the able and popular officers and bust

Accompanying Mr. Clark are two
courteous supreme deputies, Messrs.
Edwards and Richardson. The gentle
men have charge of the organizing
work OF this section, and for ,is
purpose have located in our city with
permanent quarters at the Banks.
Probably the Indian Territory head

THE PULPIT OF TO-DAY.

The modern pulpit is fast departing
from the preaching of the old theo.o-
gy and the controverted doctrines out
OF which the sects have sprung. The
masses OF the people were so weary
Of that kind OF preaching tbat the
wide-awake men In the pulpit few
years ago began 70 discuss live top
les affecting personal and public char
acter instead OF theology and set to
talking directly against common evils.
public and private. The step from
that departure to a broader view of
Christian teaching was an easy one.
From denouncing such men as Hux-
ley and Darwin and Ingersoil. they
began to accept what truths such men
taught. and to feel the influence OF
their broad minds on applied Chris.
tianity. The result has been crafty.
ing Instead OF listening to a lurld
description Of a literal hell OF fire and
birthstone. or hearing hos Just God

who can not swallow creed. or

people are now taught how to live.
how to love. how to do good, how TO
make clean city or a godly state.
They are hearing sermons on char
ity. and benevolence. and the educa-
ton of the heather. and purity in pol
itics, and honesty In a "hoss-trade."
Some preachers are little timid about
what they say on live questions but
very few Of them are willing TO bore
a congregation with what the old
school used TO call 'doctrinal ser.
mons. They still preach sound doc
trine. but there are few debates. few
great doctrinal demonstrations, such
as formerly stirred the towns and di.
vided the Christian people Here and
there one may meet a preacher con
tending earnestly for the faith once
delivered TO the saints" but he looks
lonesome and discouraged II he
draws a crowd It is by the use Of some
style or manner OF speech that is
novel enough to be interesting The
people are not interested in mere doc
trinal preaching.
The average church is more and
more approaching the ideal of a place
of worship and good fellowship. The
sermon is incidental 20 the Worship
not the main attraction; and so ii
ought to be. And yet the sermon is
expected and listened TO, in the hope
OF inspiration for the duties and cares
and joys and purposes of the wor-
shipper. The preacher who seeks least
to defend peculiar doctrines and
strives hardest to help men and wo-
men bear their burdens and get the
best out of life, is the popular
preacher. because he is more in har-
mony with the intent and purpose of
the great book from which he preach.

SOME ITEMS OF INTEREST

respondent.
SOME ITEMS OF INTEREST

People who have been listening
for the first trust to bust will
probably be satisfied with the re-
port made by the Northern Secur-
tiles decision.
The republican party can not but
endorse Secretary Roots statement
that the tariff should be revised
by Congress which is not playing
politics. The political temptations
incident to- a session Immediately
preceding a national election would
prove detrimental to careful and
equitable revision.
Minnesota, the largest ship ever
built in the United States, is about
to be launched. She will be $50
feet long, Sc feet from keel to upper
deck, (nearly the height of a five
story building) and have breadth
of 70 feet inches Her total cargo
capacity will be 10000 tons dead
weight She is designed with
especial facilities for transporting
troops.
When Mr. Morgan has finished
his $500, 900 home, will Mr.. Carnegie
give him few books to put in it?
A system of organized Kissing
is advocated by a French statesman
as a means of purifying the stage
of his country. But after it is prop
erly purified will it pay? 1t is the
combination of the smutique with
the damatique that makes plays &C
in France.
Attorney General Knox has de-
monstrated, beyond question, his
sincerity in prosecuting trusts fo1
violation of the law. incidentally
Mr.. Knox has taken the wind out oil
a good many democratic editors. I
The nations drink bill, 81, 800, OOO,-

member of the Royal society of
Russia and has received a special
degree from the University of Toxic
He has also received medals from
the Royal Astronomical society of
Great Britain, and the University
of Leyden.
Representative Livingston of
Georgia says the most important
issue at the next session of Congress
will be a more elastic currency.
For once the democratic representa-
tive is correct, as is proven by the
fact that the republican leaders of
the Senate are already engaged in
preparing financial bill which will
be introduced on the first day of the
session.
The Attorney General expects
that the Supreme Court will take up
the Northern Securities case early
in October. The whole expedition
which has recently attended this
case is due to the little hurry up'
law which Mr.. Knox drafted and
which Congress passed at his behest.
The United States Geological Sur
vey continues to turn out topo-
graphic maps of different parts of
the country which are the admira-
ton and wonder of the world.
And now the democrats are dis
cussing the advisa bitity of nominal
ing Carter Harrison and William r.
Hearst as their presidential ticket.
Let us hope that they may. It
would be such an easy ticket to de-
feat.
President Roosevelt left orders to
push the Postoffice Department in
designations with unabated vigor
and then went away to the wilds of
the Yellowstone. Meanwhile the
politicians are frothing at the mouth.
When the President has cleaned
out the Postofice department it
might be well to cause an inquiry
into the occasion for the numerous
accidents which have recently oc-
cured in the navy.
By the time the democratic
leaders" have concluded the bust
ness of reading each other out of the
party genuine democrats will be as
rare as grandfather clocks.
In 1902 this country was the larg-
est exporter of domestic merchan-
disc in the world, while in 1870 it's
exports were exceeded by three
other nations, France, Germany and
the United Kingdom. In favorable
balance of trade the United States
exceeds all the countries of the world
combined. Under such conditions
the democratic hue and cry against
the protective policy will find little
favor.
