Manly Christianity.

Professor Johannes Wendland, in the
Preussische Jahrbucher, of Berlin,
traces an interesting change in ideals,
primarily in relation to the working
classes. thru which Christianity has
passed. Professor Wendland SAYS that
at the beginning of the nineteenth CEN
tury the views of Schleiermacher prac-
tically dominated the religious world.
Fhe preaching of that day was almost
exclusively concerned with the 'fem-
mine virtues" of Christianity: surren-
der to Gods WILL patient bearing of
suffering, and kindred virtues, the re-
sultant profit of which would be inner
peace and holy joy. THE gain for
,hrlstians. he says, was more to be
found in an inner blessedness than in
IN active performance of duty, and it
did not appear that man because Of
his Christianity was obliged to do any
thing in this world. 1t seemed to suf-
flee if he were conscious in holy peace
of his communion with God. However,
this narrowing of the Christian IDEAL
had it's dire effects in the nineteenth
century. for the workingman was not
able to see the connection between the
ideal of Christianity and the ideals Of
his profession and in the hest of cases
the two went side by side without any
community Of interest. Therefore, for
weak minds Christianity was merely
an esthetic publication for Sunday and
feast days. and to the workman it was
an enemy rather than an assistance
Still worse results were produced by
the preaching of patience, of surrandec.

people were no longer willing to give
up in the world struggle, seeking sat-
isfaction in the thought that behind
the world the commanding hanG Of
God was to be seen. In former days
the people gave way more easily to the
inevitable, but the time had changed.
Now the individuality OF the man, the
feeling of personal worth, had become
strong, and believe that the ideal kerr
mel of the new workingmen's moves
ment lies in the fact that the feeling
of the worth of the individual has pence
trated more and more into the masses.
"Since the .nineties of the past CEN
tury,"' Professor Wendland concludes,
81 have found more manly strong
err and more German spirit repre-
scented in the various currents Of relig-
ious practice. In literature it is true,
there is still weary, broken. decadent
view Of Christianity. But the po'emic
Of Nietsche has produced gooi fruit
and it is today cleary seen that the
Christian ideal was formerly drawn
too weak that a helpless wretch OF
a man can not be considered the proof
of Christianity. If we do not wish tIi
despair Of the future Of religion we
must constantly represent it in this
brave form Such an ideal will fill the
striving working classes with the sat
isfaction which religion, to be efficient,
must never fail to impart."

CRAZY MANS CASTLE.
[Clinton Herald.l


Cray Mans Castle" one of the
most picturesque sights on the Missis-
sippi between st. Louis and st. Paul,
was demolished recently during a Sc
we're storm
"Crazy Mans Castle" so-called,
stood for a generation near Minnesota,
Mimi. opposite Cochrane, Buffalo
county. Wisconsin. 1t was built en-
tirely of driftwood by Putnam Gray, a
veteran recluse, who spent forty years
in the building. Gray earns few dol
lars each year by attending to the
river lights in his neighborhood. and
from the time, of his arrival in the west
in the SOS he occupied himself with
the construction of the castle. He
was without material and without
nails. except what he obtained from
wrecks and the building was made en-
tirely of driftwood. stray pieces of lum-
Der and logs from RATS and broken
pieces of old vessels wrecked on the
river. Thus one part of the building
would be made of logs. while another
might be hull of some abandoned
boat.
Work went on slowly and cid not
approach cOfnplelloH uHtll lew years
ago. When substantially completed the
castle was three stories high, bristling
with frowning towers and filled with
odd hooks and most remarkable mix
ture of architecture.
During the summers Gray lived in
the building and each winter moved
into town, to return again in this
spring to resume his lifelong task.
Never entirely completed, it had late
ly begun to look more nearly finished.
and Gray, who was ordinarily a silent
man. who had allowed neighbors and
travellers to wonder for forty years
what his object could be in construct
inR such q building. began to conade

to few that he intended to make the
place summer resort.
All through the years the castle
stood, despite the storms which rage
furiously along that part of the river.
When storm struck the steamer
Clyde as it was passing the castle and
sunk the boat, the castle was badly
shaken, too, but it remained intact for
the time. A week later, however, when
wilder storm swept out of LAX re
kin, and down the Mississippi driving
all vessels to shelter, the castle sue
cumbed and fell mass of wreckage.
Gray Is 'heartbroken over his misfor-
tune. Now past 70 years of age, he
realizes that the rebuilding of his cas-
tie Is impossible in the time left to
him, and declares that he has nothing

county being about as far away from
Marshalltown as is Missouri the T.-R
has no subscribers down there. The
newspaper even ignored the affair edi-
torially until the election was over
The insinuations in the interview are
merely another search for the explain
atory knothole.
The facts appear to be about like
this: Major Lacey, standpatter from
Standpatville, opened the campaign
before the Davis county republican
convention with a speech that stood
so still that it braced backward. Mr..
Curl the stantipat republican candidate
followed his leader. He attacked the
state administration, he opposed reci-
procity tariff revision, anti-pass legis-
lation, and all other kindred PROPOSE
lions of reform, just as Lacey did He
used the local papers to secure public
ity for his extreme views. Then som =
thing happened to Curl. The Times
Republican didn't do it. Neither did
the Des Moines paper. When the
corpse of his candidacy is properly dis
sected the cause Of Mr.. Curtis political
demise is plain and evident. Mr.. Curl
wasn't knitted. He stood so still that he
actually backed away from 1890 to
about 700 republican votes
Curl secured but a small vote but 1t
does not appear from the returns that
the republicans voted against him.
Roosevelt polled nearly thousand
more republican votes than Curl was
able to get out The previous republic
can candidate polled over 1900 De
Mar, the democrat, fell about 500 votes
shy of the full democratic vote. He
only polled 1900 in round numbers.
From the face of the returns the re-
publican voters simply stood pat at
home and permitted Mr.. Curl to stand
alone and a logical explanation Of this
action in county where Roosevelt
polled close to 1900 votes last year,
is that the voters couldn't stomach the
Lacey program of extraordinary con-
servatism.
To be of real value post mortems
should stick to facts and draw infer
ences from actual conditions. Mr.. La
cey and the other standpat sparrows
killed cock robin, not the Times-Repub-
lican nor the Register and Leader.

AS the Mirror has repeatedly pointed
out this battle should be fought to a

harmony but it either comes from
some timid Soul or from some one

a sAR.AeAlNsr COIL EGE ATHLETES.

A staff correspondent Of the T.-R., in
his regular budget of news and COM
ment ON Iowa conditions and happen
ings. furnishes the information that
the hotels Of a certain town have re-
fused to entertain visiting college
athletic teams; have in fact tabooed
them, and will not have their custom
at any price. The reasons given by
the hotel managers as related by the
correspondent is the rowdy, unruly
and not altogether honest habits of the
visiting teams. Soap, towels, spoons
and other portable property" disap-
pear with the visitors. One hotel man
ager recalls an instance where he held
up departing team while he searched
their grips and recovered his towels
and soap. On another occasion he in
yited the manager and the captain OF
visiting college baseball team to visit
the club room where he was mem
ber His guests stole a billiard ball
from the club room and blankets from
the hotel An officer caught them at
the next college town, where they had
an enga cement and forced them to
disgorge. Other hotel men in other
college towns tell tales of similar
troubles.
Now these boys were not thieves, as
we use and understand the term. In
positions Of trust the chances are that
they would be faithful and honest.
Neither were they fools. STILL at these
hotels, in the spirit of rowdyism they
PLAYED the fool and thief. There is
q difference between the tramp who
steals the silverware thru the base
ment window and the college boy who
pockets spoons at the hotel table. The
motive is different. The one steals
because he needs the money. The
other because he imagines he is doing
"smart" thing. But the difference is
one that the law scarcely recognizes
and the escape of the college man from
the fate of the captured thief is due to
the lenience and good nature Of the
man he stole from rather than any
deserts of his own. 1t doesn't make
large financial difference to the man
who loses property whether it is stolen
by a porch climber or = football
player.
When hotels draw q line against
college athletes that they do not
against professionals, 1t is time for the
faculty TO sit up and take notice.
Whenever fairly decent boy at home
takes to stealing small articles as
student, it is also time for parental in
vestisation. Not every collegian nor
every college team is rowdyish and dis
honest, but it seems that enough such
exist to force certain hotel keepers, in
self-defense, to pass UP any chance
of profit and deny all teams entertain
ment. Speaking Of reform here is an
for the faculties of the
colleges to whom the country intrusts
Its boys.
