Steady Decrease in Friends
Church Causes Church
to Take Action.

The steady decrease in the number
of members of the Friends church in
the middle west is just now coming
to the attention of the Quakers in this
district. Some of the eastern Friends
who have come here to attend the
Friends Summer school suggested
that this situation was a reality, and
the local people at once started to plan
campaign for regaining their lost
members. To this end, committee
has been selected which represents
the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa. Richmond was honored by
being given a representative on the
committee, Miss Edith Winder being
selected as one of the two delegates
from Indiana. Tie, other members are
Mrs. Ida w. Keever, of Centerville,
Indiana; Miss Florence Clark, of
Cadiz, O.; Griffith E: Cole, of West
Liberty, Iowa, and Mrs. Gertrude
Shinn, of Fairbury, I'll. This commit
tee is expected to meet once year
at the time. of the yearly gathering.

der the direction Of. this committee
will assist them in looking after the
needs of the church. The reports
show that. although the Friends are
decreasing in numbers here. the inter.

enthusiastically maintained by those
who continue as members of the
church, and it is hoped that the church
membership will reach normal figure
after this committee has had chance
to do a little work.

NEW YORK, Aug 17-"Nobody

This was the keynote of an editorial
by Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt

Colonel Roosevelt defended his
course, declaring that it was not his

of the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM

In part the Colonel says:
MY concern was that the action be
taken and the situation saved in the
interest of the people The
question was Of saving the plain peo-
pie Not a single bank or

interests were the only interests
which retained full hold on the con-
