THE FEDERATED
 CHURCH OF NOME

Opening service of the church union in Nome.
 A delightful evening all nature re- splendent with phenomenal brisk air. were the outdoor conditions that char acterizcd the opening of the church federation at the Congregational build ing with Rev. C. II. Baldwin. pastor.
 Congenial Conditions.
 Inside the building large congrega- tion was assembled, the spirit of unity. the warmth of the peoples greetings wee pleasing and noteworthy coinci- dences that could not help but please the young pastor and his wife.
 Rev. Baldwin preached on "The Church in a Democracy" His text was from Ephesians IV.13.. Until We all come in the unity of the faith"
 The following is a mere outline of the sermon.
 our age is an age of organization instead of the thousand wells in the city, we now have one far away roscr- voir, supplying ten thousand homes. Instead of ten thousand candles We have one central electric plant
 In the intellectual realm the city long ago left behind the core of little schools Now this organization move ment has struck the rural districts. Instead Of dozen littl" red school houses, the principle of cooperation has built one central school The in evitable result is a renascence of edu- cation and intellectual enthusiasm in the rural districts.
 Now last of all the organization movement has struck the churches. The people of Nome have fully deter mined upon some form of church that will answer in things moral and spir- itual to the high school in literature and science. The people of Nome realize that il is illogical. pucrile and wicked to duplicate many church plants involving enormous wastes of heat. etc. with lessened efficiency. when one cen- tral church plant could Quadruple the results at ane-quarter the cost. The church is a school of morals and the great simplicitus of Jesus Christ and Christianity are as universal as the axioms of arithmetic and geography. or the laws of gravity in astronomy.
 Someone will argue that church unity is impracticahle and urge that men representing diverse temperaments, but Christianity is a system of universah- ties. It deals with the sermon on the mount and the teaching of the New Testamnnt are no more denominationar than the multiplication table. The principles of ethics are no more Meth odist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian or Baptist and Congregational than the laws of light and heat. The things of God and Jesus Christ are the great essentials. while the unessentiaI things are the things of John CalV'n of the Methodists. John Westley of the Con gregationalists. John Robinson of the Baptists. Roger Williams of the Epis- copal Archbishop Land, These names once eclipsed the great name of Jesus Christ. but now Jesus Christ fills the whole sky.
 These statements are not dreams, they are history. Plans are now being

TWINKLING STARS ARE WORLDS
Revolves Around All the
Fixed Stars.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The twinkling
star whose cold CLEANS pierce the
depths of space is only another world
where beings live and love, feel joy
and sorrow, and then lie down to die.
Life is general phenomenon in the
universe and wherever a star wrinkles
living beings exist, according to Prof.
7. ]. j. See, whose recent discoveries
in cosmical evolution have aroused
wide interest in learned circles
throughout the world. Prof. See, who
is the government astronomer at Mare
Island, Cal, naval observatory, spoke
before the American Philosophical So
ciety.
In outlining his discoveries pertain
ing to the growth of the planets he
laid special stress on the proof now
deduced that planetary systems sim
liar to our own revolve arount all the
fixed stars and that these planets
are habitable and inhabited like the
planets which revolve around the sun.

SOME STRANGE ALLIANCES
Politics is Making Curious Bedfel-
lows in Both House and Senate
These Days.

Washington, D. C.-Politics is max
ing strange bedfellows in the Ameri-
can congress these days. The Demo
Gratis whose personal mission it is to
defeat Taft for the presidency are
solid rank in advocating his pet
policy of reciprocity while the Re-
publicans whose hope is to elect Mr.
Taft are almost as solid a rank
against his economic hobby. Joe Can
mons string opposition to reciprocity
is bringing him into close personal
relations with men who have not
spoken to him for two sessions OF
congress. Underwood, the majority
leader and Mann of the minority,
work shoulder to shoulder for recipro-
city against the old guard of Republic
canism. The divisions on this ques-
ton are almost as paradoxical here
as in the senate.

MEXICO'S REPLY EvASIvE
THE ARTICLE is NOT ALTO

Washington, d. C.-The receipt

President Taft's strong remonstrance
against the conduct of warfare on the
border somewhat depressed the hopes
of the officials who had confidently
expected a completely responsive re-

The reply, according to press re-
ports, is not altogether friendly, and
impeaches the impartiality of Ameri-

The Mexican government, it is said,

CANADIAN AGREEMENT PASSED
Ten Democrats and 70 Republicans
Voted Against the Reciprocity
BiIl-264 for the Measure.

Observation-Disclosures scenes OF
greatest enthusiasm in crowded gal
leries and on the floor, the Canadian
reciprocity tariff pact passed the house
by the decisive vote of 2G4 to SO. Ten
OF the opposing votes were cast by the
democrats and the other 70 by repub-
licans. A majority of the republicans
in the house voted against the meas
ures and the fears of President Taft
were realized, namely that the reci-
procity would go through by demo-
cratic votes alone. At the last minute
the president summoned a group of
republican opponents of reciprocity to
the White House and made personal
appeal to them without avail. The bill
row goes to the senate, where strenu-
GUS efforts are to be made, through
amendments and otherwise to defeat
it Announcements that such was the
plan Of opposing senators were made
during the fight in the house. A poll
of senators shows it will pass the SEN
ate when it comes to a vote.

Joined to stop riding the rods of
trains and loafing at the water tanks
few days ago ]. N. Dolley, state
bank commissioner, received a let
ter from H. H. German, chief special
agent of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, complaining that county at
torneys were not prosecuting hoboes
arrested by the railroad officials for
violating the law by stealing rides on
trains. Mr.. Germain showed that
really desperate criminals got around
10 the places where crimes are COM
mitted by riding as hoboes on trains,
and that often it was impossible to
establish the identity of thieves, bank
robbers and other criminals who are
infesting Kansas at this time. Kan
sas is so prosperous that hundreds
of grafters and thieves are plying
their trade in the state. Mr.. German
suggested that if the bank commits
sioners would join with the railroad
men that thieves and robbers might
be driven out of Kansas.
Mr.. Dolley took the matter up
with Gov. Stubs and the attorney
general and letter was sent by the
governor to every sheriff, county at

marshal of cities asking that they be
vigorously prosecuted.
