as to What Biblical
Precedent Is.
WILSON is PRAISED
AS TRUE CHRISTIAN
General Assembly Hears Public
Schools Denounced by
One Delegate.

Chicago. May 25-The report 81 the
special committee on prison reform was
submitted To the Presbyterian General
Assembly to-day by the Rev. W. Francii
Irwin. OF Louisville, the chairman. II
did not touch upon the punishment OF
murderers or the death penalty. but sew
eral ministers expressed themselves In
favor ~ capital punishment.
the Rev. =. q. Sterling. OF Eureka. H..
said he understood the Bible to justify
death sentences for murder.
Chairman Irwin replied that his opinion
was that no government nor man had the
right 10 take Il human lie.
II DO not believe I'm killing man to
reform him" said the Rev. Mr.. Irwin.
The committee recommended:
That courts instead Of prisons be made
instruments for the reformation Of crimi-
mails.
That prison sentences be the last steps
OF the law instead OF the first
That proven incorrigibles be sentenced
TO prison for life.
That the prison contract labor system
should be condemned.
Final action on the report was deferred.
During the discussion Of the report the
Rev James Carter, OF Lincoln University.
Pennsylvania. offered an amendment lis
claiming any intention Of the assembly
to condemn the Biblical punishment for
murder.
What is the Biblical punishment for
murders shouted delegate In the
rear. Cain was not executed for the
murder OF Abel"
The amendment was voted down.
The provision condemning contract
prison labor caused another discussion.
One delegate said the abolition Of con-
tract labor In penitentiaries had caused
a marked increase In tuberculosis among
the prisoners. and ne opposed the passage
OF the recommendation for this reason.
President Wilson's name was 'heered
when Mckenzie Cleland. OF Chicago. told
how the nations chief executive a few
weeks ago stopped his official duties 10
speak a few comforting words to Grip
pied child caller.
President Wilson is a Christian first
and President next" said Mr.. Clelapd.
The Rev. S. C. George. OF Pittsburgh,
offered an amendment 10 the report Of the
committee directing that financial aid be
withheld from all candidates for the min
istry addicted to tobacco. II was referee
TO the committee on bills and overtures.
One thousand dollars as the minimum,
salary OF Presbyterian minister was
advocated by the Rev. Murdock Mcleod,
OF Tacoma. Wash. chairman Of the Gem
mittee on Ministerial Relief. The report
OF the committee stated that $4,000 had
been collected in the year toward the
SO, 900 600 endowment fund authorized two
years ago.
The public school was criticised by the
Rev. John T. Carson. OF Brooklyn.
Sabbath school work Is more impor-
tant than a college education" he said.
1T is a crime against the childhood OF
America that the Bible is excluded from
the public schools"

PUT WOMEN ON
 THE COUNCIL"
 THEY ADVISE US

Several business men of Williams in discussing what they term the failure of men on the common council to run the town right" have declared in favor of electing women to the council instead of men. These men were of the opin- ion that the men on the council have been doing their best
 The editors of the News have been strongly impressed by the ex- ecutive ability of Western women. In the case of the runaway mules narrated in this issue, women stop ped the team where men merely got out of the way. Such women would undoubtedly make short work of the problem of stopping for good night disturbances of the peace in Williams, task which has seemed to assume Herculean proportions in the eyes of a male council.
 It may be that the suggestion oi these men is right. It may be that we should elect women to the council in the spring.
