President VIII Attend the Convention
in Person.
Under certain conditions Roosevelt
may break all precedent and attend the
republican national convention at Chi
cago.
He will do this for two reasons. One
is to prevent any enthusiastic friend
from attempting to engineer STAN
pede in his favor, and the other Is to
see that the national committee plays
fair in it's decisions In relation to con-
testing delegations from states where
there are contests.
1t is believed that well defined plans
are being made to put enough contest
ing delegations into the field to throw
the control of the convention into the
hands of the national committee,
which will pass on tho claims Of rival
sets Of delegates.
The president realizes that certain
interests would go far and spend a
great amount Of money to swing the
convention away from Taft. To see
that no such gigantic scheme of politi
cal fraud is consumnated would be
the presidents aim in being on the
spot.
The leading question now is, would
Roosevelt throw himself into the
breach and capture the nomination IL
the scheme to block Taft succeeds?

INTELLIGENT JURORS.

The Kansas City Journal in an edt.
torial complimenting a Washington
federal judge for Directing to trying
a case before a. stupid jury. expresses
the belief that many lawyers make n
mistake in looking askance at the
newspaper reader when securing a
jury. An instance is cited that &C.
es-reti in Chicago the other day when
in attempting to secure a jury of fair
y anded men. whose minds were not
biased by reading newspaper accounts
of the affair in controversy, a tales
man was examined who thought an
edition de luxe was a form of negro
dialect. while another thought an ac-
complice is some kind of a fancy
drink. The Journal says:
But men no longer accept their opin.
ions ready made. The most effective
newspapers today are those which do
not mold" opinion. in the good old
sense, but which. furnish the most re-
liable and complete data for the formal
ton of original opinions by their read
ers. The average mar today is wide

ROCKEFELLER'S PASTOR SAYS CHURCHES
ARE DECAYING

"Within the next century, unless the present course Of
events changes, the churches of the country will be deserted
and the theological seminaries will be bowling widernesses,'
says Rev. Charles T. Aked, pastor of one of the w~ealthiest of
Fifth avenue congregations, and the one of which John ID.
Rockefeller is a member. DR.. Aked has made churchmen as
we'll as the fashionable members of his congregation gasp by
his plain and strong speaking on former occasions, but his
latest attack on the ineffcieney of modern religion as exempli-
fed by the churches is a veritable bombshell thrown into the
ranks Of church followers.
'sThe man on the cars has got it into his head that Chris
tianity is played out, that churches are, in his. own language,
9 "a back number y DR.. Akers asserts. 1.-The negative attack OF
the atheist on Christianity has spent it's force, but the vast ma
jority of persons have come to feel that religion can be ignored.
In a fashion they think that it ought to be ignored.
The only thing that can save the churches, in DR.. Aked's
opinion, is to bring them into closer touch with the practical
affairs of life. s'The church which has nothing to say to social
problems has in our day no claim to existence. Soon, if it be
not laughed off the face of the earth, it will remain, only as the
refuge of the idler, the self-seeker and the coward. We may
be profoundly thankful for the promise of many mansions in
the sky, but the gospel for today demands better homes below
and better men and women in them. We may contemplate with
poetical rapture the pearly gates and golden streets, but they.
must not so fill our minds that we have no thought for the tene-
ment district. Religion is not a thing of the stars but of the
streets
ssIhis is a time for plain speaking said DR.. Aked when
asked as to his reasons for undertaking what some religious
authorities call an attempt to muck rake the churches. eff
the churches are not to lose the remnant Of the influence and
respect which they once commanded they must get into closer
touch with the. practical and vital affairs of life. To attempt
to conceal the decay in the churches is a runous policy that has
been followed long enough. There is no reason for believers in
religion to fall into a panic but there is urgent necessity for an
overhauling Of outgrown formulas that are out of touch with
the new ideas that dominate the world today. Evangelicalism
has lasted through one hundred and fifty years, one hundred
years of triumph and fifty years of gradually approaching
weakness and decay. The world will not go backward. The
churches must go forward or perish
