10 the Editor of The Times DISPATCH:
Sir'-Ailow me 10 reply to the gen
tleman In regard to the subject Of can
ital punishment and the Bible. People
are willing to pick phrases here and
there without getting connection or
meaning. Any one that can read Nun
h"rs NNNF. and get lite real meaning
and say that that can be applied TO our
government to-day had better read IL
over again. This chapter was Gods
command to Moses concerning the
lsraelites In this same chapter XXXV
verse e reads: And they shall be unto
YOU cities Of refuge from the avenger:
that the manslayer die not, until he
stand before the congregation in judg-
ment." Docs the gentleman from Rich
inond advocate cities of refuge for
nurderers? Verse 10 reads: THE re-
vengcr of blood himself shall Stay him;
when he meeteth him he shall slay
him" Is that the gentleman's doctrine?
IL so. we need no juries. no courts to
decide for us. The revcneer is enough
Verse 81 reads: Moreover, We shall
take no satisfaction for the life of a
murderer. which is guilty of death: but
he shall surely be put to death" Take
no satisfaction. IT says Yet the gem
tleman uses 1t rs an argument for cap
ital punt shment
This phrase put to death" in my
opinion and ] feel confident ! am not
wrong, means eternal punishment by
God himself for he says that the
mnnslayer die not until he stand be-
fore the congregation in judgment"
That means the manslayer will be put
to death or die by command of God
before tho congregation In Judgment
God simply told Moses to warn the
people that they should not commit
murder. and if they did they would
suffer death or eternal punishment from
God himself.
And from this we conclude God
means eternal punishment and not
death as we term the word nowadays.

we have love. we may serve Him what
ever else we. may lack
1t is all He asks, and it Will do FOR
Him.
We do not need to take an inven

ties to determine whether we can be

to take an inventory of our hearts.
That Will tell us our limit and our
power. Have we love in our hearts
for Him? Then love will find way.
Love alone may not make us preach

We can be. and we may be. IT is

And not only may. but must. Love
brings it's privileges. but it also brings
it's sponsibilitics. Love to Him not
only gives the power to serve. not only

it the highest duty TO serve Him. Love

If we love Christ, there arc Ills

will also feed our own love. For
love is giving. not getting.
Love increases tho spirit OF obc-

The more we love Christ, the more
we will obey Him. and tho more we
obey, the more VIC will love Him.

Leaders Hope to Stick to
Tariff In Extra Session

members who may not be disposed to
support the tariff program. Speaker
Cannon and bis leaders did that same
thing four years ago. but the results
were not very satisfactory. Men who
did not support the program were pun
ished. but they are still in congress.
The prOba Utilities are that II the COM
mittees are not appointed 1t will be
for the purpose Of preventing other
legislation than the tariff.
The rule which the Democratic eau
Gus adopted giving man only one
place on the dozen most important
committees will have the effect Of
making committee assignments less
important than before. No matter
what a man does he il almost sure to
get some kind Of committee place
under the new rule.
Panama Canal Tolls.
So earnest has become the move
ment in favor OF repeating the law
which allows free tolls for American
coastwise shipping through the Pana-
ma canal that we are sure to see a
very strong effort to have the law
changed. II there are no committee
assignments made it will be very hard
to get any such measure before the
house unless there should be an over
whelming sentiment in favor Of repeal,
in which event the majority can take
the bit in its teeth and run away with
the house and its leaders.
At present it does not look as IL
there will be any such demand for ac-
ton on the canal tolls as to cause ex-
traordinary action in the extra session.
The Budget System.
During the days when there will be
nothing but talk in one house or the
other a committee of the Democratic
caucus of the house will try to work
out a plan for budget system look
ing to the reduction of appropriations.
AS planned at present 1t is proposed
to have all the chairmen Of commit
tees handling appropriations formed
into a budget committee This COM
mittee will meet and appOrtion to each
committee the amount Of money it
should spend each session. The COM
mittee would be under moral obliga-
tons to keep within the amount ap-
portioned. That will work out for the
house If the members Of the house are
satisfied. but the senate will go right
along making its increases. and the
budget plan will fail.

President Wilson Would Like
to Have Congress Act on
Currency, but There Are
Many Difficulties In the
way-Question Of Philip
pine Independence May
Also Get Consideration.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

If the leaders have their way the
extra session Of congress will confine
It's time and energy to tariff legisla-
ton only The president would like
to have currency legislation. and II
it can be accomplished without in
terfering with the course OF the tariff
bills currency legislation will be push
ed. But there will be much difficulty.
No one knows just what kind of mon
ey laws should be passed. Unlike the
ton. and what might happen in case
all the currency doctors" should put
forth their various nostrums no one
can tell.
Chairman Glass Of the banking and
currency committee in the house has
ready to bring it forward If President
Wilson gives the word. The Demo
Gratis of the senate have shown their
interest in the subject by creating Il
banking and currency committee which
will not be entangled with the tariff
y
can he considered without interfering
with the tariff. but it will extend the
session longer than the leaders desire.
Philippine indepe ndence.
Philippine independence is as manda-
tory upon the party as the tariff be-
cause the four last Democratic plat
forms have declared strongly for sep
arating the islands from the United
States IT is believed that the new add

If anything will be done at this SEES

President Wilson will probably send
his own appointees into the islands to
ascertain what is the present situation

INTEREST IN THE SESSION.
For the First Time In Many Year,
Democrats Control.

For the First lme IN Wany teATs
Democratic Control.
Elements in the extra session OF con-
gress are unusual President Wilson
has called the great body together at a
time when his party has absolute con-
troll of every branch Of the govern
ment relating to legislation.
This has not been the case before In
twenty years. During that period OF
long ago when the Democrats were In
power President Cleveland called an
extra session. but the conditions were
vastly different from now.
The extra session under President
Wilson Is remarkable because the law
makers to a large extent are men OF
comparatively recent rise to promi-
nence. Because Of the fact that the
Democratic party is providing change
from Republican rule for the first time
In sixteen years great interest Is cen
tered upon the doings of congress.
Virtually a new generation of legis-
iators has sprung up. With but a very
few exceptions there are no men who
figured in congressional doings Of
twenty years ago who are sharing the
responsibilities of the body now.
OF only one thing has the public been
absolutely certain, and that Is that the
tariff would be first and foremost
among the subjects for work by the
legislators, and that revision downward
would be the purpose. The legislators
themselves have not known Just how
the revision is to be managed. and 1t
has been we'll understood that they
would not all be pleased over all

have become feared.

The fates were eager to give Burg

With q tall figure erect, his head

But tho commanding general vowed
that his commission should come as
