Peanut Rooster Erplosi0n-The blow
ing off of steam by a peanut rooster at
Twelfth and Elizabeth street last night
caused two high spirited horses, owned
by a hack-driver named Ricardo Garcia
to become frightened. The horses were
caught before they were able to break
away, but managed to work themselves
almost out of their harness without
breaking anything. A large crowd was
attracted by the excitement.

Against Changing Name of Church.
To the Editor OF The Star:

AS layman in the Protestant Episco-
pal Church should deplore any change in
the name of that church. We would only
ALLEVIATE all the other larger Protestant
churches and gain no allies. Our denomi-
nation is the smallest among the large
Protestant denominations in this country,
our rate of increase In members and
clergy is smaller and we need the friend
ship and fellowship Of those who have al
ways stood with us and by US. or course.
with DIR. Smith. ! can appreciate his
feeling. for he was OF the English church.
where the layman has little or nothing to
say. In that church not word in the
prayer book could be changed except by
act Of parliament, and the English
Church draws all Its powers from parlia-
ment and this parliament from which 1t
draws Its power Is composed of men Of
every church under the sun and some
agnostics. Our bishops are elected by the
clergy and laymen. the English bishop Is
chosen by the prime minister OF Eng
land. 1t may be Disraeli, Salisbury or
Asquith, and the prime minister need not
be of the Church of England. When Lord
ROsebery was prime minister 1t was
given out to the English press that he
was about to appoint Canon Farrar to
a vacant see. but Lord Salisbury sudden
ly coming into Office by great political
majority. the holy spirit descended on
some one else. We in our Protestant
Episcopal Church do not have our bish-
ops selected by the President or Secre-
tary of State. neither does the Catholic
Church.. nor any Protestant denomination
The high churchman delights to live in
a glamour of ritual ceremony and spicy
fragrance and the low churchman may
prefer simplicity and freedom from pomp
and show. 1t is simply a difference in
disposition. the one with a taste for
aristocracy. the other for democracy,
and yet why cannot both live and wor-
ship under the old name Protestant Epis-
copal The feeling held against the Cath
Ollie Church is mere prejudice. They have
their methods and forms and we have
ours, and We can each follow our own
road with no bad feeling.
The separation and founding of the
English church was rather a political
protest than religious one. 1t was
political movement to throw of SUBJ
serviency to foreign temporal power.
During the reign OF Henry VIII the Cath
Ollie Church held more than one-fifth of
all the land in the kingdom besides vast
wealth in personal property. 1t was the
richest corporation in the kingdom. The
crown was poor and the nobility poorer
and then Henry VIII confiscated this i'm
mense church property and by "a judicious
distribution created and increased a
wealthy aristocracy and filled his own
Golfers. To go back to the Catholic
Church meant the return of much money
and land and 30 every holder became
Protestant to the very marrow of his
bones, and the brief reign OF Mary was

Premier Barthou during the debate told

Of the European situation. The premier
said the government took the fullest re-
sponsibility for this action.
This declaration was followed by an

only made possible by solemn pledges

Added to this was the extreme unpopu-
larity Of the clergy. because of their
excuses and abuses. and this latter was
the PRONUNCIATION of the religious protest
which eventually made the unsta BILE
church begun by Henry VIII the protest
ing Protestant Church later on. This, of
course shook the Catholic Church to it's
very foundation, but eventually made
1t spiritually stronger and poorer.
1t was this new church politically be-
gun by Henry VIII and religiously and
spiritually welded during Edward, Mary
and Elizabeth's reigns. to which We in
America owe our church and which We
laymen and clergy called the Protestant
Episcopal Church. and to change this
name will inspire many of the clergy, but
It will ALLEVIATE and render indifferent

.FAVORS US. OWNERSHIP
OF RAIL WAYS IN ALASKA
Secretary Lane of Interior De-
partment Writes to Sena-
tor Pittman.

Declaring that the construction OF rail-
roads is the only way to make any coun-
try real part of the world. Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department has
written to Senator Pittman. chairman of
the Senate committee on territories APP
proving policy of government railway
system in Alaska He asserted that the
policy of governmental ownership of rail-
! roads in Alaska seems to him to be the
one that will most certainly make for
her lasting welfare.
ITO many of our people, said Secre-
tary Lane in his letter, Alaska is little
more than a land of natural wonders.
here and there dotted with mining camps
and fishing villages. If Alaska is to be
nothing more. 1t Is almost a matter OF In
difference as to who builds her railroads.
have talked with many who know that
country well. and am convinced that we
should think of Alaska as land not only
of mines and fisheries. but of towns.
farms, mills and factories, supporting
millions of people of the hardest and
most wholesome Of the race. II this con-
ception OF possible Alaska is true
one. our legislation should be such as to
most surely bring about this possibility.
and 1t seems to me there is less of haz-
ard as to Alaska's future If the govern
ment OF the United states owns the rail-
roads which will make its fertile interior
valleys accessible from the coast and
bring its coal. iron. copper and other
mineral resources within the reach of the
world.
Policies Change With Conditions.
This Is a new policy for the United
States. Very true. This is new part
OF the United States. And policies prop
erly change with new conditions. The
one determining question in all matters
Of government should be, What Is he
wise thing to do? The ancient method of
opening country was to build wagon
roads. The modern method is to build
railroads. To build these railroads our
selves and control them may be an ex-
pertinent. but such plan does not sus-
gest scandals more shameful or political
conditions more unhealthy than many we
have known in new portions of our coun-
try under private ownership. And in the
end we will be free to establish and main
tain our own chosen relationship be-
tween Alaska and the rest of the United
States unhampered by threats of con-
fiscation or the restraining hand of any
merely selfish influences.
I'VE can only secure the highest and
fullest use of Alaska by making her rail-
ways wholly subordinate TO her industrial
and social life and needs-true public
utilities
