clearly the works and methods of the
Financial Department.
Secretary hampton is proving him
self a record-breaker in many ways.
1t was he, who inaugurated the system
of paying the salaries of bishops and
other officers of the church, promptly
and of looking after other business
obligations of the church in business
like way. He has also originated the
idea of a communication direct with
every official department of the church,
from the class leader to the bishop,
and in addition to his work as secre-
tary, he took the field himself, and
raised s3,365.5O of dollar money.
The meeting of the Financial Board
at Chicago was pleasant one and
the outlook for the church was never
brighter All of the members of this
board, including a number of visiting
bishops and officers of the church, left
the city for Chicago early this week.

not be any God or anything out mere

way as to cause suffering anu want

George has shown to me new light.
He has set forth in the clearesi and

monstrous idea in the minds OF de-
voices. But the truth is daWning
tslowly, but none the less surety that
such is not true, and that it has been
told only to deceive.
The doctrine that "The poor We have
always with YOU" constituting that doc
trine as decree of the all-fIthcr. is
a blasphemOus doctrine. IL has drlv-

moment of their commission. She can
not be denied The commission OF
every act adds to or detracts from the
building of character, and character is
life. 1t is character that makes per-
petual life wholly desirable. There is
no postponement.
i In the last analysis the philosophy
OF Henry George is simply demand
that the folly of man be superseded by
the wisdom of God. That if man would
but remove his grip, fortified by stat
ute law, then natural law would freely
operate to bring peace and plenty and
happiness into the world.

HANGING FOR ALL
is THE VERDICT.
Car Barn Bandits Are Convicted
of Murder In the First
Degree.

Chicago, March 14-Hanging for
all was the verdict of the jury in the
first murder case against the So
called "car barn bandits, Harvey
Van Dine, Peter Neldermeier and
Gustav Marx, who attained noto-
riety by desperate all-day battle
that started in "dug-out" near
Liverpool, Ind, where the trio had
taken refuge after series of re-
markable crimes, including the mur-
der OF two employees of the Chicago
City Railway at one OF the com
pany's barns in this city, the motive
in each instant being robbery.
The bandits heard their doom
stolidly. The mother of Van Dine
was in the court room. Neider-
meier's mother was also present.
Neither woman made an outcry.
The mother of Marx did not appear.
She was said to be at home ia a state
bordering on collapse.
The verdict of the jury was de-
layed on account of a temporary
division of opinion as to making the
punishment alike for all the defend
ants. Contrary to the general
belief it was Van Dimes fate, not
that of Marx, that caused the delay
in arriving at decision.
Emil Roeski, who was with the
bandits in the dug-out and who par
ticipated in many of their crimes, is
to be tried separately, not having
been implicated directly in that par
ticular murder for which his asso-
ciates were first arraigned,
The trial of these bandits has been
long and sensational, and it is said
that the cost to the state will ap.
proximate 100000.

The Weight Of a Million Dollars


A practical idea of what million
dollars means was given few days
ago, says the Seattle Times, when
one of Chicago's big banks moved
into its new building adjacent to the
old one. There was little matter
of $4,000, 600 in cash among the
moveables. About half the cash was
in gold coin and the nest In silver
and bank notes. How should the
cash be moved?
At first thought, one might say
put it in sacks and carry it to the
new building. But that is not the
way the transfer was accomplished
AS the first step in the removal of
cash from the old vaults to the new
ones tunnel was cut connecting
the buildings by passage far below
the ground surface. Five hundred
bank employees. detectives and po-
licemen guarded the operation OF
removal. The money was encased
in iropebound trunks and was
wheeled through the tunnel More
than thousand eyes were on those
trunks from the moment they left
the the old vaults until they were
deposited in the new ones.
What was the weight OF all those
trunks2 The So, 900, ,OOO--s5, $40 and
$40 pieces weighed fifteen tons, and
the bank notes filed large number
OF trunks. One million dollars in
the form Of gold coin would weigh
well over two tons,
