A CHURCH FOR EVERY 286
Survey of Ohio Shows That state Is
BADLY Oycr-Churchcd

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 10.-The results of
a survey of rural churches in Ohio
were given To the federal council of
Churches of Christ in America today
by Clifford Pinchot, chairman of the
committee on church and country life.
In rural Ohio there Is one church
TO every 2S6 persons" says the report.
This is over abundance OF churches.
But churches in the country ordina-
rily work against each other. They
compete rather than cooperate. For
this reason, the country churches are
often to one another the greatest OBJ
stacles they have TO encounter.
These facts indicate, not how well
the churches in the country are CO.
operating in Christian service to the
community, but how great is the need
for such cooperation"

Democrats Weak in the House

The greatest loss sustained by the
Democratic party since its advent to
power was the election Of Oscar w,
Underwood TO the United States Sem
ate" declared a disgrunteled Demo
cratic Member Of Congress recently.
Oscar has taken a back seat in the up
per branch Of Congress, where Senator
Reed does all the bossing. But when
Underwood was chief engineer in the
House the machinery was always we'll
oiled. I have been in Cangress over
score Of years, and never in my ex-
perience in that body have things
been in such chaotic state as at pres
ent, and it is all on account Of lack Of
leadership. Here we are well along
into April and nothing Of importance
done. Preparedness waits on revenue
legislation, and revenue waits on pre-
paredness, with the chief magistrate
injecting diScord from day TO day. l
am certain OF reelection, and for my
part l will be glad to return TO a minor
ity status.
When Oscar Underwood was our
leader we accomplished things. The
wishes al the President we're carried
out and our confidence in Underwood S
leadership gave assurance Of harmony,
now every body is pulling seven ways
Tor Sunday and we can't get anything
done. We are getting into a legs-
latiye wilderness which calls lor a Dem
ocratic Moses to lead us OUT

War Protection and Prosperity

The American Woolen Company, Of
Boston, and the Arlington Mills, oi
Lawrence Mass, have announced that
they will pass 10 their employees a
share Of their war order prosperity in
the shape Of an increase Of 10 per
cent in wages. This will affect 25,'
900 operatives in the former and Z, 900
in the latter company. This increase
does not represent all that the wooden
mill operatives have gained as a result
Of the increased prosperity growing out
Of the war boom. On the first Of the
year they we're granted an increase Of
5 per cent. Wages in the textile trades
are now Is per cent higher than for
merly.
For the first time in its history the
American Woolen Company paid in
1915 | per cent on its $4,000, 900
of commonstock. In 1854, under
the blight Of the Democratic tariff it
paid regular dividend on the preferred
stock out Of surplus, its earnings not
being sufficient.
The European war not only acted as
protective tariff on manufactured
woolens, but our exports to the bellig-
erents have increased beyond all cal
culations. During the calendar year
1915 we exported manufactures oil
wool 10 the value Of $4,600,000. In
1914, with five months Of war, they
reached $l2,sO0,O0O, while in 1915
they reached the unprecedented value
of $42, 100000. Blankets. uniforms,
etc., formed the bulk OF these exports,
and the Department OF Commerce re.
fuses to recognize such articles as
munitions Of war.

No Monopoly Of Patriotism.

The deliberate efforts Of Democrats
to mix partisan politics in foreign affairs
is illustrated by this paragraph from the
Portland, Oregon, Journal:
People who are trying to submarine
the Wilson administration should be
forcibly reminded that it has the ma
TONS honor on board.
II this means anything at all, it
means that in the opinion the Demo
Gratis, maintenance Of the nation's honor
requires the reelection Of Woodrow
Wilson. 1t may be just as well to let
the Jorunal and all other Democrats
know that the nations honor is not
monopolized by any one man or any
one party. a part can never be great
er .than the whole. By its action,
either the Republican party or the
Democratic party may embsrrass the
government or give it cause for pride,
but national honor never did and never
will depend upon the continuance or
retirement Of any party that ever did
exist or ever will exist.
Moreover, it is also good time TO let
all Democrats understand that a series
Of foreign crises" will not be per
mitted to cover up the multitude Of
official sins for which the present ad-
ministration should be and will be
called to account. We have not yet
fallen so low in civic Standards are
not so absolutely wanting in statesman
ship, that We must give popular approx
al to a party that has broken practically
all its important campaign pledges, for
fear we shall sacrifice the nations
honor"
Next November the American people
will put the Democratic administration
on trial and judge it fairly and i'm
partially. They will weigh it in the
balance and If they find it wanting,
they will not hesitate one moment to
so declare. They will not Judge it by
any one or two ac,s-by its foreign
policies or its domestic policies alone.
They will take its whole record into
consideration and cast their ballots as
seems to them wisest for the good OF
our common country whose chief pur-
pose is to promote our welfare at home
through all the years Of peace, rather
than to solve the problems Of rare and
uncertain perinds Of war.

LoOting il Both Ways

At the beginning Of his term Mr.
Wilson proceeded 10 loot the diplo.
matte service for the purpose oil pro-
viding places for deserving Demo
Gratis" among whom the most deserv
ing were found 10 be those who had
contributed most generously to the
Wilson campaign fund. Toward the
end OF his term Mr.. Wilson is again
looting the diplomatic service for the
purpose Of providing useful and ener'
getic politicians who will assist in
carrying forward his campaign for re-
election.
1t is just now made known that
Henry Morganthau, Ambassador al
Constantantinople, will resign his post
to take up some very important work
connected with the financial end oI
the presidents canvass. Mr.. Morgen
thau is row in this country on leave O.
absence and a few weeks ago it was
limited that the exigencies Of politics
would prevent his return to Turkey
In the white heat Of fictitious indig
nation this rumor was denied. Bu
the truth now appears and Mr.. Nor
genthau will stay at home. The ex
perience he has gained in Turkey
will go for naught. Another "deserv
ing Democrat" will Re sent TO tina
troubleous area to learn the ropes a
the expense Of the American treasury
and 10 the cost Of American interests
But Mr.. Wilson will have achieved
the distinction Of being the first Presi
dent who has attempted to loot tn,
diplomatic service both going AMI
coming.

farmers produce are practically on
the free list, while peanuts, which
the farmers Of Virginia, North Carolina
and other Southern States produce,
have the benefit Of a protective duty.
The wool produced by northern farmers
is on the free list, but the hair Of the
Angora goat, which is produced in
Texas, has a protective duty. The
fruits Of the Northern States were made
to suffer heavy reductions Of duty, but
the oranges produced in Florida are
allowed a substantial protective duty.
Our northern farmers are not narrow
their views, and are not dissatisfied
that southern farmers enjoy the bene
fits Of protective duties such as they
themselves do not now enjoy. Our
farmers realize that any development
Of industry in this country is benefit
to all, and that this is true whether the
industry be agricultural or manufactur-
ing. But they realize also that the
policy OF the southern Democrats in
Congress was narrow one in not Civ
ing just consideration to the needs Of
agriculture in all sections, and that it
could also be criticised as unfair to the
sections Disseminated against.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1916-04-27

Seven years ago Republican Sec
retary OF State tried to have Congress
establish the Office OF Under Secretary
but the highly Democratic Demo,
Gratis reared up and denounced the
scheme as a pattering after the
efets monuchies OF Europe. So,
while the job was established, the title
given to it was that Of Councillor.
Now the Democrats have brought in a
to change the name Of the place to
Under Secretary. 1t is a small matter,
perhaps. but, taken with all the other
Republican notions which Democrats
nowadays are adopting, it is worth not
ing.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1916-04-27

without protest the criticism which fol
lowed the car wing out OF the President
orders and by the further fact that Mr.
Bryan's successor asSecretary Of State is
is little more than puppet, doing only
what Mr.. Wilson tells him to and su'
bordinating every conviction Of his own
to the Presidents wishes. Mr.. Will
sons entire Cabinet bears witness tc
thelact that no man with backbone Oh
character Of his own can serve under
Woodrow Wilson.
MORGANTHAU QUITS: - Following
repeated emphatic denials by the
White House that Henry Morganthau,
Ambassador to Turkey, contemplated
resiguing from the Diplomatic Corp;
to aid Mr.. Wilson in his campaign fol
reelection, the White House now ad
mits that these reports were true and
Mr.. Morganthau has resigned and
for that purpose. It is asserted
however, that the President has not
definitely decided to accept Mr.. Nor,
ganthau's resignation because OF the
welI'recognized fact that it would be in
furious to diplomatic interests Of the
United State to make a change
bassadors atConstantinople at this time,
There are those who are unkind
enough to believe that the acceptance
OF Morganthau's resignation depends
chiefly upon how badly, in the
Presidents estimation, that he needs
the fnancier's political assistance.
SAVING MISSOURI:"-Returns
from the municipal elections in Mis-
souri, demonstrate how sincere were
the walls OF Speaker Clark and Senator
lin" Reed about the necessity OIL
sending the Democratic Convention to
St. Louis TO save that State and re elect
Reed. The Convention was sent TO
St. Louis and Sephus Daniels jlggled
with big shoe contract, as has been
told in this correspondence, TO save
the State, but to what avail? AS a re-
suit OF the spring municipal elections
there is not a municipality in the State
oi 10000 population or upwards which
did not go Republican by large major
ity. St. Louis, Kansas City,, St. JOS
eph. Springfield, Joplin and a host d
others will have Republican administra.
tions as a result Of the popularity" oI
President Wilson and the Democratic
Administration, and Republicans who
now declare that nothing can save the
State from the Republicans in Nov
ember.

Through an error Champ Clark found
himself the other night at a hospiiable
table where some Republican Congress
men were giving dinner. He enjoyed
himself hugely, the reports say; and il
is safe guessing that he was much
more agreeably placed than il he found
himself at a board where there might
be a more pronounced emphasis in
favor OF the present occupant Of the
White House.

One OF the most potent arguments
against the Wilson. McAdoo Alexander
ship purchase bill, when it was before
Congress last year was that il the
Government owned and operated the
ships it must Of necessity be interested
in tonnage movements free cf inter
ruptions from belligerent activities;
hat it would in a measure make Uncle
Sam party to the European brawl.
That was one Of the considerations
which helped to defeat the bill. Now
the proposition has arisen to tax muni-
tions Of war, and from 5000, 900 10
$40, 100000 in taxes is to be raised
thereby. This, likewise would make
the Government, to all intents and
purposes, partner in the profits Of
traffic it is supposed, under international
law to merely tolerate, aside from the
question as to whether it would be an
indirect tax on imports, forbidden by
the Constitution. Leave it to the
Democats 10 muddle the situation.
Why can they not be content with
the increased revenues derived from
the taxation Of incomes swollen by war
