.MENz AND HIS DEVIL.
Detroit Man and Image He Set Up Tn
 His Yard.

His Yard.
 A few centuries ago Herman Menz, who has erected statue of Satan ill his front yard in Detroit, would have been burned at the stake. By making martyr of the old gentleman who can find nothing better to worship than his Satanic majesty the authorities would have raised him to an importance he is not now likely to receive. His statue of the devil has been treated for the most part as harmless sculptural freak, though when it was first un- yelled and was seen to be draped in American flags the indignation aroused by such use of the emblem of civic liberty was such that the old man de- cided to remove the flags and leave only a ribbon of red, white and blue around Old Nick's neck.

not Christian will ever get into the
consciousness and life Of the children.
Writing further upon the influence OF
adults upon the children, of house
hold, he says:
IF you wish your children TO be
Christians, you must really take the
trouble to be Christians yourselves.
Those are the only terms upon which
the home will work the gracious mir
acle.
and you cannot shift this thing by
sending your children to Sunday
school. You may remedy many things
but you cannot shift this responsible
ity. If the children do not get this
into their blood unexpectedly. they
are not going to get 1t into the blood
at all until it may be, they come to a
period of life where the influences or
Christian lives outside Of the home
may profoundly affect them and gov
ern their consciences We must realize
that the first and most intimate and
most important Organization for the
indoctrnating of the next generation
Is the home. Is the family. This is
the key to the whole situation. That
is the reason that you must get hold
Of the whole family when you get
hold Of the children in your Sunday
school work; that your work will
not be half done when you merely
get the children there. and 1t may
be. their mothers. You must include
the fathers. and get your grip upon
the home organization in such wise
that the children will have the atmos-
pheric pressure of Christianity the
week thru"

REFORMS REACH IOWA.

With Minnesota and Wisconsin
| pleased with their statewide primary
| laws, the nomination of United States
| senators BY vote of the people made
possible by Wisconsin's primary law.
| with the states of North Dakota and
Illinois moving actively toward getting
a statewide primary for themselves.
| and a railroad machine made governor
| in South Dakota advising against n
| primary law in his state, what would be
more natural than to hear the reform
forces in Iowa talking about state wide
primary legislation?
Governor Cummins. as chief execu-
tive of the state, is charged by the
organic law with the duty of suggest
ing to the general assembly the states
needs in lesi rlation and it is significant
that he is now telling the newspaper
men and repeating in public addresses
that he believes the time has come for
Il statewide primary in Iowa. But
Governor Cummins is more than gov
ernor. He is the political leader of
| the highest thought within the rank and
file of the dominant political party OF
the state He not only has the duty and
authority, as governor. to suggest and
recommend, but he has the power as
leader to draw men around him who
can do things, hence the statewide
primary may fairly be considered an
issue In Iowa today.
1t may be considered an issue for the
reason that in every other state where
1t has been proposed, 1t has been COM
PEELED to fight its way over the oppo-
sition Of the railroad machine, and will
meet the same opposition in Iowa. 1t
the primary came only as the culmi-
nation OF LaFollette's successful fight
against the railroads. In Illinois, it is
proposed now. because Deneen is gov
ernor, and in South Dakota 1t is con-
demned because railroad creature Is
the governor. In Iowa is 1t proposed
because Cummins Is governor and will
be opposed by the old regime.
Cunmins, however, would go further
in taking the nomination of candidates
out OF the hands of conventions con-
trolled by railway attorneys and COM
posed Of whole delegations transported
on free passes by having the legislature
adopt an anti-pass bill which would
punish as a crime the offer or accept
ance of a railroad pass by any public
official or political delegate. Not con-.
tent with the primary and selection
of candidates by the vote of the people,
he would strike at the fountain Source
of railroad influence in politics. 1t is
too soon, now, to grow heated IN the
discussion, but we may as well get
ready to consider the issue.

LET IT END WITH MukDEN.

Il ia clear that Mukden has fallen
and Kuropatkin,s army is routed and
In danger Of capture or total dislhte-
grafton. Perhaps the killed ana
wounded in the most desperate battie
az modern times will aggregate more
than 100, 900. The dead are an army OF
themselves. Still the indomitable Japs
press on oyer the mangled masses 10
finish the work before Kuropatkin
may break thru the Gordon. II the
Russians have broken thru the work
will have to be done over again. IL
the Japs have possession OF the rail-
road behind Kuropatkin, IL the circle
holds fast as Japanese lines are wont
70 hold, the Russian army is lost ana
the war practically ended. Russia mas
no hope at sea. If the great army
Of veteran soldiers is crushed and an
initiated at Mukden; she will have lost
her hopes on land. Long ago st. Pc
tersburg knew that Russia was WHIP
ned. The army in the east is being
sacrificed for a big bluff, a sop to the
sentiment Of Russian officialdom.
With her veterans captured or amir
: hilated, where is Russia to find the
men to match against those whose
Iomeric laughter rose over the clamor
or battle when they shouted: "out of
A. wv ..o F,,r,,, Dorf A rfh1irf' 2
What has Russia when Kuropatkin's
army IS gone or demoralized to put
: against those men who rush machine
guns with smile, who fight forty
eight hours without food, against ar
mics whose courage Is indomitable,
whose discipline is perfect and whose.
science mathematical? The Russian
troops are brave, they are fairly led,
but the Jap as a fighting man forgets
his mortality and goes into battle with
the fanaticism Of a crusader, and the
military genius Of Caesar. No Won
der that Kuropatkin's army Is broken
and fleeing. It is probable that no
army equal in numbers could be gath
\ cred by the nations Of the world today
that would Withstand the shock of the
laughing panthers led by Nogi and
oyama.
It is all very magnificent, but hell is
magndflcenk The stencil Of the char
mel house blows into the temple of
civilization from every battlefield. The
war in the east has been an acc,l-
mutation Of horrors. Let us hope that
. Il has ended at Mukden.

secret mental reservations have long

But they lead to all manner of ampig-

take the creed literally, and in all itg

Al Sorts Of Opinions.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Jewish Attitude Toward Jesus.
Rabbi Enelow, of Louisville, KY, adj
dressing one Of the largest and most
influential Jewish congregations in this
country, recently urged upon. his core
liKjonists the celebration OF Christmas,
rs commemorative the birth of the
teacher Jesus. who "inculcated the no.
blest and hottest tenets of all true re-
Iigion.'' The question of the attitude
Of the modern Jew toward Jesus is one
of considerable interest. In the New
York Sun DR.. Isidor Singer, editor of
the Jewish Encyclopedia" complies a
brief symposium on the subject, In
which he quotes from some of the
most eminent contemporary Jewish
theologians, historians. and oriental-
lists. He quotes DIR. N. Porges, con-
as follows:
Even the most conscientious Jew
may without hesitation recognize that.
in view of the immense effect and sue
cess of life, Jesus has become a figure
OF the highest order in the history of
religion, and that the noble man, pure
character. and mild heartwinning, per-
sonality come forth Enthusiastically even
from the mythical cover which sur
rounds his person. The fact that Jeuus
was jew. should, think, in our eyes
rather help than hinder the acknowl-
edgment of his high Significance, and it
is completely incomprehensible to me
why o. Jew should think and speak
about Jesus otherwise than with the
highest respect, altho we as Jews re-
pudiate the belief in his Messianic
character and his divine humanity with
the utmost energy from innate convic-
ton"
