DR.. LEES NEW BOOK.
Former Kenosha Co Man Makes valuable
Addition to Theological Literature.

A former Kenosha boy, Rev. F. L.
Lee, now of Evanston, Ill., is the
author of a book entitled popular
Misconception as to Our Faith Life''
1t has just been issued by the Pilgrim
Press, Boston, in a handsome volume
of 200 pages. His study of popular
misconceptions is divided into four
sections, comprising fourteen chapters.
The book has already received num-
erous complimentary notices from the
press and other sources. The Chicago
Advance says of it: Though new to
authorship, Rev. F. T. Lee is by no
means new to the ministry, being well
known in the interior as having held
important pastorates in Wisconsin,
Iowa and Illinois. The book is largely
the outgrowth of pastoral experience
and is addressed to problems which
confront every pastor as we'll as every
christian worker, It is intensely
practical, not growing out of clustered
study, but of efforts in the activity of
the pastorate, to meet real difficulties
and real needs. Because it is the out
growth of experience it will be sug-
gestive to ali christian workers.
1t grapples with realities, and pre-
sents ideas which have proved worka-
BILE and useful. Books which have
written themselves out of actual Cir
cumstance are the books which touch
us most closely, and it is our impress
sion that the book before us belongs
to this class"
Prof. George P. Fisher, the eminent
church historian of Yale Divinity
school, New Haven, Conn, says of the
book: as. AE
81 have been struck by the variety
and practical Importance of the topics,
and with the discrimination, the judi
cious spirit and the catholic tone with
which they are handled
Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston, says:
''This volume is dedicated to ODER
lin college, the authors alma mater,
and find nothing in it in dissonance
with this lofty and inspiring keynote.
The book has the evangelical, biblical
and devoutly practical tone character
istic of Oberlin. It is a most timely
and also a fair and searching discus
sion of many subtle evils within the
now and then somno1ent church mill
tant itself, to say nothing of the abb
surdities and spiritual perverseness of
its foes. The publishers have made a
handsome volume. l have seen no
better work of printers from the Pill
grim Press"

purchase of a farm for the use of the
paupers of the city. One for the Mari
farm, west of the city on Prairie ave-
nue., containing 100 acres, and offered
to the city with all the buildings at
$500; and for any portion of the Sci
leck farm, south west of the city, which
was offered at the rate of $50 for any
number of acres the city might want
to purchase, to include the buildings
on the farm. The matter was referred
to the pauper committee.
An invitation to attend the state en-
campment of the G.. A. r. and the
coming meeting of the Wisconsin
League of Municipalities were accept
ed.
Aid. Smith presented bill for his
services as dock inspector, which
brought forth fight. Aid. Head OPP
posed the payment of Smith on the
grounds that in order for the alderman
to draw pay from the city he must have
the unanimous consent of the Council.
Aid. Head stated that he was opposed
to the payment of the alderman and
asked that the matter be referred to al
attorney. Judge Slater was ordered
to look into the matter and report to
the Council at it's next meeting.
At the recommendation of the COM
mittee on streets, alleys and bridges,
Peter Schutts was appointed bridge
tender.
The. pauper committee asked for
further time to report on the advis-
ability Of purchasing poor farm.
The Haynes-Clansen ordinance was
then taken up and given its first read
ing and ordered to take the usual
course.
1t was getting late when this matter
was completed, but C. Va11ette Kasson,
of Chicago, addressed the Council in
regard to the use of compressed air
motors for street cars and asked that
the Council take some. action in regard
to seeing that compressed air motors
were used on any railway constructed
in this city. The matter was present
ed in ali it's phases and made quite an
impression on the Council and the aid
ermen will probably give the matter
serious consideration,
Council then adjourned.

Death of Mrs, Hodgson

Esther Enos, daughter of E1ihu Enos
was born in 1913. She was married to
Mr.. John Hodgson in 1860. He became
a resident of Waukesha at an early
day, and gained considerable promin-
ence as a civil engineer and surveyor,
having run his chains over most of
Waukesha and Milwaukee counties.
He died in 1869. Mrs. Hodgson, in
1886, was smitten with paralysis, and
has been bedridden and helpless ever
since. She died Tuesday morning,
June 5, at the residence of her brother,
Col. H. M. Enos.
She was prominent member of the
Methodist church, a Sabbath school
teacher, a member of the official
Board. She was financially, socially
and spiritually a pillar in the church.
Her charity was general as the light,
but not pharasaic. Her left hand Gid
not know the benevolence of her right.
For several years she was trustee of
Lawrence University. A brave, pur-
posefu1, devoted Christian woman,
loved most by those who knew her
best.

A FEDERAL grand jury has been
called in Milwaukee to Investigate
pension frauds in Wisconsin. Some
months ago a number of pension
agents went through this State max
ing Investigations into pension frauds
and their reports are to go before the
grand Jury. Great secrecy is being
observed and nothing can be learned
of the nature of the frauds beyond the
statement that they were conducted on
q large scale and the government was
cheated out of large sum. Sincerely
as we hope that our own State has not
been extensively concerned in pension
frauds, we as earnestly hope, out of
justice to the old soldier, that wher-
ever it exists in the Badger State it
may be located and eradicated.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel says;
Make way for the ladies" with as
much dignity as if it were the spon-
taueous action of a generous, gallant
heart, determined to help the strug-
Cling women in their little, innocent,
intellectual fro1ic. It's all right in the
Sentinel to make this 1audable effort
to maintain, at least, a dignified front.
But how different are the facts. How
sad for the masculine mind to cOntem-
plate is the actual condition of affairs.
In reality the Sentinel is simply and
hastily getting out of the way of the
ladies. Like all the rest of the males
extant in Milwaukee, the editor of the
Sentinel is reduced, for the time being,
TO all intents and purposes, to a condi-
ton of mon est" But if they are in
need of comfort, let them contemplate
the hot time that will be had all over
the Union, outside of Milwaukee, for
the next few days, in which the men
will be the whole thing.

WHENEVER and wherever Governor
Scofe1d speaks he is seldom able to
refrain from referring to the duties of
citizenship. We have never before
had governor of Wisconsin who has
shown himself so appreciative of what
constitutes true citizenship and so
jealous in intoxicating its principles as
Gov. Scofeld Nearly all of his public
speeches have had some reference to
this question of paramount import
ance. He exa1ts citizenship to a
high place, but none too high to be
commensurate with the demands of a
Republic like ours and the capabilities
of it's citizens. Gov. Scofe1d finds the
response to all cries for reform in the
fuller citizenship of the American peo-
pie. A more profound sense of the
duties of citizenship is to be the solu-
ton of our gravest political problems
and the means of righting present po-
1itical wrongs. Such a conception of
citizenship, with its responsibility
and powers, as Gov. Scofe1d cher
ashes, renders citizenship an honor
w8aich its possessor would guard with
the strictest care, and privilege to be
8oasted with justifab1e pride.

OUT Of nearly thirteen hundred mil
lions of dollars worth of merchandise
carried between the United States and
Europe during the fiscal year ending
Jun6 8, 1899, less than three million
dollars worth was carried in Ameri-
can ships other than those of the
Americansline. The latter named line
carried more than forty million dol
lars worth. Foreign ships carried
gtwelve hundred and fifty million dol
liars worth. And yet the foreign lines
are concentrating all of their opposi-
ten to the passage of the shipping
bill upon the only American line IN
the transatlantic trade.

In the People We Trust.

DURING his recent speech before the
Senate, replying to an interruption by
Senator Hale, in which the Senator
from Maine gave expression to his
suspicious that the pledge Of this
country regarding Cuba would never
be redeemed, Senator Spooner made
the following remarks:
This is a government of honor and
it is a people of honor. When the
Senator expresses fear that the peo-
pies desire to keep the pledge of this
government will be allowed to s1unber
by the voice Of commercia1ism, he de-
grades the people and underestimate
their integrity. What have we done
/ for Cuba? When since the morning
stars first sang together in the heav-
ems has any people done for another
people what we have done for Cuba?
AS speedily as may be, in absolute
good faith, not being hurried by den1a-
gogY in violation of National honor,
by insinuation and vena1 politics in
Presidential election, this administra-
ton is going forward to redeem to it's
utmost the pledge to Cuba. We have
given them the best government, thus
far, they ever had. Every man S life is
safe in Cuba; every woman's honor IS
safe in Cuba. Death and tyranny and
starvation have gone forever out OF
Cuba. Of course there has been pecu-
1ation. Every one is ashamed OF 1T.
But in no government ever instituted
has that not occurred. But it never
will turn out that any man in any
country can point to the Teller resolu-
ton and say with truth that it was a
Legislative 1ie."
If Senator Hale is right in his posi-
ton, the american people are not wor-
thy of trust. In that case, in a gov
eminent of the people and by the peo-
pie, what is to be the result? # our
Senators and Representatives do not
regard the integrity of the American
people sufficient to keep sacred this
governments pledges, then how are
we to conduct ourselves an dealing
with foreign nations, and how are
those nations to regard our acts? To
proceed on such a basis could mend
nothing, but would inevitably lead
only to dissension, discredit and dis
ruption. But the position taken by
Senator Hale is the wrong one, and
that taken by Senator Spooner is the
only one from which the problems con-
fronting a nation like ours can ever be
worked out. Since the days when
Alexander Hamilton undertook and
successfully performed the enormous
task of paying the debts of the new
United States, this Republic has never
proved itself false to its pledges. The
spirit of commercia1ism, of which
Senator Hale speaks, strong as is its
hold upon the American people, has
not rendered a whit less safe any trust
put into the hands of this govern
ment. Senator Spooner, in his brief
speech in reply to Mr.. Hale, en1pha-
sized his faith in the American people
and thereby proved himself a states
man head and shoulders above Mr..
Hale and all who, like him, base their
beliefs in distrust Of the people who
con titute the Republic of the United
States. So long as such men as Sena-
tor Spooner do the work in Congress,
the American people will be worthy of
trust and the honor of the government
of the United States will stand above
the possibility of question.
