From thy side, the boulders tumble, But stand, thou wilt, in power sub lime. Unshken by the waves of Time. I look upon thy gray old stone And think upon the Past alone; While down Times stream we each do
 glide, Til! in Gods Acre, side by side We all do find a resting place, Long with the whole great human race, But there thou'lt stand, till that great
 day, When Heaven and Earth shall pass

RESPECT THE HOUSE OF COP

Among the late innovations in the
management of church services, the
encouraging of men to go to church
without their coats is deservedly meet.
ing with much favor. In hot weather
there are few men who wear their
coats habitually during the six work
ing days, and it is unreasonable for
them to have to do so on Sunday -
Bryan Eagle.
We beg to differ. There is a certain
amount of courtesy due to society
and the man who can't stand for an
hours service in church with his coat
on had better stay at home. Nowadays
no respectable hotel or restaurant in
the cities allow man to eat at the
table without his coat on, and il seems
to us that church services are still
more entitled to this courtesy. This
laxity carried out means that it will
only be a question of time until a man

Our Hallettsville brother is eminent
ly correct. The house of God is en-
titled to the highest respect and court
esy from men and women and we are
not at all in sympathy with this idea
of men attending church services in
their shirt sleeves, or in the so-called
more modern idea of allowing men to
smoke during a church service. Or.

Each ones opinion of such matters
depends on his point of view. If the
church service is a society function
of course, a negligee costume Is not
admissible, but this is exactly what
keeps many away from the service.

done in this locality. Not another
remedy ever produced such convin-

E. w. Plummer. living at 900
Summit street. Aberdeen, Wash,
says: II am glad to repeat the
statement I have made some three
years ago, telling how Doan's Kid
ney Pills relieved me of an almost
constant backache and a kidney
trouble which had lasted for two or
three years. The pain was so Sc
we're at times that I could rot rest
in bed or turn over without suffer-
ing excruciatingly. and in the morn
ing I would get up sore and lame
and unfit for work. The kidney Sc
cretions were disordered and far too
frequent. When I started to use
Deans Kidney Pills l was in bad
shape, but they fixed me up quickly.
The use Of less than two boxes re-
moved every trace of the complaint.
Doan's Kidney Pills are a sure cure
for kidney trouble and backache,
and wish every sufferer could
know It,"

the contributors, an opportunity which 1t ls readily seen would be abused by political charlatan. The Bryan argu- mont is that tho contributions should be acknowledged before election in or- der that everybody might know where the possessors of predatory wealth are to be located that campaign expend- ittres cannot of course be told about until after the expense account has been closed which Is after the polls have closed
 The Bryan plan is a sort of contin- nous show down, a constant parade of political virtue, Tho Taft plan is practical method of meeting a practI- Ical need and is as effective plan of protection as can be devised. As matter of brass tacks 1t Is compara- lively of little or no account what tho contributions are either in the bulk or the personnel they represent. The es- sential thing to learn IS what the cam pasn cost each party in order to as- certain whether the expenditure of money was legitimate; how the money was used, in order to throw more light on the management of a modern po- litIcal campaign and finally to watch and see whether the conduct of the ad- mlnstratlon In power Is affected by contributors, in order that the patriot ism of such gifts may be established or the administration discredlted by dis- honest contract work.
 The howls about the influence of pre- datory wealth and tho corrupting work of rich maefactors. which have been sadly worked overtime, need not be taken Into consideration in comparing these two publicity plans They speak ! for themselves. while the Taft plan will be found to meet every emergency and to introduce Into both administrative and legislative life new standards of political honor
