From Rome, missionaries went into
France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Hol-
land, Germany and Austria, carrying no
more than Paul had brought to Italy; to-wit;
the Gospel
DO you understand that you are commanded
to send preachers and DOCTORS to travel over
the same ground which the Gospel has oc-
cupied since the days Of the Apostle Paul?
DO you understand that the pinched con-
gregations of the South should be eternally
taxed for maintenance of preachers, schools,
colleges, hospitals, in CAri8tian Europe?
Think of sending missionaries to Ita7y!
The English church has had its pulpit
there, for many generations: the Waldenses
have preached the Protestant faith there, for
centuries: what has been the result?
The bulk of the Italian women continue to
be controlled by the priests; the bulk of the
men have rejected Christianity, and a very
small minority are Episcopalians and Wal
densians.
The Baptists of the South have poured
money into that mission field for many
year; and about the most dismal reading I
ever undertook was, the Report of the mis-.
erably meagre harvest of so much effort.

mental law of the Union of States-and also
In the highest law of each State in the Union
Article Ill, Section 2, paragraph 3 of the
Federal Constitution reads as follows:
The trial Of all crimes, except in cases Of i'm
peachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall
be held in the State where said crimes shall have
been committed; but when not committed within
any State, the trial shall be held at such place
or places as the Congress may by law have
directed
Palmer language could not have been used
and Mr.. Gregory is presumed to have taken
an oath of obedience to this supreme law,
when he qualified as Attorney General.
Did he tate such an oath? If so, how can
he violate it, oojthout laying himself liable to
impeachment?
He has been represented as Cabling in the
newspapers, with the garrulity Of an old
woman, telling the whole country-in effect
that the Constitution of the United States
does not bind him, when it is a question Of
gratifying the hatred Of Watson's enemies.
Plain as were the words of the Constitu-
ton, already quoted the States were not
entirely satisfied: they demanded, in2n1cdj-
ate7y, that Bill of Rights be added to it.
The 9th article Of that Bill of Rights reads
as follows:

So" HE Organ of the Baptists Of Geor-
gia" seems to be in distress. It


prints a farewell letter from subscriber,
who quits "the Organ" because it is eternaIly
begging for more money, and always de-
bending the Boards and never willing to give
the other side a hearing.
The editor of the Index comments on the
letter by saying, that the subscriber was not
paying for the paper, anyway.
That makes it aO0r8e on the paper.
The man did not even want the Index, as
a gift.
The Index has been sorely beset, about those
alleged Chinese and japanese high prices for
food-stuffs; and in the effort to climb out of
the hole, it prints letter from Brother Whit
tingill, who has been living near the Pope,
in Rome, Italy.
The letter reads thus:
&
have recently read in your paper an article of
yours in defense of missionaries. Among other
things, noted what you said about comparative
prices Of the necessaries of life in Atlanta and in
various foreign countries. / am sorry you did not
write to some Of us over here for prices of the
same articles Hoping those items may be of
service to you, am giving you list of few
necessaries Eggs, SO cents per dozen; butter,

as a partisan democrat for some time. He made vigorous campaign and was elected by a majority of 2,- 275, though the district normally was strong Republican. shively was a picturesque campaigner. In the early days he wore 2. black frocll coat and white string tie. He was reelected to congress until 1892 when he declin- ed to run again.
 Shively married Miss Laura Jenks, daughter of George A. and Mrs. Jenks. George A. Jcnl,s was solicitor general of the United States during Cleveland's first administration. Three children: George, John and Mary, were born to Mir. and Mrs. Shively.
 The statesman from northern In- diana demonstrated in 1896 that he was a loyal democrat in rough as well as fair weather. That was the period of most dismal democratic prospects, but he accepted the governOrship nomination knowing that defeat was certain. He had the satisfaction of making a surprisingly strong race, but was beaten. From 1884 Shively became known throughout Indiana as one of the most effective campaigners in the state.
 Shively was elected to the United States senate in 1909 by the legislat- ors of his party in caucus. He was chosen on the goth ballot. John Worth Kern was his principal op- ponent. On the twentieth ballot C.. V. Menzies and Mason J. Niblack threw their strength as candidates to Shively and he was chosen over Kerns 42 to 26. The final ballot was taken at 2 a. m.
 In 1914 Shivelv was reelected after President Wilson had demanded his reelection on his record. His term was to have extended to March 8, 1921.
 Senator Shively was of striking physical appearance. He was six feet tall and strongly built, but without superAuous flesh. His clean cut features and iron gray hair and mus tacbe set him off in any group. He was known as an intellectual power and was high in the coursels of his party at Washington. AS a trustee of Indiana University he gave addi- tional serivce for his state.

editor and proprietor of a small news paper called the Era, he began the study of law at home. Later he at tended the University of Michigan and received his diploma after work ing day and night for it for a year
 Shively was born in St. Joseph county, Indiana, on a farm, March 20 1857. His parents were the Rev. Joel and Mrs. Elizabeth Penrod Shiyely. He got his early schooling in a coun- try school and later went to Valpar- also University.
 In 1884 Shively entered the con- gressionaI race. He had been known
