THE PKOGIIESSIVES' ENCE. CONFER- One wonders If the conference of progressive Republicans In Chicago, or the result thereof, will not be regard ed as an effective answer to critics. Some form of organization was ex pected to emerge from the delibera tions, and this is precisely what has happened, In a way that will Interest the political world. The progressives are opposed to the nomination of President Taft, und they very much favor the nomination of Senator La Follette. It is singular, the misappre hension that has existed with respect to the purposes, If not the motives, of the progressive Republicans. Only last week the Charlotte Observer re marked that many of the Insurgents would regard the Wisconsin senator as Impossible. The day preceding the conference the very observant New York World declared that, if the gathering should prove fairly rep resentative of the various elements among the progressives, the confer ence would be more or less divided over the candidate to be preferred to Mr. Taft Said the World: "LaKol lette hits a strong following. But there are Cummins and others." Our belief all the while has been that the progressives were not trou bled, either over the availability or the desirability of the candidacy of Mr. LaFollette. The World says: "But there are Cummins and others." The facts are that Mr. Cummins' has never encouraged his friends to make an effort in his behalf. Contrariwise, he has told these friends that Mr. LaKol lette would be in the race, that Pin chot, Garfield and other friends of former President Roosevelt favored Mr. LaFollette, and that the opposl tlon to President Taft could make more headway if they would all line up behind the Wisconsin man. In the course of the editorial re- . ferred to the World said further: This, however, Is the least of the progressives' trouble. They have so far appeared rather too much in the light of an unorganized appetite for the control of the party. Mere agree ment on a leader or candidate will only present them as an organized ap petite for this control. They must have a platform If they are to appeal strongly either to party rank and file or to the country, and their platform must be explicit. Here tofore they have been dealing in vague generalities. The country haa seen them only as critics; It has tested them on their negative and destructive sldev Have they j constructive side? They differ sharply from Taft they say. Just what are the point of d I (Terence T These various object the progres slvea seem likewise to have met, they have a platform and they are all standing thereon, They say: "The present condition of uncer tainty In business is Intolerable and destructive of Industrial prosperity. It Is worse than Idle to leave this question of whether great business en terprise are legal or not, merely to judicial determination. Industrial corporations should by affirmative legislative enactment be given definite rule of conduct by which business shall be made safe and stable while at the same time the interest of tht publlo should be fully safeguarded. We seek conservative legislation, not destructive litigation. . The Idea seem to be that the pro gressives would deal with the corpor ate interest a they have been dealt with in Wisconsin. The New York Sun will say that a government by Robert M. LaFollette would be a gov ernment .by the mob. Friends of La Follette will point with pride and sat is faction to the fact that business. In cluding the railroad. I In a prosper ous condition in Wisconsin, and that in that Btata there haa been regula tion, rather than destruction, that It ha meant conservative legislation, rather than destructive litigation. LinEItALISM AND SHAKEN FAITH The Most Rev. James H. Blenk. archbuihop of New Orleans, In his ser moa eulogistic of James Cardinal Gibbon at Italtlmore Sunday, -took occasion to deplore the llbcralltm manifest In the thought of the day, seeing In It an insidious attack upon all established orders,, upon all creeds and upon all righteousness. In the Ecumenical Methodist conference at Toronto distinguished church workers called attention to a marked decrease In the rate of Increase of membership in this church, a growing spirit of indifference, and emphatically ex pressed . the belief that effort should be directed to spiritual awakening in Christian lands. ; Thus observers from widely diverse viewpoints detect a world-wide ten dency. It may be doubted whether at any other time since the church of Christ was organized religion has ever made so slight a personal appeal to so great a body of intelligent per sons residing In Christianized lands as now. This seems to be notably true of some European countries and of our larger cities. Some of the reasons are not far to seek. Christ has been crucified anew many times since the Parisians, a hundred years and more ago, renounced ail teach ings but the contrat social and en shrined the Goddess of Reason. The great thought-wave liberated by this social upheaval has beaten nowhere more fiercely than against the rock of the church. To many unquiet minds which discovered over night they were free there has since seemed no longer a haven In the heavens above nor a resting-place on the earth beneath and a horde of pen men have disseminated their Ideas. This iconoclism has not been con fined to religion but Its effect has been more apparently disastrous In its assaults upon the Christian creed than elsewhere. Indeed, Its re sults have been happy In many direc tions, and we still are far from social and politcal ideals first noted In this blinding light. But in the case of the church of Christ, there Is no Image to rear In the place of the broken one. It is, so far as human eye can see, the "utmost up and on" of spirit ual development. And the reckless assaults made upon it, doubly dan gerous now that a spoken or printed word Is so nll-pcrvading, are leaving many, hitherto unquestioning, "faith less, hopeless and charltyless." In all lands and all ages, many there are who stand firm In the faith, and many more who stand long enough and often enough to be counted. And they who think they read prophecy will tell you that It was written that these things should be, and that the nnai process or winnowing some wheat out of much chaff was Bet forth long ago, when the world was young. AS TO VISITING THE SICK. The sick boy visited by a minister, as toia in me letter or "Fastor was helped by the visit. His father's heart was touched, his faith in humanity and In Christianity was strengthened. The minister himself felt that satis faction of spirit following the doing of an act that is wholly good, without any alloy. He was again gladdened to receive the expression of a good father's gratitude. A visit to the sick how some suf. fers, Imprisoned by disease, long for the touch of even a stranger's hand, a word of cheer; how they yearn for a bit of companionship, an oasis In the long, weary day' journey in the shad owy valley. The doctor' visit Is eag erly awaited, and he comes as a mat ter of business. The patient gives him up with reluctance. Many a stranger languishes in this town, with seldom a sight of a face except those who come on business. Many a letter home breathes the ter rible loneliness, which friends far away cannot relieve. This paper certainly played In hard luck on the championship baseball story yesterday. The matter got into a snarl early in the game, forty law yers could not have untangled it then there was a vexation delay, and finally, when the city edition went to press, an hour late, the story was In complete, a good part of It coming long after the press had stopped. We trust the city fathers may find it expedient to accept the proposition of the gentleman who would replace with brick the ancient boulder on College street Mission to tiie Sick. Editor of The Gazette-News: Apropos of the proposed mission to the lck, the following extract from a letter received by one of the Ashe vllle pastors from the father of a young man who is here seeking health, will Illustrate the value of such a ministry: "I want to thank you for your sweet visit to my boy recently. He wrote ua of It and seemed to appre ciate it and your comforting prayer with him. He said: 'Dr. came to see me yesterday and had a prayer with me, which left me feeling good all the rest of the day.' "Poor boy! he seems to be passing through the fires, and ha been now for five years. How he hold out I don't know, except by the sustaining grace of God. I shall feel more than grateful for all you can do for him. I know you are busy and you have, no doubt, scores of just such case to look after, besides your Own flock. and w appreciate your kindness all the more by reason of that" I it not worth while to bring .this sort of comfort to sick strangers and to their anxious friends at hornet PASTOR. Ashevllle, Oct 17, '11. STUART'S fj:::innrati-.:::::) CURE KIONIT ANO LOOSH TROUBI.I9 suouy corai GASES DISMISSED II Police Court' Rules No Juris diction Proceedure Civil, Not Criminal THE LAW AS TO SUNDAY DECISIONS IS CITED Contracts Made on Sunday, Valid, Contrary to What Seems to Be Popular Idea. The cases against George W. Bailey and Creators, the band master, for 1 conducting a concert of aacred music 'Sunday night to which an admission fee was charged, which were con tlnued from yesterday until today on account of a question of jurisdiction. were disposed of this morning. Judge Adams ordered that the warrant be quashed and the actions dismissed from the court He said his court had no jurisdiction in the matter, as the offense charged is not criminal but the proceedure la civil, and fur ther,, that the state could not sue to recover damages, but the action for such damages must be brought by an individual and the amount of such damages could not exceed 1. The bond of $5 posted by Creators was ordered returned to that gentleman and Mr. Bailey was excused from further attendance at the court The police department was advised to take note of the decision In Case any other like case should be brought to their attention. The section of the statute under which the warrants were sworn out Is 2836 of the Revlsal of 1905 and Is as follows: "On the Lord's day, com monly called Sunday, no tradesman artificer, planter, laborer or other person, shall, upon land or water, do or exercise any labor, Business or work, of his ordinary calling, works of necessity and charity alone except ed, nor employ himself In hunting, fishing, or fowling, nor use any game sport or play, upon pains that every person so offending, being of the age of 14 years and upwards, shall for felt and pay one dollar." It may be of interest to cite some facts concerning Sunday laws. These facts are taken from a decision by Chief Justice Walter Clark of the Su preme court oi tnis state in a case which appears In 134 N. C. at pages 503 et seq. The case Is entitled Rod man vs. Robinson. In It the validity of a contract for the sale of land was attacked by the defendant because the contract had been made on Sun day. The contract was held by the court to be perfectly valid as selling land was not the "ordinary calling" or either party to the contract Such a decision was upheld in a number of similar cases before. The attorneys for the defense in this case contended that Christianity is a part of the law of the land and hence Independent of any statute. If the observance of Sunday," said Judge Clark, "were commanded by statute as an act of religion or wor ship, such statute would be absolute ly forbidden .... for under our constitution, both state and federal no act can be required or forbidden by statute because such act may be in accordance with or against the re- llglous view of anyone." He cites that the founder of the Christian re. liglon said that his "kingdom was not of this world," and from the first amendment to the federal constitu lion, wnicn provided that "congress shall make no law respecting an es tabllshment of religion or prohibiting tne tree exercise thereof." Also from the constitution of this state, which say: "All men have a natural and unalienable right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences, and no human au thorlty should In any case whatever control or Interfere with the right of conscience." After these citations Judge Clark goes on to say that following these laws of the land, it would be folly to suppose that a man of such religious view as to observe some other day or rest tor religious purpose except Munciay, could be forced by law to ob serve Sunday for religious purpose. The real object of the common law, he points out In establishing a day of rest Is "to protect the masses from being worn out by Incessant and un remitting toll, and, if such days hap pen to be those upon which the larger part of the people observe a cessation of toll for religious reason. It is not an objection but a convenience." Judge Clrak goes on to sa; that the precepts of the Nazarene Influ ence the people of the country in their conduct and may be felt In legisla tion, but the violators of any Sunday law are to be dealt with by the police department of the state for the sake of public policy and that the transac tion of business on that day Is not a crime against the state. In other words, he point out a distinct line which Is drawn between the affair of VIIUIVII biiii into. If a man hasn't any sens some woman is sure to think he 1 senti mental Visitors and Tourists.

Large blocks of stock were thrown on the market at the opening today and prices yield ed in every direction. The department of justice officials' attitude toward the American Tobacco company' reorganisation plan and re vived report that action will soon be taken by the government against the United States Steel corporation de pressed prices materially. Steel was the weakest of the prominent Issues. Both Issues of American Tobacco bonds and the preferred stock were heavy and on the "curb" common stock declined 9 points. Prices trended upward In the sec ond hour, the recovery amounting to moderate fractions. Buying decreased steadily. Heavy Offerings Ease Off Cotton. New York, Oct- 17. The cotton market opened at an advance of 5 to 15 points, with near months relatively firm. Offerings were very heavy at the Initial advance and the south was a big seller. Price eased off within a point or two of yesterday's closing, The market waa nervous and unset tled in the morning, and afterward weakened. Nearly all active months made new low records, December sell ing off to 9.10 and January to 8.92, or to a net decline of 15 to 18 points, A good demand developed as the mar ket broke through 9 cents for Janu ary, but only slight rallies occurred Midday price were within 3 to 4 points of the lowest.
