A BRAVE PREA CHER.
Sermon Which Deals in
Everyday Affairs IN Plain
Language.


In q recent address the Rev. Burt
Estes Howard, the noted Congrega.
tional preacher of Los Angeles, seid /:
mo policy was ever adopted in the
history of the world that savored
more of the sophistry that good end
justified corrupt means It. is like
playing the hsrlot to obtain money to
put on the collection plate. Do not
tell me that men manipulated that
great fund for buying votes, the men
who intimated and coerced by threats
iof various calamities the poor voter
who was forced to make merchandise
of his menhood in order to hold his
position and save his little ones from
starvation; do not tell me that these
men who subverted the fundamental
principles of republican form of
government, the right of independents
suffrage and the free choice of those
who shall rule over us, believe in re-
publican institutions. They do not.
They believe that they have found
something better than . democracy.
They have bartered the legacy of orr
forefsthrrs for financial and COM
mercial despotism.
IF some man would declare that
this talk of coercion is false, he must
20 to someone else besides me to find
q patient and crednlons listner to his
lying preaching. Was l not sp-
preached in my own study with sub le
threatenings aud ipsinuationsY Was
l not myself told that should vote
for that princely snll whom am
proud to call my friend, William
Jennings Bryan. whom any man may
call bis friend, for be is the friend Of

to these but the continued discus
sion and Investigation coupled
with increased experience will
soon clear many of the features of
the problem which now seem so
perplexing.
At the recent meeting of the
Iowa engineering society the re
ports showed that so per cent of
counties in the stale have not
adopted as yet any permanent
system Of road work or plan for
the construction Of hard roads and
that 20 per cent of the counties
have good road material available
Thus it appears that there is n
general need for an energetic pro-
motion of the movement and
means are right at hand for MAX
ing the movement successful.
In many Of the counties investi-
cations are going on and tests are
being made so that it app Ears that
interest is being thoroughly arous-
ed and that the great need now ia
the devising Of methods and the
enactment If laws. To order to
obtain great and permanent turn
pixies traversiDg the state in differ.
ent directions aud with which
the shorter roadways may be

counties and such general provi-

township patches disconnected
