went to pieces. Evans, Willard, Smith

Paper By Rev. F A. Cone.

Rev. F. A. Cone, of North(ield form
erly of Austin, read a paper on "The
Evolution of Society," before the last
meeting of the St. Paul Methodist min
listers. He described the process of ev-
olution in nature and proceeded to
show how the same principle applied to
society and our economic conditions
Our social conditions were in state of
constant change and under proper in
fluences would progress to still higher
state. Man had improved the condi-
tions around him, such as the veget.
able and animal, and also his social
condition, and under the influence of
the Gospel would yet reach that state
described as the millennium.
He pointed to the coal strike as an
example, where state of war existed
between capital and labor, and how
public sentiment compelled cessation
Of the fight and the appointing of a
commission. Also how the same pub
lie sentiment was compelling capital
lists to pay better wages and to treat
thei1 employees more as brothers. Here
was great field for the church.
He discussed the temperance ques-
tion. While we had failed to make
men sober by law, he said the demand
of business firms and railroad compan-
les for total abstainers had done much
to help the cause. We should recog-
nize that the environment of men had
much to do with their hearts, and the
saloon could better be destroyed by
competition than by prohibition. The
Sunday law could be observed better if
the masses had half day holiday on
Saturdays and stores were closed at
o'clock.

The Providence, R. l. Journal says
that the word "blizzard" is not suitable
to describe the terrible freezing weather
the New Englanders had last week when
the mercury was down to Is and 25 be-
low zero in damp atmosphere and
when folks were found in their homes
frozen dead. We agree that some other
word is needed. A Minnesota blizzard
is a zephyr in comparison with the gen
uine New England storms of winter
with their piercing and fatal blasts.
We know whereof we speak.

New York World: The best way to
cure civilized men of consumption is
to get them out of their air-tight
houses. Most business men and MANY
laborers in the metropolis spend eight
hours day. six days a week cooped in
offices or factories in over-breathed
germ-laden air. The journey home is
made in closely packed cars. The
evenings are spent in ill-ventilated
apartments, in sitting theatres, in
overheated restaurants. Thus men be-
come anaemic. Many are actually
killed by the want of fresh air. The
great prerequisites to the cure of con-
sumption cannot be too often stated.
They are life in pure open air, good
nutrition, long continued rest.

life is to serve out his next term, giving

the merger problem solved satisfactorily,
to see another law raising the gross
earnings tax to per cent go before the
people, to have constitutional amend
ments submitted which will permit the
legislature to so amend our tax laws as
to cure recognized defects, and to meet
any emergency that may arise in the
meantime with such wisdom and
courage as will reflect credit upon the
state. With his $4,000 majority the
governor feels that he has been abund-
antly honored and rewarded by the
state and that he has achieved enough
honors to satisfy a reasonable ambition.
