CHURCH PLANS ACCEPTED.
Bids for the NJ. 3. Church, South, Will
Be Taken Up to Friday, Oct IL
Description Of the Pro
posed Building.

The executive committee Of the
building committee for the proposed
new NJ. Q. Church, South, met Thurs
day night and accepted the new set Of
plans for the ediflce. 1t was decided
to take bids for the construction up
to Friday, October IL, when the con-
tract will be let.
The new church building will be an
innovation in the usual church; 1t win
be entirely different and promises to
be the most beautiful building of its
kind in Central Missouri.
The ground plan will cover 1l4x7l
feet 8 inches and will face north, the
long side of the building resting on
Promenade street.
The building, above the ground
work, which will be in stone, will be
of red or grey brick and the class of
architecture will be the Italian Rem
naissance.
There will be no steeples or heigh
towers at the corners Of the building;
the highest point to the church being
an immense dome, the top Of which
will be 45 feet from the ground.
The main entrance to the church
will be at the north side and nearer
the east than the west end. The stone
steps leading TO the loggia, or open
yestIbule, will be 20 feet in width and
the three arches at the entrance will
be supported by five columns. On
either side of the loggia will be yesti-
bules from which entrance to the
main auditorium may be made.
This auditorium, which will be at
at the extreme east end of the build
ing, will be 4sx64 feet and will seat
800 people; the room will be surmount-
ed by the dome.
The seating plan will be especially
attractive as the plan will be on the
"bowl" plan; sloping from all direc-
tions TO the kneeling board in front
Of the chancel, back Of which win be
the pulpit. Back of and above the
pulpit will be the organ loft, 4Ox1S
feet.
Between the main auditorium and
the Sunday School room to the west
will be railing partitions. The Sum
day School room will be surrounded
on the south, west and north by class
rooms, a library and ladies' parlors.
The library, 16xl6 feet, will be at
the south; five class rooms about the
same size In the intermediate circle
between the library and the ladies'
parlors on the north.
To the Sunday School room there
will be separate front entrance.
Nearly all OF these rooms may be
thrown into one grand auditorium. In
the rear win be lavaratories.
In the basement and under the organ
loft will be the PASTORS study and
choir room; the other portions Of the
basement will be taken up with coal
and furnace rooms
The church is TO be built Of brick
with terra Gotta trimmings. The roof
win be Of slate.

The Republican party is going to be
divided on the question Of tariff. A
large portion Of the party is in favor
of stealing the Democratic doctrine
along that line. Referring to this
matter the New York World editorial
ly says:
There are already evidences that the
Republican party will be more serious
ly divided upon the question Of re-
ciprocity and freer trade than il has
been upon any other issue in many
years.
/ President McKlnley's carefully pre-
pared and very able speech at Buffalo
committed his administration strongly
to both these propositions. "The
period of exclusiveness is past, . he pro.
claimed. Reciprocity treaties are in
harmony with the spirit of the times;
measures Of retaliation are not" And
he boldly went further, asking:
''If perchance some Of our tariffs are
no longer needed for revenue or to en-
courage and protect our industries at
home, why should they not be employ
ed to extend and promote our markets
abroad?p
Mr.. Roosevelt had anticipated Mr..
Mckinley by three days in taking this
position. He said at Minneapolis on
Sept. 2: "We must remember in deal
ing with other nations that benefits
must be given when benefits are
sought. . And in addition to his pledge
to continue absolutely and without
variance the policy of President Nc
Kinley," President Roosevelt at
Buffalo outlined his policy as favoring:
"a more liberal and extensive re-
ciprocity in the purchase and sale of
commodities. The abolition entirely
of commercial war with other countries
and the adoption of reciprocity
treaties. The abolition of such tariffs
on foreign goods as are no longer need
ed for revenue, If such abolition can
be had without harm to our industries
and labor"
Against this just and liberal and
necessary policy the President will
find arrayed the great protected in
terests,n with their representatives in
the Senate and their agents in the
lobby. Already leading Republican
Senators have announced that they
will oppose the ratification Of re-
ciprocity treaties or any disturbance
Of the Dingley duties-eyen those
which protect monopolies that under
sell foreign competitors in the markets
Of the world and that charge home
consumers more than foreign custom
ers. They are in favor of reciprocity
as beautiful sentiment good for
speeches and platforms, but they are
opposed to it's application. They will
resist any ''letting down Of the bars. "
They will defend their monopolies.
And what will the President do?
Will he insist and persist? Judging by
his past-by his determined and sue
cessful fight for the franchise tax, OPP
posed by very much the same in
fluences-he will. Theodore Roosevelt
is not at all the kind of President who
is satisfied with dropping his recon-
mendations at the door of Congress
and leaving them to their fate. The
sessions Of the next Congress are likely
to be marked by a new irrepressible
conflict that will not be settled until
it is settled right.
