Evangelist Taylor At TT
 Christian Church.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"
 This question, from the Psalms, Evangelist Taylor put before his audience for careful consideration last evening at the Christian church. Then letting Gods own word give the answer, 'Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor", Mir. Taylor in very ! forceful way commented upon the beautiful dignity and God likeness of man as he comes from the Creators hands, and as the Father in heaven intends him to be. But man has a part to play. He must sustain this dignity unto which he is an heir, that the image of God stamped upon him in the beginning may not be erased.
 The address of the evening fur ther showed how this responsi- bility of man to appreciate and maintain the high estate where unto he is born, is in nowise les sened by the fact that the man remains out of the church. The civil law does not excuse man who has stolen, just because he does not pretend to be an hon. est man. Neither does God eX- cuse the thief just because he does not pretend to be a Chris tian.
 But the church of God through Christ, who is the door of en- trance, is ever open to those who acknowledge their dependence upon God and wish to have part in the beautiful relations which the Father wills should ever exist between Him and His children.
 All the points in MT. Taylor's argument were logical, were forcefully put, and were cllnch- ed with an aptness of illustra- tion which one seldom hears from public speaker.
 You people of Newport, who- ever you are, if you missed this sermon, missed splendid dis course. And all these thoughts are, of necessity, vastly weaken ed in the reporters re-telllng them. Come this evening and hear the address first hand. Ii you sing, come and join in the singing. Good music is a help full part of each service. If you do not sing, come and aid with your presence.
 The invitation is open to all, the Christians and the uncon- verted-come and bring some one with you.

Both Want
 Freight Rebates
Wholesale and Retail Lumber men Contesting for Pos session Gf Bills of
 Lading.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 2O.-Special Master J. C. Wallace has an- nounced that he will render an opinion in the dispute between wholesale and retail lumbermen, who are contesting over the re- bates due from the railroads, on "Wednesday morning. It is thought that he will declare the wholesalers, who are now in possession of the bills of lading, for the lumber shipments, entit- led to the rebate and permit the case to go on to the United States Circuit Court on ap- peal. No matter what the de- cision, the case is destined to go to the higher court, and for this reason, Judge Wallace is not expected to give the matter the consideration demanded if l his decision was final.
 The retailers, if anything, have the preponderance of the evi- dence so far as taken. They claim the wholesalers added to the freight when the rates went up, and not to the price of lum- Der, and that all lumber was sold at the mills. The whole salers assert the lumber was all sold delivered to the retailer. In answering the retailers under take to show that the wholesal- CTS, all interested in tap line roads, testified in the Interstate Commerce hearings, that their interest in the lumber ceased when delivered to the railroad. The retailer further denies the claim of the wholesaler that they advanced their prices and forced 1 the consumer to pay the increas- ed rate, by declaring the retailer t! does not advance his selling price unless the change warrants an additional S1 per thousand feet. 1 The advance in freight rates was only about 50 cents per thous- and, so this came off the profit of the retailer in most cases. The retailers also showed cases where the wholesaler had re- fused to stand for loss in trans it, and the retailer had to take the matter up with the railroad.
 Only about $10O is represent ed in the litigation, which is be- ing made a test case, but there is s3OO,0OO involved in the whole question.
 The retailers contesting are: Beebe Hardware Company and David Thornton, Beebe; Conway Lumber Company, Conway; w. T. Mosely, Morrilton; East Ar kansas Lumber Company, Para gould; Arkmo Lumber Company, Little Rock; and the Retail Lumber Dealers Association o1 Arkansas. The case for the wholesalers is being fought out by attorneys for the Wisconsin
 Arkansas Lumber Company Waldo; Long-Bell Lumber Com pany, Pine Bluff; Fordyce Lum- her Company, Fordyce; Free
 man-Smith Lumber Company
 Millville; Southern Lumber Co., Warren; A. J. Neimeyer Lum,

FAvORS APPRENTICESHIP
FOR TRAINING OF BOYS
Dr.. Beckwith Would Have System
in the United
States.

Revival of the apprenticeship system in
some form in the United States is advO-
Gated by DR.. Holmes Beckwith of the
United States bureau of education. in a
report to the bureau just issued DR..
Beckwith's conclusions are based on a
frst-hand study of the system employed
In Germany, and he urges the need of in
dustrial schools TO supplement the sys-
tenn.
.Wasteful though the Old apprentice
ship was of the apprentice time and eff
fort" says DIR. Beckwith. apprenticeship
in it's newer forms, both in Germany and
i'm the United States, has in 1t much OF
promise for the future training of in
dustrial workers. No better way, nor
even so good. has yet geen devised for
the main training of the mass of indus
trial workers than in the shops where
they are employ ed and by those who su-
pervise the work.
The investigator sets forth that the
cost of re!ntroducing the system would be
inexpensive If individual employers bore
the cost of adequate training for their
Youthful workers. Specialization in train
ing is frowned upon by DR.. Beckwith.

broadened To this end he advocates a
greater number of industrial schools.
