He is quoted as saying that lin
striking contrast with the method of
Jesus is the method of organized re-
ligion today The church has always
had parasitic tendencies. Even in
this free democracy, it has from the
beginning until now been mixed with
politics in which it's founder was new
err involved. The mayor OF New York
announced true Christian idea when
he proposed that church property be
made subject to taxation There can
not lie an absolute severance of
church and state so long as there is
ecclesiastical exemption from taxation
or any other recognition of ecclesi-
astical privilege by the state"
In this connection, and just at this

MOVE TO TAX ALL
CHURCH PROPERTY
ATLANTA is CONSIDERING THE
ER-MAYOR GAYNOR
ALSO FAVORS 1T.
e Atlanta

The following, from the Atlanta
Journal, is of general interest:
To tax church property exactly as
ali other property is taxed, is the lat
est proposition that has been called
to the attention of Mayor CORTLAND
Winn. 1t comes in the form of d let
ter from Frank Hart, of Doylestown,
Pa. citing the mayor to the fact that
recently Mayor Gaynor, of New York,
and Mayor Reyburn, of Philadelphia,
have come out strongly for it, and
that the movement is spreading to
many other large cities.
Mr.. Hart, who appears to be prom
inently connected with the move
ment, employs the argument that alb
solute enforcement of church and
state is not possible so long as church
property is exempt from taxation,
which is now practically the univeI-
sal custom in this country Many
ministers throughout the country are
beginning to see the force of this ar
Snment, the mayor is informed, and
as instance the remarks of DR.. Os-
car Haywood, an eminent Baptist di-
vine, OF New York are cited.

The American dearly loves a SEN
sation. and the bigger and more blood
cnrdling 1t is the better. Nothing is
more gratifying on arising in the
morning and sitting down to partake
of daintily served breakfast than to
glance hurriedly over the front page
of ones fayorite newspaper and see it
covered with startling headlines. It
matters little what has happened dur
ing the night to shock the community.
SO long as it satisfies ones appetite
for sensational news. It can be q
fatal conflagration. fearful railroad
wreck. a gigantic bank robbery, hor-
rtble murder. or even a scandalous
divorce case. All one asks Is that 1t
be something big, with column after
column of narrowing details. The
newspapers are fully alive to what Is
expected of them. but 1t Is not always
easy to supply the demand There
are times when the metropolis Ian
guishes for news Of any description
There are no disastrous fires, trains
run without mishap. burglars go on
vacation. society leaders act with de-
corumin word the city Is deadly
duh. Further consideration Of the
tariR remains the most thrilling topic
the newspapers can find to write
about

WOULD save TOWER
chicagoans Protest Against Raz.
ing of Historic Landmark.
Great Pile Of Masonry Which Sur
vived the Disastrous Fire Of 1871
Worry Rich in Romance and
Tradition.

Chicago-ShAll the oldest landmark
of the north side, spot rich in tradi'
ton and romance, the only remaining
monument of the time OF Chicago's 8
victory in her greatest struggle for
life, be prCfaned by city's CONNER
cialism and destroyed in the name of
economy?
Shall the silent sentinel Of stone,
the ivy-mantled tower where sweet
hearts were wont to meet. where chill
dren played and heard wondrous sto-
ries of other days, be reduced to a
shapeless mass of stone and scattered
all over the city.
! Is 1t not possible to preserve the
picturesque gray tower Of the old Chi
cago avenue pumping station to pos
terity to serve as memorial of the
great fire of 1871?
These are a few of the questions
raised by scores of Chicagoans who
had read of the plan to tear down the
tower Of the Chicago avenue pumping
station in the interest of municipal
economy. This ancient landmark
stands at the foot of millionaire row."
North of the famous old structure are
the homes of the rich. Since 1867 the
tower has stood as constant re-
minder Of the permanence of the work
of the city's founders.
Members of the Chicago Historical
society joined In the storm OF protest
against tearing down the tower They
were unanimous in the sentiment that
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1911-07-06

:hia landmark should be preserved
and made one Of the show places Of
Chicago.
When Chicago began to burn, the
evening Of October 8; 1871, terror
stricken citizens fed north to the
tower in the belief that the fire would
be confined to narrow district The
following day the fire reached the
tower and roared about its base, de-
stroying the machine shop and ada.
cent buildings. The pumping engines
were stopped and the walls Of the en-
gtne house began to crumble. The
roof and floors Of the other buildings
gave way, but the tower stood firm
while the flames raced northward.
The great pile Of masonry was pre-
served when repairs we're made. and
since that day has been rich In tradi-
hon and romance.
Many stories of tho tower deal with
the romances Of some of the richest
sons and daughters Of Millionaires'
row. An eloping couple is said to
have been married at the top Of the
tower. In the days Of old thousands
Of young men and maidens wandered
up the stairway to the summit to
plight their troth.
The doors Of the tower were locked
long ago. The only magic key that
will unlock the door is in the keepinx
Of the city authorities.
The city authorities hold now that
disintegration has begun ana that the
tower must go. This theory IL denied
by members Of the Chicago Historical
society, who declare that the tower
was built to stand 10000 years and
that there is no danger OF its crum-
bling for generations. Hundreds OF
visitors gaze In ave at the old tower
every day.

QUESTION OF RECOGNITION
 OF ARCTIC EXPLORER PEARY
Discussed by Naval Affairs Sub Committee-Peary to Be Invited to Furnish His Proofs of Pole Discov- cry by the House.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Captain Peary will appear before the house commit tee on naval affairs tomorrow to an- swer questions concerning his polar achievements. A subcommittee met today and discussed the question of recognition of the explorer by act of congress, particularly the bill intro duced by Representative Bates of Pennsylvania. to retire him as naval constructor, with the rank of rear admiral.
 The meeting of the sub- committed was lively one. MT. Bates moved to report his bill fayorably to the house, measure that gives the ex- plorer the emoluments of rear admi- ral dating back to the time he claims to have discovered the Pole. MT. Macon of Arkansas, who has been prlming himself for his attack on the Peary legislation, immediately object ed. He said that if Peary were to be recognized, then Dr. Frederick A. Cooks claim to attainment of the Pole also should be recognized, for the one had corroborated the other and the story told by the two was alike in im- portant particulars, especially around the Pole.
 MT. Macon denounced what he re- garded as the failure of Commander Peary to produce any proof of his dis covery.
 Various bills were discussed, and the result was an invitation to Peary to appear and furnish his proofs and a notice to the secretary of the navy Of the invitation to Peary.

MUST DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR IN WEEK BEGINNING MARCH f2, Chester S. Jordan of Somerviile, Mass,
 Killed His Wife.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 6.-ChestcF $. Jordan of Somervi1le, convicted of murder in the first degree for killing his wife, Honora, in Septen1ber. 1908, was sentenced to be electrocuted dur ing the week beginning March 12 next by Judge John C.. Bell in the superior criminal court late today Jordan was not visibly affected by the pronouncing of the sentence, None of his relatives was present, but the court room wRs filled with lawyers and a crowd of the curious.
 Contrary to expectations, Jordans attorneys did not ask for a stay of sentence in order that they might take the case to the supreme court of the United States on a writ Of error.
 Jordan, following a quarrel with his wife, killed her by beating her over the head with a f1atiron. He then cut up the body with a knife and put the parts fin a trunk which he intended to throw overheard from a steamer. A cabman whom he had hired to carry the trunk became suspicious and noti fled the police, who found Jordan in 8 room at a lodging house in the West End of Boston, and on opening the trunk discovered the dismembered body. Jordan was convicted in May, 1909. and last week the supreme court of Massachusetts overru1ed exceptions taken by the defense.

OHIO VOTE SELLING,
 WEALTHY MEMS DAY,
Were Dealt With More Severely Thar
 Poorer Fellow Citizens

West Union, O., Jan. 6.-This was the day for stragglers and wealthy men in the Adams county corruption probe. Those classed as such were dealt with more severely by Judge Blain than their pooer fellow citizens, who voluntarily admitted selling their votes.
 John Cooper wealthy man, wa. brought in by a. deputy. He was found to have disposed of his fran cl1ise for $2, whereas others not so rich have confessed that they receiv- ed as high as $25. Cooper was assess ed the highest penalty that Judge Blair has given thus far, a $250 fine and five years Acknowledgement.
 A younger man, a distant relative Of Coopers and bearing ethe same name, but against whom no accusation had been made, was arrested by mis- take. He was about to be dismissed when he startled the court by confess ing that, while perhaps he was not the man sought, he was equally guilty. Judge Blair thanked him for his hon. esty and fined him the minimum of $5 with five years disfranchisement.
 Philip HarTin, a farmer, worth $40, = 600, was fined S100 and costs and dis franchised for having contracted to deliver the votes of his two sons and his son-in-law. The sons were fined $25 each and the son-tn Jaw sS30. and all were deprived of their vote for five years.
