Prominent republicans who have
returned TO Washington since the
Chicago convention, express the ut
most satisfaction with the political
attitude of the West. Senator For
aker, OF Ohio, says that everything is
calm, confident and prosperous in the
great middle western states. He says
the sentiment is overwhelming for
Roosevelt, and he predicts large
republican majority in Indiana and
Wisconsin. Senator Dick says: 81
am unable to see how the democratic
party has even the ghost of a chance
to win. One reason why there will be
no democratic victory is the eminent
success of the administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and the fact that the
people have not forgotten the last
democratic administration"

This famous organization wss recruited
in Bangor, Aug. 81, 1852, and sustained
the highest percentage OF men lost, either

1t is denied that there is any poll
tics in the recent strikes, or that any
action the President may have taken
has anything to do with current labor
troubles. The fact that the packing
house magnates and their striking en-
ployees are willing to arbitrate their
differences is proof that the trouble is
non-partizan. Nor is il at all probable,
as has been stated, that the President
has issued orders through the depart
ment of justice that the injunction
case against the beef packers must be
taken up by the supreme court imme-
diately after converting for the Oeto-
Der term. The President cannot issue
such orders. Thecourt is a co-ordl-
nate branch of the government, and
attends to its business according TO its
own rules, without pressure from any
source. Il is as independent OF the
executive as the executive is of it.

FAvoRs METHODIST time LIMIT
Dr.. Halleron, Presiding Elder, Talks to Min
listers About It.

The Methodist Preachers Meeting. at No. 80
Fif;h-ave. discussed yesterday the time limit.
For long time Methodist preachers could remain
IA ore pastorate three years at most. Then the
limit was Increased to i've years The last General
Conference removed IL entirely. The Rev Dr. pan
lei HaIIeron. Of Newark. presiding elder OF the
Elizabeth district. gave his reasons yesterday Tor
opposing the repeal OF the time limit saying in
part:
Itinerancy limited proved phenomenal success
IN the history OF the Methodist Church. The limit
secures 4 rounded. symmetrical church develop
rnent. Some c!5rgymen are born evanSelsts. some
Ike prophets; others are reiy tstciiitI
The objection has heen urged that having the limit
prevents the building ny OF great city Churches
such those presided over 10y Beecher or by John
FaW or Talrnagc. But is this really an unfn- Ned
ryii2 Small churches afford greater opportu Ties
for devoted Christian work than large churches.
Again. without a limit. when minister moves
Il Is FOR cause With the limit. he moves because
II is INC law and there is less OF heart bruisng.
The removal OF the time limit also. means an early
dead lire for the ministry.
Most OF those who took part IN the discussion
we're opposed to DIT. HaIerons views. They were
approved however. by Dr. J. A. Wensey OF PateT-
SON Dr. J. l. Boswell the Rev /. ". Caswen and
