and excavation. 1t was the habit OF
the sterner ministers Of the old school
to call attention to the judgments
of Cod as they We're prone to con-
slider calamity when 1t afflicted the
wicked or the careless. Few Of us
past forty have not trembled in our
boyhood over the fate of Sodom and
G'omorrah as painted from the pulpit
or felt guilty thrill over the forceful
relation in Sunday school of what
happened, and why, to Ananias and
Sapphira. The rending of the saucy
children by the heaven sent bears came
earlier and belonged to the infant
class. Most boys had mental picture
Of Ananias as he fell and q bloody
scene In their minds of the condition
of the highway after the bears got
thru If a boy lived near a grove he
kept an eye out for she bears for a
week after he had been impudent.
There are many older men who If
they were minded to tell the truth,
would confess to having said lin a
husky voice as the preacher went by:
60 up, thou Bald Head" with one
fearful eye on the adjacent wood and
the intent to hike for the house if a
bear showed up. We believed in those
days that God sent calamity. We
heard more Of the, avenging rod than
of the comforting staff.
We don't tell our babies about the
bears nowadays We don't teach that
railroad wrecks, consuming fires, or
earthquakes that involve the innocent
and guilty alike in the holocausts they
create, are marks of the Creators dis
pleasure. We don't believe it and
we are the better for our disbelief We
tell our children first of the raising OF
Lazarus, the granted plea of the peni-
tent thief and of the plying Christ and
teach them the true fear of God. The
fault was not with religion in that ear
lier time. It lay in the distorted con-
ceptions and indefinite apprehensions
of the time. This generation has
marched closer and sees clearer than
they. 1t is the growth Of human kind
ness and hope and brotherhood that
makes men closer to God, and puts
such evangelists as the one at Can
tril farther away from both.

THE FEE SYSTEM.
rcedar Ranids Gazette. |


The Gazette has been presenting
to its readers series OF COM
munications from members of the bar
and others, in Linn county, on the fee
system. These articles will embody
the views of many men who have to
do largely and chiefly with the in
tricacies of the law. and their views
on the subject will therefore be read
with great interest by the layman
whose knowledge of the fine points of
law is limited but who at the same
time has pretty accurate knowledge
of what is to the best. interests of the
people There is a growing opiniNa
that 1t is not necessary to enter the
realm of national politics to fiWd con-
ditions that need reforming, and that
these reforms should be along bust
ness lines. And if reform is needed in
any matter, the proper time to bring
that reform is the present, not after
the alleged abuses have fastened
themselves on the commonwealth to
such extent that nothing short of q
political revolution will bring about the
needed changes. Everyone, it is be-
lieved, will agree that the fee system
is pernicious: if it Is pernicious, it
modified that it's present form will not
be recognized. But a thorough dis
cussion and study of the matter
should be had, and to that end the
opinions of those who have a legal
knowledge of the situation should be
read and discussed.

DRUNK WITH SUCCESS.

The failure Of three great banks In
Chicago at time when prosperity
would seem at high tide, might APP
pear al the first muttering of gath
ering storm unless studied carefully. In
the light of all the attending conii-
lions. This disaster was caused pri-
marty by the over-reaching of one
man who plunged in his business UNI
til he was in hopeless frenzy of In
vestment. With millions in stone
quarry and millions in saw mills he
got into row with the millionaires
who own the Chicago and Eastern Illi-
nois railroad. To beat them he put
more millions into the building OF
railroad Of his own. they then coun-
tered by buying all the coal mines
along his new road and Walsh was
compelled to put more millions into
coal lands, but the plunger found
himself spread out too thin and the
capitalists of the Chicago and East
ern Illinois broke him. 1t was merely
another tragedy in the American jun
/ gle OF finance.

the public should hang its moral is

That the spirit of charity is abroad

of the school of domestic arts and sci
ence, of Chicago, was evidenced by the
fact that when an appeal was recent y
made for volunteers willing to pass on
what they mad learned, to those too
poor to CINE to rl1is excellent school
several volunteers were added to the
list. The principle upon which this
school is run is e. sound and sensible
one and deserves ali the popularity I
l:as gained AS expressed by one Of
those in authority, the idea is that a
woman should be as carefully trained
for the care of the home as man is
to support it, also that equality be-
tween men and women lies not in the
ballot, but in their ability to perform
their various duties with equal eff
cheney, for men have raised many OF
their occupations to professions, and 1t
is time that women did this in home
making. This suggests the further
Thought of whether it might not be
better for women individually and as a
sex. to first put forth more concsil-
trated effort to making the home life
reach g higher degree of perfection, be-
fore seeking to effect the much needed
reform liz politics.
