speaker.
MAN, AR CO. nrr:r
TO MISSIONARY WORK.
MIR Patton laid great stress upon
the fact that the real reason why the
average church is doing 80 little for
the mission field is because the average
man is appallinrly ignorant Of the
facts Of missionary work In one Of
his addresses he said that after
travelling from $4,000 to $1,000 miles a
year in America for the pas, ten years
he had never seen "a nonhelicvcr in mis-
sions who did not, when asked, admit
that he had never mad" serious in
vestiGation Of the case. and that
therefore, the problem before the
Christian church was not 80 much to
preach TO people on tho subject as To
teach them and To organize the church
for tho great task before it.
Mr.. Patton cited case after case in
many sections OF the country where,
after week Of serious devotion TO
prayer and study OF the facts Of the
mission field, whole communities hsd
been overwhelmingly converted to the
cause. and in many such cases the
Christian people had shown themselves
enthusiastically willing to give from
two to ten times what they had pre-
v!ouslv given.

STATES RIGHTS UPHELD
BY U. S. SUPREME COURT
Tribunal Decides Commonwealths
May Authorize Condemnation OF
Water-Power Sites.

In a decision Of wide effect to water
power development throughout the
United States, the Supreme Court OF the
United States held yesterday that states
possess the power to enact laws authoriz-
ing condemnation of power sites and
water rights by right of eminent domain
The decision was announced by Justice
Holmes in upholding the constitutionality
of the Alabama water power condemna-
ton statutes in case touching the I'M
provement of Tallapoosa river.
THE principal argument. said Justice
Holmes, sis that the purpose of the cor
demnation is not public one. In the Or
ganic relations of modern society it may
sometimes be hard to draw the line that
is supposed to limit the authority of the
legislature to exercise Or delegate the
power of eminent domain.
But to gather the streams from waste
and to draw from them energy. labor
without brains and to save mankind
from toll that it can be spared is to sup
ply what, next to intellect, is the very
foundation Of all our achievements and
all our welfare If that purpose is not
public we should be at a loss to say what
is"

Not Yet in Concrete Form.

No business man who has any know

it is said that the movement has not

Senator Works, while declaring that

He continued:
The office of judge. whether of high
or low degree, with great or small jul
iiSui'tIon, hHoWS no no re-
ligion, no race or color. no station or
position in life, no class distinction
nothing but even handed and equal jus

office of judge should be alike blind to
all these things. The Supreme Court of
the United States is regarded as the
greatest judicial tribunal on earth. Its
members should be and are men of the
highest ideals. The position is for life
The acceptance of it should be taken
as surrender of all future political
aspirations. The preservation of the
purity of the judicial robes and the
freedom of the court from the taint
of all outside influences is of vastly
more Importance than the election OF
any man to the presidency no matter
how well fitted he may be to fill the
office. or how important his candidacy
may be in a political sense.
The office of President of the United
