FOR A MONUMENT.

In Pennsylvania, Maryland and New
bringing pressure to bear upon Con-
gress to use the 100000 appropria-
ton for a Lincoln memorial for a road
from Washington to the battlefield Of
Gettysburg instead Of a monumental
structure at the capital. where the
great war president did his immortal
work.
Were the question submitted TO a
vote of the people. it Is safe to pre-
dict that Aine-tenths OF the voters
would pronounce in favor Of the monu-
ment. That would not be a vote
against a good road to the famous bat
tlefeld for such a project should be
realized But IT would be an empha-
tic pronouncement against exploiting
a not unusual piece Of road building
as a memorial to Abraham Lincoln,
than whom no man born for centuries
merits a monument more appropriate,
beautiful and inspiring. Fine stretches
OF highway will be numbered by the
thousands within the next few years.
Incidentally. the two states which
want the federal monument appropria-
ton diverted to a good roads project
within their boundaries might seem TO
be keener about a unitarian interest
Of their own than about a memorial
10 Lincoln. Why not do their own
road making?

BETWEEN TAFT AND T. r.

The Boston Post. discussing the poll
teal situation in the Republican par
~. reaches the conclusion that the
contest for the nomination now lies
between President Taft who is a cam
didate and Colonel Roosevelt. who
has not declared his position. with the
odds In favor of the denomination Of
the president From now on the bat
tie is between the forces OF Taft and
Roosevelt, with the odds at present in
favor Of Taft" says the Post. "The La
Toilette boom is shrinking day by day;
those believed to be his friends are
publicly repudiating him, and this is
to the presidents advantage. for La
Toilette had I'm him the possibility OF
a dangerous antagonist. There are no
longer any seriously considered Re-
publican candidates but William III
Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, the for
mer holding the best position, both be-
cause Of the prestige of possession and
because the Roosevelt men have not
been assured that they have can
didate at all. They think they have.
OF course. else why this tumult and
shouting? But they cannot depend up
on the colonel. How do they know
that he will not one fine day suddenly
knock their underplnnings out by alb
solutely declining to go ahead? Any
thing is possible with T. r. But it is
safe to expect one of the most inter-
esting contests ever waged for Re-
publican nomination for the presiden-
cy. 1t may become more than that

SHOULD NAME A WINNER.

There has been widespread and at
times acrimonious discussion OF late,
rising to its acme of intensity I'm the
last week, as to who shall be the Re-
publican candidate for president this
year. A vast amount of partizanshlp
has developed for or against this. that
or the other man. which threatens to
split the party, or at least become the
source Of dangerous discord.
The real issue is bigger and broader
than the consideration OF the political
fortunes of any man. II is: Who can
win at the polls In November?
This should be the controlling con-
sideration, the dominating thought
No mans claim on his party is so big
as to Justify for one moment overlook
ing this vital, controlling issue.
The election Of 1912 is going to be no
wolkover for the Republican party. In
walk-over years it may be possible to
play favorities, or TO stand on the nice
ties of the candidates fitness for the
job. The year 1912 will permit no in
diligence in such considerations. The
party must meet the biggest fight 1t
has ever tackled. AS 1t looks today.
| the odds are against ~
Under such considerations. and If the
party means anything TO itself. the
Fiair duty Of the leaders is to name a
candidate with whom the party can
win-with whom II will have the hes,
chance to carry the country.

CHURCH ADVERTISING.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

THE churches should seek to OBJ
papers in every way possible, and the
minister or advertising manager of the
church should be willing to go TO con-
siderable trouble, in order. to make the
most of the opportunity of having the
newspaper give the church and it's
work the widest publicity"
This falls strangely upon newspaper
ears. because it is so different. Yet II
is from minister and a Presbyterian
at that, the Rev. Charles Stelzle best
known. maybe, for his interest in and
sympathy with labor. He believes the
churches should advertise as well as
ANY business enterprise and much in
the same way.
He would have them use window dis
plays. street cars, the mails, calendars,
electric signs. and even bill boards
against which most ministers, have q
strong prejudice, though these same
ones probably have bill boards for their
exclusive use at or near their build
ings.
But first of all Mr.. Stelzle advises
the use Of the daily newspaper in the
same way they are used by merchants
and to get the most for the least ex-
pense, he gives the advice quoted
which is the opposite of the method
most in vogue.
There is a reason for this vogue
that has almost become a part of min
tisterial ethics. This is that to follow
Mr. Stelzle's advice would be, IL is felt

STATE POLITICS.


Whether one approves of IL or not,
one thing was accomplished by Cover
nor Osborn's speech AZ Lansing when
he attacked the record OF Senator La
Toilette and asked both him and Pres
ident Taft To withdraw That was
when Governor Osborn Immediately
became a national figure. Any doubt
OF that fact can be secured by a glance
through the great newspapers of the
nation. The speech appeared on the
front page and under big head lines
in almost every paper in America. The
New York Tribune, Kansas city Jour
nal, New York World. the Washington
papers. the famous Sprinheld. Repub-
lican, Chicago Evening Post and scores
of other papers printed editorials rela-
tive TO the suggestion made by the
governor. All were tilted TO NJ the
particular policies OF the papers, but
the name of Michigan and Governor
Osborn were there In big type and IL
is fair to say most of the papers agreed
that osborn's solution OF the presi-
Dental tangle was a good one.
