ferring to the number OF women present,
saying that when women are at public
meetings, he always feels as il he were
in a Democratic gathering The speaker
contendod that of late there has been q
more widespread desire for Democracy,
and while the labor men would not dis
cuss these matters in an academic man
ner like college professors, they did so in
a practical manner and as n RESULT they
have done more for Democracy than the
Institutions which are supposed 10 be
founded for that purpose.
Speaking of mob rule or caprice. Mr..
Adams said. we don't want il any
more than others, but what we desire is
the referendum and recall, now used by
the interests on broader plain. Amer.
can people, if organized in each city,
county and state would be the highest
tribunal on earth"
Senator Works, in his address spoke in
cool and argumentative manner. He

here to talk politics The question is the
same to all Republicans. Democrats OF

tive. referendum and recall. The recall
has been in use in my city. Los Angeles
for 10 years and il has been used but
once. IL is an extraordinary measure
to be used only in extraordinary cases
If you had il in Delaware you would moi
have to use it because your official
would know that YOU had the power 4
recall them and they would not need b.
recalled"
Senator Works told of the Presidential
preference law, which was in vogue n
California and by il the people had tn
right TO vote on the candidates for III
Presidential nomination as we'll as TO
their election.
lie contendcd that no candidate shoul

the pleasure, George Huber, the baker,
manufacturing the King Midas Bread,
has placed coupons on each loaf of the
bread for the return of a certain number
of the coupons, a pair of skates can be
secured. This has caused the youngsters
throughout the city to collect the cou-
pons and as a results Mr.. Huber reports
heavy sales of bread. King Midas -four
is the highest priced -four on the market,
and yesterday an order was placed by
Mr.. Huber for 10000 barrels Of the

because il is so often fatal. Less than
a week ago a young man raised in my
town attempted TO do something high up
on a telegraph or telephone pole in the
city OF Atlanta. Careful, steady, compe-
tent as he was. he unfortunately touch

his death. He left a bereaved wife

We are learning a great deal about

After a storm. when poles and wires

look black and dead, but they are man

Two summers ago 7 was riding on a

In one Of the most ably conductedd
weekly periodicals i'm the South
came upon this paragraph recently
we have Ions wondered If in
the religious realm We we're not
pressing the matter of organiza-
ton a bit too far. The multiple
cation of ecclesiastical machin-
cry may serve i'm some way the
material progress of religion.
More dollars may be raised and
more social activities enterpris-
ed. There may he outwardly
greater signs of success. Yet it
is possible to conceive of the
Church becoming a veritable
beehive of activities and doing
a great work for the bodies of
men without accomplishing the
supreme mission for which 1t
was divinely ordained.
Men cannot be organized into
the culture OF Christian expe-'
rience and the development of
Christina character. These are
intensely individualistic. Their
blessed results follow the per-
sonal faith in. and fellowship of
the individual with, Christ. The
danger, and it is by no means
imaginary, is that misguided
men and women may substitute
membership in certain societies
and participate in certain sched-
uIed activities for this conscious
and essential touch with God. 1t
is a sad fact that there are per-
sons the only evidence Of whose
spiritual life is their attendance
upon the meetings of their SO
ciety or committee. their render
ing of such duties az the cir
cumstance imposes upon them
and their contribution of such
dues as the society demands"
There is much force in what the
editor says. Our age tends always to-
wards the mechanical in everything,
''Labour-saving machinery" does the
work Of hundreds of labourers, and
the machine comes to outrank the
a-borrer in the minds of many. The

politics, and in nearly all other
fields. Even on literature and ART
the machine is brought to bear. TIE
