WHY PREACHER QUIT

The champion stingy church congre-
cation has been found in Marshalltown
la. The pastor of the Friends church
there resigned when his flock voted to
cut his salary from $1,000 a year to
$500. That was bad enough, the pas
six children to support, and he decided
it was rubbing it in for the church to
demand that he keep account of ell
fees received and credit the amount on
his reduced stipend. He has quit In dis
gust.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 16:-Disap-
proval in varying degrees of Taft,
Roosevelt and Wilson Is expressed by
Senator La Toilette in today's issue
of his magazine. In part he said;
Restraint and understatements
characterized in a degree of weak
ness Governor Wilson's presentation
of the issue. There is, however, no
ambiguity. He frankly announces
and this, doubtless, requires courage
that he believes in tariff for reve-
nue..
"Roosevelt's confession of faith Is
neither the one thing nor the other;
is just Roosevelt. He is forcible,
definite and positive on matters
about which there can be no dispute.
He asserts with the enthusiasm of an
original, principles advanced by pro-
gressives years ago. There Is mill
stone about Roosevelt's neck and
that in itself makes him impossible
as a candidate of a real progressive
movement.
"Taft's acceptance speech is di-
rect appeal to the conservatives and
the President does not recognize the
peoples movement for legislation
which will aid in making the gov
ernment more responsive
