The New Minister ):

Sunday came and with Il came the
congregation to listen to the new
clergyman and the new choir. What
manner of man would the former be?
And the choir? Really, Judith Quimby
must be at ruinous expense TO bear
the whole cost out of her private
means.
Watts stepped forward and opened the
door leading from the vestibule to the
church, and the congregation entered
the house of worship. The new clergy
man and the choir were there before
them, the divine standing in his pulpit,
the choir seated on his right.
A murmur of surprise and pleasure
bro.ie from the congregation. What
a noble clergyman! young, handsome,
sanity; everything a pastor should be!
The congregation was now seated
and lifting his outstretched hands, the
new clergyman opened the mornings
worship with prayer and then immedi-
ately chose his text and delivered his
sermon. The little flock held it's
breath in admiration; never before
had il heard such a sermon as this
a mastery searching out of the vani-
ties OF these latter times, delivered in
rich, sonorous voice. and with true
Baptist fervency. Verify, a summer of
spiritual glory had descended upon the
village Of Watervale!
The choir will now sing the forty
seventh hymn" directed the new
clergyman, and at once the choir arose
with open hymn-books and, taking the
most graceful attitude, rendered the
song in consummate style; then, de-

Then, lifting his hands, he spoke the
benediction, aad Immediately after
wards the congregation arose and
made its exit to the vocal music of the
choir.

A Mere Fad.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., was talking
to q member of the famous Bible class
about economy.
"But economy, like everything else,
may be carried to extremes-may be
made a mere fad Of" said Mr.. Rookie
feller.
There is a farmer out near Cleve.
land who makes fad of economy.
Every time he drives into town he
carries hen with him tied to the
seat OF his buggy.
"A friend rode with him one day
and found out the use Of the hen.
When, at noon, the farmer lunched
under a tree he gave his mare a feed
from 4 nosebag. The hen, set on the
ground, ate all that the horse spilled
from the bag, and thus there was no
waste"

meetings of Hearst's independence

sions may be taken to indicate the
tendency Of that vote in the CITY
the quiet, non-political vote when

It's utterance is more encouraging
for Mr.. Bryan than anything we

Comes Out For Bryan.

In an article written in perfect
good temper and apparently conser'
vatively, the New York Realty
Journal, which we take to be the or
gan of the real estate interests OF
that city, declares itself strongly
for Bryan. Apparently without
passion or enthusiasm, it expresses
the belief that the Democratic NOM
inee will be elected president this
year by a majority of the popular
vote and the electoral college as
large as that by which he was de.
feated in 1896. The Realty Journal
says it has supported Roosevelt,
Hughes and Mcclellan, and has
stood for good government regard
less of politics.
It believes, however, that the Re-
publican national convention was
controlled by the special interests
and that lacking the strong and ag.
gressive personality and opposition
of President Roosevelt to Re-
publican administration, will be
owned and controlled by those in
terests. 1t contends that Bryan
represents the Rooseveltpolicie and
will be able to enforce them with
the Democratic party behind them,
whereas Mr.. Taft in that direction
would be helpless. The Realty Jour
nal asserts that the Hearst move
ment will amount to nothing. This
is confirmed, in measure, at least
by recent reports in the New York
daily newspapers showing that

The Commoner says in his address
to the Republican national conven-
ton, Temporary Chairman Burrows
referred to the Republican victory
in 1904, and then asked: In view of
this Endorsement. it becomes peril
nent and opportune to inquire,
what has the Republican party done
in the last four years Of government
control to forfeit public confidence
or create distrust in its capacity for
future administration
For this question the Rochester
New York; Union and Advertiser
finds q striking answer. This is the
answer which the Union and Adver-
tiser takes out the mouth Of Senator
Burrows own party: In the broad
effect of its policy it has precipitat-
ed panic, blighted industry and
trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories, reduced work and
wages, matted enterprise and crlp-
pled American production. Every
consideration of public safety and

They Are Scared.
The American Farmer says:

The American Farmer says:
"The brewers and distillers, hard
pressed by the temperance wave, are
endeavoring to stem the tide. In
page advertisements in the daily
papers they are telling us what ruin
would overtake US if no more malt
or sourmash were made. An espec-
ial drive is being made at the far
mers with the old argument that if
the distilleries and breweries should
be forced to close ther e would be a
greatly reduced market for corn,
rye and barley. There was time
when this argument had great in
fuence with farmers, but they have
learned better. There is plenty of
market for all the grain raised
without using it to debauch and
craze the people. Moreover, the
cattle fattened on slops at distiller-
les come into competition with those
matured on the farm, to the great
loss of legitimate stock-raising.
The truth is, that the Thiskey traffic
hasn't a single excuse fpr being and
will have to go. The peonie have
decreed it's execution and long be-
fore the end of his century there

Working Men for Bryan.

Interviews with labor leaders
in all parts Of the United States
where labor is organized, we
are Indebted to the Philadelphia
Record for this information, IN
diccate that the leaders believe a
great majority of the vast army OF
working men will fall into line with
Samuel Gompers in his determine
ton to support Mr.. Bryan for Pres
ident. The News and Courier says
ninety-eight per cent Of the labor
vote in Cincinnati, Mr.. Taft's own
home town, is counted upon for Mr..
Bryan, and the working men on the
Pacific Slope will stand by the great
Commoner in his present battle for
the People. The President OF the
Iowa State Federation Of Labor be
lieves that the labor vote will fol-
low Gompers for Bryan. The pres
ident of the Indiana State Fedora
ton declares that, Labor receives
it's instructions in matters Of this
kind from the American Federation
of Labor" The same condition of
things, it is said, will exist in Ken
lucky. Every one of the 10000
members of the Federation in Bal
timore, it is predicted by President
Edward Hi;sh, of the Baltimore
Federation, will vote for Bryan.
The word o. Gompers will control in
Missouri, anu likewise in Minnesota
and also in Utah. Charles Dickson
Of the Union Labor Council, in Los
Angeles, CAL, has boiled down the
sentiment of the labor forces of the
United States in this brief but ex-
