In no city or country in the world
are the christians ina majority. The:
men outside Of the church control the
courts and the legislatures. but the
progress which has been made is due
to the direct and indirect influences OF
christianity. The church has often:
been at fault and in some things 1t is
to blame today; but no matter how
dark the age. the church has always
been the whitest light in history and
when reform came to the church; it
came from within and NOT from with
out. To quote from the significant
resolutions passed by the great church
conference in Phila delphia, represent
ing nearly twenty million members,
the attention Of workingmen should
be called to the fact that
"The institution. OF a day Of rest
secured for the toilers of christendom
by the very charter Of the church has
been defended on their behalf by it
throughout the centuries;
THAT the streams of philanthropy
which supply a thousand needs have
their springs, for the most part, in
christian devotion;
'"That the fundamental rights Of
men upon which rest the pillars of
this mighty group Of commonwealth
are a heritage from the conscience
and conservation @of men who &C
knowledge Jesus Christ as master; -
That the free ministrations to the
community on the part Of tens Of
thousands of churches attest the pur-
pose Of the followers of Christ;
'"That the church, while it may not
have accepted the task of announc-
ing an Industrial program, is at heart
eager with the impulses Of service and
is more than ever ready to express
the spirit Of it's Lord;
. THAT in the quest for the forces by
which the larger hopes of the work.
1ngmen Of America: may he most
of the industrial world can better
speedily and fully realized, the leaders
afford to lose all others than those
which are today and have been for
nearl ytwo thousand years at work in
the faith, the motive and the devotion
of the church of Jesus Christ
OF course twill be said hN the So
cialist that he is going to eradicate
the necessity for philanthropy and
very much that the church is doing
today and has been doing throughout
the ages. But even in this respect
the church has done more than So
cialism. However, in the meantime, it
has been. trying to alleviate the suf-
ferlngs of mankind. While the world
has been getting ready to- take an
official step in the matter Of securing
q larger measure of Justice for the
workers, the church has been minis
tering to those who. have fallen by
4! the wayside. It has brought. COM,
fort to the sorrowing and relief for
the suffering.' In this: task it has
unquestionably> been without a peer in
all history and for this work the
church, in. all fairness, should receive
due credit. Not that it cares for it
particularly, nor is it demanding such
recognition, but in an unbiased con-
sideration Of the whole subject these
facts should be reckoned with.

EMPLOY. THE J0B[Ess
Central Labor Body of London,
Ont, Runs Successful Toy Fac
tory for Unemployed.

sIONDON, Ont, March 25.-The toy
factory established by the London
Trades and Labor Council has already
proved its worth and afforded means
of relief to many of the deserving
who have been out of work for: long
periods Of time. The department of
these employees has been eminently
satisfactory to. the management. The
prediction that; they would be careless
in regard to their work has not been
borne out by the facts. with Dos
sibly only one exception every indi-
vidual has put spirit into his task,
and has labored intelligently and con-
scientiously. 49,.
Start New: Factory.
The management has started to
manufacture 500 toy locomotives. The
length is two feet. It is a tigh-grade

prominent window in the business

featured in the factory, including the
twelve medal 5'wheels-2pon which. IT

cars of smaller and cheaper grade, as
well as 500 miniature stoves. Other
smaller and cheaper toys will also be
turned out. A supply Of ironing boards

a good price,

Following are some Of the rules for

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
Utterly ImpractieabIe.

Congress could not If it wished to
create a tariff commission with power
to change the rates of duty from time
to time. It would be delegating the
taxing power Of congress. It certainly
would not do it, and in all probability
the attempt to do 1t would be uncon-
stitutional.
The subject comes up again through
correspondence between Mr.. Campion,
| of Philadelphia, and the. president
elect. According to the Record of that
city, MIR. Campion wrote to Mr.. Taft
that he thought a tariff commission
changing the rates Of duty at frequent
intervals would paralyze business. Mr..
| Taft replied that the commission he
had expressed his approval of was not
to levy duties; but what he had in
| mind was "some commission of ex-
perts in the government who shall keep
track of the varying costs of produc-
ton of the numerous articles in the
tariff. The great trouble about the
tariff is the difficulty Of obtaining a
| knowledge Of the facts, and think we
ought to have experts to do It."
Such commission would be entire
ly impracticable. Mr.. Taft is mis-
taken If he thinks the great trouble is
| the difficulty of obtaining a knowledge
of the facts. The great difficulty is
the persistence Of self-interest in
fighting for all it can get. No manu-
facturer would admit a statement of
the costs OF production that should
I show his protection to be excessive.
Mr.. Schwab has hedged on his own
statement of the cost OF making steel
Mr.. Carnegie knows as much about the
steel business as anybody, and he says
it needs no protection. He said very
nearly that while he was in the bust
| ness. But most of the steel men re-
fuse to admit 1t. -,
The manufacturers do not disclose
their costs for production. The ways
and means committee in its recent
Bearings made no effort to get at the
costs Of production, which involves a
statistical inquiry. It simply listened
to what manufacturers said about: the
amount Of protection they thought
they ought to have. In the clamor Of
self-interest the facts have no chance.
| II a commission could ascertain the
Facts congress would not listen to It.

DRY FARMING POPULAR
The Theme is One for Popular Dis
cussion Among the Farmers in
Montana.

Billings, Mont, June H.. Every
body is talking dry farming" said
Prof. A. Atkinson, the Montana rep
resentatiye on the executive commit
tee of the National DRY Farming Con-
gross, to a Billings rsia rtcr r9caltlp.
Continuing he said, II nave iust ne
turned from a trip covering the
tire mileage of the Chicago. Milwatj-.
kee and st. Paul railway in Montana,
and | find that this subject is beia
discussed more than any other. Bust
ness men, travelling statesmen. NOR
chants and farmers are an discuss
ing the very helpful cfoec That tile
development Of this particular SIS
of agriculture will have on Tie on
tire West. We heard thcm say when
the ranges became exhausted and he
bands of Sleeps and hcarls of c 5tle
had to be reduced that the west was
about done for With the develops
ment of this d. ilnd farming. they
realize that we VIII soon have d much
greater west than ever existed the
palmiest stock days, with The n
advantage that tie pulsuie VIII nc
permanent.
The confdeneo which Nu
men have in the future dlv farrsfag
is practically illustrats a by he Il
investments they are making in now
towns along the different railroads Of
the state. Many of these will be
wholly dependent upon the dry farm
ing country surrounding and these
business men must be convinced OF
the safen SIS of dry farming or else
they would not invest their money.
From my observation and study
of conditions through the west I am
convinced hat the investments are
safe. Dry farming has succeeded in
other states, and with the timely dis
tribution of rainfall, and the heavy
natural sod which makes moisture
holding soil, Montana has a sure and
brilliant future. The United States
is just coming to realize that they
have the most valuable resources in
their dry farming lands"

Possibilities Shown in Hogs

The possibilities of properly di-
rected scientific effort in the control
of disease in animals have beer am
ply demonstrated by the United States
government in the work that has been
done during the last twenty-five years
by the department of agriculture in
protecting hogs, cattle, and domestic
fowls from the many pests which for
merly were so fatal to these animals,
and the millions expended by the gov
eminent in this work have been re-
turned many times in the form of in.
creased profits to the farmers and
stock raisers and have added inn
m%ensely to our national prosperity.
The problems of the control of
the diseases of mankind are not very
different from the problems of the
control of the diseases of beasts. The
government undertook the matter of
protecting the lives Of its hogs and
cattle because the people demanded
it. When the people demand it, it
will also undertake to protect the
lives of its citizens. The medical
profession has for years been plead
Ing for governmental aid in their eff
forts to prevent ~preventahle disease.
1t has pleaded to deaf ears.
preventive medicine becomes
more nearly an exact science all the
time and while its possibilities are far
from being realized, this is not be-
cause of its own ineXactness or short
comings, but because the people have
not yet awakened to the fact that
those diseases which cause the great
est number of deaths and the great
est amount of suffering are actually
p%reventable, if money enough is spent
to prevent them. The only way to en-
list all the people actively in the cru
SADIE against preventable disease is
to present the subject as an econo-
mic one, which it surely is, and one
which appeals directly to their
pocketbooks."

DIR, COOK AND THE NORTH POLE.

(1he Times, Thursday, September p
Yesterday afternoon London was startled
by some very surprising news. A telegram
from the Shetlands informed us that, while
everybody here has been looking to the
Antarctic regions, a quiet American Explorer
has reached the North Pole and has got
safely | ack again. The evidence Of course
is as vet very Incomplete, but it has the
appearance of bona fdes, and the previous
record of the explorer, whose II me, II the
story is confirmed, will be enrolled among
the worlds great men, is DIR. tREDERIK Al
BERT Cook. a native of the State OF New
York, president of the Explorers Club, at
one time surgeon of the Peary Arctic eX-
pedition, and at another surgeon Of the
Belgian Antarctic expedition. He has also
explored the mountnin regions of Alaska, and
written a lively book about them, which was
reviewed in these columns last November.
Such a maj is primd tacie not likely to ms
lead the world about bis achievements.
When he telegraphed to his wife Success
ful " and to the Director of a Belgian OO-
servatory that he had reached the North
Pole on April q, 1908; and when a high
Danish official Telegram his iii the same sense
from the steamer at Lerwick, which had Or.
Coon on board. we are bound to accept the
statements as serious. If by any chance
further Investigations were to show thnt III.
Cook had been mistaken IN his latitude
and had not quite reached the mysterious
SPOT after which PEABY and NANsEN ana
WELLMAN have striven in vain, there would
be a reaction in opinion that not even Tile
most hardened explorer would like TO race.
Some details of the early stages OF DR.
Cooks expedition are gwen Ill the IeUCef
written from~N Newfoundland aslong back as last
october. which we print this morning.
From this, and from our teleg ans from
New York, it appears that the last stages OF
The expedition were more or less OF the ma
, 1909-10-09

ture Of a dash. The Newfoundland writer
ends on m Qlmost tragic note, and speaks Of
the death Of DE-. COOK as being quite within
the bounds of11possibility. He has been more
fortunate; but he appears to have had even
more than bis full share of hardship His
expedition was on n small scale, as compared
with those of PEARY and NANsEN in the
North, and of CAPTAIN Scorr and LIEurE-
NANr SHAckLEroN in the South. He has
been literally lost to the world for eighteen
months. Now he happily reappears; and we
sincerely trust that within a very short time
he will have told the full story Of his mo-
mentous journey, and have produced evil
dence enough to make scepticism impossible.
