THE POWER OF CRITICISM

The proper use Of tongue and pen
has been the chief element in all hui
man progress. The indiscriminate use
of these weapons has resulted in most
OF the strife with which the world has
been afflicted. In our politics there
hasn't been man but who has been
violently assailed and subjected TO
every indignity And this has not
come altogether from men of the op-
posing political faith. but from those
who are acting with the same organi-
zation. A scamp is called scamp,
but unfortunately the honest man fire.
auently gets the same epithet, not be-
cause il is true. but as a matter OF re-
taiiation.
We cannot ask the press TO keep 81
lent OF TO commend every man who
comes before the public. The founda-
tions of a republic are laid in free, fair
and full discussion. Il does not serve
our ends. however. II everyone in pub
Tic life is branded by abuse; neither
would the end be accomplished by gem
eral flattery. The corrective influence
in this. as in other matters. lies in the
people, and II they were quick TO
praise or TO condemn according TO the
use or abuse Of true criticism, it would
be made with greater discrimination.
Thene are two opposing doctrines,
one OF which is contained in this sem
tence: you can catch more flies with
molasses than with vinegar" Well,
the honest man is not after flies, but
after other men. and they are to be
caught with neither molasses nor vine
gar. The other view is expressed by
saying Tlf you don't get what you
want. kick" This usually means that
there is to be abuse OF everybody and
everything that stands in the path OF
our desire. Neither view is honest nor
correct. The true principle is to write
and speak what is true-if we write or
speak It at all. At times there Is no
good purpose served in publishing all
that can be proved. and we are in
clined TO think that conduct should
be determined by following this idea;
speak and write the truth only,
and that only when It is intended TO

passages we used they quoted and all
agreed. We say that this is most re-
markable
We might enter into an endless con-
troversy over this matter and never
reach conclusion. but we cannot re-
train from commenting on a few SEN
tences. Mr.. John says Christian Sci
entists do classify sickness as error
For If it is the natural. normal and
truthful condition OF the body, why
attempt to correct and heal it?' That
looks at first blush as though a
knockout had been given, but examine
il. and see what it means.
We may reduce it to the following
proposition: If it is natural for the
body to be sick. why interfere with
Natures plan by the use Of drugs?
NO" Christian Scientists say, 1t is
only an error, and that must be re-
moved Then it is natural for the
mind to be in error. since men get
sick: then why attempt to remove the
error? II men are not to interfere
with that which is natural and normal,
then 1t matters not whether II is an
error of the body or OF the mind.
Mr. John wants TO know whether
everyone hasn't the right TO choose
the method they think the most effi-
Client. and TO choose that method which
has already proved itself to be more
efiootual than other methodist" That
is both a question and an assertion,
and stripped OF its skillful phraseology
reads this way: Christian Science has
proved the best method OF healing, and
why shouldn't everyone be allowed to
use Il. We deny the premise, and we
answer that science doesn't recognize
that it has ever healed anyone, and
therefore II isn't necessary to answer
tho query part.
This question, too, assumes that
that boy of six made a choice Did he?
or was it made for him? OF il he made
a choice. was he competent to
make one? and should not the law
protect the ignorance of his tender
years? Then we read the old argu-
ment; don't persons die under ordi-
nary medical treatment, and therefore
why criticise the Christian Scientists
for the death OF their patients? The
worst quack uses that argument: It re-
moves all responsibility from the prac-
titioner and allows anyone to adminis-
ter any kind Of stuff patient may be
induced to take.
We are informed that even the ply
stefan who attended the case in ques-
ton admitted that It was a fatal dis
ease: Il was when he was called in.
but the average practitioner win tes-
tify that dlphtheritic Group is curable
in great percentage OF cases. But
why should It be incurable under a
treatment like Christian Science,
which says that diphtheritic Group IS
only IAN error in the throat? Evil
IDENTIFY II these practitioners cannot
remove it it is because they haven't
faith in their own theory, and, there
fore. should be disqualified.
We have looked in vain for any
proof OF the soundness Of this theory,
and all arguments that we have seen
have been skillfully worded, and based
on tho most impossible fallacies. We
cannot afford to trine with human life,
even though persons come as healers
under the garb of Christian sanctity.
The present laws should be rigidly en-
forced. and II necessary. new ones
enacted till the ignorant and helpless
and tho young are amply protected.

Patriotic Shirt Lacking.

The crown prince, Rudolph, of Aus
tria failed in patriotism, throwing
away his life in fit of mad selfish
ness. leaving his much-tried father
to deal alone with the countless wor-
ries of political or dynastic nature.
The present heir to the Austrian
throne. the Archduke Franz Ferdi-
nand, is scarcely so much to blame
for his marriage outside the imperial
circle, as for some time before this
event he was regarded as an invalid
who would hardly bar the chances of
his stronger brother, the Archduke
Otto. His morganatic alliance is not
to affect the succession, and may only
lead to some lively court chickering's
if Franz Ferdinand has eventually to
play the part of emperor for awhile
and his Princess Hohenburg claims
more honors than are her due.

Water in Rutter.

Prof G. l.. Mckay of Iowa. after
visit to Europe, had this to say about
water in butter:
No subject interests me more than
water. tested lot Of butter in Eng
land for moisture, and the driest but
ter / found was from New Zealand
some of it running down to about
eight per cent. Danish butter aver
ages about fifteen per cent Russia
was very irregular, some very fine, but
a good deal of it had a rank flavor
1t will get over that after awhile,
however, and I believe that Russia
will come to the front rapidly. Some
of the highest selling butter was the
French two pound unsalted rolls. My
experience with the Irish butter is
that it lacks body, which results large
ly from the fact that it is churned at
a high temperature. 1t contains lots
of water, some samples testing TWEEN
ty to twenty-five per cent moisture.
This question is now before the Eng
lish parliament, and it seems probable
that it will be settled on the basis OF
about fifteen to sixteen per cent water.
1t has been great problem to me
that the Danish butter has a higher
percentage of water than ours has, yet
at the same time it has a mealy, dry
appearance. Investigation showed
that their method of churning and
working was peculiar. The churning
is done at a moderately high tempera-
ture and the butter comes soft. 1t is
dropped at once into cold water and
then Pit on the table and worked
three-quarters of a minute, after which
it is again put in cold water for
moment, then brought back and worked
from one to one and quarter minutes.
This makes only two minutes of work
ing When finished it is packed into
kegs for the market. 1t is said that
this method is used to get the butter
milk out and have it clear, but it is
probably intended to work the water
into the butter as well. Danish butter
will average five per cent more water
than ours and yet does not show it,

which may or may not be q detri-
ment. Iron vessels of all kinds tend
to corrode and perhaps the rust Is not
the best thing that can be given
fowls. Drinking vessels Of stone are
ideal. They never shrink with the
dry weather and they never rust.
Moreover, they are easily cleaned.
Well-glazed drinking vessels are there
fore preferable to all others.
It is a poor economy that leads to
the purchase of musty and even moldy
feed for the fowls. When grain Is
spoiled too much for any other use
it is the practice to try to save 1t by
feeding it to the poultry. It Is
charged by fanciers that musty grain
is a fruitful source of sickness. We
cannot prove the point, but we are
ready to accept it on its face. 1t is
now well established that some Of the
smuts and moulds are poisonous in
their character. Especially is this the
case with oat smut. Other SHUTS
have been little examined with this
point in view. Until they are proved
to be innocuous let US feeG our fowls
only healthful grain.
