BYPRESBYTER|ANS

Final Action on Proposed
Board Consolidation.

The sixty-ninth General Assembly
Of the United Presbyterian Church
was adjourned yesterday afternoon
after deciding to defer action on the
question of consolidation Of the major
boards of the church. and after an
nouncing the members of standing
committees and officers for the ensu-
ing year.
The problem of the merging of the
major board, the Freedmen's missions,
home missions, board of church erec-
ton and extension and the board of
ministerial relief. was before the Gem
eral Assembly several times. but was
consistently opposed by the special
committee on the General Council,
which recommended separation of the
boards from the council. This course
of action. however, was steadily op-
posed by the finance committee, which
advocated the consolidation of the
boards in the interest Of economy and
efficiency.
Nominations Made.
The nominating committee sug-
gested the following names. which
were unanimously elected by the Cen
eral Assembly.

in Albany to support a bank bill

Friendly With Editors.
Politically. Governor Smith has
shown himself an artist in arranging
meetings of newspaper editors of New
York city. knowing newspapermen
are just as susceptible to flattery and
every whit as vain as other human
beings. the governor has given them
dinners, invited their confidence and
explained in detail all about what he
had cndeavored to accomplish, not
only In behalf of the taxpayers but
the rent payers. He has done this
for three or four years, did it this
year, and ii has worked like charm.
Then, too, he has had rural editors
over at the mansion in Albany, has
given them a tempting feed and has
let them in on what he was doing for
the states citizenry. Remarkable as
il may seem the governor has lost
nothing in Kind words. not even in or
thodoN Republican weekles.
What he may have done. or may
do. tn climb higher on the ladder of
political prestige. the most perpleN-

day he talks to newspaper men on
State business, but. even to them, on
national affairs he remains as mute as
a fiddle without strings or bow. He
is so guarded he is miles away from
what he was once as a news producer
Day after day this Winter New
York newspapers have been without
first page yarn from Albany. and even
Monday mornings, when space is not
so scarce, Albany has not been on the
front sheet. When the governor says
anything that could be remotely con-
strued as having any connection with
national problems he talks off the
record" which buttons every lip and
locks every typewriter. Instead of
being the frank and fearless Al who
came here two decades back it would
be as consistent now to refer to Isl
lent Al" in Albany as it is to speak
of Silent CAL in Washington.
One of group of Senators and As
semblymen inquired the other day
what Al was doing to get the NOM
ination for President, and someone
responded, Nothing" To those with
eyes TO see, ears to hear and brains
to use. the inquiry was logical, but
he reply was loose in the light of what
the governor is doing, and with 100
per cent cleverness, to increase senti-
ment all over the country for al Smith

Water Power As Issue.

His absolute refusal to discuss ma

national campaign. He has admitted
water power will be an outstanding
question and it is his pet hobby as a
State text. He has walloped those
favoring private development of the
States resources and has prevented
them from going forward with any of
their schemes. His chief adviser. so

State expenditures, approXimating

but the State has no right to deprive
any man of his health, the prisons,
some of them, being insanitary.
