The Faithful Servant.

Senator Sawney Webb, author
of the Webb-Kenyon bill in the U
S. Senate, did not support Gov
ernor Patterson in the recent pri-
mary election. He made number
of speeches in favor of Senator Lea
Evidently, Senator Webb did not
have the proper confidence in Gov
ernor Patterson's professions OF
faith in the cause of Prohibition,
else he would not have entered the
campaign.
Senator Webb is now supporting
Mr.. Mcclellan.
Truth is that a politician cannot
easily dispose of his record, and when
he has once broken his promises
what can his constituents depend up
pend upon in the future?
Candidate Patterson promised that
the State government should be TAX

man John l. Cox and his dirty ma
chine and the election machinery re-
turned to the people. What was the
result? Governor Patterson asked
the Legislature to give him board,
another important piece of heavy
machinery, and to clothe this board
with the appointment of county cleo
tion commissioners. To crown his
official acts Governor Patterson after
wards joins forces with Ex-Governor
Cox, whom he had charged with en-
bezzlement of revenues belonging to
the State; and this is the way he
redeemed his prediction pledges.
This same Governor Patterson now
promises that he shall reform Con-
gress with Prohibition.
What assurances have we that
these promises will be fulfilled?
Congressman Mcclellan did vote
for a National Prohibition amend
ment and says that he will do so
again. There is performance in one
case and none at all in the other.
Which is entitled TO the greater cred

Mr.. Mcclellan did not vote for the
Webb-Kenyon bill because that bill
had no penalty clause. therefore
nullity. Mr.. Patterson has never
supported any temperance legislation
at all; not only that, but his public
record shows the most aggressive op-
position, and only few months ago,
a short time before he took the lee
ture platform, made the public state
ment, so Mr.. Mcclellan produces from
the Governors interview, that
the Webb-Kenyon bill was in direct
conflict with the provisions of the
National statutes regulating inter
state commerce.
With these things in view, how
can anyone give Governor Patterson
more faith and credit as a Prohibit
zionist than Mr.. Mcclellan.
Mr.. Mcclellan has also pledged that
he will support the entire temper
ance program, and if that is not
good enough for Prohibition Demo-
Gratis, how can they expect any thing
better from Governor Patterson.
1t is urged that religion should
not be injected into the campaign,
but should, for any good reason, that
point be raised, both men claim all
legiance to the Christian faith, and
are. as far as human knowledge is
concerned, entitled to equality be-
fore the bar of public opinion.

The Last Chanter.

with the assembling OF tke first
session Of the new Congress to-day
begins the last chapter of the pres
ent national re s.c::
And upon the nature OF that chap
ter depends, in large, perhaps a
decisive, measure. the character of
the next national Administration.
Upon the record, as already made,
there is no doubt that President VIII
son has the Endorsement of the coun-
try. 1t is true he Numbered as to
Mexico, but that mistake has been
overshadowed bye the surprising ex-
eellence of an unequaled work of
constructive reform that has left his
political opponents without foot of
solid ground to stand on opponents
who are looking anxiously now to the
next six months to give them the
nghting chance which the past two
wears have denied them,
Their situation is peculiarly try
ling one. Feeling that their hope is
lin no vitality of their own, but in
the embarrassment of the Democrats,
they are DESTROYS of doing their ut
most TO effect that embarrassment,
and vet conditions, as brought about
lAy the European war. are such that
they realize that it is going to be an
Exceedingly difficult thing to en-
barraSs the party in power on the
tissues most pressing without, per
Ihaps, even more embarrassing them
selves.
Internationally the new Congress
has a great deal of most important
work before it-work which in its
responsibility exceeds most of the
work that other Congresses have
been called on to do. But for the
fact that the country understands
the character of this work and de-
mands that it bel done, it would al
most inevitably insure the downfall
lof the Administration doing it. 1t
is this fact which at the same time
strengthens the hands of those to
whom it has fallen, and disturbs
those who for partisan purposes
would obstruct it.
That is why there is good warrant
for the confidence that the Congress
now assembling, under the advice of
the man who so far has won signally
the approval of the country, will
succeed in doing the work before it
effectively and acceptably; that a
satisfactory policy of preparedness"
will be inaugurated and a tolerable
policy of paying for it will be pro-
vided. Perhaps the latter achieve
ment will be more difficult, more
fraught with danger than the for
mer, but all things are possible I'M

The CONFECTIONERY. in view of
what he has already done, has in
sisted that the only man who can
prevent Woodrow Wilson succeeding
himself in the White House is Wood
row Wilson. Perhaps this might be
revised by the addition of "or his
Secretary of the Treasury" But
that revision would be one more of
form than of substance, for Mr.. Will
son will have himself to blame if he
allows Mr.. McAdoo to lure him into

co CONGREGATIONALlST NATIONAL COUNCIL
 HAS LAST SESSION
Committee Named to Garry Peace PleaSto President
 Wilson.

New Haven, Oct. 27@The biennial meeting of the National Council of Congregational Churches will end to- day and tonight the several missionary and educational bodies which have met as part of the great gathering will also conclude their Iabors. In the opinion of clergymen and 1aymen alike the meetings this year have been the largest in point of attendance in the councils history and the delegate body has been fully as large in any previous year. Yesterday afternoon and evening the meeting of the Amer ican board was in Woolsey Hall as Center Church could not accommodate the audience.
 An incident during the afternoon came after Tim Detudamo, 8 native from the Gilbert Islands and probably the first South Sea Islander to ever appear before a. board meeting, had made an address in English in which he appealed for money with which to pay for printing the Bible in the Naur tongue. A delegate rose to propose a collection for this purpose but Presi- dent Moore said that as the board had accepted the hospitality of Yale Univ ersity, the passing of the hat was not permissible. This also prevented later a collection to raise the debt of the board.
 Detudamo, who is 27 years old, EDEDON1Ae0 besidesi German, which was compl11- sorry on the island of Nauru and Eng fish learned in the German school He has been brought here to read proof on the Nauru Bible.
 When the council opened, Modera-# teF Beardsley announced the commit tee of six to carry to President Wilson the peace and Armenian. atrocities resolutions adopted yesterday as Rev Dr. c. F.. Carter of Hartford, Conn, w w. Mills, Marietta, O., Rev. C.. $. Mills, Montclair, N. J.. Guilford Dud- ley, New fork, David P. Jones, Scran- ton, Pa, and Epaphroditus Peck, of Bristol, Conn The moderator stated that he had asked President Wilson for an audience on Friday
 John J, Walker, of Boston, treas urer of the home mission society, was elected council treasurer vice Rev. Joel s. Ives, of Meriden, Conn, who re- tired. The council adopted a minute on the long service of NIp. Ives. In formal discussion was had on the time for the 1917 meeting at Los Angeles, aad June was favored but the decision was left with the California delegation.
