of theology alone are fitted to discuss
 church matters, and who frown upon
 open, honest discussion of those mat
 ters by laymen, and that class of
 ehurch-goers who refuse to consider
 the possibility of there being any
 thing at all wrong with the church they honestly love. People hate to offend those latter especially, prefer
 ring to leave them undisturbcd in their attitude of reverence for any thing or anyone connected with that church.
 It is very true that the class of people outside the ministry, capable of discussing theological matters wisely, Is limited. It is equally true that the class of clergymen capable of discussing matters outside the church wisely, is limited. But the third truth is important, and 1t is in regard to it that Bishop Lawrence's remark is significant Laymen, the man in the street if you will, arc in a far better position to tell what people are thinking than are the clergymen, before whom such man in the street, is very apt to remain silent out of respect for the cloth or out of humble realization of the superior educational advantages of the minister Of the gospel But what the people are thinking" is of great importance to the church if the con cern of the church is with tke thoughts of the people, as it is hum bly suggested it should be. For as a man thinketh, so is he in many cases.
 Many man, trying to live prop erly, would feel far differently toward the church if he felt free to ask the why's and wherefores of certain things. More open discussion of church matters certainly would bring a better understanding to the people of the fact that, back of all dignity and reverence-beyond all, form, | simple or elaborate, the church-all l churches-are honestly calling to all | men and women to come and find the | joy that comes from thorough under | standing of and belief in the things l taught in that sanctuary.

CRITICISM OF CHURCHES.

Bishop Lawrence, of the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts, declares that the church needs constructive criticism. "Of course public critic should be sure of his facts" he says. And T believe, however that the national council should know what people are thinking, and that criti- cism or approval should come more fully o,ft into the open"
 This statement by Bishop of the Episcopal church indicates great advance in free thought Rarely is public criticism of the church made by anyone other than a person of the extreme tendencies of such an one as Rev. Percy $. Grant, for in- stance. There are two classes of people who object so strenuously to adverse criticism of the church that many deep thinkers, observing what they believe to be faults, refrain from suggesting possible improve ment. They prefer to remain silent. knowing that the faults they may think they see do not interfere seri- ously with their own worship, and seeing no way to quietly present their criticisms in way that will do good. Tn these two classes are clergymen who consider that students

CLAIMS RUTHENBERG WAS
 ADVOCATE OF SABOTAGE
state Calls Five Witnesses in Attempt To Prove Case Against Alleged
 Radical

St. Joseph, Mich, April 20 tBy the Associated Press) s)-Five witnesses, the first, George Bridgeman, sheriff of Berrien county, were called by the state today in the trial of Charles F.. Ruthenberg of Cleveland, charged with violation of Michigan's anti syndicalism law
 The defense was disclosed in part yesterday by Frank r. Walsh, attor- ney for Ruthenberg, when in his opening statement following compile ton of the jury after four days of effort he asserted that the defendant did not attend the communist party convention near here last August as delegate but as member of the national executive committee of the party to urge his plan for transferring the party's activities to the legally recognized workers party.
 Charles Gore, prosecuting attorney of Burrien county, in his address to the jury explained the syndicalism law and stated the state would seek to show that Ruthenberg and his CO., defendants who were arrested in the raid on the convention advocated sabotage, force and violence 8s means of bringing about government reform.

"PATERNALISN."

The present habit of regulating people is not confined to those who keep crying don't" The "regula- tors" have had the best of it so far, and the chief danger to our personal liberty has come from movements in- stigated by them. But while this matter is of such great importance, the spreading of the paternalistic idea to the class of people who, in- spired by warm hearts probably say do" should be noted. Paternalism which regulates by forbidding certain things flor the peoples own good" is bad as interfering with proper freedom in some cases, but paternal- ism which regulates by taking care of people financially at the expense of others is bad, also. We may be too easy as well as too narrowly severe. Both kinds of paternalism arc de- structive of individuality and abso- lutcly opposed to the spirit of this country. It is almost as bad to fur nish free coffee for everybody who can't afford to buy 1t. as it would be 1p forbid the drinking of coffee.

MAY LEAD ID NEW
 PERIOD OF DESIGN
Inconpleted Nebraska Capitol Has
 Influence on Architecture

Ohama, April 2o.-The astonishing influence that the new capitol or | Nebraska, now under construction seems to be having on present day architectural design, leads 10 the. sue
 gestion that Nebraska may be des- fined to be the cradle of worth while American architecture, accord ing to Thomas R. Kimball, of this city, past president of the Amerlcah Institute of Architects.
 "Nebraska has blazed the pathway that is leading the world to aesthetic architectural freedom in this new state capitol" states MT. Kimball. ..The influence of this new building is being felt, as is shown in the re-
 cent Chicago Tribune competition where among 200 or more submls- sions. most of the noticeable efforts were clearly traceable to this capital. Extreme Simplicity Favored
 Extreme simplicity has taken the place of elaboration, resulting in great saving in cost without loss of dignity. There are several points of arrange
 ment that are peculiar to this build ing. one of which is that the usual useless dome is replaced by an equai- ly monumental and wholly useful tower, wherein space for storage of state records is provided, adequate for a century"
 "The architect has drawn from nearly every known style, type and period of architecture and in their combination at once detled precedent and achieved a striking success
 MT. Kimball stated that it might we'll lead to new and lasting type of architecture.
 "This new ca s.tol not only shatters accepted tradition in its plan. but presents most enlightening example of how, without stupidly adapting or covering, we may avail ourselves of our full heritage of design" he added. This new capitol has at least chal- lenged the assumption that this age of material things, with its new client "the people" may be going to have worthy and lasting architecture of it's own, accomplished both because of and in spite of the commercialism that so dominates the here and now.'"
 The new capitol will be approx imately 440 feet square, covering al- most four acres, and will cost the state about s5,o0O.000. The basement will be below the grade, first floor forming a terrace entirely around the building, and main floor bringing the parapet to a height of 51 feet from the ground level. The tower rises from the center to a height of 400 feet and is surmounted by col lossal figure called "The Sower.' It will be so feet square at the base and taper only slightly as it rises. It Is a square severe shaft, pierced on each of its four sides by long continuous terminating in "a graceful dome. The lower portion of the tower will contain the main rotunda. Above will be a dozen floors of offices hous- ing many of the state departments.
 The main entrance is from the north, by means of broad flight of

CONNECTICUT JUSTICE.

A young colored man was acquitted of charge of second degree murder by jury composed of white men at Middletown last night. 1t was al- legged by the state that he had caused the death by shooting of two white residents of Cromwell. The shooting was conceded. The only question which arose was whether there was Justification for the homicides.
 The trial was devoid of ramifica- tions. It was clear case of one man causing the death of two other men. Incidents which led up to the shooting were described by witnesses and while it could not be shown that the prisoners life was endangered by the acts of the men he killed, enough evidence was adduced to prove that he was not originally the aggressor in the dispute in which he was out numbered but was minding his own business. The jury spent less than eight hours in arriving at verdict of acquittal.
 This is a sample of Connecticut justice. Our juries, for the most part, consist of hard headed men who want the facts without any frills. The decision is a notice to other states in the union that a man may have a fair trial in Connecticut and may be assured of justice regardless of race or creed.

SUGAR.

The price of sugar began to rise. There was no real reason for it, ap- parently, as there was not a scarcity of the commodity which is listed as to the investigation" the resort of administrations when something is it be rectifed. The price of sugar did not come down. The government knew the facts, in a way. Specula- tors were buying and selling" sugar with no intention of delivering it or of accepting deliveries which no one intended to make.
 The thing to do was so obvious that the most ignorant could see it. This tking, of course, was to appeal to the courts to stop such specula- ton, at least while the investigation dragged out its weary red tape. The necessity for this first step was so plain that no subtle arguments could pretend that it could not be taken.
 So the Department of Justice brought suit to prevent the organiza- tions where these speculators oper- ate from allowing such operations, and to prevent the spectators from operating in this way--one which made fictitious price for sugar. The government asks that they be enjoined from entering into or allow ing transactions involving the pur- chase, sale and delivery of sugar, un- less they are in position to deliver, accept and pay for the sugar--unless the transaction is made in good faith, in other words,
 The tariff may have had something to do with the increase in price; the fact that with general employment in this country the demand for sugar is greater, and the fact that certain crops did not come up to expectations may have had something to do with 1t. But this action should bring lower sugar prices and, unless the defendants, the spectators and the Sugar and Coffee Exchange and Clearing house find some technical legal loophole to crawl through, the situation is bound to be improved

EARTHQUAKES EVERY DAY

Washington, April 20. - Earth auakes are no rarity in the earth's experience. An average of 12 of them in fact occur every day, according to a paper read by Dr. J. E. Woodwork before the American Geophysical union.
 In the month of May Dr. Wood worth said there are an average of 27 earthquakes day while the average declines to a minimum in December. The study covered thousands of re- corded earth shocks over a period of years including total of 6,404 which occurred in 1907.
