The greater part of the work of levying
the revenue duties was done by native as
sistants. While Collector Noting started
out at the beginning Of the year with
eighty-five American assistants, he re-
placed thirty-seven of these with natives.
The results, he says, have been better
than was hoped for.

wards would permanently face the parks
thus created; it was expected that sooner
on. later new houses would be built with
fronts facing the parks, and as such
houses would be more desirable for fam
lilies it would eventually attract better

the value of property that the owners
would ultimately be repaid for the expen-
diture in converting these alleys ana
courts into parks and Fairgrounds.
Certainly the conversion of the alleys
of square So into a minor street has
done nothing to improve conditions. either
as TO beauty or value. The property In
surrounding squares has not increased III

less valuable, notwithstanding that the
condemnation jury assessed Dement'S
amounting to about II per cent OF the
original value.
OF course in some cases it may be I'M

force, some other treatment must De

regretted and much to be deplored.
Destroys Social Evenings.
1.-The vital objection OF the German So
cieties to the new excise law is that it
destroys our social evenings Sunday. robs
our families as we'll as ourselves of the
pleasure of social intercourse with our
friends on the only evening of the week
when the great majority of us are free
to enjoy ourselves. and it is driving our
young men away from our clubs, where
they can hear good music and enjoy prof
liable conversation, to lawless places
where drink is dispensed to attract them
to worse things.
Every one familiar with the rebellious-
ness of human nature knows that forbid
dem pleasures are to the weak the sweet
est. Tell young man he shall not drink
and he will embrace his first opportunity
to do it,, 1t is perhaps crude way OF
asserting ones personal rights. but 1t is
a natural one.
Our German clubs and singing societies
are and always have been conducted with
propriety and due regard for the law Of
the land and for the law of God. We
gather Sunday. when rest from labor is
commanded, and sit In our halls with our
wives and children and listen to good mu-
sic or enjoy social chats with our friends
and our neighhors. 1t is our German way
always to have beer and something to
cat at such times.

RIGHT TO REJECT BIBLE
ASSERTED BY SPEAKER
Declares There Is No Statement in
Scripture Claiming Book
Is Inspired.

An address on THE Bible by Prof.
William Macon Smith was the chief
feature Of the meeting of the Washington
Secular League held yesterday afternoon
at 935 New York avenue northwest. The
speaker upheld the right of rejecting such
parts of the Bible as might seem right to
reject.
Luther rejected the book of James,
Prof. Smith said, because he claimed it
was not worthy Of an apostle. So may
We, and so should we, reject the whole
Bible or any part Of it which is not
worthy of God Of truth and justice.
No Claim of Inspiration.
He says: /.
And let us bear this important fact
well in mind, namely, that there is no
statement in the. Bible that the whole
volume is inspired, nor is there any state
ment in any. particular book that the par
ticular book is inspired. Even il such
statements existed that would not prove
the alleged fact. But in the absence Of
such statement why should we accept the
Bible or any part of it for more than it
claims to be? 1t seems that fact alone
should remove any scrupleS OF over ten
der and sensitive souls who hesitate to
reject the authority which some pretend
that the book possesses.
There Is no escape: the Bible and
every part of it must be subjected to the
gauge and tombstone of reason for APP
prevail or disapproval 1t Is absolutely GER
tain that unless a revelation of truth has
been made previously in our minds, no
external revelation is possible. For in
that case we would have no criterion to
guide us in distinguishing true from a
false revelation.

TO extend the work to the north and west.
This is part of the first seasons work in

On the morning Of their arrival they
will march to the east front of the Capt.
toll, where they will be met by some of
the members of the agricultural commit
tees and escorted over the building.
There will be three days of sightseeing.
The party is so large that it will have TO
be divided into four sections. and these

of the vote are greatly at variance. His
friends say he is sure OF at least twenty
votes. Those opposed to him refuse to
concede him more than eight.
Many of the governors friends have ex-

not testify and the circumstances sur
rounding his decision not to attempt to
clear himself before the cOurt-if 1t was
