FRIDAY. JULY 12, 1901.
MORE than 100,000 Bibles have been distributed in the Philippines during the past two years. There seems to be no legal objection to circulating these along with the flag.
WITH all his brilliancy David Starr Jordan occasionally shows the mark of the ass. His ears simply leap skyward when he advocates the annexation of Hawaii to California.
A STATISTICIAN puts the taxation dealing with crime in this country at $200,000,000 and the annual stolen inoome of criminals at $400,000,000. The value of measures to prevent crime may be estimated accordingly.
EUROPE has discovered that "corn oil" is a valuable product and exceptionally beautiful in color, which is a clear golden. Maize, grain and stalk has a wonderful number of utilities, and now it is expected to furnish a table oil.
THE wheat crop which the northwest is about to harvest will, it is predicted, break all records for magnitude—a bit of news which countries with deficits in their usual stores of cereals will hear with a feeling of thankfulness that in at least one of the world's great granaries there is always enough and to spare.
SOME of the anti-Bryanite Democratic papers are pretending that Bryan is going to be shelved by their party in 1904. Of course many things can happen in the next three years, but it is hard to see how the Democrats can, anywhere in the country, get a man who will come any nearer to carrying the electoral college in 1904 than Bryan did in 19u0. The Democracy in these days is a discordant, demoralized and discredited concern. It has no national leader who can carry the state in which he lives. That party will find by the time that the conventions of 1904 draw near that Bryan is still the logical candidate for it.
THE looting which has been done in China by the European troops is calculated to make the name of a foreigner hateful in that country for many years to come. Happily, the Americans had no hand in the outrages of different sorts which were committed during the campaign last summer, or since Pekin was first occupied. The behavior of the soldiers of the United States in China from the beginning of the occupation down to the evacuation of that country presented a contrast to the actions of the troops of most of the other countries which is creditable to Americans, and which will do much for American prestige. In the past three or four years America has won a high place in the regard of thinking and enlightened persons all over the world.
IN THE last issue of The Commoner Mr. Bryan thunders as follows to the Democratic party: "Do not allow a man to be placed upon any committee—precinct, county, state or national—unle3R he is a believer in the Kansas City platform. If a man opposed to the Kansas City platform is Bent as a delegate to any convention, he should be bound by instructions and should have associated with him a sufficient majority who are Bound on the platform. If a man objects to instructions, leave him at home. No Democratic delegate will object to an expression from the voters whom he seeks to represent."
Prom the perusal of the above it eems that there is rough sledding ahead for the "reorganizationists" if Mr. Bryan has his way.
ALL the volunteers who took part in the war in the Philippines, or who served in any part of America or its possessions under the army enlistment act of 1899, are now mustered out. Most of them were in the Philippines, and they have been conveyed to the United States in the past four or five months. This was a big job, and was accomplished without a hitch. A new army of 75,000 men, all regulars, has been created, and it is probably the most effective fighting force of its size in any country in the world. This army is not likely to be increased, but the chances are that it will not be reduced, even though the fighting in the Philippines is ended. Hereafter the army will always have to remain far above the 27,000 mark, at which it stood immediately previous to the beginning of the war with Spain.
TIIK DISTRICT JUDGESHIP.
It is altogether probable that Judge Baker, of the United States district court, will be appointed to succeed Judge Woods on the circuit bench, and the Indianapolis papers are already discussing Judge Baker's successor. It is gratifying to note that all of them have mentioned as among the few deemed worthy and capable, Albert B. Anderson, of this city. Mr. Anderson is not in any sense a candidate for this high office, yet if appointed would doubtless accept a position which would certainly be acceptable to any attorney in Indiana. While Crawfordsville and Montgomery county would deeply deplore the loss of Mr. Ande^jn, the people here would be highly gratified in case of his preferment, all realizing his peculiar fitness for the place. Mr. Anderson is not only a man of the highest integrity and unusual intellectual powers but is eminently fitted for the office by reason of his age and his legal learning and experience. A comparatively young man, he has behind the training of twenty years hard and sue cessful practice in all the courts of the state. A tireless student of the law, he has displayed a wonderful aptitude in its interpretation and application. Forceful, fearless and honest, he has the qualifications of an ideal judge and to further commend him the prospect of many years before him in a profession to which he is an ornament.
Of all the excellent jurists mentioned in connection with the district judgeship, no one, in the opinion of THE JOURNAL, is so admirably and so eminently fitted and qualified for the position as is Mr. Anderson. Nor is this opinion based on local pride or prejudice. It is founded on a thorough knowledge and appreciation of Mr. Anderson's qualifications, and it will find an echo wherever he is known.
THK SUPREME COURT AMD "PRECEDENT."
Gunton's Magazine: But, in the present case, the court has really followed another and quite as powerful precedent that of taking into consideration the changing conditions which confront the nation and giving the constitution an elastic interpretation in cases where the national welfare seems obviously to require it. To be sure, this is called substituting expediency for principle aijd discrediting the work of the fathers but on the other hand it is logically permlssable, at least, to interpret the constitution as it might reasonably be supposed the fathers themselves would have originally framed it had they been called upon to face the conditions of to-day. It is a familiar fact that written instruments, which at one period are the guarantee of liberty, at another time and under widely different conditions may even become a positive restriction of liberty. In such cases it is the instruments and not the conditions that always are and al-ways will .be modified. The famous decision of the supreme court in the Dred Scott case in 1857 is perhaps the most striking illustration in American history of Sthis irresistible tendency. The court held, ]^by the same line of reasoning now advanced by Chief Justice Fuller and three concurring justices, that the ^constitution extends uniformly to the territories. This, instead of guaranteeing "freedom" according to the original spirit of the constitution, really permitted the extension of Jnegro slavery into the territories, a problem quite unforeseen by the founders. The conflict was between strict interpretation of the constitution, on the one hand, and the exigencies of a new and vital problem on the other. The court stood for the strict interpretation, but the nation obeyed the law— more powerful yet—of irrepressible progress, and establish the contrary principle by four years of civil war.
SECRETARY WILSON, of the department of agriculture, is quoted in a Washington dispatch as saying about the work his department is doing: "There is no doubt this country within a few months will be in a position to ignore every other nation on the globe in the matter of food products. We will produce within our own domain everything that goes upon our tables and upon our backs. We will then be commercially and industrially almost independent of the other nations of the world. Hence any trade combination which may be effected against us will count for nothing. Whenever we get ready we can come pretty near starving any other nation. Therefore an effective combination against us will be an impossibility."
Mr. Wilson then went on to say that steps are being taken to begin the raising of hay in the Philippines, primarily for the hor&es and mules which the government has there. The department's experts are experimenting with coffee, and it is expected that something will be accomplished toward its cultivation during the fiscal year in our insular possessions. Rubber will be cultivated extensively, the secretary says, before long in Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines.
IF Mr. Bryan had been in Crawford svillelastThursday he would-hardly have ventured to remark that the spirit of Fourth of July had passed away.

LESSON II, THIRD QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, JULY 14.
Text of tlie I.esHon, Gen. iii, 1-15. Memory Verio*, I I, 15—Golden Text, Rom. v, -(—Commentnry Prepared liy the Rev. D. M. Stcnriin.
[Copyright, 1901, by American Press Associatioa.] 1-5. This is our introduction to thtgreat enemy of God anil man, that old serpent, the devil aud satnn (Rev. xii, 0 Xx, 2), the prince of this world, the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now workcth iu the children of disobedience (John xiv, 30 Eph. ii, li). Hiwould come between God und mau, lie would break up their fellowship and rub man of his inheritance, aud to do llii.s iie comes in the guise of a friend, using the wisest and perhaps the fairest of all tho beasts of the field as his medium, for ii is evident from verse 11 that it: was something new, and the result of the curse, for the serpent to go upon his belly and eat dust. From this chapter to llt-v. xx we see the devil in conflict with God and man, yet tolerated by God until the time .shall come to put him in the pit: and later in the place prepared for him-—the lake of fire. We are taught to resist him, to give him no place, to stand against him (I Pet. v,'8, 0 Eph. iv, 27 vi, 11), but we cannot well do this if we are ignorant of his devices. Therefore we are here and elsewhere made acquainted with liim and his ways that we may recognize him and resist him and overcome him with the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit even as our Lord Himself did in the wilderness. In his first recorded utterance, "Yea, haih God said?" we see that he questious the word of God. and when any one from that day to this questions the word of God he is for the time being in the service of the devil. lie quest ions the love of God, suggesting to the woman that if God loved them He would not keep from them even the fruit of one tree.
G-8. In the company of and listening to the adversary the woman quickly le:oiues deceived and blinded and led astray. She adds to the word of God verse o) aud actually seems to think that her evil counselor is right and God is wrong, aud she desires the fruit which now seems to her so pleasant, and she took it aud ate it and gave it also to her husband, and he ate it. Thus by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin and by the disobedience ol' )ne many were made sinners (Rom. v, 12, lit). Their fellowship with God was broken, they were afraid of Him and sought to hide from lliui, they lost their glorious garments of light and made for themselves as a substitute aprons of fig leaves. As to their being clothed with Hght, they were made in the image of GoM, and Ps. civ. 2, says that God covers Himself with light as with a garment. This does not conflict with Gen. ii, 2o, for as to putting on clothes they were naked. How seemingly small, but how great and farreaching, their sin, affecting all mankind, for "in Adam all die" (I Cor. xv, 22). 0. "And the Lord God called unto Adam and said unto him, Where art thou?" The first recorded question of God iu Scripture shows llim to us seeking the lost that He may forgive and restore them. It was evidently llis custom to .walk and talk famiiiarl.v with Adam aud Eve in Eden, but a change came over man because of sin, and we have the sad and sorrowful sight, of the creature seeking to hide l'rum his loving Creator. Man's sin only makes more manifest the love atul loveliness of God, and we see Him who afterward came to earth as God manifest in the flesh to seek and save the lost (for every manifestation of God is through His Sou, John i. IS), lovingly seeking His erring ones. lie is still doing this, aud His question to each one still is, Where art. thou? Happy are those who can gratefully reply, la Christ, redeemed by His precious blood. 10-19. The mau, the woman and the serpent each are brought before Him, and He pronounces judgment upon the serpent, the woman and the man. but in His word to the serpent He tells of a coming deliverer. In this verse (15) we have the new birth (enmity with the devil), the conflict between the unrighteous and the righteous (thy seed and her seed), the humanity of the Saviour (tlx/seed of the Conian). His sufferings (thou shalt bruise His heel), His divinity and glorious victory (He shall bruise thy head) —at least a fivefold abundant statement Of the great redemption. In the sentence upon Adam the earth is included, and thorns and thistles grow as a result of the curse. Thus the creation was made subject to vanity not willingly it had no voice nor choice in the matter, and it Bhall yet be delivered and made to rejoice in the liberty of the glory of the children of God (Rom. viii, 20, 21), for our Lord wore a crown of thorns, and the curse shall in due time be removed from the earth (Rev. xxii, 3). As a result of the work of Christ the whole earth shall yet be filled with righteousness and peace and the glory of the Lord (Num. xiv, 21 Isa. xi, 9 Hab. ii, 14 Isa. xxxii, 1, 17). If we would see and share this glory, we must be able to say from the heart at least the first four clauses of Isa. Ixi, 10, and we cannot do this unless we see the significance of verse 21 of this Gen. iii and profit by it. See then the Lord God with His own hand, by the shedding of the blood of the sacrifice, providing redemption clothing for Adam and Eve typical of the garments of salvation which lie has provided for us by His great sacrifice, taking our place and dying in our stead. Adam and I3ve. with their fig leaf aprons, represent all sinners in their sins, having nothing but their own morality, if any. or fancied righteousness, wiiich if they cling to are like those iu Rom. x, ii The Lord Goil Himself without any ludp from mortals provides the righteousness He demands *nd offers it freely to all who are willing to drop their lig leaf aprona (Koui. iii, 24 viii, 1 x, 4). Eden was preserved after man was driven from it. and we have every reason to believe that it continued till the deluge. The flaming sword points on to Zech. xiii, 7, and to (Golgotha, where the sword was satisfied and the way opened to enter paradise. The eherul^'u tell of the future glory of he redeemed when the whole earth shall be an Eden. See their song in Rev. v, 9, 10. Since Adam was driven from Eden no one has been born in Eden, and the only way into it is by nim against whom he sword awoke. In chanter iv we have the two religions set forth in Cain and
Abel—man's way of self righteousness and bringing what he calls his best and God's way of putting away sin by sacrifice, which latter way Abel accepted (Heb. Ix, 22 xi, 4).
