A Highland Boy Coming Up.

Seven years living in the West
have surely brought the kinks out
of Jacob Chew. We remember him
AS a school boy here not many
years ago. From his general APP.
pearance, his surroundings and the
efforts he then put forth, one could
not have bespoken for his future
NJ more than the position of a
fifty cents a day laborer. He went
West, and lie tell us when he land
ed in Iowa seven years ago he had
fifteen cent, in lis pocket and owed
$4,000, drawing eight per cent.
interest. He came back the
other day to visit his old
nome and will likely SPEND the
winter here. By a whole lot We
did not find the same Jake Chew
The change in his appearance and
manner is very mark ed. We found
him to be an intelligent young
man, well up on farming, stock
raising and the general business OF
the section in which he lived.
He did not strike it rich. but by
work and economy, he gradually
accumulated money enough to
farm on what We consider a right
large scale. This year lie and his
partner have rented q half section
on which they have the following
crops: 10 acres of corn; 1906
bushels barley; 1900 bushels oat
and 70 acres wheat. The prices
now are: corn so cents; oats 80
cents; wheat rs cents. He says he
has known corn to be as low us 10
cents a d oats s cents.
With every thing against him
this boy has done well and is in a
position to command the respect
and good wishes Of his friends.
One thing he did not do, he meyer
drank whiskey.

Another Fire.

Wednesday evening at 3 o'clock
Mr. w Crummett's stable, with
contcnts-a stock of hay-was burIl-
ed to the ground, and it was by the
hardest and most skiIlful work
that it is possible for an unframed

promptly formed and gallon of

supposed the fire started by spark

Who would have believed that

ADVICE.
There seems to be no reason to expect
that the church will ever regain it's for
mer dominance, or that there will be
any general or marked revival of re-
ligious sentiment. There seems to be
growing feeling that the more intelli-
gent people have outgrown religion in
the old and usual sense of the word. A
large proportion of those who dominate
and lead in the affairs Of life show no
signs that they entertain any religious
sentiment. Partially through the force
of inertia and partially to adapt their
discourse to the less critical and less in
telligent classes who largely compose
their congregations, the ministers still
preach dogmas and inculcate beliefs
which are quite generally ignored or
openly flouted outside the walls of the
church. On the other hand, preaching
in the orthodox churches is now largely
devoted to explaining away or apollo
gizing for the old beliefs, and the for
merly accepted teachings of the Bible and
the creeds. For example, the "Ency-
clopedia Biblica," a new work, edited
by eminent ministers of the English
orthodox churches, after playing havoc
with the old notions and beliefs, touch
ing the historical value of the Old Tes-
lament, seriously questions the story of
Christ's resurrection and ascension, and
asks whether there are "any credible
elements to be found in the gospels at
ALL" The London Spectator observes
that the German "higher critic" DR..
Adolf Harnac, 'holds up in one hand
to our admiration, the perfect flower of
the Christian faith and hope, while with
the other hand he cuts away their
roots" The constant exhibition of the
pouring of new wine into old bottles
which the present day pulpit affords lis far
from reassuring or acceptable to people
of intelligence and rational tendencies,
who are becoming more and more nu-
merous. The result is that they give
the church the go-by and it is thus left
in the hands of the less virile and pro-
gressive classes.
The prevailing sensational advertising
of their services by the ministers, which
is repulsive to people of dis
eliminating taste and Judgment, illus
trates the foregoing observation. No
doubt those who are attached to the
churches are benefited by them +; and
so the devices and methods employed to
attract and entertain may not be
sweepingly condemned. We regret the
fact that our booksellers sell hundred
copies of "Munsey's" or the Historical
novels" to every one of the magazines
or books which contain fiction or other
matter of a high order; but on the
whole, we think that it is better for peo-

RESTRICTED MONOPOLIES.


The slightest consideration should
make it evident that the production of
some commodities may be absolutely
monopolized; that is, may be wholly
within the control of single individuals,
without giving those individuals the
least power to oppress their fellow men.
In other cases, it is equally clear that
any possibilities in the direction of ad-
vancing prices are closely restricted.
One or the other of these things will
occur whenever there is an alternative
commodity that can be used with ap-
proximately, equal satisfaction and
which can be supplied at about the
same cost. Thus prices of many food
products are inter dependent and mutu-
ally regulative, for slight variations in
the price of one will often lead to the
general substitution of another. A suf-
ficient advance in the price of common
lumber will lead to the use of brick,
stone or concrete, for building purposes
high prices for anthracite lead to the
use of bituminous coal and many now
use the wines of California instead of
those of France, on account of differences
in their cost. In all these cases, it is evil
dent that the existence of the possible sub
stitute limits the price Of the article for
which it is an alternative. The effect
iveness of this limit depends upon the
degree of ease with which the substitute
can be made, and the extent in which
the purpose of the article formerly used
is really served by that to be put in it's
place. In the instances that have been
mentioned, it is clear that the substitu-
ton cannot be effected without some
friction due to precOnceptions, and in
some of them there would be genuine
loss on account of the change. The
transportation of freight offers one of
the most evident examples of facility in
substitution of this kind, that is any
where available. For example, the
great corn market of Peoria, ILL.,, may
obtain supplies from Kansas, Nebraska,
corn is sold in Peoria, it is not merely
the corn that is paid for, but that corn
plus transportation from the point at
which it was raised, to Peoria. Thus,
while there is no substantial difference
in the article desired by the purchasers,
and hence, no preference for one supply
ing region rather than another, the
transportation is of many kinds and
may be supplied by many different
agencies. If the lines from one region
charge too much, their commodity,
transportation from that region, will be
unstable at the high price, and that
| from another region, more reasonably

THE PREACHERS PLANT.

Beall to the secular press to inform the
Christian ministry what it shall do to
save the church, imports a wobbly con-
dition, either of the ministry or the
church, or both, which, unasked THE
CONSERVATIVE would not have ventured
to point out. Presuming Mr.. Beall's as
sumption that the church is in an in
efficient and unhealthy condition to be
correct, The CONSERVATIVE does not
think that it can be cured, or much
helped by any specific that itself or any
other doctor could prescribe. The
trouble is owing to a condition and not
to theory and THE CONSERVATIVE
fails to see anything unnatural or alb
normal in this condition. The ministry
and the church, like other social institu-
tions, are the products of demand and
supply, which have arisen in the regular
evolution of society. This evolution,
having been unusually rapid during the
last quarter century, and religion and
the church being naturally slow in
growth and development, it would not
be remarkable if there should be more
than the usual lack of adaptation of these
institutions to the rest of the social
organism, of which they are compo-
nent, or that they should be over-strain
ing to "catch up in the adapting pro-
cess. Religion, as ordinarily under
stood, is based in the main upon mystery
and emotion. Rationalism and CONNER
cialism-which latter is the striving for
earthly comforts-are the leading and
overpowering influences of present So
cial conditions, and they have wrenched
the more progressive people away from
the old notions of religion. There is,
thus, the same confusion in the religious
as there is in the commercial world.
The priests of religion and the priests of
industrialism are straining themselves
Just now, much more than commonly, to
rapidly changing conditions. Society is
making over religion just as it is max
ing over commercial rules, customs and
systems; and THE CONSERVATIVE sees
no efficacy in or need for artificial
plans and specifications for what is
bound to be, Gin the long rum, natural
and gradual process of growth and ad
justment. Society is getting the sort of
preachers and preaching that it de-
mands. The minister and the merchant
alike, and inevitably, under our COM
petitive system, strive to furnish the
wares which "the trade" requires; and
about the only pertinent observation to
be made anent this condition is, "What-
ever is is right" The CONSERVATIVE
takes it that Brother Beall and the rest
of his craft are as apt to "sense" the de-
mands of their constituency as merch-
