WHAT'S THE UsE2

IJp to a late hour this afternoon the
Topeka Capital had not announced It's
determination to take hand IN the
next glorious crusade by being for
Stubbs instead of Curtis for United
states senator The Capital has been
one of those journals most 1nsistent IN
demanding a Statement OF Position
this is a fine place for the Capital to

Herald.
Now Why does the editor of the Her
old want to bring up such embarrassing
questions at this stage of proceedings? ?
Perhaps the State Journals morning
contemporary has it all figured out
but suppose it hasn't: Think how en-
barrassing it must be to the Capital to
be pressed for an answer off-handi
Why not let the Capital 60 ahead
with Mr.. Stubbs and regulate the rail-
roads in peace for the present? It
may not have time to do the job next
winter when the senatorial campaign
gets hot.
Besides Mr. stubbs has not said for
sure that he is a senatorial candidate.
Of course almost anyone in Kansas can
shut his eyes and guess whether he is
or not in one guess, but what's the use
of loading the Capital up with trouble
in advance.
There will doubtless be a good many
members of the legislature elected in
opposition to railroad domination
After those members are convinced
that their senatorial candidates cannot
be elected. the Capital may be useful in
leading them into the Curtis camp if it
does not destroy its influence now by
declaring itself
To be sure, Mr.. Curtis may not need
any such members. From present in
dications he viii be an exceedingly
strong senatorial candidate anyway.
With his own personal following, which
is by no means inconsiderably. aug
mented by the Long influence and the
support of the railroads. Mr. Curtis
may be close to the senatorial plum
without any other support; but addi-
tional votes might be handy thing 10
have in case they are needed.
Therefore the State Journal trusts
that the editor of the Ottawa Herald
viii not press this embarrassing mat
ter. What right has the Herald to pose
as a Herbert Hadley anyway? What's
the number of his asker's license? It
looks as though the Herald is trying to
divert the Capital from the Great and

One of these false prophets has ap-
parently just come TO the end of his
rope. It was a long rope-longer than
false prophets usually have. False
prophets usually do not last long. but
John Alexander Dowie has had an ex-
tended career.
But the end OF his career as a
prophet has apparently come. He is
accused of falsity in his home and
among his immediate followers. and
the accusations have the appearance of
truth
There is doubtless much ef truth
and good in Dowieism, else 1t could not
have secured SO many followers. Moth
ing wholly base and false can secure a
sober hearing among the people. It is
the history of all such movements as
that of Dowie's that there is much of
good mixed in with the error; and 1t is
the truth, the good teachings. COM
bined with some supposed miraculous
power, that obtains a hearing for them.
There are certain good teachings about
Norm onisn, for instance. and only
these are presented when Mormon mis-
sionaries are seeking converts.
But the moment that these so-caIled
prophets begin to teach those things
that are false and wrong, they begin
to undermine themselves. Error must
at some time come to grief That is
what has happened in Dowie's case.
Of magnetic presence and strong per
sonality, he has been able to move
thousands and has converted them to
his teachings; but when he began to
use his power to accumulate wealth for
himself he began to arouse suspicion.
Such actions are not in accordance with
the twentieth century idea of right
eousness. It is right and proper to ac-
cumulate property, but not to do so
under the cloak of piety.
Mr.. Dowie, who has posed for years
as a prophet. is accused of secretly
teaching the hideous doctrine of polyg-
amy-and he has been disowned by his
family and his people.
Dowieism, in common with all such
s'fsras, emphasizes the lesson that
when any pretended teacher of morals
and Righteousness departs from the
rules laid down by the Great Teacher
in the Book of Books, it is well to be-
ware of him. Whenever a prophet"
promulgates a doctrine contrary to
those taught in the Bible it is good evil
dence that there is something wrong
with him somewhere
