, COLLIER'S VERSUS BALLING ER A pretty little illustration of the power of truth is being given to the country just at this moment. Surely It was not more than two months ago that Collier's appeared with its little leader entitled "Ballinger Should Go." There have been sundry unimportant looking little items in the editorial columns of that paper. Then came the defense of Mr. Ballinger by the President, which the people are unwilling to believe ho was a deliberate party to. Apparently that was the last of it. But "The Whitewashing of Ballinger" appeared last week In the satuq columns. We are of the opinion that sooner or later that will have its effect. After that It is interesting to read in the editorial columns of Collier's "strong evidence of his gross unfitness and treachery have been presented, and as he well knows, more Is in reserve."4
It is interesting, isn't it. But we would incline to the belief that Mr. R. Achilles Ballinger not only "should go," but will go.
Items Gathered in From Far and Near
Skyscraper Churches. From the New York World. The new edifice of the Fifth Avenue Baptist congregation, of which Mr. Rockefeller and other prominent business men are members, will further illustrate the tendency in church architecture to depart from the traditional models and to build upward. Above the auditorium will be located the social parlors, Bible class rooms and other features of the skyscraper institutional church. The main example In New York of this type is. the Broadway Tabernacle, twelve stories high, in which the institutional departments are housed on separate floors. Pittsburg has a church located in a fourteen-story office building, to the end that the beouest devoting Its site to "church purposes always and ever should not be nullified. As against these examples of utilitarian church architecture the new Cathedral of St. John the Divine reproduces the ancient form of ecclesiastical construction in all its stateliness. But the significant thing is the evidence shown of a disposition to make the city church edifice conform ar chltecturally to its environment. The skyscraper c hutch has been evolved from the skyscraper office building and hotel, and that it is the type of church of the future seems probable.
The Strenuous Woman. From the Chicago Tribune. Woman, whether In her hours of ease or In her moments of greatest strenuosity, is no longer coy, but seems as hard to please as ever. Contemplate her doings for but one day as revealed In newspaper reports. Observe her heroic assault upon the Guildhall dinner In Ixmdon, when the toast to th king's health was interrupted by the breakage of windows, followed by her soft and low voice an excellent thing in woman demanding the ballot for her sex. Read also of the gallant charge of the -woman's broom brigade upon the street cars of St. Louis, that those filthy conveyances might be cleansed. Meditate upon the three women slain in a riot by soldiers in the Calabrian hills, where once her sex was content to sit by the herds and listen to the piping of lovelorn Strephons.
- Distinction. From the Brooklyn Eagle. We have the word of his private secretary for It that the late Mr. Harrlman never swore at anybody. In a profane land that of itself is enough to make a distinguished man.
MASONIC CALENDAR. Saturday, Nov. 20 Loyal Chapter. Jo. 49, O E. S., stated meeting.
ONE HUNDRED YEARS An even hundred years to the day. John Fletcher Medearis was born a century ago in that same year which saw the birth of that galaxy of men and women whose centenaries have been celebrated this year. Lincoln, Gladstone, Derwin and many more who played full parts in the Human Comedy. But John Medearis was one of us we who are the onlookers. For onlookers there must be in the larger events though we may take our minor part in the Scheme of Things.
What a century it was! The frontier passing through all its phases into highly organized society that was a far greater spectacle than the fall of Empires and the death agonies of Kings. It is really truer history. The rest is froth.
As if to point to what the future may hold in store for the onlookers who remain the dispatches lately have had much to say of the organization of a billion dollar telegraph trust a trust of trusts. (And yet the trust is a modern invention of which Fletcher Medearis saw the development.) The dispatches bore the news of the first case of contempt of the Supreme Court. It saw the labor union leaders committed to prison. They bore the news of an abortive sentence a farce of a chauffeur ot the rich who had killed a poor child three months in Jail. The news of anarchist troubles here in America.
What will the next hundred years have to do with the average onlooker who is not in the whirlpool of events? Fletcher Medearis saw the Republic (not long founded at his birth) in the throes of a terrible rebellion. Is there a greater revolution coming in which the people as people shall get their rights? A man makes sport lately at the Socialists. "Work or die battle and achieve or slink away and bite the dust" he says. Over many of the methods and details of the present Socialistic creeds there is indeed much to ponder over and to be sceptical of such things work out their own methods and details. But the problem of the next hundred years is going to be that of those who work and die working with never an advance; those who battle and who do not achieve; those who do not slink away but rush into the fray artl bite the dust. There i a growing fear at the hearts of people that the enemies of the Republic? are getting too powerful. And whether that is right or wrong will not matter when the thing becomes too much for the endurance of the people. This would seem to be the problem which Fletcher Medearis as an onlooker saw the beginnings of.
In another one hundred years when the trust which controls all the trusts comes how many onlookers will there be? ? ? ? Let us be optimistic.
A CONSPIRACY? We have already mentioned the news story sent out from Washington last week to the effect that there is an organized conspiracy to discredit Mr. Taft's administration with the hope of re-electing Mr. Roosevelt to the presidency. A cynical observer might easily remark that the less said about that contingency the better, for those who do not desire 'Mr. Roosevelt's re-election to the office of chief executive. Perhaps some day tho history of that story will be known and it will be interesting reading. In the meantime, however, the facts remain only too much the same as before the article was dished out to such newspapers as cared for various reasons 1 to publish it.
We do not imagine that the ordinary obscure citizen is worrying about the four years after this administration half as much as he is about this one. About the next four years he will at least have the privilege of voting as between two men, if he is not hopelessly addicted either to party or to staying at home on election day. What the ordinary, average, obscure citizen is worrying about is this next three and one-half years. The country over, it must be confessed, we are a trifle disappointed in President Taft. We had all prepared ourselves for what someone happily called a "change, not in policy, but in the temperament of performance." We all expected Mr. Taft to be judicial he has been on the bench. But what we were not prepared for is the apparent attitude of the administration a change of policy a default of the Roosevelt policy. The country over it is also true that we were all disposed to give Mr. Taft more than a show we even keyed ourselves up. We had confidence that his honesty, his trained mind, his good impulses, his judicial powders and his proved efficiency would be more than a match for the Powers That Prey. It has thus far been a tragedy. It is all the more pitiable that Mr. Taft has been imposed on, that he has been hood-winked, that he has been approached in his most vulnerable spots by his most intimate friends. He has been persuaded that the newspapers are mere howlers who never are satisfied and are enraged because of the outcome of the tariff rates on wood pulp. He has been persuaded that the Insurgents axe mere hypocrites playing for political position. He has been persuaded that everything is rosy and that nothing is wrong, while in his very Cabinet the Secretary of the Interior has been proved guilty of very serious things. He has been the victim of suggestions applied by a most successful "sphere of influence" that he must create a policy of "his own" and let alone the Roosevelt policies which he pledged himself to support. Not many years ago with fine courage, Mr. Taft opposed Boss Cox of Cincinnati. He did not care so much for party regularity as for honesty at that time. The Winona speech was a deliberate and studied effort to make party regularity and boss-Aldrichism identical.
No. what the people fear is not an organized conspiracy to discredit Mr. Taft. That, with true sportsmanship they would resent. What they are fearful of, is that the influence of those around him will turn his honest efforts to do the right thing into the complete comfort of the greatest enemies of the republic.

one problem that directly and tremen
dously touches the millions whose welfare constitutes the very existence of the nation. Prosperity Not the Cure. As Mr. Hill sees it. there must be deep and serious consideration, and without unnecessary delay, of the
! questions dealing with the cost of food ! and dress of the people of the country.
Prosperity is not the cure, he admits, although it is a help. "It is better," he said, "that men should be working at $2 a day while they are paying : cents a pound for meat to go alon,? with their vegetables rather than be without work and having to make purchases at practically the same prices." Mr. Hill was asked about the much-talked-about water power trust of the west. "I do not know of any such trust." said Mr. Hill. "It will be necessary to do like Benjamin Franklin and go up into the clouds to find out about the water trust." Yet Mr. Hill believes in conservation of natural resources. "What we need above anything else, howevei, is economy in all directions."

Cost of Living These Days Is Dangerous to the Country's Welfare.
PROBLEM FOR STATESMEN
J. J. HILL IN AN INTERVIEW GIVEN AT THE WHITE HOUSE STATES THAT IT PRESAGES A NATIONAL DECLINE.
Wshington, D. C. Nov. 18. "History shows that the high cost of living is the beginning of every national decline," philosophized James J. Hill at the White House after he had talked with the president. "Of course it is better that men should be working for $2 a day while they are paying UO cents a pound for meat than to be without work and have the price of food at the present level, but the future of the country would be more certainly secured if a reduction in the cost of living could be brought about." Mr. Hill did not wish to go into an amplification of his views or furnisti a panacea for the ill that he sees la threatening the country. Generally speaking, however, he thought that economy the cutting down of useless expenditures individual and governmentalwould go further than anything else toward aiding in improvement of conditions. Has Studied History. Mr. Hill is serious in his views of the danger threatening the country in the constant increase in the cost of living. He has studied history, and he finds, as he stated, that national decline begins when the cost of living becomes a burden to the masses, while the .immensely rich are in no wise affected. Mr. Hill believes that the great minds of the country should turn their attention to this question rather than
