Written expressly for the Republican,

To the Editor and readers OF
the Republican:
During my recent vacation as
II stood near the celebrated,
"Minnehaha Falls" sometimes
referred to as laughing
Waters" and drank in some of
Natures Studies, for time |
forgot all about the busy cares of
] the city with its hustle and hustle
and as | had a little time for
thought and reflection my mind
turned for a few brief minutes
to how we are wont to strive
after money and in the excite
ment of business forget our duties
to one another and how we might
lessen the burdens by a little
effort on our part in a friendly
call imparting to others informa-
ton that they through force of
circumstances are not permitted
to see and enjoy the beauties to
be found in nature.
Have you not often stood by
side of some departed friend or
relative and seen flowers piled
high over all that is left when
the spirit had taken its flight,
and did it not occur to you that
had these friends displayed
title more of their kind feelings
while that departed soul was
with them how much better it
would have been.
The beautiful flowers, the
handiwork of God, are expressive
of the most tender of ones
emotions, but would it not be
better were we to display more
of these tokens of sympathy and
loving kindness while we have
our friends and relatives with us.
AS l write these few thoughts
/ have in mind one whose life is
confined to within the four walls
of a modest yet neat cottage in
quiet neighborhood in my own
city. In my daily trips | am
brought in contact with a lady
whose severe illness prevents her
from INDUCING in sigh t-seeing
and pleasures that those whose
good fortune it is to possess all
those God given faculties and
above all "health" could they
but see the smiling countenance
of this party whose untold suffer
ings are kept within her own
breast, they could better know
how to appreciate and enjoy life,
and would cease to grumble at
their condition which even though
the possessor of unit old riches
one is unable to purchase when
devoid of good health"
Miss Miranda Maupin, (the
lady to whom l refer) is well
known to the readers of the Gre
publican" is now, and has been
for many years an invalid, con-
fined to her home yet possessed
of keen sense of enjoyment of
everything that is beautiful, yet
unable to travel and enjoy the
beauties of nature.
Possessing a fine education,
and close observer, she is an
interesting conversationalist,
forgetting her own troubles
she shares the sorrows and trou-
bles of others with words of en-
enlargement and good cheer.
Her life is one which many of us
might we'll emulate.
Perhaps those of you who

| TIC by charging more lOI tHell
products than is required for q
reasonable profit. The republic
can party instead of condoning
this practice is the only party
that has a record of attempting
by national legislation to con.
troll the trusts. If it is true as
he stated that these trusts ant
corporations are liberal contribu'
tors to the republican campaign
fund it does not follow that it is
because the republican party en-
dorses their illegal populations
Trusts and corporations are com.
posed of men of good business
judgement. They know their
business prosperouses only wher
the people are prosperous and
they exercise good business sense
when they help to maintain the
party whose administration OF
affairs best serves the interest OF
the whole people.
Every intelligent farmer,
laborer and business man is actu-
ated by the same motive when he
goes to the polls and votes the
republican ticket.
The pernicious doctrine that
every thing in nature tends
to the worst or that the world is
wholly evil, may be believed by
some but it is unnatural for a
brilliant mind and genial desposi-
tion to believe in such doctrine,
as rule. That there are evils
of all classes in the world no one
disputes, but the person who feeds
upon that phaze of the condi-
tions continually, soon becomes a
pessinist pure and simple. Whe-
Their he calls himself populist,
socialist, democrat or republican
makes no difference. The Judge
admitted that when he was a re-
publican some fifteen years ago,
that he and the writer were op-
posed to corporation influence in
politics. We did not believe
different from the rank and file
of the republican party then, nor
does the republican party think
or practice different to day. Re-
publican officials some times may,
as populist officials have, cater to
the dictations of corporations,
but even should they, the princi-
pies of the republican party are
not changed. The republican
party has always stood for the
interests of the whole people and
especially for the producing and
laboring class in legislation and
in administering the laws of the
land.
The history of the country bears
out the fact that when the re-
publican party has had the adj
ministration of the affairs of the
nation that the country has been
prosperous. This cannot be said
truthfully of any other party.
The republican party believes
that trusts should be controlled.
But the right of capital to or
ganize cannot be questioned nc
more than the rights of labor
Do not lawyers, doctors, merch'
ants, churches and parties have
their organizations for the same
purpose as capital2 Self-protec'
ton and the betterment of the
whole people is the Legitimate
object of all. Yet when any Of
these organizations impose upor
the public they should be dealt
with by the government as the
nature of their offence demands
The republican party is ready al
all times to do this. The repub
lican party has always been the
party for the people. 1t is the
party of progress and prosperity
and it has not drop of pessimist
blood in its makeup, nor has il
room for any that are so unfor
tunate to be thus constructed.

Meeting of Evangelistic Alliance
Committee to Be Called by
Doctor McKiItrick.
CHAPMAN MAY BE LEADER.
Presbyterian and Congregational
Churches May Unite in Great
Gospel Meeting During Louis
lana Purchase Exposition.

With the return of the various pastors
of the city churches has come new dis
cussion of evangelistic work in st. Louis
during the Worlds Fair. The effort of
the Evangelical Alliance to arrange a Sc
ries of services with the Reverend Camp
bell Morgan as leader having failed. an
other plan will be tried. for all agree that
the opportunity which will be here af-
forded next year for gospel services
should not be neglected.
The Reverend Doctor w. ]. McKittrick,
chairman of the committee of the Evan
gelistic Alliance. upon his return to the
city this week will call the member of
the committee together. ana as its repre-
scntatives are from all denominations. the
effort each denomination is making for
Worlds Fair meetings can be discussed.
1t is the sentiment among ministers hal
there will be no further attempt at union
services, and tina the best method will
be unusual efforts by each denomination.
Presbyterian pastors are especially in
terested in this line of work. At the min
listers meeting yesterday morning. the
Reverend Doctor S. c.. Palmer told of his
visit to the winona Lake Bible Conference
and of the interest displayed there in
whatever efforts might be made here dur
ing the Fair.
The Evangelisuc Committee of the con-
ference put itself on RECORD as being in
accord With any responsible movement
that might be made, and volunteered to
do all In it's power to furnish aid.
Doctor Palmer talked with. the leaders
of Presbyterianism ana they were mani
nous in the belief that the churches of
their denomination at least should make a
concentrated effort. 1t was suggested that
j. Wilbur Chapman would be the proper
person to lead such a movement, and
W. man ao l. rN-aF iSnd
their aid.
1t is believed that all branches of the
Presbyterian Church represented in this
city, and possibly the Congregational de-
nomination will unite in the movement.

BREACH IN SOCIALIST
PARTY IN GERMANY.
S~orWaerts" Refuses to Publish Herr
BebeE's Articles and AutOcrat
Is Angered.

Berlin. Sept. Herr BebeIs articles on
he vice presidentcy of the Reichstag,
which he is opposed to the Socialist party
'ceepting. have been declined by the edi-
or of the Vorwaerts and therefore the
ate autocrat of the party has been OBJ
ICED to have them printed in less i'm
,ortant socialist papers.
The significance of This is that the vor-
saerts is the party's central organ and is
'wned collectively and controlled by a
committee designated by the party cr-
ianization.
1t is taken TO mean that leaders like
Herr Bernstein, who differ with Herr
Sebel on the party policy, and favor ac-
,epting a vice presidency, have obtained
he upper hand. Herr Bebel says, in a
fgned article, that. he will reduire a
len when questions of policy and leader
hip must DE settled.
