The question arises, could not Rev.
Grim, ''pastor of the Christian
Church" of Ellensburg, Wash, do
more for Christianity by keeping out
Of politics? Does such entanglements
become any minister whose life has
been ordained to the service Of God?
The Christian church of which Mr..
Grim is the local pastor at Ellens-
burg, lays claim to pure and thor
ough religion, free from creed, taking
the New Testament, and all Of it, as
its sacred guidance; its organism from
the beginning has been one of temper
ance and liberality, to the extent that
the New Testament is liberal. 1t has
been the design of this religious or
ganization, during more than half
century of its existence, to build itself
up in popularity because Of the fact
that the Bible alone was its guide.
The ordination service Of this sect is
a sacred service, and he who re-
ceives it is presumed, by the best
Christians in the organization, world
wide, to devote his life sacredly, de
voutly and seriously to the teaching
Of the Word of God, wherever and
whenever opportunity affords. While

Protecting Your Boy.

Down in Boise the other day the
police force discovered a bar tender
selling liquor to a minor. 1t was a
simple glass of beer for which the boy
paid 5 cents. The bartender was
Immediately arrested and fined 5000,
placed in Jail for 80 days and the
license Of the owner of the place re-
voked, and his money turned into the
city treasury. This is as it should be.
Men who will sell liquor to minors
should not only lose their position
but they SHOULD pay penalty to the
government where the offence is com
mitted, and undergo penal servitude
for the infraction of the law, and the
proprietor Of such place, with all
his money invested in furniture and
fixtures, should simply be cast aside
and not permitted, as was the case
in Boise, to engage further in the
law-breaking business.

Could Mr. Roosevelt Refuse2

In the face Of his statements that
he is not candidate, the fact remains
that Mr.. Roosevelt is being discussed
as the man best fitted to lead the Re-
publican party to victory next year.
The talk is heard in Washington and
in the East and West. Skilfm politi-
clans are thinking about it and the
men in factory and in field are talking
frankly about it.
This has come about in various ways.
In the first place, Mr.. Taft's faint
hearted utterances about his own
chances, made public at various times
and places, is virtually an invitation to
every lover of success TO nominate a
candidate who can win or who at least
believes he can win. If Mr.. Taft has
doubts about his own election he sure
ly cannot blame the rank and file of
his party for sharing in his doubts.

answer is Roosevelt
Nobody is to blame for the present

velt's position cannot be criticised, but

I hate TO read Of millionaires,
Because such reading seems
To hypnotic me utterly
And start me dreaming dreams.
How many times I've figured out
What I'd be apt to do
II ! were in that fellows place
And had a million, too
OF course, I'd use my fortune well,
More sensibly than he,
For I'd give 10 per cent. at least
To worthy charity.
Another 10 per cent. would 60
To help along few
OF my deserving relatives
Whose bills are overdue.
And then my duty to the church;
OF course, a goodly share
Say 25 per cent. or So
Would be devoted there.
I'd give this latter quietly,
Insisting that my name
Must be withheld, that none might know
Whence this donation came.
I'd only let the pastor know
He'd have to know, you see
Because my name upon the check
Would show it was from me.
Another 25 per cent.
Would do myself and wife;
The income we'd derive from that
Would keep us both for life.
Then after that-well, after that
I'd dream away and plan
To spend still other 10 per cent.
To help my fellow man.
And finally my dreaming gets
A bit confused, and then
take tumble and my feet
Touch solid earth again.
And common sense assures me, as
1t stops me with jerk,
I've wasted time enough to do
A dollars worth of work.

CURRENT COMMENT
Hardwick,s Railroad Possibilities.

Those acquainted with the railroad
situation as related to transportation
of granite at Hardwiek, VT, know that
ii has always been placed at quite
disadvantage compared with other gran
lite producing centers in the district, so
that the prospect of connecting link
between the Montpelier & Wells River
and the St. Johnsbury & Lake Cham
plain railroads, with junction points at
Marshfield and Hardwick on the new line
is hailed with very great satisfaction.
A line between Hardwiek and the Mont
pelier & Wells River road, distance
Of little more than twelve miles,
would do away with some heavy grades,
and possibly mean saving of some
days time for the Boston & Maine in
getting its heavy granite tonnage on its
way to the West over its own tracks.
The new line would not only secure bus
mess to the West from the steadily
growing output of Hardwick, but would
also tap granite deposits in Calais and
Woodbury. which have been awaiting ia
yorable shipping facilities for their de-
velopment. The Boston & Maine have
been studying and working up data for
this project for some time and the gran
lite interests of Hardwick are hopeful
that the revival of railroad activity may
mean business.--The Monumental News.
