ment is not ingenious, for he refers
to suggestion from the railroads
OF the country" whereas the sugges.
ton that freight rates should be in.
creased to Offset the Adamson bill
has been made already and made by
President Wilson himself. President
Wilson has committed himself to the
proposition that the railroads should
not lose by his legislation, but would
be permitted to increase their charges
sufficiently to Offset any real increase
OF their expenses With the national
election out of the way. 1t is entirely
possible that Mr. Kitchin accurately
represents the position which the
House will take, while 1t also is quite
possible that Mr. Wilson will change
his mind once the election is over.

Farmers Will Act:

FdTUSTo WIZ SSks
According to II. N. Pope. president
OF the Association Of Farmers Union
Presidents, he has inaugurated a
movement looking to concerted effort
by the farmers OF the country to pro.
cure the repeal OF the Adamson wage
increase bill. Mr.. Pope, whose home
Ia in Fort Worth, Texas, opposes the
increase of wages which President
Wilson procured for the members Of
! the railway brotherhoods on the
ground that "the farmer will pay the
freight" He is convinced that pow.
erful and effective movement has been
started which will compel Congress.
at the behest OF the farmers Of the
country. to repeal the Wilson-Adamson
bill. "The defenders Of the Adamson
bill have had much to say about eman-
cipatIng labor" says Mr.. Pope, but
how about enslaving the farmer? II
giving to trainmen Is a virtue. Is not
taking from farmers a crime? Has
Congress the power to increase the
expenses Of industry many millions
Of dollars without someone paying the
bill? II so. then Congress should i'm.
mediately assemble and legislate all
the people into idleness and wealth
The law is unsound in principle and
unjust In application"
Democratic Leader Scared:
Rep. Claude Ktchin, Democratic
leader Of the House, has become
alarmed by the opposition OF farmers
and shippers generally to the Adam.
son bill and has announced publicly
that he will endeavor to prevent Presi.
dent Wilson'S promise to the railroads
OF increased freight rates to offset
the increased wages they are COMPEL.
ed to pay by the Adamson bill Mr..
Kitchin assumes to speak for the
House. which means, Of course, the
Democratic majority who chose him
their leader. when Congress- con.
venes in December" says Mr.. Kitchin,

oppose any suggestion from the rail.

await for the promise of the Father.
because il had been originally given in
the days of Joel in connection with
tine setting up of the Messianic king
dom in glory. They tarried in the
upper room. where they continued for
ten days waiting steadfastly in prayer
for the promised blessing that would
transform the unorganized followers
OF the risen Lord into a conquering

empire.

tIe early church. who then numbered
about 120" persons, were being pre-
pared by prayer and the study of the
Scriptures for the reception of Gods
second greatest gift in the coming of
the Holy Spirit, to men they filled the
vacancy in the apostolic ranks, caused
by the detection of Judas, by the cleo
'ion Of Matthias. who was chosen by
the band OF men and women who had
been convinced By the reality OF
'hris-'s resurrection that they had not
been enrolled by the Lord in an effort
for lost cause. They elected the new
apostle by lot, which was the last
time that this Jewish custom was
used IN the church. because at the con-
cluSiCn OF their waiting they received
the pentecostal blessing and hence
forth were guided by the Holy Spirit
in their work for Christ and His
church.
