The Excluded Partner.
Governor Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey, recently told his
hearers: "The people, who
have been excluded partner, are
taking part in the business of
running the government. We
are actually taking the liberty
assuming the direction of
wn business."
4 making this statement,
C.v.rnor Wilson Bounds the
kej note of the present progres
sive movement. No longer are
the political machines to in
dorse candidates and provide
policies and platforms. The
people are casting the bosses
aside, are doing their own
thinking, naming their own
candidates and generally tak
ing a hand in the running of
the business of the city, state
and nation.
And the people can be trust
ed to run this business right.
They have learned by the sad
experience of years that the
delegation of power through
the medium of the political
middleman has resulted in
moral and financial loss. They
are determined to abol sh him

PASTOR UNIQUE
Paster Russell Addresses Immense Au
I dieneee In Landon, Brooklyn and
Elsewhere Reeohes Ton Million
Amorlean Homos Through One Thou
•and Newspapera.
To hear Pastor Itaasell Is the desire
of many Catholics, Protestants and
Independent thinkers, who appreciate
the published sermons of the cele
brated editor, author and orator of
the Brooklyn Tabernacle.
Pastor Russell usually speaks under
$b» auspices of the nnsectarlan Bible
clamps of the large cltlee, In pnbllc
places, where all nay assemble on
neutral ground, free from denomina
tional prejudice, the pastor accepting
only invitations where the seats are
free and no collection to be taken, be
In turn accepting no fej for bis lec
tures.
Perhaps the most remarkable con
gregation on earth is that of the
Brooklyn Tabernacle, over 20 nation
alities being represented in its board
of elders and deacons. Pastor Rus
sell. when in America, orally serves
bis congregation on the first Sunday
of each month. The Academy of Mu
sic, Brooklyn's largest auditorium. Is
now used on Pastor Russell's home
days and is often insufficient to ac
commodate the ever-increasing crowd.
Pastor Russell, by bis defense of
the Bible as God's inspired revelation
to man, has won the admiration of
the vast majority of unprejudiced
truth-seeking Bible students. He came
Into prominence In New England In
1877. Since then his field of activity
has continually broadened, until now
over 10,000,000 American families are
served by the 1,000 newspapers now
publishing his weekly sermons. Be Is
the author of a work now In Its fourth
million.
Why He Beeame Independent.
Be was reared under the strictest
religious discipline as a Protestant
Bis Instructors believed and taught
the old style "Bell Fire** doctrine. To
save Us fellow from such a fate he
went about his native «ty, inscribing
apon walls and fences Bible texts
calling sinners to repentance. Daring
the next few years, while growing
vp into commercial life he devoted
much time to the investigation of Bud
4balsm, Confucianism and other orien
tal religions, to the end that they were
found unworthy of credence. The
thought "Which Is the true gospel
became a living question In his inquir
ing mind, which continually reverted
to the mixed condition and contrary
claims of Christendom. Be questioned,
"Should I try to find the truth? Why
not lay aside each arduous study and
win fame sad fortune In a moet prom
ising commercial life now well start
ed?" This be was about to do. but
decided that be would first Investigate
the Scriptures and let the Bible speek
for Itself on lire and brimstone.
Amased at the harmonious testimony
proving an unexpected but satisfac
tory answer, he continued a "topical"
Bible research and was brought to a
complete confidence In the Bible as be
ing Inspired by an all-wise, all-power
ful, all-Just and loving Creator, worthy
to be adored and worshiped. This was
a beginning of a new ambition, and
the question then was. What should be
do and how he should do It Deter
mining. if possible, to reach every
trutb-seeker, whether Catholic, Prot
estant, Jew or Free-thinker, he found
It necessary to stand free of all sec
tarian bonds and to inaugurate an in
dependent work. His first effort was
the preparation of a booklet entitled.
"Food for Thinking Christians"—
1,400,000 copies being delivered to the
public free of cost.
Interested In Jewish Hopes.
Pastor Russell early discovered that
hundreds of texts relating to the prom
ises of Israel were as yet unfulfilled,
and be became Intensely Interested In
the history of the Jews, past present
and future—but especially in their fu
tare. An extensive tour of the Holy
Land was accomplished in 1892. The
bad of the coming Jewish nation had
scarcely put forth at that time How
ever, great strides toward a Jewish
polity have since been accomplished,
and Pastor Russell predicts that the
budding of a Jewish springtime will
soon be recorded In history.
Ire IWBttefl AlflRbflT last spring
and addressed the Jews In the largest
hall In Jerusalem from Isaiah xl, 1, 2.
Upon his arrival home, Pastor Russell
announced that his' next topic at the
Academy of Music would be "Jerusa
lem." Bo unusual, so strange, to see
a Christian minister dilating upon Jew
ish hopes that all Jewry waited In ex
pectation of something—they knew not
what So great was the Interest on
this occasion that hundreds of Jews,
as well as hundreds of Gentiles, were
anable to obtain admittance to bear
the speaker. This discourse was pub
lished In IS Mew York Jewish news
papers and by the Jewish press of
many cltlee In Great Britain, Rosaia
IBS America.

I mustn't whistle on
the porch before half past six morn

"I'm going barefoot all the time
now, so don't let mother send any
more tan stockings. I'll wear black
ones in the fall when I go home. I
can stay all summer, cant 1, dad? My
legs are getting fine and tanned al
ready, but Aunt Lavinla—you know,
she's kind of fussy—says If I scratch
my mosquito bites she'll Insist on my
wearing shoes and stockings. I wish
you'd write to her that lt'a healthy to
go barefoot and tell her you dont
cafe If I go la awlmmlng twice a day.
She thinks onoe Is enough.
"When you write me send about a
dollar and a half to pay for a poor
little Pig that died on the farm near
na. It was awful sad and strange how
that pig died. Aaother boy and me
was chvipg him just a little, for It
was awful cute, limning and squeal
ing, and It got sick right away and
died, and the farmer—he's a pretty
mean man—says one of us has got to
pay for It and the other boy hasnt
any way to get money. Alnt It funny
how little pigs can't stand hardly any
exercise?
"Please aend the money soon. Ton
might send up a box of candy, too,
like that one you had me bring up
nere to my aunts. I thought I'd Just
open it on the train and try a piece,
and there were two kids sitting near
me and they wanted some, too, and
after we-'d eaten some there wasn't
enough left to look like anything, so
we Just ate It all and I threw the box
out of tbe car window. I forgot to tell
you, too, that I lost my bat out of the
car window. It's awful windy riding
on the train. I'm sorry about the
,candy, but you aee how It happened.
"Tell mother I'm real square about
doing all the things she said. Aunt.
jAnne reminded me to brash my teeth
today, but sbe needn't have reminded
me, for I was Just a-going to do It
And I'll read some every day In that

"I'm practicing swimming and when
you come up I'll surprise you and
mother by swimming across the lake.
Aunt Lavinia is awful particular about
my wearing both parts of my bathing
suit. That boy who was chasing the
pig with me says it's girly around here
,wear so much clothes in swimming.
He goes in naked with boys, but, of
course, I'll never do that, for Aunt
Lavinla would have a fit if she found
it out.
"There's an awful cute pup up at
the farm. I'm sure he's a fine breed
and he knows me already. Don't you
think It would be a good thing for us
to have a watch dog in our flat next
winter? If you send me $5 now I can
buy him and get him trained this Bum
mer. I am going to call him Lion, for
I can tell he's going to be a very
brave dog. I think mother would like
a dog. It would be company for her
when you're downtown and Pm at
school.
"I guess I'd better stop writing now
and go up to tbe farm and engage
that pap. It would be tough if some
body else bought him. I guess I better
take him at once and have him
charged and you can send tbe money
for him when you send tbe dollar and
a half for the pig.
"I'll write to mother next time. This
letter's long enough for you both, I
guess. Well, so long. I'm off to see
about the pup. Say, dad, can I rent a
pony to ride sometimes? There's a
dandy one In the livery stable In the
town. Give my love to mother."

A Library for Every Heme.
A library for every home is be
ing made a reality by the North
Dakota Agricultural College.
The Extension Department has
solved the problem with the
Package Library.
What is Package Library? It
is a package made up of a num
ber of articles from books, mag
azines or bulletins on some sub
ject, as rotation of crops, alfalfa,
alkali soils, commission form
of government, etc. etc. Sub
jects tSat have two sides are
discussed from- both stand
points. It inclules subjects on
agriculture, horticulture, do
mestic science, science, civics,
biography, etc.
For whom. These libraries
will prove particularly valuable
for the member of the farmers'
club who wants to prepare a
paper or talk, for the student
who wants to write an essay or
oration, or prepare for a debate
for the club woman who wants
to get up an address, for the
editor who .wants to prepare an
article, for the doctor, lawyer
or business man who has an
address to prepare. It will con
tain the information that it is
usually so hard to find, when
one wants it bad. Provision
has also been made for supply
ing material for declamations,
dialogues and amateur plays.
