order to remedy this shortage in

One OF the most damaging eff

NORTH MANKATO W. c. T. U.
kUhLEs& sIoek, ST PAUL. .nAkEEs

The subject which was to have been
studied at the North Mankato w. G.
L. U. meeting yesterday at the home
OF Mrs, Nixon was entirely crowded
out by the question which is upper
most in the minds of all Mankatonians,
namely, shall we have license or no
hcensef There was no opposition as
all were united for no license.
The discussion was all along tAe line
of what can we women do to bring
about the desired result at the coming
election?
There is little that disfranchised
citizen can do when it comes to decid-
ing things by ballot, no matter if the
safety of their homes and loved ones
are at stake, consequently it took much
talk and planning to come to any de-
cision, but finally few plans were
laid which it is hoped will help in
at least small measure. Surely we
cannot remain silent when 80 much is
at stake. At the close of the meeting
delicious refreshments were served
and social hour enjoyed and all re-
mained until the very last moment
possible for each
At the next regular meeting Mrs.
Mabel L. Conklin, national lecturer and
organizer for the w. G. T. U. will be
present and will give an address to
mothers, MRS. f. I. RANDALL.

DWIGHT L. MOODY.
Eulogy by Newell Dwight HiIlis...Last of
the Great Group.

When long time has passed. some
historian, recalling the great epochs
and religious teachers of our century,
will say, 'There were four men sent
forth by God; their names Charles
spurgeon, Phillips Brooks, Henry
Ward Beecher and Dwight L Moody"
Each was the herald of good tidings,
each was prophet Of new social and
religious order. God girded each of
these prophets for his task, and taught
him how to "dip his sword in heaven"
In characterizing the message of
these men we say that Spurgeon was
expositional, Phillips Brooks devotional
Henry Ward Beecher prophetic and
philosophical, while Dwight L. Moody
was herald rather than teacher, ad-
dressing himself to the common people
the unchurched multitudes. The
symbol of the great English preacher is
lighted lamp, the symbol of Brooks a
flaming heart, the symbol of Beecher
an orchestra of many instruments,
while Mr.. Moody was trumpet, sound
ing the advance, sometimes through
inspiration and sometimes through
alarm.
The first three were commanders,
each over his regiment, and worked
from fixed center, but the evangelist
was the leader of flying band who
went everywhither into the enemy's
country, seeking conquest of peace and
righteousness. Be the reasons what
they may, the common people gladly
heard the great evangelist.
T. P. Thomas is the agent for the
Life,of Mr.. Moody.

THE PORTO RICAN BILL,

The Republican leaders in the house
are fearful that they will not be able to
control enough votes to pass the Porto
Rican tariff bill The spirit of following
the president is growing and it begins
to look as though enough members
would stand out to defeat the bill
There is no doubt but that congress has
the right to impose duties upon the
trade between Porto Rico and the states
if it sees fit 80 to do, but in this ques-
tion there is no question but that the
president is in the right, and that trade
between the island and the states should
be absolutely free. There are no
interests that would be materially in
jured in the long run by such a move.
on the other hand conditions are such
that the states, as we'll as Porto Rico
would be benefited by such course
in the end. Nor would such legisla-
tion make precedent by which Porto
Rico or any other acquired island po-
session would have to be admitted in
time as state. The Minneapolis
Journal points out that the territory
which has hitherto been acquired and
admitted as states. had provision in the
treaties for such an outcome, but that
that the treaty with Spain, whereby
Porto Rico and the Philippines were
acquired, contained no such stipula-
tion and this country is left free to act
in the premises as it considers
best for the future of the islands.
Therefore the position held by the Re-
publican leaders that the constitution
does not apply to these possessions, and
can not apply without act of congress,
is sound, but that does not necessarily
prescribe that duties shall be levied
upon trade between the states and
these possessions. That is a matter
which existing conditions entirely
should govern. In this case existing
conditions point to absolute free trade
as preferable. The party leaders in
congress will find the president in this
instance very much more safe leader
than certain interested parties who are
looking only to their own personal in
terest. This is case where the coun-
try is not calling for the levying of pro-
tective duties, and the peoples repre-
sentatives at Washington ought to get
on to that fact.

Light Shining Out of Darkness.

God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind frowning providence,
He hides smiling face.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And soon his work is vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will ma it plain.
