"Hence it is that in the progress Of
civilization we must move along as
trade moves; and as the foreign mis-
sions move on it is through the for
eign missions that we must expect to
have the true picture of Christian
brotherhood presented to those natives,
the true spirit of Christian sympathy.
civilization, the immense Importance of
Christian missions. You go into China
to-day and try to find out what the con-
ditions are in the interior-consult in
Picking the gentlemen who are supposed
to know, and where do they go? They
go at once to the missionaries, to the
men who have spent their lives far adj
vanced into the nation, far beyond the
point of safety if any uprising takes
place, and who have learned by associa-
ton with the natives, by living with
them, by bringing them into their
houses, by helping them on to their
feet, who have learned the secret of
what Chinese life is.
''Now you can read books have
read them-in which the missions are
described as most comfortable build
ings; and it is said that missionaries
are living more luxuriously than they
would at home, and therefore they do
not call for our support or sympathy.
1t is true that there are good many
mission buildings that are handsome
buildings; l have seen them. 1t is
true that they are comfortable; but
they ought to be comfortable. One Of
the things that you have got to do with
the Oriental is to fill his eye with some
thing that he can see, and if you erect
great missionary building, he deems
your coming into that community of
some Importance. But it is not life
of ease: it is not a life of comfort and
luxury. These men are doing grand
good work. I do not mean to say that
there are not exceptions among them ;
that sometimes they do not meddle in
something which it would be better for
them from a polite move to keep out
of; but l mean as a whole, these mis-
sionaries in China and in other coun-
tries worthily represent the best Chris
tian spirit of this country"

CHRISTIAN MISSIONS
AND CIVILIZATION
Boxer War Not Caused by Inter-
ference of Missionaries.
Mr.. Taft Speaks on Subject OF
Missions from Personal
Experience.

William H. Taft believes in the ex-
tension of Christian missions, and that
the work of Christian Missionaries is
advancing civilization.
In an address delivered by him at
Carnegie Hall, New York City, April,
1908, among other things Mr.. Taft
said:
Until / went to the Orient, until
there were thrown on me the response
bilities with reference to the extension
of civilization in those far distant
lands, l did not realize the immense
Importance of foreign missions. The
truth is we have got to wake up in
this country. We are not all there is
in the world. There are lots beside us,
and there are lots of people besides us
that are entitled to our effort and our
money and our sacrifice to help them
on in the world. No man can study
the movement of modern civilization
from an utterly impartial standpoint
and not realize that Christianity and
the spirit of Christianity is the only

ton and the growth of popular self
government. The spirit of Christianity
is pure democracy. 1t is the equality
of man before God, the equality of man
before the law, which is, as I under
stand it, the most God-like manifesto
ton that man has been able to make
Religion and Political Government.
Il am talking practical facts about
the effect of religion on the political
government, and 1 know what 1 am
talking about. Connected with every
successful foreign mission is a school,
ordinarily an industrial school. Also
they teach the native that cleanliness
is next to Goodness and that one bust
ness of his is to keep himself healthy,
and so in connection with every good
and doctors. And, therefore, the mis-
sion makes a nucleus of modern civili-
.ation, with schools, teachers and physi-
clans and the church. In that way

1.-TWO or three things make one i'm
patient when he understands the facts.
One is this criticism of the missionaries
rs constantly involving the governments
in trouble, as contantly bringing about
war. The truth is that Western civili-
baton in trade is pressing into the
Orient and the agents that are sent
onward, I am sorry to say, are not the
1est representatives Of Western civili-
zation. It is not human nature that
hey should resist the temptations that
not infrequently present themselves to
ret ahead of the Oriental brother in
business transactions. They generally
re quite out of sympathy with spirit
# brotherhood toward the Oriental ma
ives. Even in the Philippines that
spirit is shown, for while 1 was there

been contributing to the gayety of tho

vescence, under the caption "My Con-
ception Of the Presidency" dilates on
the official notification ceremonies OF
the several presidential nominees with
a parody put into the mouth OF Col
onel Bryan which deserves to be en-
balmed. 1t is as follows:
Hon. Bryan say:
"a President should be like Hon,
Theodore Roosevelt only more so.
Malefactors, etc, needs not cringe or
from me for fearful that l will burn
up America when / am elected. Be-
cause l can't. A President are only a

Proof of Prosperity.

A striking proof of the recovery OF
the business interests of the country
from the effects of the financial panic
of 1907 is the simple statement recent
~ sent out as a news item from New
York City concerning The Trust Com
pany of America. The item states that
the trust company upon which a sen
sational run was precipitated during
the financial panic of 1907, has man
aged its business SO successfully as to
be able to pay off the loan of S25,-
100000 which it then effected, in its
entirety. The company in point of as
sets and liabilities was the second
largest in the country, and the run
which it successfully sustained exceed
ed any ever known in the history OF
america.

have grown obsolete since the enact
ment of the Dingley law. No rate cam
be made that will be the best forever,
as trade conditions change. The Ding
ley schedules have remained unaltered
longer than those of any other tariff
since the foundation Of the govern

lists among Protectionists as well az
old-time Free Traders that the law,
should be readjusted to the times Tho
practical question arises and confronts
the voter, What is the short road to
this desired result? In other words,
what is the practical course for the
citizen who regards revision of the
tariff as the important issue of the
hour-shall he vote for Bryan, or shall
he vote for Taft?
The answer is that the electors who
want tariff revision must vote for Taft
and Republican members of Congress,
for tariff revision at an early day is
possible only through the agency OF
the Republican party.
The Senate will be Republican no
matter which way the people vote next

letin of Providence, July II, contained
an article on Dr. Sullivan's attitude,
in which he said that besides being OPP
posed to Bryan he is not in favor Of
the principle of revision of the tariff
laid down in the Democratic platform.
DIR. Sullivan says that in future he will
act with the Republicans in national
matters.
A political sensation has been caused
in Iowa County, Iowa, by the announce
ment of j. NJ. Dover, a well-known
Democrat and former County Attorney,
that he cannot support Bryan, although
he did so in 1900. He put himself
strongly on record in favor of Taft in
long letter published in the Williams
burg Journal Tribune. "Mr. Taft is an
executive" said Mr.. Dover, "Mr. Bryan
an agitator. Mr.. Taft appeals to sober
judgment; Mr.. Bryan to sentiment"

about immediate independence of the

ImpracticabIe Methods.

The representative government that
has served us well for $50 years has
not been for Mr.. Bryan sufficiently ex-

must call upon fourteen million electors

realized that the game was under way.
Detroit filled the bases In the same
inning, but was presented from scor-
ing by Overall's mastery pitching. Nc
Intyre, the first man up, walked.
O'Leary famed. Crawford poked a
single to centre. Then Overall famed
the mighty Cobb. Rossman was tech
nically struck out. With three and
two" on him, Overall sent up a wild
pitch. Rossman purposely struck out
and beat the ball to first Schaefer,
the next man up. struck out. Techni-
callys h Chicago pitcher famed four
men In this inning.
The Cubs second run was scored in
the fifth inning. After O'Leary had
made a sensational catch Of Tinker's
line drive, Killing and Sheckard were
passed, and a two-base hit by that boy,
Evers, sent the Chicago catcher home.
Besides the first inning Jennings's men
had only n opportunity to break into
the run column. Coughlin opened the
fifth with a single over third. Dono-
van famed, but Mcintyre spanked a
two-bagger to right. With second and
third occupied, and one out, Detroit
was unable to score. O'Leary flied to
Hoffman. whose perfect throw held
Coughlin at third, and Overall put the
finishing touches to the inning by strik-
