CHURCH WAS A LAWBREAKER
Congregation Learns Its Business Has
Been Transacted In an Illegal
Manner.

Independence, Kan.-An. incorpor-
ated concern doing business in the
state OF Kansas without charter is
not often found, but in this city there
Is one, 1t is the First Presbyterian
church, which has not had a charter
for at least twenty-three years, II
ever. In the meantime the trustees
OF the organization have as a board
representing the church bought and
sold real estate and erected two build
ings, handsome church building and
a manse. A meeting was held last
Thursday evening at which 299 mem
bers OF the congregation were rep
resented, either In person or by proxy
and application was made for new
charter. This charter will legalize
the acts of the trustees since the ex-
piration of the original charter, which.
II one ever existed, expired in 1890.
The church was organized In this
city In 1870. 1t is the opinion Of the
charter members, only two Of whom
are now alive, that a charter was
secured at that time. but II SO, 1t has
been lost and has not been seen for
more than a quarter of century.
The absence of a charter was dis
covered few weeks ago by one of
the oldest members, and steps were
Immediately taken to obtain a new
charter Since the expiration OF the
old charter the trustees of the church
have sold the property on which the
first church building was erected and
purchased another lot, erected new
building 1T cost of about $4,000 and
furnished y and have beef using 1t
Tor more than uozen Years. ki-
other lot was purchased snme years
i, ago and parsonage was directed at
cost OF several THOUSAND dollars.
The acts of the trustees in'these mat
tiers were entirely Illegal, according to
good authority, and 1t is claimed that
securing a new charter will legalize
these acts and also place the church
organization in position to sue and
be sued, although the officers and the
members of the church are not look
ing for anything of the kind to hap
pen, as none of them are seeking law
suits.
OF the charter members OF this
church only Mrs. J. b. Craig and Mrs
B. F. Devore remain. Mrs. Craig q
husband was the first mayor Of indie
pendence, and Mrs. Devore's hus
band, with Judge Craig. was one oil
the founders of the town Of indie
pendence.

DO LITTLE TALK|NG|
verbomania a Most Dangerous
and Insidious Disease.
Preventive Measures Urged for NAL
ady Most Frequently Found Among
the Feminine sex-view Of
Russian WsEter.


New York.-Verbomani isn't new
disease-in fact. it is ancient-but its
terrible dangers to society are Just
beginning to be realized, says Ossip
Lourie, a Russian writer, in an ar
ticle ranking excessive talking as a
dangerous disease and a menace to
civilization.
Civilization is responsible for It. in
his opinion, and nothing but a strenu.
GUS regime to enforce temporary
silences on those afflicted can stop its
dreaded rayages. And he urges hui
manity to iraugurate a campaign
against verbosity lust as 1t wages war
against tuberculosis and against ex-
cessive alcoholism.
Progress Is decidedly hindered, he
goes on to say, by this prevalent vice,
and he urges the immediate attention
of the teacher and the minister and
the doctor. According to his theory,
human language developed from signs
into articulate speech and then was
| fixed by writing. Then people, like
the pianists who can render difficult
compositions without thinking about
them, acquire the power to talk, with
out thinking about what they were
| saying. So words become possible
| without ideas in the mind OF the
speaker.
II it were impossible to speak with
out thinking, Mr.. Lourie insists that
the greater part of mankind would
! grow dumb in few years. For far
from being creatures that think men
are nothing but animated talking ma
chimes" They carry within them
selves the principal of verbal move
ment. which is determined by power
over which they have no control
When the words become divorced
from the idea talking becomes patho-
logical, disease for a mans intelli-
gence is not measured by the number
of words he speaks, but according to
his power Of comprehension. Idiots
frequently express themselves with
great facility, while men of genius
are often able to talk in only the most
poverty-stricken terms.
Verbomania. he insists. affects mum.

Employ the Vacant Hours.

Overcome evil with good. Rom.
1921.
Leisure misused, an idle hour wait
ing to be employed, idle hands with
no occupation, idle and empty minds
with nothing to think of-these are
the main temptations to evil. Fill up
that empty void. employ those vacant
hours, occupy those listless hands;
the evil will depart, because 1t has nc
place to enter in, because it is con-
quered by good. The best antidote
against evil of all kinds, against evil
thoughts that haunt the soul, against
the needless perplexities which dis
tract the conscience, is to keep hold OF
the good we have. Impure thoughts
will not stand against pure words and
prayers and deeds. Little doubts will
not avail against great certaintles-
Fix your attention on things above,
and then you will be less and less
troubled by the cares, the temptations.

WARFARE OF OTHER DAYS
Described In Lecture by Professor
Delbrueek Of Berlin
University.

London.-Warfare OF other days
was described in a fascinating lecture
on Numbers in History" recently at
the University college by Prof. Hans
Delbrueck, professor of history at
the University of Berlin
Professor Delbrueck said the first
point to which In any history of war
they had to direct attention was the
number of the warriors. 1t was rec
ognized fact that Moltke displayed
great genius in 1870 when he directed
a monstrous mass Of his troops from
one center. drew them up abreast and
made them act together In battle.
To direct such a mass unitedly was,
even with railways, roads, telegrapbs
and general STAFF, an exceedingly DIFF
ficult task.
Armies, however, demanded not
only to be moved, but also to he fed,
and even for this side of campaigning
later war history. such as the pro-
visioning OF Bazaine's army in Metz,
gave us measures of which we could
make use for older times.
Herodotus related that 100000
men was the strength of the army Of
Xerxes. II that were true one might
calculate that the last men could only
have left Susa beyond the Tigris
when the first arrived before Their
mopylae The plain of Marathon was
SO small that so years ago a Prussian
STAFF officer who visited 1t wrote with
some establishment that a Prussian
brigade would scarcely have room
there for exercises.
