fight for free trade, and foreign
domination. 1t is strange situa-

reduction from the Dingley sched

senate committee increases to be

ANOTHER hereto has raised
sheol, this time among the Bap-
lists of Illinois. AS we under
stand 1t, hereto is one who be-
lieves something the other fellow
doesn't. Prot. Foster, of Chicago
university, is Baptist preacher.
His theological views are Ger
tainly heretical. judged by the
concensus of Baptist opinion.
Under the Baptist system each
church organization is a little re-
public making its own laws and
creeds. usually however paying
deferential respect to the creeds
OF other Baptist churches. The
views of Prof. Foster deny the di-
vinity of Jesus. the Christ. the in
spiration of the Bible, the reality
of miracles and few other little
things on the same line and nat
urally his clerical brethren have
become excited, in fact have de
veloped an unseemingly rage.
Outside of calling him opprobri-
Gus names, which they have done
plenty, we don't see just what
they can do about it until the
little congregation to which he
belongs chooses to disfranchise
him. But aren't heresy trials just
a trifle antiquated1 Half the
most gifted clergymen of today
are rank heretics, judged by the
theologic standards of a century
ago. Perhaps Prof. Fosters,
views may be entirely orthodox
a century hence. And while
epithets, illustrating the christian
charity so much extolled, are be-
ing hurled SO viciously at the
Professor. unregenerates like our
selves may as we'll take to the

DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS.

The Springfield Mass Repub-
lican says: Texas now has a
bank deposit guaranty or insur
ance law which is optional and
allows a choice between a guar
anty fund plan and bonding
company plan. Three or four
days ago a dispatch was sent out
that the banks were hostile to either
plan, and that only one institu
ton in the state had manifested a
disposition to accept any such
arrangement. Now comes the
report that within the two or
three days since the measure he
came a law twenty state banks
have accepted its provisions, all
choosing the guaranty fund plan.
This means, of course, that most
or all of the other banks will also
come in under the act. AT least
FIVE states now have some form of
deposit guaranty, or mutual IN
surance OF deposits, in operation
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ne
braska and one of the Dakotas.
Thus upon so much of the issues
which divided the parties in the
last presidential contest Bryan is
proving the winner and Taft the
loser. The latter strongly de-
nounced the scheme and pre-
sented postal savings banks in
stead. And nothing is now heard
of postal savings banks"

Then she became interested IN

the case. later became their mis-

Considerable of a howl is being
raised in Montrose over the rails
ing of the dog tax to a point that
amounts to a sentence of death
against all the dogs except those
owned by the rich. The real ex-
cuse for the raise is the need of
revenue to offset the loss from
voting the town dry. If Montrose
were able to tax their monuments
to superstition in the shape of
churches the harmless dogs might
be exempted. and still the great
reform permitted. Why is it that
the super sanctihed never offer to
chip in on the additional expense
OF their reform fads9
According to the dispatches
the New York physicians are COM
planning of decreased practice
owing to Christian science, osteo
pathy and other new fads. To our
mind this is very bad confession.
