BOTH STAND FOR FOREIGN MIS-
SIONS.


Taft has indirectly met the charge
that he is an infdel by a sermon
into a photograph in which, referring
to foreign missions, he says:
Until | went to the Orient I did
not realize the immense Importance
of foreign missions. The truth is we
have got to wake up in this country
We are not all there is in the world
The spirit of Christianity is pure de-
mocracy. 1t is the equality of man
before God-the equality of man be-
fore the world There is in the Consti-
tuition of the United States a breath
ing spirit that we are a nation with
all the esponsibilities that any ma
ton ever had, and therefore when it
becomes the Christian duty of a ma
ton to assist any nation the Consti-
tuition authorizes it because it is part
of national well-being."
Bryan, as is generally known, is an
ardent advocate of foreign mission
airy work, and has frequently spoken
in the highest terms of approval of
its part in the uplifting of the East.

WATTERSON SUMS UP BOTH THE

Col. Henry Watterson is doing some
brilliant Characterization in this
campaign. His portraits of the De-
mocratic and Republican parties are
not only accurate but picturesquely
vivid. The Democratic press bureau
is doing good work in the Courier

Gently wrote:
The trend of Republicanism is to-
ward a sovereignty imperial in char
acter, having merely democratic
nomenclature The trend OF Demo-
cracy is toward simpler things and
wider agencies in popular govern
ment. Under Buchanan some pro
gress had been made toward an aris-
tocracy of power Under Roosevelt
the progress has been startling, if it
be not alarming. Surely some check
should be put upon if If we must
worship something, let it be ideals,
and not heroes. If we must hate
something, let it be the provable that
is base, not the Pigments of factional
and sectional prejudice. All of US
want good government. Under TAFT
we get the sameold rings and groups,
of wheels inside of wheels, slicked
over with bogus reforms. Under Bryal
we get at least a halt and look a
change which will be useful if only
for the sake of the change, with not
a particle of danger to any honest
interest"

THE UBIQUITOUS FEE SYSTEM

The Georgia legislature recently
voted against the bill to abolish the
fee system as far as it relates to sol
icitors- general. 1t voted in the wrong
when it did this. The fee system
should be, and some day viii be wip-
ed out in it's entirety. AS the Balti-
more Star well says:
"The discussion of the fee system
show more argument against than
for it. The strongest point against
it is that no matter what may be its
advantages it is constantly open to
temptation, and to it is peculiarly APP
plicable the significant remark made
by Ambassador Bryce in his Ameri-
can Commonwealth: The founder OF
the Constitution were men who be-
lieved thoroughly in original sin
they left no door open they could
shut"

The more Bryan exposes the falla-

died on the country by the Republi-

will become. Even the New York
Sun, which has bitterly opposed him,
says of his recent speech: 1T would
be unfair not to recognize the moder-

dor of tone, the directness and sua-
witty of statement and the clearness Of
argument, /" which distinguished this
address, 1t also denounces the Re

power of the Federal Government is
to collect from the taxpayers money
with which to guarantee a reasonable

The Girard Trust Company, of
Philadelphia, recently took possession
of its new home, the finest building in
the world entirely devoted to banking
purposes. 1t is a reproduction, ex-

pany's purposes. In its construction
eight thousand tons Of white marble
was used. This marble all came
from Georgia, on the advice Of the
architects, as it is peculiarly hard
and non-asorbant and therefore less
liable to show stains from the city's
smoke and CRIME.
