PRECEDENT FOOLISH,
CLAPP TELLS DINERS
Believes New Ideas Make Changes in
Laws and Customs Abso-
utely Necessary.


The doctrine of breaking with the
past and ignoring the precedents es-
tablished by time was strenuously
preached by Senator Moses E. Clapp,
Of Minnesota before members of the
Brookland Brotherhood assembled last
night in Lord Memorial Hall for their
semi annual banquet.
Senator Clapp ascribed the present
European war to a too strict adh9r-
ence to the principles of the past which
allowed monarchies' to grow up and
militarism to become a religion.
The nations of Europe have no
cause or principle to fight for and yet
millions of men go out and convert the
peaceful fields of Europe into human
slaughter houses. The time will come
when historians will refuse to believe
that this horrible conflict ever took
place.
why must we worship the traditions
Of the past?" he asked. There is
nothing sacred in a thing because It
happened years ago. Every man con-
verted by Billy Sunday. that great
evangelist, must make a very great
change in his life and break absolutely
with the past in order to have a better
life. The idea of adhering to ancient
principles because they are ancient
also rules to some extent in the United
States Senate. when our laws reach
stage where we cannot contemplate
changes /. them. then we must IA
tuously believe they are perfect. II
We would improve anything-laws in
cluded-we must make changes. Let
us cease to be bound by the fetters of
the past"
The entertainment features of the
evening included recitations by James
D. Carpenter. humorous songs by
Denny Walters. and bass solos by Mr..
Leith. Charles F. Tansill. former pres
ident of the brotherhood. made an ad-
dress. Charles B. Clayton presided.

FLOOD THREATENS BALTIMORE.
Heavy Rains Assume DangerOui
Proportions.

Baltimore, Nd, Jan. 12.-BaItimOr,
County is in danger of great damag,
by floods. If the present rain continues
much longer. The heavy down pour
which has been kept up since last night
has caused all the streams to become
very high and in several places they have
overfiowed the banks. Where Western
Run and Jones Falls join at Mount
Washington, the water is backed up in
the streets, and at one point the stree;
cars have to go through fully six inches
Of water.
The rain has broken up the ice ant
II Is feared this will make the higf
streams still more dangerous.

BILLY" SUNDAY SEES
NATIONS REFORMATION
Country Tired of Doubts and Scepti-
cism. Baseball Preacher Tells
Philadelphians.

Philadelphia, Jan. 12.-Billy Sunday to-
day began the second week of his evan
gelistic campaign in this city under rainy
conditions. The rain did not worry him,
he said. Rainy days are good days to be
out in. They serve for contrast with
shiny ones, he said
At noon Billy addressed more than
5000 men and women, boys and girls, en-

Billy. Take that from me. The people
are sick of their doubts and their scep-

better aspirations. 1t is countrywide

FIGHT QUARANTINE ACTION.
Cattle Disease CurRbIe, They Con-
tend in Illinois.

Geneva. Ill, Jan. I2.-When Federal and
State veterinarians arrived here today to
slaughter the herd of dairy cows at the
State Training School for Girls, on ac-
count of the cows being infected with
fOOt-and-mouth disease, the men were
served with a writ of injunction. issued
by Circuit Judge Irwin. The hill cited
that the foot-and-mouth disease has been
proved curable, and that the Rractice OF
slaughtering the animals has failed TO
stop the spread of the plague in ILLINOIS.
The State veterinarian will fight the
court action.
