BAPTISTS.

We have been before the Bap-
lists of Tennessee for over fourteen
years AS editor of the Baptist and
Reflector. We have gone all over
the State speaking and preaching.
We have written repeatedly, and
in fact every week, on denomina-
tional and doctrinal questions. We
have fought the battles of Baptists
against the Complexities, Method
lists, Catholics, Mormons, liquor
dealers, the world, the flesh, and
the devil. The following little po-
EN- we'll expresses Jul sentiment:
I'd rather be a Baptist,
In faith and love and hope.
Than be a Catholic
And subject to the Pope.
I'd rather be a Baptist,
Aud with my Saviour go,
Than an E~piscopalian
With all his pomp and show.
I'd rather be a Baptist,
Rejoicing every hour,
Than a Presbyterian
And never feel the power.
I'd rather be, Baptist,
And veal a beaming face,
Than be a Methodist
And ever fall from grace.
I'd rather be a Baptist,
And know that | am right,
; Than to depend upon water,
And be a Campbellite.
lama Baptist, Baptist while live.
And Baptist till | die;
AID I'll be Baptist evermore
Throughout eternity.
Baptist and Reflector.

FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Republic Has Achieved Such Wide
 Popularity.

Established for nearly cen- tury and read regularly by more than 50O,000 persons in the west and southwest, the Twice-a-Week Republic of St. Louis can justly lay claim to that enviable dis tinction, "Favorite Home Pa per-"
 It is great because it has al- ways aimed to inform, instruct and entertain it's readers on all matters of public and home in terest. In 1904 it will be espe- cially interesting and valuable. Here are some reasons why you should subscribe for 1t:
 This is campaign year and you will want to be informed of the movements of party leaders, re- ports of the great national and state conventions, the progress of the campaign, reports of the election, etc.
 You will want to know all about the Worlds Fair, to be held in St. Louis from April 30 to December l, 1904.
 You will be interested in and kept well informed by the farm visitor, a regular supplement of the paper, prepared especially for the farmer and his family.
 You will want to know what the world is doing in every line of activity, and through the un- surpassed news and special ser vice of the twice-a-week Repub- lie you will not be disappointed.
 In short sketches, choice bits of fiction, articles of interest to women, children and household suggestions the Twice-a-Week Republic easily leads among the weeklies of the great West.
 If you want the Twice-a-Week Republic sent to your address, order it at once direct from the office at St. Louis, Mo-, or through your local newsletter. It costs only S1 a year.

It strengthens the nervous system, gives tone to the bodily func. tions, acts directly on the genital organs, and is the finest tonic for wo- men known to the science of medicine.

The Turnpike Era.

Between the years 100 and 1910 in
Vulnerable plans were made for the
creation of turnpikes in the United
States. There had been one great sue
cess, the Lancashire turnpike in Penn
sylvania, and then came countless 9TH
er projects In 1911 New York had 1877
chartered roads, with a total length of
1850 miles, and the sum required to
build them amounted to $7,500,0O0. An
era of canal digging and then Of rail-
road building followed this period, but
the canal promoters and railroad men
had great difficulty in advancing their
schemes They were considered insane
when they insisted that the mountains
and plains could be conquered by these
means Of transportation.

the soughing of the wind through the
trees, the scent of flower and meadow,
the myriad tints in earth and sky, in
ocean and forest, mountain and hill,
are just as important for the develop

he receives in the schools. If you take
no beauty into your life through the
eye or the ear your nature will be

PULITZER'S MISTAKE
He Does Not Understand the Attitude of
Parker.

Parker.
Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the
gathering of Democratic editors which
met and communed recently with the
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, but he wrote a letter, of which
this was the concluding paragraph:
ct is because 1 so strongly desire
Judge Parker's election that speak so
plainly on this subject. l earnestly
beg of you when you see him tomor-
row at Esopus, to urge that he accept
also the full responsibility of his posi-
ton; that he will not permit the cam
paign in New York-the pivotal state
to be mismanaged by the small poll
ticians who beset him."
"Besetv' '"Beset," indeed! Little
is Alton B. Parker "beset" by the
small politicians to whom Pulitzer al
ludes, those who have, for years, been
the vassals of David b. Hill or among
the operators for Tammany. Alton B.
Parker has been one of them himself.
Foxy political manager for Hill, who
repaid him by an appointment and
who, in the present year, has repaid
him further, he is not likely to be ''be-
set' by his own associates. Mr.. Pulit2-
er must be wandering in his mind. 1t
is upon those from whom he wishes
Mr.. Parker to dissociate himself that
Mr. Pulitzer depends for whatever
vote he may get in New York-Tam-
manyites and the Hill henchmen.
