MAKES STRONG PLEA
FOR CHANGE OF TITLE
Declares This Is an Age Of Progress
In Church as Well as
State

To the Editor: Referring to Rev. DR..
McKim's letter in your issue of the 10th
instant, relating to the change of title
OF the church. in which he stated that
the clerical and lay delegates to the
general. convention in October were op-
posed to it:
/ know that two of the clerical dele
gates are in favor of making the change,
but probably did not think the time ripe
for 1t just now. / also know that a large
number of clerical and lay delegates at
the late diocesan convention were in
favor of it.
Churchman it is stated that the Cali
fornia diocesan convention unanimously
instructed their delegates to vote for the
change at the general convention in Octo-
Der. and all the church papers have been
full of letters from every section of the
country. pro and con, so that 1t will be
seen that. the question of a change is
being seriously considered.
We live in a progressive age. The
change is bound to come, and will not
down by any means. 1 remember over
forty years ago there was hardly a vest
ed choir in the church, at least in the
Maryland Diocese before a division was
made of the same, nor was there a rising
posture of the congregation at the collec-
ton of the aims or offerings at the offer
tory, as an act OF worship: and yet when
they were first mOoted strong opposition
was made to those advocating them;
ribald remarks and sneers were INDUCED
in-the same now as It was then.
Even Rome. following the progressive
spirit of the age adopted a vested choir
in two of its churches in this city.
The word Protestant" served its use
in its day, and should be dropped from
the title. The word Protestant was
first made use of at the Lutheran Coun-
Gil, held at Speiers, about the year l529,
in the reform movement, protesting
against the errors of Rome. but the Luz
therans did not style their church as the
Protestant Lutheran Church.
The Protestant bodies outside of our
own communion will appreciate and I'M
derstand why we want to make the
change. We are not any more protest
ant than they are. We have no especial
claim or trademark for the use of the

How the "Sick Man" Solves Problems.

Rumors are rife at Constantinople
that Sultan AIahomet V has insisted
several times of late upon abdicating
The heir to the throne of the sublime
porte, Youssouff Zeddin, however, is
unwilling to assume the responsibilities
of the reign at this difficult juncture
In his estimation a change at the pres
ent moment would be very unwise
The government, on the other hand
dare not intrust the throne to any one
else. But should Kiamil Pasha return
to power, which is not at all improba-
bic, common report has il that the
venerable grand vizier favors Prince
Vakdeddin. The best classes in the
Ottoman Empire would choose Prince
Medjid, the third in the order of sue
cession. He is high minded and cru
dite, but not a strong man politically.
The enlightened Turks are beginning
to despair of the salvation of the coun-
try. Things are going from bad to
worse. Mahmoud Shefket, the present
premier, has forbidden the former
Grand Nizier Kiamil Pasha and the ex-
president of the senate. to re-enter the
country.
The impression among the accred-
tied Europeans is that something is
happening" behind the scenes at the
Yildiz Kiosk-the usual solution of
political problems at the Bosphorus-
and that serious news may be looked
for at any moment.

RAMPANT MILITARISM.

FIum Philadelphia Record.
While the prospect of an early peace
in the disturbed regions of Europe is
favorable, the great powers are acting
as though they were on the eve of
general war. II is reported that the
rehabilitation of the Austro-Hunga-
rian and Russian armies, which have
been concentrated on the frontiers for
the past six months, is abOut'to begin.
The fact of mobilization has been Wig
orously denied on both sides, and the
present reports not only prove these
denials to have been equivOcal, but it
is intimated that the mobilization will
merely be partial. Italy is strength
ening her frontier garrisons. and the
Italian outlet of the Simplon Tunnel
under the Alps has been mined. as
though an invasion was expected. The
French government has asked credit
of S1OO.O00,OO0 for the purchase of new
arms; and to top il all comes the Ger
man project of army increase at an
expenditure of s250,OO0,0Oo.
To say that the German nation has
been stunned by the proposal would be
to put 1t mildly. 1t is intended to raise
the billion marks required for military
expansion by a recurring levy" OF
half of one per cent on private for
tunes, which levy is everywhere re-
rarded as war tax and is described
in the public press as an indication of
armament drunkenness" Whether all
these things are indicative of anything
more than an acute stage of the long
prevalent militarist madness, who can
tell?

Timely Discussion of
A Weighty Subject.

The Pneumatic Tire is a chunk
Of atmosphere surrounded by trou-
bic. In shape it resembles the W k.
dOughnut, but lacks the latter's
staying qualities. Although it is not
magnetic, it will attract tAcks as a
beer sign attracts the little German
Band. II also has a great affinity for
bright bits Of glass; but when II
cannot run across glass it is satisfied
with anything sharp. To keep a tire
from lodging down an alley after a
nice nail, when the rest of the outfit
has made up its mind 10 stay on the
Avenue, peculiar and mysterious de
signs are cut into its outer surface.
There are different species of these
rlnes. varying with the occupation
or idiosyncrasy of the owner. Thus
a sausage manufacturer uses festOons
or gaTlands and ETankfurters: a Jew
eler. chains of wedding rings, and
a musician alternating treble and
bass clefS. Recently patents on
suffragcette tire have been applied
for. This clever device consists Of
an ordinary tire on which the words
Vote for Women" are raised in
bold relief. 1t has a self-inking at
tachmGnt. and it is claimed that it
will deeply impress all who come
in contact with il with the weight
Of the suffrage movement. Repair
ing a puncture is not nearly so hard
work as most people make believe.
To repair one, stop the machine and
lift the hood. This has no direct
bearing on the runcture, but the
hood should always be lifted for
moral effect. Then make a few in
innate remarks concerning the max
eTs Of the tire. and put few sticks
of dynamite around the rim Of the
wheel. Touch of. This loosens the
tire and diyerts the crowds inter
est. Strain the residue into the ton
neau and drive to the nearest gar
age. Remember. no matter where
you are, there MUST be n. nearest
garage. Following these directions,
you will conserve much time and
nervous energy.

Poor Plaintiff Bests Corporation.

The decision rendered by the Su-
which the constitutionality of the In,
diana employment liability law is up
held, is of Importance, not only to that
State, but to all others who have en-
acted such laws. The mere fact that
technicalities were swept aside en-
courages the opinion that the efforts of
States 40 hold employers responsible
under certain conditions are not multi
fed by Federal act which has been
declared void.
The case is that of Haynes L. Hack
EFT. switchman. of Monon, VS. the
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville
Railroad. Hackett, while in the dis
charge of his duties. was run down
by train, and both his legs were cut
off The accident occurred early in
1907 and suit was brought against the
railroad under the Indiana employers
liability act. 4 petition OF the railroad
that the case be tried in a Federal
court was denied and resulted in a
trial in an Illinois court.
Hackett won, the jury fixing the
award at $4,000. The Illinois appellate
court affirmed the verdict, and the
railroad appealed to the Supreme
Court. The railroad alleged that the
Indiana law had been superseded by
Federal employers liability law. This
point the Supreme Court disposed of
with the statement that, as the Fed
eral law was void, it could not have
superseded anything Another state
ment was that the Indiana law was in
contravcntion of the fourteenth amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, but
this was not recognized either by the
court. The "fellow-servant' rule also
entered into the case, and the question
OF hazardous and nonhazardous" en-
ploymcnt. The Federal Supreme Court
took Hacketts view as 10 the railroads
responsibility Hackett lost his legs
because OF negligence on the part OF
his yard foreman By the courts de-
cision this legless switchman is to re-
ceive the original claim of $4,000 with
an additional 5000 interest. 1t is a
case where a poor plaintiff has fought
his way through three courts to VIC

An Amazing Attempt at Coercion.

There is such a thing as going too
far. even with the best of intentions,
and it appears that Secretary Redheld
is doing it in his threat of what would
be the result if the business men OF
the country would reduce wages in re-
taliation for a lower tariff. Here Is
what he says:
II YOU >ay to me. This tariff cut
you propose will ruin my business,
and ! say to YOU. Il have a staff of
200 efficiency experts who will exam
inc your business for you and 1t won't
cost you cent. what are you gong
TO say about that:
The public mind no longer regards
business as a matter chiefly the con-
Germ of him who owns that business.
Operating with bad equipment, with
unscientifc treatment OF material. with
antiquated methods. in poor locations,
with insufficient capital and generally
ineffective management will not be es-
teemed a satisfactory reason for re-
ducing wages 1t must be remembered
that the existence OF a condition does
not necessarily justify that condition.
This. in answer 10 merchants and
manufacturers. who are inquiring OF
him "a to the rumored policy OF the
administration toward industry. If, as
he SAYS. he has set himself the task OF
helping American industry, the queS-
ton is permitted whether the time has
come when in the Office OF each bust
ness man is to be found a paid agent
OF the Federal government, demanding
as his, right to audit the accounts? Is
every 'manufacturing plant in the United
States TO be regulated by the depart
ment in Washington? This looks like
an attempt at controlling wages and
prices. Books are to be at the disposal
OF these government agents. Business
secrets must be laid bare to men whose
knowledge OF the industry under inves-
tigation may be nil Then prices,
profits. even earnings, are to be dis
cussed and possibly attacked, before the
owners OF a plant who, perhaps, en-
ploys 10000 men. may be permitted"
to cut the wage OF his office boy.
OF course. Mr.. Redheld is but the
mouthpiece OF Congress, and interprets
the position taken in the House by Mr.
Underwood and in the Senate by Mr..
John Sharp Williams as the result OF
the tariff revision.
Here i the dominant party. through
its most prominent leaders, making a
covert threat against any manufacturer
who shall feel compelled to lower
wages under a reduced tariff. This is
coercion in its worst shape, And Mr..
Redheld calls this helping industry"
Is the entire industry OF this coun-
try to become a mere adjunct to some
Federal bureau? Is the government to
run every mans own private business
for him? For that is exactly what this
means. You cannot twist it into any
other argument II a mans home is
his castle is not that same mans fac
tory his very own domain. that should
not be menaced when the labor laws
are complied with?
If, as the Secretary says, one firms
estimates for a certain work are a
great deal higher than another house,
does this give the government right
to step IN and regulate business deals
between two private parties? Does
that give him the right to send paid
agents into every mans business to
regulate" transactions, prices, earn
ings, and wages?

At present the ely is using elec-
