MISSION Of CHURCH
EVERY UNDERTAKING FOR so.
cIAL RETIREMENT MUST FIND
HER DEEPLY INTERESTED.

Y HAVE been asked about my opin.
ion OF the relation of the church to
speclnc undertakings for social bet
terment. Let me say that today
every movement for commercial in
provement asks for the church's back
ing and frequently seeks to be tag
en- up as the church's own work. Tn
discriminating critics often protest.:
Why are not the churches inYesti-
eating the milk supply, providing
Fairgrounds, graphing with the social
eVlI! etc. There is need for a clear
definition of the church's distinctive
mission.
1t is not its task to supply a whole-
some recreation, or to furnish SAM
tary dwellings. or to sell cheaper gro
ceries, or to provide education for a
community, DR. to take up the scale
OF wages in shops and factories.
Ihere may be-there undoubtedly are
circumstances under which it be.
comes necessary for the church to do
such things, because no other agency
Is meeting an imperative need. A
man lying wounded at the roadside
a claims on priests and Levftes, al
though first aid to the injured is not
their specific vocation. But the
church's proper task, like her Lords,
Is to hold up the ideals, furnish the
motives, and convictions, and provide
the devoted men and women who,
through the state or private compa-
MES or benevolent societies shall rem
der this social service.
And the church's function is to IN
spire, no to direct. The medieval
church undertook to control every de-
partment of human life, croWning and
uncrowning kings, decreeing what rate
of interest was legitimate and what
was usurious. and the like. The church
OF today, with voices on every side
summoning her to undertake this, that,
and the other program of social prog
ress, must remind herself of the
strict limits within which her Lord
confined himself.
Duty Of the Church.
The church has quite enough to do,
has the hardest and biggest of all
tasks to fulfill in furnishing the world
with religion, with principles and
faith, the principles and faith Of the
Son of God. The precise methods by
which they shall be embodied in the
structure of society it is not for her
to say, for she has not been told. She
will be sympathetic with every at
tempt to incarnate Christian ideals;
but her unique function is to proclaim
the ideals, train the men and women
who espouse them, and supply in the
person of her Lord the compelling
power and guiding wisdom for their
embodiment.
The social unrest of today demands
of her intelligent and daring Chris
tan leadership. This unrest is large
ly materialistic in that it is primarily
interested in a juste- distribution Of
wealth; but even so, it is dominated by
a fine ethical idealism. 1t is the
church's duty to ~sympathize with and
hen s~piritualize this discomfort, to
make people FESTIVE because existing
relations are cramping and ruinous to
the consciences and souls of men; to
hold forth plainly the social princi-
pies of Jesus Christ, and above all to
proclaim the living God as the only
adequate architect and builder of the
holy city of our aspirations.-Rev.
Henry Sloane Coffin, D. D.

SUFFRAGE WAR
ON IN LONDON
Women Violently Resent the De-
feat of Franchise Bill
RUSH PARLIAMENT GATES
Begin Campaign of Window Smashing
in London and Dublin-Attack Mail
ed in a Raid on Parliament.

London.-The opening of a cam
paign of wholesale window smashing,
attacks upon mail boxes and other
riotous demonstrations in a battle
line stretching all the way from West
minister to Dublin Castle, was the re-
ply of the militant suffragettes to
what they term the betrayal of their
cause by the Government by the with
drawal of the Franchise bill.
In the course of many tussles some
of the women were severely handled,
and in some instances they were
saved from rough treatment at the
hands of jeerng crowds only by the
tachments of police.
The war of which the women had
warned the Government began with
the attempt of a deputation, which
the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
David Lloyd-George, had refused to
see, to force its way into Parliament
against an overwhelming force of po-
lice.
While these were being placed un-
der arrest for resisting the officers
other bands of women went through
Whitehall breaking the windows of
the Government offices, and through
Cockspur street, where the great
plate glass windows in the establish
ments of shipping companies were
smashed to bits.
The women also visited Oxford, Re.
gent and other streets in the shop
ping district, where similar damage
was done.
Post boxes were attacked and
quantities of liquid were poured into
them.
Twenty-one women were arrested
in the vicinity of the Parliament
building, but were released on bail
after the House rose. Most of the
police stations had one or more pris-
oners charged with destroying prop
erty.
Mrs. Drummond, Sylvia Pankhurst
and four others were arrested. AS
Mrs. Drummond was being led away
she shouted, "Now, you women
smash windows, destroy property"
T~henceforth until the people got
tired of standing in the rain in the
streets around Parliament Square
they watched the women throwing
stones at the windows of the Home
Office, of the Treasury and other Gov
eminent departments.
The crashing of the window panes
attracted a hustling moi of toughs
who also engaged in disorderly tao
tics. The toughs made so much trou
BILE for the suffragettes that three Of
the women gladly accepted escorts Of
police to save them from the violence
of the disordefly male element.
When Mrs. Despard, sister of the
famous cavalry General, Sir Johr
French, and two of her companions
who resisted the police at the Trafal
gar Square meeting were fined SO il
court they refused to pay it. The!
were sent to prison for fourteen days
Mrs. Despard told the Justice tina
she would repeat her offence wher
she served her time.
Dublin.-Irish suffragettes smash
ed windows in the Dublin Castle, the
official residence of the Lord Lieu
tenant of Ireland. Three women were
arrested.

White and Negro Marriage Bill.

The recent discovery in the division
of vital statistics of the State Board
of Health that there is a large in
crease in the number of marriages re-
ported between whites and blacks has
induced State Registrar D. S. South
to take up the matter and draft a bill
for introduction into the Legislature
making it unlawful for any registrar
in the State to issue a marriage Ii
cense for such contracting parties,
and unlawful for any minister or other
persons licensed to perform mar
rage ceremonies to join such parties
in wedlock. The tentative draft of the
bill follows: "A supplement to an act
entitled An act concerning marriages
(revision of 1922 approved March
9th, n thousand. nine hundred and
twelve. Be it enacted by the Senate
and General Assembly of the State of
New Jersey: 1t shall be unlawful for
any public official to issue a license
for the marriage of a white person to
a negro or mulatto, or to issue a Ii
cense for the marriage of a negro or
mulatto to a white person, and it shall
be unlawful for any person, official,
religious society, institution or organ
ization to solemniZe a marriage be-
tween any such persons. Any person
violating any of the provisions of this
act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."

bear that had escaped from it's owner

squirting the juice square into Bruins

Williamson was taking a near cut
back to his camp after having missed
his car and, coming on the bear I'M
expectedly, was unable TO escape. He
was unarmed and started to run, but
Bruin was too quick for him.
The bear put his feet about Will

embrace. He waited his chance, and
when the bear tried to kiss him
spat the mouthful of tobacco into his
eyes. Instantly the bear let loose of
Williamson and beat a hasty retreat.

nemands Of chrlstlan PeopIe.

Christian people Of to-day are not
asking any brief and exact definition
or statement of the relation of Christ
to The Eternal. But they are asking
that there be full and adequate COM
prehension and expression of his mis-
sion to the world, and a sense Of a
grounding in the Infinite of the au-
thority and power which he claimed
to have to take away sin.-The Pa

Hiuh Tide for RAILWAYS.

Railroad revenue for the last year
increased nearly 5 per cent. in this
section of the country. The railway
statistics compiled by the Federal Bu-
e a of Railway Economics reflect the
high tide of business, reports the gov
eminent statistician. In this State,
the railroads declare that they are
doing an enormous business, and as
most of them are coalcarrying and
mine-owning roads, they are having
vast prosperity at present. The Lack
awanna has been declaring extra divi-
dends which astonish the world of
finance. In the face of this they
plead poverty when asked to prevent
the destruction of life by grade cross
ings. 1t seems to be gross butchery of
human being to save railroad money.

A FIGURE.

Not only newspaper men but many
others heard of Philip Gifford's death
with sorrow. He was a church work
er, a laborer for social reform, and a
cheerful figure in all Newark life. The
complete absence of bitterness in his
nature was encouraging to many, who
knew that he had had sorrows and
disappointments beyond the ordinary.
They prefer to speak of his moral
worth and achievements, but in every
daily task he was a conscientious
worker and a man of honor and faith
and loyalty.

Rebuke for Wicked Farmer.

Farmers will no longer be allowed
to prey upon the unsuspecting city
folks. Judge Naar, in Central Police
Court, issued a warning, in which he
said that the cost of living is high
enough for city dwellers without hav-
ing to be yictimized by unscl upulous
farmers who are not satisfied with
getting a good price for their prod
ucts, but insist on giving short weight.
81 will send the next nan that comes
before me for such business traits to
the workhouse, and in that way hope
to put a stop to such methods"

Trolley Improvement.

The trolley terminal plan of the
Public Service Corporation, announced
last week, requires extended study
and will undoubtedly need modifica-
ton, but it is at least a step in the
right direction. The congestion at the
Four Corners must be ended, and
there must be changes in routes to
facilitate the movement of cars. This
can only be accomplished by the use
of some private property. The city of
Newark is willing to grant the COM
pany many privileges in return for
better service for the people, but it
cannot go much further than it has
in the use of the streets. The sub
way system, under city ownership,
presents many obstacles, and the cost
is prohibitive. One feature of the
proposed plan will be accommodation
for those who wait for cars, some
thing which has long been needed.
The whole subject should be consid-
cred with thoroughness, but without
prejudice. The trolley land the city
of Newark have the same interests in
many respects, and there should be
better recognition of the fact on both
sides. This is easier under the more
enlightened policy of the Public Serv-
ice of late and its realization that it
can no longer expect to get something
for nothing.

Tunnel Extension Sure.

The New Jersey Central will I'M
questionably be compelled to extend
to New York City by tunnel to meet
the public needs, and various sites for
a station have been suggested, among
them the excellent one of the Produce
Exchange. If the road to Newark is
electrified and other incidental i'm
provements are made, there is no
doubt hat a large volume of business
may be done. Competition requires
a great deal of railroads, and their
experts have learned by hard expert
ence that the cost of delaying prog
ress has been enormously greater than
any economy could effect.

object is to have school boards get
closer to the people in regard to
school laws. The organization will be
composed of a representative of every
school district in the State. Mr.. Har-

The most important witness of
the morning was N. M. Burdicx,
official photographer of Clinton
penitentiary, New York. Everett
c. Ellis, counsel for the state,
tried to show by his testimony
that Peter Miller, under the name
of Frederick Miller, had been con-
fined in the Clinton prison from
January IS, 1895, to June 20,
1901. Burdick stated that ne
had seen Miller at the peniten-
tiary, that he had known him
quite we'll, and that he had been
"trustie," employed in the cor
respondence department of the
prison. An alleged photograph
of Miller, said to have been taken
at Clinton, was introduced as evi-
dence.
Attorney Glasgow, for the ce-
Tense, tried to disprove the story
related by Burdick. The latter
admitted he had not been employ
ed when Miller was taken in; but
he saw him later. He also ad-
mitted he was a boy of IA or
thereabouts when he first knew
Miller.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-02-14

The city commission took the
light department into its own
hands yesterday afternoon and
voted to go after the business in
Tacoma.
With at least $4,000 horsepow-
er available to sell which ought 20
bring in nearly half a million dol
lars to the city, Commissioners
Nick Lawson admitted that the
city has not signed up a new pow
Ell contract for weeks.
The Stone-Webster people have
been getting the business.
Lawson told the commission he
had been waiting trying to ger
the Stone-Webster people TO agree
to a reciprocaI switch to be used
i'm case of emergency. So he has
done nothing to get the business.
Now he declared he was ready for
war.
Commissioner Freeland several
days ago got hold of new card
of rates being given out by the
Stone-Webster company. 1t made
a mighty cut in rates. The COM
missioners agreed the city would
have to get in and go after the
business. A straight cut was
made in rates, reducing them
about one-half for large consum-
ers and it will be possible FOR
manufacturers now to get current
for less than half a cent a kilo-
watt. This is the lowest rate any,
where in the United States
Lawson was ordered to get out
new card of rates with the re-
ductions noted.
Judge Stiles was called in and
he said the power contracts being
signed up by business men with
the T. r. & P. are not worth the
paper they We're written on. The
city can take the business and the
business men need have no fear of
lawsuits.
The attorney also called atten-
tion to the fact that the Stone
Webster company must make the
same rate in Seattle as Tacoma
and the public service commission
will be brought into the fight to
line up the company which is try
ing to kill municipal ownership
in this city.

BY ROBERT MANSFIELD.

When Miss Billie Burke. the
pretty little Frohman star, whose
writings are delight to women
readers of the Times, comes to
Tacoma soon, she is going to just
simply run this shop-meaning
the Times office-for day.
The Times editor received
letter from the fair Billie
today and we are already be-
ginning to map our things
that she must do for us to
make the Times n real star
studded journal on that aus
piciOus date.
For instance, the fair Billie is
going to write an editorial about
girls who like to read novels and
who refuse to help mother wipe
the dishes.
And that will be a real helpfuI
affair-what?
Then she is going to let our
editor go to the ball game-for
the ball season will be on then
and she is going to hand out the
assignments.
All, what a nice time the
Police Reporter VIII have
telling her of the fancy
dreams he can't put over on
the editor.
And what beautiful va
cashe the Court House Re-
porter will have, stirring
Billie all up with his yarns
about marriage licenses,
damage suits and the gossip
of the big stone building.
l am figuring on going to Puy-
allup or Seattle or SOME other
quiet urban spot and commune
with nature: to list to the lowing
kline and pick butter-cups.
Cynthia Grey will have a day
off,. too, and Billie must answer
all the throbbing, palpitating let
ters that come to the letter box.
1t will be a mighty nice thing
for all of us-when pretty Billie
Burke runs the Times-for one
day only.
Just how Miss Billie will like
to climb out of the eiderdown at
6 a. m. and creep down to the
office to set the forms for the
first edition, we wot not.
Just how she will like to go
out and sass our leonine yet lusty
