BURRELL'S COMMENT IS
CRITICISED BY AMERICANS

Rev. DR., David James Burrell, minis
ter OF the Collegiate system of Re
formed churches New York, and this
years president of the Presbyterian
Alliance of the world, has just given
at his annual alliance address at
Aberdeen, Scotland a description OF
religious conditions in America, and in
the Presbyterian and Reformed
churches. that is being criticized Sc
Ferely and Is even said to be quite
vide OF the truth. He told the Pres
byterians of the rest of the world at
Aberdeen through the Alliance and at
London through the daily newspapers,
that there is wide lamentation in
America. that accessiOns to churches
are smaller. that ritualism is rampant,
that emOtionalism and mysticism sit by
while souls perish and that social ser
vice just now the popular form OF
Christian work, is false to Christ He
wants an immediate return to the
revivalism Of 80 years ago.
Christian leaders on this side, while
wary of saying much until they know
just what president Burrell really says
in full, declare they hear no lamenta-
ton, that accessions to churches are
up to the average of the past 25 years,
that there is no growth of rltualism,
that so far from inactive mysticism
there is now more personal unsalaried
work by Christian men and women
than ever, and that America does not
want a return to the old sensational
evangelism, but instead a forward
movement Of the present fairly well
balanced propaganda and excellent
team work Of propagandists- Bishop
GailOr. of Tennessee, Rev. DR.. J. VIII
bur Chapman and others, proclaim
these and similar sentiments concern
at all as they see them. while others
disagree totally and chiticise openly
the description or themselves and their
work given by DR.. Burrel.

FOR SUNDAY RACING
Rev. Perry J. Rice Charac-

During the course Of his morning
sermon at the First Christian church
Sunday, Rev. Perry J. Rice scored the
city authorities for permitting racing
at Washington Park Sunday.
Speaking of the work of the Chris
tan EndeaVOrerS throughout the cOun-

to the authorities and cleaned up worse
cities than this, and that was some
WORK 1ney nave protested against
Just such things as scheduled for
Washington Park That is the only
park we have, but they keep horses
out there and breed flies in order that
they may have such disgraceful gOings
on as will occur today. And this is
done with the sanction of the authori-
ties. In other cities they have in
formed the chiefs Of police and the
mayors that if the law is violated in
this manner arrests will be made and
thereby they have put a stop to just
such performances"

INDIAN POLICY
TO BE CHANGED
Secretary of Interior Would Set Them
Free to Handle Their Own Al
fairs as FnsT as Possible.


Free TO Handle Their Own Al
fairs as Fnss as Possible.
Washington, D. c., July 21-Secre-
tary of the interior Lane says that the
chief trouble with the indian problem
is that it has no consistent philosophy
either as to legislation or as to admin
istration touching indian affairs; that
the indian bureau should be a vanish
ing bureau; that the greatest service
that can be done the indian is to set
him free, if he has an education.
These sentiments are expressed in a
letter sent by the secretary to con-
gresham Scott Ferris. of Oklahoma,
with reference to a proposed commits
sion to investigate the indian service.
Secretary Lane says further.
''An examination should be made into
indian affairs an 1t should be most
searching. I am satisfied that II viii
be easy to discover large number Of
wrongs that have been done the indians
and certain and serious defects in our
method of handling them. These con-
ditions have arisen, no doubt from
various causes, but from my investlga-
ton of the matter. i have reached the
conclusion that the primary cause is
that We have had no consistent philOsO-
ply either as to legislation or admin
istration touching indian affairs, and
have reposed the duty OF administering
this most difficult OF all bureaus upon
men whose tenure Of office is uncertain
and too short, and whose compensation
response iiities that are assOCia.ed with
the position.
Instead of a temporary commission.
which can, I fear, do little more than
unearth the various matters Of scandal
in the various agencies, some OF which
are now being examined into, 1 trust
congress will see fit to establish q
permanent commission, which shall su-
persede the present system of admin
istratiOn and be granted the fullest
power necessary to reorganize the
bureau.
The reorg anization which I here
suggest should be based upon the the
DRY that the grea test service we can
do for the indian is to set him free.
The indian bureau should be a van
ishing bureau. 1 am satisfied from
what examination l have made that
there are tens of thousands Of So
called indians whose property to
greater or less degree is under the con-
troll Of this bureau who are as compe-
tent to attend to their affairs as any
men or women of the white race"

INVENTS MACHINE THAT

Government Officials Take Charge OF
Invention Of Prisoner, Held at
Salt Lake for Threatening Life
Salt Lake City, Utah. July 21-In
the presence of electrical experts, fed
eral officers and detectives here was
demonstrated what was declared to be
perhaps the most remarkable death
dealing machine invented in recent
years. The invention, the work of w.
L Cummings, % years old, who con-
fessed to federal and municipal Off
GERS when he was arrested that he
had threatened to use It to destroy
Miss Dorothy Bamberger, wealthy So
ciety girl, unless she gave him $1,000
After the demonstration, government
officials took possession Of the inYen-
ton.
What is held to be of more import
ance, the invention, it is said, can be
turned to the saving of life by pre-
venting train or ship collisions
In his acknowledged letter to Miss
Bamberger, Cummings sent diagram
of his invention, saying that he could
place suit case of nitro glycerin, nj
her room and explode it from a dis
lance. The demonstration today, say
the electrical experts. proves that he
could have accomplished this.
In speaking Of his invention as he
sat in his cell. Cummings said the at
tachment could be installed in loco
motive cabs where it would give a
positive signal If a train ran past a
closed block signal In a war, he said,
mines could be exploded without wire
alta hment
The prisoner told the police he had
Deen induced TO try to blaCkmail Miss
Bamberger by two other men. who he
believed were members of New York

SUMMER CONFERENCES
ARE LARGELY ATTENDED

Reports from the summer schools
and conferences, west and east, ind1-
cate unusually large enrOlments- The
season of 1912 was one of the worst
these schools and conferences ever
went through. A reaction seems to
have set in. Chautauqua has, in its
school, a considerable growth in num-
bers, Mortified started 20 percent
ahead of last year, and the Missionary
education movement and student con-
ferences in the west and southwest
show 10 to IS percent increase, with
many inquiries for the balance of the
season. Conductors of these enter
prises. and secretaries of religious So
cieties which depend largely upon
them for educational work are jubi-
liant.
The topics being put forward at
these schools and conferences this sea-
son are social service and religious
education, the greater emphasis on the
first named, with some attention to
political socialism. There is no let up
however, on the old presentation Of
missions In missions China is easily
in the forefront of attention.

HIGHS AND LOWS IN THE EPISCOPAL
CHURCH BITTER IN FIGHT OVER NAME
Dissatisfaction Expressed Over Way Low Church Fight
Is Conducted; Standard of Excellence Is Imposed
Upon Baptist Young Peoples Societies; the
Summer Conferences Well Attended.

The controversy between Highs and
Lows in the Episcopal church over the
dropping of the words Protestant
Episcopal" and making the name here
after the American Catholic church
Grows more bitter as the general con-
vention date approaches. A new ele-
ment has come into the situation
through the resignation OF the editor
of the "Churchman," the New YORK
Episcopal organ, which is holding up
the Low church side There are ru-
mors of dissatisfaction with the way
the Low church fight has been waged,
and of internal differences of views
expressed by upwards of dozen
strong men, cleric and lay, who are
managing the paper The editor, Rev.
Herbert 3. GWyn, resigned a chicago
rectorship only few months ago, ana
is now looking for a new job The Low
church leaders declare that II the
Highs succeed in putting through the
American Catholic" name the EplS-
copal church will be split in two.
The "Churchman" is privately owned,
and a few months ago was purchased
by some clergymen and laymen, all OF
them prominent in New York and ma
tiOnal Episcopal affairs. Always on
the Low side. it has been depended on
in this controversy; a controversy that
creates so all confess, one of the most
critical eras the Episcopal church in
America has ever known. There is
Southern Churchman" published at
Richmond, and strong throughout the
south, but the "Churchman" of New
York and the Living Church" Of
Milwaukee. are regarded as the real
champions. The weakening of the Low
church organ has brought trepidaiOn
to the party that desires the name to
remain what 1t now is. The war
proceeds week after week without sug-
gestion OF compromise even for peace.
Deputies TO the convention are being
sounded as to their views and prob
able votes. The "Churchman" has
temporary editor and the Lows are
keeping up their end Of the contro-
yersy in crippled fashion.

Thursday, Nov. 20, 1913.

In an editorial in the Progressive
Farmer of last week we noticed that
Editor Clarence Poe rather advocated
the taxing of unimproved lands and
reducing the assessments on improve
ments. That system would possibly
be a good thing in some towns and
communities where parties hold prop
erty for higher prices and will not
sell, even at a reasonable price, to
those who would improve 1t, and
yet they will make no Improvements
themselve. We don't know how this
plan would work out, but we certain
ly would like to see it tried in South
Carolina, for here we tax mans en-
ergy and improvements. 1t would
seem to be a good principle of gov
ernment that if a property owner
would not sell to some enc who
would improve it, that he should be
taxed because of his lack of progress

If Your Liver Gets Lazy You Need
Liver Tonic, Not Merely Laxa-

Many people take a simple laxative
when the liver gets sluggish rather
than take calomel, which they know
to be dangerous. But mere laxative
will not start a sluggish liver. What
is needed is tonic that will liven up
the liver without forcing you to stay
at home and lose a day from your
business.
You have such a tonic in Dodson S

must be all they claim for it because
they guarantee it to take the place of
dangerous calomel and agree to hand
back the money with smile to any
person who tries Dodson's Liver Tone
and is not satisfied with the relief it
gives.
Dodson's Liver Tone is harmless

and is prompt and reliable remedy
for constipation biliousness, sour
stomach, and the other troubles that
come from torpid liver.

Logic i'm Railroad Rates.

A veteran traffic man for one OF
the important railroads of the United
States says: What is needed more
than anything in the readjustment
of freight and passenger rates is a
little bit of logic, 1t is scarcely logi-
cal to allow some travelling freight
men to make a rate between two
points on certain freight subject to
the approval of the general freight
agent alone and at the same time to
require the president of the railroad
to sign a requisition for feather
duster
From another point of view it
does not seem logical to place the
burden of increased rates on one
particular class of freight without in
creasing all rates. The burden must
be distributed. 1t isn't logical to
charge the passenger without bag
gage the same rate as the man with
two trunks or other pieces of lug
gage. Neither is it logical to charge
the same rate per mile to passenger
in a light coach that is charged to the
passenger in the heavy steel Pullman
car. Rates should be made Scientifi-
cally under the direction of the high
est traffic officer of any railroad line. -
