New Pine Organ.

The ladies of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, and many of the rep
resentative men of the congregation,
greatly desire that the elegant pipe
organ to be finally placed in the
new church edifice when it shall be
erected, shall be purchased and put
in the present church structure dur
ing this summer. Dir. Leech has
been corresponding with celebrated
firm of organ builders as to the low
est cash price possible for first
class church organ, with the present
pipe organ TO be received as part
payment. This firm deals directly
with churches and not through
agents and middle men. Last night
the pastor urged the church officers
TO head the ladies' subscription
funds by large donation from a
church fund and it was done by a
unanimous vote. The ladies have
over a hundred dollars in hand over
this donation, which will amount to
half of the cash exchange. The la
dies intend at once, to canvass the
church and community for the 9th
er half. 1t is probable that the or
gan will be built and paid for within
ninety days.
The trustees expect to pay of the
$500 mortgage debt shortly and free
the congregation from all old obliga-
tons; and the church is being nice
ly repaired for temporary uses. THE
sum of 1926 has been raised by sub
scriptions and applied to the cancel
lation of all other debts, within the
past thirty days.

Postage to be Reduced to One Cent.


The enormous increase In the num-
Der Of letters carried in the U. S.
mails make it certain that the rate Of
postage must eventually be.reduced to
one cent an ounce instead of two
cents. The president who succeeds
in getting such measure through
congress will hold high place in the
esteem of the people, but no higher,
perhaps, than the esteem in which
everybody holds Hostetter's Stomach

THE manner in which the treas
ury officials and others deal

1~HE manner in which the treas
ury officials and others deal
with the question of the gold
supply would be amusing if it were
not so serious.
FOR some time past it has been a IA
Vorlte argument with those people that
the increased output of the gold mines
had killed the Silver craze" by furnish
ing what was beyond all controversy an
adequate supply of gold for the trans
action of business" which, as the
Standard has pointed out, is an express
sion devoid of economic sense, for the
reason that it leaves the range of prices
out of consideration.
Now we are gravely assured that the
suspended production of the Transvaal
mines will create no pressure, because
the supply is so much larger than it
was few years since. This is utterly
illogical In order to make it sound
two things would have to be shown:
First, that we had plenty of money at
the earlier period referred to, and sec
ond, that what would have been suffi-
Gent then is sufficient now.
In this, as in all other attempts of
the gold men to consider the quantita-
tive principle, they fall into the error of
only looking at one side of the equa-
ton, namely the money side They
assume that if the supply of money has
| been maintained or increased, there
| must necessarily be enough, leaving en-
| tirely out of view the fact that the
demand for money may have doubled
or trebled or quadrupled during the
| same time.
And yet it is perfectly clear that the
demand for gold is enormously increas-
ing all over the world where it is used
as money. 1t is equally clear that not
Withstanding the great increase of gold
during the last three or four years. the
monetary situation is decidedly delicate
all over the commercial world. Not
| only are those countries that are trying
to get squarely upon the gold standard
| increasing their efforts in that drec-
| ton, but the tremendous increase of
| business at a somewhat higher range
of prices makes a corresponding in
crease of money necessary in order to
effect the exchanges without a slump
in the prices.

THEY ALL HAD A HIGH OLD TINE

In the republican Chicago Inter Ocean
appears this racy description of the re-
cent Mckinley reception at Chicago.
1t is what was told by a member of the
presidents party, after the return home,
to the Inter Oceans Washington corre-
spondent:
II never saw greater hospitality and
worse management Everybody wanted to
help entertain the president, and was
not willing to delegate that authority to
anybody else. The result was no man
agement and suffering for everyone in
the presidents party. The reception COM
mittee which met the party at Joliet had
not agreed upon their plans for the presi-
dents entertainment that evening. They
disagreed, and quarreled, and almost
fought after they came on the presidents
special train.
Those representing the Marquette club
insisted that the president should attend
the club banquet and those representing
the bicycle parade wanted him to review
the cyclers.
"They seemed to be unconscious that
they were trespassing on the presidents
privacy in boarding his train so as to
make all his guests most uncomfortable,
for the train was more like an ordinary
excursion train than a private special.
after the committees came on board.
There were so many of them, and they
were Indifferent to the comfort and pleas
ure Of the president in quarreling among
themselves in his presence as to what he
should do.
"When the train pulled into the station
there was an immense crowd, and a great
ovation. but it was worth a mans life to
go out to meet this hospitality. The police
were nowerless and Indifferent. They
seemed to think they were there to help
welcome the president. rather than to
protect him. We stepped off the train into
a mob--it was nothing else, though COM
posed of the best citizens of Chicago. for
there was no management The president
stepped down from his car and was swal-
lowed up in the crowd, swept away from
his party. Secretary Hay tried to reach
the presidents side and was treated by
the police as though he were an assassin
trying to murder the chief executive.
"a big policeman grabbed the secretary
of state, pushed him back, knocked off
his silk hat and gave him a general
shaking UP.

self, and the crowd took them all. They
