We hope every Republican wi II bear in
mind the caucuses that are to be held
tomorrow night and make it a point to
attend them, even if it puts him to con-
siderable inconvenience The character
of the next city government will practi-
oally be determined tomorrow night.
There are plenty of fit candidates and.
we regret to say, there are some unfit
ones whose names will be presented in
the caucuses. There is little danger that
any of the latter will be selected if Re.
publicans turn out as they should. If
citizens do not take interest enough in
the character of the municipal govern
ment to take part in the selection of can
didates they ought not to complain If the
government is not what they would like
to..have it.

The Religion of Hope, by Philip Stat
ford Moxom, aut thor of The Aim of
Life'' and "Erom Jerusalem to Nioaea. !"
DIR. Moxom's leading qualities as thinker
and writer are, simplicity, clearness and
rare combination Of optimism with the
deepest sense of responsibility. note
here and there will show the dominant
tone of his teaching.
''The great business of life is not to do
things but to become something large
and fair. As it is not the deed itself, but
the motive, in which lies the moral
character of the deed, SO it is not the
specific task that Is done, but "the
mind with which it is done. that
ennobIes both deed and doer. Here is
the central point Of highest human fell
lowship, that fellowship into which we
are oil invited, tho possibility, not of
doing great things, but of doing all
things greatly "The process OF true
reform is so slow, 50 difficult and 80 cost
~, and there are so many hindrances to
progress presented by human stupidity
and selfshness and moral and intellectual
inertness, that he who contemplates the
enterprise of lettering human life is beset
by the temptation to give up, to let
things remain as they are, and to draw
apart in Indifference or cynicism; or to
grow impatient and shatter things, to
break down and destroy indiscriminately.
Resist both temptations. Believe in pro-
gress and improvement. Seek persistently
the larger truth, the purer form and the
higher state. Let abolition and destruc-
ton serve the bsnefcent, constructive
purpose. The process begins within.
Make the tree good and it's fruit good.
Strive to free your minds from bondage
to errors which are half truths by NOV
ing onward into the fuller truth"

volume represent the thought of an eight

1880 to $685. They appear by request and
we do not hesitate to say that the asking
is fully justified tor while as sermons
they are not extraordinary. they are far
more than that, for we have here helpful,
inspiring, earnest instruction on spiritual
themes and on the practical application
of the highest truths to this world and
the men and women in it today. (Bos-

financial problem as to cause the

everywhere by audiences compe,en,
TO detect their misstatemen,s and TO
scorn their fact-obscuring rhetoric
about sound money" which is no,
sound, aud The national houor,n
which is quite as dear to other ci,i-
zens as to their privileged selves.
Here is a paragraph from the RteA-
mond speech that is worth miles of
ordinary campaign ora.efy:
"We apply the law OF supply and
demand to money. We cay the
value Of a dollar depends on the
number of dollars, and ,ha, YOU can
raise the value of q dollar by making
the dollars scarce, and we charge
that our opponents are in favor of
making money scarce because they
are controlled by those who want
money dear. If you are in favor OF
dear money you ought 10 vote the
Republican ,icke. It you are In
favor pt making money the only
thing which it is desirable 10 own
and making property the thing tha,
everybody wants to get rid OF, you
want to vote the Republican ticket,
because the Republican party pro.
poses to continue the present 6nan'
cial system, the object Of which is t.
make it more profitable TO hoard
money and get the increase in The
riee OF the value OF q dollar than Il
put that dollar to work employing
labor aud developing the resources
OF this great country"
That is good sense. 1t is the grea
issue of the campaign. II the people
