GOVERNMENT TO
TEACH FARMERS
viii Cooperate With State and
Local Workers.

Washington, May 22.-Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson has announced
plans to be instituted for farm man
agement study and work in the North,
for which both houses of congress
have made provision in the agrlcul.
tural appropriation bill. This plan,
on which the secretary and DR.. b. T..
Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant
industry, have been working for sew
eral months, corresponds TO the CO
operative demonstration work in the
South
The federal government, through
its agents, who will act in co-opera-
tion with state and local inspectors,
proposes to make study of the farms
of the country with view especially
of carrying to the farmer information
which will show him why a certain
branch of his industry is Improbable
and how he can make 1t pay, or if not,
why he should drop that branch.
I'VE will carry the agricultural
school to the farmer" said Secretary
Wilson. Ordinarily only one man In
large number can go to school to
study farming. We must take the
school to him"

TRAvESTY ON THE CHURCH
Rev. Madison C. Peters Discusses
Richeson EIectrocution.

New York, May 22.-"The solemnity
and mock religious atmosphere that
apparently surrounded the electrocu-
tion of c. V. r. Richeson surely horri-
fed the most hardened and IL the
Rev. Herbert s. Johnson really asked
Richeson: Are you ready to die for
Jesus sake? it was the worst travesty
on the church and religion that | ever
heard" declared Rev. Madison G. Pc
ters, pastor of Pilgrim Congregational
church.
Just such maudlin and sacrilegious
things disgust all sensible people with
the church and make them despise re-
ligion.
'Richeson did not die for Jesus sake
That Is a mockery. He did not even
die for the sake cf Avis Linnell. He
died to satisfy the demands of justice
because the state of Massachusetts
declared that he had to.
Such things only tend to glorify
murder and attract sentiment to muir
derers and If we persist in making
heroes out of such men as Richeson
we cannot expect to check crime"

.RICHESON met
HIS FATE CALMLY
If-COntrOI Of Former Min
lister a Surprise.

Boston, May 22.-Facing death with
q fortitude that amazed his spiritual
advisers, his counsel and the ten who
were states witnesses, C. " T. Richie
son, former pastor of Emmanuel Bap
tist church, Cambridge, died in the
electric chair at Charlestown prison
with an exhibition of manhood he had
never before shown during his life.
A current of 1000 volts was hurled
through Richeson's body.
Three physicians pronounced his
death instantaneous. Twice the volt
age was lowered and twice shocked
again into the body of the man who
had betrayed and then murdered pret
ty Avis Linnell, the little Hyannis
choir singer.
Rev. Herbert Stebbins, prison chap
lain, who has officiated on many such
hideous occasions, broke down com
pletely after he had left the death
chamber.
at was not altogether the misery
or the horror of the whole thing" said
DR.. Stebbins, that has shaken me
1t was more than that. 1t was the
mans heroism displayed In his man
ner of dying, penitent and secure in
the belief of salvation.
''It was a revelation and miracle
tina. only God could have wrought
Until he was pronounced dead could
not believe this poor sinner who has
confessed to so much weakness and
cowardice throughout his whole life
would be able to see the light and die
courageously through sincere trust In
God. repeat-it was surely a revela
tion of Gods power, which was grant
ed because Richeson died far better
man than he has ever lived"

Two thousand Presbyterian
Pulpits Vacant.
ASSEMBLY IS SURPRISED
Statement Brings Out Criticism of
Policy of DismIssing "CIergymen of
Brains and Education" for No other
Reason Than Their Age.

Louisville, KY, May 22.-After the
surprising declaration that there are
1000 churches in the United States
"pastorless and shepherdless" had
been made in the general assembly OF
the Northern Presbyterian church
resolutions were adopted urging all
Presbyterian commissioners (laymen)
to keep in close touch with young men
who might be candidates for the min
istry.
Rev. Joseph w. Cochrane of Phila
delphia, discussing a minister's living
chances, said:
"We hear advices that man to be
a minister must starve. | never knew
that to be true will admit that the
salaries are not princely, but it can't
be remedied except by this very as
sembly."
Immediately Rev DR. Henry j. Beck
er of Dayton, Ohio, interrupted:
Hundreds of gray haired men OF
the ministry annually are dismissed
or cast aside" he said. Men OF
brains. education and good records are
eliminated for no other reason than
that they are too Old"
To this DR.. Becker attributed the
gradual diminution of successful can
didates for the ministry. The young
men need the advice and counsel OF
their elders, but now there are too
few elders.
The assembly proceeded with con.
sideration of a report on new in
termediate catechism and a mass OF
other technical subjects

FUN AT RIVALS
Missouri Senator Discusses
Taft=ROOsevelt Fight.
WORLD LOOKS ON AGHAST

Declares Language Used by Former
Cronies Resembles the vernacuIar
of a Fish Market-Quotes Some of
the "PoIite" Exchanges.
Washington, May 22.-Senator w. ].
Stone of Missouri carried out his pur-
pose of addressing the senate on "The
Modern Damon and Pythias and Cor
related Subjects Pertaining to Cur
rent Politics"
"Mr. president" he said "any man
having even meager knowledge of an
cient lore will recall the story of Da-
mon and Pythias and the story of
David and Jonathan.
"A few years ago the American peo-
pie and the civilized world were given
TO understand that here i'm our own
dear country we had a reproduction
of these glorious traditions of the far
distant past.
I'VE were led to believe that the
combined and consolidated spirits of
Damon and Jonathan had come out of
their haven of rest and taken refuge
in the corpus of Theodore Roosevelt
and that the combined spirits of David
and Pythias had in like manner come
to rest on the ample bosom of VIII
lam Howard Taft
Thus in happy conjunction, boeh
of these old stories of ancient lore syns
love were reproduced here in this aew
world of ours for the edification end
uplifting OF the human race"
Enter the Serpent of Ambition.
Senator Stone, amid laughter, said
IL had been case of two souls with
but single thought: two heart that
beat as one," until "the Shiny and poi
sonous serpent of ambition crawled
across the path they were walking
and divided them. Both had tasted
the bittersweet of power and liked it
cvermuch. Both were tempted and
both fell"
$50 instead of peace we have had
war;" the senator continued; war
with knives and knives to the hilt. AS
consequence OF this ferocious con-
test the country and the world have
been treated to a series of spectacular
vaudeville stunts in politics without a
parallel In the history of our country
and which l devoutly hope will not be
repeated"
These world famed Republican
leaders have been for months circling
the country abusing each other like
pickpockets In language akin to the
yernacular of fish market, or even
something worse. The world outside
looks on aghast and the press and the
reading public of Europe and of all
enlightened nations everywhere car
toon and laugh at them"
To the amusement of the senate,
Senator Stone read at some length
samples "of the polite exchanges of
compliments" among the three Repub-
lIcan candidates. He said he must
grant that President Taft, "innately a
gentleman" evidently was reluctant
to enter upon this ruffian fight" He
asserted, however, that the last word
In this black chapter of American
history" would be written at Chicago.
