WHY MEN DoN,T.Go TO CHURCH.

Last Sunday quite number or min
listers in New York city discussed the
question. Why don't men sosto church?
Naturally. much of what they said yeas
reported in the morning papers on Mon
day Most ministers who spoke on the
subject ascribelf the absence of men
from church to Tack OF religious senti-
fnent and to disbelief in the orthodox
plan of salvation" Others gave other
reasons. For instance. Rev. DR.. Minct
J. Savage, of the Church OF the Mes
siah, said. among other things, that
men stayed away from church because
they wanted to go into the country and
take their religion from nature, or they
didn't think the minister preached ser
mons that were interesting, or they
didn't like the music, or the weather
was stormy or too hot. Men who didn't
want to go TO church, said DR.. Savage,
had no difficulty in finding reasons for
staying away. There was no such SEN
timent about going to church now as
there used TO be in New England when
the Puritan dominated there. Then,
when a man didn't appear at church,
the constable WAS sent after him. and
he had 10 go whether he wanted to or
not If he didn't. want to be saved the
congregation saw 10 il that he had the
opportunity 10 be. The church goers
did their duty. and consequently had
a clear conscience.
Rev. DIR. Lorimer. of the Madison
Square Baptist Church, made state
ment that left no room for discussing
the matter further. He said: Il con-
fidently assert that the number of men
attending church to-day.is proportion
ately larger than at any other time in
the history of Christianity, and l am
convinced that the intelligence of the
men attending church will compare
most favorably with that of the men
who 40 not
DR.. Lorimer has taken the trouble
no doubt to find out whether or not, in
times past, the percentage of men who
attended church was greater than at
the present time. and found it wasn't.
If the other ministers had taken the
same trouble they wouldn't have dis
cussed the question, in all proba bthty,
or, If they did. they would have dis
cussed it differently. BY getting facts
many useless discussions would be
avoided

SOME CAMPAIGN AMMUNITION.

Is Secretary Cortelyou PUBLISHING
statistics of our trade with Cuba tG
show what a good thing the Cuban rec
tarocity treaty is for this Countrywide
treaty for the ratification of which the
President called Congress in extra ses-
sion? According TO these statistics our
! imports from GEOGRAPHICALLY sugar
have increased about So per cent, while
our exports to that country have in
! creased only about Is per cent. With
| that kind of increase in our trade II
would take US a long time to get rich.
| The treaty is a good thing for Cube
and for the sugar trust, but how about
its effect upon our sugar industry, both
/ beet and cane2 And how much reye-
nue. is it keeping out Of our treasury?
These are questions which will be asked
when the presidential campaign begins
and the speltbinders commence en-
tightening the people. The defenders
of the President will be kept busy ex-
planning why he was SO anxious TO DO
the sugar trust such good turn.
Some OF the Republican papers, par.
ticularly Roosevelt papers, have found
much satisfaction recently in saying
that sugar trust influences were behind
the candidacy Of Judge Parker, be-
cause Mr.. Cord Myer. who has some re-
mote interest in that trust, has been
chosen chairman OF the Democratic EX-
ecutive Committee Of New York, but
would it not seem as if Mr.. Roosevelt
has a much deeper interest in tina!
trust than it is possible for Judge Par
ker TO have?
The theory on which the reciprocity
treaty was based was that Cuba would
do her trading in this country If we
made some concessions to her sugar,
but it looks as if she were taking our
gold for her sugar and spending it Tor
her supplies in England, Spain ana
other European countries. Now that
Mr.. Cortelxou has given us some ng-
ures relative to Cuba S commerce with
this country, will he not be obliging
enough to let US know to what extent
Cuba's imports from other countries
have increased since our trade treaty
with her has enabled her TO get bet
ter price for her sugar? We ought TO
have all the facts, so as to be able TO
point out TO the people just what the
result OF the Cuban reciprocity treaty
on which Mr.. Roosevelt insisted so
strenuously. has been. When all the
facts are known We feel certain thu

the sugar beet or the sugar cane grow
ing sections of the country. Indeed,
when the loss of revenue is taken into
account it is doubtful if it will con-
tribute 10 his popularity anywhere, ex-
cept in Cuba and in sugar trust cir
cles.

THE CONSTITUTION NOT F.
FOREIGNERS.
THE


The decision OF the Supreme Court
in the case of the English lecturer,
John Turner, settles the question as to
the right of Congress to say what
classes of immigrants may come to
this country and what classes may not.
In the re-enacted immigration law it
is stated that anarchists shall not be
admitted. John Turner is an anar-
| chist He doesn't advocate the use of
violent methods to overturn govern
ments, but he nevertheless urges, in
his addresses, that they be overturned,
and a new order of things established
in accordance with the views held by
anarchists.
He succeeded in getting into this
country and had delivered a number
of lectures before attention was direct
ed to him. He was arrested by the I'm
migration Board at New York for the
purpose of sending him back to Eng
land. The anarchists, of course, made
great outcry over his arrest, claim
ing that II was an outrage. Counsel
was engaged for him and a writ of
habeas corpus taken out. 1t was
claimed for him that he was a peace
able anarchist, and that the law which
shut him out OF the country was I'M
constitutional, because it denied him
the right OF trial by jury and was an
infringement of the right of free speech.
The court. in its opinion, held that
the law made no distinction between
anarchists who advocated anarchy by
peaceful methods and those who add
vocated it by violence, 1t held also
that Turner was not in a position to
say that he was denied trial by jury
and the right Of free speech, because
the constitution and the laws were not
made for foreigners, but for citizens of
the country. HE is not one of the peo-
pie" said the court. ITO whom these
things are secured. and cannot become
such by an attempt forbidden by law"
1t was the purpose of Congress,
when 1t enacted the law in question, to
keep out of the country anarchists of
the kind to which Turner belongs, aud
also all other kinds. They can do the
American people no good. On the
CONTRARY, if allowed the opportunity,
they would do them great deal of
harm. Turner is now in England,
and in the light of the decision in his
case, there is no probability that he
will return to the United States.

Early Justice in California.

Pike county Missourian is credited
with having first used the expression:
III this court knows herself, and she
think she do
Long before the discovery of gold in
California a Pike county boy named
Blackburn. so it is said, relates the
Kansas City Journal. ran away from
home and went to the Rocky Noun
tains. where he grew to manhood as
Indian fighter, hunter, trapper ana
mountain guide. He became six feet
four inches tall, preportionately ahfn,
and marvelously awkward. He had
many encounters with grizzlies and
Indians. He was SCARED from head TO
foot, one eye had been partly gouged
out, his hair was thin and coarse, and
stood straight up on top of his head
and hung in every direction from the
sides. Blackburn, as might be sup
posed, was not an educated man, hut
he was not lacking in keen wit Sand
sound sense. A
When gold was discovered Blackburn
went to the mines, and the miners, as
a sort of joke, elected him aleaIde
an office similar TO that of justice Of
the peace. The first case brought be-
fore the alcalde was that of a gambler
VINO, while drunk and on horseback
had run over young Mexican woman,
knocking her down and seriously in
juring her The trial took place in the
largest cabin in the -neighborhood,
which was packed with roughly dress
ed, much beWhiskered men. The
gambler, who was rich, hired able
counsel to defend him. Alcalde Black
burn called the young woman, who
told her story in broken English, but
frankly and honestly. When she fin
ished, the alcalde peremptorily ended
the trial. The attorney for the defend
ant protested Vehemently, but the al
calde ran his hand through his hair
until 1T stood up straighter on top than
ever and remarked:
If this court knows herself, and she
think she do, 1 fine. you $500 damages
and assess upon you the costs of put
tin this we're gal in good condition -
When asked what he meant by good
condition, he replied that the gam
bin chap" must pay the doctors bill
and all other costs of the .wefnans ILL
ness. A more learned judge might
have made a more formal ruling, but
scarcely a juster one.

The Delights of the Unexpected.

Even the dangers of literature are
lessened for the very young by their
free powers of Encouragement and APP
plication. says a writer in Harper's
Weekly. A little girl of who had
been taken to church reproduced the
whole scene with much ingenuity, taxi
ing fora text, as she stood in a high
chair, Lead me in the paths of right
eousness in the presence of mine enc
miles," and then, descending and dom
ming her fathers old college cap, she
sang with Vim and endless reiteFa-
tons. Let your light SO shine, little
brother; let your light so shine, that
God will not put you in a bushel.'
Religious instruction as sifted
through the childish intelligence often
results oddly, and one little girl of
strong theological predilect ions was
heard ,instructing younger child thus:
| Now, l will tell you exactly how
am made. First, there is little round
me that is busy and does things; over
that i wear a skeleton of bones and
then all the sinful lusts of the flesh .
Upon all the superficiality of sin she
might have been interpreted as having
definite convictions, but when it came
to the nature of Deity, patriotism OBJ

tiQn being told of a friends death
a, nttIe1 girl ~sof 6 stood wondering,
rotind-eyed and rosy, at the foot of

questions:

when she gets there will God put
an angel head upon her?
will she wear a shirtwaist and
skirt?
'.'I don't want to die because of the
valley of the shadow of death; that
must be very dark"
Then, without pause, came as a
conclusion a quick laying aside of the
whole sad matter, as she sang out
cheerily: 81 am going to hop to my
bath on one foot" and she did, chant
ing as she went, ''D-e-a-d-dead. dead,

SEEKING A CHAIRMAN.

The President seems to be having
difficulty in finding an acceptable man
to manage his campaign. A number
Of Republicans of prominence have
been mentioned for the craftsmanship
of the Republican National Commit
tee, but TO about all of them objections
Of a weighty character have been Of
fered or else they don't want the po-
sition.
1t is now thought that Mr. CorteIyou,
the Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor, will be chosen for the position.
No doubt he would be satisfactory to
the President. He has the necessary
ability and knows about all of the
prominent Republicans of the country.
He was the private secretary of the
President, and if he should be selected
/ he wouldn't be much more probably
than a private secretary. One of the
| reasons doubtless why some of those
who have been asked to accept the
Craftsmanship have declined is the be-
lief that it is the purpose OF the Pres
dent to practically manage his own
campaign, 1t wouldn't be very agree
able to a chairman of great independ-
ence of character to be constantly in
terferred with by the President and
yet it is about certain that the chair
man, whoever he may be, will have to
play second fiddle.
Mr.. Cortelyou understands the Presi-
dent thoroughly, and, besides, he owes
his present position to him. He might
be willing to manage the campaign I'M
der the Presidents direction. If the
Republicans should be defeated 1t is
hardly probable they would blame Mr..
Cortelyou. They would blame the
President himself, because they wonld
be morally certain that all important
steps were taken at the Presidents di-
rection.
OF course Mr.. Cortelyeu would have
to resign his comfortable position, but
it is probable that the party leaders
would see to it that he lost moth
ing from a pecuniary point of view by
doing so and the President if elected,
would give him as good a po-
SltlOD dS ne HOW LtdS. H QOGSt IOOky
however, as If the President were
pretty hard up for campaign man
ager when he has to 60 to his cabinet
for him.
If Mr. Cortelyou should be the chair
man not much could be expected of
him as a collector of campaign funds.
He isn't one of the captains of indus
try, as the late Mr.. Hanna was, and
the corporations and trust magnates
wouldn't pay much attention to his APP
peals for money. Doubtless a capable
finance committee would have charge
of the work of collecting campaign
funds.

1t is hard to tell just what is what
in politics sometimes, even after the
ballots have been cast In the Flor
ida primaries twas thought certain
that Senator Taliaferro had won for
reelection. and that Congressman sDa-
Wis had been nominated for Governor.
The official count of the ballots, how
ever, shows that there will have to be
a second primary for both of these Of
fees. 1t is quite sure, however that
Messrs, TaHaferro and Davis have
nothing to fear in the second primary
and that they will be the nominees.
That being the case. why would it not
be a good idea to save the people, here
after, the expense of a second pri-
mary by providing for plurality to
elect on the first ballot? The candi-
dates who have pluraltjes on the first
ballot are nearly always winners on
the concluding ballot.

We commented the other day on the
plea of Pennsylvania preacher who
had been sued for breach of promise
of marriage, that the engagement in
question had been made on a Sunday
and was therefore Illegal. since a con-
tract made on, SUNDAY was null and
void in the eye of the law. The judge
before whom the case was tried avoid
ed ruling on the legality of Sunday
en6'a cement to marry by holding that
IL was unnecessary for him TO con-
slider that phase of the question. He
said other acts had been committed,
subsequent TO the Sunday contract,
l5ufficient to make the engagement
binding without taking into account
the original proposal and acceptance.
He held the preacher amenable under
his engagement TO the girl of the case,
and left the legality of the Sunday
matrimonial contract to be determined
later by those whom ii might CONCERN
more. There is some satisfaction in
knowing that the preacher was not per-
United to sauirm out of his engage
ment by the plea that it was made on
Sunday.
