PUSHING AWAY THE SPOON.

w. O. Payne, Of the Nevada Repre-
sentative, Major Raehburn OF the
Marion Register, and some other edi-
tors who represent the extreme stand
pat county press Of the state, are un-
satisfied with the plan of harmony
suggested and insisted upon by the
Burlington Hawkeye and Cedar Rap
ids Republican. These editors of week
ly papers insist on seeing the formula
of the patent harmony preparation
brewed and concocted at Burlington
and advertised at Cedar Rapids. Adj
uniting that the label reads all right
they are making faces and refusing the
spoon until they know what the bottle
actually contains. Thus the Nevada
Representative asks Mr.. Perkins, most
prominent among suggested harmony
candidates for the governorship, where
he stands on the question Of reciproc-
ity, because TT wants to know and
other good standpat papers deny their
present support to any candidate UNI
til he has made his position clear on
certain issues.
Mr.. Payne's question is eminently
another on rate legislation. No two
questions have been so much debated
in Iowa within the past two years.
They have been the core of political
discussion in the press, among the
politicians and at the crossroads store.
The Representative really wants to
know what every voter in the party
wants to know and it singles out Mr..
Perkins for the question not because
he is Mr.. Perkins, but because he is
at present the candidate most talked
of to succeed Governor Cummins. The
same question IS on the examination
papers Of every candidate.
What is wrong or inadvisable in all
this? 1t would seem that the men who
select and elect have the right to ask
questions and that candidates for their
franchises should in all propriety an

er seeking the candidate who repre-
sents him best, cab growing strong
er every day in the precincts and not
to be denied, question properly to be
asked by standpatter, reyisionist rate
refor1ner and the supporter of rail-
roads. They all really want to know
and they have the right to know. The
Representative is justified in making
faces and pushing aside the spoon.
Any brand of harmony soothing syrup

Benefits Of schism.

Court of King Arthur" argues against
the popular idea of a united church.
advocating instead. "go-as-you-
please" policy in religion -ence of
unanimity among the chu. .les, he
urges, is safeguard against the all
Yiancd of church and state, and the
consequent mutual interference be-
tween politics and religion. Mr.. James
Lang in q letter to The Presbyterian.
(Toronto), offers yet another argument
against church union. He says:
Has not the divine Creator set the
seal of approval upon diversity OF OPP
erations' by establishing uniformity in
law with infinite variety in matter and
mind acted upon by law? BY all means
let the Evangelical church leaders
strive to soften the asperities of con-
troversal discussion and emphasize the
points of doctrine upon which there Is
already practical unanimity.
But before attempting to set up
system of administration for society
SO complex as the united church must
be. they should keep in mind few
indisputable facts in. the past and
present Of church life. For example,

The Church as a Brotherhood.
Literary Digest.1

Literary DigeSt.l
The Rev. DR.. Robert Stuart MacAr-
thurs recent impassioned defense Of
Mr. John ID. Rockefeller served to en-
phasize the idea of the church as Il
brotherhood--a conception which has
been somewhat in eclipse of late years.
declares the Evening Post. Every
new sect, says The Post, has made
much of the idea of brotherhood. 1t
continues
"The Methodists--to mention but one
example-actualy used the term
Brother or Sister as the common
term of address for a fellow member;
and they seriously set out to treat
each other as dearly beloved brothers
In Christ They promised, as mem
bers of one family, to settle their dis
putes out Of court and thus avoid law
suits, and to restrict their business
and social intercourse, as far as might
be practicable, to those who were Of
the same household of faith newt
ably these Christians who have taken
to heart their mutual relationships
have looked keenly to the morals Of
each individual of the flock.r
Thus, fifty or seventy-five years ago.

were pretty generally punished by CEN

Methodist. minister can achieve MOTOR
iety by threatening discipline for dane
ing and card playing; in 1850. on the
contrary, he could achieve it by ne
glecting to enforce his strict rules"
This the Evening Post regards as evil
dence of declining sense, within the
church, Of brotherhood and mutual re-
sponsiblity. "That sharp line which
used to divide the children of light
from the children Of darkness is rapid
ly becoming obliterated." If the reviv-
al of religion for which the devout are
praying so earnestly shall ever come,
continues the writer "it will surely be
accompanied by revival of the an
cient and obsdescent doctrine of
Christian brotherhood"

A PERTINENT QUESTION.
NV. 0. Payne in Nevada Representa-
tive.]
The Sioux City Journal whose edi-
tor, Mr. Perkins. is looked upon as a
candidate for governor upon a char
mony" platform, makes apparent reply
to criticisms upon harmony" pro-
gram, the answer being that the re-
publican party of this state should
give it's attention to live issues and let
the dead ones drop. The reply Is ex-
cellent so far it goes; but the Repre-
sentative" still moves for more spe-
cific statement and would much like
to be advised as to what issues are live
and what are dead. Especially is this
true as to the reciprocity issue. There
is to be a reciprocity convention held
in Chicago In August, and the present
governor of Iowa is down for one Of
the leading speeches. At that conven-
ton the people will undoubtedly be
urged to support a policy one of whose
chief details will be the following:
Scure from Germany the admission Of
American products upon the same
terms as Germany accords to the pro-
ducts of other nations, by admitting
ducts upon more favorable terms than
are admitted the products Of other ma
lions, as for example, Great Britain;
while at the same time the other ma
lions, and Great Britain in particular,
are admitting American goods on as
favorable terms as they are admitting
any goods, and on more favorable
terms than Germany proposes to
grant, and are using now more Amer
lean goods than Germany Is using or is
likely to use, whatever concessions
this country may grant. The propos-
ition is complex; but we hope it is
clear, and it is the essence of recipro-
city, as that varigated policy is now
presented to view. Now it is the fact
that the present governor of Iowa is
using his position as chief of this
state to give standing and popularity
to the sort of reciprocity that we have
here stated; and 1T is equally a fact
that there are many other republicans
equally prominent, who do not intend
at any time nor under any circum-
stances, to become advocates or en-
dorsers of any such policy. Now the
information we are seeking is this:
Is the foregoing policy a live issue or
dead one; and if it is live, ought it
to be supported or opposed? That is
to say. we are seeking the view of the
editor of the Sioux City Journal on
the question. AS for oursef, we are
really in doubt whether the issue is
alive; but we are enphatically of the
opinion that If it is not dead it ought
to he, and would wonderfully like to
see the next governor of Iowa a man
who will not give any countenance,
official or personal, to vagaries Of this
sort. In putting the question at the
editor Of the Journal, we wish to be
understood as not seeking to cause
embarrassment but as really wanting
to know.

Remarking that "first it was Score

is held up by the newspaper cores
pondents as the great obstacle to the

president Of the United States the
Brooklyn Chronicle suggests there is
another obstacle which may at some

| the fact that it is by no means certain
that majority of the republicans of
Iowa wish to see him president"
"And why should any republican be
| interested in having a convention held
next year that will be free from con-
test and debate?" asks the Register
and Leader when did the republican
party ever lose anything by healthy
and vigorous rivalries? Why should
a party that has always won it's
greatest victories when it was hand
ling men and measure without gloves
suddenly find it advisable to begin a
year in advance to cover it's tracks,
and to plan for convention in which
everything should be done by unani-
nous vote?'
1t becomes more evident every day
that the dickering on the other side Of
the Atlantic is going to force the recf-
procity issue on the United States"
observes the Council Bluffs Nonpariel
it presents the matter in this way,
