To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
/ enjoy reading some of the letters in
the Mail Bag, and have read with in

from the Book of Books. It has always
struck me as rather unfair to take the
bible from us without giving us some-
thing better to take its place.
No book in the world has, has ever oiHad been
and yet it lives today N the hearts Of
millions as the living Word of God: It
alone has power to lift the poor drunk

song in his mouth, It alone can turn turn
the heather from his idols: it alone can
sustain when troubles as deluge rise
about us: it alone can keep US when
fiery trials assail us. 1t ia the only
book ever called for In the hours OF
sickness and death. therefore. instead of
being a destructive force as regards
the Bible, be constructive. Give this

GERMANY'S SPY MANIA.

1t is reported that a typical American tourist,
Cooking along through Germany, has been arrested
because he gazed too hard at the famous Julian
Tower, in Spandau, in which the imperial war chest
of $3O,O00,000 in real gold is kept.
After period of several hours detention in the
guard room the tourist seems to have satisfied the
authorities that he was not an English spy and had
no intention whatever of trying to run away with the
war chest If it we're not mildly exasperating it
would be amusing to the length to which the spy
mania has gone in Germany. The exaggerated vigl-
lance and the severity of punishment visited upon
those against whom evidence of certain kind is
forthcoming, together with the secrecy with which
the trials are conducted not consistent with that
feeling of security and strength which Germany is
supposed to have. Any American who had designs
on the $30,OOO,O00 in the Julian Tower would prob
ably 60 about getting by means of the stock mar
ket or the ghts to patent churn. War was about
the last thing in his mind, granting that he
knew what the Julian Tower or any other Teuonic
pile was really used for.
The incident leaves the impression that Ger
many is in feverish state of mind, and people who
are certain of their military strength usually are
not so feversh.

EX-ORTHODOX MINISTER
ON BIBLE AND SCIENCE
To the Editor of THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
In Saturdays Mail Bag there ap-
peared a letter by Sunday School
Scholar" intended to refute the pre-
vious statement of Mr.. Scanand that
the teachings OF the Bible and modern
science are in conflict. Instead of an
swering the argument of Mr.. Scanland,
Sunday School Scholar' assails him
with being ignorant of both the Bible
and science and advises him to attend
church and Sunday school to be en-
lightened. The present writer has been
a minister for fifteen years, and thinks
these institutions the least likely
places to acquire much sound knOwl-
edge OF either.
For the purpose of obtaining just
refutation of the statement of Mr..
Scanland that the teachings of the
Bible and science are antaEonistic. the
present writer desires to ask Sunday
School Scholar" first, how he recon-
Giles the unnatural or supernatural
birth of Jesus, according to the Bible,
with natural law. physiological or bio
logical science; second, how he recon
Giles the reported restoration from death
to life of the widows son, Lazarus, OF
Jesus with natural law or modern sci
ence.
In answering these queries do not
presume upon deity, but show how sci
ence supports these supposed historic
occurrences.

TRY TO UNDERSTAND
QUESTIONS OF TO-DAY

To the Editor of THE TIMES;
In a recent number of a popular
monthly, which justifies its title, is
an article by Julian Leavitt, on "The
Man in the Cage. Why He does not
Reform" Therein is a true story
that is gripping and grief compelling.
The prisoners, without regard to de-
gree of guilt, or youth, or previous
environment are hired out to con-
tractors. A young man, in for
first offense. perhaps, is put to work
at sewing machine-a woman'S
work. BE he ever so skillful and
ever so willing. the convict who has
spent several years of his life learn
ing to make overalls or shirts can
no more earn his living thereby when
released than If he had carefully
been trained to serve as nursemaid."
1t Is an insult to the manhood that
remains in them.
The article states that 10, 900 pris-
oners are learning needle" trades in
our various prisons. Every one of
these men is forcing some working
girl outside into idleness, or a lower

PUTTING BRYAN OUT OF BUSINESS.

Now there will be less noise about the Tell Us
How To Vote" Club that Democrats in the House
were organizing by way of rdicung Mr.. Bryan's
pretensions to Democratic leadership. Mr.. Bryan
has won, and the conservative leadership that was
out to dump him, formally and concusvely has dis
covered that it isn't safe to take too many liberties
with the man who is still the biggest force in his
party.
The caucus adopted meaningless and innocu-
Gus resolution for an investigation of monetary con-
ditions and the necessity for legislation. 1t has not
yet been made clear why so entirely useless an in
quiry should have been wanted; it has been appar-
ent from the beginning that such an inquiry must be
the real thing, else it would do the party more
harm than good. Seemingly the chief reasons for
the shilIy-shay resolution we're, first, that there
are two Presidential candidates among the House
leaders, and the soft pedal is in high favor; and
ond, that neither Of their candidates cares much
about Mr.. Bryan, and opportunities to reject the
counsels of that enterprisng gentleman are highly
priced.
Having marched up the HILL the House man.
agement now comes marching down. 1t has agreed
to reorganize the resolution, under which the inquiry
will be held, so as to make it substantially provide
for the sort of inquiry Chairman Henry of the Rules
Committee, and Mr.. Bryan, wanted from the begin
ming
To allege that the concession to Bryan and
Henry is nominal and unimportant, is nonsense. The
truth is that the Bryan appeal to the country brought
up such torrent of protest against the
luton that it had to be reorganized. Messrs Bryan
and Henry, supported by the sympathies and a
threatened coalition of the radicals in both parties,
won big victory.
The Democratic House, playing politics, would
do we'll to look up political history, and discover
that the House usually gets repudiated in the ma
tona convention of the party that runs the House.
A Republican House was for the Republican allies
four years ago. and was defeated at the national
conyention the Democratic side of the House was
anti-Bryan four years ago, and was repudated by
the Denver convention 1t is worth while to follow
the thing back and discover that the national con-
ventions have very generally refused the kindly
advice of the House organizations of the respective
parties

seems to this writer vital point: Does
the church of today believe in the gos-
pei as eXpounded by our Lord and his
Apostles? Is it a fact of present day
Christianity that only rcspectabiity is
a, sine qua non to membership in the
church? Is modern Professionalism a
failure? Is there any difference between
a church member and a wording, and
IL so, what? Is the church of today in
a panic and retreating before the forces
Of evil?
These queries are prompted by a de-
plorable state of affairs existing in the
religious world at present which might
explain In large measure the absence
OF men and boys from the church. With
deepest reverence, be 1t said our Lord

WHY THE DISTRICT
NEEDS SUFFRAGE
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
The arguments for District suffrage,
representation in Congress, and munich
pal government may be summarized
as follows:
l. The present form of government,
however ably or honestly admins
tered. is autocratic and un-American.
resulting in popular apathy and sub
SeTVienCy. Suffrage would stimulate in
terest and independence in public af-
fairs.
.. The present system permits class
rule and special privilege. In real es-
tate assessments, for example, our az
SCISSORS have for many years disCrimin-
ated in favor OF land spectators, pri-
vate corporations, and large propert y
owners, enabling them to dodge large
share of their taxes. Washinston Is
not the best governed city in the
country"
3. The residents of the District should
be allowed to solve their own problems
of housing, taxation, lighting, trans
portation, etc, unhampered by Congress.
4. Self-gOVernment in municipal aC-
fairs need not interfere with Federal
appropriations for national buildings,
parks, or bouleVards in the District The
line between municipal and national
functions could easily he drawn

BAD BARGAINS IN BUTTER.

Ask any farmer how much it costs him to make
pound of butter at this season Of the year. That
will be wise and busnessllke producer who can
calculate it within s per cent. Yet possibly there
is no other article of food the high price of which
has caused so much indignation against both the
mddleman and the cod-storage people.
The professor of agriculture at Cornell has been
making experiments with the university herd Of
cows to determine the actual producing costs The
herd consists of thoroughbred animals, presumably
giving more and richer milk than the average cow,
at the same cost Of keep and attendance so that the
results are low rather than high. Taking into ac-
count all running and capital charges, the 500 pounds
of butter produced figured up 1862 cents per
pound. Were 20 per cent gross profit allowed the
producer and 10 per cent the middeman, this butter
would reach the consumer at 470l cents per pound.
The fodder was estimated at market prices and
labor at its actual cost. On the farm both of these
would be materially reduced But it is improbable
that butter could be made this year at less than 80
oonts per pound or yield legitimate return at a
price of less than 40 cents to the An in
crease in the production at this time would, of
course lower prices. But, whether he knew it not
the farmer trying to meet lower market would be
indulging in runous competition.
Yet this price is unquestionaby too much for
the public to pay What's to be done about it? One
way is to use butter substitutes. There is sound
reason why substitute should be condemned off
hand either Objectionable or less nourishing; and
if we waive the merely visual advantage of spreading
our bread with something yellow, it can be bought
for mere song.
The other method is to make intelligent use oi
cold storage, which doesn't harm butter a bit, which
takes it when the supply is cheap and plentiful anc
keeps it for us until the bad season when the price
of the fresh article isor, in fairness to the farmer
ought to be-prohibtve.

A VERDICT AGAINST LORIMER.

The Union League Club of Chicago has expelled
Edward Hines because of his connection with the
Lorimer case.
Clarence S. Funk, general manager of the In
Harvester Company, testified that Hines
came to him in the lobby of the club and asked him
to contribute to the fund to reimburse the men who
spent 100000 in putting Lorimer over"
Hines has specifically denied any such CONVEX
saon Either it took place. or it didn't If it didn't
Funk lied, and he was the man who brought scandal
on the club and should have been expelled.
The clubs jurisdiction was wider than that OF
the Senate, for between two members it must de-
eide which was guilty of bringing undesiraby no.
toriety upon it. If Hines told the truth, Funk was
reprehensible.
The club having substantially the same power
over its members that the Senate has, investigated
the affair and decided that Hines the man to
expel That verdict was probably reached by just
as fair and deliberate procedure as has character
lied any of the political trials of Lorimer If the
Union League Club is right, then Hines is believed
by it to have made the corrupt proposition to Funk;
and if he did make it, that is the most direct and
satisfactory testimony yet produced that there was
corruption fund, that Hines led in raising it, and
that big business" was called upon to contribute
to it.
Would it not be worth while for the Senate to
send for the Union League Club committee and
learn what showing it decided to recommend the
action which the club took? The testimony would
be quite as competent quite as much to the point
as much that has numbered the pages of the volum
nous record in this case aGd it might have very real
value. "

his way to Palermo, via New York, the pangs OF
hunger became so acute that he began breaking up
the furniture in his excited Italian way and had to
be taken from the train for treatment.
A square meal was all he needed, and written
directions we're given him that for the remainder
of the journey he would not have to 60 hungry sim
ply because the train wouldn't stop anywhere along
the line long enough for him to 60 out and get rail-
road sandwich.
1t may be an amusing story to read when the
evening lamps lit, after leisurey and abundant
meal but to the mercuria son of Italy the situation
was no doubt grave enough, and must have made an
impression upon his mind which he will not forget
when he gets back to the olive groves and vineyards
of his native land AS he reflects upon those longing
hours he SPENT wondering If the train would stop
at the next station until he could get hard roll and
silver of ham, he will be able to tell his countrymen
more graphically than that San Francisco is fur
ther from Gotham than Palermo is from Syracuse,
and that any effort to negotiate the distance without
refreshments is foredoomed to failure.
Nor was his ignorance responsible for the only
peris he encountered. Even when benevolent physi-
clans put him wise to the fact that food could be
procured route he was still between the devil and
the deep sea-rbetwe-- the wayside democracy and
the buffet despotism Having survived all these he
may shine as the village Tarascon when he reaches
