There u now on the docket of the supreme court of Georgia an ec
clesiastical case of faMflflchlng importance, elnce It has a direct bearing
on the question of tho union of churches of the same or of nearly the
same faith, which is one of tho marked tendencies of the time*. WHh
the right or wrong of the local contention wo hare nothing to do. Bat
tbs question reaches farther than the local Interact involved- The supe
rior court has decided, practically, that the lately effected union betwee*
the Cumberland Presbyterian ehureb and the Northern Presbyterian
church was null and void and from that decision an appeal has been taken
tu the supreme court.
During the civil war, the Protestant Episcopal church and the Cumber
land Presbyterian were practically the only ecclesiastical bodies, of any
size, that were represented In both sections of the country thst held to
gether. The Methodist and Baptist denominations bad already been spilt
apart by the Issues out of which grew the war Itself. The Presbyterian
denomination was split in twain. The United Presbyterian was disunited,
the Southern branch being known ns the Associate Reformed. The Epis
copal church was strongest In the North, but after the war the two
liarta of the church came together and went along ss If nothing had hap
pened. So did tha Cumberland, two-thirds in the South and one-tblrd In
the North.
With the revision of the Northern Confession thsre began a move
ment for union between the Northern and the Cumberland Presbyterian
churches. The assemblies of the two etuuches first agrsed to the plan
of uolun and then the majority of the presbyterft-s, of both bodies. Last
May, with considerable pomp and circumstance, the two assemblies,
separated on doctrinal grounds for nearly a hundred years, came togeth
er again.
But thsre was left In the Cumberland church a strong minority that
had opposed the union. Of course It was taay soon to bring up * case
where property rights were Involved, whose decision would also decide the
larger Issue as to whether the two churches, with somewhat differing
creeds, had the legal right to unite, whether or not the protesting mi
nority Is Jhe Cumberland church Itself, with a right to the control of the
property.
Of course we do not prejudge the case now before the learned court.
But we suggest that the union of ecclesiastical bodies is, to us. one of the
most beneficent movements of Christendom. In union Is strength. In sep
aration there la weakness and waste. The Methodist bodies. North and
South, have been approaching each other with the design of having one
great Metbodlst organisation. So with the BapUit convent Ions, North
and South. The various Presbyterian bodies of the country are preparing
to unite In a rather loosely framed federation of churches, the Southern
Presbyterian church being the last to decide the question, but by the
votes already cast promising to decide It In favor of the federation, out of
which a closer union may well grow. But the Cumberland church was di
vided from the Presbyterian church not on sectional grounds at all. It
claims nevsr to have been a sectional church. And the majority of Its
members have apoken for union with a church of like faith and order.
It may be well that the civil coorta, to which appeal has been taken. In this
and other Instances, and the probability Is that the matter will reach the
supreme court of the United Btatea In some form at last, will decide that
the decfflbtr Is uul with them, that It hae already !*
ecclesiastical courts of both churches and that the civil courts have no
right lo go behind the returns but only to declare what the church
courta have already decided. This was the decision of the supreme court
or the United States In the famous Walnut Street church case.
But what we started out to say was simply that from the layman's
point of view the more unions of churches there are tha better, that the
layman sometimes finds It hard to tell the difference between his church
and some other church, that the best men In all the cbnrcbes stand to-
gother In the community for right things and good measures, and learn to
rely upon each other more than upon the weaker members of their own
churches, that the tendency of the churches to minimise their differ
ences and to exalt the essantlal and fundamental things on which they
agree-teems to us to bo an essentially Christian tendency, and that we
trust no legal obstacle wlU~bare _ td be fhrowh lfl the way of ■uch-wtsti'-
dency, or, If that must be, that the legal obstacle may -be Itself removed by
a better law.

When we come to look for reasons for giving up the Philippine Is
lands as a national possession we shall find them well and ably act forth
by Judge James H. Blount, of Mason, to the mid-January number of The
. North American Review.— - ~ - ' •_
There can be no two opinions sis to thrfact thaT Jtfdge Blounfr sr-
tlde haa created a remarkable general Interest among thinking man
throughout the country, and that It haa stamped him among the soundest
thinkers and observers who have considered this serious and vital question
of our colonial policies.
The article In The Review has received wide comment and a remark
able degree of approval among patriotic and thinking Americana.
The New York Times and Evening Post give it elaborate editorial
comment, and while The Times commends Its suggestive power. The Post
openly and heartily Indorses ll. The Boston Herald halls Its suggestion as
a "Way Out of a Serious National Difficulty." Andrew Carnegie gave his
liersnnal check for $1,000 to have It published and distributed by the Fili
pino I’rogTesa Association, and on Tuesday last Representative SlaVden,
of Texas, to a speech to congress supporting Ua views, hid the entire arti
cle sent to the clerk's desk and read, and afterwards Incorporated Into The
Congressional Record as a pxrt*of hls remarks.
It Is a matter of congratulation In Georgia that one of bar younger
sons has demonstrated the research and ability to fairly lead the thought
of the country upon this great question, and to furnish the "sinews of ar
gument" for those who favor the treeing of the Philippines.
Judge Blount's article to The Review has won mm a place among the
publicists ot this era, and he Is henceforth a man of national distinction
and repute.
Judge Blount Is a lawyer at the Macon bar. He Is a son of that fa
mous Georgia congressman who for so many years wss the Invincible
representative of the Macon district, and one of tho distinct "powers" of
the political era In which ho figured.
The son was for fwo years an officer to the Philippines, and for four years
a Judge of tha court of first lustanco In the Islands. He has been a diligent
and profound student of conditions, aspirations, protests and possibilities
of the Filipinos, and spoi\)tB therefore from personal Information and
with authority.
He finds the Islanders, saving and excepting only the office-holders
drawing salaries, unanimously and passionately desirous of Independence.
They are not satisfied with American rule or American Institutions, and
In the opinion of Judge Blount they will nover he eontented this side of
liberty, lie believes from a loug and patient observation of the people
In the courts, at the bnr, among the Juries and in commercial pursuit and
IHilltlcal relations that they are progressive and capable* of self-govern
ment.
He summarizes In convincing fashion the Increasing difficulties local
and International which will compass our future relations with these
Islands, and he proposes that three strong Americans who have had expe
rience there and demonstrated wisdom and capacity shall be named by
congress and the president as a commission lo promise the Filipinos their
Independence In ten years, aud lo lend their whole power and Influence
to the effort to help the native people establish a stable government "Within
that time.
"Judge Blount's article Is as timely as It Is able and convincing. The
common sense view of this country, when honestly expressed In private or
social gatherlnga rather than In guarded political utterance, fa In favor
of letting tho Philippines go.
Of course the dignity and humanity of the republic demands that this
withdrawal shall be made with the highest consideration for the Island
er's and with the wisest and most enlightened effort to conserve the fu
ture welfare and happiness of tho people who have for a time been a
part of our government.
But the country Is anxious to be rid of the problem, the expense and
Ihe menace of the Philippines. We are no logical prospect of either
profit or glory or real success In assimilating these people Into our
government.
We see. too, with additional emphasis within Ihe past few mouths, the
isisslbllltles of entanglement and strife with Japan ‘or tha future China
over this Eastern archipelago, and the sober senso of the country believes
that now Is the lime lo withdraw front a responsibility which promises to
■■C i.
little profit or happiness, and It pregnant with so many -prognostics of dan
ger end strife. .
The Georgian prssented oa Saturday this view of the subject lo greater
"detail. *
tor today It la our desire to congratulate our fallow Georgian, Judge
Blount, upon the thoughtful and noble article which haa won him such
well-deserved plaudits, and to indorse moat heartily the poaltion which he
baa token and bis reasons for the faith that Is In him.
We believe that within three yean tha government will frame and ex
ecute tor the Philippines an act granting their Independence along Hoes
similar to thoee-propoead by Judge Blount.
Aud we have something more than a speculative faith'that the breve
and strenuous president of the United Statee will lead the movement thst
looks to this wise sad prudent end.

To the Kdltor of The Georgian.

Atlanta Is of Interest er should lie to avery

reeeon. I make bold t6 auggeet the follow-
Idajplqtjog' It fa not new and haa been
suggested before.
All know the danger to which those Are
exposed who live close to e patient euf-
fertng with tubarcnloata. This danger can
only ba lessened by educating the patients
themselves to the potut where they can un
dents iriTbow dangerous If la to other pao-
ple for them to cast their sputum every*
where. They must learn to live on a high
ethical plane; mnat rUe to n high altru
ism: put up with inconveniences In order
that the mass of humanity may be saved
from thla dreadful dt*en*e.
Nearly every huninii being tint la ci-
niulned showa that at some time the germ*
of this disease found lodgment there, but
the person's gcimml health was ao good
that he wa* able to witbstaftd their lit-

natty. Indorsing and encouraging and
urging forward the Atlanta Anti-Sa
loon League In Its local fight on the
liquor traffic.
Not a paper in the city has stated
that fact, and yet It la a fact vital to
the Intereets of Fulton county. Loukat
the situation:
Three mass meetings of Fulton coun
ty citizens have said: "Call an elec
tion;" and the last of these put the
work In the hands of our local league.
Now, the state league says to us:
Go on: we are with you, and Indorse
and approve.what you are doing." If
"conservatism" Inclpdes In Its defini
tion the notion of Carrying out faith
fully the Instructions that we have re
ceived, then we are conservative In
that sense. But If conservatism mean*
what the Republicans mean when they
talk about thti revision of the tariff,
or the trusts mean when they cry out
to be let alone, or Invested capital
means when It says: "We don’t want
business forces disturbed,” or politics
means when it says we can't allow
this qusstlon to come In now and
break up our party alignments, or any
of these men or classes who would
rather bear all the sin and shame and
ruin constantly flowing from the liquor
traffic than to have their own affairs
slightly readjusted, then we are not
now, and never will be, conservative.
Beside* all this, let me say:
The situation In our county Is such
that we are obliged to make thle fight,
even If we get defeated. No possible
defeat can be ao disastrous now as a
back down Would be. Mass meeting
after mats masting has said "go on."
The Evangelical Mlnlatere have eatd

To the Editor of Th* G«orglan:
The North rejects dsportatlon. The

negro t« a physical fact: but the mu

Will Georgia be n state of mulat-

Illlnola receive their share of the ne
