Looking at rt from a point of polit ical advantage to himself, it seems to ns that Senator Simmons had nothing to gain and everything to lose by vot ing for Senator Lorimer's retention of his seat. He was thoroughly con vinced that from the evidence in the ease Lorimer should not be deprived of , his seat in the Senate, and no amount of popular clamor could in duce him to rote contrary to his con viction in the matter. Secretary Wilson in a recent ad dress said that it was noticeable that where good roads movement prerailed the percentage of illiteracy was stead ily decreasing.

IM1KTON, - THB present year caeaot quite vie with 1809 U the ntatter of centenaries, but has the ed ever any other year ef the new century. If this thing keeps up we shall get the centennial habit. There will be centenaries every week of births, of deaths and of notable hap penings between centenaries of coro nations and Insoguratlons, of and peace, of Inventions and revolutions. Civilization will come to look like a garden of century plants with some festival or celebration constantly burst ing Into bloom. In 1911 It Is the semicentennial of the first lniujo ration of Lincoln and the centennial of the birth of many notable men to wit: Charles 8umner, Jan. 6; Horace Greeley, Feb. 3; Meis sonler, the celebrated Napoleonic paint er, Feb. 21, all of which, by tba way, are over and gone; David Hume, the British free thought historian, April 26; William Makepeace Thackeray, July 18; Franx Liszt, Oct 22; John Bright, Nov. 16, and Wendell Phillips, Not. 29. Nor does ttala end the list On Nov. 7 we celebrate the centennial of Har rison's victory at Tippecanoe and on Dec. 27 the tercentenary of the acces sion of Gustsvus Adolphus. I had al most forgotten the bicentenary of the appearance of Addison's Spectator on March 1. " Last and greatest of all Is the ter centenary of the first Issue of the King James version of the Bible. Nobody knows exactly in what month the orig inal publication occurred, so the cele bration will be observed at different times in various parts of the world. In England and America it is tlxed for March. Translation! Were Numerous. There had been several English translations of the Bible prior to the King Jsmes or authorised version, but none of them had been quite sat isfactory. The first of these worth mention was the Wycllffe Bible, trans lated by John Wycllffe, the original English reformer and martyr, in the j fourteenth century .and circulated In manuscript William Tyndale, anothf er reformer and martyr, followed this i with another translation In the six-' teenth century- It is somewhat slg- ' nlflcant that both of these translators ire counted heretics, and not the least of the charges against them was this very desire to give the Scriptures ! to the common people. Tyndale wa proscribed and went to live at Worms With Luther, whose follower he was There his translation -was completed. The Tyndale' Bible became In large degree the basis of subsequent Eng lish versions. It was published in 1028, and during the same century six other translations were "made and a seventh begun. The reformation was bearing abundant fruit ;.. The next translation after Tyndale'a was thstof Miles Ooverdale, which ap peared in 1585. It bas been claimed that Coverdale' worked with Tyndale, but this is In dispute, t . In popular parlance the .Coverdale version has come to be known as the "bug" Bible because of the following translation of a verse from one of the Psalms: "Bo that thou shalt not nede to be afraid for any Bngges by nights nor for the arrow that flyeth by day.". The Matthews Bible followed In 1587. It was translated by John Bogt era, another Protestant martyr. The Tavtmer Bible, named for one of Its publishers, Bicbard Taverner, appear ed In 1539. Cromwell Bihle IText A The next year, 1540, came the "great" Bible, likewise called Crom well's, also Cranmera. This was es sentially Coverdale'a translation with few changes. It was published by Thomas Cromwell's order and was the first Bible "appointed to be need la the churchao," likewise the first to be chained to the - reading desks. No wonder there was . a subsequent movement for religious freedom when the Bible was la chains! t Twenty years after the publication at the "great" Bible appeared the Gene van translation made by some English rengtous refugees who had joined John Calvin at Geneva. This was the first one printed tn Roman type and divid ed Into verses, likewise the first to give supplied words In Italics. It re mained the most popular edition until the, appearance of the King James Version, a matter of fifty years. To collectors this is known as the "breech es" Bible because of the following pas sage from Genesis: Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed flgge tree leaves together and made themselves Breeches." Was this a far off suggestion of the trouserlne or ha rem skirt? ,''..; . " ' - In 1363 was published the "Bishops' Bible," authorized by the bishops of the est&biuihed. church. With all this o" '-1 sanction, however, it never over took the vogue of the G-rv-.i ve- ' mtkh was rather a Fu' ' in a'alr. Col lectors hsve dubbed t:.a t!.

It Is one of those tricks of fste which confound the op timist and shake the fa Mi of those who believe In-ultlmate justice.

He allowed his own daughter to die In poverty. He Sad nothing to do with the translation of the Scriptures except that he authorized it and gave some general directions. Yet this work that has had so profound an influence on English speaking people, this "well of English undeflled," is known as the King James version." The tacking on of that name is almost blasphemous. ; ":v.:. Credit Given Puritan. Unfit nf thai m&t for rha settntlon that led to the making of tbebihor- tsed version Is due to the Puritans. There were so many translations and so much confusion la consequence that the desire became general to have one standard text that would be authorita tive tn settling disputes an to interpre tations. There were two views as to the way to arrive at such a standard. One .was the revision of the German Bible; the other wa the making of a new translation. ' " - . In 1004 a conference was held in London to settle the matter. The king decided the question in favor of the new translation. His reason was as oblique and peculiar as his character. He was determined to make the Purl tans and other dissenters "conform.' They hsd been urging a new transla tion. Now let them have It and be compelled to abide by It It may be said In passing that when the au thorized version appeared the Inde pendent sects did abide by It gladly. Tet they did not "conform" to the Established church any more than be fore. They continued to dissent until Jsmes' own son, Charles 1 was be headed and England established a commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell, a Puritan. But that la getting ahead of the story, .

Dr. Kalnolds borsM the leading spirit la the art sal making ef the new version. Perhaps mor than any oth er man be hi entitled to the boner ef the so called King James versios. The fifty-four scholars and divines chests for the task were dlvtdsd Into six groups, and a certain part of the work was aliened to each. . To Balnoida and bis associates ware assigned the prophets. But the leader Waa . not to see the completion of the task. Dr. Balnolds died In 1007. three years be fore the translation waa finished. Two of the groups worked at Ox ford, two at Cambridge and two at Westminster. .For the most part their task was not so much translation ns comparing and editing. They selected from ell the versions already made, and so wisely and conscientiously were the selections made that the result bas stood the test of ths centuries. They did not confine themselves wholly to the Genevsn. Tyndsla, Ooverdale and other English versions, however. They employed Luther's German translation as well as the original Greek and He brew. They sought for dear and sim ple renderings tn strong Anglo-8axon words, slany of the happiest and best phrases were tbeir own. With the possible exception of La ther's there bns never been n transla tion of the Bible tn sny tongue that bas received such- praise or exerted such Influence.

" " It has not only colored the whole of English civilization, but hss fixed the language and Immeasurably Influenced literature and - politics. The great movement toward democracy and lib erty of our race has taken place sines the Issuance of the King James ver sion. As tbla momentous epoch of revolutions - and reforms, beginning with the Cromwell revolution in 1612, has been so profoundly affected throughout by the religious Impulse, who can measure the effects thereon of this English Bible? It waa the mainstay of Cromwell and his Inde pendents, who In turn became the fore runners of modern democracy, v1 ; . The actual work of translstioo was completed In 1010, and the manuscripts passed through tbe bsnds of Thomas BUson, bishop of Winchester, and of Dr. Miles Smith before going to the pritter. The publication occurred ear ly In 1011. The celebration of tbe tercentenary Will occur on March 20 In every dry and town of the British empire and on that or nearby dates In American churches. In St. Paul's, London, the sermon will be preached by the arch bishop of Canterbury. vThe influence of the King James version does not end with English speaking peoples, but has formed the basis for translation Into innomerabls tongues. It coustlrutes the vast bulk of tbe 15,000.000 Bibles now estimat ed to be sold yearly. There Is only one thing needed toJ make thd Joy of tbe occasion complete.
