When Teddy Comes Marching
Home" is the latest vaudeville song.
Whether or not President Taft
whistles or huns the tune, dispatches

One hundred thousand dollars were
raised in one day by the congrega-
ton of the First Methodist church in
Seattle. to wipe out q mortgage of
$75, 800, and the balance will be used

hypocrites, fanatics and poltroons.
