It was one from which no one ever moved 5 I away, into which no new blood evef came. i Y closing he used language like this: Due allowance 1 ttllHIIM being made for difference In soli, climate, diet and the like. 1 1 J <? that is the way thirty or torty million people live in | ' (Mo America. I take it that the further back we go In point of time M thy more persistent in conduct would be the people at large. I was wondering ; 1 how, then, that in the decade from 1850 to 1860 thore was such an extensive ' change in the domiciles of our people. California increased her population I fivefold during the ten years; Iowa gained fourfold; Illinois, Michigan. Wis- | ! consin, Missouri, nearly or quite doubled their population. Oregon became a j 1 State; Minnesota leaped from a Territory of less than ten thousand to a ' State of 200,000. A little later came the settling of Kansas, Nebraska. Arkansas, with more to follcfw. It seems to me that there was something of a stir going all along the line. In the school district in which I happened to be raised* in the southwest- ' era part of Ohio, thore were changes equally astonishing. Just to amuse my- t ' self I have counted up the number of families that had left within my own recollection. I find It to be twenty-six, and I am not sure that I recall them all. Other families moved in to fill the gap6 In part. A brother of mine, older bv some rears, can count nn twelve hnhlmttnna that howo \ Where did all those families go? Ask the wild winds that blow from nearly ( every State and Territory toward sundown. Making due allowance for differ- 1 ence In soil, climate, diet and the like, that is the way It has been going on ' over a great part of the Middle States. I often meet men past middle age y who say that they have acquaintances In nearly every State west of us. 1 I < < c | Universal Brotherhood f | / Washington Gladden * a? ? E assume that there Is a social crisis. The church has, or y w-wv I ought to have, a say in this crisis, because social order is ( H in unstable equilibrium. The condition of life in the cities is becoming more and more serious every day, and yet U. many people are opposed to exposing this condition or alls fairs. The rapid increase of population living in the cities ( J * * is due to the fact that country people find work In the 1 IhmmbI cities easier to get man in the small towns, foiitlcs Is t one of the causes of the social disorder, and especially city 1 politics. The cures for these municipal conditions must be in the homes, s schools and churches. That the home is not doing its share in wiping out i these disorders is manifested by the fact that many homes have been broken t up, and hence home life has become decayed. The schoois are aiding mate- j rially in this work by their broad teachings, but the churches are disaffected i where they are most needed. The cures for these conditions depend upon 1 tha church, which has not responded to the call, and I appeal to you people U? enlist yourselves in this society of uplifting and improve these disgraceful conditions. ?? & & & ? c Men and Houses By G.

Martin C. Davis, a brothei of John and secretary of a local building and loan association, was arrested Saturday on a eharge of conspiracy. A dispatch from Raleigh, N.

He furnished the money to build a Methodist church and placed in it eostlv chimes. He spent money freely. Then came pomplaints from clients involving money matters, said to aggregate about $30,000. He was arrested and the case was a noted one in the judicial annals of the State. His counsel set up the plea of insanity. The jury found the accused insane. He was then sent to the insane asylum here. Upon his release some years later he went to Washington and in many ways since tried to make a reparation in some of those from whom he was charged with fraudulently obtaining money. During the past two years he has been sending occasional remittances to those with who he had dealings in Wilmington. His defense will be insanity in the present trouble. Mrs. Boyle Convicted.

The immense interests concerned comprise the Guggenheims and other larpc American producers, the Spanish Association of Producers, the Broken Uill interests of Australia and the German Lead Tixist. Thc*? interests combined control 75 per cent of the world's lead supply. Their position in the world's markets will enable them to make what prices they please. For live years the German Lead Trust has been tryinsr to obtain com plete control of its own and adjacent European markets; but tire competition of American and Spanish interests has upset the trust's pains. About a year ago the Herman interests made overtures to the Broken Hill people, and a temporary working agreement was patched up. but this was not enough to secure the control needed to raise prices to a profitable basis.

The people understood that we were to have ' a revision downward; the men who made the platform understood it; we understood it. Everybody understood it and no amount of sophistry can otherwise explain the popular demand and the party's promise. "If this promise," he said, "was for a revision that would mean the * maintenance of the Dinirley rates, then we are confronted by the ridic- " ulousness of the Chief Executive calling Congress together to revise something that should stand unchanged until the end of time. I "When the people made the demand for a tariff revision dowaward, there was no suggestion that there t interests were not sufficiently protected. If the demand for revision did not mean changing the duties downward it did not mean anything and we are indulging in a farce now."

Investigation showed that certain personal property was not listed in the schedule, and this fact was enough to convict Cohen on the indictment. Cohen carried the case to the Appellate Court, where Wednesday the lower court was reversed. Judges Goff, Pritchard and Morris heard the argument in the case during the last term and decided that by the Constitution every man is protected against self-incrimination in criminal cases. The admission of the schedule of property which was made up by Cohen was considered such self-incrimination, and on this point the lower court was reversed. me onse is considered one of prime importance in regard to the influence it has on bankruptcy cases out of which criminal proceedings arise and settles for good the question as to the admissibility of the schedules of property which are presented to the court in such cases. vte^tyear average 8.1 per cent than the area harvested x in 1908, and 2,103,000 acres, of 7.2 per cent less than the area sown last fall.
