no Abolish Zee system.

President Price introduced in the
Senate five constitutional amendments
prepared by the Gorman committee for
abolishing the practices in vogue
under the fee system.
The measures apply to the follow
ing Offices:
Registers of Wills.
Clerks of the Court.
States Attorneys.
Sheriffs.
Payment of all fees into the State
Treasury with provision that the pay
ments for clerical hire and other ex-
penses shall be made by the State,
instead of the fees being retained by
the officials and the expenses de-
Quoted before they are turned In, is a
feature of all the amendments.
Under miscellany" salaries are
limited to $4,000. This fixes the pay
of Sheriffs. The constitutional limita-
ton is now $4,000, but the Sheriffs Of
Baltimore city are supposed to have
made their Offices net them about
$4,000.
Efforts are also made in the changes
to insure uniform charges and uni
form accounting.
If the changes are to be made
three-ffths of the members Of each
branch of the Legislature will have
to approve them, as well as a majority

TO GIVE AWAY
RAD|UM PLANT
Dr.. Howard A. Kelly Agrees to
Government Plan.
Mr.. LANE ANNOUNCES 1T.
Secretary Of Interior Makes Strong
Plea For Withdrawal OF
Ore Lands - Outlines
Plans.
Mr.. LANE ANNOUNCES IT.

Washington, d. CDR. Howard A..
Kelly of Baltimore, the cancer expert
and eminent surgeon, found an ardent
defender in Secretary of Interior
Franklin X. Lane, who appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Mines
and Mining to urge legislation to
break up the "radium monopoly" so
that as much of the precious metal as
possible may be distributed in trust
worthy hands for the warfare on
cancer.
Il do not see," said Secretary Lane
to the committee, why DR.. Kelly, of
Baltimore, and DR.. Douglass, of New
York, should be subjected to so much
criticism regarding their efforts to get
more radium for medical use in this
country. They are two distinguished
and high-minded men. They are
working for the sole purpose of getting
a sufficient supply of radium for the
benefit of mankind. DR.. Kelly is known
to you. DR.. Douglass is a millionaire
and distinguished chemist. He is
the former president of the Ell Paso
and Southern Railroad"
Will Turn Over Plant.
Congressman Taylor, OF Colorado,
who Is combating the Lane proposition
for the withdrawal from public entry
of radium-ore lands, said he wished it
understood that he had never criticised
DR.. Kelly and DR.. Douglass.
Secretary Lane, In the course of his
argument, told of the offer of Dr. Kelly
and Dr. Douglass to turn over to the
Government the plant they are con-
structing at Denver for the extraction
Of radium from ore. Continuing, he
said:
"This plant will be completed in
February 1t cost about $150,O00. DR..
Kelly and DR.. Douglass will turn the
plant over to us so that we can use it
to experiment with our process for the
extraction of radium from carnotite
ore. We have a process which we be-
Heve will work. We will use DR..
Kelly's plant in which to make our ex-
periments, and it will be done with Dr.
Kelly's and DR.. Douglass money.
"Dr. Kelly and DR.. Douglass have a
contract with the Crucible Steel Com
pany to furnish them the radium-bear-
ing ore upon which we will try our ex-
tracing process. We will use their
ore also, and have agreed to give them
the first seven grams of radium and
the rest shall be ours"
What do you propose to do with
this radium after it falls into the Gov
ernment's hands?" Secretary Lane was
asked.
my idea," he replied, "is to turn
some of the radium over to the Gov
ernment hospitals and place the re-
mainder in depots in different parts of
the country, SO that it can be reached
for relieving the poor"

Mt SinIa, and designed for a perpet-
ual rule of action for all mankind,
there was included the positive pro-
hibition @Thou Shalt Not XIII and
long prior to that directly after our
Eden. upon the occasion of the first
murder, when Cain rose up against
Abel, his brother, and slew him, 7
| God called him TO an immediate ac-
count and sentenced him to perpet-
uaI Punishment and locked up
against him even the productive
| laws of nature itself And so terrible
| the sentence seemed that Cain ex-
claimed My punishment is greater
than can bear" And after the flood
when the Lord sought TO reorganize
the affairs OF men, he provided law
TO do away with all violence and
bloodshed from the earth: And sure,
ly your blood of your lives will re-
fuse at the hand of man: at the hand
Of every mans brothers will ! re
quire the life of man. Whose shed
deth mans blood, by man shall his
blood be shed, for in the image OF
God made man" And so it is that
he who Stays his brother man cuts
down the image of God. And where
can any authority be found for sus-
pending or reversing the divine pro-
hibition? II is true that human tri-
bunals frequently assume the pas
session of this power, but without
any moral right. Indeed, | know OF
but one exception to the general rule,
and that is in the case of self-defenset
1t must be conceded that man has the
right to defend himself and those
under his protection and by a parity
in the civil government. 1t was abso-
lutely right that the government of
the Union should maintain its au-
thority, by force of arms, and pre-
serve its being unimpaired by resist
ing and oyerthrowing the slaye-hold
ing conspiracy But he that appeals
to the law of force must first be sure
that in no other way can he conserve
his rights. And in this age there
should be no question arising be-
tween men or nations that should
not be referred to arbitration or set
tied in some other peaceful way. For
antilles, the most costly of all public
matters, and it involves many more
than those individually engaged in it.
It desolates provinces, destroys
homes, makes widows and orphans,
and often requires an outlay much
beyond the sum originally involved. |
By all means Let US have peace"

GREATER IOWA MOVEMENT.

Greater Iowa Week was a grand
success.
And nov. all aboard for a Greater
Iowa year.
Reports from the headquarters of
the Greater Iowa Association at Gin
ton indicate that more than six hun
bred meetings were held during the
week. not including the sermons
preashed in nearly one thousand
churches, where Greater Iowa was
discussed, and not including practic-
ally every rural school and city
school, high school and college in the
state, where special programs were
carried out.
The Greater Iowa story, in seven
days, has been presented to more
than two million people in Iowa
These six hundred meetings were
held in churches, school houses, com.
mercial club rooms and opera houses.
One meeting was held in the COM
munity grocery store and two meet.
ings we're held in county court
houses.
The object OF Greater Iowa Week
was to start the people of Iowa think
Ing along right lines. Ii was merely
opening up the campaign which will
last for years. A great many new
members for the association were Sc
cured during the week-enough to
enable the association to carry on it's
propaganda for a short while. But an
appeal comes from the secretary for
more members and undoubtedly an
effort will be made in the various sec
tions Of the state to get another thou.
sand or fifteen hundred members be-
tween now and the first OF the year.
II is ALSO possible that Greater Iowa
Week will be an annual affair and
viii be much more general next year
than II was this year The state sec
Rotary suggests that at the meetings
during Greater Iowa Week next year
the speakers will be more familiar
with their subject and more filled
with enthusiasm, and viii be able TO
report progress made during the
year.
