of the American republic. she was Miss
Nancy Campbell Allison and was born
at New Lisbon. o., in 1909. Her family
originally came from England to Nir-

settled permanently in Ohio. She was
married to William Mckinley, Sr., jan
uary 8. 1870. and was living IN two
story frame house. still standing near
Niles. o.. when her distinguished son
was born, January 30 1915. The re-
moval from Niles TO Mahonipg county
was prompted by a desire To give her
children an academic education.

method of government was not good
one, but was, in fact, a thing to be rid
of.
Thus a Democratic candidate was
elected mayor of New York because
Republican rule had been found OBJ
noxious, the people determining for
themselves to test the efficiency OF
Democratic rule. The mayor was
therefore elected as a Democrat, and
because he was Democrat, so that
he might restore Democratic govern.
ment to the city. Undertaking to per-
form this work, the new mayor pro-
poses to call to bis aid only those who
are Democrats, not because the spoils
of Office belong to the Democrats, but
because the people have declared at
the polls that they want Democratic
government.
When the question of appointment
comes before him, Mayor Van Wyck
will ask himself, first, whether the ap-
plicant possesses honesty and efficien-
cy, and, next, is he Democrat. The
new mayor says that there are thou
sands of honest and efficient men IN
New York who are also true Demo-
Gratis, and these he will appoint to Of
fee.
This is broad and sensible view to
take, and it embodies the idea of true
civil service reform-the only civil SER
vice reform that is worthy of the name
in a country where government is car
ried on through parties.

THE CHOIR ON A STRIKE.-The cho-
rus choir of the Peoples church, OF
New York, of which Rev. Tom Dixon,
Jr., is pastor, consisting of about 40
singers, refused to sing last Sunday out
of sympathy with Professor Agra
monte, their leader, because the pastor,
on Sunday of last week, advocated the
election of Seth Low for mayor.
Professor Agramonte is a Cuban and
member of the junta in New York.
His son has been in a Spanish prison
on the island of Cuba for two years.
The Cubans say that Seth Low was
opposed to any intervention of this
country in Cuban affairs and has stood
against the cause of Cuban liberty since
the outbreak of the last war.
Mr.. Dixon, in his sermon on last
Sunday, said that he sympathized with
Professor Agramonte and had advoca'
ted the voting for Low the previous
Sunday only because he stood the best
chance for election against Tammany'
He was opposed to Low personally.

move from bursted boom town in Ala
bama. The plant is dead loss there,
and here he hopes to make it profitable.
Then again, he would be enabled to util-
ize the paper received OH the hose, in put
ting down the pipe, and at considerable
saving he could use the pipe force in put
ting up the electric light plant.
The members of the council considered
the proposition at length, giving especial
attention to the hose and pipe line feat
ures. Wardens Moore and Propst did
most of the talking. Warden Moore was
i'm favor of more permanent pipe extern
sions and less temporary hose purchases.
Warden Propst did not think the town
was in a position to make any extensions
OF the main water lines at this time, and
did not think that the council would be
justified in going further than the pur-
chase of 700 feet of additional hose, If so
much be needed. This, he argued, would
extend the fire protection in all directions
from the present mains, while additional
water mains would only be of benefit to
people Immediately adjoining.
Finally, Mr.. Propst took the position
that if the town were out of debt and had
surplus money on hand, it would be JUS
tilted in extending the water mains; but
unless it could be shown that such extern
sions were absolutely necessary, he did
not think that the council was at all war
ranted in incurring the proposed addi-
tional Indebtedness. Not only this, he
thought it was bad business to act hastily
on the other fellows proposition before
investigating further.
Mr.. Parish explained that what he was
after was to get that electric light plant.
Even if somebody else should agree to
sell the hose and pipe at 10 cents foot
cheaper, he was satisfied that this was the
best proposition, for the electric light Of
fer more than made up for the difference.
He did not think that there was any pos
sible chance for the town to get the worst
end of the bargain; but was sure that the
other fellow was stuck.
Mr.. Parish moved the acceptance of the
proposition on basis of l,5O0 feet Of ad-
ditional main, and $50 feet of hose. Mr..
McElwee seconded the motion, and all
voted in the affirmative with the exception
of Mr.. Propst. He voted no.
Mr.. Hebert, who had retired during
the discussion, was recalled, and upon
being informed of the action of the coun-
Gil, agreed to the amendment without
the slightest protest.
The intendant appointed Wardens
Moore and Propst as committee to con-
fer with Mr.. Hebert i'm the arrangement
of details.

INTERESTING BAPTIST STATISTICS.
An interesting fact is suggested by
facts brought out by DR.. Bailey in his
associational addresses. There are in
round numbers go, 900 Baptists in South
Carolina, and 900 Baptist churches.
Thus there is an average of an even
100 members in each of our churches.
If traveller among the churches
should reach two churches week, it
would take him nine years to get
through every church community. A
study of the minutes of our state con-
vention and the year book will reveal
many other interesting facts. One OF
them is that the average salary paid
to a white Baptist preacher in this
state, counting every ordained minis
ter, is less than $500. That in Ken
lucky it is about $500, while in Colo
RADIO it is nearly $1,000, Colorado's
average being larger than that of any
other state.-Baptist Courier.
