Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis, superintendent of legisla tion for the Woman's Christian Tem perance Union, addressed "the quarterly meeting" held ; at Allriutt Memorial Methodist Protestant church, in 'this city, today. Mrs. Ellis took occasion to deny the-stories that have been pub lished about the TV. C. T. U. taking issue with President Roosevelt con cerning the removal ' of the painting "Love and Life" .from the Corcoran art gallery and having it hung in the cor ridor of the White House. Mrs. Ellis said she visited the president last Sat urday ; .and had a lengthy interview with him regarding the supposed at tack made against him by the union. "I informed the president that the W. C.' T, U. was entirely ignorant that such a "picture was ever removed," said Mrs. Ellis, "and, moreover, the union would. not probe into such a question," as it is the mission of our society to do good and use every means in our power to down the liquor traffic, and the idea of interfering with the president's action in removing a pic ture did'not originate with any of the officers or members of the W. C. T. U., but was an idle' rumor that floated over the land. The president seemed very much pleased to know the story of our "attack upon him was untrue, as he told me he had not received any communication whatever from the union, and he said: 'I am glad to know the truth of the matter.'

The dispensary question Is now upper most in the minds of our people and strong, forceful and vigorous argu ments are made by the earnest, zealous and determined advocates of the meas ure, while the opponents are "leaving no stone unturned" in their efforts to defeat it. In furtherance of tno ( dis pensary cause union meetings are to be held In our various churches from now until the election on the first Mon day In April. Wednesday night the zealous Mr. Thomas, the able and' scholarly pastor of the Presbyterian church, preached In the Episcopal church the sermon he preached In the i Presbyterian church Sunday night a sermon of great power, and one calcu lated to do much good in the cause of i temperance.

Its exact language Is as follows: "This treaty shall not lake effect until the Mmc shall have been approv ed by the Congress." The Democratic senators say that if there Is any further opposition it will come from individual senators and not from the Democrats as a whole. A leading Democratic senator said today, after the treaty as -, amended had been reported to the Senate:. "We shall not now stand in the way of the treaty, and It Is my opinion that it will be ratified If a quorum can be ob talned."

He comes to Greensboro 'for a few days' hunting Hhencver oc?alon offers. - we have yet heard on "that subject, and to our minds it was unanswerable in Its incontrovertible logic, and Irre sistibly overwhelming in its masterly presentation of truths and facts. Ami right here we will say that one of the most ornate and elegant ser mons that we have heard in some time was preached Sunday morning by the highly talented and really gifted J. J. Douglas, pastor of Jthe Baptist church. Couched in the most beautiful diction, and adorned with sparkling gems of riches similes, and tinted with the finest poetic colorings, it was Indeed a most eloquent production. And by the way, this gifted gentleman is winning laurels in a new field of intellectual effort, for he is as graceful and as enchanting with pen as as he-is soul moving and electrifying with tongue. He has written a romance of remark able power and beauty, and quite a number of short stories of thrilling In terest, all of which will prove fadeless leaflets in his garland of renown.'

Va., March 12.

The czar has issued-a decree providing -for free dom of religion throughout his do minions establishing to some degree local self-government and making other concessions to the village committees. After referring to 'the efforts of his predecessors, particularly his father, to add to the welfare of the Russian peo ple, the czar announces his decision to grant freedom of religion to all his sub jects who profess non-orthodox creeds, and to improve the conditions of vil lage life and those of the local nobility and peasantry. Among -the measures outlined by the -czar for the attainment of these ends is reform of the rural laws, which is to be effected with the advice of per sons who possess the confidence of the people. The system of administration in the various governments and ' dis tricts Is to be examined by representa tives of the different localities con cerned, with the view of effecting the necessary amendment. Measures are also "to be taken to relieve the peas antry of the' burdens of enforced labor. The decree,-which was issued in com memoration of the anniversary of the birthday of Alexander III, is consid ered to be the most significant act of state since the emancipation of the serfs. The public hails it as the proc lamation of . a new era, opening up bright prospects of. the early improve ment of Russian internal administra tion. The text of the decree is as follows! "On asoending the throne of our an cestors by the providence of God, we made a solemn vow before the Almighty and our conscience to sacred ly guard the centuries-old pillars of Russian power, and to dedicate our life to tire service of our beloved father land in Indefatigable solicitude for our subjects. .. "We chose, in order to assure the well-being of our. people, the way In dicated by, the memorable deeds of our predecessors,, especially our never to te forgotten father. God pleased to In terrupt the deeds of our father ."hytlls early death, and thus laid on us the sacred duty of completing the consolfc" dation of order ' and truth, begun by him in conformity with the exigencies of national life. The troubles agitating our country, which, to our deep regret, have partly been sown by designs hos tile to the state, and partly engendered by doctrines foreign to Russian life, hinder the general worle of ameliorating the well-being of our ; people. These troubles confuse the public mind,-remove the people from-productive labor, and " often ruim families dear Jtoi. bur x heart, and young, energies, mopgmgh" and low, necessary to the fnteitnal de velopment of the country. - "In demanding the fulfillment of. this our will, while remaining strongly- op posed to any .violation of the normal course of natural life, and having con fidetuce that all will loyally discharge their local duties, we are irrevocably decided to satisfy tho rieeds for- which the state has become ripe, and have deemed; it expedient to strengthen and decree . the undeviating observance of the principles of tolerance laid down by the fundamental laws of the Rus- sjan empire, which, recognizing the orthodox church as the ruling one, grant , to all our subjects of other re ligions and to all foreign foreign , pe r suaslons freedom. of creed and worship in accordance with their rites,, and we are further resolved to .continue the active carrying out of measures for the improvement of the material posi tion of the orthodox rural clergy, while enabling them to take-a larger share in the intellectual jind public life. "In accordance with impending meas ures for the ' consolidation of the f na--tional economy, the efforts of the stat credit institutions, and especially th nobles and peasants' ( banks, should be directed to strengthening and de veloping; the welfare -and fundamental pillars of Russian village life and that of the local nobility and - peasantry. t These principles, marked out by us for the revision of the laws of the ru ral population, are, when formulated, to be referred to the provincial govern ment councils, so that with - th assist ance of persons enjoying the public's confidence they may be, further devel oped and adapted to the special condl tlons of individual localities. "In.this work-the fundamental prin ciples' of the, inviolability of communal property is to'1 be maintained," while at the same time means are to be found to render it. easier-for the individual to sever connections, with the' commu nltyto which'! he belongs, if he ao de-stre.
