THE PASTORAL LIMIT.

Methodist spring conferences will
show, 1t is said, marked change
Of sentiment from last fall in the
matter of restoration of the pas.
toral time limit. For two or three
years ministers in the smaller
churches have been gaining strength
in favor of their contention, while
ministers of the large churches have
done little. as
A few have written magazine ar.
ticIes opposing the change. The
prediction is now heard that many
conferences, particularly those in
the east, will overwhelmingly favor
the memorial. 1t is said the New
York, the New York east and the
Newark conferences, meeting March
q, will so vote. -r
The limit to Methodist pastorates

ence of 1900, meeting in Chicago

They say an open field, such as
other communions offer, is fairer

The General Conference to which
the memorials will go meets in
Minneapolis in May. A chief argu.
ment in 1900 for the removal of
the pastoral time limit was to meet
conditions in large cities.
:. 1t was said that where popula-
ton changes rapidly Methodism
must furnish one stable official in
the pastor of its church. The benc.
fetal effect has been small, it is
said, and it is from the large cities
that the clamor for restoration OF
the limit now chiefly comes. The

BEET SUGAR ENTERPRISE.

impressed with the importance OF
the proposed beet sugar enterprise,
The Worthington Republican says:
"Mankato business men are working
with a view of securing a beet sugar
factory for their city. The Mime
sofa Sugar company, branch of
the Michigan sugar corporations,
which established factory at Chas.
ka few years ago, is planning to
build another factory in Southern
Minnesota, and Mankato has her hand
out. The factory is to cost $SOO.000
and will employ about 100 men dur
ing the winter months. -.
"Why wouldn't it be good plan
for our Commercial club to interest
itself in proposition of this kind
and try to land sugar factory here?
About the only requirement is to
have the farmers of the surrounding
country guarantee the: raising of
beets sufficient to supply the fac.
tory. With our excellent railroad
facilities, beets could be shipped in
here from all directions to help make
up the supply for the winters run.
The price paid for beets averages
from five to six dollars per ton, and
the income to the farmer is from
$3.50 to $500 per acre.
"The writer wishes to state that
these figures are not a matter of
guess-work but know them to be
facts by experience, since the writer
was instrumental in advocating the
building of such factory at Chaska

press of the United State, accord

Prevention of tuberculosis. If al
the publicity on tuberculosis given
by the press of this country in the
year ending April 1st were gathered
in one paper, the national associa

per of over $3.50 pages.
In the last four years, during
which time an active publicity cam

miles OF press notices on tuber

BRYAN LIKE TEDDY
THREATENS TO BOLT
UNLESS BOTH CANDIDATE AND
PLATFORM CONFORM TO HIS
LIKING.

New York, April 2.-The Times
publishes this dispatch from Wash
ington:
That William J. Bryan will bolt un-
less both presidential candidates and
platform are to his liking is the in
formation received by several west
ern senators and representatives
high in the councils of the democrat
ic party.
This means that he will bolt the
nomination of either Judson Harmon
or Oscar w. Underwood. His declar
alton that he would not go to Ba't
more if the Nebraska delegation was
for Harmon is, these congressmen
say, the preliminary step. They do
not go so far as to assert that M
Bryan has entered into any negotia-
tions with the men who are threa'
ening a bolt from the republican par.
ty, but they say their Information
is that Mr. Bryan will be quite will
ing to form an alliance with any rad
ical republican who may bolt the nom
nation of President Taft.
Mr.. Bryan regretted bitterly h,
position he assumed in the campaign
Of 1904, when, for the sake Of party
regularity, he supported the candida
Cy of Alton Z. Parker, and he has
told his friends he would never he
put in the same anomalous position
again.
His own political ambitions being
out of the way, there is nothing to
prevent his following his preferences,
and he does not intend, it is sa! |,
TO support another Parker.
The peerless leader has ALREADY
said he would support either Wilson
or Clark, but it is understood her.
that, along with the Wilson mana
gers, he believes there is practically
conspiracy between Clark, Harmon
and Underwood TO prevent the New
Jersey governor from getting the re
essary two thirds of the delegates
to the Baltimore convention. Partic-
ularly is this true in the south ac-
cordink to Wilson headquarters.
