The question of Improving the laws and regulations relating to automobiles Is attracting considerable attention in France, and a draft has been made of certain new regulations for legislative consideration, relates Harper's Week . ly. In the licensing of chauffeurs it Is proposed that each applicant must pos sess a medical certificate lit order to . have men of absolutely sound health In charge of motor cars. It has been found that In numerous Instance In France chauffeurs have been In poor physical condition, either from over work or various bodily Infirmities, and even a case was encountered where an epileptic was In charge of an automo bile. It is now proposed that hero- after a physician shall certify that each candidate for a chauffeur's license Is sound both mentally and physically. With present high speed touring cars and the necessity for keeping the most careful lookout and controlling the ma chine absolutely, the problem becomes closely akin to the running of a loco- motive and the move of the French authorities would seem to be a move In the right direction.

TILLuA!) WILL LEAH In Scrota Fl-ht for Hepburn V.zllrczi Rita Bill. DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL Their Votes In Committee Meeting Did the Work . Republicans Badfy Bp.'it Over ttte Oe, t Question. A Washington 'special says; By tak ing advantage Just at the right time of the opportunity presented to them Friday, the democrats of the senate interstate commerce committee hot only succeeded in forcing a favorable report upon the Hepburn bill Just as It oame from the house, but succeed ed In getting possession of the bill, which has been much touted as the administration measure. The net result of the day's action, studied from a strategical standpoint, it that all the credit tor taking this advance toward securing adequate legislation must go to the democrats. Thus, in the great fight to come over the rate aftestldn in .the senate, the democrats have all the advantage of position. The bill will be In the hands of Senator Tillman, senior democrat upon the committee, and under his leader ship the democrats will see to it that rothlng is permitted to stand in the way of the enactment of an adequate rate law. After the committee had adjourned Senator Tillman held a levee in his committee room. There were present several democratic senators to con gratulate him upon the practical vic tory secured by the party In getting control of the rate bill, and there were also present several newspaper men. When reference was made to' pos sible conferences between - him and the president of the United Rtates upon whom he loses no opportunity to empty the vials of his wrath, Sen ator Tillman said: ,. "Well, It is a rather unexpected and ridiculous 'situation, but if any one has an idea that I am going to make a farce of it, with myself as the clown, they are badly mistaken. Those who imagine I am not going to fight for an effective railroad bill are way off their base. I do not see why my selection as the member to have charge of the measure should go to wards allaying the feeling throughout the country in regard-to railroad mat ter. I am certainly not going to lend myself to any scheme of sidetracking or undermining the efforts to get cor rective legislation. "The senate should be relieved of white house dictation, and ve should be at liberty to do our duty In ac cordance with our oaths of office, and our duty to our states and constit uents under the constitution. .In all seriousness, I am not 'going to put myself in any position or allow any thing to happen to sidetrack the ef fort to get a good law. My frankness and reputation, I think, will preclude the possibility of suspicion that I am In this bill as a Joker.

BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BISHOP BURGESS. BY BuVJeot t Chnreb (lUile, : Brooklyn, N, x.-Elshop Burgess preached Sunday morning in the Lhurch of the Redeemer. The occasion Was the dedication of the beautiful memorial organ, a' gift to the church. The bishop spoke on "Church Music." The text was from Psalm xelv:!): "He that planted the ear, shall He tint hettrJ He that formed the eye, shall lie not see" uisnop Burgess said during his sermon: . This organ, which we dedicate to-' aay, to the glory of God, has beeu placed here in memory of one who was a faithful and devoted -worshlner In this church, George Parker, There is a peculiar appropriateness In the gift, for church music appealed to blm with an especial power. To make this part of our worship worthy of bur church's traditions, to make its ritual, when ritual of some klud was necessary, seemly and historic, he was willing to sacrifice his time, his money, his strength. It has seemed to me thnt it would not be out of place for me to speak to you to-day of church music and to trace Its history, so that we may be better able to estimate the vain of what must always be an adjunct to the service, the hand-maid, not the mis tress, of worship. . , ' . 'ine Kibie never seeks to Drove the existence of God; The Dronhets. noets. philosophers, historians of the Old Tes tament, as well as the -Anostles and Evangelists of the new, everywhere as sume the Being and Personality of God. They do not argue for this posi tion. - They simply claim It as their right.; Only the fool, and te only un der his breath, can deny the existence of God. But If any argument Is hinted at, it is rather this argument from de sign, which is to-day, after all, the ad vance of modern science, considered the most cogent of them all and which is struck off at white beat, as It were, in this glowing sentence of the Psalm ist, "He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?" The writer may not have known, perhaps, as much of human anatomy and of the physiology of the brain as Professor James, he may not have been as cognizant of "the delicate structure of the eye and ear as one of our modern specialists, but the marvels and the beauty were be fore bis mind In all their power when he wrote those words. It Is an argu ment which the fool alone can set aside, that such things do not come by chance and that in the Supreme Being something corresponding to hearing and seeing exists, that the music which delights the ear of man is known to God, and. the glow of the sunset, the sweet unfathomable beauty of the world, of the stars and of the flowers have their existence primarily for God. The horrified philosopher may call out anthropomorphism," but for my part I do not fear that as much as the im personality of pantheism 'or material ism. ; If it is true, as Professor Bholer says, that the naturalist has a right to conclude that the universe is under the control of power in ways like unto the mind of man then surely we have a right to believe that all our art, our music, our architecture, our paintings and sculpture are heard or seed by God and are pleaslne or unpleaslng te Hint according as they are or are not found- ed upon the princples of truth. Let u not argue about this. Let ns assume it now as we speak of church music. We can watch their ways with oui microscope, but we dare not assert thai they do not heat commands and live in a world of the source of which w know nothing. Go with the universe We -can plow the heavens with the telesenDe. but we know not that what we call the music of the spheres has nc existence and that It is only a poet's fancy which asserts- that the heavens, the stars and the planets accompany the sons of God in their praise of the Father in Heaven. ' " , In all civilized nations I believe music has always had some connection with religion. The Greeks baa no doubt carried it. as they did every art they touched, to a high grade of excellence, In Plato we find music is a constant source of illustration. In those days, as In these, they had the mere must clan. Who .prided himself on his ear and lost the poetry and the meaning of the art "The musicians," one of the characters says bitterly, "put thelt ears in the place of their minds.' "Yes," replied Glaucon, "I like to set their; -laying their ears alongside of their neighbors faces, some saying, That s a new note,' others declaring that the two notes are the same." But for Plato music had a deeper signifi cance and in one single sentence he brings out Its connection with morals. "Simplicity lu music," he says, "was the parent of temperance in the sonl," a truth which we need to remember to-day as never before. But-to the Hebrews the art was sa cred. Miriam with her tlmbals and her dances accompanied her song of victory. The majestic rhythm of the I'sulrus were blended, no doubt, with an equally mnjestlc music. When the people were carried away Into captiv ity their conquerors wanted to. hear them sing their beautiful national airs, But the young voices refused to an swer.. "How can we sing the Lord's songs In a Rtrange land?" Browning has dramatized the scene, but the peo ple must nave b&en naturally musical when the shepherd lad couVd come with his harp and drive away the worst melancholy from the heart of the trou bled monarch. . I doubt not that our Lord loved the moslc of the Temple and that one happy moment In Holy Week was when the children of the Temple, pre sumably the boys who sang this dally service, cried out In homage to their prophet, liosmum to the Sou of Davldl The history of early church service Is obscure, but at the beginning of the seventh century Gregory the Great, the Bishop of Koine, created a new era and probably a reform In the art by Introducing -what was known as the Gregorian tones or modes. I have not technical knowledge enough to assert whether this was original with him or whether he revived an older method. but certain It Is that the Grecoi-ldo i style, if I in. iv uve i-ti a t.-'.n.

' H ( ,1 I I I I Now why, la such dtiiercnt anirtcre do we find such violent and vlrulcn antagonism to church music? Let in I first answer that question, and tlu-u see what It was that softened that antagonism. The reason why music was condemned was because it had become a traitor in the camp. During the Middle Ages the troubadours had invented many beautiful melodies, some of them soft and pathetic, some warlike and some gay. This kind of music has developed along with the sacred, and the church composers and precentors have adopted the "secular tunes and incorporated them into the masses so that the people even sang the profane words instead of those of the Latin liturgy. It Is as if to-day we should have the airs of "Annie Laurie" or "Way Down on the Suwa- nee River" used as a theme for the communion office or played, on the organ at the time of partaking of the Bread and Wine of the Body and Blood of our Lord. This abuse of music be came a scandal in the chancel. Appar- ently choirs and organists had not learned that obedience to the clergy while on trust has now been acquired, and the only way which seemed pos sible to stop the profanity was to si lence the voice of organ and-choir alike.' You may rest assured that while there is some obscurity as to tne real state of affairs, yet the desecration must have been very great when Bcotcn Puritans ana Roman prelates uniiea in their condemnation of the art. What saved it. then? In the Prot estant world it was Luther. His love of music was Intense. He used to play on the liute, and said that the devil fled from Its sound wnen ne piayea He wrote some of the stateliest and noblest of the German hymns. -And If he did not compose the music as well, he certainly superintended its composition. This best of hymn music is really founded on the old method of plain song which Gregory the Great advocated. . - - - tn these revelations which are going on all the time now id the social, the financial and political world, we find that the standard of ethics Is practically that of men who have no faith in tne hearing and seeing God. It Is the morality for the world. Bin is not sin unless it Is found out. Provided the scandal is kept out of sight it is of no conseauence. Large sums will De paia to the most disreputable papers under the guise of subscriptions to keep names out of the scurrilous sheets. Ac counts are tampered with and entries chanced or omitted, so that no one may learn the facts. And afl is done be cause In the eyes of such men the only shame Is the shame of the police courts and the crooned hair and striped gar ments of the prisons. But If the rapid machinery of modern life woum stop long enough for men to think, maybe thev would hear the nsalmlst's ques tion ringing In their ears, "He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that made tne eye, snau tie noi see r -' Morality and music are thus seen to have the same ideal. And the church which will teach the truth of Christ In this world of sin, will have ner organs tnned with the heavenly, ana ner music will not be made to please the ear of man. but to delight the ear or God. No more sublime language ex- lata than thftnassnea in the communion office, "Therefore, with angels' and archangels ana witn an tne company of heaven we laud and magnify Thy clorlous name." The church that uflki these words is speaking only unto God, and the music which must accord with such thought and Ian guage must he the music of a mind ana heart wnicn Deiong uuio me im God Almighty. .
