A UNIQUE EDIFICE.

One of the most remarkable church
edifices in the world is in Ahmedna-
gar, India. Much of the money came
from Americans, either as an express
sion of appreciation for the services
of American Board missionaries dur
ing famine, or from a desire to help
build a place of worship in India on
the plan which has controlled this
structure Gifts came from members
representing Congregational, Presby-
terian, Episcopal, Methodist, Baptist,
Unitarian and Roman Catholic
churches. Two contributions were
from Hebrew friends. In all the
principal windows, on the rails OF the
communion table and on the back OF
the minister's chair the Indian lotus
flower is beautifully represented In
cathedral glass and in carving. The
lotus flower is the symbol, to the east
Indian, of how the entire universe
has flowed out from the eternal and
infinite. This adaptation to Oriental
ideas, and the restraint used In hav-
ing none of the ecclesiastical SYM
bols Of the west, such as the cross'or
the figure of Christ, answers the
sheer which one sometimes hears
that missionaries try to thrust their
own religious forms upon people OF
the east. On the outside wall 81
this church is an invitation in Eng
lish and in Marathi, "This Is Gods
house. Everyone is invited to enter
| and worship" It is doubtful II
similar invitation is on any other
building in India. Men OF other re-
lligions are not generally allowed
even to enter Hindu temples or MO
hammedan mosques except with re-
strictions. Altogether this edifice II
ancient India is wonderful expo
nent of Christian unity.

that his controversy with Bryan about

OPENING WESTERN LANDS.
lMashington Post !

W dSuEHSLOA EUSL.l
With the opening of the old Rose
bud Indian reservation, in South
Dakota, last week, another step was
taken in the winning of the West. "
In the Rosebud opening 5,176 persons
drew farms of $50 acres, making an
aggregate tract of 200 acres. For
this land the lucky persons paid the
government anywhere from S1-25 to
$500 an acre, according to location.
That land is now selling at from
$50 to $50 an acre, so that the pos
SCISSORS may be said to have gotten
a fortune from the government for a
song.
The Rosebud is only one of the
vast tracts of Western lands which
the United States is throwing open
to those of its citizens who wish to
go out West and grow up with the
country. Either by drawings or by
the old git thar" system of rushing
into the opened lands, at a given sig
nal, the government has already dis
posed of over $4,000 900 acres to
homesteaders 1t still had on hand
of good, bad and Indifferent land
something like 754, S95, 300 acres, which
some day will be giving its support
to a hardy, thriving population capa-
bic of wrestling riches from the soil.
Much of this land lies in Arizona
and New Mexico Large tracts of it
are in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
Nearly all of it is rich, requiring only
the magic of water to turn it from a
desert into a garden. The reclama-
ton service is rapidly furnishing the
water, and the homeseekers, who are
s., oh EhaS
acres each along the line of irriga-
ton canals need never fear for the
future. To the old Westerner, &C
customed to barely scratch his thou
sands of acres, and depend on indul-
gent nature for his crops, the 100
acre farm does not seem a great deal
of land. But the farmer of the fu-
ture will find it more than he can
cultivate scientifically, and its yield
greater than his needs.
Probably the next large land area
to be thrown open to settlers will be
the arabic lands of the wonderful
Occur d,Alene country. This is a par
ticularly rich and picturesque region
in the rainy belt of Idaho, and its
soil is considered most desirable 1t
harbors many lakes, but the Indians
will probably be allowed to retain
the acreage along the shores of the
streams and bodies of water But the
best tillable lands will be thrown
open to settlers. and some of them
are even now estimated to be worth
800 per acre. Even at this late
date, it must sometimes seem worth
while for the young man in search of
fortune to follow Horace Greeley's
advice.

An INVITATION TO ALBANY

cARNEeIE ZOE TARIFF REYIsIoN

Even Andrew Carnegie, the re-
cent head Of the Steel Trust. is ready
to admit that the tariff to protect
infant industries is absurd. In an
article soon TO be published in lead
Ing magazine. Mr. Carnegie takes the
high ground that steel and other in
dustries have grown beyond the
classification of infants" 1t might
be remarked that this same view
has had wide acceptance among
the people at large for some time. the
very designation of infant applied
to the steel trust, for instance, being
joke
At the coming session of congress
an effort will no doubt be made to
secure a revision of the tariff by
which the consumers will get a little
protection from the greed of the man
ufacturer who has hitherto enjoyed
all Of the protection. Mr.. Taft is
understand to be in favor of such a
revision, and the principal stumb-
ling block would appear to be the
''stand-pat7 policy of Speaker Can
non. If Speaker Cannon can be pull
ed down the chances for proper
revision of the tariff would be bright
Mr.. Carnegie, in the article refer

ties. This has been the contention
of the Democrats for many years, ana
it is gratifying to see that the senti-
ment created by the Democratic ar
guments has penetrated the Republi-
can armor The exposures of graf
and greed in Republican circles nave
weakened the influence of the pred
afory rich to an extent. and makes
possible a revision of the tariff
along sensible lines.

THE STREET RAILWAY PROJECT


The imes-Recorder has never
xavered in its faith in the Americas
street railway enterprise. 1t has had
implicit conhGeaGe in the integrity of
the promoters of this gssssss. local en-
terprise and has believed that the
financial difficulties they were meet
ing would eventually be overcome
and the railway constructed. It was
accordingly with more than ordinary
satisfaction that it chronicled on
Sunday the fact that contracts were
about to be let under which the road
will be completed within the time
required under the city's latest agree
ment with the company.
Conditions have been decidedly IN
favorable almost since the inception
of the plan for its prompt execution.
The promoters were not in the re-
hottest degree responsible for this.
No one can question their sincere de-
sire to push the plans through, but
with the country in the throes of a
panic they naturally faced difficulties
that We're for a time insurmountable.
That they have apparently finally
achieved success and consummated
all necessary arrangements reflects
creditably upon their sagacity as
business men while at the same time
it reawakens brighter hopes as to
the future of Americas among those
who may have been inclined to look
with doubt or suspicion upon the
prospects of success for this import
ant project.

that advertisements be published. The
shreWd business manager knows this.
perhaps, better than anyone else and
therefore, largely edits the newspaper
, with attractive advertisements
The artistic way in which adver-
tisements are placed in the newspa-
per is having a wonderful effect on
business. A man can almost control
trade if he advertises widely in the
newspapers. This fact has been clear
ly proven by the principal merchants
in all the leading towns and cities of
the United States.
The business men of this country
believe in newspaper advertising to
the extent that last year more than
six hundred million dollars were
spent for it. That is a large amount
of money. 1t is about as much in
value as the annual cotton crop of
the United States. 1t is larger than
the wheat crop of the entire country,
and is more than the combined cap
ital of all the national banks in the
United States
And now, Notwithstanding the fore
going statements, some good men will
stand up and say that newspaper adj
vertfsing will not pay. They are sim
ply behind the times and fail to
comprehend the facts as they exist.
The truth is that they do not know,
because they have never tried it,

GROWTH OF ADVERTISING
Commercial Union.)

The science and art of newspaper
advertising has developed wonderful
ly in the past fifteen years. So much
SO that it is a question as to which
feature of the newspaper is the more
interesting--the news or the advertis-
ing department For many years lit
tie or no advertising was used in
the newspapers. At that time it was
considered of minor Importance and
the publisher depended for the popu-
larity of his paper almost entirely
upon the news articles and editorials.
That time has passed and other and
more important features claim the at
tention of the people. Advertising is
the one feature that stands out in
first position by the common con-
sent of the trading public.
In fact advertising is so highly
regarded that it is claimed by many
publishers to be the best feature of
a newspaper. A newspaper without
advertising would soon be a news
paper without circulation. What
would a modern newspaper look like
if it's columns contained no adyertis-
ing? 1t would lose much of It's bright
ness and interest to the general pub
lie. The people everywhere demand
