dian of his truths, and his chosen IN
strumentality for the redemption of
the world. 1t is imperfect in many
ways, how could it be otherwise, being
a company of penitent sinners (no
others, need apply and it has made
many mistakes, neglected many oppor-
tunities, wandered far out of the way,
but it remains today the only active
organized agency on the face of the
globe that stands always four square
for Righteousness.
And we Christian people. You can't
tell us very much that we don't know
about our shortcomings. Our confes-
sion of sin is not form. 1t is from
the heart and after all has been said,
the church of the Living God, and its
membership is the army Of the Lord,
pushing onward the chariot wheels of
his kingdom, and marching to the re-
demption of the world.
1t will be asked why is the church
attempting so little in the way of so.
cial regeneration? Two reasons may be
given. The lack of aggressive leader
ship, and of concerted action. There
the blame mostly rests upon the or
gained governing bodies in the
churches. They need to get together,
to plan campaign, and put them
selves into it as Pickett's veterans did
at Gettysburg. How much of this ap.
plies to Rock Island do not know.
Again, there is lack of confidence
in the outcome. More correctly, a
sense of the certainty of defeat. The
enterprise looks so large, the forces
available insignificant, the case is
hopeless. These causes may explain,
whether or not they justify the
church's inaction.
And let Us give honor where honor
belongs. In the face of all adverse
criticism, | challenge history to pro.
duce a single genuinely philanthropic
monument that has not behind it a
Christian organization, or a Christian
personality. The saloonkeeper wants
patronage, the politician wants votes,
their philanthropy is cheap form OF
selfishness.

once more. the RICH corporation, manufacturers of the R-C-H car. has created something of sensation in the motor car producing circles and among motorists generally, this time with an announcement of equipment on the RICH touring car for 1913 that heretofore has only been looked for on cars selling at d much higher price
 This equipment includes five cleo tric lights non-skid 32X3 F. inch tires all around, Warner autometer, top fitted with Jiffy curtains, top slip GOV CT, rear vision mirror and robe rail. That the 1913 season will be one in which full equipment of motor car with every essential to convenience and comfort in driving will be de manded by motorists. and that the more progressive manufacturers are preparing to go the limit on such equipment. is indicated by the R-C-H announcement.
 That full equipment is to be the big feature for 1913 is indicated by articles in various motor papers re- gently To the 1913 RICH touring car at s900 belongs the distinction of being the first low priced ear to specify either electric lights, non-skid tires or Warner autometer as standard equipment All three go into the RICH, along with the popular Jiffy curtains. first included on May l.

Goats with harrassed expressions all over New York's farthest north, the Bronx, are scuttling furtively up steep hillsides and into convenient alleys at the sight of a bluecoat and brass but tons The Morrisania court, presided over by Magistrate Breen, resembles a scene in the Alps with goats coming and going. The cause is police roundup of all Bronx goats owing to the fact that careless member of the flock consumed the sacred rose garden of a militant citizeneSS and later refused to permit her to enter her own house A burning letter from the owner of the rose garden crystalized sectional and an official raiiing party including a police captai and d dignified inspec- tor set out on horseback to bring in the animals Inside of two hours the police cohorts had thirty goats locked up in the stable. Then the excited owners began to arrive, most of them daugh- ters of sunny Italy. They wanted the goats to milk. Some that were a diff ferent kind of goat were wanted any how. The charge against the owners was that of having goats without d permit, One Joseph Caprione informed the magistrate that he had a permit for his goat but the goat ate it. After fifteen defendants had explained the merite of their goats, the magistrate feeling that his own goat was rapidly slipping away dcreed that all the cap tives should be restored upon the pro- ductiOn of permit.

NATIVE BORN
 IN MINORITY
They Are Submerged in New York by the Con stant Tide of Aliens With Russians Pushing to First Place

NEW YORK, June 25.-Statistics just collected here reveal the start ling fact that in a few more wears if the present rate of foreign immigration continues. New York actually will cease to be an American city to the extent that it's natveborn population will be in an actual minority. Already forty per cent of the toal population is of foreign birth and the proportion is steadily increasing. A analysis of the racial clements composing this vast cosmopolitan population reveals some susprising facts. One of the most striking of these is that the metropolis is being rapidly Russianized Former subjects of the Czar already outnumber all other foreign natiOnalities within the city. There are 4S3,5S0 of them or one fourth of the entire population of St. Petersburg and more than a third of that rG Moscow. Next in numerical strength come the Italians. The pOpu- latiOn of Genoa brought bodily to New York would not come within hundred thousand of the city's 340,524 in habi- Cork multipliad two and a half times N'NiN nut tRbdl IllC HullDtI OI NtllS III New York, which is 252.52S. Out of IS of the foremost countries Germany and Ireland alone Were less well represented
 in 1910 than in 1900 To make the eX- isting slump more remarkable these two nations led all others in 1900 In ten years the German figure has fallen from 324,19S to 279.242 and the Irish colony from 275.O73 to 252.52S Of the well known nations the Turks have in creased most rapidly in the past de- cade having grown in number from HOO to 9SS2 Newfoundland, not rep resented in 1900, now has colony of 1928. The inclination of the immigrant to remain in New York is shown by the fact that at present the city has IA per cent of the entire foreign born population of the United States. Ap- parently the Dutch are pretty well sat isfied with their own country, since but ALSO of them are included in the city's roster of foreign born, an increase of but 1513 in the past ten years. The changing complexion of the foreign invasion is shown in many ways but most graphically perhaps by the pre- dominance of the leading race at public gatherings and in the street cars
