WOMAN'S VOTE COMING

1t is not probable that the bills for
woman's suffrage now before the
State Legislature will be given a
favorable recommendation. Never
theless the suffragists have stirred
the State Capitol as never before and
it is considered only matter of time
before they get their demands.
1t is common opinion that the
cause of woman's suffrage has been
greatly advanced in Pennsylvania
Of course among the various Senators
and Legislators you can get as many
shades of opinion on the subject as
the number of people to whom you
talk.
However in spite of the fun polk
ed at the affair, underneath there
runs a vein of serious consideration
which points to a probable success

be bonded in the sum of $50,0O0,-
900 for good roads purposes. 1t is
proposed to saddle a portion of this
burden upon posterity as they will
be largely the beneficiaries. So far
no organized opposition to the plan
has appeared, the only objection to
be made, if any, being as to the plan,
and not to the purpose, for every
body favors good roads. Governor
Tener is reported as being in favor
of the bill, as we'll as Senator Pen
rose, and their support will un-
doubtedly result in the passage of
the act. Nothing much can be done
however, until the bonds are au-
thorized and sold, and that means
several years from now.

PRESBYTERIAN
HERESY TRIAL
National Assembly 0pans At
Atlantic City Tomorrow

Atlantic City, N. j., May 17.-Among
the subjects to be taken up by the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church In the United States, which
meets for its one hundred and twenty
third annual session here Thursday,
will be the question of alleged heret-
ical utterances by several cleraymen,
the reduction Of representation, both
lay and clerical, the grouping of the
several boards that carry on the work
Of the church organization and the
question Of adopting an intermediate
catechism.
One Of the other main things to be
done will be the election Of a modera-
tor to succeed Charles Little of Wa
bash, Ind.
The heresy cases involve the Rev.
DR.. Francis Brown, president of the
Union Theological Seminary; DR.. Will
liam A. Brown, president of systematic
theology of the same institution, and
the Rev. DR.. William D. Grant Of
Northumberland, Pa, a graduate Of
Union seminary.
The case against the two Browns
was taken up by the presbytery Of
Pittsburg, which refused to overture
the general assembly to inquire into
alleged heretical articles printed In re-
ligious publications by them. but two
other presbyteries-Iowa and West
Jersey-adopted such an overture and
1t will be presented to the general as
sembly and no doubt referred to the
committee on bills and overtures for
action.
The heresy ease against DR.. Grant
was to have been submitted to the
Pennsylvania synod, but 1t was later
decided to have the general assembly
take 1t up. DR.. Grant vas acquitted
by a judicial commission Of the assem-
bly, Of charges somewhat similar to
those against the Browns, but the
prosecution was not satisfied and took
steps to carry the case to the higher
bodies.

Washington, My 19:-Henry
Lewis Stimson, who has just been
appointed secretary of war to sue
coed Henry M. Dickinson, first came
into public eye five years ago when
as United States district attorney for
the southern district of New York he
successfully prosecuted a number of
the big railroads accused Of giving
rebates to the sugar trust. These
cases eliminated in the prosecution
of the sugar trust itself for violation
of the customs laws, and a verdict
of guilty by a jury returned S3,435,-
500 into the United States treasury
in fines and back duties. Another
big financial case Of the Stimson re-
gime was the prosecution of Charles
w. Morse and his conviction for
wrecking the National Bank of
North America. When the Republi-
can progressives got control Of the
Saratoga convention last year Theo-
dore Roosevelt made Mr.. Sttmson
his candidate for governor and

Springfield Republican: In discussing
the judicial recall in the Arizona con-
stitution the Republicans should have
made it clear that Oregon already had
the thing, and that it is, to that e.
tent, by no means unprecedented in
America. It was in 1902 that Oregon
adopted the initiative and referendum,
but it was not until 1908 that the re-.
call applying to judicial as we'll as to

into the Oregon system: Thus far there
has been no effort to recall judge in
that state. At the last election an
effort was made to secure popular ap.

framed, but the people defeated the
scheme by vote of co. to %, 600.

decision just rendered by the inter-
state commerce commission whereby
express rates are reduced on cream
shipments from the county districts to
the cities. The new rates will average
about 40 per cent lower than the old
rates. From Ada to st. Paul the rates
has been reduced from % to Al cents
per hundred pounds. The distance is
265 miles The reduction is graduated
and the longer the haul the greater
the reduction. For a haul of sos miles
the rate has been cut from Sill to 81
cents. The new rates are the results
OF a suit brought by r. E. Cobb and is
a big victory for the centralizers over
the country creameries. Stick to your
home creamery-it will pay in the long
run.

A Stream So Crooked That It Double

There is a stream in Massachusetts
called the North river. It starts in a

at Scituate. It is ten miles by air line
from Hanson to Scituate. and the river
is forty miles long.
This river is probably the most re-

to call attention to itself. But there is

The North river is noted for being

coast settlements. It is notable fo'
having given birth to the ship Column
