TENETS ARE REAFFIRMED.
Washington Presbytery Criticizes

The Presbytery of Washington at its
stated meeting this month took the
following action:
We earnestly reaffirm our un-
swervlng loyalty to the historic
standards of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America, as
containing the system of. doctrine
taught in the Holy Scriptures, the one
infallible rule of faith and practice.
I'VE deplore the manifold charges
and counter charges concerning our
historic standards, all departure
from the cardinal doctrines of holy
Scriptures or all Impeachment Of its
supreme authority, all ill-censored
and intemperate discussions of the
things Of Christ, all irregular and
factious intrusion upon our church ad-
ministration, and Loyalty trust for re-
dress and restored peace and brother
hood in the recognized constitutional
methods to which we have given ad-
herence in the solemnity of our ordi-
nation vows.
I'VE pledge anew our feaIty TO
Jesus Christ and to the Church in
which He has made us overseers. and
we request our members and adher-
ents to unite with us that we may be
kept faithful to the great Head of
the Church, that we may keep the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace, and that we may permit no
distraction or disloyalty in our ODE
dance to our Great CommiSs ioner.
I'VE rejoice and thank God that
the ecclesiastical differences of the
year have not hindered the large
and sensitive interests of our boards
and agencies and congratulate es-
pecially our board OF foreign mis-
sions upon it's extraordinary vic
tory over oppressive and threaten
ing burdens. so that it closes the
ecclesiastical year without deficit
We insist on the teaching of
sound doctrine in all educational in
stitutions, pulpits and Sabbath
schools under the control of our
church. and witness against all distor-
tionS or peryerSions of the plain
teachings OF Scriptures, that the pur-
ity and power of the faith once for
all delivered to the saints may be
preserved for the coming genera
tions."

TWO STORIES WITH ONE MORAL.

Two little items in the reports tell story
that should be of interest to everybody. One is of
a negro, former slave who died in Michigan, leav-
ing an estate of 100000. The other relates how
James Flannery has worked So years steadily in one
tool shop in Massachusetts,.
Whenever you hear talking about the
proletariat," think of this pair The old slave had
nothing to start with but his head and his hands.
He had strong back, and a stronger will, and long
ago he out Of reach of poverty, and beholden
only to his own industry and thrift. James Fan-
merry landed in North Easton in 1865, and two days
later got job in tool factory He still has job
there.
Neither of these men heard the call Of the
wild, nor did the wanderlust stir their blood.
Chances are that neither of them has spent much
time abusing the government or wondering what
would happen to the world if they would quit work.
Each felt the urge to work, to save to some
thing every day and to lay aside little of it.
That is ALL John D. Rockefeller started with
nothing, and Henry Ford had little Neither
is accident. They possessed brans and will.
ingness to work. On this foundation they erected
two of the nobest fortunes the world ever gazed
upon.
The story has been repeated many, many times,
but it does not lure like that of the soapbox orator.
who tells his hearers Of their woes and Of how they
are wage slaves worse, and urges them to a
bliss in which the wealthy will wait the beck and
call of the poverty-strcken. No such place exists,
but poverty will always have with long as
the worker spends all he earns, and trusts to get it
back again through some political hocuspocus

LAW CATCHES ANOTHER cULPRIT.

Two burning questions were answered by Jury
In federal court in Kentucky, when Congressman
John w. Langley found guilty of conspiracy
in connection with liquor charges. First, the law
is sufficient to deal with offenders il given half
chance. Second, the administration at Washington
is not idle in enforcing the law
If the administration were inclined to show
lenency to offenders Langley might have been
subject for such treatment. He has served long
and usefully in congress, a republican and is now
chairman of the house committee on public build
ing and grounds. If political influence were a de-
termining factor he would have had its full benefit
When his connection with liquor frauds was de-
veoped by grand jury investigation at Chicago,
the machinery of the law put into motion, and
now this congressman stands shorn of his honors
and in the shadow of prison because of his crime.
If Governor Pinchot and some of the others who
complaining that President Coolidge is lax in
his attitude toward the Vostead act were to devote
some of their energy to actually securing enforce
ment of that act, better results would be noted
son, the dry agent charge of forgery is fol-
lowed by the conviction of Langley, congressman
on charge of conspiracy. Just little patience
part of the people will be helpful. The law
moves slowly, but it does move.
Calvin Coolidge is not respecter of persons,
direction the proper agencies of government will be
exercised to the fullest extent in protecting the
people in all their rights

Omaha-yo the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: When the senate passed
the revenue bill last Saturday, it was
with a distinct understanding that
some time this week n vote would be
taken on the McNary-Haugen bill, de-
signed TO relieve agricultural distress
by providing an export outlet. Sena-
tor Norbeck was dissuaded from add
ing the farm relief bill as n rider to
the revenue law, being given the
promise that needs OF the farmer
would get attention. Norbeck has
been listed as a radical, but the chief
evidence he has shown In that direc-
tion has been an intense desire TO get
action on some of the promises that
have been made the farmers. II this
constitutes a radical. a lot of such
radicals may be found in the fields Of
the middewest with much effort
President Coolidge five aud a half
months ago asked congress TO do
something for the farmer. What is
the result? A combination OF demo
Gratis and insurgents have defeated
every measure the administration has
brought forward. When the president
asked for continuance Of the War
Finance corporation, with authority
~ ih"hc Ioaha W heip oui Nhcal Idtin
ers in North Dakota, the bill was
voted down. The president then called
a conference and arranged for cor
poration among tho fnanclers to
carry on.

came on for vote, the democrats de
serted their allies of the farm bloc.

loading IL down with ALI sorts of
amendments, chief of which came

WE FAIL TO ENTHUSE.

An eastern Nebraska newspaper prints in a
prominent place the story of boy in its community
who recently shot magnificent specimen of the
American eagle, the bird having a wing spread Of
six feet. The exchange says the young man in
question "is of the proudest young men in Blank
county,
We fail utterly to enthuse the exploit OF
the young man, and find it impossible to congratu-
late him upon his exploit. The American eagle is n
bird, and II Is cruel shame to kill of them

little less than desecraton. Killing eagle Just for

dinal, or shooting mocking bird, or banging away
at a bunch Of robins
The exchange reports that the young man saw
a bird in tree, and realizing that it was not COM
to this latitude, brought it down with we'll di-
rected shot. 1t truly wonderful exploit, this
thing of killing magnificent bird because it is
not common to this latitude Something to be proud
Of indeed this Staying of one of the few remaining
specimens of the great American eagle About the
best thing we can say of the young who is so
proud of having killed American eagle is that if
he is proud of that sort of exploit, then killing
American eagle is just about the kind of exploit
he would be proud of.
