GROWTH OF THE NATIONAL
WEALTH.

We shall not know probably for a
year yet what the census will show as
to the wealth of the country for the
year 1910. Undoubtedly 1t will show
not merely a larger increase than for
any previous decade. but a larger per-
centage of increase. New inventions
and processes are adding immensely
and far beyond any previous accretion
Probably the sum total of the taxable
value of the property in the United
States will reach the incomprehensible
figure of s115,0O0, 900. 900. The most

A writer in the London Morning
Post draws some interesting religious
lines in Canada. He says that the
Presbyterians are the richest, the Meth
odists the most popular, but that the
Episcopalians, or. as he terms them, the
Anglicans, are doing the most effective
work in the newly-settled regions The
Presbyterians are mostly of Scotch and
Scotch-Irish descent, and have been
far more successful than the others
I'm getting possessions. The Anglican
priesthood he finds to be a singuIarly
practical and democratic set, and they
are doing very effective missionary
work. They make themselves part of
the common people and can turn their
hands to anything that anyone can do
He found the Bishop of Prince Rupert
busily engaged vanishing the floor of
his cathedral, and his clergy are OF a
similar practical disposition. The Pres
byterians and Methodists confine their
work largely to the cities, while the
Anglicans follow the settlers to their
new homes.

This IS not the first time by any
means that the editor of The National
Tribune has been made to suffer for
his unflinching advocacy Of what he
thinks the rights of the great mass of
the comrades. In the protracted and
bitter fights which he made against the
cruel and unjust practices of Pension
Commissioners Lockren and Evans, the
whole power of the Administration was
arrayed against him and every official
in Washington was in active hostility
He received no countenance or support
whatever from the men who led in the
opposition to him at Atlantic City, but
he was strongly sustained by the rank
and file from the Grand Army of the
Republic thruout the country. These
matters are all fresh In the memory of
the comrades.

The Asiatics are finding out Japan in
a most disagreeable way. After Jap
ans wonderful victory over Russia the
Asiatics of all countries looked upon
Japan as the country which would free
them from the domination of Euro
peans. They are rapidly discovering
that Japan wants Asia for herself, and
that where she succeeds she is a hard
er task-master than the white mon.
Hindoo and Chinese young men rushed
to Japan to study her methods and
arts in order to copy them in their own
country, but Japan speedily saw that
this would be sowing the seeds of
knowledge where she did not want the
plant to grow, and she is throwing all
sorts of hindranees in the way Of for
eigners attending her schools and visit
tnc her factories and workshops.

There are rumors that the issue in

Samuel s. Broadbent, Sd and 5Sth
Mass, New Bedford, Mass, writes that
his old friend, Hon. William S. Greene,
of Fall River, Mass, has been renom-
mated for Congress and will surely be
elected. He has done world of work
for the veterans and interested himself
always in them and their pensions. He
has secured the passage of nearly 100
pension bills many of which have been
waiting long time. He always thinks
it favor to assist a comrade in any

Col. J. Kent Hamilton, who is the
Republican candidate for Congress in
the Toledo (Ohio) district. deserves
the enthusiastic support of all the vet
Grams of that district. He is one who
bravely and unfiinchingIy shared all
their trials, hardships and dangers from
the beginning to the end of the war,
and his heart has been with them ever
since. His ability is second to no mans
and we need his strong advocacy in
Congress for measures for practical
benefit to veterans and their widows.

action of the National Encampment
with regard to pensions he can be re-
lied upon if elected to work in har-

that he will be a constant and reliable

"A LITTLE LEARNING, ETC"

Princeton University, Princeton. n. J.,
is another illustration of the favorite
maxim among our fathers that "A lit
tie learning is a dangerous thing" How
DR.. Wilson with his shallow views of
life and it's duties ever succeeded in
getting to the head of that grand old
PRESBYTERIAN institution is beyond COM
prehension. OF late years the public
has been startled by many queer freaks
in the collegiate world and utterances
by professors in their pride of limited
knowledge that it would seem no SEN
ago Dr. Wilson came into notice by
an iIl-judged speech delivered at New
Rochelle, n. Y, in which he attacked
the education in patriotism of children
in the public schools. Since DR.. Will

Gratis for Governor of New Jersey, Com
rade Robert S. Dana, M. D., Patriotic
Instructor of the G. A. R., has written
him a letter asking him as to whether
he has been reported correctly and IL
this was his attitude toward patriotic
instruction DR.. Wilson's reply is one
that will do little credit to him He

GREAT EVENT
At PITTSBURG.
Dedication of the Superb Memorial
Hall, Which Cost 100000.

Tuesday afternoon, Oct. II. the peo-
pie OF Pittsburg dedicated with appro-
pirate ceremonies the beautiful and
costly Memorial Hall, which had been
erected at a cost of S2.000,000 by the
citizens OF Allegheny County as their
tribute to their gallant sons who so
brayely maintained on land and sea
the integrity of the Nation and freedom
for all men.
Sundays Exercises.
The exercises really began with SER
vices on Sunday afternoon in the big
auditorium These were under the
charge of Rev. T. N. Boyle and Col.
Charles F. McKenna. Mrs. J. Sharp
Mcdonald and quintet furnished ex-
cellent music. Col McKenna in his
dedication WAS consummation OF hap
piness equaled only by the qualification
of the survivors of the war in behold
ing the peaceful and reunited country.
Comrade McKenna made a brilliant re-
view of the part the people of Pittsburg
had taken in all the wars of the coun-
try. mentioning especially Rev. John P.
Clark, pastor of the Second United
Presbyterian Church Of Allegheny, who
in 1862 called meeting in the lecture
hall to recruit men for the army. He
headed the list, raised 10 companies
and was elected Colonel of the regi-
ment, in which position he did great
work and made a reputation for him
self and his regiment. A number of
other men, mostly clergymen, spoke,
and the Rev. DR.. J. Leonard Levy, after
paying a tribute to the G.. A. R., de-
clared that another Grand Army was
needed now to wage war against grasp
ing business and grating politics. Rev.
Dr. Hill said that he war was a relig-

The Dedication.
At II o'clock Tuesday morning a
meeting of the Military Order of the
Medal of Honor Legion was held in
Memorial Hall, presided over by Gen.
Daniel F.. SickIes its President In the
afternoon there was a parade. in which
over 1000 veterans of the civil war took
part, with two regiments of National
Guard, Sons of Veterans and Spanish
War Veterans. The dedication exer-
cises were held In the great Memorial
Hall, beginning at o'clock. Every
seat in the auditorium was filed, and
the big stage was filled with veterans
Gov. Stewart, of Pennsylvania, was
there with his glittering staff, headed
by AdJt-Gen. Thomas J. Stewart; Gen.
Sickles. Commander-in-C Chief Gilman,
Representative John Dalzell A. J.
Birchfield. Chancellor Mccormick, of
the University of Pittsburg, the mem
bers of the Medal of Honor Legion and

Another grievous consequence is laid
at the door of beer drinking. Physi-
Clans find that corn enters more large
ly into the production of beer in this
country every year, and 1t is the in
ferior grade of corn. Corn unfit for
the market or for any other purpose
can be used by the brewers, and can,
of course, be gotten very cheaply. The
result of this is that it gives the fatal
disease of pellagra to many drinkers.
Many physicians are coming to see
pellagra as the result of drinking beer
made from diseased corn

no criticism to make of the respect and
veneration taught our school children
for the Flag of the United States. The
passage from which the quotation was
taken was merely devoted to the plea
that the children, instead of being
taught mere blind reverence,
should be more discriminatory
instructed as to what the Flag

sacrifices to save the country from the
dire distress into which II had been
brought by men of the caliber of Dr.

men of his presumptuous assertion and
narrow views who talked the country

respectful reply to a courteous inquiry

If DIR. Wilson knew more he would

which it is his duty as well as that of
the Grand Army of the Republic to
sedulously watch, cultivate and

that the G. A. r. should question any
man aspiring to public Office as to
