The Inter-Church World movement
has failed 1t is the second Tower-of-
Babel episode in the history of the
human race. The balance in the treas
ury is Sc, 200. 900, out of which $8,OOO,-
900 deficit must be paid. Again it has
been made evident that while the church
is in the world, it is not of the world.
1t is not founded on capital and organ
ization, but on confession and spiritual
values. The faith in the heart is the
only bond which unites all true believ-
ers into universal union in this world,
and that union is an invisible one. The
faithful in every denomination and in
every church organization, constitute
the Community of Saints, the only
inter-church world movement of per-
manency and stability. The church
and the world cannot be made Identical
and congruent. Any attempt to make
the two one is bound to fail as did the
Inter-C Church World movement.

THE Chicago Tribune carried a finan-
cial item one day last week that con-
Germs all of US. The item dealt with
Armour & Co. The Tribune told in
plain language that Armour & Co. again
is recapitalizing. The company is pay
ing dividends by exchanging the old for
the new common stock. Since 1916
when the common stock was increased
from 500, 900, 900 to 500. 900, 900, the
company has earned enough profits to
declare what amounts to 500 per cent
dividends. Instead of paying this divi-
dend in cash, it is paid in increased is-
sue of common stock. This helps to
explain the high cost of meat products
to the consumer, and the altogether too
low price for cattle and hogs the farm
er is getting, considering the cost of
production. ''Stock dividends totaling
500 per cent within the last four years"
are the exact words of the Tribune

FRIDAY. JULY %, 1920.

THE Third Party convention held at
Chicago last week did not develop that
unity of front, nor that broadness of
political purpose which many, who are
dissatisfied with the platform and lead
ers of the major political parties, had
hoped for. The Committee of AZ bolted
the convention, and the man who had
been heralded as the great leader OF
the new party. Senator Robert nj. La
Toilette, refused TO become the stand
ard bearer. He did not approve of the
platform adopted, nor did he relish the
idea of breaking the tie which still
binds him to the Republican party. He
and his followers will remain in the
party as the progressive wing within
it, lending their efforts to the support
of such candidates for federal political
offices as command their approval, let
ting the campaign otherwise run its
course as it may. The Third Party as
launched in Chicago has no further
significance in the present political
lineup, beyond emphasizing the fact
that the '.third party idea" is mighty
hard thing to translate into practical
operative political organization in this
country. The American people cling
to the notion that the government
should represent the majority of all the
people; and this can be realized only
where the two-party idea prevails.

to be shown. But there is also more
cheerful outlook upon things advanced
by men who ought to know. James A.
Patten, the great wheat king, philan-
thropist and capitalist, is responsible
for the statement that food prices are
coming down; that clothing prices are
down, and down to stay; that the labor
shortage is fast being relieved; that
the transportation tie-up will help to
keep our products in this country, and
thus give us an ample supply; in short,
the cost of living is coming down. But
here again we want to be shown; the
consumers dollar still looks pretty near
like 80 cents in our town.

OMNIBUS rumblings are heard in
eastern industrial centers. More than
40, 900 workers in the American Wooden
Mills company throughout New Eng
land are out of work The officials of
the mills blame the shutdown to the
cancellation of orders resulting from
conviction of profteering secured
against the company, and to transport
alton conditions. In the Pittsburgh
district 2, 500, 600 hands are threatened
decentralization in the railway service
of the country, and in this instance the
blame is placed on the government
with responsibility for the breakdown
in the rail service throughout the Unit
ed States. The public is supposed to
be moved to sympathy for the injured

permit them to go on collecting their
profits with raw wool down, and wool

Want to Change Time

The Southern Pacific Company has
advised the Public Service Commits
sion that it has under consideration
a new time table under which passen
gers from San Francisco for Lake
Tahoe, Reno and Goldield would
leave San francisco 500 a. m.-sac-
ramento II 40 a. m.-Reno $50 PM.
thus giving daylight service from
san Francisco to Lake Tahoe and
Reno and only one night enrouute
between San Francisco and Cold
icld instead OF two nights. Tono-
pah sleeper would be carried ON that
train.
". d. Forster of the Tonopah
and Goldfield Railway strongly en-
dorses this proposed service and also
desires to change the daylight train
from Goldfield to Reno by arranging
to have the train leave Cold ield go
OF 500 Il. m. instead OF $50 as at
present He claims the present
schedule causes hardship upon his
patrons and if not remcdicd Goldfield
will file formal protest
In connection with this matter, A.
NJ. Ardney, OF the Virginia and True
kee Railway, desires the re-establsh-
ment of its old schedule OF No. 1870
from Wabuska to Mound House ar
irving there $40 p. m, instead OF the
present schedule and arriving Reno
at $50 p. m. as formerly.
The suggested schedules appear
reasonable to this Commission, but

notice and entertain protests if made.
