MISSIONS SUBJECT
FOR TWO MEETINGS
Two Special Speakers Appear
at St. Johns Lutheran
Church, Sunday.

The mission cause was discussed at
two special services at ST Johns
Lutheran church Sunday. DR.. F.
Ernst, director of the Lutheran semin-
airy at st. Paul, delivered the morning
address, basing his discourse on Isa-
iah "a, 20.
DR.. Ernst called attention to the
fact that until seventy-f1ve years ago
the mission cause was not generally
considered by Christians. In fact,
many Christians. he held, were oppos-
ed to the movement, believing that
the church had no call to concern it
self with those without the pale Of
Christianity. This opinion, he said,
mad changed and now the whole
church believes in the necessity of
doing mission work.
He urged that it is the bounden
duty OF every Christian to partici-
pate in the work for the spread of the
sospei is the sole object of Christian
endetyor. Only the gospel message
can save men from eternal death. BY
prayer, gifts and the conservation of
men 1of the work, the mission work
is carried forward.

PENSIONS HIS GAME
Thirty of Gray's 81 Measures
of that Class.

The thirty private. pension bills
which Representative Finly H. Gray
introduced in congress are interpreted
by politicians in the Sixth district to
mean that the congressman is trying
to pave his way back into the lower
house by getting close to the families
of civil war veterans in the Sixth dis
trict
Of the thirty-one bills which Gray
introduced all but one were private
pension measures, including a special
house resolution providing that s3,250
be appropriated as pension to Mrs.
Grace jackson, widow of Stokes Jack
SON. The house passed the resolution.
The one piece of general Hesitation
that Mr.. Gray introduced was an
to the pension bills provid-
ing for service pension system. In
doing this he made good a platform
pledge.

Exemption Certificate Given
Him Declared Invalid by a
Law Firm Which Made an
Examination.
OTHER TEACHERS IN
THE SAME TROUBLE
There Is a Sentiment for a
Careful Examination of All
Exemption Licenses Now
Held in County.

The question of the validity of the
exemption license under which Isaac
E. Neff, principal of the Richmond
high school, has held office for two
years, has called attention to the lille
gality of exemption licenses held by
other Wayne county teachers.
Principal Neff, in a statement to the
Palladium, said he did not know his
license had been issued enormously
until a local law firm had examined
the certificate and informed him that
it was void.
Principal Neff expressed his willing
ness to take the state examination as a
basis for valid certificate.
Persons interested in educational af-
fairs are of the opinion that the pres
ent county superintendent should ex-
anime carefully the validity of the ex-
emption licenses held in Wayne coun-
ty and if any has been issued con-
trary to the statute, revoke it or
take steps to have the holder take the
state examination.
1t was learned that former county
superintendents issued exemption H.
censes to teachers who had not taught
six consecutive years in the county,
as provided by law Exemption H.
censes, 1T was said, were formerly
issued to teachers who had taught
six consecutive years in Indiana
schools, but had not been employed
in the same county for this period.
Professor T. A. Mott, superintend-
ent of the city schools, said that the
form of Principal Neff's certificate
was correct when presented to him
two years ago. The city superintend-
ent said Saturday that the validity
OF the license concerned the state and
county school authorities, and was
not within his province.
The text of the statute covering the
granting of exemption licenses is
appended:
Provided, That any person who has
taught for six consecutive years in
the common schools of the state, and
now holds three years license to
teach therein, or who, having previ-
ously taught for six consecutive years
In said common schools and shall
hereafter obtain a three years IL
cense to teach therein, or who has
heretofore been exempted, shall be
forever afterward exempt fSom exam
ination as long as he or she shall
teach in the common schools of the
county in which said three years IL
cense was Obtained.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. - The
abandonment today of the filibusteI
of Senator Chamberlain of Oregon
against the adjournment of congress
on an understanding that the general
deficiency bill carrying state claims
shall go over until December left Sen
ator La Follette's filibuster to force a
vote on his Penrose resolution, the
only visible obstacle in the senate
to prevent adjournment
1t was understood that the house
was agreeable to Chamberlain's prop
osition
The first train north leaving Wash.
ington after congress adjourns will
carry President Taft toward Beverly.
That was practically all that anyone
in Washington was certain about to-
day, as the adjournment of congress
was a very much unknown quantity
and President Taft could not leave
while congress was in session.
Capital Warm Place.
Washington today was in the throes
of the summers hottest spell. To add
to the presidents discomfort was the
fact that all of his summer clothes
had been sent to Beverly and he spent
Sunday and today in woolens instead
of the fiannels and crash he is accus-
toned to wear. In addition it is cost
ing him 5000 day for his private
car. held ready for his private use,
and the provisions to stock it, and
this did not add to the presidents
peace of mind.
Representative Underwood announc-
ed today that no overtures would be
made to the senate with regards to
the deficiency appropriation bill or
n settled date of adjournment.
80 far as the house is concerned" !"
he said. ''the general deficiency bill
is out of the houses hands and on it's
way to the president. If the senate
which has no right to be in it, the
house cannot be held responsible. We
are prepared to stand until the SEN
ate sends word it desires a further
conference on this bill"
Congressman Fitzgerald declared to-
day that the house would never yield.
Speaker Clark was of the opinion that
the house would compromise and in
this event the deficiency bill probably
will be passed at the next session.
In anticipation that the senate
would finally recede the general de-
f1ciency bill, minus the 100000 state
claims, which had been the cause of
the fight, was engrossed today so that
within a few minutes it could be
forwarded to President Taft.
