Parker before the American Bar As sociation at Portland, Me., was quite worthy of the distinguished speaker and may be rend with protit by Jaytnen as well as lawyers. He Inveighs with force and reason against asty legislation, resulting In crude and sometimes unconstitutional laws, and tells the lawyers that one of the: ideals of their association Is to elevate the standard of statute-making. Referring- to the excesses of predatory wealth and the aroused wrath of the people as these excesses became more and more manifest, Judge Parker adverts to the fact that in this "condition of the public mind the demagogue found his opportuni ty, and makes a strong and timely plea for the exercise of Justice in dealing with the corporate Interests of the country. The protest against the abridgement of the power of the States and the centralization of power tit 'Washington is such a one as was to havo been expected f rom so well grounded; and sturdy a Democrat. Though not mentioning it In direct terms, he is evidently shocked by the proposition, of the Boveridge bill (Which, hy Mie way. Mr. Bryan) to forbid .Interpretation of the i endoraed by under a forced commerce and of the con.xlltu transportation, jmwt roaa provision tlon, t to inter-State manufactures into which child labor enters, , A passage In this address which must have great interest in this State Is reproduced here. After reciting that "the attempt on the. part of the FcrT eraL government to despoil the State of the powers and functions belonging to them" have aroused "the indigna tion of the governing force of many of.the States" and that "the tide or speech and writing, if not of puhlie sentiment, has been so strong that only 1iere and there rould be found a person who would attempt to stand against Jt" and "when he was found his motives were discredited." .linlxe Parker further along but in the same connection continues: j "f h.ive In mind mi action In which nn plleution was nuide for Injunction, but, before granting II, counsel representing the pittite, an well hh (hone reiiresenting the plnlmiff. wer- h-tird fully. The JikIko wrote his opinion (lnn then (minted nn Injunction Uton cnnrlitloriH thiit would safeKusrd to the l.im penny every person interested. The rixlit to Brunt hii in junction under such circumstance can not denied, but the propriety of granting, on an m part- implication an Injunction which reruses effect to a statute can and should b nuestlotied." Wc cannot be mistaken in suppos ing that this reference s to the In junction granted by Judge Prltehard againat the enforcement of the new North Carolina passenger rate, for the proceeding in that case In here perfectly described. If we are correct Jn the supposition, then this utterance Is an umiualiflfd endorsement by Judge Parker of Ju.ifre Prltchard and must carry great pleasure to the lit ter. The Greensboro Record observes that "The talk of Mr. Bryan's Mends, that the suggestion by Democrats of a Southern man for President come from Wall Street Influence Is hardly bO'no out by political condition!,. ti,p Re-publicans have always had the .upport of the Wall street element since that party was able to elect a President." And again: "There i no prominent Democrat named u a :propect1ve candllat. fr President. ritner from the South or from the North, that Wall street could domi nate. Wall Street' may not just like President RowAvelt, but it would take him or Secretary Taft with avid ity rather than any Democrat that "ha been serioutsly mentioned." And .nobody, Knows UUj better than those 'who raise the alarm referred to. They have been .infected with the nrvan tr!.t, a h . , L. a - ...... . r, uu ui cry or wall Street" when a Southern man is sU? geoted for President k to make on- m. , w , Wyan odious. To its fcsni be It nald, It Is in the mam tho Southern press that employs thta dis reputable weapon agaljwt a man of th South. ' , ' - - - , . H is to be wondered if the defee tlve rail which , ditched a pawnger train of the Southern Railway near Charlottesville, Va,, yslcrday morn-Inz,- imperilling' the liven 'of ."many pcjpl. wan not one xt the, low grade rail ahich Jt ha been charged the - steel tnift ha been "furnishing the railroads t , the price of the best ' i crJc-r to"Jiilre"lfi'profilA ! i:.u i: i; !. ;!: i : 1 mx, to i.r ;:i,r. iurg Indcx-Api'f il ;.roballe that no one nomination with Mr. thinks it "very will coii'-Ot't the. Bryan in the evert he want it." "In the event, ho wants it'.' If he doesn't want it why is he delivering campaign speeches at all school houses to which he is invited? Further our Petersburg contemporary says: ;.. "Jrt adUltion to the reasonable doubt of Democratic succeps next' yen r, it I a- well accented fact that Mr Bryan Is yet strong enough with the party to de feat the nomination and even the elec tion of any man iot acceptable to him. The attttudu of himself and a rreivt many of his - friends towards Judge Parker In 1904 mayjwel! admonish aspir ants not In full acflbrd with Mr. Bryan" view against the fato la store for them. Tht Mr. Bryan or any man fully iiioh tifled with -Ms doctrines can be elected President of the L'nHed States Js a claim which stagger credulity, unless It should be a Southern man, elected pure ly on a sentiment - of jusUce and gootj will to th section,"; y -r ': -;, This states the case with exactness. There is not a Northern or , Western Democrat of presiJential size who has not the brand of faction oh him. If a man of the Bryan or Hearst type is to be nominated as an overture to disajrter, then Bryan or Hearst should be tha nominee, they being t most thoroughly fepresentative .' of that school of finance and economics. If a man of the opposite creed, a re' Democrat, BhouW be nominated ' he will be slaughtered by the Bryan ele ment, as it slaughtered Judge Parker. Few Southern Democratic leaders are offensively .allied wth factionalism in the party. Nothing could be charged against a Southern , candidate that would arouse factional feeling against him, and nothing otherwise except that nearly forty-five years ago the South was in rebellion though he may then have been an infant in ariris Senator Culberson, of Texas, was Jess than six years old when the civil war began and in view of the South' purblind support of him for twelve years Bryan would hardly have the face to .use the sectional issue against him and nobody else would want to.

Mr. Norrls is an acknowledged expert upon the sub ject of which be write, having long been connected with the business "de partments, of leading New York and Philadelphia ' newspapers, t He s has made an exhaustive investigation, and his brief Is a document of extraordi nary significance.' , . r','r'': ilVo;--Mr. Norrls does not hesitate to say that there is now lmnendimr over the dally newspaper press of New York most serious ' menace vthat ever confronted It; This Is . strong lan guage, and yet his statement of facts seems to : warrant it. An additional burden of 8,000,000 a year in the ex pense account rof sixteen daily news Danera constitutes the menaco of which Mr, Norrls speaks, but thers is a larger menace than that back of these figures, of which account will be given later on. This 13,000.000 , year of added expense Includes .-$2, 160,000 for white paper, $600,000 ad ditional fdr compositors, $20Q,Q00 ad ditional for atereotypers and JtOQ.OOO additional for other labor.- Mr. Nor rls declare that no more than f out papers out . of the sixteen which he represents' could . . make both ends meet upon such terms. He adds that these sixteen papers pay $1,500,000 a year "tribute to organized labor -f,hat is to say, that Is the additional coBt of a closed shop over an open one. He Is not antagonising 'the closed shop, the principle of which he ac cepts, but he- asks how long the news papers will be able to meet these ad ditional charges upon thorn. "We are," he says, "approaching that lim it where our necessities may (force us to stop." ; ' : Here are some additional facts pick ed at random from Mr. Norrls' brief: Ninety per cent, of all newspaper cur culation In New York City is on the one cent basis. The sale of advertis ing pace is also an a declining rate. Since 1895 the earning power per col umn of most bf the New York papers has been reduced. A powerful com bination. of dry goods merchants has operated to reduce the line charge. This dry goods combination stayed out of The World for seven months. boycotted The Sun at the time of its labor trouble and has been out of The Times for about four years. When The New York World reduced the price of Its paper from 2 cents., to I cent it gained 90,000 circulation in three weeks, but gave up $1,000 a day, $312,000 a year. In revenue and added at least $500 a day Ho its ex penses. That, meant a loss of $450, 000 a year in gross revenue. Mr. Nor rls went on to say that The New York Times Is prospering, but that the fact was painfully evident that IM pront for a long period would not, pay for the additional cost on H new build ing which was- put upon It by the many unions in .flghta1 to which 'The Times was not a party. These lights added-$538,000 to the cost of con struction'. The, Herald Is a three cent paper and can afford -many extrava gances and submit to many exactions, but there are extremes .beyond which one cent papers cannot go. The demands, ho declared, are verg ing Upon the point of putting up some newspaper shutters. The New York World pays out $2,500,000 a year for labor. Thl Is at the rate of $50,000 a week .and the remarkable fact Is stated that there are 1,000 men now on its pay roll who receive over $1,500 a year. The newsdealers make a pro fit of $1,500,000 every year from Its fiale. The smallest share of returns goes to the newspaper capital. Mr, Norrls goes on to add that the daily newspaper, business Is the most pre carious venture that can: be devised. The most highly prosperous in the city spends more than 80 per cent of its revenue in Its operating expenses, while most of tlie papers show deficits. The newspaper percentage of profit is less than that of any other manufact uring enterprise. For every $1,000 of Increased business gained by at least one paper more than $1,000 has been paid out to get it. In a period or ten years The New York World's expen ses Increased 40 oer cent and its earning power decreased fully as much. ...;'w;-:"..v r. .. Such facts as these are -staggering. Unless conditions change they point to very important changes In the" char acter of the newspaper press. , The II berty of the press is one of the safe guards of our civilization. It is es sential under such a form of govern men as. we possess that tho independ ence of the press should be preserved. Independence Is best maintained by the Operation of newspaper for .pro fit. Any other method of operation simply means a suzsldlzed press. Joseph Pulitzer, when ..he learned the cost of cutting down the price of his paper from 2 cents to 1 cent de clared, "We prefer power to. profit." Either a newspaper is to be conducted for profit or else it becomes depend ent upon some rich man like Mr. Pul itzers who Is willing to conduct it for. the power it gives him. or else upon some rich man like Mrl Hearst for the political opportunity wh left It affords, or els the. newspaper. must be sub sidized by the great corporations like the Standard Oil Company and be come not the independent;: organ of public opinion, but the subsidized or gan , of corporation Interest - This ,1s the greater menace. , ,,''' , Her Story In Brief.

May 4th. is a very complete story about the Episco pal Order of Deaconesses. The article begins by quoting canon 20 of the Episcopal Church, relating to dea conesses as follow: "From the digest of the canons of the General Convention as amended by the General Convention, 1904. The original canon passed in 1889. ; I. A woman of devout character and proved fitness, unmarried or widowed, may be appointed deaconess by any bishop of this Church. Su3h appoint ment shall be vacated by marriage. II. The duty of a deaconess is to assist the Minister in the care of the poor and sick, the religious training of the young and others, and the work of moral reformation. III. No woman can be - appointed deaconess until she shall be at least twenty-three years of age, nor until she shall have laid before the Bishop testimonials certifying that she is a communicant of this Church In good standing and that she possesses such characteristics as, in the judgment of tho person who testifying, fit her for at least one of the duties above de fined. The testimonials of fitness shall be signed , by two presbyters of this Church, and by twelve lay communi cants of the same, six whom shall be women.' Tho bishop shall also satisfy himself that the a'ppiicant has had an adequate preparation fof , her work, both technical and religious, v- 'which preparation shall hav covered the period of -two 'years. " IV. No deaconess 'shall .accept work In a diocese, wtthout thx-i express - au thority in writing of the bishop of that diocese; nor shall she undertake work in a parish wtthout the like authority from the Rector of the parish, v .' V. When not , connected with a pariah, the deaconess shall bo. under the direct oversight of the bishop of the diocese in which she ls canonlcally resident. A deaconess may be trans ferred from one diocese to another, by letters testimonial. ' " v " VI. A deaconess may at any" time resign her office to the ecclesiastical authority of the diocese in which she Is at the time canonlcally resident, but she may - not be suspended or re moved from the office exoept by the bishop for cause, with the consent of the standing committee, and after a hearing before the bishop and the standing oommittee. VII. No woman rhall be recognized as a deaconess until she has been set apart ' for that office by an appro priate religious service; to be pre scribed by the General Convention, or, in the absence of such prescription by the bishop." .-; : . This of course Is the law under which the order is organized and con ducted. As statad In, your encyclope dic story, the first order Of deaconesses known in the United States was that organized In Baltimore In 1855. At the present time tho order Is nourish, ing not only In many parts of the United States, but in Alaska, the Phil ippines, and of course throughout England., The second Institution was founded by Bishop Wllmer In Ala bama, 1864. This was Immediately succeeding the civil war and the chief work of the Alabama institution was the care of some orphans made by the soldiers deaths and the care and conduct of some schools for girls. Bishop Littlejohn, of Brooklyn, estab lished an order about 1812 a,nd ther are many others. , V The two young ladies at Hlghshoals will do the regular work of the order.

H was held In high esteem by the late Pope Leo ' XIII. There was a bond of affinity between them, as both received their mitres from Gregory XVI, almost simultaneously. At the age of 79 Dr. Murphy visited Rome, and at the cidse of a cordial audience. Pope LeoTemarked: "Well, my dear . brother, I suppose this is our last . Tneeting in this world," But five, years later DR Murphy thought he would have one more run around the globe, and presented himself at the Vatican as pert and smiling as of yore. He reminded Pope JLeo of his pessimistic " prophecy, and slyly addl ed: ."So you see you are not Infallible, after all.". This Is ald to have been one of the few occasions on which Pope . Leo laughed heartily, 'i i, Neither I"nvy Nor Discrimination, .
