 At meeting of the members and congregation of this church held at the close of the regular church service this morning, John w. Talmadge, president of the board of trustees, was elected chairman, and the pastor, Rev. George ,Lansing Taylor, was chosen secretary.
 The following preamble and resolu- tions were then read by MT Taylor, l and, on motion were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas The law and order league of this state, in the suppression of illegal liquor selling, gambling ard immortality with their attendant evils, has done and is doing work of inestimable i value for the welfare of all the people of the state, and in methods made nec- essary by those of the law breakers, and above all legitimate criticism, and Whereas, A combined and determined effort is now being made by the allied forces of intemperance and crime in this state to overthrow the good work of said league by a bill now pending in our legislature to repeal its charter thus depriving our statutes against those crimes of their principal means of enforcement and letting loose upon the state a flood of law-breaking, Sab- bath desecration and manifold abomi nations.
 Therefore resolved That we, the members of this church and congrega- tion, assembled for the worship of God and the promotion of righteousness, and without regard to political party lines, do hereby most solemnly and earnestly protest against the proposed repeal of the charter of said league, or any modification thereof that shall inn pair it's powers and efficiency, by any act of our senators or repre- 5entatives in the legislature of this state.
 Resolved, secondly That we hereby call upon our representative from this town, and our senator from this sena- torial district. to use their utmost en- deavors to defeat said bill for the re- peal or impairment of said charter, and we hereby declare that no man acting as the representative of this town, or senator from this district who shall vote for said bill, or who shall fail to use his best efforts against it by voice and vote. may hereafter hope to receive our support and votes for any office in our gift as citizens and voters.
 Resolved, thirdly, That this action be recorded in the records of the official board of this church fer future refer ence and that copies of the same, sign ed by the chairman and secretary of this meeting, be forwarded to our town epresentative, to the SC ator from this district, to tie president of the senate, the speaker of the house of and the secretary of the law and order league On motion the meeting adjourned.

William j. Bryan has published q
book entitled Republic or Empire
The Philippine Question, in which he
discusses territorial expansion from
every standpoint, his argument being
supplemented by chapters dealing with
the various phases of the subject by
Andrew Carnegie, George b. Hoar,
John w. Daniels, Henry M. Teller and
other statesmen and scholars.
As to Imperialism, Mr.. Bryan says:
'.Imperialism finds it's inspiration in
dollars, not in duty. It is not our duty
to burden our people with few specu-
lators an opportunity for exploitation;
lit is not our duty to sacrifice the best
blood of our nation in tropical jungles
in an attempt to stifie the very senti-
ments which have given vitality to
American institutions; it is not our
duty to deny to the people Of the Phil
ippines the rights for which our fore
fathers fought from Bunker dill to
Yorktown. Imperialism has been de-
scribed as The White Mans. Burden.
But since it crushes the wealthy pro-
ducer beneath an increasing weight OF
taxes, it might with more propriety be
called The Poor Mans Lead
IF the peace commissioners had de-
manded q harbor and coaling station in
the Philippines and had required Spain
to surrender the rest Of the land to the
Filipinos az she surrendered Cuba to
the Cubans, we would not now be con.
sidering how to let go Of the Islands.
II the sum of 800 600, 600 had been nee
essary to secure Spain's release the pay
ment of the amount by the Filipinos
might have been guaranteed by the
United States
Mr.. Bryan also says that the purpose
of annexation is to apply to the govern
ment of the Filipinos methods familiar
to the people of Europe and Asia, but
new in the United States. This depart
ure from traditions was not authorized
by the people. Whether it will be rat
flied by them remains to be seen. The
responsibility rests first upon congress
and afterwards upon the power which
makes congresses. Whatever may be
the wish of individuals or the interest of
parties, we may rest assured that the
final disposition of the Philippine ques-
ton will conform to the deliberate
Judgment Of the voters. They consti-
tute the court Of LAST resort, from whose

By reference to the political an
nouncements it will be observed
that J. c. Rutter, Jr., is a candi-
date for Register and Recorder Of
this county. Mr.. Rutter is so we'll
known to the voters of this part of
the county that an extended intro
ductory notice seems to be entirely
unnecessary. During the past thir-
teen years he has been engaged in
the newspaper business at Blooms
burg, which brought him in daily
contact with people from all parts
of the county, and from which he
has gained a wide acquaintanceship
through his courteous treatment of
all with whom he transacted busi-
ness. Mr.. Rutter comes from a
good Democratic family, and has
himself rendered much valuable
service to his party and its cause.
His thorough capability, his excel
lent business traits, and his court
eous and obliging manner, forms
strong recommendation for his nom
ination and election to the Office tc
which he aspires. Benton Argus.

The discontinuance of the "cou-
pom business" by the merchants is
a step in the right direction. 1t is
doubtful if it attracted cent S
worth Of trade, materially reduced
the profits, made an endless amount
Of trouble, sometimes resulting in
misunderstanding and the loss OF
a permanent customer, and was a
nuisance generally. The merchants
who used it in this town are the
loudest in its condemnation.
