1t Is In these (above) conditions that
we have found the causes of the pres
ent era of religious Indifference which
has landed the church in it's present
slough OF despond. But we are all
wrong. The decadence Of the church
Is not so much due to these conditions
as these conditions are due to the de-
cadence OF the church. We have turn
ed things right around and have been
working at the wrong end. AS the
church has declined sin and evil have
increased, and the real problem which
we face today Is not this. that or the
other specific evil, but the church it
self: for every problem, individual.
social economic, municipal or nation
al, is primarily n religious question.
This Is the position Of Count TolstOy
when he says: 1.-The evil from which
men of our time are suffering is pro-
duced by the fact that the majority live
without that which alone affords n RAJ
tional guidance for human activity
without religion"
Here. then. are we face to face with
the real. vital problem of the age. The
church Is In decadence; it has lost It's
place of influence: its pews are de-
serted, It's treasury depleted. and in
stead of shaping life 1t Is begging the
privilege to live; instead OF supplying
the needs Of man 1t cries out for men
to come to it's rescue. The current OF
life Is sweeping away from the church
and not toward 1t, and we must con-
slider the causes.
This critic accuses the church OF
having fallen from its high estate as
the place of worship:
A great cause, IL not the great cause
of the decline, Is found In the fact that
the church has ceased to be church
where the people may come for the
worship of God, and thru that worship
receive the divine influence into their
souls. The church has become So
cial center lectureship. school,
college, literary society, a place OF
amusement, a bazaar. a library, an In
stitution of philanthropy, nursery,
kindergarten, a soup kitchen, an en-
ployment bureau, or a political caucus.
That is, the church has abandoned It's
own peculiar field to which It was ded-
icated, that of divine worship, and en-
tered other fields for which 1t Is wholly
united and where 1t comes into
competition which Is it's undoing.

TWO NEEDED REFORMS.

Railroad officials have been wont to
deprecate the assertion that prevent
able accidents on railways are shame
fully common in the United States. and
that compulsion should be put upon
the railway comanies by law to pro-
vide all practicable safeguards. The
shocking frequency and unusual fatal
ty Of railway accidents In this country
during the past year have made deep
impression upon the public mind.
Railway officials themselves are exhib-
lting solicitude at the record.
Now information comes from Wash
ington that members of the interstate
commerce commission have been in
formed that the influence OF powerful
railroads will be exerted at the coming
session of congress to bring about the
enactment OF law compelling the
equipment Of all passenger-carrying
railroads with the block system.
The bill which the railroad interests
have determined to ask congress to
pass was drawn by the interstate COM
merce commission. It was Drafted on
the theory that the expense necessary
for the construction of new signals or
for electrical wires or apparatus
necessary for the use of the block sys-
tenn should be distributed over term
OF years. 1t Is proposed that each rail-
road shall be required to adopt the
block system on one-fourth of it's pas
senger lines by Jan. 1, 1906; on an
other fourth by Jan. J., 1907; on another
fourth one year later, and on the whole
by Jan. 1, 1909. Under this plan many
of the principal lines would be required
to make no important additions to
their expense account for the first two
years, and some would feel no burden
Tor the first three years.
II it is true that the railroads are
ready to cooperate with the commits
sion on this point it is reassuring
news and offers a practical certainty
that the bill will become law. With
this question fairly settled and out OF
the way the commission may turn Its
undivided attention to freight rates.

difficulty In making laws to
cover such business proceedings
vet the need OF some legal action to

there is no fraud. Perhaps the direc-
tors of the company intend to buy am
other pump, Who knows- Meanwhile
the officers Of the company draw their
salaries. 1t can be said that at this
moment here in Iowa are several COM
panies doing business under numerous
names, sometimes the promoters of one
company having sold all their capital
stock. proceed to Immediately form
another with slightly different name,
whose real business is to sell stock to
innocent purchasers, and to draw the
salaries voted themselves by the in
corporators Of such companies. When
they can no longer sell stock sufficient
to pay their salaries. then they even
cease to grind one grist a day, and
the grist mill company ceases to be.
But there is no law to present the pro-
moters Of the former grist mill COM
pany, Incorporating under the laws OF
New Jersey the grist milling company
and selling in Iowa milling stocks, In
stead of mill stocks. Let's see,
