SANTA Claus
Ship Sails Tomorrow For
Europe

Brooklyn, N. Y, Nov. 9-The good
ship, Jason. laden with the Christmas
gifts of a million American boys and
girls to million homeless and unhap-
py boys and girls in the war section
CT Europe, will steam on her way to-
morrow, crossing the wide ocean with
her precious burden of good things to
delight the hearts of the sufferers.
The big ship is loaded from stem to
stern, and hardly a nook can be seen,
Tor the avalanche of boxes and barrels
of gift filled up all the spare space.
From all parts of America the gifts
have come to the Jason, and even far
OF Honolulu, In Hawaii, sent a big
contribution of toys from the boys
and girls who live there. The gifts
are not all toys and play-things, for
the little Europeans are cold and hun.
cry. and good. warm clothing, well
as goodies for the Christmas dinner
occupy a big section of the ship.
The Christmas ship is big, new
American vessel, otiicered by Ameri-
cans and manned by Americans. Ev-
cry one of the men aboard is a blue
jacket, and the sailors have given
three cheers and vowed that the gifts
will reach the children in the stricken
land, safe and sound. The big ship Is
53G feet long and 65 feet wide. She
cen carry 10,500 tons, and she Is to-
night loaded nearly to her capacity.
For she Is taking a big cargo of coal,
as well as Christmas gifts, for coal is
very necessary thing for the Jason
and the other American vessels who
are going across the water. The ship
cost nearly million dollars, and Is
made Of steel throughout. Henry T,
Meriweather Is the name of the com.
rander OF the ship.
When the ship sails tomorrow, she
will fash her farewell by wireless to
the children in America, and will let
them know her progress by means Of
her powerful wireless equipment
When she arrives in Europe, willing
hands will undertake to distribute the
gifts where they are most needed
and on Christmas day a million little
ones will be thinking Of the boys and
girls In America, and how kind they
are, and will kneel down and pray
that American children will never suf
ter as they have suffered from the
tcTrors of war and famine.

NO RELAXATION
cleveland Plain Dealer.)

cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Men engaged in the liquor business
in certain parts Of the state appear to
assume that because Ohio was carried
by the vets the other day a more lax
policy In relation to saloon regulation
is to be followed at once. Gov. Cox
heard the reports. 81 will call out
every soldier at my command to up
hold the dignity of this state if saloon
keepers of Ohio attempt to keep their
places open on Sunday" he declared.
Anyone who knows the governor
knows he means precisely what he
says. The governor and the attorney
general hold that every one Of the
regulatory laws remain unimpaired by
the home rule amendment save the
Rose county option act. Until that
opinion is reversed by the decision Of
competent court 1t will remain the
working policy of the administration.
And as long as the administration has
that understanding Of the situation no
relaxation of authority will be shown
in favor OF those engaged in the sa-
loon business.
Enforcement of law has been q
cardinal virtue of the Cox administra-
tion. The liquor business has never
been under more stringent control
than 1t Ia now. Many communities
never knew q closed Sunday before.
Advocates Of the license amendment
to the constitution two years ago,
James M. Cox among them, said Its
pussage together with the legislative
measures necessary to give 1t effect
would have exactly this result. The
people indorsed the amendment and
commissioned Cox to give 1t effect.
The governor has about two months
yet to serve. There is no reason to
doubt that the strict enforcement Of
law which has marked his administra-
tion from the beginning will continue
during these closing weeks. Saloon
men inclined to take more lenient
view of the laws which regulate their
business are forgetting for the mo-
ment who is governor.

GOVERNORS GATHER TO r as
AID UNIFORM LAWS

Madison, Wis, Nov. 9-The confer
ence of governors, which opens tomor-
row in Madison will urge the promo
tion of greater uniformity in state
legislation, greater cooperation be-
tween state and nation and greater
efficiency in state administration. A
surprise was sprung on the executives
when it was learned that the confer
ence of commissioners on uniform
laws, recently held in Washington, de-
cided not to send representative
here to address the governors.
The first conference of governors
was called by President Roosevelt in
1908, and national resources was the
subject then under discussion. Much
is expected of the meeting this year,
and several important matters will be
considered.

REV. Mr.. BARKER,
A|L|NG, RESIGNS
Announces That He Will Leave
Morristown Baptist Church
on May I.


YOUNGSTOWN, Jan. 5.-Rev. Will
lam W. Barker rendered his resigna-
tion as pastor of the First Baptist
Church at the service yesterday
morning Action was deferred until
the quarterly business meeting of the
church. which is to be held on Thurs
day evening, January 10. Mr.. Barker
gave as his reason for relinquishing
the pastorate his continued ill-health,
stating that he considered it an in
Justice to further continue as pastor
of the church, as he was physically
unable to do the work demanded.
The resignation is to take effect
May 1.
The resignation was read at the
communion service by Rev. Taplin
j Winslade of Dover, who assisted
Mr.. Barker in the regular service.
Mr.. Barker's health failed him more
than year ago, and though advised
by his physician to discontinue his
work he remained at his post. OF
late he has failed SO that he has been
unable to preach, and clergymen and
laymen have preached for him.
= Rev. Mr.. Barker came to Norris
town in 1909, succeeding Rev. Oliver
c. Horsman, who had resigned after
considerable friction in the congre-
cation. Mr.. Horsman had taken
great interest in politics, and, 1t was
said, had alienated a number of his
church members. One man at least,
wealthy contributor, not only left
the church, but sold his place in
Morristown and has since made his
home in New York. Rev. Mr. Barker
was called with the expectation that
he would heal the breach in the
church and draw back to the fold
those who were dissatisfied. But he
did not fulfil the expectations, owing,
1t is said, to his ill-health not per-
hitting him to be as active as he
might If in better physical condition.
Rev. Mr.. Barker has been engaged
in Christian work since 1888, before
which time he was engaged as an ar
fist and a musician He was the first
member of the Trenton Young Mems
Christian Association. and later be-
came its general secretary. After
taking part in the building movement
that resulted In the erection of the
Trenton associations 100000 building
he went to Salem as secretary.
He was the first secretary there,
and the result of his labors was the
erection Of $4,000 building for that
association. In 1892 he organized
church in Phillipsburg, in a store at
the corner of Fox and Main streets.
He remained there for fourteen years.
Ordained to the ministry in 1892, and
after placing the Phillipsburg church
on it's feet with a $4,000 property, a
mission and also a site for a new
church building, he went to Bayonne,
succeeding Rev. Mr. McGregor as
pastor of the church there. Mr. Nc
Gregor had been called to the associ-
ate pastorship of Calvary Baptist
Church in New York, of which Rev
Robert s. Macarthur was pastor A
year later Rev. Mr.. Barker succeeded
Rev. Mr.. McGregor at Calvary
Church, from which he came to Nor
ristown.
Mr.. Barker has served as State
president of the Baptist Young Peo-
pies Union and has also been a Sec
rotary for nine years of the Chill
dren's Home Society local board.
