is Doing Good lmmoraEP

The enormous sale in England of "In His
Steps; or, What Would Jesus Dor by the
Rev. Charles M. Sheldon has attracted The
attention of the literary reviews of both
continents, and one eminent critic has Gre
ated something sensational by declaring
the book immoral because it is an attack ON
the existing order of things. He cannot re-
strain his disgust because "In His Steps"
shows so plainly that as we live now it is
impossible to lead Christian life. This
critic and Mr. Sheldon stand for two great
opposing forces. The former is for letting
things be, for not disturbing the thieves in
the temple or mentioning the devouring Of
widows houses by makers of long prayers,
for tat and greasy contentment that
serves mammon under the cloak of God.
Mr. Sheldon is for Christianity of deeds.

MINNEAPOLIS Mills.

Minneapolis Lumberman: Mon
day afternoon the water in the river
had fallen to such a point that the
log committee gave orders for the
Boom company to begin turning
logs to the mills Tuesday morning,
and at five o'clock the turning be-
gan. But by night the water had
risen again, and gave promises OF
such further rises that the boom
company was ordered to shut down
once more, and at the present writ
ing logs are not running to the mills.
One small lot of logs went over, the
falls by reason of the high water,
but the loss was small. During the
shut down of the boom, all the mills
except the Backus- Brooks mill had
shut down for want OF logs. Some
OF the mills closed two weeks ago
and others but one week ago, while
three OF the mills have done a little
saving this week. The river is now
at standstill as to stage of water,
and the same report comes from
Little Falls. The boom company
hopes to begin work again by
Saturday.

Ifour friends who enth use over

dustries-we shall be obliged.
Little Falls Herald.
That is pro blem that the
friends of the Herald '7ill not
have as much leisure to study on
as they might if there was that
woeful lack of increase of wages,
or of any wages at all, that char
acter1zed the times during the late
lamented Democratic control of
public affairs. Most everybody
has work now, and generally at in.
creased wages, and some questions
now present themselves that were
unknown in the days of free trade.
At that time there was the reverse
of the question whether the in
crease of wages was in fair pro-
portion to the increase of value of
product. Then when mill shut
down, and no wages were paid, or
articles produced, the loss to both
employer and employe was SO fair
~ and accurately adjusted that
neither could possibly find any
fault that the other side was get.
ting the best of it. There was no
ground for the complaint as be-
tween the employer and employee.
At the risk Of creating the prob
lem that tho Herald repeats, a
national policy was 1nagurated by
the Republican administration
that has resulted in demand for
labor and a demand for products.
Labor has almost universally risen
in prlce in the United States, and
many products have increased in
value. The increase in wages was
proceeded by a still more impor'
tant increase in the oppor-
tunity to work. It would be
strange if the adjustment of all
the increases would be what all
would agree on as REASONABLY
proportionate." But it is fortu.
nate for the nation that the ques-
ton is of that character--that the
investigation is as to whether
prosperity is equally distributed,
rather than as to the equal distri-
button of disaster and calamity.

w. w. Jermane, Washington
correspondent of Minneapolis
Journal: 1t is now regarded as
certain legislation will be under
taken next winter to place the
gov ernmenG securely upon the
gold basis. Since the meeting Of
the senate committee on finance in
New York recently the sentiment
in favor of legislation of this kind
has grown rapidly. Republican
leaders want to take away the
possibility now existing that some
future secretary Of the treasury
may place the government on a
silver basis by simply proceeding
to pay all the ''coin" obligations
in silver. The text of the pro-
posed law is already being dis
cussed. The proper time to tie
the country fast to the gold stan
dard is believed to be when bu 81
ness is good and gold plentiful.
