Would 1t Be Fair to TeIi2

I look into my neighbours eyes And twist smile that's strangely
 grim. I'm thinking, Would he feel surprise To know just what think of him? I gaze into my dear friends face, And with this thought my soul is
 stirred: What revolution would take place Were l to tell her what I've heard stare into my mirror there With eyes that hunger to be true, And say aloud, Would it be fair To mention all know of you

 THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE

One of the most pronounced steps in the line of genuine reform to- ward protecting the rights of the people that has been taken recently is the move started by President Roosevelt and later recommended by the Interstate Commerce Con- mission, toward withdrawing all the coal and oil lands from the market and saving them for the people, to be owned and operated by the gov ernment.
 This is a practical way of having the government do for the people one thing which heretofore has been done by private corporations.
 Any one reasoning from cause to effect cannot help but see that this move is right in line and must in- evitably lead to the policy advocated by the New York Democracy during the great coal miners strike few years ago, for if it is deemed right and for the public good to reserve for the governments use all the public coal and oil lands now known to exist it would not be, under cer- tain conditions likely to arise, very far step to the idea that it would be for the public good that the government own and operate the coal and oil lands now controlled by private corporations known to be greedy, grasping monopolies.
 The Kansas City Times referring to this question, says:
 If there is one public utility that the government of the United States should control, by ownership or absolute regulation, it is national fuel supply. At the very least it should control enough of this supply to prevent the owners of the remain der from establishing monopoly or series of monopolies and holding the consumers at their mercy" Verify the world moves, and the unjust exactions of the private cor porations are forcing the people to think.

When all the trusts are busted, And the muck k-rake laid away; When all our laws are good ones And debtors always pay; When Rockefeller gives up Every cent he has to show That the billions all were got To save his fellow men from woe; When magazines are printed blank, Or publish only social news; What will the poor muck -rakers do To ventilate their views?

UNION Or CHURCHES.
4 Movement That Seems to Be Crow
ing In Favor.


The union Of the Cumberland Pres
byterian with the Northern Presby-
terian church. consummated at the
Presbyterian general assembly sitting
at Des Moines. furnishes concerto and
highly gratifying evidence Of the tend
ency toward interdenominauOnal unity
as a marked feature Of church life at
the present time.
The Cumberland Presbyterians have
never been a large body, their present
membership being somewhat less than
100000. but they are a highly intelli-
gent. liberal minded and progressive
rlass of believers. and their incopora-
ton in the Presbyterian church viii add
materially to the strength and prestige
of that denomination. This merger has
reduced the number of separate de-
nominations having the Presbyterian
form of government and the same basic
doctrines from twelve to eleven, and
the hope is entertained that further
consultations will take place soon.
a movement has been on foot for
some years toward a union between the
northern and southern Presbyterians,
who were severed before the civil war
on the slavery issue and who are kept
apart now by nothing apparently but
old preiudices and the antipathy to-
ward change which always obstructs
religious progress in any and all lines.
There are no apparent reasons better
than these why the Lutherans should
continue to be separated into twenty
two distinct bodies, the Baptists into
thirteen and Methodists into seventeen.
How large a waste of means and en-
ereies is entail pon the churches in
keeping up All iii, parate denomina-
tonal machines which these divisions
involve can hardly DE estimated, TO say
nothing Of the worse result in the eX-
ample set before the nonreligious world.
Economy and concentration OF force is
a lesson which the churches have been
slow 10 learn but happily a change for
the better in this respect seems now to
be at hand. Some believe that com
plctc drawing together Of the bodies in
the denominations mentioned will take
place dur ng the next twenty-five years.
