ers in the Episcopal church.
The growth of the Brother. ood of
st. Andrew is most remarkable. In
October, twenty five years ago, James
l.. Houghteling, Chicago banker and
member of the we'll known firm of
Peabody & Houghteling Co., was
teaching Bible class Of young men at
St. James Episcopal church, Chicago.
The idea occurred to him that besides
studying the Bible his young men
ought to do something towards bring
ing other young men within the hear
ing of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ac-
cordingly, Mr.. Houghteling, with the
assistance Of the twelve young men of
the Bible class, formed chapter of the
Brotherhood of ST. Andrew.
It was soon found that the hurch
was filled with men at every service,
and this simple little organization at
tracted attention elsewhere. A similar
chapter was formed at Grace church,
Chicago, and then spread to Phila-
delphia.
From Philadelphia it was trans
planted to various parts of the United
States, until, at present, there are
$1,000 members in the United States
alone, and there are also successful Or
CARNATIONS in England, Canada, Scot
land, the West Indies, Australia,
Alaska, China, Japan, and in fact
wherever the Anglican church is
found.

WHAT CAN We DO?
Discussion as to What Attitude is
PrOfitable-ValuabIe Sug-
geStiOnS.

What Can We Do for Our Public
School? was the subject presented by
Mrs. Bevelyn Clarke before the Goth
Century club Thursday afternoon. By
her many years experience, Mrs.
Clarke is especially fitted to speak upon
this subject and the club listened with
great interest to her suggestions.
introducing her subject by the recit-
al of what work has been done fol
schools by large number of education
al societies in different cities of the
United States, Mrs. Clarke gave hel
own ideas of what might be done and
also results of interviews with other
teachers. Among her many sugges-
tions were, visiting school, ,cuitivating a
friendly inter course with the teachers,
creating public opinion in favor of the
teachers, arranging mothers meetings
and other gatherings at the school
houses to promote sociab1liy between
teachers and parents, offering prizes
for essays and other work, giving talks
before the school children to encourage
promptness, neatness, respect fol
authority and other subjects, etc.
The next meeting will be held at the
home of Mrs. Strong, Oct. 20. Delegates
to the convention of the State Fedora
ton at Milwaukee will give reports:
Mrs. Donovan, Mrs. Mertzke, Mrs.
Maloney and Mrs. Runge were elected.

THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT.

Up in Spokane the followers of
Messrs. PoindeXter, Rockwell, Ludden
and Rosenhaupt are busy trying 70
center the Spokane vote on their re-
spective candidates. but thus far they
seemed to have failed.
BY the aid of a clever straw vote,
the Spokesman Review seems to be
doing a little toward convincing it's
constituency that Judge PoindeXter is
in the lead for the republication NOM
ination, and it seems probable that
PoindeXter, who is an ex-democrat,
will get a plurality of Spokane votes,
but ii also seems doubtful at this
late day that any Of the candidates can
get enough votes in Spokane to assure
him the nomination. If this is not done.
it is likely that the nomination will go
to some candidate outside of Spokane
who can poll a big country vote. In
view of Lee A. Johnson's wide ac-
quaintance, due largely to his fight for
local option, it now looks as if the
Sunnyside man will come under the
wires next week slightly in the lead.

with the care of their own money?
Does Taft want the people to believe
that simply because the state or the
nation would undertake to pay deposl-
tors in full i'm case of a bank failure,
that the money so paid would not have
to be paid back out of the assets OF
the bank, and that every cent OF the
banks funds would not be used for
that purpose, and that an assessment
upon the stockholders would not be
made as is now the case, if such as
sessment became necessary to reim-
burse the guaranty fund?
In short, does not Taft know that the
guaranty of bank deposits merely pro-
poses to have the state or the nation,
to step in and pay the depositors in
full and then look to the banks, their
assets and their officers and stockhold-
ers for reimbursement, and that such
banks would be under the same obliga-
tions, financially and morally, as they
no ware? AS matter Of fact, the
moral obligation, if it cuts any figure.
ought to be greater under the guaranty
plan than at present, as the obligation
enforced by it would be to protect fel-
low bankers from loss and also to pro-
tect the state or nation from such loss,
therefore appealing to the patriotism.
if, indeed, such bankers as Taft has
come in contact with from which he
must judge all of them, have any pa
triotism to which to appeal.

rather from one who has always sup

Editor, The Times: This is what an
old republican has to say: L have con-
sldered the question very seriously
about the coming election, and have
come to the conclusion that any fair
thinking republican ought to vote in
coming election the democratic ticket.
MOT that 1 am against Mr.. Taft, as
and millions of others believe he is
one of the most able men in the United
States, but what can he do or what
has Mr.. Roosevelt done?
1t is true he has put a few men in
jail and few have committed suicide.
but is the working man any better for
it? No. Has he broken the sugar trust
which millions Of little children are de-
pendent on for their daily sustenance ?
NO, sir. Havemeyer is making millions
just the same as before.
OR has he broken the salt trust? No.
Before the salt trust came, into exist
ence we used to buy fve-pound bag
for five cents; now we get about one
pound for five cents.
AS regards the railways he has GER
tainly done great deal: but did it
benefit the working man? No. 1t put
MN in much worse position than he
was two Or three years ago
Instead of getting for his DAVIS la
Dor $3.50 to $500, he now gets about
sl25 to s1.50-and there are millions
who cannot get work at all.
L do not blame Mr.. Roosevelt as !
sincerely believe that all his actions
were honest, but what can he do with

people of the United States, but the

PRINTING THE NEWS.

You know, The Statesman doesn't
really care whether Cosgrove, Mead or
Mcbride is nominated by the republican
rarty. but it has some readers who
expect to go into the republican pri-
maries next Tuesday and it believes
that it is duty to keep these readers
well informed on the political situation
purely from a news point of view. That
was why it has printed the declara-
ton of the anti-saloon league that a
first choice for any other candidate
than Mead is a vote, directly or indi-
rectly to aid in the nomination of Nc
Bride, the Saloonmen'S candidate"
and that is why it also printed the
statements issued by the anti saloon
league with regard to local candidates
something, by the way. which none
of its competitors seemed to have
had nerve" enough to.

TAFT AND BANK GUARANTY.

Were he a common politician-one

nominee of great party for the great

would unhesitatingly call Taft dishon-

he says speaking of the guaranty of
bank deposits that sit puts a premium
on reckless banking and is an induce
ment to reckless banking" because. he
says relieved of the responsibility to

dency would be to induce exploitation
and the use Of assets of banks in a
speculative way upon the part of the
banker"
Now, how and why should the bank

misconduct of his banks or its funds ,
Who proposes TO relieve him? Because
he and other bankers are required to
