UNIQUE CHURCH IN ILLINOIS.
Protestants and Catholics Take
Turns in Holding services in 1t.


In the Island park, just west OF
Romeo, on the Chicago drainage
canal, may be seen an isolated
church building that the builders
think stands alone in one of the
most unique church records in all
Illinois.
The digging of the canal caused
the building of the church and the
bywork in an usual church partner
ship. Professionals and Catholics uni
ted in this bit of church work and
have shared the ownership of the
property ever since.
When thousands of men were en-
gagged in the construction of the big
canal, Christian people in the vicini-
ty of Romeo felt the need of build
ing in which to hold church services
where workers might attend church
on Sunday. Both the Catholics and
the Professionals joined hands in rails
ing enough money to build the sane
,
ject was accomplished. Each side
took its turn in holding services and
a number of noted ministers of the
two faiths have preached from the
same little pulpit.
The little structure, standing al
most alone in bit OF woods, seems
to have a charm that guards it
against dissertation of any kind.
Hundreds of fishermen, picnickers
and others pass along the roadway
every day in the week, but in all the
time in which it has stood there not

THE PEOPLE PAY THE FREIGHT

Governor Campbell spoke in Hills
boro the other day, and this is the
account given by the correspondent
of the San Antonio Express:
THE governor first explained
briefly the gambling law, the buck
etshop law and other laws put on
the statute books during his admin
istration and then waded into the
amendment to the full rendition and
automatic tax laws He became elo-
quent at times and aroused the peo-
pie to much enthusiasm. When he
asked any man who wanted these
laws repealed to raise his hand not
a hand went up, but when he asked
the audience if they approved these
laws to raise their hands, it seemed
that every hand in the large audience
went up and they went up with a
shout Hillsboro has one of the lar
gest court rooms in Texas and it was
well filed. This is also the center of
VIC SAVdt bidth, "dAy ldiiu ulSlIlCl
and it seems that there was some OPP
position to the full rendition law,
but since the governors speech to-
day the opposition has crawled back
into its hole. From remarks heard
since the speaking it would seem
that there will be little if any oppo-
sition to the governor in this part
of the county
If the full rendition law can be
impartially enforced, it can not be
reasonably faulted, save only as il is
temptation TO extravaganza. That
last is the danger point in the full
rendition rule, just as it is in indi-
rect taxation. If the tax eaters have
two billions in sight, they are going
to devise ways and means to eXtort
contributions from the people which
they would not dare employ were
there only one billion on the asses
sor's rolls. The fight in this state
must ultimately be right here: the
abolition of useless offices and a re-
duction in governmental expenses.
And the people must learn that they
pay the freight; that there is in re-
ality no shifting of the burden of
taxation. The money that goes into
the state treasury; the money that
goes into the county treasury; the
money that goes into the city treas
ury--it doesn't drop down out of the
clouds, nor is il found at the end of
the rainbow. II comes out of the toll

SOMETHING FOR WHICH TO BE
THANKFUL.

The quadrennial struggle for the
United States is always marked by
great strenuosity and earnestness of
appeal and vigor of expression and
action, but behind the clamor of
contending parties, and the shouting
of the legions and the gruesome pre-
diction of partisan pessmists, great
brings confidence and comfort as
lovers of their country, and that is
that, whatever may be the views of
the candidates upon political and
economic questions, however far
they may diverge one from the other
concerning such matters, the fact
remains that they are always per-
sonally clean-minded men of high
personal character and worthy of
public confidence, says the Houston
Chronicle.
Unlike the position in which the
people of monarchial countries often
find themselves, the American people
do not have handed down TO them
nolens volens their rulers or exc
cutiyes, whom they must take re-
CARELESS OF their intellectual capa-
city or moral character. but they
choose their servants, and they as
a rule require them to be first class
and clean men.
Upon one occasion at a somewhat
famous banquet the late Richard
Coke, the most stalwart of partisan
democrats, in responding TO the
toast THE President of the United
States, said il was a matter Of
pride and qualification to every
American that however widely the
people may divide as to policies and
platforms and candidates, and what
ever they might be betrayed into say
ing in the heat of a political cam
paign, yet the truth was that from
the days of Washington to Benjamin
Harrison (then in office) there never
had been a president of the United
States who not clean-hearted,
high-minded. honorable man.
II seems now as if the people must
choose between William II. Taft and
William Jennings Bryan. The two
men differ widely upon a number of
pending public questions. They rep
resent the extremes of views upon
profoundly important issues, but
they are both patriots, honorable
men, men who love their country,
men whose public and private lives
have been lived along lofty lines.

EXPLORER IN MANCHURIA.
Hardsbips He Suffered in the Wilds
of Northern Sea.

There arrived here yesterday from
the far east a passenger on the
steamer Ashtabula, Frank N. Meyers,
an explorer in the service of the de-
partment of agriculture, who for the
last three years has been ransack-
ing the primeval forests of Asia in
the interest of Uncle Sam and the
people of this country. He brought
back with him a story of adventure
ON hitherto untrodden trails, tales
of hardship and suffering and col
lection of young trees that he be-
lieves will be invaluable additions
to the forces and orchards of Amer
guaranteed immune against any
ordinary kind of cold and able to
whistle tunes. The whistling is Unit
ed States, the tunes Chinese.
Among the agricultural specimens
brought home by Meyer are bamboo
trees of different species, and this
bamboo the explorer regards as the
most valuable part of his collection.
"A lumber famine in the United
State is a certainty said Meyer,
before many years and it will mean
much to the country if before that
[ ime we can introduce the bamboo
ree. The bamboo is the most useful
Tree in the world. 1t grows quickly
and theEe-fs no limit to the purposes
Vpr which 1t can be utilized. In China
the bamboo is used for making stakes
fences, baskets, roof thing, water
pipes, rope and hundreds of other
purposes. The green sprouts of the
bamboo are edible and boiled or
fried are to be preferred, in my opin-
ion, to asparagus.
Meyer also has brought a large
number of ornamental trees, such
as dwarf lemons and spruces. The
monkeys he caught in the noun
tains north of Pekin, where they live
in the snow. He brought them for
the geological gardens in Washing
ton, where the climate has hitherto
proved too trying for the ordinary
monkey. A popularity of these mon
keys is their ability to whistle.
Meyer was treated with the great
est consideration in China, but in
Manchuria and Korea JAPANESE Of
ficials~~put every obstacle that they
dared in his way He was Obliged to
go to Port Arthur for a military pass
port that would take him through
Manchuria! Even his credentials, the
best that Uncle Sam could furnish.
did not entirely disarm Japanese
suspicion.
Meyer was ATTACKED by outlaws
at khabarowsk, in Seberia. One of
them threw bag over his head
while two others grabbed his arms.
He managed to get one arm free.
With this he drew his dagger and
drove the blade through the body of
the man in front of him. When this
man fell the others fled. During the
last three weeks in the wilds he
lived entirely on boiled oats and ar
rived at VlaGivostok in a state of

there are farmers who join in the
common cause to condemn and
stamp out radicalism; and what does
it mean? 1t means that the conser-
this imperial state will no longer toll
crate the legislative policies which
tend TO impede her progress and
dwarf her material development; it
means that the work of commercial
clubs throughout the state by the
concerted energies of their secretar-
les, is bearing fruit, and that their
slogan which has been heralded
abroad and which has received so
much official defiance and criticism,
is being recognized and its merit de-
clared. 1t means the dawning of a
new era of prosperity for Texas, a
restoration of confidence, more lib
eral use Of capital in constructive
development, more encouragement to
immigration, and less self-serving
demagoguery. 1T means that the
people are getting tired of having
the state books inflated with I'M

upon their intelligence and which
subject them to legal ENGAGEMENTS;
which deprive them of the rights of
