The Brandon Revival

Brandon Is having a great revival
and the peop,e in that town have
brushed the dust off the family Bible
and have gone to reading the Good
Book as though it We're one of the six
best sellers all because tie Catholic
priest requested that the children Of
his church should be excused in school
from chapel exercises and listening
TO the King James version of the
Scriptures. No shouting evangelist,
not even Billy Sunday in his widest
burst of enthusiasm could have so
stirred Brandon to its Protestant
depths and revealed outraged religious
sensibilities in persons never before
remarkable for their devoutness or
strong convictions in theological or
ecclesiastical matters While the
priest as some authorities claim, was
quite. within his rights and the law Of
the land in the request he made, he
certainly hurt his own cause rs much
as he auickened Protestant belief
when he drove the principal and most
OF the teachers of the school to the
point OF resignation and made the
whole community as fervent and Lively
as camp meeting. Religion is al
ways popular under persecution, and
in the days when it was as much as
their lives were worth to attend de.
vine service, men always crowded the
House of Worship to the doors Ffle
indifference of the present period and
consequent fallng-off in church at.
tendance is not due to irreligion. but
to the fact that Christianity, in be-
coming so strongly established, as it
is, has grown tame and unexciting.
The interchureh Worldwide move
inent will do astonishingly well if It
accomplishes as much for another
town or city as Father Cray has done
for Brandon. Springfield Reporter

Balance of One and 0ne-half

Under Old Ruling.
PUBLIC STILL PAYS TEN

Justice Ashley M. Gould, of the
District Supreme Court, today au-
thorized the Public Utilities Commits
sion to raise the electric rates Of the
Potomac Electric Power Company
from 8 to 81s cents per kilowatt hour.
The public will continue to pay 10
cents per klowatt hour, '1h cents
being impounded, as formerly.
MONEY HELD BY COURT.
Under the ruling of the court today
I the company will continue impounding
the difference between the amount the
consumers pay, 10 cents, and the
amount the company gets. Sh cents
the moneys thus deposited to be re-
turned to the consumer in event the
District Court of Appeals sustains the
Injunction order made by the District
Supreme Court in 1917.
In that injunction the court re-
strained the Public Utilities Commits
sion from decreasing the electric rate
from 10 to 8 cents ordering the differ
ence to be impounded. The court was
asked today by Corporation counsel
Stephens to vacate entirely the in
junction order and allow the rate to
stand at Sh cents, with no moneys
impounded.
In refusing this request, Justice
Gould also ruled against the wishes
of the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations which, represented by Attor-
ney William NICK. Clayton, requested
that the impounding Of the fund be
discontinued. Mr.. Clayton declared
the public will lose in the long run
because thousands have moved away
from the District and will never claim
the refund due them, in event the In
junction of 1917 is sustained by the
Appellate Court.
RAISE RATE HALF CENT.
II doubt very much if there is any
thing the court can do in the present
case, except to modify the order to
permit the increase granted by the
Public Utilities Commission" declared
Justice Gould. THE order will &C
cordingly be modified to the extent
| requested in the recommendations Of
the commission. The difference, now
II. cents. instead of 2 cents, will con-
tinue to be impounded."

DEMAND MEXICO
GUARD j. s. RIGHTS
Government Makes It Plain That
Oil Protest Applies to
All interests.

Vigorous representations have been
made to Mexico in behalf of all Amer
lean rights in that country, 1T was
officially stated today.
The protests which have been made
against the Mexican governments at
titude toward American oil interests
also cover all other vested rights OF
Americans in Mexico, it was stated.
-Four volumes of complaints Of
alleged trespass upon American
rights by the Mexican government
have been filed with the de la Huerta
government.
The laws under which denounce-
ment of claims now operate in Mex
leo are responsible for the legal con-
troversy which has arisen. Officials
here today were plain in their state.
ments that the present controversy is
purely legal.
Under the former constitution of
Mexico, oil or whatever else lay be-
low the surface of the ground was
the property of the owner of the
ground. Under the new constitu-
tion title TO products of the sub-soil
was declared to be vested IN the
government.
This government has protested
against the retroactive features Of
this law, which 1t declares to be
confiscatory, and contends that in
all claims filed prior to the new law
the rights should be vested in the
owners of the lands and not in the
government.
