THE USE OF oHURCHEs.

In the course of an able sermon Sunday evening at Trinity church be- fore the members and friends of the Yale Berkeley Association Bishop Me- Vickar of Rhode Island said Beside the class of people who are ever re- gretting the past, there is another class equally to be deplored That is the class which goes to church every Sunday and then forgets it during the week The churches may as well be torn down as have this happen"
 Bishop McVickar is right in classi- lying those who confine their reli- gious fervor to the first day in the week as deplorable but would 1t not be better to include in the consideration of the general subject involved the ter rible loss enumerated in the locking of church doors except on Sundays and especial occasions? The charge has been brought against the churches that they are really more responsible for the uses to which church buildings are put than the pewholders, and there is something to be said upon that side of the subject. A locked church repre- sents waste.
 There is an intelligent movement in this city to increase the usefulness of school buildings. Should 1t not be &C., companied by movement to make the church buildings more useful? There would appear to be judgment in both movements.

One of the Political Guesscs.
(New York world.)

CNew York World.)
 If Mfr Roosevelt is rehominated, the solitary hope of Democratic success lies in a new man and new platform The party must bury It's dead past and it's dead issues and emanclpate itself from It's populistic present With a new, clean, strong man who could reunite the factions and appeal on new, clean, strong platform to the enormous inde- pendent and disaffected Republican vote, Democracy might, in our opinion, have chance. If hard times con tinued, if large numbers of men were iout of employment, If public works ard private enterprise were suspended and general prosperity were waning if not gone, tho Democratic party with such @ candidste and such a platform would undoubtedly stand chance . But will the Democratic party recov- Ter sanity enough to put Mir. Bryan aside? This is the first step-the first requisite.

AN 4ppRoTED DECISION

The judge in Illinois who has refused to enjoin football, the application be- ing based on the claim that football is prizefghting, and who added that boards of education have no control over the amusements of school children after school hours, has made himself solid with the boys who know that football isn't exactly prizefghting and who want to have their own fun out of school hours. He has also com mended himself to many of the elders who believe that boys will be boys and ought to be. Furthermore, 1t is good guessing that the strenuous President of the United States has said to him. self, if to nobody else, that that judge knows what's what
 These are not the good old times and the rough old times when 1t was con- sidered fun to be gladiator, or to 1oust, but the boys are not mollycod- dles yet, and they show no signs of becoming so. Football is not prizefight- ing, but 1t does give a healthy and hearty boy opportunities to work out his love of high endeavor.

The first Chinese school of forestry will soon be opened at Moukden. The Chinese Empire is usually pointed out as the worst example among modern nations of forest destruction. The floods which are periodically poured down from the denuded mountains are destructive beyond comparison with any other country, and the want of forests is assigned as the chief cause. Wood is scarcer in China than in almost any other region in the world although the country is well adapted to the growing of trees. In the establishment of forest school the Chinese government gives evid- ence that it realizes the need of be- ginning it's reforestation in scientific manner.

TIE pEsrR uCrIYE RAT.

We have been too busy making money in this country to pay much attention to preventing waste, but now that times have changed perhaps 1t will be worth our while to look out for some of the waste. We might even initiate the economical Danes and make campaign on the busy and de- structive rats which now live happily and fatty on our foolishness. After discovering that rats in Denmark were gnawing up more than $2,0oO,OOO of stored wealth every year, society of Danish reformers became active, and now the Danish government Is enlist ed in a wholesale war on the rapacious rodents. Under a newly enacted law the government undertakes to spend $S0OO annually for three years end compels the country and borough coun- clls to spend S1 cents year for each 100 inhabitants, on the society having given the undertaking that they will spend at least s2,5OO each year in an organized campaign of exterminatlon In return for this expenditure the so- ciety is intrusted with the entire work ing of the act.
 They have begun to fight rats out in Seattle because 1t Is believed that they spread the bubonic plague. There arc several good reasons for an anti-rat campaign throughout the world, and there may yet be one.

GET RICH QUICK.

Schemes of this class have again
come to grief along with the gullible
investors, causing serious loss to
innocent business concerns, as is
always the case of panics in Wall St.
While this last lesson is yet fresh
in mind, it is an opportune moment
to consider causes and means to
avoid like trouble in the future.
Direct your attention to that
greatest of all Newspapers the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. From its columns
one can readily detect the trend of
currency, its lodging places, by
whom handled, uses made of it, and
final results.
Again you read quotations of
Bonds, Stocks, and Securities of
every nature, fixing Status of all
business from the retailer, to United
States Government.
Also Current News, facts and re-
liable data covering the entire world;
all sufficiently explicit to enable
thinking people to avoid snags and
follow the channel of success.
It's extra size and high price, is
the secret of its ability to discover,
obtain, print and serve its patrons
with all the news, and cater to wants
of people in every calling of life.
The Weekly Enquirer for the
year 1908 has greatly increased its
Clubbing offers which now include
the most select and popular pub
lications of the day at prices slightly
over half the regular Subscription
rates.
Do not overlook the fact that the
year 1908 promises to excel in pros
perity any of the past, and that
the Enquirer printed at Cincinnati,
Ohio, is one of the most reliabls
sources of information.
