PULPIT sENsATloNAL,sM.

l,E There is limit to all things, and
Mere is limit that should not be
u Siassed In pulpit sensationalsm. There
|1's a certain sacredness that attaches
TO the platform upon which minister
islands to talk of the Omnipotent, or
There should. be, and no mans person
~ lity is great enough to set at naught
hat reverence which people feel, and
SHOULD feel. for the house of. God.
Evangelists, more than any others,
overstep the bounds of pulpit sensa-
tionalism, but there is generally some
extenuating circumstance to explain
their actions or to justify them. The
most remarkable instance just now is
that of William A, Sunday, whose SER
mons are a strange mixture of slang,
genuine pulpit eloquence, TRADE and
I prayer. But while the mixture is a
5strange one-too strange for some de-
lvout Christians to admire-the fact
What Mr.. Sunday shows many people
the better way to live excuses many of
. lis Oddities.
Sundays success, however, is excep-
i s..tional. and it should not be supposed
nby every budding preacher that, be-
Rifause he can say things that are SEN
= sational he is ordained to become a
n great preacher. Anyone can berate his
IAsfellow men. 1t has always been so since
Athe mishap in the Garden Of Eden,

live on earth 1t is easy to pick flaws
far too easy. 1t is easy to find rough
language to use in telling obout mems
shortcomings. Those qualities, do not
make an evangelist. His success lies
in his ability to lead sinners to see the
errors of their way and to repent while
there is time.
A young man named Hicks, Rev. Ira
Hicks, has created sensation at Can
tril by praying in one of his evangelistic
meetings that scourge might strike
Cantril He prayed for a devastating
fire, disease that would kill all the
people, an earthquake or volcano
that would swallow up all the people
in the little town-anything that would
show the people the mighty power of
the Creator and teach the Christians
of Captril that they should work with
him to save the sinners of Cantril
1t is easy to see where Mr. Hicks
got his idea He has doubtless dream
ed of success like that of Billy Sunday
or Sam Jones and he has chosen sen
sationalism as the sesame to unlock
the doors to dollar-lined fame But he
has gone too far. He has played above
the limit He should guide himself a
little more closely by the teachings OF
the theological school and less by the
lurid accounts of yellow pulpit ora
tory.

THE VALUE OF SEED CORN.

4 Iowa's corn crop for 1905 is reported
85y the state crop bureau as 346,000,-
1000 bushels. The total value of the
13crop is something more than $4,000
!. 900. The corn crop this year is $780,
500 bushels greater than that for any
Tsar; previous.
Sfg.s While the present year has been a
fNbod one for all crops, some of the
ltg91 iedit must go to Prof. p. G. Holden
"a i'd his seed corn doctrine, for the
sslles.Jlendid yield Of corn. Mr.. Holden
invent through the state on practically
Fever line of railroad, preaching to the
FORMERS his gospel of tested seed corn.
4 All over the state tillers of the soil
made their testing boxes and tested
their seed corn, using this corn to
raise their crops and growing small
patch especially for seed corn for
next year.
The farmers of Iowa can testify to
the value of the seed corn doctrine.
They will not soon forget it nor will
they soon forget Prof. Holden. Next
year will do for those who didn't start
This year, and next year should see

ioWA'S VETERANS.

Hampton Observation-Disclosures Brandt
in the Iowa City Republican, makes
an astonishing blunder when he says
mat 1T is twenty-five years since the
state of Iowa elected a veteran for
governor and that during the last forty
years the governorship has been held
but nine years by a soldier" Since
the office of governor: William M.
Stone. four years; Samuel Merrill,
four years; G. C. Carpenter, four
years; Joshua G. Newhold, two years;
Buren, r. Sherman, four years; Fran
CHS M, Drake. two years. Total twenty
years out of forty-one. And Governor
Drake was elected in 1896, only nine
years ago.
Mr.. Brandt is Just as far outside of
the mark when he says that he does
not recollect of but one soldier in the
list of the present appointees under
the state administration. We will not
go over the entire list, but remember
the following veterans, appointees of
Governor Cummins or now holding
under previous appointments: Will
liam FL Thrift, adjutant general; Geo
A. Lincoln, fish commissioner: T. e.
McCurdy. state custodian; G, S. Rob-
inson. member board of control. and
H. M. Pickell, oil inspector. So far
as the past is concerned, the republi-
can party Of Iowa has been more than
generous in favoring the veterans in
the matter of official appointments,
OF the lieutenant governors, eight
at least have been old veterans, in
Guiding the present incumbent; four
secretaries of state, at least four audi
tors, six state treasurers, two state SUI
perintendents, four registers of state
land office (office abolished in 1892
ana nine railroad commissioners since
the office was created in 1873. Since
the war seven soldiers have served as
supreme court judges of the state.
three as clerks of the same court and
four as attorneys general. Iowa has
sent at least thirty-one veterans to
congress since the war, and take it all
in all. we think that the veterans of
our state have no cause of complaint
against the republican party of Iowa.

INSURANCE INQUIRIES.

Since the insurance companies in
the United States have been ques-
toned by investigators and so much
that is undesirable has been found in
the management of some of them, the
English people, both in Great Britain
and Canada, have become uneasy and
are wondering what they can do to be
sure that they are not being buncoed.
esterday's dispatches bore the news
that number of British policy hold
ers in the Mutual Life have cabled to
the offices in New York demanding
the appointment of administration Off
GERS who will be watchful of the inter-
1t is not request, either, but a de-
mand.
The Toronto World, noticing that
the New York legislative committee
has summoned officials of Canadian
companies before it, grows uneasy and
seized upon the opportunity to sug-
gest that the Canadian government it
self institute an investigation of its
own comDanies. Says the World:
Would it not have been much
better thing to have had an investiga-
ton in Canada into our companies
rather than that we should have to
go to foreign country to know what
the policyholders in these companies
really want to know. and which, as
far as the Canadian law and the Ca
madam inspection are concerned we
cannot get. There are a great many
policyholders in the Canada Life AS
surance Co. who wish to know why
the face value of their policies has
been reduced within the last few
years, and they wish to llnoW whether
Ithe cost of management of that COM
pany has anything to do with that re
duction in the face value of the poll
cies. So far it has been impossible
to get any statement from the compa-
ny or from their newspaper apologists
in this respect The investigation in
New York has forced change in the
administration of the three big compa.
MES there, and there are Canadians
who believe that similar conditions to
those which have been abandoned in
the New York companies still prevail
In some Of the Canadian companies
and that glazing cases of nepotism just
as bad as the McCurdy instance can
be found in this country.
Apparently the government at OF
] tawa is afraid to tackle the ques

Announcement was made from the
White House Wednesday that Miss
Alice Roosevelt, the daughter of the
President, will be married in February
to Congressman Nicholas Longworth
of Ohio. 1t is comfort for Americans
10 know that Miss Roosevelt, than
whom no young woman in the country
has been more before the public in
the last few years, is to wed an Ameri-
can. Doubtless she has had chances
to become countess or to have some
other foreign title pref1xed to her name
but none of the glamor of European
courts has appealed to her. She has
become betrothed to an American, who
is popular both socially and among the
men who make the nation. He is a
favorite with gruff old Speaker Can
non just as he is favorite
with the society circles of the
capital He is rich and influential as
a citizen of Cincinnati, and he is ac-
tive politically. as his election success
sively to the lower house of the Ohio
legislature, the upper house of the
same body and twice to the national
congress testifies. The whole nation
will extend hearty congratulations to
Mr.. Longworth and to Mrs. Longworth
that is to be, daughter of her father.

ed. and they are afraid to demand a
detailed statement of the cost of man

the same. So that there seems moth

ers but to await the investigation now

such time as the Canadian companies
may be reached. But as only two or
three of the. Canadian companies come
under the jurisdiction of the State Of
New York, it is hardly fair that these
should be probed by foreign state
and the other Canadian companies es-
cape, so that it does seem to be incum-
bent on the government at Ottawa to
take up this question of management
and this question of the depreciation
in the face value of policies in Canada
and to let the Canadian policyholders
have the inside facts
There is probably as much reason
to suppose that there is as much that
is questionable about the Canadian
companies as there is about those of
the United States. The English peo-
pie have seen the wisdom of making
inquiries and they are quicker than is
usual to take the hint and to want to
follow the example of the progressive
Yankees. They will probably get
around to an Investigation by the
time the companies have had plenty
of time to straighten out their records
and get them into such shape that
there will be no room for criticism.
