LEARNING FROM THE CHURCH.

Charles Stelze, writing in the Continent, on
the question of church efficiency. admits that
as an institution the church is a partial fall
about the narrow outlook which many have
upon their mission in the world" but calls
attention TO the fact that business organiza-
tons not more successful He advances
as one of the examples of incapacity in some
Business houses the advice of United States
cunsuls to American business houses to stop
sending to foreign countries catalogues print
cd in English. This Ia so common a prac-
TIC" says MIR. Stelze. "as to make Ameri-
can merchants laughing stock among the
German. the French and the English, whip
are making inroads upon trade which should
naturally belong to America. He then adds.
with fine irony, Imagine a foreign mission
AIRY society sending literature printed in Eng
lish to the Chinese. for example"
Many people speak with scorn OF the lack
OF business methods in the churchas-and
they are lacking to a great extent--whiIe they
themselves are operating their business on
systems bordering the ridiculous The

4 SURPRISE FOR TOM.

The Presbyterian churches. OF Washington,
are rivals for President Wilson's attendance
during his four years stay in Washington.
This must sound strange to Tom Watson.
who must have assumed at once that Mon
signor Russell, of st. Patricks cathedral,
would have the honor OF preaching to rhe
next president. Tom left the Democratic
party again because Woodrow Wilson was re-
ported to have become member of the
Knights of Columbus and 1t must be sur
prising TO him that Presbyterian churches
should desire his attendance

There is nothing more immovable than
Asg. good-natured man who has got his

sooG forget but deep injury and malicious
attack will arouse him from his lethargv. and
ehen aroused he is more unforgiT'ns ana

der chip individual. He never forgets and
seldom forgives. and II his cause is righ-, as
Il usually is, his enemy has done a bal ea%'s

President Taft is this kind of man. Per
eonally honest, even-tempered and good

he finds the damage done his party by Colonel
Roosevelt more difficult to forgive than that
dcne himself He may forgive, but he will
never forget, and he may be counted upon
TO fight the destroyer OF bis party to the h!'
Ter end In this his hour OF defeat and
humiliation he finds his consolation in tae
fact that he has kept Theodore Roosevelt out
Of the White House. We kept Roosevelt
from being elected president once, ami T think
said on more than enc occasion.
This is not mere petty spite. 1t is not al
together justihable resentment President
taft honestly believes, as do many of US. that

and The enemy of his country. NO compro-

retain control of the party organization, and
10 keep it safe from capture by Roosevelt
That the capture OF the Republican organi-
gatioa and of the nomination for the presi-

fhere is little doubt The Progressive party's

Proaressve party is to live depends upon
whether the robbers. piekpoekets and cut

master or successfully resist him, If they
submit they become sanity as the Flynns-

acterlzation stiU applies Judge Lindsay?
Jane Addams? The Grand Young Man? Why.
their fate depends upon the turn Of the wheel,
upon whether the soldier of the Lord needs

II SIR Taft has his way the robbers will re-

This question has been under cons

fore Il.
Whether the committee will deter.
mine what steps to take tonight n ncx
known. There are scme who say the
committee will not make Z repors,
while others say there will be two
REPORTS minority and . majority.
From votes and other indications
the complexion OF three OF the CONF
mitteemen appears to be favorable to
granting the franchise to the Rich
mond and Henrico company, whils
the other five seem to be against SUCH
action.
There may be test OF this at the
meeting tonight. 1t was sa.d by
member Of council last night that II
the committee could no nothing. tbs
matter would be taken out Of their
hands and acted upon the floor os
