Tillamook Headlight, June 3, i91o. er accomplished anything so marve- lous. Sixty-five years ago the national wealth was only $7,00,0000,000 or about one twenty-sixth part of what it is now. Only a little more than 15 per cent of our present wealth is given as real estate, the rest is what our people have made out of good old mother earth. What astonishes us most is that Ill inois is placed a little ahead of Pen- nyslvania in the matter of wealth. It it is true that the difference is only a OF THE paltry $26,000,000, which, we^presurne any patriotic Pennsylvanian would gladly have contributed to give our state second rank.

There may be some just ground for this assertion, for somehow, re ligion is not run on the same econ omical basis as business is transacted. Everybody wouldth ink it absurd to have a postoffice for every Protestant denomination in this city wouldn’t they? Yet, as a matter of fact, that is what the church people of 1 illamook are doing when it comes to public worship , and it is no wonder that some of them have a hard time rustl ing money to meet expenses. Really, if we could all place our religious prejudices aside, wouldn’t we have to admit that we lacked business sa gacity, when one large church is all that is needed. Religious prejudices, however, are so strong that no de nomination will budge, and we sup pose that small congregations and empty pews will prevail for a long time yet. FREE !
