Charles w. Fairbanks, formerly Vice

Christian religion and its churches.
Ideals Not Realized.
Religion has touched the problems
of child labor, better surroundings and
woman labor, but its ideals are a long
way from being realized Religion de-
mands that for the same service a
woman should receive the same wages
as men receive. A people cannot rise

auaintance among public men of national
Already National Figure.

Indeed. his position in the House Of
Representatives and his connection with
the congressional committee made him a
national figure himself, and 1t was rec
ognition of that fact, together with ap-
probation of his own merit and ability,
which made him the logical candidate for
Congress when the vacancy occasioned
by Mr. Loudenslager's death occurred.
The first New Jersey is an important
district, with many demands for atten-
ton from the national government in the
way of improvements of waterways and
construction of public works. Vast in
dustriai plants, employing thousands Of
workingmen, arc located in the district,
which last year went for protection, while
the state went democratic.
Mr.. Browning's long experience In pub
lie affairs and national politics commend
ed him to the republicans when they
cast about for a man to represent the
district at Washington. If he Is elected
he will enter Congress not a new and
unknown man but already possessing the
friendship and confidence of the leaders
Of both parties, and with valuable knowl-
edge of public procedure and the best
