REMOVAL BEGUN.
"Dinkey" Railroad Across Capitol
Plaza Soon to Be No More.

The removal Of the tracks of the .'dinkey''
railroad across the Capitol grounds was be-
gun today by the Brennan Construction
Company. During the past two months
this railroad has been used to haul the dirt
excavated from the site of the new House
Of Representatives Office building to the
plaza in front Of the proposed new union
station building.
Col. John Biddle. engineer Commissioner.
in speaking today Of the "dinkey'' railroad.
said that its use has shown conclusively
that 1t Is much more satisfactory to use
this method In removing dirt from one part
of the city to another than to remove Il by
the employment Of wagons. BY the opera
ton OF the railroad, he stated. the dropping
OF dirt along the streets and the conse-;
Quent annoyance TO citizens has been
avoided.

Tariff on Philippine Products.
Secretary Taft renews the recommends
ton made by eX-Secretary Root and the
Philippine commission in favor of sub
stantial reduction of the present tariff upon
Philippine products imported into the
United States. He also urges that a bill
shall be adopted by Congress allowing the
admission, duty free, of all products of the
Philippine Islands, manufactured or other
wise, except tobacco and sugar, and that
there be imposed upon all importations of
sugar and tobacco a duty equal to % per
cent of the rates now imposed under the
Dingley law upon the importations from
foreign countries.
Secretary Taft says:
1.-THE political effect of letting the Phil
ippine products into the American market
on such basis as that proposed will be
of the utmost benefit in the islands. More
than this, it will furnish a justification for
that clause in the Philippine shipping bill,
which was passed last year, by which in
two years the coastwise laws are made to
apply to the trade between the United
States and the Philippine Islands so as to
require that all the trade shall be carried
on in American bottoms. Certainly it
would be most unjust if this encourage
ment to American trade is to continue in
force on the statute book and no corre-
spending compensation is to be made to the
Philippine Islands,.
The Philippine Scouts.
The Secretary pays high tribute to the
efficiency of the Philippine Scouts, and SAYS
1t is a wise policy by which there shall be
maintained in the Philippine Islands, as
long as the United States remains in con-
troll of them, small but well-trained Fill
Pine army. He says it is quite reasonable
in the Philippines. after the disastrous eff
feet of the cholera and the rinderpest and
the war shall be mitigated, the force of the
constabulary will be ample to maintain
order without the use of the scouts

WHY MEN ATTEND CHURCH.
Second in Rev. George B. Lawson's Sc
ries of Sermons on THE Young Men
and the Church."

Rev G. T.. Lawson preached the sec
ond of his series of sermons on THE
Young Man and the Church" in the Bap-
fist church sunday evening. The sub
ject was: "Why men should attend
church" and the texts We're Proverbs
NlI:S. and Luke WIG He referred to
the Christian sabbath as one of the fun
damentals i'm the making of our repub-
lie ana said that the example of Jesus
Christ was conclusive as to our duty.
Men should attend church regularly to
fllhl the idea of highest moral excellence
in the example of Jesus Christ. There
is a general misconception as to the ma
ture of the Christian church." he said
The church is not here for the pur-
pose of entertainment, although it does
much in this line The one great end is
to redeem mankind. The tendency of
the age is to teach the young, in the home
and in the schools. that the only thing
that counts is the thing that nets 4
good return, ana those VINO stay away
from church because the sermon is no
good and because the music is no good
are simply victims of a great spirit OF
the times.
Far too many men in the church are
there for selfish interests. The church
affords the very best society on the face
of the earth, but the man wac seeks it
for personal gain rather than to give
himself to it is a mean small and des-
picable man. The church is against
selhshness. as selhshness is the root of
all evil. Religion does not consist in
doing religions acts but i'm getting the
life of God into the file of man. and going
to church is a means to a higher end
Men should attend church regularly to
develop the highest elements of their
nature, to maintain a principal for the
government of their lives, and to more
perfectly do heir work in this world ana
toward their fellows. The man who STAYS
away from church is throwing mis- M
tuence on the side of doing away with
that time honored institution Of his faith
ers.
In closing the preacher urged men to
attend church IL order ri'' they might
leave the right kind of legacy to their
children.
