IOWA AND WISCONSIN.

The past week has Developed a strils-
ing difference between Iowa and Wis
consin republicans. From it may be
drawn some lessons in politics. In Wis
consin governor very much like our
Governor ,Cummins. has for several
years beer waging the same kind of a
fight against the combined powers of
the railroads, all special interests and
the Washington delegation. There La
Toilette has stood for the people as
against the special interests. Twice he
nor by the republicans and has sue
ceeded in raising the taxes on corpora
tons. This year he WIS compelled to
make fight for a third term and won
but so bitter were the contests in rnany
a county that contesiing delegations
came up to the convention from sew
eral and rump convention was held
by the Anti La Toilette men.
In Iowa. the same kind of a fight with
the same line up has been in progress
for four years. Culnmins has been
twice nominated and elected governor
and railroad assessments have been
raised. This year Cunmins was not a
candidate for governor but his forces
tariff and reciprocity platform that had
been adopted the year before as COM
promise satisfactory to both sides The
railroads and special interests thru
their leader, j. w. Blythe, and possess
ing control over most of the daily
newspapers Of the suite, We're able to
misrepresent the governor until many
a county delegation was captured by
his enemies. Then having thrown him
off his guard in his own county by an
agreement to give him the delegation
without Il fight they repudiated the
compact as soon as they We're in control
and stole Polk county which carried
with it the Seventh district and the
key to the situation.
In Iowa as in Wisconsin the fight was
to down the man who, had dared stand
for the.rights of the people. but in Wis
consin the peoples candidate won and
the minions of the special interests
bolted. In Iowa the special interests
won. amid cheers for Blythe the
railroad boss who represents Jim Hill
and the Northern Securities Company
in Iowa politics, but the friends of
Cumrnins did not bolt Instead the
governor went before the convention
knowing that platform was then be-
ing Aalned for no other purpose, in the
world than to humiliate him, and de-
clared that whatever it should contain
he would stand squarely on the center
of it ard continue to draw cards in the
game of politics until he should again
be favored with ro.fal flush. Iowa re-
puhlicans went away united because
the candidate of the people thought
more of the party than he did of. his
personal fortunes.

THE BOY AND HIS DOG.
[Cedar Rapids Republican,


What is boy without dog-or a
girl without doll? But especially a
boy without dog? A dog supplies the
want that no other living creature can
supply. a companionship that boy
can find in no way else in all the wide
world. 1t doesn't make any difference
what kind of dog it is so that 1T is
a dog. a dog with four legs two ears
and a dog that can eat and dog that
can bark or beg or bite. His color may
be black or it may be yellow, which Is
the worst color that a dog. supposedly,
can have. To the boy who has no other
dog, whatever color he is, he is dear,
and the best in the world.
Every boy is better from the compan-
onship of a dog. A dog can learn
much from his master, but his master
can Learn almost as much from the dog.
TIE love and care of living things. pa
thence, septieness, strength, all these
things a dog gradually impresses upon
the boy. who associates with him IRON
day to day. The dogiess boy is apt to
GROW mp with some things lacking in
his manhood. some Indefinite quality
an extra human cuality--is sure to be
found wanting In lin. No teache" no
10 k nothing under the sun can impast
that to the hoy G. ttp' dog.

The Rural Religious Decadence.


Religious decadence in large cities
is so widely discussed that one nat
urally turns to the rural districts 20
see ii in them there is not a strength
of religious life that the cities seem
to lack. The Rev. d. w. Hulburt VINO
has for thirteen years been a pastor
and eight years a missionary in the
rural districts of Wisconsin, writing in
the Baptist Standard, does not think,
however, that there is any such
strength of Christianity outside the
cities, particularly in those parts of
the country where his work lies.
The census of 1900 reports for Wis
consin a population of 2,069,042, of
which 1,097,70S persons live outside
of cities and villages. The same year
the Baptist denomination reports 210
churches and membership of 1858.
or these 210 churches, eighty-four
are located either in the country, or in
villages reporting 500 population or less
These eighty-four churches report
membership of $3.50. That is, So per
cept of the population of Wisconsin
is outside of cities and villages, and
90 per cent only Of the Baptist mem
bership is in country churches, plus
churches located in villages, reporting
500 population or less. Since 1886.
when Baptist organic life began in
Wisconsin more churches have ceased
to exist than now exist. OF the eighty
four churches in the country and in
villages of less than 500 population.
twenty eight report less members than
twenty years ago, thirty report less
members than ten years ago, twenty
five report less members than five
years ago. The experience of our de-
nomination in this particular is not
exceptional. A prominent pastor of a
sister denomination told me three
years ago that all these things We're
! true of the denomination he repre-
sents.
| Mr. Hulburt finds the first reason for
| this state of affairs in what he calls
| "trans,nigra ton
The children have gone to the cities
and the farms have been sold to for
eigners - Romanists Lutherans, and
nom professors of religion. With the
going of the American population,
evangelistic Christianity went. My
second answer is in the tendency of
these people to cling to the mother
tongue. My third answer to the ques-
ton is non aggressiveness in religion
of many country people. l am not
saving that country people are not ag-
gressive, but many of them aggressive
in other things are not aggressive IN
! religion. Country churches, many of
them, are slow, very slow in adopting
new, aggressive methods in Christian

The religious statistics of Great Brit
ain are compiled annually from the
YER books of the various denomina-
lions. and, as they are given out by
the church authorities themselves, they
may be regarded as authoritative. The
last report for 1908 shows that the
Nonconformists have half the church

the Sunday school scholars, the last
year bringing them an increase of u.s.
600 communicates and $4,000 scholars.

IoWA.s PEARL BUTTON BUSINESS
TMuscatine Journal

NIuscatine waste clam shells will be
ground up, the back scraped clean,
pounded to a paste and then pressed
and finally rolled into a marble slab
of uniform thickness and then buttons
will be punched from the plank and
sold. il the idea expressed by New
York man, recently in the city, ever
materializes
This man. who is interested in one
of the prominent button factories OF
this city, and acts as the eastern agent
of this firm, during recent Visit TO
this city was quoted as saying that
this was more than possibility ana
limited strongly that an investigation
would be made. Realizing that but
about 20 per cent of the raw material
from which the button blanks are oh
tanned if used, and the other part goes
IN waste he proposes to use the waste
shells of the button factory and after
grinding them UP fine and crushing
them. to vulcanize the product and
run it thru big press. The result
of this would be slab of vulcanized
clam shells, from which buttons could,

GUILTY AS CHARGED
Is the Verdict of Public Against
Robbers Of Jesse Horton.

Guilty as charged is the verdict of
the public in the outrageous conspl-
racy and robbery of Jesse Horton the
One-armed hard working young man
It 4. a verdict from which there Is no
appeal. 1t can not be set aside by
legal technicalities. The public know
the facts and look with adherence and
contempt on parties who claim to be
men and yet stoop to rob cripples.
The punishment inflicted is not i'm
prisonment or fines, but is neverthe.
less a. effective and more terrible. 1t
cannot be expressed in words, but is
felt at all times by the criminals con-
demned at the bar of public opinion.
From the crushing pressure of the
public verdict escape is impossible.
There comes time when the meanest
schemers and most monsterous otfen-
ders wake to feel its full weight. That
the robbers of Jesse Horton are COM
meucing to realize the effect OF public
opinion aroused in a righteous cause
is shown in their attempt to stem the
tide 6y promising Mr.. Horton to re-
turn the money they stole. When
they make such restitution the public
wrath may be appeased, but while the
present generation lives the public
will inAict silent punishment. At all
times and on all occasion it will be
felt. The stain of the cowardly crime
cannot be eradicated, though the
force Of punishment may be lessened
by a return of stolen property.
