THE PARTIAL PAYMENT BILL.

With the passaZe in the senate of the Winslow-ToWnsead Dill ;n the senate un- changed from the way it was favorably acted upon in the ouse, the measure new goes 10 the president for his action
 By this bill the secretary of the treas ury Is directed to make partial payments of the money due 70 the railroads of the country under the qua -ahtee provisions of the transportation act when certified to by the interstate commerce commission
 There is due to the railroads the sum of s340000000 under the government promises and the railroads are seeking to get such parts of it as the interstate commerce commission is prepared to say should be paid for the purpose of getting funds with which to do business and to meet the creditors of the roads who are seeking an adjustment of their debts.
 While there is no getting away from the provision of the transportation act that there is this sum due to the rail roads the point is made that the full payments cannot be made until there has been careful survey of the situation and he exTscndl lures that it may be deter mined just what ought to he paid the roads to make up the losses suffered from the government operation of the lines Nevertheless it is recognized that tht roads are entitled to certain amount: without question. That has already beer established. and it is the purpose of th' hll to authorize the secretary of tht

Nellie certainly did herself proud and | we were just having the salad course | when, to my astonishment Uncle Bob. Betty and Elizabeth appeared. hadn't expected them for days yet.
 I wonder whether shall ever be able te forgive the way Betty greeted me and my guests. It was such frigid politeness that danper was immediately thrown over what had been exceptionally gay
 little party. She did not appear to care
 whether she embarrassed me or not. When
 I suggested crowding them in at the ta-
 ble she said: "oh, TO. we are too travel
 stained We shall just eat q bite in the kitchen"
 Of course this lack of consideration
 Eas most painful to my guests. However, I summoned all the tact have and sim ply made the affair pass of pleasantly, if ne lenger hilaricusly.

THE cAR1NEr SLATE.

The slate which has been given out for the Harding cabinet cannot fail to i'm press the country as being made up of men of ability and integrity, and part. Nl7 larly fitted for the carryingon of the du- ties of the departments of which they will be the heads.
 As has Seen previously stated the choice of 4Ir. Hughes for secretary of state was an aamirable one and with equally good judgment has Mir. Harding acted in pick ing A. ". Mellon of Pitts burgh as secretary of the treasury. It is an important post and man of la ge affairs and thoroughly posted in ilnahce has been chosen.
 For secretary of-the navy Ex-Senator Weeks of Massachusetts will add strength to the cabinet. IIe is man of ability and good Judgment and who, like Edwin Denby who has been ns ned for secretary of the navy, has served in the national legislature. The selection of MT. Denby is one of the surprises in he list for those who indulged in the guessing con- test as to whom would fa'l cabinet posi- tions failed to pick him. Yet he is a man of cabinet caliber, one who has had naval experience, marine veteran of the world war and successful lawyer. 1 For the head of the department of 1 interior Mir Harding has taken a mem her of the present senate Albert B. Fall and there can be TO question but what 1 he is well equipped to direct the affairs fthat department. while Henry C. Wal
 lace for the agricultural department is a specialist in that direction.
 That Herbert c. Hoove- is the man
 for the department of commerce will not be denied. He is admirably qualified
 to direct the duties of that important de- l partment and there are good reasons fol bel ewing that James J. Davis. a former steel worker, nd a banker will be val | uable man as secretary Of labor. For thu rosition of postmaster general the chair man of the republican national committee Will H. Hays. is the choice and he hat
 demonstrated the ability to direct th postal sercice in way that will be {
 credit to thu country and in way t
 give the neoDle the service they pay for
 Some criticism has, been indulged in con
 corning H. NJ Daugherty, the man fo
 attorney general, but eMr. Harding full
 understands that he must be held re . l Spons1Die TOT nlS cdDulet anu He Noucne } for the man of his choice and the coun try will be disposed to accord him fai tryout.
 } Individually and as whole the cabi , ret cannot fail to impress. They are we known, experienced and successful me : and they will be alive to the opportunit which has been given them to rende : their best service to their country.

Galatia. There St Paul is supposed to have founded Christian church to the congregation of which he addressed his 'Epistle to the Galatians In the fourth century the Celtic language was still to be heard in Galatia, according to St. Ga- home.
 "The Celtic invaders were always in the minority and were finally absorbed, v the Norman conquerors of England were absorbed by the Saxons. Many observ- CTS profess to see the effects o. C.:'io blood in the people of Angora today, and describe them as lighter . complss'on than the people of other par1s of the Near East, and the most genial of the Aohammedans of Asia Mi lcr.
 "Ancyra dwindIed' to a village under Celtic rule, but following tn, annex, tion of Galatia to the Roman Empire in 25 B. C. and during the hundred years in which it was maintained as the lto- man frontier province, the city took on great importance. One of the most ia. nous of the ruins of Asia Minor is that of beautiful marble temple in Angora dedi- cated to Rome and Augstin.'
 During the Byzantine period Ancyra l became even more important, its posi- ! tien between Constantinopie and Mesopo- 1 tamia and Persia making Turks it the | metropolis of interior Asia Minor. Tising | ! the fall of Constantinople But Ancyrl was, captured shortly afterwards by the ! Christian Crusaders during one O. tkeir | farthest sorties inland and was held by | them for IS years until 1880, when it | again fell into Turkish hands.
 Though marble reminders of It's an 1 cient glory are scattered about in tne II Angora of today, 1t is predominaHtly a l dingy city of mud brick houses and mar
 row streets. A mosque is built against
 one of the marble walls of the noble old
 Augustan temple. The walls and gate,
 of the city are constructed of fragments ] of demolished Greek and Rome building
 colonnades and other structures.

 north of which are fertile valleys ant to the south, of which stretch plain
 merging finally into great desert. Oi these southern plains are pastured larg | herds of sheep, and goats with long silk, ! hair which have made the name, Angors familiar. to western ears. Large qhanti l ties of wool and mohair are expected. Cats. and to a less extent dogB an , other animals in the neghboFhQod of An [ gora have unusually long silky hair. i 1 is believed that the climate and perhap . the soil of the region are responsible fo

Uncle Bob and Betty took little Eliza beth and motored into Indiana a little over a week ago to visit several friends The day after they left home, I telephen' ed Mollie, the maid, and asked how she was getting on all alene

MT. Editor: It gives me iMNeasnFAbie pleasure te answer Mir. TeoiaEd'a ssesnd letter because he raises questions sS easily answefebie,
 To the first question make ths eeHH- ter-attack that theee is no eontFartety Be- tween MT. Coates statement that sunday laws are reijgious-and my stateHent'
 Sunday laws are characterised ey me as un-Amerieaa, uausereL criminal ana un-Christian-
 The meaning of iFreligieus is net teana in my article as MT. TrOIaHa states it e.
 MT. Coates is tight to assert Sunday laws are religious laws 9aeFe ts loe' ical distinction between religious law and & moral law. Religious involves form of worship and moral alluAeS h right and wrong as determined by duty. Webster defines a meralist as "ens wac is moral but not religious" 8 tAefe may be an accepted morality Wfeeat Is- lieion and religion without r1oreilfy' Tne word unchristian used by me e equava- lent to immoral and Is not synenypous with irreligious for Christ preoetermtA, ately came to preach the moral law eza- bodied in the Ten CoTqmandments and only relatively thereto proclaimed re- ligion which is a form of worship. There are many false religions cF forms of worship but the moral law II necessary for the human re'e as the l ground of all religion. The Aim or Crriss | is to ineu;cate the basie principle of that law which is love to God and leVe te man in the hearts of men: that 1t may bear fruitage in true religion CT WeEsnip Sunday laws are unchr1stlan because ne' founded on the moral law which YeaAi 'the Seventh Day is the Sabbath ef tht Lord thy God" Sunday is admittedly the first day of the week Sunday law are religious laws because they deA with forms of worship irrespective O morality. Sunday laws are un-AmeTteai because of federal Consultation fosnIAl religious forms to be enforced. Sunda. | laws are criminal because they invade thi Divinely given rights of Sthers-eqen t' the eondscation of goods and 9fepert:
 and life.
 The second question Mr. TrotanA rais
 es refers to the Kingdaui of Cod as men tioned in our Lords example of praye
 recorded .by Saint Luke in his Gospel t11th chapter and second verse Tn; Kingdom come ." as in Heavel so in earth" The pith of my first istte in this controversy is that Ged's kins dom in this earth is to come by preach , ing, persuasion, tT inc power pf the Hel l Spirit and not by force nor enactment : of earthly goTernmepts. MT. TrGan I admonishes rue to pray in sincerity tn ? aforementioned g,etition of St. Luke Gospel. I certainly do for that is whs , I am advocating in both my letters th; ;. as the angels i7 Heaven obey Ged's con ~ mands not from force but by choice, lo' y and persuasion, we may do the same an 9 not sanction abemipable, earth-bol t Sunday legislation. I am glad the Col s necticut Constitution grants liberty e conscience in this matter and that N n Treland informs us oq this Rsint. Di

D4SGERoUs PRACTICES.


 Many are the cases which have direct ed attention to the practice resorted to by children of jumping on behind moving vehicles to "catch ride" Many even are the instances when the drivers of such vehicles have been almost black Ii ;ted because they attempted to and Gid drive the children away when they were Simply having some fun and do- ing no harm"
 The practice always was one that in volved more Or less danger and such ''meannfss" as developed from the driver was only for the purpose of protecting the children against injury The dan- ger was bad enough when there were only horse drawn vehicles involved but with motor cars so numreous and attractive to the youngsters there is greater reason not only for keeping off those trying to nook a ride" but for impressing upon the children the danger involved and the need of using safety first measures for their own good.
 It is not always the vehicle onto which they jump tha, offers the real danger but others in front of which they dodge hen catching on or running away. Aa instance of this kind occurred in a Mass achusetts town this week when a boy i tied his sled onto the back of a trolley car. Everything was going well unti the car stopped suddenly to avoid some thing in front and the boy was crushed | between the car and an auto following which coud not avoid pumping the car It was one Of those needless deaths whicl l There is a lesson in every such fatalit, tfat ought not to be lost by those wh heedlessly indulge in similar stunts. l cannot be disregarded that what seem like simply fun frequently involves gray
 danger It is far better to be safe tha
