.AdUertisiNS Sermons.

In THIS age of commercial progress and aecumu-
ation of great fortunes, printers ink has played
interesting part. Never before has advertising
reached such broad dimensions as it has today The
newest entry into the domain Of publicity is the
Christian Church This is certainly an innovation
No doubt this departure from the staid customs of
the past will meet considerable opposition. It will
also meet with many able champions. Many argu-
ments could be advanced as to why the church
should not advertise it's Sunday services. Still when
view the proposition loses much of its commercial
aspect
The pastor who has 1naugurated the plan of
advertising his in large letters bilboards
possesses courageous SOUL His mission is to save
and spread the word of God to the further
most ends of the earth If advertising will aid the
cause this pastor believes it should be utilized by
every possible Because printers ink is used
extensively to advertise questionable business prop
ositons is reason why the church should not use
this method in order to advertise it's sermons. This
pastor has advertised his Sunday sermons in order
to let the people know what he intends to preach
upon So far the venture has proven success.
Each Sunday his church is crowded. He has dem
onstrated the fact that it pays to advertise In the
past the church has used the press in announcing it's
Sunday services. 1t now remains to be seen whether
step further in the field of advertising will be
ceptable.

II Popular RULer.

EMPEROR WILLIAM will soon be known as the
most popular ruler Of Europe if not of the world
This universal admiration is being won by deco
rations, gifts, letters of sincere commentator, and
by expressions of coincidence when serious accidents
occur When the excursion boat General Slocum
burnt and thousand human lives were sacrificed
the German monarch not only expressed the usual
friendly feeling of sympathy, but sent representa-
tive of his government to look into the needs of the
Survivors. Now he has recognized the heroic de-
fender and besieger of Port Arthur by comforting
upon them the Prussian order of "Pour lie Merite.
By this means his majesty expresses his admiration
for these two gallant warriors and, incidently,
warmly applauded by the people Of Russia and Japan
Many people accuse the emperor Of entertaining
Interior motives. They hint that his deep
solicitude for other nations in distress is only
auxiliary to the game of international politics. This
charge may be true. However, it is not worthy of
consideration The fact remains that by these meth
DDS the German emperor is contributing in small
measure to an amicable understanding among the
nations Today his popularity continues to grow
among the rulers of the world. We know of ruler
who is more deserving of this popularity than is
Emperor William. His actions are worthy Of the
honor.

LOcOti7lS Gold Mines.

ALMOST any metropolitan paper may ex-
anime contains advertisements calling attention to
the fact that gold or silver mines be located with
rods. This is queer proposition; but the queerest
part of the ad is that the seller guarantees the article
to work satisfactorily Of the rods either
a bare-faced swindle or else toy. The impress
sion gains from reading the ad leads the cred
uous reader to suppose that these rods capable
of locating gold mines galore. AS a general thing
the easy-going public bites hard at swndle of this
nature. The average person knows that he is being
victimized. This much he comedies. He only wishes
to test the reliability of the attached guarantee He
thus: "Well, Archibald if the rod is fake,

These rods means of keeping

mines, they are dismal failures-a fraud of the
worst kind.

II Prison Liternru SocietY

IT is not generally known that within the con-
fines OF these massive stone walls and innumerable
iron bars there exists organization known the
Chautauqua, Literary, and Scientific Circle. Such
is the case, however, and it has membership of
twenty-five persons The circle is entirely in charge
of prisoners. The Assistant Deputy Warden and a
guard are present at each meeting, but only in a
official capacity The society holds fortnighty meet
ngs In the prison chapel, and is presided over by
president, vice president, and secretary. These
officers are elected by the circle each year. The
program is prepared by the president and it consists
of the reading OF manuscripts prepared by the men,
bers -Four papers read at each meeting. Three
of these papers pertain to class studies and the
fourth is special paper volunteered by of the
members The latter usually consists OF some timely
topic as those who volunteer for special paper
have the privilege of choosing their own subject.
After the reading of paper it is discussed by
all the members. These discussions are always
orderly and dignifed. Each member is limited to
ten minutes IN reading his essay and another ten
minutes is devoted to it's discussion. When arti
Gle requires exhaustive research extension Of five
minutes is granted the reader. This, however, can
only be done by majority vote of the circle.
Before beginning the program an interesting
feature of the circle takes place This feature is the
roll CALL AS each members name is called by the
rotary he responds by giving quotation from some
author. These quotations must be memorized as the
bylaws prohibit their being read It is also we'll to
mention the interesting fact that the bylaws contain
section which provides for the expulsion of any OF
the members who are guilty of plagiarism.
The Chautauqua Circle was organized about fiji

support Of the officials. Since then not single

M1zzLiNS the Press.

GOVERNOR PENNYPACKER Of Pennsylvania, is
again attempting to muzzle the newspapers of that
state. His former attempt was futile Since then
the newspapers have made the governor the butt end
of many scathing editorial and drol cartoon to the
delight OF the onookers. Some of the papers which
have been persistent in amusing the public at Mr..
Pennypackers expense, he threatens TO suppress as
public nuisances. While this arch enemy of the
Fourth Estate may prove to his satisfaction that
certain paper was public nuisance, it would be a
costly matter to find twelve men who would coincide
with the governors views We are inclined to think
that Pennsylvania chief executive is merely batting
the press for the advertising there is in it, in order
to support his political ambitions If the governor
is sincere in his desire about wanting muzzle for
the press of that state he should write to the of
all the Russias. That country has discarded the
muzzle and it now could be bought at ridiculously
low figure. e

Mr.. Mcclellan, moreover. has not only had the

The Mayors position to me is wholly incom-

in this He talks simultaneously about the
tremendous sums spent by him in public inn

King who looking for a new Grand Vizier,
asked them to send him nobody but a man who
could find way to increase the expenditure and
simultaneously to decrease the taxes. The con-
tention of the Mayors friends both as to re-

with those OF Mr. Lows administration, is
fragrant and deliberate effort at deception
