LATE STYLES IN CREEDS.

The Presbyterians are holding a
great council to discuss the revision
OF the creed. This is causing more
or less comment, and many laymen
are asking why religions are phable
and why creeds, if correct, should
not remain interchangeable as the
seasons; and, if found fallacious.
what assurance can there be that the
new adoption is more reliable than
was the discarded. That is for
churchmen to answer and not for the
newspaper which does not care to
discuss subject that would lead it
into the dangerous and boundless
fields of religious differences of
opinion. Though not frequent
revision of creeds and denominational
doctrines are by no means unknown

WATCH THE GIANT.

James j. Hill, of the Great North

the Salt Lake Tribune regarding the
possibilities of controlling traffic on
the high seas. He say:
The fight is on the high seas. The
great traffic contest is between the Paci-
nc on the one hand and the Suez canal
and Cape Horn on the other
1t is not fight between this section ar

A short time since the SIGNAL gave
very convincing reasons why a fork
of Mr. Hills road, extending from
Montana to San Francisco, could be

statement made above by Hill is IN

made struck very close to the plans
formulating in the mind of the Trans
portation Titan of the Northwest.

commerce of the Pacific ocean" may
appear to be a general inclusion of
commercial interests of the country,

Mr.. Bryan insists that he will not stand
for denomination for president in 1904,
but demands that the race of the Demo
cratic party be made on his Chicago and
Kansas City platforms. That will not
be. The events between this date and
convention time in that year will give
shape to the platform Mr.. Bryan has
been twice nominated and twice defeated
on his platforms and it Will be unjust to
the nominee and to the party to attempt
what seems plain to everybody i'm
possible. -Blackfoot News
By the same logic every issue that

Gated measure that il has not been
at some period defeated on. AS demo
cratic tariff planks have been defeat
ed oftener than they have succeeded;
as the democratic tariff policy has
met defeat more often than its money
policy, the tariff should be abandoned
according to the reasoning of the
News. There are a large number
of honest men in the democratic
party and any abandonment Of the
Chicago platform will call forth
very dark day, and it will insure
continued success of the party in

If that is all the representative of
