Civilization Paralleling Trade.

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.
That is what makes, in the progress of
civilization, the immense Importance of
Christian missions. You 60 into China
to-day and try to find out what the con
ditions are in the interior-consult in
Peking 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 ad-
vanced into the nation, far beyond the
point Of safety If any uprising takes
place, and who have learned By assocla-
ton with the natives, by living with
them, by bringing them int their
houses, by helping them on to their
feet, who have learned the secret of
what Chinese life Is.
"Now you can read books-I have
read them-in which the missions are
described as most comfortable build
ings; and it Is said that missionaries
are living more luxurlously than they
would at home, and therefore they do
not call for our support or sympathy
1t is true that there are a good many
| mission buildings that are handsome
buildings 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 fiji his eye with some
| thing that he can see, and If you erect
| a great missionary building, he deems
your coming into that community of
some Importance. But it is not life
Of ease: it is not life Of comfort and
luxury. These men are doing grand,
good work. l do not mean to say that
there are not exceptions among them
that sometimes they do not NEEDLE in
something which it would be better for
them from polite move to keep out
| of; but mean as whole, these mis-
sionares in China and In other coun-
tries worthily represent the best Chris
tian spirit of this country"

TRUTH IN JEST.

CFrom the Omaha Bee.)

Golfers Weekly star humorist has
been contributing to the gayety Of the
campaign by timely discussion of cur
rent political events. His latest effer-
vcscence, 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-
baImed. 1t is as follows:
Hon. Bryan say:
"a President should be like Hon
Theodore Roosevelt only more so.
Malefactors etc. needs not cringe of

by feeding him Gold Cure or some
thing? All no! What could do with

rakish eye-wink? To increase weak

Mr.. Golfers japanese schoolboy has
caught the spirit of the occasion. In
his facetious way he has portrayed the
''chameleon-like" qualities of the Dem
ocratic candidate better than a laugh
Ing mirror. This gem il worth past

as trade conditions change. The Ding
ley schedules have remained unaltered
longer than those of any other tariff
since the foundation of the govern
ment. No wonder that the opinion ex-
lists among Protectionists as well as
old-time Free Traders that the law
should be readjustcd to the times The
practical question arises and confrunts
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 Taftf
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
November. 1t is against all human
probability that Democratic tariff
measure could get through Rcpubi-
can Senate. 1t is unlikely that Repub-
licans could frame tariff measure to
which Bryan as President would at
fix his signature.
To elect Bryan to the Presidency
would be to block the legislative ma

tariff is concerned.

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 I 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, did not realize the immense
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
basis for the hope Of modern civiliza-
tion and the growth of popular self
government. The spirit of Christianity
is pure democracy. 1t il the equality
of man before God, the equality of man
before the law, which is, as 1 under
stand 1t, 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 | know what I sm
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 Godliness and that one busi-
ness Of his Is TO keep himself healthy,
and so in connection with every good
foreign mission they have hospitals
and doctors. And therefore. the mis-
sion makes nucleus Of modern civili-
zation, with schools, teachers and physi-
clans and the church. In that way,
| having educated the native, having
taught him how to live, then they are
| able to be sure that they have made
him consistent Christian.
1.-TWO or three things make one i'm
patient when he understands the facts.
One is this criticism Of the missionaries
as 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
forward, am sorry to say, are not the
best representatives Of Western civili-
zation. 1t IL not human nature that
they should resist the temptations that
not infrequently present themselves to
get ahead Of the Oriental brother in
business transactions. They generally
are quite out of sympathy with spirit
Of brotherhood toward the Oriental ma
tves. Even In the Philippines that
spirit is shown, for while l was there
can remember hearing on the streets,
sung by gentleman that did not agree
with my view Of our duty toward the
Filipinos:
"He may be 4 brother Of William H.
Taft,
But he amt no brother of mine"

Proof of PrOaperltY.

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
ly sent out as n news item from New
York City concerning Tho 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 of the loan Of $685.
100000 which 1t 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

platform distinctly pledges itself to put

didate distinctly pledges himself to be

The Democratic party proposes to de-
