The Peoples Church.

In the right hands, there is a place In
every community for peoples church,
There are everywhere many people who
are religious and desire religious instruc-
ton, but who prefer not to be associated
with any more definite outward form Of
religion than what the name peoples
church implies. They do not wish to be
identified with any sect, but at the same
time they are deeply religious. Such a
church appeals also to people who have
never given much thought to matters re-
ligious and like to make their beginning
by dropping into q free for-all gathering
where q large element Of strangers is ex-
pecteu and welcomed. Such church,
also, has some inducements for members
OF a social class that would feel out of
place in regular churches. When the Rev
6. L. Morrill, started the local peoples
church some four months ago, the Dues
ton that was to be answered was whetf-
er his were the right hands for such a
work. His friends felt sure that they

were. Possibly four months Is too short
a time after which to declare that the
event has proved their confidence, but it Is
certain that the first four months Of the
church's history have been very success
full. There is no reason why, when Mr..
Morrill, resumes his labors in the fall, he
should not be generously supported and
Warmly encouraged.
Is there no way to stop the accumulation
Of a treasury surplus? Here is one national
problem that the democrats ought to be
able to solve. e.

A Natural Consequence.

The Zumbrota News, in discussing "Con-
gresham Tawney's Mistake makes the
point that the congressman got about
what he was looking for in the hard luck
he has had this year, with his appointees
to Annapolis and West Point. The News
brings out In bold relief what few. Of those
who have heard the congressman's COM
plant know-viz., the method Of appoint
ment Of the candidates who failed.
Because SO many Of his military and
naval academy appointees had failed to
complete their courses, the congressman
came to the conclusion that it would be
well to put more emphasis on the natural
gifts of his candidates than on their
abilities to pass examinations. So. this
year, instead Of giving his appointments
to boys who passed preliminary exanina-
lions, as is almost the universal practice
Of congressman, he named appointees
without examination, the only require
ment being that they should have letters
from the principals of their schools cred
iting them with tenacity and persever-
ance, 'less attention being paid to schol-
arship.' When the son of a prominent
citizen asks his principal for recon-
mendation Of that kind, which means the
opening of a desirable. career, he is no!
likely to be refused. From all the rec
omme ndations, Mr.. Tawney picked Out
the boys who seemed to be most likely
to complete their courses. t% ~
Pers everance is a good quality, but il
does not insure scholarship or ability tc
pass examinations. No kind Of a sclloo
can make successful students of all Its
pupils. No wonder that II the congress-
man chose boys who were not especially
strong in scholarship, they failed to pass
scholarship examinations. They were not
examined as to perseverance or as to any
other virtue, but merely as to scholarship
and, not being the best students, they
naturally failed in examinations which
are celebrated for their severity.
If all these facts had been made known
to, the public simultaneously with Con
gresham TawEey's criticism, that com
position would not have stirred UP zsucl

MIND AND BODY. BY Jean Morrisey Mime

Price ST.. 49, 49, - ~ -.
The author of this book declares medi-
cal science to be failure and no science
because it has not annihilated disease,
and the human race still suffers and dies.
He would have the medical science abol-
ished.. He regards the daily newspaper as
''the biggest disease germ to be dealt with,
promoting diseases, suicides and all sorts
of morbid crimes and spreading the gloom
Of sickness and SORROW" This Is pretty
severe on the doctors and the daily news
papers. The author would stop the al
legged malign influence Of the newspapers
and of the medical science by persuading
each sufferer to least physic to the dogs
and sit down in a peaceful frame Of mind
and contemplate the center of his ston-
ach in the region Of the navel, and relief
will follow. How this will remove the
daily newspapers agency as ''the biggest
disease germ to be dealt WITH does
not appear.
