lives He is Just as much In the world
today as He was in Bible times. We have
become more content with the things of
this world. but God has not left this world.
1t all depends upon what we are looking
for in this world. The world is made up of
exactly what we are looking for If we
want pleasure. we can find 1t. There is
more joy than sadness in life, and If We
look for joy we can have 1t. II we go out
into the world and look for God we can
find Him.
Some men in these days are trying to
prove that God does not need to be in the
world. There is beauty in the world about
you. according as there is beauty in your
self. You must take to a service exactly
what you expect to bring out. You can al
ways find something to criticise if you come
to criticise.

people of Washington in condemnation of
the greatest evil that now confronts the
American people.
1.-THE enormous combinations and con-
spiracies in restraint of trade and COM
merce which have grown up in this coun-
try during recent years are injurious to
both capital and labor, and a menace to the
government itself. That competition is the
life of trade is maxim the truth of which
has until very recently been admitted
Upon that principle our industries have
been built up and our great resources de-
veloped.
Our protective tariff was advocated and
enacted into law upon the positive assuI
ance and promise that 1t would stimulate
competition in our manufacturing indus
tries. create greater demand for labor.
insure better wages for laborers and also
reduce the prices of manufactured products
to consumers.
Competition was ultimately to compen-
safe for all the burdens which protection
might impose for a time. But when stimu-
lated, competition had almost accomplished
Its alleged object and the consumers of the
country were looking for and anxiously ex-
pecting a reduction n the prices of manu-
featured products the beneficiaries of the
protective tariff entered into combinations
and conspiracie for the purpose of limiting
production, increasing the price of their
products and greatly enhancing their in
dividual profits.
Their unlawful combinations s.ifed all
competition and high tariffs on foreign
to be paid for both the raw material which
they bought and the finished products
which they sold. Hence. the trusts have
robbed the people of all the benefits which
were promised them by the advocates of
the protective system a result of the
protective tariffs.
This control of the home market is
made possible and effective by the protec-
ton afforded by our tariff laws. Protection
protects the trusts. Any remedy for the
trust EVIL that does not contemplate a re-
ducton of the tariff and the abolition of all
duties that merely shelter and promote
monopoly will prove delusve and ineffec-
prisonment upon those who may be guilty
of trust practices. and authorizing injunc-
lions to prevent Illegal combinations in re-
straint of trade and commerce, such as the
Sherman antitrust law, is all very well as
far as 1t goes. but since that law was
passed nearly all the trusts in the country
have been formed. and under it they are
an alarming rate.
THE only way to effectually suppress
trust practices Is to tear down the tariff
wall that protects the trusts and make their
p'ratical practices possible"
Resolutions were adopted urging a ma
tional convention in this city in June 1904
to adopt a declaration of first principles on
the trust question, and. If expedient, to
nominate candidate for President and de-
clarng that William r. Hearst of New
York, by reason of his attitude toward the
trusts, is man pre-eminently worthy to be
the peoples choice President of the
United States.

Matthew 5S: Blessed are the pure in

Nearly every sentence of the New Tes-
lament" said Mr.. Rider. touches your life
at some point, either where you now live
or will live or in an experience you have
had. God states principles which. If we
had in our lives would make our lives more
beautiful. There never has been a time
when men did not believe in God. No two
of us have the same conception of God.
Each one of us has definite conception of
what God is and what God is In the world
about US. yet none of us has seen him with
our human eye. We are not satisfied with
anything less than definite vision of God
something more tangible than mere vague
something We are all trying to serve God
and are striving to see Him. We who are
after pictures and idols Of God want to see
Him and are not satisfied with mere theory.
I'VE want to see God. for mere curiosity,
perhaps. He can be seen by every one of
us. He may be seen by us now. There
are certain times In our lives when we are
anxious to see His face-times of difficulty.
When great trouble comes and we can't
master the whole thing we wish He would
reveal Himself to us. We are all after
God. When God seems farthest away from
us 1t is not that God Is removed from US,
but that we have shut Him out Of our

either the management of the
city-owned industry, or the private
activities OF the citizen, or both, must
suffer TO a greater or less extent, each
case reacting upon the individual in
many ways. Because Of liability to
corrupt methods and the general d.
yersity OF interests, some proper and
some improper, it is an unsafe course
TO pursue. The payment Of a public
debt is a very difficult performance in
any case and when the taxpayers are
impeded In their efforts by having the
added duty Of the management of an

1t is further still more difficult when
other attendant evils, as shown in
preceding paragraphs, affect them.
AS a last word, it may be said
that m nieipal ownership Of any kind
is a social retrogreSsion and should be
avoided as such The quotation from
Spencer's Principles CT Ethics may be
given again: "Ali embracing state

type; and progress to a higher social
