BIBLE CRITIC

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Oct. 6
G.N.SD-The Missouri conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
was on record today with a resolu.
ton of apology for an alleged lin
suit" which the conference de-

ministers and church members in
an address here Saturday by
Samuel Wyre, of Columbus, Ohio.
Wyre. a consulting engineer, told
his audience that the bible was
obscene" and consisted chiefly of
Egyptian myths"
The resolution, presented by DR..

conference, stated Wyre took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to dis
claim his belief in the Bible and
criticize the Christian church and
its doctrines.

The next President of the
United States will, for the first
time, be chosen under the new
Twentieth or "anti-lame-du
Amendment to the Constitution.
While voters of the nation will
flock to the polls on November g.,
the President actually will be
elected on January 6, when the
Senate and House, in joint seS-
sion, count the electoral votes.
And if the election is thrown
into the House because no preSi-
Dental candidate, as predicted by
Father Charles E. Coughlin, wins
a majority Of the electoral votes,
the election may be delayed in
definitely.
A compilation of constitutional
provisions affecting the election,
issued today by Secretary Edwin
A. Halsey, of the Senate, shows
the many contingencies which
may arise.
Before the "anti-lame-d duck"
amendment was adopted, Congress
counted the electoral votes in De-
Cember following the election, but
the President was not inaugurated
until March 4.
In Office January 20
Under the new amendment, the
President will be inaugurated on
January 20, just two weeks AFTER
the counting of the ballots.
First, if no candidate has a
majority of the electoral votes,
then the House of Representa-.
tives chooses the President. The
House must choose from tie first
three highest in the number OF
electoral votes. Many hackers of
Representative William Lemke,
Union party candidate, hope that
neither President Roosevelt nor
Governor Alfred M. Landon will
get a majority of electoral votes
and that Lemke. being third,
will be eligible for election by
the House.
Secondly, If one Senator and
one Representative object to the
vote of any State, proceedings
are halted and the Senate and
House vote on the question. The
vote must be put after two hours
debate.
Third, II a President shall not
have been chosen by January 20
the Vice President.elect acts as
President. If he has not quail
fled, Congress may determine
who shall serve.
Process Is Speeded
Under the modern-day system
of speedy communication, count,
ing of votes in the electoral col
lege has become a mere formal
ity. Only if objections are made
to the vote of a State, or if no
candidate has majority, would

become important in congress,

BURGOS, Oct. 6 G.N.SO.-
seldom get back to Burgos these
days. Never have travelled so
much on an assignment. I figure
now that my total mileage from
the beginning of the war to date
is more than 1000. Our courier
car which has travelled every day
from Burgos to the French from
tier town of Saint Jean Pied de
Port and back covered in the first
two months of the war nearly
the distance around the world.
The distance is 200 miles to
the frontier, or 400 for the round
trip, and so trips on so days
makes $4,000 miles, which is
quite a number of miles. 1t
takes 10 hours for the round
trip, because, although we can
cruise at 10 miles an hour for
the first three hours out of Bur
COS the last part of the trip,
only one-fifth of it in miles, takes
two more hours. it is over the
Pyrenees, on the most winding
trail it has ever been my mis-
fortune to encounter. The driver
has developed perceptible in
crease in his arm muscles from
pulling the car around something
over 100 sharp bends twice
day.
ShrOuded In Mist
Most of the time, too, this
mountain road is shrouded in
mist. Sometimes though it is
clear and we get beautiful view.
Those remote valleys are peace
itself, and the war seems very far
away until a band of young Re |
quotes steps out of the woods,
halls us and demands our pass.
Just now we ran out of gaSo- |
line for the very first time. Old
"Chadders," our expert driver
and diplomat plenipotentiary for
police matters, had never let the
gas run out before. He usually
carries full supply for the round
trip in extra cans. Deeply cha
grined, he took couple of cans
and started out to find a garage.
1t was about dusk and the rest
of us waited by the roadside.
Three groups of local maidens
came down the road singing pa
triotic songs of the Requetes and
the Phalangists. They swung
along in squads of four to six
We waited for them to get right
up to us then lifted our hands
and shouted fiercely viva Es-
pana!" They all shouted back
viva Espana" And went off
staggering with laughter. Pretty
soon they came back again and
before Chadders returned with
the gas they had repeated the
performance a dozen times. Not
so much excitement in this part
of Spain for years.
But it got dark and we hunted
up a farmhouse where they took
us into the kitchen and gave us a
glass of dark purple wine. The
head of the household, a gnarled
old man, proudly told us he had
been in America. He observed:
"A fine country, but 1
couldn't speak the language, so
1 left"
"HOw long were you there?"
Eight years."

ALL-AME RICANS

ALL-AmEKlC
In the midst of the open season
on picking All-Americans and
what have you. in order to up
hold a reputation gained during
the past season as prognosticator
par excellence, the Quarterback
began some weeks ago to compile
figures preparatory to. the selec-
ton of a few All-teams.
After weeks of extensive sur
vey one conclusion was reached,
to-wit: that compared to compil-
ing All-Americans, filling out in
come tax returns is child's play
and Einstein's Theory a soft snap.
So much for the figures,
However, not wishing to diSap-
point the readers (?) of this col
umn, an All.American has been
secured. Not an All-American
team, to be sure, picking eleven
men from the host of football
players in the country is too much
to ask, but an All-American squad
of SO players. Our three full
teams packing wealth of foot
ball material, speed, power, sta
bility, brains, and what have you.
Herewith is the All-American
squad for 1886, compiled by Jack
Moore, newspaper man in our
midst, who has kept close track of
the leading players on the leading
teams of the country. Jack ad-
mits that the smaller teams have
many star performers, but such a
selection must of necessity be linn
tied. Not even an All-American
squad can scratch the surface of
football as it is played today.

MANILA, Dec. 6. tUP,),--,Th1
Philippine archipelago, robust ana
optimistic, has started its second
year as a commonwealth.
81 am proud Of the record we
have made" declared President
Manuel L.. Quezon, the slight,
sharp-featured Filipino leader on
whose shoulders rests most Of the
responsibility for developing what
ID, 900, 900 Filipinos expect to be-
come an Independent republic in
1916.
"We will try to make under
this government practical DEM
onstration Of the possibilities yet
ahead of the so-called capitalistic
system and hope thereby to see
the social unrest felt among our
people greatly reduced, if not
completely eliminated" he said.
owe aspire to nothing humanity
unattainable, but social justice is
attainable and we mean to have
it."
The United States has given
great liberty to the commonwealth
government during the l0-year
transition period which is to pre-
cede. independence for the insular
domain the United States took
from Spain in 1898.
GAINS. ARE APPARENT
Most neutral observers agree
that President Quezon'S admins
tration has made notable strides
in it's first year,
The end of the commemorative
first year found the government
well organized, business booming
governmental finances in sound
shape, potential Filipino army
of 100000 men in the embryo
stage, and general interest in
expanding foreign trade.
Under the expert guidance OF
Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, former
chief of staff of the y. S. Army,
young men at the rate of 100000
annually are taking military train
ing, an officers training school
has been opened and equipment
for the army is rapidly taking
form.
Plans have been prepared for n
vast program of national develop
ment, including extensive refores-
tation, demonstrating Of idle lands
and construction of dikes and
other measures for food control.
President Quezon has madez prog
ress cautiously, however, keeping
a constant eye to the condition OF
the commemorative finances.
LARGER SURPLUS SHOWN
The insular government operat-
cd during the first eight months
of 1886 with a surplus, showing a
substantial gain in surplus over
the same period in 1885, accord
ing to the auditor generals re-
port.
Next to the Forthcoming trade
conference with the United States,
President Quezon has shown great
est interest in lettering conditions
for the laboring classes.

fact that during the first year OF
the commonwealth, the National
Assembly enacted every measure
