A joint conference of the pastors of the

meeting was attended by sixty ministers.

A general discussion of the advantages
to be derived by the two churches-Bap-

work whenever feasible was led by DR..
Robert Scott of Baltimore. who formerly
was at the head of Baptist educational
institution in Connecticut.
Work Might Be Aided.
Dr. Scott spoke of the work of the two
churches among the colored people and In
foreign fields. and pointed out that by
working together members of the
churches will accomplish greater results.
The meeting. it was said, was held merely
for an exchange of ideas, but 1t was inti-
mated by some of those present that a
continuance of the gatherings in various
parts Of the country might eventually end
in a union of the two denominations.
This, however. was not advocated today.
A banquet was served this afternoon AT
cation. Rev. Charles Adey. president OF
the Baltimore Conference OF B.ptist and
| Christian Ministers, presided at the ses-
sion this morning With others present
| were Rev. DR.. Gregory, pastor of the

secretary of the Southern Baptist Confer
ence; Rev. Dr. f. B. Hatcher of Balti-
more, secretary of the Baptist State WORK
of Maryland. and Rev. John Compton
Ball. pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist
| Church, in which the meeting was held.
Regular Meetings Held.
Washington pastors of the two denom-
| nations meet twice a month. and in
Baltimore similar meetings are held each
week A general meeting Of the two cities
will be held semi-annually, the next to be
! held in the spring in Baltimore.

DRAWING THE LINES.

There was an opportunity Wednesday to take a
look at what is left of the Republican organization in
Maryland. Never particularly strong, it is but
a shell.
The concrete demonstration of the helpessness
of the party emphasizes fact that is being every
where recognized-that the contest for the Presi-
dency rests between Governor Wilson and Colonel
Roosevelt.
One stands platform in which human rights
the conservation of the nations human resources
the uplifting of the breadwinner, the salvage OF
human wreckage from the stern strife for existence
are made for the first time the cardinal principle OF
great political movement.
New, experimental, it is true, are some of the
plans put forth to advance these ideals. But al
least, the new party can make the appeal that il
stands ready to try that effort is better than to
content with present conditions or than admission
that, as nothing be done, endeavor is not worth
while.
The campaign is just beginning in Maryland
Before it is over The Times believes a great army
Of men and women will understand fully the aims
Of the National Progressive party and will be founc
valiantly fighting in its ranks.
The Washington times., 1912-09-13

will prove as ineffective, as incapable of max
ing good, as did the divided Democracy of
Cleveland; and for exactly the same reason.
That is exactly what was the matter
with the Democratic party in 1893; it is
what was the matter with the Republican
party in 1909; it is what wrecked the Re-
publican party, and it is what makes abso-
lutely necessary, if the country shall 60 for
ward rather than backward, that the Demo
cratic party be rejected this year.
Fortunately, there is this time an alter
native 1t is the Progressive party. That
party has been gaining strength by leaps and
bounds. Nobody is blind enough to have
failed to recognize this fact. 1t is emanci-
pated, free, independent. 1t has cast out the
Republican besses and is fighting against
bossism in tiny form. 1t has nominated
Oscar Straus for governor of New York, and
every day adds to the probability that he
will be elected. Yesterdays performance at
Syracuse increased vastly the probability of
Straus' victory, for it forced the issue be-
tween Wilson and Murphy, in public way.
Wilson cannot win without Murphy, and he
has given ofense to Murphy. If the boss
should swallow his resentment and support
Wilson despite the insult he would do it
merely because policy compelled it, and with
the knowledge that, in the event of Wilson's
election, Tammany would have power
enough to check any progressive program
on which Wilson's Administration might
enter.
If the country is progressive-and no
body can seriously doubt that a vast ma
jority in both parties is-it must realize that
its only chance to translate its aspirations
into accomplishments is through the one
party that is free from the bosses. The coun-
try realizes that, and it explains why the
Progressive party is gaining strength at a
rate which has already terrorized the man.
ayers of both the old organizations.
