Judge John H. Perry's Suggestion.


 In the current number of the Con gregationalist," Hon. John H. Perry of Southport offers a. few suggestions about the report of the Committee of Nineteen on (CongregationaD poIity. At present the churches elect dele gates to the National Council; the report recommends that hereafter the delegates be- elected by the district associations and state conferences; he doesn't know why. Nor does he know why "Barton's Congregations Manuar should be substituted tor rules that seem to have given entire satisfaction, or why the Committee of Nineteen in it's recommendations about incorporation concerns itself with matter already fully attended to by our General Assembly of 1909. The proposed constitution ana by laws do not warm Judge Perry to en- thusiasm Are they improvements in diction or doctrine, he asks, lover those originally prepared by AIonzo IT. Quint and Leonard Bacon, to whom many of us would be glad 10 leave some monument unchanged ?'' He also suggests that calling docu- ment a constitution won't make it one, if it is not to be submitted to the churches for their ratification or rs- lection.

have now, as far as one can judge, the winning card. Whether they will play it in winning fashion is another matter. Wilson's Chances in New England.
 (From the Boston Globe.)
 What chance has Woodrow Wilson to win electoral votes in New Eng land? Answer to this question must be made guardedly because the presi- dential campaign is yet to shape it. self and just what effect the third party movement will have cannot be forseen with any certainty. 7
 It is twenty years since Grover Cleveland carried Connecticut for the last time after carrying it, twice be- fore, but since then no Democratic presidential candidate has broken the Republican alignment of New Eng land But it can be broken and the significant fact that Maine. Connecti- cut and Massa chusetts now have dem- ocratic governors proves that at least this is good fighting ground. Maine went for Plaisted, Democrat, by B. 753 two years ago, Connecticut elect ed Baldwin by 3,890 and Massachu- setts has twice elected MT. Foss. the last time by plurality of 8,102. With out any strain of the imagination these three states can be called doubt ful this year.
 On the other hand, if one turns back to the presidential election of 1908 it will be discovered that MT. Taft carried all six states by total plurality of 253,456. His smallest plurality was 19,236, in Rhode Island and his next smallest in New Hamp- shire, which he carried by 19,494. He won Maine by 31,584, Vermont by 2s,- 056, Connecticut by 44,660 and the Bay State by 110.426. These look like safe margins, but it must be re- president with the support of Theo- dore Roosevelt. MT. Taft has his own record since then; which will both help and injure him, and his party is split

 may not prove as suitable for our con-
 ditions as one of the other two. By this plan such retail grocers as cared for our trade would become agents of the Housekeepers league, giv-
 ing the league members certain reduc- tions on prices of all commodities This
 plan does not require systematic CO.,
 operation on the part of the houseleep- CT except at the option of local mana gers. q regard such cooperation as
 so important that I would not recom-
 mend this plan without this feature.
 The second Is a housekeepers league
 of our own-not expeSting at first CO., operation from manufacturers, such as
 btained by the national league, but
 based on the principle outlined above, of co-operaton with the retail grocers | in reducing operating expenses. This will not amount to moro than 10 per cent, but with a systematic use of the parcels post according to plans already formed, but not here outlined, another 10 per cent could be saved.
 | The third plan which seems more complicated, but which Is the best of all, is the formation of buyers'clubs 1 In every neighborhood. These are open to many objections, all of which are on the surface of the proposition. First of | all, none of us like our neighbors to know too much about our business All | of us have our pet economies, some of them quite Imaginable, but We don't want any other woman to have the ] chance to laugh at them. The great est of all is that few women are,good buyers. They would have to be trained l by some other system before this, the best of all, would work smoothly. You will observe that none of these plans eliminate the retail grocers. All | give him cash payments and diminish 1 his operating expenses All assure him of the cooperation of his customers. I
 am sure that change of this sort will be welcomed by all.
 None of these plans can be worked
 out in a day. All will require adjust
 ment to the needs of the community but if we are really in earnest in our efforts to reduce expenses. success is sure. None of us expect smooth sail ing at first.
 "It has been decided by the women behind this movement that the best plan to get 1t going is to hold eetings In different parts of the city. I now

 Those housekeepers who do not need

GOVERNOR GOING
 IORHODE ISLAND O'Neal After Pennsylvania Speeches Will Invade
 New England

Montgomery, October 19.-(Special.)- Governor O'Neal has been absent from the state one week today, having left Montgomery last Saturday for Pennsyl- vania, where he spoke during the present week in the interest of the national dem- ocratic campaign.
 Governor O'Neal will go from Penn sylvania to Rhode Island, where he will speak at several places in that state, and he will finish his engagements in Massachusetts. He will probably return to Montgomery by tha first week in No- vember, to remain until after the cleo tion.
 The governor will have given nearly a month to the cause of the democratic campaign. His first speaking engage ments took him to Maine, where he spent week prior to the state election.
 Following MT. Wilson's nomination at the Baltimore convention Governor O Neal was one of the first to tender to the pres ioential nominee his support and every possible assurance of his deep interest. Owing to the fact that large number of important official duties kept Governor O'Neal engaged for several weeks follow ing his return to the state from Maine, he was unable to visit Ohio and Indiana, where he was asked to go on brief speaking tour.
 Governor O'Neal will return to Mont gomery before the expiration of 20 days. the time allowed him under the consti- tuition to be absent from the state with out the necessity of the lieutenant gov ernor assuming office. The 20 days will expire about November l.

Your Stomach Will Digest Any Kind of Food When Given the Proper

We are prone to fall into the error of singling out some article of food and soundly berating the fiend who first in- vented the dish. The habit grows with some people till almost all food is put on the blacklist. This is all wrong.

CONFRONTED
 WITH SERIOUS PROBLEM
By LEWIS l.. BETTY

costing the state far more proportionate- y than other states in the south, and q great reform might be enacted by a con stitutional amendment authorizing dis trict taxation. He believed that the state should not be forced to reed county pris- oners; that the state should not be com pelled to maintain upon It's pension rolls a large number of persons able to take care of themselves, and that certain re- forms should be put into effect with ref erence to the maintenance of those un- fortunate inmates of the insane asylums.
 But these reforms will probably not be put into effect during Governor O'Neals administration. Admitted by practically every man of intelligence in the state as imperative, and as bound to come sooner or later, the governor has been forced to abandon his intention of call ing a special session of the legislature, because of the fact that he would not be able to control the legislature, and because the members, in view of the wave of discontent with reference to the opera tion of the taxation system, would un- doubtedly seek to defeat any plans he might have relative to new revenue bill.
 Governor O'Neal is determined not to call an extra session of the legislature, no matter how urgent one may be, so long as public sentiment is so unfavorable to his administration. He has labored conscientously to procure a strict eu- forcement of all laws: he has spent nights at his office studying out plans whereby conditions might be relieved with refer ence to the financial situation. But it has been made evident to him that the financial situation would not be relieved by an extra session of the legislature; that his recommendations with reference to needed reforms, particularly along financial lines, would not be seriously considered, and that much other neces- sary legislation might fail of enactment on account of the unpopular wave of discontent that has spread throughout the state within the past few months.
 The governor has, therefore. decided that he will not call a special session of the legislature. The state is in as good a financial condition as it could possibly be under the circumstances. Moreover, a means has been provided whereby he can secure all money the state may need, in a legitimate way, and although not particularly to the gov ernor's liking. he is willing to accept it rather than have the legislature offset any of his plans on account of personal dislike, or at the dictates of popular favor. The state is all right, and if the people are willing to see a continuation of present conditions, then the governor has no other alternative than to submit, even though he does so with extreme regret.

Montgomery, october 19.-(Special )-No governor of Alabama for a number of years has had to contend with conditions similar to those which confront Governor O'Neal at the present time, and it is doubtful if any executive has had g harder road to travel. To Governor ONeal has been attributed not only many of the mistakes of the last legislature but he has been censured for endeavoring to enforce the laws enacted by that leg islature. Two years ago hailed as the most pouplar man in the state. the mantle of public favor has now fallen from him and he is now probably the most cen sured and criticized of any public official in number of years.
 As result of the public attitude, Gov ernor O'Neal has been compelled to aban- don a large number of plans looking to the inauguration of many important re- forms in the state. The executive had hoped to put into effect many judicial reforms during his administration; he had hoped to see enacted a revenue bill that would provide sufficient Income for the needs of the states government: he
 ldu pldflIeu io lfiduS u SySltil VI taxation that would tend to equalize as- sessments. and he had planned large number of other reforms which will prob ably not be put into effect during his ad- ministration.
 The governor had hoped to put many of these reforms into effect by an extra ses- sion of the legislature. It is known that as late as September last he was planning to call the state solons together for the consideration of great many measures which he hoped to see put upon the statutes. The question Of revenue was the most important of these, and this question is now the most important. al- though temporary arrangements have been made whereby the state may secure whatever money it needs to meet it's ob- legations. But Governor O'Neal preferred to make arrangements by other methods. In his opinion the state was paying o-st entirely too much money. Education was

 He testified from records that the package sent by Ortie E. AfcManigal of Chicago was received by special de- livery at the home of Peter ]. Smith, an ironworkeps' union official in Cleve- land. According to the government Her bert s. Hockin and McManigal had taken to Cleveland from Rochester, Pa, on a passenger train a quantity of nitroglycerine to carry out orders from J. J. McNamara that there must be Fourth of July celebration at Akron. McManigal in his confession said he had been selected to do the work but thnt Smith and George Ripper An derson, also a defendant. protested, saying they had promised the fee of $200 for doing it to someone else.
 Tt was discovered" said McMan- igars confession, that only McManigal knew how to use nitroglycerine so it was determined to use dynamite, but that there being no fuse McManigal was sent to Chicago to forward fuses from his home.
 The package arrived in Cleveland July {, it was testified An explosion in building under construction by an employer of non-union lahor oc- cured in Akron on the same day, but the damage was slight.
 More financial accounts taken frora McNamaras office in the ironworkers' headauarters in Indianapolis, which the government charges show a con spiracy on the part of S5 defendants to give financial support to the "dyna- hitting syndicate,' were identified by Miss Mary Dye, former bookkeeper for McNamara. Miss Dye identified checks issued to Frank c. Webb, New York. and signed by President Frank NJ. Ryan with the notation, charge q dependa ble expense by order of the executive board"
 Other checks issued to Hockin when he is alleged to have paid money to McMa nigal were identified.
