The evangelists can not shelter
themselves with the idea that their
work has not been followed up. Their
argument in seeking to get into the
city is that they intend to move the
city, and they certainly do not. few
members are added to some OF the
larger churches. The smaller churches
get little or no benefit from the move
ment, and in some instances there are
serious questions and open criticism
of the conduct of the meetings, WIN
not enough spiritual power to overcome
local criticism when people were fav-
orable at the start. Such meetings can
hardly be successful. These brethren
are doing the best they can, and they
need the prayers and help of all Chris
tan people, but cities that expect that
they are going to produce lasting re-
suits in spiritual uplifting, are liable
to great disappointment, and the de-
mand for six or eight thousand dol
lars from a city for the conduct of
the meetings is altogether out of pro-
portion to any results they have yet
brought to the Pacific coast.
Probably carefully investigation
conducted six months or year after
the "professionap revival would show
in general the paucity of permanent
results. In an Iowa city where great
evangelist held forth. one pastor is re-
ported as having said that out of a
heavy addition to the church MEM
bership but a scant half dozen or less
of the revivalists converts remain
Another pastor reports a much larger
number of stayers. He also reports
system of special weekly visitation
to these members by himself and older
members, a continuous campaign for
their retention, and it has been sug-
gested that an aggressive movement
similarly conceived and carried out
with the same pertinacity as the de-
fensive policy that has been pursued
might have made the services of the
sensational evangelist unnecessary ana
saved the $4,000 or more which he car
ried away to the work Of Christian
charity in the home city.
But if the big revival and the
fessional evangelist are to go what
is to take their places? SO long as
huge church membership Is asked for
and desired and the rivalry existing in
this respect continues. some method to
draw the crowd will be called for. If
the circus band is to be eliminated
what then?

VINO IS THE scuRRlLous REPORTER

One year ago last summer When LaIe
Young had induced Hull to go back on
the agreement he had made with Cum
minis whereby Cummins was to nave
the selection of the Polk county dele
cation If he would keep out of the
Hull-Prouty contest, Governor Cum
minis went before a convention of his
enemies and in a happy acknowledg-
ment of defeat asserted that If the peo-
ME of Iowa would judge him by what
he had said rather than by what UNI
scrupulous enemies might say he had
said there would be far less opposition
to his ideas of political reform. That
convention was. the elimination OF
cameaign of the most shameful mis-
representation any public man had
ever suffered and it had been perpe-
/, trated by those members of his own
party base enough to- do dirty work for
railway attorneys who wished to pound
an honest, independent official into the
ground.
Saturday a mysterious dispatch in
the Chicago Record Herald indicates
that the same kind of campaign is
about to start again. Somebody had
inspired a dispatch from Des Moines
to the effect that Governor Cummins,
in a speech at Des Moines Friday night,
had condemned the Dolliver rate reg
dlation bill, Indirectly attacked Roose-
welt and otherwise made very SEN
sational outbreak. The Register and
Leader Sunday condemned this dis
patch as "scurrilous" and explained
that Cummins had not made a speech
OF any kind in Des Moines that week
and did not harbor the thoughts ex-
pressed in the words which the cor
respondent had purported to quote
from him.
The mystery now is, who was the
correspondent who would do such
thing? What was his inspiration?
Why should he be SO anxious to place
Cummins in the position of attacking
Roosevelt and Dolliver?
The incident cannot help but recall
another to which reference has twice
been made in the editorial columns OF
the Register and Leader within
month. Nearly two years ago ]. w
! Blythe, from this state, was present
at conference in Chicago at which
.'Jim" Hill and other railroad mag
mates were urging Mark Hanna to run
for the presidential nomination against
Roosevelt and for months thereafter
newspaper office in the west from Gin
cinnati containing constant attacks
upon Roosevelt and a continual clam
lr for some strong man to run against
i'm. The T.-R. was the only news
hper in Iowa to publish the fact of the
hicago conference and Mr.. Blytle's
essence. but when Blythe had captu.-
: ed the state on pretense of being with
Roosevelt he went to the national con-
vention at Chicago and voted the grea:
state of Iowa against the Roosevelt
tariff plank, in the platform along with
such railroad-ridden states as, Pellnsyl-
vania, Wyoming and California. The
question is, has this scurrilous mis-
representation of Cummins by some
political enemy been inspired By the
leaders OF the Blythe faction, who wish
to cover up the incident in Chicago to
which the Register and Leader par
sists in referring?

They brighten my darkest hours
And scatter my bleakest pathway
With the loveliest of flowers
They strengthen me IN my weakness.

And fill me with hope as grateful
Az hope that comes after prayer.
They smile for my Joy that liveth,
Though they will not weep for my dead,
But point with their fingers shining

BUSINESS At LEADING POINTS.

Renorts of commercial agents from
the larger cities to Dun's agency, tell
a story of unprecedented business last
wear. and are alive with optimism for
the next twelvemonth. There is no
forecast of hard times by the great
commercial agencies. Nineteen num-
bred and five will stand as the record
year in our commercial history until
perhaps 1906 assumes it's place by right
of conquest, In production, prices,
average circulation, per capita, and by
almost every other test of prosperity,
the past year touched high water
mark.
Chicago.-Wholesale dealings in gen.
eral merchandise for the year made
new high record, the gain being con-
servatively placed at 10 per cent over
last year In the absence of official
data no close deductions can be form
ed as to the progress made in the Lead
ing productive industries, but the to-
tai business was heavier than for the
wear 1904, by at least 20 per cent, this
including additional capacity operated
for the first time in iron and steel.
Wire producers are booked six months
ahead. electric works carry an unusual
accumulation Of orders and there is in
creasing request for implements, heavy
hardware and machinery.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and retail mer-
chants state that the year as whole
has been the most satisfactory ex-
perienced for some time. In some in
stances margins of profit have been
small, owing to the rise in important
raw materials, such as cotton, WOOL
leather and hides and the consequent
high cost of manufacturing. The free
dom from speculative buying has been
marked and on all sides there. is evil
dence of enormous consumption.

A COMING IOWA ISSUE

The time is not far distant when the
Hawkeye voters will make themselves
heard on the primary election question.

as good Hawkeyes devoutly pray that
the good work may go until everybody
becomes as good and politically free
from boss rule as we are. Some years
ago one OF the most eminent of the
medical practitioners and lecturers of
that time was lecturing before the then
leading medical college of New York,
on Rright's diseas Sc. After by numerous
tests, the character of which will really
occur to our medical readers, he had
shown the method of detecting the
presence of the disease and determin-

gentlemen. 1 will apply the test to my
self In order that you may see the re-
suit when employed in the case of a

proceeded he was seen to grow pale
and agitated then turning to his audi
