BUILD YOUR CITY WELL.

City building has become science
Our most brainy men assemble in con.
ventions for the purpose of exchang-
ing experiences, discussing methods
that have proven economical, practical
and successful. 1t is recognized that
ancient haphazard methods can only
lead to decay. The safest and surest
way of all is to make your city worth
something, useful to some line or lines
OF business and then give 1t good
name by intelligent advertising. A
community can be trade-marked just
like manufactured product. An adj
vertised specially creates markets
markets that stay created and in.
crease from year to year. OF the well
advertised trade-marked name 1t can
be truthfully said that it is greatly
to be desired because it means real
riches. And it should be so Of good
city. Its very name should emphasize
some particular quality. This quality
should be SO well associated with its
name that to see its name is to re-
member its specially. 1t should be adj
vertised to indelibly stamp this upon
the minds of business men every
where. A good opinion in the nInda
of business people and a preference
for that particular place is seed that
must grow and spread.
With Bryan her schools are her
trademark, emphasized by her agricul.
tural achievements. To make her
schools thoroughly effective and a per.
manent trademark there must be per.
manency fostered in the schools. Fa.
miliar faces in faculty and plans must
assist in indelibly stamping this trade.
mark upon the public. The wonderful
success of our schools is due to the
fact that, with few exceptions, there
have never been changes in manage.

them largely by agitation Of questions
that were not designed by the founder
Of Christianity to be included In the
gospel message and because II affords
the means of gratifying the social in
stinct OF man to mingle with his fell
lows. In the city this craving is not
wholly dependent upon the church for
its qualification.
BY getting closer to the Industrial
masses in the great centers of pop
ulation by means of organized activ-
tiles potential to relieve working and
living conditions. the church may re-
gain some of its lost ground. but to
do so 1t must abandon certain activ-
tiles that in effect act coercively
through the machinery of state gov
eminent to force its views upon the
people.

principle of Christianity to their right

preachment and practice to the cardi-
nal doctrines enunciated by the Great

is now rendering. Houston Post

Arizona for Taft?

Phoenix, Ariz., May 25.-Delegates
will be chosen in the various counties
of the new state today to the state
convention at Tucson on June 3, when
Arizona's delegation to Chicago will
be named. The republican state ex-
ecutive committee is almost solidly for
Taft, having endorsed the administra-
ton by vote of 8 to 8. Friends of
the president say he is certain of
Arizona, but the Roosevelt supporters
declare that popular sentiment is all
for the rough rider and that only
steam roller methods will win for the
president.

The Church and Wealth.

At the opening session of the State
Christian Missionary Convention in
this city Monday President E. C. Mob
ley of Gainesville is quoted as saying:
Christ is better understood and more
generally accepted now than at any
former period in the history of the
world, still the church is tagging be-
hind in the procession in the onward
march of men. Many men who believe
in Christ have no use for the church.
The church is out of sympathy with
modern industrial conditions When
20,000,000 men and women work for
less than a living it is time the
church took notice. Christ labored
among the poor but it can not be de-
MED that the church is catering to the
rich. 1t is the churchs work
to apply Christianity to modern con-
ditions. to regenerate human society
by the application of the principles of
Christianity"
This is a pretty courageous state
ment for an ordained minister of the
gospel to make, but it can hardly be
successfully contested by the applica-
ton of easily discernible facts to pre-
vailing conditions. Jesus of Nazareth
is undoubtedly becoming better and
more generally understood in this age
than at any previous period Of the
Christian era. but at the same time the
fact can not be hid that many men
who believe in Him and endorse His
teachings "have no use for the
church" Dr. Mobley correctly states
what is. perhaps. the chief reason.
In the cities the church is. out OF
touch with the toiling masses, and in

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The last
Thanksgiving in the White House of
the twenty-seventh president of the
United States included public and pri-

feast at home.
The president went at 10 o'clock
to the Pan-American Thanksgiving
service at St. Patrick church where
most of the diplomats in Washington,
many of the members of the cabinet
and hundreds of government officials
annually worship. From st. Patricks
he was driven to his own church, All
Souls Unitarian, where he listened to
a Thanksgiving sermon by his pastor,
Rev. Z. G. R. Pierce, chaplain of the
senate.
The principal event of the presi-
dents afternoon was the wedding of

Henry Boutell. American minister to
Switzerland, and John w. B. Ladd of
Boston. He expected to spend the
rest of the day quietly in his study
The big White House celebration of
the day will come tonight when the 80
pound Rhode Island turkey, Aunt
Della Torrey's monster mince pie and
all the other good things that have
been stored away IN the presidents
kitchen will be served. Mrs. Taft and
Charles Taft were III Washington with
the president. Miss Helen Taft has
not returned from her trip to Panama.
Most of the members of the cabinet
had arranged for quiet celebrations
with informal dinners at home, with
friends.

Relief trains were rushed to the

The majority of the passengers in
the day coach were lounging in their

the passengers had any idea of what

Richie is HAPPY
His Chance to Fight WOIgaSt
Arrives Today.
But He May Not Be So Happy
Tonight.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov 2S-The
patience of Willie Ritchie, the San
Francisco lightweight, was rewarded
today when, at 2 o'clock. the gong
started him on his 20 round fight with
Champion Ad Wolgast, at Coffroth's
arena, DAILY City.
The local youngster had waited long
for a chance to show his mettle, and
assured his friends that he took the
lightweight kings measurements on the
day when he boxed the four smashing
rounds with him in this city.
Ritchie has overlooked many a good
pugilistic business proposition in order
to get this match with the champion
When the papers were signed he was as
happy as a youngster with a new hobby
horse.
One question more than any other
has been asked concerning Ritchie:
HAS he the punch that will stop
Wolgast?'' The answer seems to be
that on July of this year he knocked
Wolgast down in their four round go
with right cross to the jaw, and that
in New Orleans when he fought Joe
Mandot he put the southerner to the
canvas on two occasions in ten rounds.
Ritchie is about as level headed as
any fighter in the business. Although
a young man he has put away a few
thousand dollars and has some pro-
pertv in the city, He began life driv-
ing a SanO wagon team, dnO Wnen ne
took to boxing in preliminaries and
amateur bouts, graduated to the dig
nifty of a chauffeur and automechani-
clan
Sporting writers charge that Wolgast
has not trained faithfully for the fight
He refuses to take the local boy seri-
ouSly, they say.
The betting opened today at to I
Wolgast to win and even money that
he would knock Ritchie out inside of
1S rounds. 1t is expected the ringside
price will not be better than 10 to G.

Mexican Disturbance Again Has
Moved to Juarez.

Ell Paso. Nov. 2S.-Juarez, the i'm

msurrecto attack, has found that
rebels are enlisted among the towns
Few defenders. A series of arrests
were begun today which it is said will
materially diminish the 500 fed
eral soldiers of the local garrison. A
half dozen men selected from the
ranks were placed in jail, charged with
actually being rebel soldiers.
General Trucy Aubert left with only
a few federal regulars and no artil-
lery, found it necessary to recruit his
ranks to full strength.
Rebels crossing from FL Paso join
ed the federal army and today the
Mexican secret service exposed a plot
preparing to turn on the regulars
when the expected insurrecto attack
was made.
The arrival from the state capital
of some artillery is expected to assist
materially in defending the town
should an attack be made. 1t devel-
oped today that the three trains. sup
posedly of troops which left Chihua-
hua City a few days ago for the north
were merely work trains with small

ed to send reinforcements into the
northern part of the state where reb-
els appear as numerous as at the be-
ginning of the revolution, and where
the federal garrisOns admittedly are
