UnifYing the Church.

Attention has been called frequently
in the last few years to the subject of
the unification of the church, and it
has not all been mere talk. Great
Roadway already has been made to-
ward a closer relation between various
Protestant denominations. Creeds
and doctrines are not as generally
magnified today as they were in
former years. Denominational lines
of separation are disappearing, and
where they are not the differences are
not as sharply emphasized.
OF course, it is easy to believe that
this change is due chiefly to natural
evolution that has led the church
along with other agencies of uplift
out into a broader field of reason and
federation. Nor has it been, neces-
sarily, at the expense of orthodox re-
ligion While the present may not be
an age distinguished for doctrlnal dog
matism, neither is it an age of mani
fest unorthodoXy. This unifying of
forces sets a wholesome example to
the world. 1t shows the church to be
more concerned about the fact of re-
ligion than any fiction contrived by
man for it's worship. And this is
progress which gives the churches a
better grip on their claim of serving
divinity.
The more union there is among the
churches the more power they may ex-
pect to WELD over unbelief. The
three branches of the Methodist
church that are coming together are
the Methodist Episcopal, the Methodist
Episcopal South and the Methodist
Protestant They represent respec-
lively 2,SO1,7SS, 1,51S,S54 and 1884,
OF communicates under a church
census taken in 1908. Doubtless all
have made large gains since then. In
addition to these three divisions of
the Methodist ch1Teh there are four
teen others, with aambined member
sip of 1,5G0,O06 uutor the same cen
sus. Probably all mlGlt come in un-
der one head without Icing violence
to the cause Of religion. When num-

Our Business CONSCIENCE.

A New England writer in a current
magazine declares a new conscience
has appeared in our business world,
better than the old conscience. The
old was purely commercial, he says,
conducting business for the money
there was in it, while the new con-
science is philanthTopic and conducts
business for the service ii can render
the community. The old corporation
had no soul. The new one is distinctly
human"
This is refreshing, even though not
entirely convincing, Are the corpora
tions of the present, then, correct in
bewailing the prejudice and hostility
of the public? 1t is possible that cor
porations and business consciences
have never been as bad as they were
pictured, but it is certainly true that
they are not so simple as this writer
contends. 1t would be interesting TO
have list of those corporations in
business for the service they can
render the community. 1t does not
seem necessary to go to such extremes
to show that the business conscience
has undergone improvement.
The writer referred to recalls that
thirty years ago a railroad president
dared thunder The public be
damned" and adds that railroad
presidents are not saying that today.
That is true, and not many were say
ing il thirty years ago. We do find
improvement in the attitude which big
interests have been forced to take
toward the government and the people.
It is an Improvement for which We
have to thank those who possessed
and used the power to bring these

Honorable DISCHARGE

President Taft strikes the keynote
of great truth when, in declining to
sanction a measure for the relief of
soldier "dishonorably" discharged
for cause, he declares, ITO approve
the bill would be to nullify the value
and high character of an honorable
discharge" The special feature of
this case is that 'dishonorably dis
charged" soldiers are not eligible to
pensions, and the man sought to be
benefited here, like others, probably
wanted to be in position at some flu
ture time to receive a pension. II is,
therefore, possible to oppose the meas
ure on principle from the lower level
of monetary consideration, for a pen
sion represents a reward for services
faithfully performed by soldiers hon
orally" not "dishonorably," dis
charged.
But the president considers it from
higher ethical standpoint. He takes
the position that it is not fair and just
to the man who stays through the
heat and burden of the day and
serves his country the best he can, to
place him on no higher plane of merit
than the deserter For the president
to take any other view of the question
would tend seriously toward disorgan-
ization and disaffection in the army
the navy and any other branch of pub
lie service where distinctions have to
be made between the true and the
false, the faithful and the faithless.

Her voice was her own. She went
straightway to a far western city that
sits upon the ocean side There,
though halls and theaters were closed
to her, she found plenty of eager ears
upon the street. Into these she poured
volumes of sweet melody. The peo-
pie cheered, as people do so often
without knowing the inside facts They
did not see the diamonds, but learned
later that the diva did, saw them even
before she began to sing. But the
people saw them, too, when afterward
they learned how valuable the diva s
voice was to a certain business inter
est in front of whose great building
the diva sang.
So when you hear diva sing, look
for the diamonds displayed by those
who listen.

Madison Carwein in New York Times
There's a path that leads to Yesterday
through flowers,
Where the woodthrush is voice Of magic
Where the cricket snaps its fairy whip
for hours
day long
There's a path that leads to Yesterday
through dingles
OF the forest, where the wood pool is
And the sunbeam is a twinkle soft that
mingles
with the gladness of girl who dances
by.
There's a path that leads to Yesterday
with the pearl and purple footsteps Of
the dusk.
Where the first star leaps and flashes,
like a swimmer
on the violet verge of twilight washed
with musk
There's path that leads to Yesterday
that's haunted
with the shadows Of old memories Of
bliss,
And the ghosts of loves that roamed there
once, who counted
Every moment by heartbeat or a kiss
Oh, the path that leads to Yesterday!
Don't you hear It? How 1t calls through
many things!
Through its roses, like tho memories now
falling
And the dreamlike Westward rutterlng
of wings.
on the path that leads to Yesterday
we've started;
Hear It calling with its many whippnor-
Wills
Like the voices Of old happiness departed,
Through the darkness where the moon

A BLUFF THAT FAILED.

Great disappointment will be felt by the
critics of Colonel Roosevelt because the
suit which Governor Baldwin Of Connect
cut threatened TO bring against the colonel
for calling him Tetrogressive on the bench
is off They had delighted to picture the
colonel being brought to justice and taught
some law" as Governor Baldwin put H.;
at any rate, hauled up with a round turn
for his reckless criticism and made to
acknowledge his error But IL now ap-
pears that having had couple Of months

threats OF suits for Islander or libel, his
threat will never be carried out and
Colonel Roosevelt may enter Connecticut
without fear Of being logged by process
servers.
No decision that Judge Baldwin ever
rendered on the bench was wiser than the
one which he has just reached. As the
Tribune showed at the time, the colonel
amply justified his criticism by quoting
Judge Baldwin's opinion in the IloXie case.
In a suit for Islander the judge would not
have had a leg TO stand on, and his suit,
instead OF giving the colonel a little lesson
in law, would have given the Judge a little
lesson. That might have been diverting,
but It would have been supernuous. Gov
ernor Baldwin does not need any lesson in
Law, as his determination not to bring an
action shows,

SIMPLE TREATMENT FOR

Mrs Mae Martyr, authority on health
and beauty, writing for the New York
Herald, says Society women are discard
Ing tace powders and cosmetics and taking
to liquid preparations because powder
tends to stop up the pores and roughens
the skin, running a complexion, while a
good lotion clears the skin and keeps it in
a healthy condition.
The lotion most popular in exclusive
circles is made of spurmax and is pre-
pared by dissolying 4 ounces of spurmax
in y pint of hot water, then adding tea
spoonfuls glycerine This is much nicer to
apply than powder and does not rub off
easily. It is inexpensive, and its use soon
produces a soft and velvety complexion.
Women using this recipe find It splendid
for rough or oily skins as II clears as
well as beauties ADV.

SPIRIT OF THE ARMY.

Chicago Inter Ocean.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
The patent office issued on January 3
patents Nos $50, 356-7-S-9 covering what is
said by competent authority to be a COM
plete system of multiplex telephony, with
all necessary instruments for its operation
fully tested and perfected.
BY this system several conversations
may be carried on at the same time over
one wire, perhaps as many as ten. A sin
gle wire circuit over which two conversa-
tons at the same time are regularly held
is now in operation in Washington, No
other than the attachment Of the necessary
instruments is required nor do the addi-
tional conversations interfere with the
working Of the present instruments.
Another remarkable feature of this in
vention is that the use OF It is absolutely
free to the people of the United States.
Copies of the patents may be obtained at
cents each from the patent office and
anyone may manufacture and use the in
struments without the payment of any
royalty whatsoever.
The patentee is Major George o. squier
assistant chief signal officer of the United
States army. His invention, which he has
spent the last year in developing and per
fecting, was by-product, as II were, of a
research undertaken by the signal corps
into the practicability of wireless tele-
phones.
Holding, with that high sense of honor
which characterizes the American army,
that 1t would not be proper for him to
profit in a pecuniary way by an invention
made in his capacity as an officer Of the
army, Major Squier has taken out patents
only that he might have due credit In the
annals OF science, and has thrown his in
vention open to unrestricted public use.
