scfehce, but hold also that where his
conscience bids him refuse to do what
the people desire he should not try to
continue in Office against their will.
Our government system should be so
shaped that the public servant, when
he cannot conscientiously carry out
the wishes of the people, shall at their
desire leave his Office and not misrep-
resent them in Office, and l hold that
the public servant can by so doing bet
ter than in any other way serve both
them and his conscience.
Surely there never was fight better
worth making than the one in which
We are engaged. 1t little matters what
befalls any Oneso of us who for the time
being stands in the forefront Of the bat
tie. hope we shall win. and I believe
that II We'can wake the people to what
the fight really means we shall win.
But, win or lose, we shall not falter.
Whatever fate may at the moment
overtake any of us, the movement itself
will not stop. Our cause is based on the
eternal principles of righteousness, and
even though we who now lead may for
the time fail in the end the cause itself
shall triumph. Six weeks ago, here in
Chicago, l spoke to the honest repre-
sentatives of convention which was
not dominated by honest men, a con-
vent1on wherein sat. alas, a majority
OF men who, with sneering Indifference
to every principle Of right, so acted as
to bring to shameful end a party
which had been founded over half a
century ago by men in whose souls
burned the fire of lofty endeavor. Now
to you men who in your turn have
come together to spend and be spent
IN the endless crusade against wrong,
to you who face the future resolute
and confident to you who strive In
spirit Of brotherhood for the better
ment of our nation, to you who grid
yourselves for this great new fight in
the never ending warfare for the good
Of humankind, say in closing what in
that speech said in closing: We stand
at Armageddon, and we battle for the

CHAIN OF CHURCH STORES
The Rev. DR.. Peters Encouraged by
Success of East Side Plan.

After his brief experiment on the East
Side. during which time he has assumed
the role of grocery store proprietor clerk
buyer and delivery boy, all in one, the Rev
Or. Madison G. Peters now announces that
he Is ready 10 open chain of stores
throughout Manhattan which will guar
antee a saving to their patrons OF from
% to - per cent on all goods purchased.
According to plans made public yester-
day. one store Il to be established In the
Fifth avenue section. DR.. Peters says all
that is necessary to start others In any
part OF the city is a sum Of from 800 TO
81 .OOD and the pledges Of one hundred to
two hundred families that they will become
customers. BY starting with six or more
stores. with one hundred or more families
pledged to each, Dr. Peters says goods
may be purchased much more cheaply. and
that these stores so established would be
only the forerunner Of a merger Of all the
stores in a central supply station, which
would bring about the maximum of ef-
fcient administration and economic hand
ling OF the business.
The doctor is also considering a plan
whereby the regular members Of each
store will be able TO buy butter and eggs
when plentiful and cheap and carry them
In cold storage. The members would be
asked to pay down only "A portion when
they engage their supplies. and the rest
when they want TO use them. Or. Peters
now seeks the help of public spirited citi-
zens i'm establishing the first of these stores,
and says that when six or more are in
operation a company will be incorporated.

GENERAL ASPHALT IS HIGHER
Statement of President Mack
Shows Good Earnings.

AZ the request of the voting trustees of
the General Asphalt Company, the stock
of which suffered a severe slump on the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange last Saturday,
John NJ Mack. president Of the company,
issued a statement yesterday of the com
panys affairs and It's earnings for the last
eleven months.
The statement showed tho company 10 he
in a prosperous condition. it's net earnings
for the eleven months ended December n.
1911. being S1.074O)0. compared with 81
04s0oo for the same period year ago.
Mr.. Mack says that the business prospects
for the current year are satisfactory. the
orders for asphalt already booked being the
largest in the history OF the company.
possible explanation for the break in
the companys shares appears, however,
from the fact that the statement shows
that the company has expended upward ot
s., ,535 90 I'm the last five years on its oil
properties in Trinidad and Venezuela for
which. up to the present, 1t has received no
adequate return.

as well as colds, sore throats, etc. To the
average mind 1t is perfectly apparent that
since there is one milligram OF dust 10
each 800 litres Of air, which is the average
consumption of air an hour OF human
being, one breathes into his system many
of these germs a day.
Which would alarm the man I'm the street.
But there is no cause for alarm. For Pro-
fessor c. T. Winslow, head of the biologi-
cal department of the College of the city
OF New York, who made the discoveries re-

he had finished was 10 allay any fear Of

streptococci arc not present in large enough
numbers to be Of danger, except, perhaps,
in a windstorm.
The professor only smiled when II was
suggested that 1850 $4,000 germs to each
pound of dust seemed more than few at
any rate. He did not look for germs of
other diseases. for they We're not present

were almost innocuous.
DR.. &. V. Chaplin. of Providence. an au-
thority on municipal hygiene, said he did
not take any too kindly To the theory Of
