The Commoner. mui lrIli7 N C rAit An Associated Press dispatch from St. Paul, Minn., says: Attorney General McReynolds served notice that the government was opposed to giving the Union Pacific railroad any further extension of time within which to dispose of its holdings of Southern Pacific stock as ordered hy the supreme court. In doing so ho made known to the railroad's attor neys and to United States Circuit Court Judges Sanhorn, Cook and Smith, at a hearing in the dissolu tion proceedings, his objections to the two latest plans proposed by the railroad for getting rid of its $12G, 650,000 worth of Southern Pacific stock. Mr. McReynolds declared that he could see no objection to the proposed exchange by the railroad of $38,000,000 worth of its Southern Pacific stock (a little less than one- third of Its total holdings) for $21,-1 000,000 worth of Baltimore & Ohio stock held by the Pennsylvania rail road. He asked the court for a' brief time, howeover, within which to investigate the stockholdings of the variouos railroads involved. Permission to make this exchange was sought by the railroad ir a sup plemental plan of dissolution. After hearing lengthy arguments on both sides the court took the mat ter under advisement. No intima tion was given wheUie: either or both of the plans suLmitted, involv ing a year's- delay, would bo ap proved, or whether the court would follow the attorney general's sugges tion and atempt to disposa of the stock itself through the medium of a receiver. stood that the men who committed tho crime are civilians. A London cablegram, carried by tho Associated Press says: Official confirmation of the news of the ac ceptance of Russian arbitration by the Balkan allies still is lacking, but diplomatic circles believe the report to be correct. Bulgaria' desires ar bitration immediately, ;nd as a con sequence is opposed to fhe meeting of the four premiers, as that would tend to delay matters. The proposed meeting of the Bulgars primarily was the cause of the fall of the Gueshoff cabinet which is likely un der the circumstances to remain in power. .Bulgaria felt that she would be outnumbered if the premiers met, and while, consistently opposing such a meeting, as consistently has de manded Russian arbitration. Greece also has desired Russia's aid to settle the quarrel, and Servia was reluctantly compelled to assent. A New York dispatch, carried by tho Associated Press says: Secre tary McAdoo's overnight offer to issue emergency currency complete ly surprised tho financial district. None of the bankers would oxpress an opinion era the subject, but it was clear that the secretary's announce ment was interpreted, oven beforo his explanatory statement of today, as an act to reassure tho legitimate interests of the country, especially those of a mercantile and industrial character. Local bankers believe that tho offer will have the effect of releasing large amounts of time money, in which a' severe stringency was threatening. Recently over-year money was utterly lacking in this market, while the rates for four, five and. six months hardened perceptibly. One effect of the proposed measure was a sharp rally in stocks and stock exchange houses reported a bettor investment demand than at any time since the recent depression. No small part of the inquiry came from out of town sources, where the effect of Secretary McAdoo's announce ment apepars to have been received with greater encouragement than in local circles. The following explanation is given in a dispatch from Washington: The treasury department, it was stated, had been informed by bankers with in the last few weeks that some strin gency might be experienced in mov ing the crops. If they had assur ance that relief could be had under the provision of the Aldrlch-Vreeland act, they would be able to meet that situation, and that it would bo of great value to them generally if they were informed now of the depart ment's attitude. Railroad stock suffered a heavy slump on account of the decision of the supreme court in the Minnesota rate case. Theodore Roosevelt spoke at Buffalo, N. Y., in support of Gover nor Sulzer's plan for a direct primary law. An Associated Press dispatch from Constantinople says: The Turkish grand vizier, Mahmoud Schefket Pasha, was assassinated by two men armed with revolvers, who attacked him while he was proceeding in his motor car to tho sublime port. It is believed in government circles here that tho assassination of the grand vizier was the outcome of a plot against the committee of union and progress (young Turks.) Ibraham Bey, the aid do camp of Mahmoud Schefket Pasha, was also killed by the assassins. It is under- Colonel RooBevelt will make a trip to South America and deliver a lec ture in Buenos Ayres. Governor Morehead of Nebraska has appointed a tax commission whose business it will bo to investi gate the tax systems of other states and make recommendation for a tax system for Nebraska.

The Huerta government in Mexico has chosen a r.e'w cabinet. The Illinois legislature haB passed a bill giving to women who are citi zens, 21 years old, and have resided In the state one year, in the county ninety days and in the election pre cinct thirty days, the right to vote for all offices created by statute since the constitution of 1870 was adopted. A constitutional amendment will be necessary before women can be given the right to vote for state officers, members of the legislature and coun ty officers. Tha poBsibllitiei under the bill are tremendous. Women will be able to vote for aldermen In the MAN'S REDEMPTION From tho El Paso (Texas) Times: Rov. Henry Easter, rector of tho Church of St. Clement, speaking on tho subject, "Tho Transforming Lovo of God," text, 1 Cor. 2:lfi, said: Nothing but the thorough convic tion of the absoluto truthfulness of tho story of man's redemption can begot us that lovo toward God which alone can change our lives. Unless a man believes fully and firmly in the literal truth that God waB made man, and died upon tho cross for our redemption; that Ho roso again for our justification, and ascended into heaven, thero is small hopo of his salvation, because thero is no hope of his affection being fixed upon a being whom ho regards cither as a cold abstraction, or an Impersonal collection of perfect attributes. Na ture may reveal to us a God of wis dom and power, but Christ only has revealed tho tenderness of our heavenly Father. Conscience may show us tho path of duty, but con science is powerless to control until wo love him who first loved us. It may bo aesthetically corcct, but I am sorry for the man who has to preach a Chrlstless gospel. Against all forms of infidelity there is but ono bulwark, and that Is tho plain and pointod assertion of the scrip tural doctrine than that of Jesus Christ there Is no other namo under heaven, given among men whereby wo must bo saved. If you believo what tho Bible tells us of the history and doctrine of Jesus; his miracu lous birth, his sorrowing and labori ous life, his painful death, his resur rection and ascension, and the views which ho himself took of these events, to be literally true, you can not help seeing that tho possibility of man's salvation Is narrowed down to the one way of faith. The Bible without the abatement of one fact, or ono precept, with all its sublime mysteries and simple histories, stands today more firmly rooted than ever in the confidence and affections, not only of the Ignorant and credu lous, but of tho wise and learned. The story is two thousand years old, yet it has lost none of its freshness or its meaning. What human story could thus have borne repetition without weariness? Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. DODGING PROMOTION There is a chafing-dish period for every college girl; but when tho time comes for tho promotion to tho higher position hard by a grand square cooking-stove, most of tho graduates prefer to toot tho alarm whistle on a limousine.
