The Suffragists.
Washington, D. O., will be the
scene of a conference of voting women
August 13-15 which willmark an epoch
in United States history, as it will be
the first of its kind ever held. In ten
states, mostly western ones, women
have the franchise. At least one
delegate from each of these states
will attend the conference, which will
be in charge of the National Council
of Women Voters. They are to for-
ward the campaign for woman suffrage
in all states and in the nation. A
feature of the conference will be a
hearing on August 14, at which the
women will urge on an early report
of the pending resolution .to amend
the federal constitution so as to grant
the franchise to women. The women
present at convention will represent
some 4,000,000 women who actually
have the vote now and this is expect-
|ed to increase the interest which
‘would centre about a couneil of Wo-
men who do not have the right of
franchise.
School directors will be elected in
virtually every school district in
Pennsylvania this fall, the number
elected depending upon the size of
district. This office is one of the very
few open to women in Pennsylyania
and reports are heard from various
parts of the state that female candi-
dates are about to petition for places
on the primary ballot on September.
It is difficult to understand the suf-
frage stituation in England, and it is
also difficult to understand that the
militant tactics do not represent the
majority of suffragists of that country.
It is likewise difficult to realize the
ultra-conservatism which prevails in
England. The courts there have just
decided in a test case that women
‘can not practice law. To say that the
decision is not good. law, without
knowing all the facts, would be to
impeach the ability of the English
Courts, but it seems an expedient de-
cision in face of the stiong agitation
in Great Britian for women’s rights.
IMPORTANT QUESTION
RAISED.
In a report filed Thursday morning
by Attorney Alexander King,appoint-
ed by the Court last January to audit
the public accounts,Recorder of Deeds
John G. Emert is surcharged in the
sum of $1,170.
Up until this year, auditing the ac-
counts was merely a matter of form,
but Attorney King made an examina-
tion into all accounts under the act
of 1905, providing that of all fees in
excess of $2,001, one half shall be paid
to the County Treasurer and the
other half retained by the official.
Under $2,000, the official retains all
fees.
In the case of Mr. Emert, King’s
report showed that he had taken in
$4,340 in 1912. Under the law, Mr.
BEmert is entitled to half of all fees
over $2,000. In this instance, he was
entitled to one half of $2,34 or $1,170.
It is alleged, however, that he de-
clined to make any report and retain-
dd all of the $2,340. Emert maintains
that his expenses, during 1912 were
$2,500, leaving less than $2,000, and
that, therefore, he was entitled to all
the fees.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORIA
CHURCH TO COMBAT
FORCES OF EVIL
UR English exchanges report
Len G. Broughton as having
made a diagnosis of the arrest-
ed progress of the Nonconform-
ist churches in Great Britain. His con-
clusion is that much of the trouble is
due to lack of proper emphasis upon
the importance of the, church. He
‘eels that instead of spending time in
the discovery and criticism of faults
in church organizatioh and life we
should devote ourselves to the
strengthening of organized Christian-
ity.
While the denominations in America
have made a larger proportionate
growth than they haye done in Great
Britain déring the last few yeers, con:
ditions here are by no means ideal.
We are compelled to face the fact of
lessened interest in the church on the
part of Christian people. Only in ex-
ceptional cases is there the loyalty to
the church which marked the religious
life of 50 years ago. This decadence
may be explained, in part, by the
growing devotion to pleasure; the mo-
tor-car and the golf Hnks have not a
little to do with the decrease in at-
tendance upon the services of the
house of God. As we have increased
in wealth and ability to supply our
selves with various forms of recrea-
tion, we seem to have decreased in
devotion to the great interests of the
human soul.
Need for Return to Church.
Whatever other reasons there may
be, however, for the decrease fn
church attendance, it seems clear that
the removal of emphasis from the
church as an essential factor in the
work of the kingdom of God has had
not a little to do with the change that
has taken place. For some years, now,
most of us have been busy in mak-
ing it clear that salvation does not
hinge upon ecclesiastical relationship,
and that it is possible to’ the
cause of Christ without using the
church as a medium of expression. We
have laid stress upon the immediacy
of relationship between the believer
and his Lord, something which always
needs emphasis, and have measurably
neglected to set forth the necessity
for co-operative effort for the exten-
sion of the kingdom of God. In our
desire to promote the essential unity
of all the followers of Jesus Christ,
we have, perhaps, unconsciously to
ourselves, conveyed the Bo Drcasion
‘that the world would 2

a conference of Christian young men,
he sald that he had been impressed

had met. Beyond question, the Chris
tian forces of this country must pre-'
sent an unbroken front in the conflict
with the forces of evil. It will be
suicidal, however, for us to injure
all organization and to depend upon
guerrilla warfare. Independent and
isolated activity on the part of the in-
dividual cannot be depended upon to
produce the results. which we desire.
We are weak enough, at the best, and
it ie only in associated effort that we
shall be able to accomplish the tre-
mendous tasks which are before us. A
new sense of the importance of the
charch and a larger and more un-
selfish devotion to its interests are
greatly needed in the religious life of
today.—The Standard.
Law of Love.
“Jove is the fulfilling of the law.”
The law of love is a’ positive prin-
ciple. - Neither morals mor ‘manners
can be taught by saying “Do not.”
The old law said, “Thou shalt not,”
but Jesus says, “Thou shalt love.”
Against the pharasaic legalism that
constructs a law of negative require
ments and calls it righteousness, he
places love, which is the soul of duty,
the unfailing fountain of all benefi-
cence and service. 1t "displaces bad-
ness by the “"expulaive power of a
new affection.” : “Love is the fulfilling
of the law.” As in the tree every bit
of bark, trunk, branch, twig, leaf and
bloom are manifestations of the one
life that builds up all its strength and
beauty, so every commandment of the
moral law and every virtue of the
moral life are transformed expres-
sions of the one central energy of lov-
ing. Of this single theme all hero-
isms and sacrifices, all philanthropies
and reforms, all saintliness and use-
fulness are endless variations.

NINETEEN KILLED
IN MINE ACCIDENT
Dynamite Releases Death Blast
of Gas in Brookside Colliery
FIVE BRAVE RESCUERS DIE
More Death May Result—Rescuers
Among Victims—Premature Blast
1,800 Feet Under Ground Ground
Followed by Igniting of Gas.
Pottsville, Pa.—Nineteen men are
dead and as many more are injured
seriously, some of them fatally, as’ eels
result of explosions in the East Brooks
side colliery of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company near |
Tower City.
The first accident was caused by two
tons of dynamite used in driving a
new tunnel exploding prematurely.
With a tremendous roar the massive
mine pillars 1,800 feet below the sur-
face were shattered.
A rescue party started into the mine
immediately, and they had hardly
been lowered into the shaft when the
second explosion followed. This was
caused by the flame reaching a pocket
of gas. In the second disaster Super-
intendent John Lorenz and Harry
Schoeffstal, the fire boss, who led the
| rescuing party, were overcome.
For five minutes the bottom of the
mine, which is reached by the deepest
shaft in the anthracite coal region,
was like a furnace, with all the miners
within reach of the flames lying pros-
trate on their faces to avoid breath-
ing the fumes. The terrible heat, how-
ever, either scorched the life out of
most of them, or the concussion and
flying rocks killed them.
A second rescue force was then
formed and they got the bodies of
Superintendent Lorenz and Schoeff-
stal, besides those of three miners.
Lorenz was brought to the Potts
ville Hospital, where he died. Schoeff-
stal was fatally injured. The three
miners revived almost as as soon as
they reached the surface.
In the first explosion thirteen were
killed, and in the second five of the
six rescuers. The dead were scat
tered about for ‘a quarter. of a mile.
Only three were taken out alive, and
one of those died on the way to the
hospital.
Most of the dead men were map
ried, ‘and the explosion leaves forty
orphans, nearly all of whom were 2b
solutely dependent upon their fattiefs
tor support.
The other dead are:—

Moines — Gomez Confident.
" Caracas, Venezuela. — The revolt
glarted several days ago by adherents
t Cipriano Castro, the deposed Presi
at of Venezuela, has reached a stage,
which has inspired the government
with fear of a general uprising against
the Gomez administration. This was
indicated wheén the Federal Council
authorized President Gomez to as-
sume dictatorial powers until the
movement is crushed. General Gomes
immediately sent a circular to the
Governors of all the State informing
them that the Castro faction is im
armed rebellion and asking them for
co-operation to quell the revolt.
In official circles here it is asserted
that the country as a whole is against
the revolt and that the government
will be able to retain the upper hand.
Fights between the forces of the
State governments and the rebels are
reported from the Colombian border
and the east of Venezuela. General
Rosalio Gonzales invaded the State
of Tachira from Colombia, but was
defeated by General Romero and
forced to retreat. General Torres
Castro, a nephew of the former die-
tator, entered Venezuelan territory
from the sea and attacked the city of
Macuro, but was defeated by govern.
ment troops upder the command of
General Zayago. .
News has been received here of the
departure from Curacoa of General
Simon Bello, Castro’s brother-in-law,
with a force of troops aboard a sloop
bound for the Venezuelan cast. The
government denies having received
any official information that Castra
himself is on Venezuelan soil.
Teneriffe, Canary Islands.—Accord-
ing to statements by General Castrd’s
wife and children, who are living here,
the exiled President of Venezuela was
in Hamburg last Wednesday. They
refuse to say anything about his
plans.
U. 8. CAUGHT UNPREPARED.

Washington.—Secretary of State
Bryan was officially advised that Cip.
riano Castro had returned to Venezu:
ela and taken charge of the forces
dlready assembled in his name for the
purpose of overthrowing the Gomes
government in that country.
The peculiarly embarrassing feature
of the situation from the Washington
point of view is the fact that ‘Ameri
can interests in the Venezuelan capi
tal are in the sole charge of a clerk of
fegation, the officers of both minister
and secretary of legation being vac
ant.
Secretary Bryan on receipt of the
news éalled upon the Navy Departs
ment to rush a ship to Venezuela. The
navy assigned the cruiser Des Moines
to this ‘duty. Her sailing will be de
ldydd, however, until Henry F. Ten:
nant, formerly third secretry of Max.
