A recruiting campaign for Christian worker. A aeries of life work conferences are being planned. 'The sacrificial life, the cull of Christ." ts to be the dominant note sounded out for all men and women as future ler.ders of the" church, and the distinctive plea made that Christ needs racrificialmen and women In the home. In commerce. In professional life, In civic re sponsibility. In the pew as well as the pulpit; everywhere Christ calls men to Meed In order to bless. Then will follow conference on the gospel ministry, home and foregn -missionary work, teaching deaconess work and all other forms of life work service. As a result of this recruiting campaign It is expected that hundreds of our best trained men and women will ivt themselves to Christ for the work of the church as He shall need them.

Advices are received from Roms that the. ccnslstory to fill ths vacancies In the Sacrrd College of Cardinals will not be held until 1911. Very probably In ths first quar ter of ths new year. Ho far this year the holy sea has had to larrent ths loss of only two princes cf the church, the late Cardinal RatolU. who died In the first week of 1910. and on November 24 the death of Cardinal Zabarella occurred. This death reduces the Sacred college to fifty-one nineteen short of the plenum" of seventy and thirteen leas than the num ber In It at the last conclavs. During the last pontificate ths cardinals In Curia constituted about half ths Sacred college, now they ar only twenty-two. and half a dossn of these are prevented by age and Infirmity from taking an active part In the government of the church. From the Hats of thaj "annua'lra ecclesatlque' It will be seen that ths chief helpers of Pops Plus X are those whose a would Imply the greatest activity. TJis youngest Is Cardinal Merry del Val. secretary of state, on -whose sheulders falls ths greatest share of the difficulties and problems of the pres ent pontificate. Among the younger members also are Cardinal Vive, prefect of the Congregation of the Religious, that new and Important emincll created by the Constitutional Sa pient! Conxtlio; Cardinal de Lai. secretary of the Conststortal Congregation, who has been ths Pope's chief Instrument In ths reform of the Roman Curia; Cardinal I?am pollu. secretary of ths Supreme Congrega tion of the Holy office first In order of dignity of all Roman congregations, and Cardinal Gaaparrt, prefect of the commis sion for the codification of canon law; Cardinal Vlncenso Vannuetlll. prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Segnatura, and Cardinal Cavlccnlonl. prefect of the Congregation of Studies, will be ? year of age this month, but they ars still won derfully active and full of energy. Pratestaats (o-aarrat lac Kven tho curoay observer of ths trend of things In ths Protestant denominations of Christendom cannot fall to discern the evidences oi co-operation, federation, and unity all words whoso frequent recurrence In ths religious periodic literature of ths diY furnishes ths best confirmation possible of the drift of things. Ail reusing- the" Lawmen's Federation of Washington recently,. Dr. Hugh MacCauley, secretary of ths Federal Council of Churches of Christ In America, gave this out of his large experience In the move ment. "Unification of agencies, reduction i? the competitive system ts a minimum, ths pre vention of rivalry and waate these are the watchwords of ths federative trend In affairs of ths church, as In affairs of busi ness and Industry. The Christian forces are Just beginning to understand ths mean ing of ths steady trend toward consolida tion In the realm nf action, while retaining Individualism In he rralm of thought." Ths general committee of the Methodist KptMceral boai-d has issued aa appeal to the various bodies of ths denomination. It contained this significant sentence "Co operation In now the watchword among all Protestant denominations. Once they ete in hostile array, but now they are 'one army of the living God.' " There Is an apparent trend among ths nations charac terised bv a spirit of toleration and re llKluus liberty heretofore unknown.

Ths 1 members Of a . woman's club at Trenton. N. J., have prepared a bill re quiring married men to wear thumb rings to Indicate their wedded state and they ' will , present it at ths coming session of the state legislature. Governor-elect Wit son has been asked to endorse the measure. "A great many homes have been made unhappy," explained ths president of the club to a reporter, "by husbands posing as single men and making love to others than their wives. Also several cases where young girls have been mads unhappy by falling In love with married men whom they thought single have been reported." Far be it from us to attempt to throw cold water on a plan which Is apparently so fair! However, we think the ladles are entitled to be told that all sorts of secret opposition will spring up to tbelr bill and render Its passage practically Impossible. The gay traveling man, for Instance, whose coming brings Joy and a breath of the great world toe the pretty milliners and divers other maidens In the smaller cities and towns he visits will never con sent to carry about with him an emblem a calculated to dampen his reception. And the bald-headed contingent who sit Im the front rows and receive the general or personal smiles and roguish glances from ths chorus ladles will hardly fall to oppose a plan which would condemn a considerable number of them to receive glances so Icy cold, so studiously Indif ferent, as to fresse the marrow In their bones. ' Similarly, ths vast numbers of men who buy cigars from pretty cigar girls, who chat familiarly with scrumptuous looking telephone ladlea In hotels, who linger longer than la absolutely necessary for business purposes before the window which frames the handsome cashier's countenance all these may be relied on to feel the same way about It. Even ths "tired business man" whs goes on a long journey need not be expected to remain entirely neutral while a proposi tion which would render ths making of parlor car acquaintances so much more difficult la being urged on a state legisla ture. Howsver, It is but just to say that self ish, personal reasons will not necessarily be the principal ground of opposition with all ths classes here mentioned. ThouHande ot men will no doubt object not so much because they do not want the fact of their marriage to be known as because they do not want to bring disappointment and sor row to various ladies with whom they come in contact as they journey through life. When these kind-hearted men think of how cheerless would be ths lot of un numbered pretty cigar girls and scrump tious cashiers and handsome telephone ar tists and chorus ladles and parlor car ac quaintances If they were continually re minded of ths married state of their ad mirers, tbey simply haven't the heart to do It. Furthermore, many will naturally feel that the Injustice which would result In divers casas from requiring married men to wear a simple thumb ling might prop erly be urged against ths measure. Clearly, If ths thumb ring has to come, (here should be different styles Indicating the different ststes of ths gentlemen's matri monial relatlona. For Instance, there should be one Indicating "happily married"; another, "still married, but wife Is In Reno"; another, "married, but divorce suit will be filed nest week," and so on through the list. The women of the Trenton Woman's club evidently mean well, but they have con sidered neither ths practical difficulties In ths stay of tbelr measure nor ths unhappl neaa they misht causa a lot of amnn Iwho do not deserve such a blow.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S. -Development of the coal fields, both tn Alaska and the United States.. "with due adherence to the principles of conservation." ts strongly urged by Commissioner Dennett of the general land office In his annual report to the secretary of the interior, made public today. He wants the coal delivered to the bins of the ultimate consumer at the cheap est possible price, but at ths same time wants legislation which would prevent the fields falling Into ths hands of the mono polies. "If Is Imperative." he said, "that new legislation be passed covering the disposi tion of coal lands In Alaska and in the U nited States. The Inadequacy of the pres ent laws Is universally conceded. .This proposition, therefore, needs no argument The progress of advancement In ths west Is being retarded under present conditions by ths difficulty In the successful opening of new mines under legislation as It exists today. Competition has been checked. The consumer is having to pay, therefore, a greater price than it would be reasonable to expect he would have to pay if It were possible to open new mines under legisla tion which would encourage the develop ment of this resource. "Legislation, however, which would not retain In the United States the right of supervision over ths marketing of the prod uct, would be a mistake, he continues. To throw this resource open so that the coal deposit would ultimately pass Into ths hand of the monopolies and trusts would bo to render the conditions worse than thav are at present. Congress, therefore, should carefully guard ths enactment of legis lation, and see to It that the requisite con trol Is retained in the United dates, so that a combination for ths purposes ot unjustly advancing prices can be checked through government supervision." Owe Poalttow la Llea ef Twe. The abolition of the positions of register and receiver tn the local land offices und the creation of one position In lieu of the two. is recommended. This course, he says, would result In considerable saving aa well as better administration. Under the pres ent system both officers ars responsible tor ths work of the office. ' The substitution of a bonded clerk for the register and receiver is urged, which, with the difference between his proposed salary and the salary now paid to receivers, would amount in a saving to the govern ment of about $150,000, according to the re port The only reference tn ths report to the Ballinger-Plnchot Investigation is con tained In the paragraph declaring that ths aumunt ot work performed during the last fiscal year was t;reater than during the preceding year. The total cash receipts from the sales of public lands, including fees and commis sions on both original and final entries, for the f ecal year 1310 were $&37Lt37. the re port says. Miscellaneous receipts were as folio.: From sales of Indian lands, r..ttrr.5:d; reclamation water right charges, $770.5si: depredations on public laads, saiea of government property and copies of rec ords and plats. $2M,ltS. making the antrre gate total of cash receipt of this bureau during the fiscal year 1910 $11 4t3.922. a de crease of $752,491 from the fiscal year 1909. The aggregate expenditures and esti mated liabilities of the public land service, Including expenses of district land offices, were $3,179,363, leaving a net surplus of $8.2M.560. The total area of public and Indian land originally entered during the fiscal year 1910 Is. according to the report, 2fi.391.2ii9 acres, an increase of ,4u8.7i acres as com pared with the area entered during the year 1909. Thlaarge Increase Is due to the great number of entries made In the north west principally In the state of Montana, where, at cne office. Great Falls there was approximately as much land entered during the past fiscal year, namely, 2.064,- 602, as there was in the whole state of Montana during the fiscal year 19U0. early Elevea Million Aerea. The area patented during the fiscal year, the report says, was 10.9s3.150 acres, a de crease of 1.82.661 acres, as compared with the fiscal year 1909. The number of pat ents Issued during the fiscal year 191. however, exceeded that of 1909 by 2,163. .Of this area 7,404.390 acres were patented un der the homestead law. Urging a change In the place of taking proofs from before the register and re ceiver or United States commissioner, which entails largs expense upon the ap plicant, who, with his witnesses, has to Journey to their offices. Commissioner Den nett says: "Apart from this expense ot the claim ant, ths procedure Is not satisfactory. Ths work of a special agent la largely that of Investigating cases where false pioofa have been made. It Is respectfully recommended that a more expeditious way, and ona where there would be lens cost to the claimant, would be under a system allowing proofs to be taken upon the land lUelf, before a special agent designated to visit the land, who should be authorised to collect from the claimant a fee, the amount of which should be based upon the distance of the claim from some given point within the land district" Laid Restored ta Domain. Going at some length into the work of ths field service and the expenditure of the $1,000,000 for the protection of the pub lic domain, the report says that the total amount of cash collected and turned Into the treasury as a result of the work of the special agents In the field during the fis cal year is $.M9.234. As a result of lftves tierations l.&i.&aa acres have been restored to the public domain an Increase of 1.243. 228 acres over the amount restored dur ing the preceding year. The law for the homestead entry of the surface of coal lands, when Its operation Is properly Inaugurated, says Commis sioner Dennett, will "obviate the delay which ts now experienced and also the necessary contest over the existence or non-existence of coal upon any particular tract of land, under which coal depostlts are alleged to exist." In concluding, the commissioner recom mends that the provisions ot ths act fot the agricultural entries of coal lands be extended to Alabama and Minnesota, Thlrty-KlKBt Itelow at Havre-.
