America and to call upon Presbyterian
evangelistic committees to seek fed
eration with evangelistic committees
of other ecclesiastical bodies in their
territory to the end that the churches
may develop a more thorough and
systematic direction and control of
evangelistic work." Within the next
six months this resolution or Its
counter part will be adopted, it is
promised by each of the twenty-six
denominations in the federal council,

The Rev. Dr. John A. Marquis,
president of Coe College. Cedar
Rapids, la., was elected moderator
yesterday in an election marked by
considerable disorder. Doctor Marquis
was elected on the second ballot, re
ceiving tilt; votes against 237 for the
Rev. Dr. William 1,. McEwan, pastor
ol the Third Presbyterian Church, of
Pittsburgh. Doctor Marquise is a
moderate conservative, and Doctor
McEwan a conservative.
Members of the New York Presby
tery and Union Seminary men are
exultant over the defeat of Doctor
McEwan. the candidate of their ultra
conservative opponents. The New
Vork Presbytery intends to ask for
the appointment of a committee to
investigate its licensing of candidates
for the ministry, it is said, and its
members feel assured that Doctor
Marquis will appoint a strictly impar
tial committee.
Shouts of "Sit down" and 'No, it Is
not so," greeted the Rev. Dr. John G.
Kwart, of Colorado Springs, when he
injected theological controversy into
his address, in seconding Doctor Me-
Ewan's nomination. Many are of the
opinion that his injudicious remarks
led lo Doctor McEwan's defeat.

MAKING CHILDREN EAT
Nothing ia ever gained by forcing &
child to cat when it refuses food. Make
aure that nothing ia being eaten between
meals to destroy the natural appetite
and if your growingchild does nothave
a healthful craving for good, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats of punishment it
the child does not eat will not correct
I the difficulty.
A fitful appetite in a growing child,
especially if the patient is pale, languid,
j nervous, irritable, and without ambi
tion, ijsually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
i Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is demanded.
During her 'teena a girl lays the foun
dation for her future health. Lack of
; blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It is of
the greatest importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak a safe
i tonic and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
I meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. They mako the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
{ body.

i WILSON KILLING
CIVIL SERVICE
Declares He Is Wrecking Merit
System to Establish
Spoils
Special lo the Telegraph
Washington, May 19. Charges I
that the Democratic party under the.
Wilson administration has wrecked the
merit system of government service
and prostituted the federal civil serv
ice commission to the demands of
spoils politics was made in the House
to-day by Representative Fess , of
Ohio.
"During the years froip 1883 to
1913," said Mr. Fess, "the civil serv
ice commission gained a real place as
one of the government bureaus. It
was the one commission that stood for
efficiency rather than partisan ad
ministration. The commission itself
in its personnel was so created Roose
velt, to avoid partisanship, made it
Democratic, and Taft continued It so.
"The advance of the merit system
was constantly supported by the party
in power by legislative enactment. It
was loudly proclaimed in the Demo
cratic platforms every four years.
Gives Wilson's Record
"This administration must be judged
by the record it makes. Up to date
its record on the civil service is as
follows:
"June 23, 1913: Technical services
in the office of the supervising archi
tect exempted from the classified ser
vice. This was a rider on an appro
priation bill.
"October 3, 1913: Agents, deputy
collector, inspectors and other em
ployes in connection with the income
tax exempted from civil service rules.
"October 22, 1913: Deputy collectors
of internal revenue and deputy United
States marshals exempted from civil
service rules. This was a rider upon
an appropriation bill.
"December 23, 1913: Employes un
der the federal reserve act, are not in
cluded in the civil service regulations.
"July IC, 1914: Commercial at
taches, department of commerce, ex
empted from regulations of the merit
system, by a rider to an appropriation
bill.
"August 1, 1914: Commissioner of
immigration, New Orleans, by a rider
upon an appropriation bill was ex
empted from the operation of the
merit system.
"August 1, 1915: Commissioner to
five civilized tribes taken out of the
civil service regulations."
Representative Fess also pointed
out that the entire lists of officers un
der the rural credits bill, just passed
by the House, are outside the civil
service and that the same tactics are
pursued in the shipping bill.

though widely varied matters of State
Interest, members of the Pennsylvania
Bankers' Association yesterday held the

During the afternoon session th<>

speakers the means by which they
could aid in the good roads movement

that good roads for the farmers Is a

DUPOXT BOOM EXPLODES
Headqnnrtcrs in Presidential Cam
paign Hare Been Abandoned
New York, May 19.—The flrst ex
plosion of the Presidential campaign
happened yesterday when the duPont
boom—not the powder works—blew
up. For the last three weeks the du-
Pont Presidential movement, backed
by the six votes of Delaware, has been
ensconsed in a luxurious parlor in the
Waldorf.
The headquarters are no more. A
careful search of the to-day did
not disclose the headquarters of the
businessman's candidate in the build
ing. A polite Information clerk stated
that the duPont boom had departed,
whither he did not know, but if the In
quirer happened to be a delegate or
some other speaker of knowledge he
would find the secretary of the boom
at the Republican Club, he thought.

Compound of Simple Laxative

Constipation is a condition that af
fects the old, young and middle-aged,
and most people at one time or an

purgatives should not be employed to
relieve constipation, as their effect Is!
only temporary while they shock the

A remedy that can be used with per

that is equally effective for the strong

known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
