THE PRICE OF A CHURCH MEMBER.

supposedly stronger organization the
question naturally asserts itself. will
the great church be more efficient than
are now the individual organizations

Investigations by New York church
publication, the Church Economist.
seem to have a bearing on this ques
ton.
The Economist finds from the statis-
tics of the leading churches in five
large cities OF the United States
an advantage for the small church over
the larger one. 1t takes as the test of
efficiency the number OF aecessions to
membership in each and discovers that
the small churches grow faster and
cxpend less money The conclusion is
drawn that consolidation OF church or
ganizations would not show gain in
church membership, but possibly a
failing off. OF course the adding of
new members is not the whole duty Of
the church, but an excellent Indication
OF interest and efficiency. Thus the
added conclusion Is forced that church
consolidation will weaken and not null
tiply the potency Of the churches.
The Economists figures are inter-
lsting:
'It is found that twenty-nine Epls-
Dopal churches, with an average mem
hership Of S76. spend annually $11.69

THE IOWA VOTE THIS YEAR.
ESioux City Journal

II is pleasure to certain opponents
of the republican party in this state to
note that Governor Cummins has made
cipate that his majority this year will
equal the majority he received two
years ago, or that ii will equal the ma
jority given to his party last year.
In 1901 the republicans cast 226,902
votes and the democrats 143,7S3 votes,
giving Cummins a plurality of S3,l19
over Phillips.
In 1902 the republicans cast 229,227
votes and the democrats 149,955 votes.
giving Martin. for secretary of state, a
plurality of 1922 over Burke.
In 1901 the total vote of the two part
les was 370.6S5. and In 1902 the total
vote of the two parties was 379.1S2
The vote in 1900 In the presidential
election exceeded the vote in the guber-
Material election the following year by
146279 The plurality for Mckinley
over Bryan was 9S,606. the republicans
casting 307,7S5 votes and the democrats
zoe 179 votes.
The total vote In the state this year
is not likely to be as large as it was
therefore, that the majority for Gov
ernor Cummins will shrink accordingly.
If the republicans would go to the
polls this year in the same numbers
they went to the polls in 1900 the pre-
diction of 100000 plurality for Governor
Cummins would not be unreasonable.
If the disposition to vote should be
general among republicans like dispo-
sition would extend to the democrats.
and therefore, the thing to anticipate
would be a result not materially differ
ent from that of 1900.
When Governor Cummins testifies
that he does not look for as large a ma
jerity this year as he received in 1901
he simply afffrms that he does not be-
lieve the people of the state are as much
concerned over the election this year
as they We're two years ago.
No doubt the democrats are better
satisfied with their candidate this year
than they were with the candidate that
tumbled to them in 1901. That will
make some difference. But a compari-
son OF the vote of 1901 and the vote of
we'll to the ticket that is set UP for
them.
The reelection of Governor Cum
Minis is a foregone conclusion. Repub-
lican politicians would like to see the
majority maintained, and the democra-
tic politicians would like to see the ma
jority reduced, but "the common peo-
Pile" on either side are not easily made
contributory to argumentative figures.
The people of our state are reason
ably well satisfied with things as they
are, so far as they trace relationship
to politics. There is nothing the mat
ter so far as they know with the state
government. They are wholly recon-
ciled to continuance of the present
administration As a consequence the
vote will be light. and the governors
majority will be less than 1t was when
he made his first trip.
The governor then, has reason to be
frank in his statement, and there is
nothing in 1T OF encouragement to his
democratic opponents.

companies psid back AZ cents to cover

In the opinion of the Davenport Re-

want to leave this country and could
