona constitu-
ton, attacks the recall, especially
as applied to judicial officers. The
Picayune says: can elective judi
ciary is about the limit of the con-
cessions that it is safe to make to
popular opinion" "Concession"
that is good. Who is this supe-
rlor person who is making such
concessions as are safe TO popular
,opinion?" One might suppose US
living under a monarchy and Sc
curing such concessions as the
king felt it safe to grant. The
Picayune uses the language of the
aristocratic and plutocratic crowd
which fears popular opinion
and steadfastly believes that UNI
popular opinion should control.
The recall is feared by such be-
cause 1t is democratic and increas-
es the power Of the people.-Tht

SAYS DR.. Hyman Cohen, "The
days of brutally whipping children
are gone. We are now refined and
whip their brains to DEATH" He
speaks truly, so far as he goes, but
stops short of the whole truth.
Not only is the unmatured brain
whipped to a FRAGILE, but the ten
der nerves and the bouyant child
spirit are harried and dwarfed. If
l could have it my way, no child
under ten years would be cooped
up in the school-room, his vitality
weakened and his sensitive eye
nerves strained to the impairment
of his vision. 0 Educa ton! what

On Wednesday evening the ad-
vertisement was changed by the
substitution of "service" for
"work." Note the result. The ad-
vertisement was answered on two
consecutive nights by 800 men.
When the men, desperate for work,
learned that they ere wanted, not
for work, but to attend religious
services, "they showed their in
dignation to such effect that it was
necessary for policemen to guard
the men and women of the Gospel
Mission, at the street number
given, and to warn worshippers to
take their children home to pre-
vent them from being injured in a
riot" The Post Dispatch story tells
how Mrs. John E. Davis, wife OF
one of the preachers at the Gospel
Mission, regretted that the adver-
tisement appeared. "We thought
it would just give / little harmless
publicity to our work in the cause
of Christianity" she said, "but
tho result was astonishing. We
had no idea that hundreds of men
would answer the advertisement"
She and her associates were under
the impression that these are pros
porous times. The men began to
arrive at 2 P. M, Tuesday. "They
hurried there so as not to miss the
chance for employment six hours
later. Before sunset, 100 men were
sitting on the curbstone. After
dark, 800 more arrived. Some tolc
that they had come from Valley
Park. Others were from Granite
City. All were hungry for work
Some carried lunches, others haC
new overalls under their arms
They formed a line extending
nearly q block from the mission
quarters" The narrative thel
proceeds as follows: "Wnen thu
lay preachers arrived and saw tn,
throng they sent for policemen tt
guard the building and escort tn
mission workers to it. The police
advised that services be abandon
ed for the evening. When tn
doors were opened the men mad
a rush to get in, and policemen
had to push them back. Fists wer,
shaken and threats we're made
Many of the men demanded tina
they be reimbursed for the carfar
they had spent. Davis told tn
men he had only a quarter. H
gave it to one of them to b
changed and used for carfare
Davis tried to explain that the ad
, ~vertisement meant that he wante
men to work for Christianity, bu
the angry job-seekers howled hir

men answered the advertisement
and police protection for the mis-
sion workers again was necessary

There was indeed much in her sit

she was, deserted even by those who
had been her allies in this work.

Sonora, have you ever seen this
slipper?" he asked, suddenly placing
upon the table the little shoe which
for a purpose l had brought with me,
and meantime thrown upon the table.
She flashed a dark look, and did not
speak.
"One night, some time ago, your
husband pursued lady across this
town to get possession of that very
slipper and it's contents! There was
in the toe of that little shoe mes
sage. AS you know, we got from it
certain information, and therefore de-
vised certain plans, which you have
helped us to carry out. Now, as per-
haps you have had some personal ami

the liberty of sending a special mes
senger to ask her presence here this

the door, and with deep bow an
nounced the Baroness Won Ritz, who
entered, followed closely by Mr.. Cal

John Calhoun becomes secretary of

Oregon. Nicholas Trist, his secretary. is
sent with message to the Baroness Won
Ritz, spy and reputed mistress of the
British minister, Pakenham Trist en-
escaping from pursuers. She agrees to
see Calhoun, and as a pledge that she
will tell him what he wants to know re,
Mexico, she she gives Trist slipper, " the

Churchill before departing. The baroness
says she will try to prevent the marriage.

marriage is declared off Nicholas finds

She tells him the slipper he had, con-

Pakenham, saying that if the United
States did not annex Texas within 80 days
she would lose both Texas and Oregon.
Calhoun orders Trist to head a party
bound for Oregon. Calhoun excites the
jealousy of Sonora Yturrio, and thereby
secures the signature of the Texas at

arrives in Oregon. Later the baroness
rives on a British warship:. She tells

Nicholas follows her. He learns on the

Texas annexed, and that there is to be

Trist that in return for compromise of
the Oregon boundary on the forty-ninth

She tells him the story of her life.
Trist breaks Pakenham's key to the
baroness apartments. Pakenham calls

pay. He insults her She compels him
to apologize. holds him up in his true
