NOW For BUSINESS

The election Is over, and the next
few months will see reports OF COM
mercial and Industrial undertakings
that will surprise the people of the
land. IL was a matter of strange
comment during the last six months,
= that though there was a panic and
money was tight, prices did not break
and the wage scale was upheld, while
resumption seemed slow. Because the
panic did not destroy the banks and
the substantial commercial houses,
did not result in working men living
on charity. people concluded that this
election did not interfere with bust
ness.
1t was the approaching election
with its uncertainty that made money
tight through the summer and pre-
vented resumption. Now and then
some large project was preached, and
the rumor was forgotten without any
thing coming OF It. Last fall opera
tions were stopped in the very midst
did not know how far the crash
would reach. II was checked and the
corner turned toward better times,
but 1t was an election year.
A month before the election orders
were given conditional on Taft's
election. That some of these were
intended to impress the recipient with
the importance Of the issues in un
questionable, but they only en-
phasized the apprehension of those
who gave the orders. Now the
situation is cleared, so far as danger
of change in the policies of the gov
eminent and the experimenting with
new theories are concerned, the win
ter is before us. and plans for work
when the spring opens may proceed
In safety.
The year Of 1909 will mark the be-
ginning of an era of resumption and
progress unexampled. The policy of
improving trade relations with South
America and the orient and the en-
couragement of the American ma
rine will be carried forward, giving
us a more extended market abroad.
while the home market will require
the renewed output of factories and
mines for many day to come.

Over the Defeat of Bryan and
Organism.
Means Continuance of Progressive
Policies without Bryan's Radi-
caiism.
IT CITES TArT's FINE RECORD

London, Nov. 5.-The press OF
London regards the election OF Wiz
liam H. Taft as a matter for general
and worldwide congratulations. as Il
ENSURES the continuance OF a policy
which has been greatly approved In
England.
THE policy which Mr.. Taft has in
herited,' points out the Standard, "is
in a large measure accountable for
the leap to the front made by Amer.
lea in recent years. and her present
position as a power among the pow
ers is due, to an unusual extent. to
Mr.. Taft's labors in close alliance
with President Roosevelt"
After expressing the belief that Mr..
Taft already has proved himself a
very strong man. the paper says Il
confidently anticipates a fruitful pres
idential term for him and then de-
clares:
"Engishmen must rejoice in the
thought that the friendship between
Great Britain and America. which
President Roosevelt placed on a surer
footing. gives promises of being in
creased aud further assured under
the new administration"
Victory for the Man.
The Westminster Gazette regards
the success OF William II. TAFT as a
victory OF the man rather than OF a
policy.
"Mr. Taft In his admirable record
OF administrative efficiency. has shown
himself safe. shrewd and resourceful.
while Mr.. Bryan never recovered In
the popular esteem from sowing his
wild oats on the silver question. We

OLD LANDMARK REMOVED.
New Structure to Replace Old M. e,
Church at Montezuma.

Montezuma, May 26.--One of the old
est land marks of this city is gone and
may soon be forgotten. 1t Is the Old
Methodist Episcopal church which has
been supplanted by beautiful ne"
$4,000 brick church.
This old church was one of the
earliest public buildings erected in the
town. 1t was built in 1856 at the small
cost of $3,375, considering the fact that
1t was 65x75 feet, and had seating
capacity of 600 people. AT that time
the church was young and its member
ship small. Gideon Wilson. deceased,
was one Of the number, and 1t was due
to his active work that the edifice was
erected. The membership kept grow
ing and later an addition was built to
give much needed room for the service.
AS time wore on the ravages of the
weather made its effect upon the
building and new structure was
erected on a new location.
This building was commenced IN
1906 and was dedicated last spring un-
der the pastorate of the Rev. U. l..
Smith, now of Washington, Iowa. Aft
er the erection of the new church the
old property passed into the hands OF
Attorney Charles r. Clark, prominent
promoter in the erection of the new
edifice.
