summation and its benefits, alike for
church and state, are in some meas
ure impaired.
The plea that privately or ecclesi-
astically conducted schools and char.
tiles somewhat relieve the state and
deserve recompense to the extent that
they lift the burden often has a plau-
sibility that captures legislatures or
leads municipal governments away
from the safe line of conduct. The
Interior purpose is easily concealed
and charitably passed by. Would it
not be narrow and carping to ques-

of entrusting the care of those for

CHURCH sUsPENDs
PROMINENT PASTOR
Rev. Ellis 10 Found Guilty OF Un.
becoming Conduct Toward
the Women

indianapolis, April 4.-That the
Rev. John R. Ellis, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church at Bloom
ington, Indiana, is suspended as a
minister Of the church in the United
States because of conduct unbecom-
ing a minister Of the gospel, Is the
finding of the special commission Of
the indianapolis presbytery announ-
ced.
The minister. who is the father Of
five children and who was pastor Of
a fashionable church In University
Town, was found guilty of three Of
the six counts. The commission rec
ommends that he devote a year to
outdoor life and recuperation.
Ellis was charged with unbecoming
conduct towards three women. One
of the charges sustained was that in
February in the vestibule Of the
church he placed his arm about Mrs.
Emma Schramm and said, You are
sweet enough to kiss. They were
alone at the time.
The other two charges sustained
are that he associated with women Of
questionable character, attempted to
make appointments with them, APP
peared with them at various times
on the streets, visited them and was
seen with one of them in Gasport, a
neighboring village.
Ellis is man of strong physique
His defense is understood to have
been that he was suffering from a
nervous breakdown and was not &C.
countable for his acts. He came to
the Bloomington pastorate from
New York church. He is h graduate
of London University. One OF his
sons is prominent in the law school
of Indiana university and defended
him before the commission. Ellis
will appeal to the Indiana synod.

Under the above heading, the Chris
tian Science Monitor, q paper pub
lished at Boston, Mass, has the fol
lowing to say:
Debate upon the separation OF
church and state ended so long age
in America that there would be no
occasion to recall the conclusion that
was reached hut for recurrent fail
ures to see and make its exact APP
plication. Written into constitutions,
accepted as the foundation of liber.
ty to both institutions. unchallenged
as the guide to legislative conduct,
the principle seems to be constantly
subject to indifference or misunder-
standing in the places where respect
for It is necessary. The recent re-
quest that the New England city of
Newport make an outright appropria-
ton for the support of sectarian
schools and the close division Of the
large council supposed to be the per.
feet mirror of the local public opn-
ion are an indication that the appii-
cation of the accepted rule is not
certain always to be made. There is
need that the Fundamental conclusion
be reasserted when, under the thin
concealment of claim that the
church is performing a states work
i'm education and that the burden
should be transferred to those of the
community that otherwise have to
provide for it, an outright demand is
made upon the public treasury.
Freedom of worship is secure. The
American contribution to the world
OF high example of liberty in belief,
which the nations have slowly fol-
lowed, is not assailed in its home;
but there is failure to recognize that
separation has more to offer than CIV.

ed only where the falls are very high
But aless costly method has been
found.
In the production of liquid air, the
air IL compressed TOLL it becomes a
liquid, which is so cold that 1t will
freeze anything in the world. BY let
ting this strange steel-blue liquid O.
vaporate in certain ways, the nitrogen
alone goes of, leaving the liquid oxy-
gen behind. The nitrogen is then used
to produce nitrate for the soil. The
process is peculiar.

his bitter defense, we think, would
be to plant himself on the ground
that the separation of church and
state is not limited device, subject
to exceptions, but an inclusive prin.
ciple whereof strict following is
breadth and any denial is narrow
ness.
We hold that the wise counsel Of
the times whereto experience is COM
polling public policy is that public
spending may not safely or rightly
go beyond or outside of public con-
troll. When the appropriation has
any color Of gratuity, or when 1t
passes beyond a strict accountability
for its purely public use. there comes
a risk of its diversion to ends that
are for part Of the people and not
for the whole. There seems to be
need of pressing home this one safe
rule. 1t is in constant danger of
suspension through kindness or un-
der pressure of an interested body.
The lingering presence of a partner
ship between church and state, nom-
inally dissolved long ago. is avoided
whenever and wherever men who
make laws and disburse tax raised
funds stand strongly and broadly for
the states acknowledging control
of their application.

Water Fertilizers

The chief fertilizers that must be
| applied to the soil are phosphoric acid
In the form of phosphates, any form
of nitrates that will supply nitrogen
compounds and potash. The first is
used only in small amounts by plants
and the supply is in no immediate
danger of exhaustion. The last is a
common product with many sources
of supply.
Nitrogen is the element that is diff.
ficult to get and keep for plant use.
1t is rapidly exhausted from the soil
by nearly all crops, and high prices
must be paid for it in the form of com.
mercial fertilizers. The supply of nj
trates comes from packing house
wastes, cotton seeds, from green ma
nures, from the lod bearing plants
when these are plowed under, and es.
pecially from the nitrate deposits in
Chill. The latter supply will some day
be exhausted and cannot be indefini.
tely be depended upon.
There is plenty Of free nitrogen in
the air, but 1t cannot be used unless
combined with oxygen and some me-
tallic element into solid compound
called a nitrate. The combination Is
effected, as has often been shown, by
the leguminious or pea family Of
plants, from the action Of bacteria at
their roots But this fertilizer combin-
alton can be produced also by the &C.
ton of electricity upon the nitrogen
of, the air.
1t has long been noticed that after
heavy thunder storm, there is an
acid taste in the air, and this state
has been found to be due to the pres
ence of nitric acid, produced by the
action of the lightning, which has
somewhat burned the oxygen. nitro
gen and hydrogen of the air and water
vapor In such way as to combine
them into the nitrate. This fact has

TIME HE'S FRIGHTENED

- RESIDENT WILSON'S obvious
- effort of the last week to curry
1 favor with business shows that
at last he realizes he is making
a mess of things with his free trade
tariff theories and his scholastic ideas
of government. 1t will be doubtless
worlds better for the country If he is
frightened little out of his cocksure-
ness.
His recent numerous conferences
with some of the most prominent busi-
nessmen in the country in Washington
and his nomination of Warburg, the
New York fnancier, and of Jones, of
Chicago, Harvester Trust director, as
members of the Federal Reserve
Board. show very clearly that he is not
altogether deaf to the clamorings of
depressed country.
But his change of attitude is not
going to be a recompense to voters
who get less wages and pay higher
prices for food because of the folly of
his administration. His change of
heart-if such 1t is-has come too
late.
