ASSEMBLY DECIDES
AGAINST UNION
southern Assembly Did Not Consider
the Subject.
LITTLE PossIBTLITY OF UNITING
Delegates Cheer Moderator Mark A
Mathews When He Made the
Announcement That There
Would Be No Union.

Atlanta, Ca, May 16.-When pos
sibility of an organized union OF all
branches OF the Presbyterian church
in America was voiced here today in
the sermon by Retiring Moderator
Mark A. Matthews, at the opening
session OF the 125th Northern Pres
byterian assembly, the declaration
was greeted with cheers by more
than 500 commissioners.
Memorials protesting against any
definite action now looking to a
union with any other Presbyterian
Organization we're read at the ses-
sion of the United Presbyterian as
sembly. These protests were based
largely on the fact that the proposed
"basis Of union had not been sub
mitted to the presbyteries were re-
ferred to the committee on union.
No reference to amalgamation was
made in the sermon of Retiring
MOuCI dtOl SiJCC uOAOLO IuO OpChAu6
session of the South Presbyterian
assembly.
A report declaring against the
union of publication and church ex-
tension boards was adopted by the
United Presbyterian assembly.
There is much speculation as to
where the joint gatherings Of the
assemblies and the synod will re-
suit in a joint declaration of faith.
The Southern assembly today did not
consider the subject of union" and
the United Presbyterian assembly
developed opposition. Three presby-
terfes in memorials protested against
any action until the various presby-
teries had considered a proposed
basis Of union.

PRIMARY NOT A SUCCESS.
Taft Says They Are Extreme Mea-
surcs for Political Reform.

New Haven, Conn, May IL
Statewide primaries are extreme
measures for political reform" and
= national primary for the election
of a president and other national
officers rs almost beyond thought
to former President William H. Taft
who today delivered another lecture
lat Yale on "Some Problems of Mod
ern Government" Professor Taft
said. the primary is means of elect
ing good local officials, bnt the
state and national conventions "give
an opportunity for more mature de-
liberation than is possible at the
polls"
Taking up. the subject of bosses,
Mr.. Taft said "they have some re-
dee1ning qualities" and laughingly
referred to himself as having had
the reputation of being one.
The only reason why the gov
eminent of Tammany in New York
has been tolerable is because lead
ers in New York have thought for
public opinion. 1t is a Characters
tic Of ali bosses that they entertain
4 healthy fear of defeat at the polls"

QUESTION CLEARED UP.
Abilene Readers Can No Longer

Again and again we have read Of

But Abilene's pertinent question has
always been HAS anyone here in
Abilene been cured?" The word of
stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but 1t cannot have
the same weight with us as the
word of our own citizens, whom we
know and respect, and whose evil
dence we can so easily prove.
