The Iowa classis of the Reformed
church in America calls Rev. Donald
Sage Mackey, pastor OF the Collegiate
church in New York, a hereto because
he quoted with reprobation the following
extract from a Scotch theologian: "The
godly husband shall say amen to the
damnation OF his wife; the godly parents
shall sing hallelujah at the passing OF
sentence Of death against their only child;
the godly child shall approve the damna-
tion of his wicked parents-the father
who begat him and the mother who bore
him." Mr. Mackay, who was formerly a
Congregational pastor in st. Albans,
where he married a daughter OF the late
ex-Gov. ]. Gregory Smith, evidently does
not propose to be relegated to the doc
trines in vogue 100 years ago, as he
comes back to the charge Of heresy with
the following; IF the Iowa classis in
dorses that type Of theology as the theo-
logy of the Reformed church in America
today, am ready to step out OF my pulpit
tomorrow. l would rather break stones
by the roadside than preach such a carl
cature Of the love OF God"

After Landseer.

Just as fact is stranger than fiction, so
are the things that happen in real life
often funnier than the choicest efforts OF
our professional humorists. Probably
there are no places in which one could
witness more OF lifes little comedies than
in our great picture galleries. Here all
classes assemble. and the odd comments
made on the various works of art afford
the attendants considerable amusement.
"Only last week l stood behind an old
couple from the country" remarked one
of these attendants not long ago. "They
were looking at the catalogue one of them
was carrying and then at a certain animal
picture
1.-TWO Dogs. After Landseer,' the old
lady read. Then they both studied the
painting attentively.

The missouri Idea" Of Good Citizenship.
Nothing more striking on laxness and
corruption in public life and the duties
of good citizenship has been heard in
years than i'm the address Of Gov. Folk,
the young Democratic reform governor
of Missouri at the dinner of the Mis-
sourians Of New York city last week AS
prosecuting attorney Mr.. Folk not only
revealed the corruption in his own state,
but secured the conviction Of many of the
grafters i'm high places who had been
Systematically pundering the state for
years. The result was his election as
governor, when he ran over $4,000 votes
ahead Of the Democratic presidential
ticket He gave at New York the follow
ing as the Missouri idea" Of citizenship:
THAT citizenship in a free country i'm
plies a civic obligation 10 enforce the
performance OF every public trust, hold
ing every public official to strict account
ability before enlightened public opinion
for all official acts" Few things in Gov.
Folks speech deserve more serious con-
sideration than what he said about the
obedience due to law and the duty Of en-
forcing the law because 1t is the law. He
declared that "the Missouri idea means
the enforcement OF law, and that, II the
law be bad, the remedy is to repeal,
not to ignore It," thus allowing the non
enforcement of a bad law to breed con-
tempt for al law. This is right in line
with the preachment Of several Vermont
newspapers for a long time.
He furnished food for thought for the
men who stay away from the polls. take
no part in public affairs, but condemn
existing conditions, in this statement:
There are many who thrill with patri-
otic fervor at the thought Of going to war
and risking their lives for their country.
but forget to vote on election day. The
patriotism OF peace is just as necessary
as the patriotism OF war The patriotism
Of the ballot is even more necessary In
free country than the patriotism Of the
bullet. Plenty OF men will die for their
country, but the man who will live for
his city and state every day Is the man
good government needs. The
government never neglects the people un-
less the people first neglect the govern
ment. No government. city. state or ma
tional. was ever better than the people
made il or worse than they suffered 1t to
become. Good citizens may
make good laws, but no law can make
good citizens When the people grow lax
in the discharge of their civic obligations
the government grows corrupt and the
very fountains OF national life are poison
ed. justice is thwarted and iniquity is en-
throned.

j. II. Eckels, who made remarkable
record as comptroller OF the currency
under President Cleveland's administra-
tion, now appears in the role OF a prophet,
with the statement that Chicago is the
coming financial centre OF the nation. and
he produces figures to back up the as
sertion. On Nov. 10. 1904, the banks west
of the Mississippi had more than 500 900. =
900 OF loans and discounts, and nearly
$500, 600 900 in individual deposits. These
figures showed a gain of 1873 per cent. in
loans and discounts, and 139 per cent. in
deposits since 1898, while the national
banks in all the rest OF the country gained
only IS per cent. in loans and 72 per cent.
in deposits. The western farmers are
great wealth producers. and they do their
banking in Chicago.

Fire at HInsdaIe This Morning.

Fire broke out this morning in the fac
tory Of the Granite State Moving Machine
company on Canal street the alarm being
rung about 710. The firemen were at a
great disadvantage. as owing to the loca-
tion of the building, close to the canal,
they could fight fire on only one side. The
flames were confined to the second floor,
but the damage is heavy, in part from
water. Many moving machines were
removed from the building. The fire
started close to the forge. where the
castings are prepared.

song of the Automobile.

Lord of all moving things,
Speeding on brazen wings,
Gayly l dash through the highways
bright gleam.
Sharply the iron rings,
Vital its quiverings,
AS / go flashing past meadows and
stream!
Loudly my heart doth sing,
AS to wheel I cling,
Pulsing In time to the motors swift
beat.
Joyous all care l fling,
Bidding the rushing wind
Bear it away to some distant retreat.
Madly the horn sound,
Daring, l dash around
Curves that may end in the ditch and the
grave.
Coursing like heetest hound,
Hot on Times fleeing trail,
o, could l catch him, the life stealing
knaVel
Wildly the people stare,
AS dash here and there,
Shooting like comet with long tail Of
dust.
Scarcely my Joy they share,
Judging from shouted prayer
Hope your darned auto will dry up and
bust!"
