7 In the little town Of Chufu, in Shan
tung on the spot where Confucius
lived and taught his disciples, in the
happy outdoor fashion Of other an
cient philosophers, under plum tree,
stands his temple, a great pink-and-
garnet pavilion bordered with blue
and green and violet and gold, it's vel
low roofs, the yellow sacred to Con-
fucius and royalty, resting on the
handsomest dragon carved pillars in
the empire and marched along by pro-

by triple balustrades carved into vas

triple staircases emblazoned with
phoenixes and more dragons, and be-
fore it stretches a vast courtyard
Planted with cedars and enclosed by
pink walls. Pink walls, old cedars,
yellow roofs! These always to Con-
iucius. For this temple is only the

y ing Missionaries.

The educational policy Of the Mis-.
sionary Society of the Church Of Eng
land in Canada, toward the Indian
tribes of the far North, has developed
a class of Indians and half-breeds in
dispensable in the service Of the fur.
trading companies.
The pioneer missionaries found 1t
difficult to instruct the Indian in the
ways Of comfort and sanitation; to-
day at all the pos :. with few excep-,
tons, the moose-S... n teepe has been
replaced by the comfortable log hut or
cabin. The Indian, clinging to the
traditions of his fOrefathers, dwells in
tents along the fishing waters in sum
mer, but seeks the more thickly popu--
lated settlements in winter, where he
may secure his food for the long
sleigh journeys he makes when visit
ing his traps. These settlements, es-
pecially those which cluster around
the Hudson Bay comipany's posts, find
the Indian as comfortably housed as
people Of the average white commun-@
ity. ....., -
Those who have lived among these
people hear loud call to civilization
for help, both material and spiritual.

breaches GOSPEL OF
SACRIFICE AND PEACE
Manufacturers of State Bend
Efforts Toward Sterilization
of Business Conditions.

]. e. Edgerton and C. C. Gilbert,
president and secretary, respectively,
of the Tennessee Manufacturers asso-
citation, are in the city Tuesday. Speak
ing of the purpose OF their visit, Mr..
lIdgerton said:
"As a manufacturer who, like prac-
tically all the others, has little to do
now except to wait for the reappear-
ance of vanished business, l don't
know any better way to spend my time
than by visiting around among my
fellow manufacturers and boosting
their depressed spirits as much as pos
sible. The annual convention of our
association In Nashville last week was
among the best we Nhave ever had In
spite of the fact that manufacturing
conditions are in such a gloomy state.
A spirit of optimism pervaded the con-
vention that augurs well for the fu-
ture. The manufacturers are resolved
to do their part towards the earliest
possible sterilization of conditions and
are patiently waiting for the distribu-
tors in general to catch the spirit OF
sacrifice which has captivated the pro-
ducing groups and which Is absolutely
essential to the restoration of normal
conditions.
Our association is preaching the
gospel Of sacrifice, optimism, peace and
good will. We are urging our members
to do all possible to keep their plants
running and their people employed, even
though they have to operate for while
without profit. Some of them, OF
course, can't operate without disaster
to themselves. But in most instances
they are making very heroic efforts to
do So
among the many things discussed
at the state convention last week was
the subject of employment relations.
The manufacturers are impressed with
their obligations in this connection and
are imbued with a spirit of determina-
ton to keep Tennessee in the front
ranks of those states which are prac-
ticalIy free from labor disturbances
"They feel, however that this cannot
be done by concession to radical doc
trines imported from Europe or by the
sacrifice of any part Of the immortal
principles upon which this great repub-
lie is founded.
an conformity with this spirit and
belief the convention unanimously re-
affirmed its position on the question OF
employment relations in the resolution
drafted by the resolution committee, OF
which Fred Arm. of Chattanooga, was

chairman
The resolutions on relation OF en-
ployment adopted were as follows:
Resolved, by the Tennessee Manufac-
turers' association in annual meeting
assembled:
First, that the association does
hereby reallirm its position heretofore
adopted with reference to relations be-
tween employer and employee, namely.
that we recognize the right of en-
ployes TO organize to demand and in
sist upon healthful and safe working
conditions and just compensation for
services rendered,
Second. that we regard the consid-
eratiohs of humanity, Justice and fair
dealing between all members of society
as the basic principle on which the re-
lations between employees and en-
ployers should rest, and insist that
guided by these principles no person
should be refused employment or in
any way Disseminated against on ac-
count of membership or non member
ship in any labor organization.
Third, that this association go on
record as not opposing the contractual
relations between labor organizations
and employers; provided, 1) that such
contract should be equally binding on
both parties to the engagement and
that such labor organization entering
into such contracts win assume re-

legislature in 1903, only seven years
after the state had been founded. This
statute has but once been changed, and
that in 1895 when n law was passed to
make hearing on Sunday Illegal and an
indictable offense
The 1903 statute, ms given In Shan
mons code, says: "If any merchant.

person shall be guilty Of doing or OK

1t was not until 1891 that law was
passed making the carrying on Of the

Test Of Law.
The Sunday law has been subject to
many interpretations by the courts OF
various parts of the state and at diff
1erent times in the history OF the state.
.fhe most famous cases in court records
bearing upon 1t are the supreme court
decisions in the Nashville baseball club
cases and in the Howell Graham case.
The contention of many lawyers Is
that while the statute of 1903 merely
provides a light penalty for violation
OF the Sabbath, that in addition the
sanctity of that day is well recognized

common law bearing on this point has
become part of the basic law of the
state of Tennessee. This contention is
recognized in the case of Howell Ora
