GOSSIP FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Greatest Criticism Of President Is
Heard in Washington-CityF Full
of Grun1blerS.

WASHINGTON.-The good old Biblical say
ing that "a prophet is not without honor in
his own country might be paraphrased into "a
president is not unpopular save in Washington"
1t is the fate of every chief executive to be crit
icised and to become unpopular in the capital
city. None in recent years has escaped this fate.
Even the sainted Mckinley had his critics here
at the seat of the government, and his popularity
was much greater beyong the confines of the
District of Columbia than within them Presi-
dent Roosevelt is simply on the same plane with
his predecessors, and there few places in the
country where less enthusiasm is shown over
him than right here among the people who see
him and know of him every day.
1t is perfectly natural that the greatest crit
icism of a president should be in Washington.
AS chief executive he has to act for the whole

The agricultural department has done good
deal in the way of improving the breeds Of
horses and CATTLE destroying the mosquitoes,
making two blades of grass to grow where ons
grew before, and achieving success along lines
that calculated to benefit the whole country
but now there is proposition foot that
throws all the governmental experiments of the
past in the shade. Prof Willis M. Hayes as
sistant secretary of the department, has scheme
to improve the human race by the careful selec-

that has attended the breeding of animals has
called attention to principles that Prof. Hayes
thinks can be usefully applied of course in law

Great Progress In Church Extension
Work In North
Dakota.
Valley City, Oct. IA. . Friday even.
ing the church expansion anniversary y
was held presided over by Rev. G. M.
Moore of the Minot district. He said
that North Dakota has contributed
to the church extension SO, ,9Ol and
the board has donated outright to
the state during the same period
s35, ,90l and have loaned $40, 780. One
hundred and forty-six churches have
been aided. -.
Mr.. Boswell told of the work on
the frontiers. In, Alaska there are
four men, one Of whom is 300 miles
from the nearest church, the next
man is 700 from him, the third 1000
from him and the last one, 1900
miles away from the last. Alaska,
the west and the great cities, are the
field of the church extension. The
reports Of the presiding elders of the
three districts we're read at the morn
ing's session and proved to be very
encouraging to the members of the
conference. Those of s A. Daford Of
the Fargo district and NJ. P. Burns
Of the Grand Forks district, while
they showed wonderful growth in
membership and church and parson-
age building and benevolences, J. g..
Moore OF the new Minot district,
brought down the house. His report
was q romance, scarcely being credit
able that towns and churches should
spring into existence In single year
In the manne: described.
-Four years ago IA churches In the
district were mortgaged to the Board
Of Church Extension. In some in
stances the amount Of interest ex-
ceeded the original loan. In some
cases ATTORNEYS were employed to
iorelcose on the property. At present
the district owes loan fund but s5,-
600, and that is not due until Nov
ember. During the four years We
, have not borrowed dollar from the
board.
In the past two years % churches
have been dedicated and Is parson-
ages have been built In the district.
From Presiding Elder Danford's re-
port it is learned that revivals have
been held In nearly every charge IN
the district. Recent reports show
about 700 converts for the year. In
the membership we have, received
about 300 new probationers and 500
new members in full connection,
making q total increase In member
ship of over 1900.
About a300O were given for mis-
sions, being $1,000 more than last
year.

that he had measured up to the stan.
dard Of the ideal judge and had stood
for the enforcement of law in the
district, BY his fair and fearless con.
duct. he had become a terror Ito the
lawless elemeut of the district and
had brought order out of chaos. He
had made an excellent judge.
Judge Pollock's address dwelt on
the tendency towards lawlessness in
this country, our lack of respect for
the law he cuntrasted with the great
respect for it in Canada. He declar-
ed that the Americans high and low
are using their genius to defeat the
object of law which evil was being
combated throughout the whole
country. People living in city are
responsib for obedience to the law
