A Republican contemporary says
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler has a good
chance of being elected governor of
New York. OF course he has; there
fore the attempt of this esteemed con-
temporary in another column of the
same issue in which the statement
about Chanler is printed, to show that
Democracy is losing strength, is not
convincing. With New York going
Democratic we must politely refuse to
believe Democracy Is losing strength.

Buffalo Bill is authority for thestate-
ment that President Roosevelt may this
winter come to the lower Colorado on
a hunting expedition. The big hunting,
however. is on the Mexican side of the
international line, and it is pretty safe
to say the president will not abdicate
his office by venturing on foreign land
before March 4, when he will turn the
office over to Bryan.--Imperial Stan

Gratifying indeed is the splendid
average of school attendance in Los
Angeles. Conditions which affiict the
manufacturing districts of the east
are almost unknown here, and we hope
that no matter what may be the indus

will never be known here. School and not

rapidly decreasing membership and waning influences of
the churches
Thoughtful people have long been under firm conviction
to the of facts mentioned 1t is not surprising
therefore, that Dr. Aked preacher though he be- should
similar conclusions but the wonder that he has
dared to give utterance to such IDEAS We observe that
charge of heresy is preferred against him. is it
suggested that in revealing these papabe truths he is aid
ing in further reduction of church membership power
and influence. The great of the people have but
little for the church and would openly assert them
selves but for the further fact that they in ignorance
to the numbers they boast their combined strength
Once the people be brought to awakening this
subject it will be a sorry day for the church militant and
those who depend upon the institution for bread and butter
and fine raiment.
Pursuing his utterances little further read:
EITHER Christianity is good for everything it is good
for nothing If good for nothing it should be frankly
abandoned" We agree with him. Although he argues,
further for the benefits and utilities accrung to human
life because of what he calls religion, than
satisfied that Christianity has long outlived the little
fulness it had and it is time that it should be
abandoned the end that pure and higher motives to
human action may find Judgment in the mind and heart
Our contention that today if it had bcen at any
period in its history the Christian religion is good for
