LEGISLATION
Topeka Adventists Pass Resolutions
Against 1t.

The local Seventh Day Adventist
church has passed resolution protest
ing against the proposed Sunday legis-
lation now being considered by the
United States senate. The resolution
reads in part:
Whereas, religious legislation is con-
trary both to the spirit and letter of
the constitution of the United States
and If carried to its logical conclusion
means a union of church and state,
and the persecution of dissenters;
therefore,
Resolved: That We respectfully, but
earnestly, demonstrate against the
passage of this bill, or any other bill
requiring the observance of Sunday as
a rest day which may come before the
senate"
Similar resolutions have been passed
in Seventh Day Adventist churches all
over the country, thus showing that
about 10000 members of this denomina-
ton are opposed to the legislation.

merciaI Club.
Systematic Encouragement of
Heavy immigration.
HEAD OFFICE In Topeka
Secretary VIII Occupy Rooms
in State House.
Cooperation With City AssO-
Citations in Kansas.

A state commercial club, to be sail
ed under the title of kansas state
Board of Immigration" is the latest
bill to receive consideration from
committees in the senate. The new
advertising scheme, offered by Senator
James Malone of Rawlins, through re-
quest, is an organized state depart
ment for the purpose of encouraging
immigration to this state.
The state board of immigration, un-
der the provisions of the Malone bill,
would cooperate with the commercial
organiZa tionS of the state and espe-
cially with the merchants associations
of the larger cities including Topeka,
Kansas City, Wichita, Leavenworth,
Atchison, Hutchinson, Salina, and 9TH
er towns where the commercial inter-
ests are supported publicly.
The board would consist of four
members, two elected for a term of
two years and two elected for term
of four years each. These members
at the approval of the house of repre-
sentatives. A secretary at a salary of
$2,50O annually would have offices in
the state house at Topeka.
Deputies in Each District.
The board would have the power
to appoint deputy members in each
congressional district in the state.
These deputies would gather informa-
ton for printing and for the advertis-
ing and publicity of the states re-
sources and advantages.
The first action of the immigration
board would be to gather from the
commercial clubs of the state all the
circulars, folders and advertising
matter concerning Kansas and her
cities, to be used for distribution TO
out of the state persons who were con-
templating removal to Kansas. A
complete collection would be on hand
at all times to be used at the discre-
ton of the secretary in charge of the
work and the office.
The state board of immigration also
would be empowered wit hthe right to
and condemn all municipal
and section advertising matter that
either exaggerated facts or gave in
f1ated statistics on the land values and
the opportunities for imrnigrats or
and industrial con-
Germs.
The board would not confine it's
efforts to landing new inhabitants for
Kansas. 1t would encourage also the
influx of manufacturing institutions.
Every form of agriculture, horticul-
ture, live stock, mining, educational
and climatical advantage would be
furnished to out of state possibilities

EARTH SLIDES STARTED
Canal Workers Have Another Months
Work Ahead.

Washington, Jan. H.-Great earth
slides have started again in Culebra
cut in the Panama canal, according to
information received here today. One
of the slides alone is expected to
throw a million yards of earth and
rock into the canal unless the steam
shovel crews who are working des-
perately succeed in checking it. An
other slide at Cucuracha, which was
supposed to have halted two years
ago, again has begun to move rapidly
and the earth sank four feet in II
minutes on the afternoon on January
2, completely covering two railroad
tracks.
The engineers anticipated these
movements and had allowed for them
in their estimates, but it will take a
full months work of the giant steam
shovels to get rid of the debris

tanned I'm the report of the committee on

worship; that the extent and boldness OF
the white slave traffic has become ap-
paling, even extending into Sabbath
schools and Christian Endeavor societies
The report stated that total OF eighty
seven new members through confession

DR.. Talcott Williams.

The students and teachers from the Co

ed a dinner given in the cafe Boulevard
last night for Or. Talcott Williams, the
director. heard DR. Nicholas Murray But
ler president Of Columbia, relate his own
newspaper experience when, as one Of
four men. he reported Republican ma
tiOnal campaign for The Tribune several
years ago.
Dr. Butler touched upon the relation Of
Journalism to history. referring TO a re-
cent experiment by Colonel Henry Wat
terson
Colonel Watterson." he said. who is
an amusing and enterprising person still.
wrote an article dealing with the condi-
tions leading up to the Liberal Republican
movement in 1872. He sent the article
for rsview to those two noted journalists.
Whitelaw Reid and Horace White. The
two men. who had with him witnessed
the conditions, not only differed with
him. but fatty contradlcted him. so diff
ferently had they seen the situation The
discussion resulted in the last analysis
I'm the determining of the facts in the
case, and these facts became history"
Dr. Butler said that the aim Of jour
nalsm should be TO reach the public
opinion OF the nation and reflect IL.
John ". Cunliffe. associate director OF
the school. said the school would make
for nobler. better journalists. and in this
way for a nobler better commonwealth.
He was followed by John l.. Heaton, OF
THE World" who called DR.. Williams
"a man of many qualifications" "a
scholar among scholars" "a journalist
among Journalists" and "a man among
men"
DR.. Williams said he was satisfied with
the progress OF the school for the year.
He added:
Service is the one call of the jour-
nalist. He must look TO the future for
reward-not for material reward. for his
greatest reward must be derived from
consciousness OF having taken part In
great movements for the common good.
The schools OF Journalism springing up
through the country are fostering this
spirit OF idealism."
