Not a Party Issue.

With the idea of enlisting Governor
Wilson i'll the cause of prohibition and
to secure his help to make New Jersey
a ''dry" State, Rev. Thomas B. Shan
non, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, and G. Rowland Monroe, coun-
sci for the organization, called upon
Governor Wilson Tuesday afternoon.
The Governor told the visitors that
while he was a personsal believer in
prohibition and local self. government,
he thought the liquor question had no
place in politics. He looked upon it AS
a moral and social question to be dealt
with separately from the great political
i ssuts of the day. With his consent
the Governor said, local option or liquor
selling would never be made an issue
between the political parties.

She will complete a six weeks course III

While many of the students in the
Summer School are taking regular aca-
demic work the majority are Interested
in the work in physical education, peda-
gogy or psychology.
The enrolment of the summer School
is 700. There are tmore than 200 chill
) dren in the model school which is being
conducted in connection with the courses
in pedagogy. This together with the

Cutting Express Rates.

The big express companies have seen
the Handwriting on the wall and have
decided to make a very considerable re-
duction. so per. cent. in some cases, in ex-
press charges, beginning on Aug L. They
have filed the reduced rates with the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
This looks like an attempt to stay pos
tai packages, and it should not succeed.
The p~ostoffice could carry all the small
packages now sent by express at lower
rates than the express companies charge
even at their reduced raid and could do
it at a profit.
The public sentiment in favor of a par
eel post is SO strong that the express
companies now recognize it. Why should
Congress not recognized it also?

The fact that a multitude of avail

Is Due to Fact Shifts

carried up by rescuers, and fifteen
more imprisoned by a caye-in as the
result Of the explosion of a keg of

heard here. Several men, protecting
themselves with clothes over their
noses and mouths. had themselves
lowered down into the pit and began
sending up the dead and injured. Two

others We're sent to surface, so injured
that they died within an hour after

After the rescuers had brought up
the dead and wounded they attempted
to reach the men caught behind the
cave-in. They were driven back by
the gas

HE HAS A THOUSAND BOSSES
Declares Best Men Are Not Entering
Ministry and That Many cler-
gymen Arc Sissies.

st. Paul. oct. 23.-fTt is the most
difficult job in the world for self-re-
specting men To gecome and remain
Methodist ministers owing to the po-
litical machinery which controls tine
methodist conferences"
The speaker was Rev. O. A. Luce,
pastor of the Central park Methodist
Episcopal church. who was preaching
on the topic, why Young Men Do Not
Enter Into the Ministry" last night.
Further. Luce declared a minister Is
the most "muzzled" OF all professional
men: that the congregation, with
marked ingratitude. usually compels
him to resign at the very prime OF his
powers; that the minister today knows
not what freedom is; that the system
under which he receives his pay is one
that takes away all self-respect: and
that the only difference between a min
lister and the ordinary hired man Is
that the minister has n thousand
bosses.
Colleges are not training ministers;
the best mon are not going into the
ministry; and MANY ministers today
are "sissies." declared Luce.
