ONCE A CHURCH
NOW A STORE.
COMPANY. BECAUSE OF
RECENT FIRE, OCCUPIES OLD.
METHODIST EDIFICE.

Abba, June Sit is not in every
community the church gives way to
traffic in the almighty dollar. And
it is not every community in the state
of Iowa where church building that
has served as an attractive place for
the worshipers of Christ for two de-
nominations, can in night be turned
into a place of business. At Hooking,
in Monroe county, recent fire de-
stroyed the large company store of the
Hooking Supply company. In connec-
ton with the fire car of dynamite,
which was standing on siding of the
Iowa Central railway and near the
building, exploded and what was not
burned of the store building was
blown to the seven winds of heaven.
The next morning the building which
has been used for years and years as
church was turned into an up-to-date
and fully equipped business house. No
sooner had the store building been
leveled to the ground than the mana
gers literally took" the church edi-
fee and converted it to their secular
uses.
The church building has had a
career in Monroe county For twenty
five years it served as place of wor-
ship for the godly Christians of Abba
and vicinity. Then that congregation
grew more prosperous and when they
decided to build new and more cost.
ly building they. sold the old structure
to the Methodists who had organized
a small congregation at Hooking. The
building was torn down piece by piece
and while being moved to the new
location and when crossing high
bridge the steeple and ornamental
part of the building toppled from the
wagon and fell to the railway tracks
twenty feet below Traffic on the road
was delayed several hours until the
steeple could be removed. 1t was again
loaded into wagons and taken to Hook
ing.
The Methodists occupied the build
Ing for few years and the congre-
cation dwindled and then it was used
as meeting place for all the good
people of Hooking regardless of
affiliation. Then came the fire and ex.
plosion and every building except the
church in the little town was partially
destroyed. The church, however, was
not injured in the least and the
managers Of the supply company fell
upon it as the most available, and in
fact, the only available and whole
and safe building in the town where
they could resume their operations.
From the pulpit where for SO many
years the gospel Of Christ was preach
ed, the miners Of Hooking now secure
their daily supply Of meat At the
mourner's bench there Is profusion
OF vegetables. In the amen corner Is
an Office where the miners check their
accounts, not with Christ, but with
the bookkeeper who tells them Of their
worldly account with the company
store.

has the following as it's leader
editorial this afternoon:
If we may judge from letters
which come to us and from the
comment which everyone hears,
something like two or three
thousand hesitating voters must
be turned from Mr.. Taft every
time he expounds anew his pc
culiar doctrine about the Wilson
tariff and the panic of 1893. We
do notrecall any selection Of an
issue" by candidate in any
previous campaign so thoroughly
calculated to do a maximum of
harm to his political fortunes.
We can assure Mr.. Taft that for
every muddled-headed farmer
who might have been deluded
a hundred intelligent readers OF
his words along his natural sup
porters in other localities were
stirred to Indignation at them.

WE'D, OCT. 4. 1908.

Twelve years ago Mr.. Bryan
appeared as the leader of politi-
cal reform, demanding that pull
lie officials should have clean rec
ords and uncontaminated with
corporate interests, seeking spec
ial privileges through our Legls-
lative bodies. The battle was
lost. Four years later he was
Z again leader in the same tight
with a similar result, but not
withstanding two defeats he kept
the faith, and so impressed the
people that President Roosevelt
sought popularity and party pres
tige by leaving his party pledges
to make a grand stand play as an
original and powerful political
purifier. Drifting from the poll
CIV of his party, pursuing an I'M
mapped course in the hollow pre-
tense of publication, the big
stick" policy reached its zenith,
and Mr.. Roosevelt was apparent
", Gear of all the Russians. !"
With his powerful political ma
chine he dictated the policy. OF
his party, and named its candl-
date in the present contest. and
his mistake is now the heaviest
load of his life. Mr.. Taft is not
magnetic. he is not in warm SYM
patty with the true and broad
spirit of reform. He is doubted
by manyss Of his own political
faith, and is cramped by the ex-
igencies arising from conditions
fathered and fostered by the Re-
pulican party In the meantime
Mr.. BRYAN has grown in public
confidence and. beyond doubt is
entitled to the support OF every
man who believesFin better pollt-
ical living, who desires equal
rights for all and special prlvi-
liges for none. He is the cham
pion of the issues born out OF
twelve years of unceasing war
fare and comes before the Amer
lean people without spot or blem-
ish. a record a life consistent
with the doctrines he preached
and for which his party is truly
and honestly pledged. Mr.. Bry-
an is the pioneer, the man who
at heart, desires to bring into
operation the policies and prin-
ciples that will best serve the
great mass of people, establish
Justice in all the branches OF
government. To spread til e
gospel of peace, to establish pros
petty, to bring our government
back to its original purity and
give every industry an equal and
fair showing is his purpose, and
his party in every section Is
united to aid in this great work.
Mr.. Taft is laboring under politi;
teal necessity, giving voice te
means and measures to which he,
& heart, is not in full accord
He has not been q conspicuous
figure in the reform movement

US. COURT DECISION
 INTEREST TO STOCKMEN
Of Far-Reaching Importance
 In Relation to Forests,

Or February 3, 1908, at San Fran cisco, the United States circuit court of appeals for the ninth judicial cir cult rendered. decison of far-reach- ing importance to the national for ests and to the stockmen of the west.
 In December 1904, one Thomas shannon allowed his cattle 10 drift upon the Little Belt national forest in Montana. To put a stop to this, suit was brought by the United States and on March IS, 1907, Judge Hunt, in the United States circuit court for that state, rendered a decison in favor of the government, and issued an injunction perpetually restraining shannon from allowing his cattle to drift upon the forest. Montana has fence law by which land owners must fence their lands before they can ob- tain redress from stockmen whose cattle, feeding upon the open public domain, range upon and iniure the private lands.
 Shannon's counsel argued that this state law should apply as against the United States, but Judge Hunt held that the power of congress over the public lands, including the national forests, is complete; that congress
