lust WHAT 1T COSTS NOW
TO CONVERT A SOUL.

The Mormons appear to spend more
money 10 secure n single convert than
any other sect Elder Ellsworth, of
the Chicago Mormon mission, told the
Chicago Inter-Ocean that his church
expended probably fifteen hundred dol
lars for each convert The statement
came out In connection with the Inter-
Oceans inquiry into the cash cost of
saving souls i'm Chicago. The Mormon
figures were highest the figures OF the
Volunteers OF America-fve dollars a
convert-were lowest. II is patent that
the average cost OF conversion is much
higher today than II used to be-

We content ourselves with the fact

ing business with God and with heaven.
General education has made IL much
more difficult to convert the people and
TO conduct a campaign of evangelical
tion. The people are provided with
so many methods OF occupying their
time and thought that there is no
longer any possibility OF getting indi-
vduals to come to church TO fiji in
spare hour as they used TO do go
readily.
A minister OF today Is also familiar
with the fact that the Bible no longer
occupies the place OF authority in the
minds OF the people that II used TO.
And when preacher has to prove the
truth OF his only authority II is bad
tendency on the part OF the people.
II is the same as II the lawyer, when
he appeared in court to plead his case
were obliged to prove the truth of the
Constitution, which Is the fundamental
law. on the other hand, the evangelist
himself hasn't the slightest doubt OF
the authority OF his message, while
he knows his hearers have.

THE BOY.

wouldn't be single thing on earth
Except a hoy;
And it's just an accident OF birth
That I'm boy;
And, goodness gracious. When stop
and think
That once trembled on the very brink
OF making my appearance here as a girl
But I'm boy.
Just think OF the jolly fun there is
When you're a boy!
tell you you're just full OF business
When you're boy.
There's fires to build In all the vacant
Go swimmin'. tie the feller's clothes in
knots
Tie tin cans on tails OF dogs-why, gee!
The days amt half as long as they should
When you're boy.
There's lots OF foolish things that make
you tired
When you're a boy:
There's heaps OF gpuchy men that can't
be hired
To like a boy:
There's wood 10 chop at home, and coal
to bring,
And here, DO tnlS-dO lndt-tnt otnet
thing"
And worse thain all, there's girls--on,
holy smoke!
Are they a crime. or are they just joke
Upon a boy?
And then, there's always somebody to
When you're a boy
Somebody always laying down the law
To every boy
Pick up you're coat: see where you've
put your hat:
Don't stone the dog don't tease the poor
old cat:
Don't race around the house'-why sun :
rim Moses.
The only time you have to practice things
like those is
When you're a boy
And yet, don't believe I'd change thing
For any boy;
You've got to laugh. To cry. TO work, TO
sing,
To be a boy:
With all the thoughtless noise and care
less play.
With all his heartfelt trials day by day.
with all his boyish hopes and all his
fears.
ia like TO live on earth a thousand years
And be a hoy.

MORE WOMEN IN THE
WORLD OF BUSINESS.

The increase in the number OF women
in the trade and Industry OF America is
alarming. says Walter Hope In his
article. THE Coming Sex" in the Tech
nical World Magazine.
Out OF 3O5 "gainful occupations" emu
merated by the census OF the United
States. there are only eight in whicn
women do not appear From four out
OF these eight occupations, women are
excluded by law. At the present time
there are over 100000 women at work
in various trades and occupations in
the United States. In 1900, or every
FIVE American women over 10 years OF
age, there was one who was going out
side OF her family duties and who was
taking part I'm the gainful work of the
working world. At that time there
were forty women civil engineers,
thirty women mechanical and electrical
engineers and three women mining en-
gineers, besides fourteen women vet

ment therefor the money of the gamblers who pro-
NOTED it,
What was the reason for this amazing failure
10 suppress and punish open and scandalous in
fractions of the law? 1t was fear OF offending the
boss, of whose dictation Governor Utter is now
proclamng his absolute independence. Brayton-
ism guaranteed protection TO the gamblers at Mar
ragansett Park and Governor Utter did not and
dared not interfere with Braytonisms decree.
Such is the governors record law en-
forcer. Such is his independence OF boss domina-
ton established by his acts rather his failure
to act in contrast with his empty and grandoquent
professions.
Governor Utter in spite of his preachments to
the contrary, is just much Braytonisms cand-
date and just as subservient to Braytonism as the
most servile senator elected by the venal voters
OF rotten borough town.
He could not have secured a nomination first
or last without having consented to wear Bray
tonsm's collar He could not have been
elected except by Braytonisms debauchery of
electors, and had he practced during the term he
has held Office what he preached on the conven-
tion platform last Thursday. he would long ago
have been retired to that limbo to which Brayton-
ism consigns those who murmur against its au-
thority or defy its DEGREES.
Governor Utter must accord the people OF
Rhode Island but small measure of intelligence
il he believes he can convince them he is not the
puppet of Braytonism. Such task is beyond his
power 10 accomplish
AS the associate of Braytonism for years as
the candidate nominated by Braytonism, and as
the beneficiary OF Braytonsm's shameless chicanery
and scandaous pollution of the electorate, the
honest citizens of Rhode Island will 90 to the polls
next November and repudiate this man who has
insulted their intelligence and aronted their man
