Press and Pulnit

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 pr. Washington Gladden. of Columbus. O., told gathering of journalists in Lawrence. Kan. recently that the news paper profession is as sacred a calling as the ministry
 The statement will be startling to the lay reader but It has many clements Of our twentieth century civilization. with the vast ramineations and influence Of the newspaper
 Today the newspaper speaks to virtually every man. woman and child in America Even those who are iluterate are indirect- ly affected by it's widening circles
 The minister gets in touch w,;u his reo- pie at intervals. The pastoral side of the ministry has suffered much since the evo- luton of great American cities and our diversity of interests makes 1t difficult 10 maintain the old=fashioned home life and house-to house wishing.
 These contrasts mean that whatever the press says. by way of news handling our editorial comment. strikes the great American mind with the effect of eontin- ual impact. Men may stay away from church. They do not forget their news papers.
 These obvious facts put a greater obli- gation upon men who follow the newspap- CT as profession and who view 1t as more than a source of livelihood. That obligation is to advance truth. to spread sound doctrines, to comnat the miehlevous and meretricous-in nutshell, to stand for better citizenship.

A New Bed for Mississippi River

ioiii tlt oHilStidil f1tidiu
 The bottom of the Mississippi river or rather portions of it near Memphis, Tenn, is being supplied with a carpet in the shape of gigantic mats woven of willow trees, which are being constructed in sections on the surface of the river and then sunk into place. The river for several years has been cutting a new channel that threatens to leave Memphis high and dry mile away. The turbulent river already has to its credit, or dis credit. score of towns deserted fin this manner, with consequences serious enough. In the case of Memphis, how ever, these consequences would be dsas- trous almost beyond description; her costly harbor facilities would be utterly ruined and the city left with a huge mudbank between its fine levee and the stream
 The threatened danger was first noted by government engineers about a year ago, and preparations immediately start ed to avert it. While the unsuitable river has for several years been eating rail- roads, houses and farms in the vicinity of Memphis, sucking them into it's muddy maw, and carrying them down to the Gulf of Mexico, it seemed that the hungry stream had at last met something that would check its appetite when sheer wall of solid rock appeared at Hopefeld Point, opposite Memphis But the rock was soon being undermined
 The willow made now being placed in the river at that point are expected to put stop to the erosion. Some of these mats are mile long and 200 feet wide. AS fast as section is completed it Is weighted with rocks to sink 1t into place and then pinned to the bottom with piles The Mississippi is the only river in the world that enjoys the distinction of hay ing its bottom carpeted.

SENATOR'S WEST AND VARDAMAN NEARLY
 COME ID BLOWS.
Bitterness Over Tolls Fight Shown When Democrats Start Row on Floor
 of Senate

Washington, June H.-Bitterness among democratic senators over the re- peal bill flared up again tonight. and be- fore oil was poured ons the troubled waters Senator vardaman of Mississippi and Senator West of Georgia came near blows. Apparently only the interference Of Senator Ashurst and the presence of cal encounter. It all lasted less than a minute, but in that time the Senate liv- ened up and displayed an interest in things such as has not been evident for weeks.
 The trouble started after bitter ex- change between Senator vardaman and Senator James, who had vigorously crit ieized the Mississippi senator and in turn had been told that he was not stating the truth.
 When Senator Vardaman sat down, Senator West took the floor and also en- tered protest against the recent charge or senator Nardaman that those who voted Tor the repeal bill were guilty of treachery to the democratic party. He referred to the charge that the Carnegie fodldation had expended $30,Ooo to boost the repeal bill

 By this time the two senators were only a fe wfeet apart but Senator Ashurst. one of the biggest men in the Senate, had stepped between them. He laid his left arm across Senator Yard amans chest and extended the other toward the Georgian and tried to paeify them, but they kept talking.
 In the meantime members fin the oloakroom tried to tumble out of the doors all at once and the galleries were half filled with people leaning for ward with expectation of seeing a real fight

The senators will please take their seats and the sergeant at arms - here he was interrupted, but Sergeant-at-Arm Rigging had heard enough. and he walked out to where the two senators stood elaring at each other across the outstretched arms of othatoT AsnuTSN, ana stood ready Tor the official command to stop whatever might be started Mir. West insisted on explaining.
 'T did not say in writing or other wise" he started to explain.
 The senators will please take their seats," urged the presiding officer. while the gallery and the republican side of the Senate, in particular. looked on as if at play.
 No. I am not going to sit down." continued MT. West, and Senator James tried to explain that the Georgia sen ator was trying to make no charges. Finally all resumed their seats with out a blow on either side Both Sem ators West and Vardaman explained that they meant no reflection on any one in what they had said.
 Later Senator Williams made a short speech criticizing Senator Vardaman.

"Of course, it is we'll un- that the senior senator from Mississippi never approves of anything I do. l care absolutely nothing wheth CT I please him or displease him.

 For awhile the Senate looked for fresh outbreak but the trouble subsided and the steady grind of debate went on.
