CATION ENDORSES TRAFFIC
ASSOCIATION MOVEMENT

Mr.. W. NJ. Langdon OF Pueblo, APP
peared before the board of directors
of the Canon City Business Mems as
sociation after its luncheon at the
Strathmore on Monday and talked on
the work of the Rocky Mountain
Traffic association, a body organized
for the purpose of general traffic
management from the shippers stand
point.
The board of directors, after thor
ough consideration, decided to en-
dorse the formation of local branch
of the association whose headquarters
are Pueblo, and Mr.. Langdon was
given a letter of introduction to the
business men of Canon City, endors-
ing the movement as worthy their
support.
1t is asserted that in other states
where these associations have been
formed they have been the means of

correct routing. quoting of rates and
when rates are excessive the depart
ment will appear before railway con-
rerences, and state and national rail-
way commissions on hehalf of the
shippers.
The work of the association will be
in charge of X. l.. Varney, former
Wisconsin man of many years ex-
perience, who comes heralded by the
best wishes of railway traffic officials
and shippers, alike; this due to the
spirit of fairness which has manifest
ed itself in his dealings with both
That Mr.. varney has won some of
die most important cases ever decid-
cd by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and still retains the friend
ship of the defendant carriers, speaks
well for the choice of traffic man
ager for Southern Colorado shippers.
That this section needs a represen-
tative OF this character there is no
denial and the healthful neral effect
of this traffic movement is equally
certain, having already been proven
by similar organizations elsewhere
Mr.. Langdon will call personally on
all of the Canon City merchants with
view of getting their support to the
local branch of the association. the

Episcopal bishops are wrought up on
the subject of Christian education, es-
pecially higher education for young
men, Their number until recently
vas nineteen, but now twenty have
Joined in a campaign covering Ken
lucky and Tennessee, and the coast
states from the Carolinas to Texas,
in favor of the University of the South
located at Sewanee. The bishops of
Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, At
lanta and Florida, have just completed
speaking tours, some of which have
extended into Missouri Plans are
making for similar tours next fell with
more bishops engaged.
These bishops say they feel keenly
the necessity for education that S
upon a definite Christian basis. Near
ly all of them have gone upon record
as approving the founding of Christ
ian universities in India, China, Japan
and especially in favor of the plan, now
well under way, to found great
university on such a basis at Manila,
Now they add that it is quite essen
tial that similar university be es-
tablished in America They deplore,
Ithey say, the change of some universe
ties, formerly Christian, some found
ed by Christian ministers, to purely
secular atmosphere.
The University of the South owns
eight thousand acres of mountain land
of the United States government and
underneath which are immense coal
beds, to be developed later. The uni
versity has a $25O,O00 endowment and
the present campaign of the bishops is
aiming to increase this endowment TO
81 ,0000 Reliant and able, the bisE-
ops say they are asking the South, not
the rest of the country, to put on a
permanent basis this institution for
higher education Of young men that
shall always maintain a Christian At
mosphere and let the whole world
know that it does so. The bishC
speaking of conditions in the South,
says:
"The men of the South are waking
up to the necessity Of better govern
ment for their cities. They are also
taking steps to improve public schools
In cities where l know conditions,
the collection of taxes is better done
than formerly and money more wise
ly expended. The public school i'm
provement is not new, but a recent
meeting of superintendent in Mobile
helped on the movement not a little.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
the Southern bishops are in earnest in
their campaign in favor of Christian
education. i

WORKING FOR
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Episcopal Bishops of South
Wrought Up

New York, March 24-Few realize
the conservation shown by Christian
men, missionaries in the highest sense,
who travel through the towns and in
to the sparse populations of Paraguay,
South America, selling Bibles to people
who for the most part don't want to
buy or event read, Bibles at all. To
travel in Eucador, practically under
the equator, and carry ones stock of
/ books about with him-how easy in
comparison is many a hard task?
The American Bible Society, which
represents the American people, or at
least several millions of them, not on
ly induces men to perform this work,
but finds men who rejoice in it, wish
ing they had more hours of the day
in which to carry the Gospel to people
whom they feel are in need of it, In
Argentina last year this American en-
terprise, this Bible enterprise, to put
the work on business basis, sold last
year more than $4,000 Bibles or paris
of Bibles, in Chile, 10000, and even in
Peru $500. There's enterprise of the
true American sort!
There was an exposition in Argen-
tina last year. and it helped Bible sales
in that country Some extra doingA
in Chilli helped the sales there More
education and more enlightenment in
Peru and Ecuador than formerly, and
these swelled Bible sales, For years
Christian United States has been Civ
ing money to the American Bible So
ciety, and some of their money has
been going to make 1t possible for
South American people, who want
them, to have Bibles and Testaments
to read
1t is estimated that North America
has helped to place in South America
in the years since it has been in the
Bible extension work there, three mil
lions by Bibles Nearly all have been
placed by these self-sacrificing men.
Formerly these men carried their BIZ
bles on their backs and lightened their
loads as they made sales. Sometimes,
| it happened last year, even in pro-
gressive Chile, that no sales We're made
and therefore no food was had by the
colporter because he had no money
to buy it. In some places now wa
CONS and OK teams transport the
stock of Bibles.
Railroads are being built and along
their lines there are always people who
will buy Bibles. But the society's
missionaries point out that schools
are being multiplied in rural dis
tricts, especially in Uruguay, a small
but rich country, Chile and Argentina,
and in consequence, there is mucn
need for more Bible work, if the de-
mand for Gods word is to be met.
