.A$6O,OOO CHURCH
Westminster Presbyterians Will
Build This Summer.
New Structure Will Seat 1000
People.
AT THE OLD LOCATION
HuntOOn and College Avenue
the Site.
Church Organized in 1889 by
Forty Presbyterians.
THE OLD LOCATION

Plans are being perfected to build a
church edifice that will seat l,OOo peo-
pie and will cost nearly $4,000 IN the
Washburn college district of Topeka
These plans are being prepared by the
members of the Westminster PresDy- :
terrain church and the final action OF
them will be taken some time next
week.
The southwestern part of the city has
grown so populated in the last few
years that the present church building
of the Westminster PreSbyter1anS mas
been Inadequate. Every Sunday it Is
necessary to turn away many people
who find it impossible to get into the
assembly room.
For many months the members CT
this prosperous congregation with their
pastor, Rev. Ralph Ward, have been
talking of a new church or possibly an
addition to the present building. At n
recent meeting of the members plans
for an addition were rejected. Then it
was practically decided that new
church should be built-a structure
that will seat 1000 people and will cost
nearly $4,000.
The church now is located at the
corner of College avenue and Huntoon
street. A few years ago before the
ElmhurSt district was built up and the
College Hill territory was opened the
Westminster church was considered out
on the edge of town and the congrega-
tons were small.
Now the city has developed wonder
fully in this district and the congrega-
ton has grown every week The
church land has become valuable and
the structure is not large enough to
handle the Sabbath worshippers.
The new edifice will occupy the pres
ent site at Huntoon and College ave-
nue.. Here beautiful corner 150x125
feet is owned by the church.
The history of the Westminster
Presbyterian chuEch reads like the
story of a growing busn ess institution
or a growing city.
Presbyterian church in Topeka, who
| lived in the southwestern part of the
| city, decided it was too far downtown
to the First church. They decided that
| the extra car fare used every week to
attend services at the church on Har-
extra collection in their own city sec
ton.
So they organized a church of their
own-to be called the Westminster
| Presbyterian church. Then Washburn
college came to their rescue and do
mated the present site At this time
| the people who lived in this territory
were considered Sin the country
| Washburn college was "way OUT and
grazing town cows chewed grass on
tWndI is now pavement mOdern homes
and beautiful lawns.
| But the forty faithful churchm en-
built their church-whilc the down
| town people laughed to themselves and
| shook their heads
Seventeen of this Famous Forty are
still living in Topeka They are: Mr..
and Mrs. o. Badders, Mr.. and Mrs. J.

1.-THE White Mans Country"

Under the above caption, the State
says "the truth about the horror at
Coatsfille' and its .signii cance are
beginning to come out. Coatsville
is in Chester County, Pennsylvania,
the seat of a great iron industry, and
recently the owners of the plants
have introduced negro labor into
them, with the exciation of COM
bined race and industrial prejudice as
the result. Therein lies the differ
ence between the race prejudice of
the North an of the Pacific coast and
that of the South.
The Northern white. Man has the
same radical objections to association
with the negro that the Southerner
has, but it is intensified, and in
famed when the negro with his lower
standard of living and Willingness to
accept a cheaper wage becomes his
competitor In the South the ad-
mission of negroes to those kinds of
labor now exclusively controlled by
white men and women would be met
with the same angry and violent op-
position which the iron workers OF
Coatsville and the miners of Spring
field, ILL.,, have displayed toward
them" The State goes on to say
that Northern philanthropists and
newspaper and magazine editors up
braid the South continually about'its
treatment of the negroes, they fly in
to spasms of invective about Sou
thern "peonage," but they give the
negro no chance in +he North.
Even the negro E2rber and hotel
waiter are not welcomed, and the
nero is vigorously excluded from
most of the menial occupations which
he is expected to enter in the South
as a matter of course. In spite OF
the magazine writers and the high
preachers, the North allows its mas
ses of white laborers to meet the ne
groes with brickbats, slaves, hemp
and fire at the border line. III
the exodus of negroes to the North
siall increase, Coatsville and Spring
field lynchings will multiply. Po-
liticalJy, the South claims to be
white mans country, and it makes
the calm good. The North, with
the claim good. The North, with'a
fanfare of trumpets, extends to It's
shrinking of negroes bare and ster-
lie political rights, but in the earning
of a livelihood the North is in fact a
white mans country. 1t is the ne
groe's. starvation country. The ed
ucated and philanthropic North may
write itself blind and preach itself
hoarse, but it can not control or pun
ish Coatsville. There arc Coatsvilles
and they are armed
against an -ldustrial invasion of ne
groes."

Veto of the Wool Bill.

In vetoing the wool bill President
Taft is inconsistent and he will find
it hard to justify his action in doing
so before the people, VIXEN he goes
before them asking endorsement or
his administration by & reelection.
The President says there should be
no revision of the tariff until the tar
iff commission makes it's report. Yet
Immediately after his election, over
two years ago, he called Congress
into extra session to revise the tariff
without any report or advice from a
tariff commission. The revision OF
the tariff made at that extra session,
the President accepted and endorsed
as being the "best tariff law ever
enacted" all except the wool sched-
ule, which defect the bill which ne
vetoes tries to remedy, and which
schedule he admitted to be indefensl-
BILE
Now when the Democrats under
take to remedy the same wool sched-
ule that he said was "indefensible, y
President Taft refuses to let them
do SO by vetoing the bill they passed
for that purpose. 1t is certain that II
President Taft knew two years ago
that the wool bill passed at that time
was 'indefensible," he does not need
to be told now by a tariff commits"
sion that it's revision is desirable.
The veto of the wool bill reveals the
President in his true ce''1rs as an ar
dent defender and abettor of the tar
iff ibarons and the so-called business
interests" in their hold-np of the peo-
pie by means of the tariff laws.
He was perfectly willing to put the
products of the farm OF the free list,
because the farmers are very con-
servative and slow to resentment. Be-
sides, they contribute no campaign
funds. But when it comes to the
Farmers Free List ibill' which Is
necessary to round OUT the equities
of reciprocity, the President alligns
himself with the high tariff Darons
and so-called business interests, and
denies the farmers this measure by
vetoing it. The tariff barons and
the so-called business 7terests puts
up the campaign funIs to corrupt
the voters, and President Taft could
not afford to offend them, so he We
toes all measures that might inter-
fere with their continued robbery
of the people.
The action of President Taft will
not surprise any one who Is familiar
with his past record. He has always
been on the side of the plunderers OF
the people and will be to the end. II
remains to be seen if lie can fool the
people again into reelactiug him to
the high office he holds solely for the
benefit of the high tariff barons and
the so-called business interests. we
do not believe he can.

Keep the Record Straight

The war stories that are being puD-
iished by some Of the daily newspa-
pers are greatly biased in favor OF
the Northern side, and it is little
strange that Southern newspapers
would help in circulating such one
sided tales. Take the battle of Will
sons creek in Missouri, which was
published a few days ago. The sto-
nv made out that Gen Lyon, who was
killed in the action, fought the bat
tie with ouly five Thousand poorly
eouipped soldiers, while the Confed-
crates had an army reported to be
twenty thousand, and with another
army Of twelve thousand soldiers a
short distance away.
Gen Mccullough, who commanded
the Confederates, in his official re-
port says his defective force was s.
800 infrantry, Is pieces Of artillery
and $500 horsemen armed with RI
fles, fNnt-loch !muskets and shot
guns There were other horsemen

When the Chaldean army had With
drawn from the siege, Jeremiah con-
cluded to cast his lot with some Of the
nation living outside the city walls

Jerusalem was honeycombed with

reservoirs for water in time Of drought
or of siege. The bottoms OF these
"cabins," or cisterns, after the re-
moval of the water, were frequently
deep with mud and slime. The next
chapter tells us Of the terrible condl'
ton Of the dungeon into which Jere'
miah was put. We read, "They let
down jeremiah with cords, and In the
dungeon there was no water but mire;
so Jeremiah sunk in the mire." When
finally they drew him out they took
"old cast off clouts and rotten rags
and let them down by cords into the
dungeon to jeremiah" who put them
under his arms and was drawn up by
the cords. In this dungeon the Proph
