Cost of Saving Souls.

while 1t is true in a certain sense that
salvation is Free" observed a citizen
yesterday, but judging by published
statements l have read recently, 1t some
times involves considerable expenditure.
Chicago newspaper has recently sent
out inquiries to several religious denomi-
nations to learn the cost of saving souls,
The replies are of decided interest.
elder Ellsworth of the Chicago Nor
mon mission says that his church has
expended about $500 for each convert.
These were the highest figures, and con-
sdering everything, it is probably no
more than right that a man should pay
high for the privilege of becoming a Nor
mon.
THE lowest cost for each convert was
given by the Volunteers of Americas
The other denominations heard from
ranged between these extremes.
"However.5it is patent that the aost of

ing. is higher now than it@nsed to be- A
well-known Chicago evangelist says that

prayer and request to join the church.

These ministers agree, in the MAN, that
general education has made 1t much more
difficult I'd convert people and to con-

people are GRriVided with so many meth

not believe that the Bible has lost it's
power but that the people are thinking
more for themselves and depending less

Take the Bryan endorsements, for ex-
ample. Bryan wrote a letter to Roger
Sullivan, national committeeman from IL

yet what did the democratic state con-

preferred against him by Bryan and then
endorsed E.yan for the Pres dency.
This is consistency with vengeance
But It was paralleled in the recent re-
publican state convention in Ohio. 1t Is
well known that both Senator Foster and
Senator Dick have fought nearly every
measure advc Gated by President Roose-

heartily endorsed the course of the sem

as heartily endorsed the President
tack on Sullivan both should not have
been endorsed in Illinois, and If the Ohio
senators were right in opposing policies
advocated by the President. then the
President must have been wrong and not

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE LAW
Lower House of Austrian Parliament
Passes Second and Third Read
ings of the Bill.

Vienna, Dec. 1.-The lower house of par
lament this evening passed the second
and third readings Of the new universal
suffrage bill. which grants an equal
franchise 10 every male Austrian over q
years of age. who is able to read ana
write and has been a reSiG snt for at least
a year in the places where an election IS
held. This ends the fight for universal
suffrage initiated a year ago by the So
cial Democrats. The radical Germans
made NOISY protests at the bill, while the
Socialists cheered loudly. The radicals
left the chamber before the division, and
there were no serious incidents.
In future the lower house of parlia-
ment will consist of 5t6 members, of
which there will be 233 Germans. 10l
Czechs. 81 Poles. 33 Ruthenians, "A Slavon-
ians, IL Serbo-Crotians, 10 Italians and ,
ROumanians.
Universal suffrage deprives the great
landed proprietOrs and chambers of COM
merce of privileges. The chief difficulty
to be overcome was how to distribute the
mandates among the various Austrian ma
tionaiities, and the key was finally found
mans and Czechs in Bohemia. 1t has been
arranged that Bohemia shall elect l50
deputies. of whom 81 shall be Germans.
1t is expected that universal suffrage viii

and gradually transform the national par

The upper house is not inclined to ac-
cept the bill, the peers demanding two
votes for all married men over % years of
age. Rejection of the bill by the upper
house will mean 2 renewal of the bitter
racial fight Government circles, how
ever. hope TO overcome resistance to the
measure there.
