JOHNSON GETS BITTER.
BY Fred Ferguson.
Omitted Press Correspondent }


Chicago, Sept, 1Q.-The term
"quitter" was passed back .tp Presi-
dent Wilson today BY Senator Hiram
Johnson, in a bristling speech before
the Hamilton club here. The Cali
fornia senator asked to what game
the president was referring in his St.
Louis speech.
johnson did not apply the direct
epithet as he commented, but he de-
clared: "To what does Mr.. Wilson
refer? Is it the game he started in
Europe and did not finish, or is it
the game that was played for him
and in which, finally, he supinely &C
quiesced? Is it the American game
that he so finely phrased when he
went to Europe, or is 1t the European
and Asiatic game?"

Minister S Salary Paid In Corn
(BY H. P. Ford. J

In view of the present interest
manifested in the importance of in
creasing ministerial salaries on ac-
count of the excessive cost of life's
necessities, copy of an ancient doc
ument relative TO this subject. which
has recently been placed in the
Presbyterian Historical Society, Phil
adelphia, will be given more than
passing attention.
The date of the paper is June 27,
1879. Due to the Revolutionary
War, which was then prevailing,
somewhat similar living conditions
existed as our ministers are now
facing. Rev. John Rankin had been
the spiritual leader of the Bucking-
ham, Berlin, Md, and the Black Wa
ter, Del, churches little more than a
year. The people early saw that his
compensation was not sufficient to
| meet the demands made upon him,
i and made an effort to increase it.
Such fine sense of honor and JUS
tice had it's fitting reward, and the
pastoral relation proved most hap
ipy one. Mr.. Rankin spent his en-
tire ministerial life with this gener-
Gus and appreciative people. He died
on March 2, 1898, at the age of for
ty-eight. An interesting biographical
sketch of him appears in the third
volume of Sprague's Annals of the
fAmerican Pulpit"
The old subscription paper fol-
Flows:
I tAs we profess ourselves Chris
tians and members of the church of
Christ, we must certainly consider
the preaching of the Gospel and the
regular dispensation of Divine ordi-
nances as necessary, and that those
who are faithfully employed in the
sacred office should be decently sup
ported. It is well known that the
depreciation of our CURRENCY has for
some time rendered our contribu-
tions for the support of the Rever-
end John Rankin very inadequate to
his labors in the Gospel, and, there
fore, to remedy this evil and encour-
age his continuance amongst us, it
is judged most expedient for him and
us that his salary be paid at the old
rate, and as corn is the prevailing
article in this place, it will always be
the best standard; and, therefore,
those who are willing to contribute
anything for the aforementioned
purpose, are requested to subscribe
their quota in corn, at a half crown
per bushel, to be paid yearly, at
some convenient place. If any sub
|scriber, or subscribers, do not have
the corn to spare, the current price
in money at the time of delivery will
be accepted.
Agreeable to- this plan. we, the
subscribers, do promise to be paid
to the Rev. John Rankin, OF his or
der, our several quantities of corn
annexed to our names, or the amount
in money at the current price. an
nually, on the first day of June, as
long as he remain our stated minis
ter and regular member of Lewes
| Presbytery."
Fifty-four names appear on the
list, and from cne to twelve bushels
were subscribed by each. 1t is in
teresting to note the number of Bi-
BILE names among the subscribers:
Joseph, John, Ebenezer, Thomas,
Enoch, Samuel, Eleazar, Noah, Da-
vid, Elihu, Elijah, Benjamin. Israel,

WOULD PENALIzE
BUYERS OF BOOZE
DYs Say Prohibition is Futile
With z 3-4 P. C. Beer.
ASKS LIMIT ON STOCKS
Wayne B. Wheeler Declares United
States Has Right to Make Half OF
One Per Cent Limit.

Washington, July 17.-Authority of
congress to fix one-half of one per
cent as the maximum alcoholic con-
tent of beverages in prohibition en-
forcement legislation is clear, Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel of the
Anti-Saloon League, declared before
the senate judiciary subcommittee in
answering recent statements of Sam
uel Untemeyer, counsel for brewers.
ITO allow the sale of 2A per cent
beer" said Mr.. Wheeler, ''would keep
alive the liquor trade and defeat the
purpose of national prohibition. The
friends of prohibition do not want a
code unless it defines intoxicating liq-
uor."
Thirty-three prohibition states and
thirteen local option states, Mr..
Wheeler said, have laws limiting al
cohol in beverages. He challenged
Mr.. Untermyer to produce any court
decisions denying congress or state
legislatures the right to make defni-
tions.
Congress cannot consistently adopt
weaker standard in defining the
term than that already enacted in the
states," said Mr.. Wheeler. "This
means nothing be sold for beverage
purposes that contains more than one
half of one per cent alcohol.
Mr.. Wheeler told the committee pro-
hibition advocates were not asking
that possession of liquors bought be-
fore July for personal use be pro-
hibited He adds, however, that they
were suggesting amendments to the
pending legislation to limit the amount
of liquors which may be stored in pri-
vate residences, so as to prevent
homes from becoming speakeasies.
Another amendment advocated by
prohibition leaders, Mr.. Wheeler said,
is a provision for seizure of liquors in
homes where it is sold illicitly.
"BOotleggers will maintain their
homes as headquarters without such
legislation" he said.
Two other amendments were urged
by the witness. To prevent bootleg
ging he asked that the committee add
clause making mere personal and
physical possession of intoxicants
such as the presence of bottle in an
individuals pocket-unlawful.
"This is the most effective weapon
of prohibition enforcement" said Mr.
Wheeler, and Senator Sterling suggest
ed that the bill be extended so as to
penalize purchase as well as sale OF
Intoxicating beverages.
Mr.. Wheeler also asked for sweeping
search warrant powers, suggesting that
seizures be authorized without war.
rant, or at least that warrants be is
sued without requiring testimony in
support of requests. Otherwise, he
said, liquor might be removed before
| officers could act.
Senator Walsh, Montana, and Other
committee members opposed extension
of the bills search warrant prOvis
| ions and also insisted that the provis
ions penalizing searches with malice
and without probable cause should re
main.
