FINAL ACTION ON STATEHOOD
LEGISLATION ALSO TAKEN
VICTORY FOR PRESIDENT
Not Definitely Known Whan Arizona
and Now Moxlco Will Como Into
Union— Constitutions of Now
8tatea Must Moot Approval
Washington— President Taft signed
the railroad biU at 10:15 o’clock Sat-
urday night shortly after hia return
from Pennsylvania The measure
which had accompanied the statehood
b 11 had been passed by the house
(Saturday and sent Immediately to the
white house The president did not
sign the statehood bill
The railroad bill was the first to
receive consideration in the house
Saturday Chairman Mann of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce called the: conference re-
port from the speaker's table Brief
speeches were made among them be-
ing several by democrats In expres-
sion of their opposition to the report
F'nal action on statehood legislation
was accomplished with greater ease
By reason of pressure trom the white
house and aided by some diplomatic
work by Postmaster General Hitch-
cock opposition to the acceptance of
the senate amendment to the state-
hood bill were almost entirely dissi-
pated It cannot be stated definitely when
Arlxona and New Mexico will come
into the union under this legislation
It requires that the constitutions
adopted by the proposed states must
be ratified by congress and approved
by the president Conceding that the
statehood bill will be In force within
a few days it will be necessary for
the territories to hold constitutional
conventions will require many weeks
submit the constitutions to the peo-
ple of the territories for adoption and
then return them to Washington It
ls Impossible therefore to specify
When the people of the two territor-
ies will enjoy the benefits of state-
hood and many believe that It will
not be before the presidential elec-
tion of 1912
The railroad bill Is substantially In
accordance with the president’s mes-
sage demanding amendments to the
Interstate commerce laws About the
only exc'ptions are that It does not
legalize holding agreements made by
railroads permit mergers or regulate
the Issuance of stocks and bonds It
creates a ccmmerce court and broad-
ens the scope of the Jurisdiction o'
the Interstate commerce commission
as regards regultaions and practices
by railroads It also brings telegraph
telephone and cable companies within
that jurisdiction
Supervision Is given to the commis-
sion over increases of rates and this
section as well as one making pro-
vision for the investigation of the
stock and bond question will go Into
effect Immediately on the bill’s being
signed Other provisions and they
are extensive will take effect within j
a a — Jut a annmvar
sixty days from the date of approval

A Tart Tongue"
CoL Robert C Carter at a Nash-
ville banquet was talking about cam-
paign comrades
“Then there waa Dash of Company
A” he said “Dash had the reputation
of being the nastiest-tongued man in
the regiment
’It was Private Dash you know
who out foraging one evening on a
rich estate came accidentally upon
the owner’s wife a grande dame In
evening dress
“Dash asked her for food She re-
fused him He asked again But still
refusing she walked away
“No’ she said Til give you noth-
ing trespassing like this! I’ll give
you nothing My mind is made up’
“ ’Made up is It?’ said Dash ‘Like
the rest of you eh? "
Had a Reason
“Why don’t you call your newspaper
the Appendix?” asked the enemy of
the political boss
“Any special reason for wanting me
to do so?”
“Well it’s a useless organ”

A DETERMINED WOMAN
Finally Found a Food That Cured Her
“When I first read of the remark-
able effects of Grape-Nuts food I de-
termined to secure 6ome” says a wom-
an in Salisbury Mo “At that time
there was none Lcpt in this town but
my husband ordered some from a Chi-
cago traveler
“I had been greatly afflicted with
sudden attacks of cramps nausea
and vomiting Tried all sorts of
remedies and physicians hut obtained
only temporary relief As soon as I
began to use the new food the cramps
disappeared and have never returned
“My old attacks of sick stomach
were a little slower to yield hut by
continuing the food that trouble has
disappeared entirely I am today per-
fectly well can eat anything and
everything I wish without paying the
penalty that I used to We would not
keep house without Grape-Nuts
“My husband was so delighted with
the benefits I received that be has
been recommending Grapo-Nuts to his
customers and has built up a very
large trado on the food He sells them
by the case to many of the leading
physicians of the county who recom-
mend Grape-Nuts very generally
There is some satisfaction in using
a really scientifically prepared food”

Something
About the “Hew
Theology
HEAR much of the “new
f theology” It la taught In
y y many school! It 1s heard from
many pulpits it fills the pages
of our current literature It has pos-
session of ths minds of a large popu-
lar audience It la not easy to define
the term for the teaching la common-
ly indefinite declares a writer In the
United Presbyterian It comes before
the people as a reformation a re-
statement of theological doctrines in
which the most cardinal parti of tha
system of truth are either omitted or
so set forth as to destroy their vital-
ity It appeals to an age weary of
positive religious truth that calls for
the pleasant and cheering teaching
concerning God man and redemption
The age seeks after new things It
1s a materialistic age end turns away
from the aplrltuaL It has seen old
scientific theories set aside by new
discoveries and applying the same
rule It rejects the old foundations In
the world of faith and builds - up a
theology which has little of God In It
The “new theology” very largely
eliminates the divine In our religion
The Bible Is lowered from Its old
standing aa the inspired and Infallible
Word of God and given a place little
above that of the hooka of men The
“new theology” la Indefinite but when
summed up It la positive and destruc-
tive of faith and of the solid founda-
tions of hope It removes God far trom
us Instead of bringing him nearer to
ua aa a personal God Just and holy
loving and Judging men The Saviour
te robbed of hla divinity and lowered
to the plane of a wise teacher and a
good man The atonement for aln ia
rejected and salvation te an evolu-
tion The resurrection of the dead ia
relegated to the list of beautiful but
impossible things All this te popu-
lar and the “new theology” te making
headway
Church Facing Crisis
Under the heading “la It a Crisis f’
the Herald and Presbyter sounds an
alarm Referring to numerous letters
received from widely different parts of
the church It says: “These letters In-
dicate that the church te alarmed
Error 1s insidious The age la tolerant
Ecclesiastical discipline la unpopular
People deplore looseness but hesitate
to say so Many of the churches have
grown rich and have drawn to them
people who regard them chiefly as so-
cial centers Many exalt culture above
piety and popularity above sound doo-
trine “Is It a crisis? We believe It 1s If
the church does not stand for evan-
gelical truth it has no gospel If It
does not preach man’s sin and lost
condition and the gospel of salvation
through the merits of a divine atoning
Saviour it has no mission"
The words have a wider application
than that made by the writer the
“new theology" Is not restricted ty
denominational lines It finds the gen-
eral religious condition favorable to
its development We must recognize
this fact The Herald and Presbyter
forcibly says: “It represents a system
of thought as far removed from the
old doctrines of a personal God a di-
vine Saviour a vicarious atonement
and the resurrection as the east la
from the west and should such teach-
ings prevail it would be not a crisis
but an apostasy” There Is a loud call
for adherence to the old faith and a
real demand If men would ljut hear It
for the positive doctrines of human
guilt divine Inexorable justice and re-
demption by the Son of God Here we
must stand firm and preach the Word
of God In its fulness and power
Following the Higher Plan
“He knoweth the way that I take
when be hath tried me I shall come
forth as gold” — Job 2310
God has a definite life-plan set for
every man one that being accepted
and followed will conduct him to the
best and noblest end possible And so
as you pass on stage by stage In
your course of experience it is made
clear to you that whatever you have
laid upon you to do or suffer what-
ever to want whatever to surrender
or conquer is best for you Your life
is a school exactly adapted to your
lesson and that to the best last end
of your existence No room for a dis-
couraged or depressed feeling there-
fore is left you Enough that you ex-
ist for a purpose high enough to give
meaning to life and to support a gen-
uine inspiration If your sphere is out-
wardly humble God understands It
better than you do and it lsa part
of his wisdom to bring our great sen-
timents In humble conditions great
characters under great adversities and
heavy loads of Incumbrance
Faith Paralyzed by Familiarity
His countrymen could not believe
that there was anything divine In
Jesus because they knew him too
well He was the carpenter’s son
they were acquainted with his moth-
er and sisters and brothers Faith
was paralyzed by familiarity but now
since tbe 19 centuries have rolled In
between those days and ours we see
Jesus not as one whom we have
known boy and man for 30 years In
the commonplaces of his home life
and surroundings we see him as a
dim and spectral almost unreal per-
son In that far off land among those
strange surroundings It Is easier
for us to believe In bis divine na-
ture and mission than it was for
his fellow-citizens who were so close
to him
