President Roosevelt is doing his best
to establish, Presidential, Candidate
Taft as the heir to :'my policies. :, The
president proclaims that ttthe policies
for which + stand are his policies no
less than mine, And here is the New
York World summary Of the Roose-
welt policies Of his administration;
First 1t has been extravagant and
wasteful.

larize war. .... t... H.. ....l,.

Do THE PEOPLE RULE

After all the excitement over the pub
lication Of the Standard Oil letters
showing that trusts control legislation,
has reached the stage where the voters
sift the wheat from the chaff of sensa-
tional publications, what will be the
logical conclusion in the minds of the
voters? 1t will be:
THAT the people do not rule be-
cause the national aw-makers legislate
to suit the trusts. More trusts exist
today than ever, the people suffer more
from them, and they practice more
extortion.
2.-That the party in power is the
party through which the trusts rule.
The republican party is now in power.
1t writes all the national laws. In q
speech in the last congress, Mr.. Sher-
man candidate for vice.presidont),
declared that the republican party
assumed all responsibility for everything
that has been done and for what has
not been done. That is right, The
trusts write the tariff laws passed by
republican votes. If the magnates are
not punished criminally. it is because
Republican officials fail in their duties.
For eleven years the democrats have
had no power to frame federal laws or
to execute federal statute. If every
thing in America is all right MS to
federal laws for eleven years, the re-
publican party deserves the credit. IF
evils have crcpt in" the republicans

Million Negro Voters For Bryan.

According to the Rev. s L .Coroth-
ers, colored minister of Washing
ton, D. c., between S0O,O and 0OO,-
600 negro voters will vote the demo
cratic ticket this year as rebuke to
the Roosevelt administration. Coroth-
ers is president of the National In
dependent Civil and Political League
of American Negroes. He assailed
the colored leaders who are working
for the election of Taft and Sherman,
and says that in the light of recent
events mo. man can now tell to which
party the negro belongs" ...
I'm the future the colored man will
vote for men and measures and not
for party" he said. He added IF
the union army could have saved the
country without arming the black
man the negro would never have been
a soldier. SO the south is as much
entitled to credit in this matter as
the north"
He also asserted that the republi-
can party granted the ballot to the
negro solely for the purpose of main
tanning itself. In conclusion he said:
'If one million negroes will vote for
Bryan in November the negroes of
this country will win more respect in
the next four years than they have in
the last forty. Independence, indus
try, self,respect demand that the
negro, like all other American citi-
zens. use his ballot to secure his
rights ana allow no man to buy or
sell hi:lI.""

tragic death, identified the college in
the popular mind with the assassin
ated president henceforth.
Harry Augustus Garfield succeeds
President Henry Hopkins, who died a
month ago. Graduated from Williams
20 years ago, Mr.. Garfield is now As
years old.
Born in Hiram, O., Harry Augustus
Garfield returned to his native state
as soon as his legal education was
finished. After his graduation from
Williams he was master for one year
of st. Paul's school, Concord, N. H.,
where he was prepared for college,
then he studied law for year in
Columbia law school and in the. office
of Bangs, Stetson, Tracey & Mac
Veagh. The following year he con.
tinued his law studies at the Inns of
Court, in London, and at Oxford uni
versity, devoting much attention to
the courses in political science. Upon
his return to the United States in the
spring of 1888 he was admitted to the
bar in Ohio.
In June, 1888, he married Miss
Belle H. Mason of Cleveland, daughter
of a leading railroad lawyer. After
his marriage he formed partnership
with his brother James and began the
practice of law in Cleveland. They
soon developed large practice.
Harry Garfield took keen interest
in politics and was the organizer OF
the Municipal association, which de,
feated and broke up the notorious Nc.
Kisson gang, then controlling city poll.
tics. Until 1903 Harry Garfield served
this association as president and In
1898 he was president also of the
Cleveland chamber Of commerce.
In 1903 he retired from the practice
of law to accept the chair of politics
at Princeton university. Here he made
a record for learning and ability by
his lectures on colonial government
and government by party.
The selection of Mr.. Garfield for the
presidency of Williams college is an
other example of the tendency of New
England institutions Of learning to Sc
lect for their heads men of different
type from the college presidents of
former years, who were uniformly
clergymen, of little or no experience
with the world outside of college walls.
President Eliot of Harvard was a
chemist, President Hadley of Yale was
an economist and President Luther of
Trinity college (Hartford) was a
mathematician. Outside of New Eng
land the tendency has been more pro-
nounced.
The college draws students from
every state in the union, as well as
from several foreign countries. Alum
nj associations Of the college are to
be found in all the large cities of the
United States. Williams has been
called "the cradle of foreign missions"
and its name is mentioned with the
spread of the missionary movement

MAKE FINAL STAND.
REMNANT OF ORIGINAL MoRMoNs
GATHER IN CONNECTICUT.
Members Of Church Who Did Not Fol-
low Brigham Young to Utah Now
Number Only Forty-Four-Hls-
tory of Strange Sect.

Hartford, Conn.-The last remnants
of the old orthodox Mormons who did
not follow Brigham Young in the ex-
odus to Utah have gathered together
for a final stand in little meeting
house In Silvermine, a rural township
In the hills of Fairfield county, Con-
necticut.
Their white, barnlike structure
bears the title, RECONSTRUCTED Church
of Christ of the Latter Day Saints"
Within are bare walls and eight wood
en- benches, which, however, more
than hold the few parishioners who
gather on Sundays, for the church
members number only A. They are
scattered from Norwalk to Danbury,
and some from over York state" and
are the only surviving Mormons OF the
old school, to whom the Utah breth-
rem are apostates.
The preacher of the little church
resembles the portraits of Horace
Greeley. He looked askance at a
stranger who sat on the rear bench,
but proceeded with the Scripture
reading 1t was from the book OF
Nephthi of the book of Mormon. AS
for its meaning, the preacher, bearing
the Calvanistic name of Jonathan Ed
wards Comstock, didn't try to explain,
for Nephthi remarks: "Of this there
need be no expounding, for my mouth
delights in plainness and my soul in
truth"
But it was the sermon, which lasted
As minutes, which proved most inter.
esting and threw a new and strange
light on American history. According
to Mormon belief, after the fall OF
Babylon one of the lost tribes, by the
name OF Jaradites, came to America
goodness only knows how, for
neither Nephthi nor Mr. Comstock
expounded the route-and settled
around the gulf, afterward going as
far north as Michigan, whore they
worked the copper mines.

struction OF Jerusalem. another tribe,
the Nephthalites, also visited the

American Society Reports That Few
Peoples Are Without New Tes-
tament-Bible for Blind
.... Weighs 100 Pounds.

New York.-In a report of the
American Bible society it Is revealed
that the whole Bible is now printed In
152 languages and dialects. and the
New Testament, or smaller portions,
In more than 480. 1t thus appears
that there are not many races of peo-
pie in the world now that have no
part of the Bible in their own tongue.
One of the most recent translations
is that of the New Testament In Nau.
ru for use on one of the Caroline is
lands. This was printed by native
boys on a mission press and bound in
San Francisco, the funds being a gift
of the American Bible society.
The Bible society Is nearly 100 years
old. It's board of managers Is made
up of business men representing the
different church denominations and
the large interests of the society are
carried on under the most approved
methods. The object of the society is
not commercial, but is purely benevo-
lent, and all Bibles are sold at or be-
low cost.

BIBLEFOR ANYRACE

In 1916, when the society was or
ganized, there were many homes in
America without the Bible, because Of
the expense, and 1t was determined to
issue the Bible in as cheap a form as
possible consistent with good work.
manship and material.
There Is now an entire Bible that
sells at II cents, New Testament at
six cents and the Gospels at two cents.
The Oxford Company issues a Bible
so small that It can be hidden in u
closed hand In contrast with this Is
the Bible that the society has got out
for the use and benefit Of the blind;
published in 16 volumes, 12hx15Ax4h
inches, and Weighing 100 pounds.
The Scriptures for the blind are
priced at about one.third of their actu-
al cost and the 16 large volumes can
be had for So. In the so years of the
societys work IL has issued more
than S0,000000 volumes. Last year
the total issue of the society at home
and abroad was 1,910,853.
In addition to maintaining agencies
in the different countries OF the world
for supervision of the translation,
printing and circulation of the Bible,
the society cooperates with all de-
nominations in the foreign field by ma
king grants of Bibles and of funds to
help carry on the work. In this coun-
try the Bible society has furnished
the Scriptures in GO languages of the
immigrants and in ten of those of the
North American Indians.

who had so long repulsed him, but
who now lifted up his voice with no
apparent purpose other than that Of
inviting Tom Satan's companionship.
He even made his way with series
Of little purring meows to the rivers
edge, and put out one paw as though
to walk to Jonas. But at the touch
of the water he withdrew the dripping
member, shook it vigorously, backed
away and stood for moment irreso-
lutte. Then, as though seized by sud
den inspiration, he sprang into the
tree from which hung the tantalizing
grapevine, and, with the cautious
tread of a rope-walker, clawed his
way out over the dead bough, stopping
every now and then-as the branch
bent beneath his weight-to give a
reassuring meow.
Apparently Tom Satan considered
the feat of reaching Jonas via the
dead branch and the grapevine feas-
ible, and the end desirable But what
might have been the outcome of these
maneuvers will remain forever uncer-
tain, for midway in his journey the
unexpected happened; the dead limb
snapped, and Tom Satan, clutching at
the nearest sound branch, was left
hanging by his fore paws in mid air
From this precarious position the fe-
line acrobat recovered himself by dint
of frantic gymnastics, and scrambling
into coign of safety in a fork of the
tree branch, proceeded, after the in
consequent manner of his kind, to
make vigorous toilet.
But to Jonas that moment of Tom
Satan's peril was the moment of his
own restoration. For with the break
| ing of the limb long whitney arm
of the grapevine had been loosened
and fell straight into the hands of the
despairing man below.
| AS to the nerve-taxing, muscle
straining efforts by which Jonas at
last wrenched himself free from the
grip of the quicksand, and the mingled
rejoicings and lamentations of Elmin
| ia Minerva over her lovers plight,
| that is an outline that all lovers of the
heroic and romantic can fill in to suit
II
| themselves
But this much Is matter of his
tory: That the family mansion of
seven rooms was built on knoll
shaded by Norwegian pines, decorated
with variegated flower beds, and over
looking a half section of 800 fertile
acres, also that it became the peaceful
home of Jonas, Elminta Minerva, and
of Tom Satan. For to his feline pre-
server Jonas, veering to the other ex-
IRENE of feeling, attributed such cour-
ageous and benignant qualities that
the regenerated Tom Satan lived out
his days in the odor of sanctity, and
after his death was immortalized by
the erection, in his memory, of lofty
granite monument, which still stands
on the knoll under the Norwegian
pines, in the southwest quarter OF
section II, range three, township
three, in the county of Thomas, state
| of Kansas.
