was not unlike those which have pre-

of the great chorus choir and made
the song service inspiring. The solo

Strong men responded. To many this
was the best service of the meeting,
and conviction came to many who have
given this important question very
little consideration.
If you are failing to attend these
services you are making great mis-
take. The end is rapidly drawing
near, and you, perhaps are neglecting
your last opportunity and your own
verdict may be, The harvest is past
and | am not saved. The service will
continue each night this week.
On Friday night, short service will
be held beginning promptly at TOO
in order to give all who wish, an op-
portunity to attend the session of the
teachers convention, which will be in
our midst at that time.
Many of the teachers will be glad
to attend the revival and will be Civ
en- glad welcome at the service.
Come at the usual time, 7:30 tonight,
and then be sure to remember to
come promptly at 700 Friday night.

GARFIELD WILL FIGHT
ADMINISTRATION POLICIES

Columbus, o., March 24.-Great In
terest is manifested in the speech
James r. Garfield will make before
the Tippecanoe Club of Cleveland
next week. 1t is said Garfield will
attack the Taft administration and
declare he cannot run for governor
on a platform embodying Taft prin-
ciples and not Roosevelt policies. He
has decided on this, it is said, since
the publication of charges made in
regard to his record as state senator
years ago.
These charges at first were attribut-

forms one of the most sensational de-
yelopments in the states badly mud

months.

Investigation as to why the board
of Capitol managers have consti-
tuted themselves into board of
maintenance. AS board of
managers their work shnuld have
been finished in 1904 when they
asked the Legislature for the sum
OF $50, 674. IA for the purpose of
completing the building, giving
at the time an itemized statement
of unfinished work. In 1907 the
board again asked the Legislature
for $73, $40. 81 for the completion
of the building attaching the usu-
al itemized list. In 1909 this same
board bobbed up again asking for
$144, 236. 88 this time making no
mention of completion. Thus it
it is seen that the boardof mana
gers now constitutes its self into
a board of maintainence. The
law very clearly states that the
board of managers shall cease to
exist when the building is COM
pleted and that the Secretary of
State shall be custodian and the
official responsible for maintain
ence. !" Accountant Arthur Hull
in reporting to Secretary Pearce
finds that the appropriations were
used for other accounts and ex-
penditures not mentioned in the
reports; considering the appro-
priation of 1907 he reports that
it contains a number of items
that the previous appropriation
of 1905 should have covered.
We wish to congratulate Secy.
