\ doubtful If the will of any Who has died In the last docade so widely discuwed as th.-it of the late J. Pierpon' Mcrgau, says The Oreenrllle Pled mo dL This w«a not because of the disposition which he made of his money and estate. The partition wan about as expected. The amount left was not Burpris:rj< The portion of the will which has caused the discussion fa thin para- “1 commit my soul Into the hands of. my Savior, in full confidence il.at heving redeemed it end washed it in His precious blood, He will present It MMltlesp before the throne of our Oswrewly Rather; and I entreat my drlldren to maintain and defend at nil haanrd and at any cost of per- sonai sacrifice the blessed doctrine of complete atonement for sin through the blood of Jesus, once offered, and Uirpugh that alone. Mrfny sermons have been preach ed over the country upon this will. The view taken by all is that it Is a notable tribute to Christianity and Hint, coming from the man who grobably controlled more money than any other one man in the world, It is sure to do good. Dr. James I. Vfcnce, pastor of the First Presbyte rian church of Nashville. Tenn., ■poke of Mr. Morgan’s will last Sun day. Reading the paragraph quoted above, he said: ‘This Is the way the greatest finan cier of his agin writes his last wHI and ttfbfament. This Is what a multi millionaire has to say of values. This It the statement of a rich man who not owned by his money, but money was owned by him. Vlls Is the profound conviction of qpM> who had all that the world CBWld offer, and who tells us whst Is worth while. So Nr. ss 1 have s able to learn. 'Mr. Morgan’s life character were In harmony with terms of his will. He was deeply It was his custom to visit Hie ohsrrh every day, and spend a u^lle there. Sometimes his pastor would find him there Is prayer, some times walking up and down the aisle Stns^ng an old hymn One of the Mahopt of bis chnrch says he was the most religious man he ever knew. ''Mr. Morgan declares kts estimate of ths value of aalvatlon. the prec- tpuasees of a personal hope In Jesua. Hs was Just a sinner saved by grace Ha had what moody flhanot buy, what the werld can neither gtvs nor Mius away. How rich was be five osreudi after he died? Was he not ma rich as before? He was Infinitely richer Through death he came Into Ms ewn. Money was nothing. Im mortality waa everything.

"The great financier also declares his estimate of the value of the MUtnomenL He entreats iris children not to regard the millions of money leaves, not to care for his marve lous art collect lota, not to sustain his chdrltlss and philanthropies, so much us to maintain and defend at every hiftard and cost the doctrine of the complete atonement for sin through tifp blood of Jesus Christ once offer ed.. That is the most remarkable statement ever made In a human will. AiMPyet wrme people think that the atonement has played out. And yet l#ve is a man who had studied much, sopn much, owned much, and who comes back to say that there Is noth ing; more predous than the doctrine Of the atonement. "His statement Is all the more re markable because of the atmosphere of commercialism In which he lived and because for years he had a min ister who held very lax viows about tjie atonement. Perhaps this may help to explain the statement In his urfll. At any rate, his own faith was qimhaken, an d ^'ith his dying band he writes this charge bidding those p-ho take his place to make It their <*fof concern In life to defend the atoning spirit of the Savior's death. *Thls Is the key to Mr Morgan's life—not Wall sCMeC, but a corner in a pew In a Christian church. If you want to know what made him tSpre it la. If you woufd explain his philanthropy, it Is tkera. He was epfeentlally religious. ' There la no philanthropic or charitable or soo- icrlogleal work that la not ball! on re- (tgtous convictions.

M. Goddard in he Union Depot at Atlanta last month. Darden admitted all the circum stances of the killing, practically as alleged by the proeecutlon. and bas ed his plea wholly on the nuwritten law. The judge charged that there were no such thing as unwrlten law, and the Jury found Mr. Darden guil ty of manslaughter. Before dismiss ing the Jury, Jud£.> Uoan said, '•you are a set of brave men. >01 every jury ignores tho unwritten law, and yet there Is no such thing as an un written law In this county. Only savages or people who cannot write have unwritten laws.” In sentencing Darden to serve three years the Judge said, "Still I rocognlie that you had some provo cation for what you did, and while the law should punish, they should be lenient under certain circumstances.’’ (ilve Their Full Time. According to a recent ruling of Postmaster General Burleson, post masters of the first, second, and third classes are expected to give iheir full time to the work. The post office de partment will no longer permit such postmasters to run the post office js Additional charges are helping up lotgro and Converse, Ind., and St. i <&ui, Jiriiiiij., wiicio lie woo nu euucm- tor before he accepted his position In Pittsburg. He is now facing charges preferred by two Pittsburg girls after his acquittal on charges filed by a fornier nurse girl In the Heeler household. Meetings of the citizens are being held in protest against the proposed secret sessions of the committees of citizens appointed to investigate the Heeler charges. Thousands of chil dren are still on strike because of Heeler’s return to duty, though he Is now In North Manchester, Ind., his old home, where he was summoned because of the serious illness of his mother. The investigators have completed an outlie for their probe, but will not start work until Heeler returns to Pittsburg so that he may be present and defend himself in person, if he so desires. • EATS THROUGH A TUBE. He rightly holds that since the peo ple contribute the money to nay the salary, the people have the right to expect that the postmaster himsel? Is earning It, instead of letting hLe sub ordinate do all tho work. New Yorker Has His First Square Meal in Fifteen Years. Daniel J. Curtain, of New York city, an employee of the Street Clean ing department, ate his grst square a side Issue for some other business - meal In fifteen years a few days ago. Postmaster General Burleson thinks that If the postmasters devote their entire business time to their work, there will be need for fewer subordinates, and thus a great econ omy will be effected. Every Repub lican administration for the past six teen years lias regarded post offices an legitimate game for political Job hunters. MoKInlef postmasters were thrown out to make room for Roose velt postmasters, and so on. The Re publican factions fought among them selves for the spoils Fir sixteen years under Republican rule the small town post office has been a political reward pure and sim ple And as a result, fully two thirls of the post offces of the I'nited St it.-s are fllUwl with men who conMniio some other line of business ac<lvitv They are merehan’a. manuf.icturers and bankers Once a day they drop In at the post office to s*w If every thing Is running all right, and then •re frw* for th® rent of the day to pursue their private money making The 12.000. 12.600, $3,000 or $3.- r>00 which they draw In salary la pure ’’velvet''. The low paid clerks do the work Postmaster Gentral Burleson has Informed the Democratic applicants that thla practice must cease Only efficient men. and men who will give complete attention to their post office duties, will be appointed Somehow thla doesn't sound like the sikmIs sys tern against which the Republicans were warning the country last fill But how different the actions of the Democrats' Never before In our his tory have the qualifications of candi date* for post office Jobs been exam ined with such care It Is predicted that for every p r o- f«M»alonal politician offended by the order, there will he five or six votes created for the Democratic party by ecency, honesty and economy In the administration. It Is hope 1 that the administration will not swerve from ts announced policy. And after it baa thrown from office the profes sional politicians drawing the sal aries while doing little or none of the woik. and that the civil service will he extended to protect permanently the good men who will be placed In the thousands of post offices by the present administration.

The Athens Herald says while it is the part of wisdom and prudence for the secretary of state and the presi dent to exert all the moral suasion possible In California, we are at a loss to see how California can retract from her decision to pass the alien ownership laws, now In contempla tion. Governor Johnson’s point that tho Japanese are Ineligible to citizen ship under national laws, strikes us as peculiarly forcible. The trouble about the whole question^ is that Japan Is going to excuse herself from being soothed, no matter how the question is settled. Those who have been keeping themselves informed as to Japan’s purposes and ambitions have calculated all along that the issue between Japan and the United States, If forced at all, would re forc ed before the opening of the Panama canal. We can readily see how this shorter route to the Orient would put the Japs at a disadvantage In case of war. The California leg islature might, at least, consent to wait until the canal Is opened before carrying out their plans, but even supposing that they do wait, will, Japan agree to wait, too?
