SERMONS BOILED DOWN.


You do not make life sacred by looking
sad.
The ideal is the mold in which the real
is cast.
Heaven leaves the heart when hatred
enters.
Money makes the mare go, but it cannot
say where.
The tight listed preacher gets poor grip
on the church,
The damning doubts are those that deter
us from good deeds.
You cannot tell much about your crown
by the size of your hat.
The way to heavenly mansions may lie
through mean tenements.
Man, in the making, can only be measured
by the Master Workman.
Some men think that they are weary
In welldoing because their jaws ache.
Be patient: cardhouses are built in an
hour cathedrals take the centuries.
Nothing you can do peases the devil
more than your attempt to do nothing
The hot headed man does not derive his
temperature from his illuminating powers.
No man has any right to stay in the
church baby carriage when he might be
pushing its bread wagon.

foreign movement and this fact makes
1t the more dangerous.
1t Is undoubtedly the part of wis
dom for the United States to be pre-
pared for a possible exigency by in
creasing the number of troops at Ma
Mia. Such precautionary action would
possibly have a good effect upon the
Chinese government, which does not APP
pear to be exertlng itself very energet-
ically to check or repress the growing
spirit of revolt among its people. The
imperial authorities at Picking are prob
ably by no means Indifferent to the stu
alton, which 1t must be presumed they
are entirely familiar with, but they are
not exerting themselves as zealously and
energe1cally as the circumstances de-
mand. OF course there will be no action
by our government of an aggressive
character unless American citizens and
interests are so imperilled as to justify
vigorous measures. Diplomacy will be
employed so long as It shall seem to be
of any avail and conditions will have be-
come desperate indeed before American
troops are sent into Chinese territory.
The indications are that the far eastern
danger Is real, but II may be possible to
remove it without recourse to aggressive
measures.

DISHONEST SILVER COINAGE.

In the memorable free coinage de-
bate held in Omaha in the spring of
1896 William j. Bryan asked his oppo-
nent to define an honest dollar. The
response was: IAN honest dollar is the
dollar that will stand the test of the
fiery ordeal; the dollar that will be
worth as much when it comes out of
the melting pot as it was before it went
into the melting pot"
special agent of the Treasury de-
partment who is conducting a perpetual
search for counterfeit coin has notified
the Omaha banks to be on the lookout
more silver in them than the legally
coined standard dollars. Fears are ex-
pressed by the official detective of coun-
terfeit coin that Omaha has been flooded
with these over-valued spurious dollars
because 1t is almost next to impossible
to spot q counterfeit dollar on its per-
ambulations from pocket to pocket and
bank to bank.
This disclosure is by no means a
startling revelation. 1t is n matter of
notoriety that nobody in or out of a
United States mint can detect counter
felt silver dollar Of the latest refined
quality and quantity without making
an assay of the coin. 1t has been a
matter of notoriety for years that the
fabrication of counterfeit silver dollars
is the most profitable industry in Amer
lea, next to the fabrication of silver half
dollars, quarters and dimes. The coun-
terfeiters of silver dollars have acquired
skill in stamping bogus coin and are en-
titled to some credit for raising the
value of bogus silver coin by adding
from FIVE to ten grains of silver to the
dishonest dollars Of private coinage.
The moral of this tale is that the sys-
tematic issue of debased currency by
the United States government is
profitable source of legalized pillage and
an incentive to the issue of counterfeit
coin, which the government sooner or
later must redeem with honest money.
How many millions, or hundreds of mil
lions, will have to be redeemed is q mat
ter of conjecture.

THE UNcRoWNEp PorENTATE.

There never was a time In the history
of the world when public opinion, the
uncrowned potentate before whom EN-
perors, popes and parliaments bow in
humble submission, was as irresistbly
potential as it is today. A most striking
proof of this fact was furnished by the
passage of the Hepburn railroad rate
bill, which passed the house of repre-
sentatives by the phenomenal vote OF
340 to Z. The almost unanimous en-
dorsement of railroad regulation by the
Representatives of all political creeds is
by no means to be ascribed to COM
plete revolution of economic views on
the part of representatives who have
heretofore opposed railroad regulation.
In reality 1t is due to the conviction that
there Is such an overwhelming popular
demand for such legislation as would
make impossible the reelection of any
member who recorded his vote in opposi-
ton. 1t was the fear OF the displeasure
Of the uncrowned potentate that swayed
the minds of scores Of congressman who
owed their nomination and seats in con-
gress to railroad influence. They dared
not brave the well known and enthusi-
astic sentiment of the people who are
behind Roosevelt's railroad rate regula-
ton policy.
Only few weeks ago many Of the
men who voted for the Hepburn bill as
serted through the press and in the
forum that the proposition to confer the
rate-making power upon the Interstate
Commerce commission was unconstitu-
tional and utterly impracticable Of exc
cution unless the commission was made
up entirely of railroad experts. 1t was
asserted, moreover, by the opponents of
the measure that the exercise of the
rate-maklng powers by anyone was a
usurpation of judicial functions that
could only be vested safely in the fed
eral courts. But, 10 and behold! a
change came over the spirit of their
dreams, and they fell down on their
faces before the great juggernaut and
cried: "Peccavi! Il have slnned) l am
now ready to purge myself by casting
my vote with the majority and take the
chances of placating my railroad chap
erons before the congressional conven-
ton meets to nominate my successor"

cuMMJNs SEEKING A THIRD TERM.

The determination of Governor Cum
Minis to seek another reelection prom
Uses to make the contest for the control
of the coming republican convention in
the Hawkeye state of more than ordi-
nary interest.
The adoption of the biennial election
amendment legislated Governor Cum
Minis into an extra year in the execu-
tive chair, making his incumbency at
the end of his present term extend over
a period of FIVE years, whereas no other
governor ever held more than four years,
and no predecessor, except the lone dem
ocratic governor, ever even asked for the
third term. The establishment of q third
term precedent in Iowa might conceiv-
ably have an influence outside of that
state, as 1t has been the accepted doc
trine in all the western states and most
of the eastern states in which repub-
licans are in the majority, to give a gov
ernor serving acceptably one term one
reelection and then either promote him
to some other position or let him step
down and out.
Whether Governor Cummins has
sufficient hold upon his party to break
through all this tradition is open to
question. He has, 1t must be admitted,
attra cted more than usual attention
since he became governor by his spec
tacular performances, but most of his
appeals to popular favor have been on
lines of national legislation or reform
rather than state issues. AS governor of
Iowa he cannot bring about a revision of
the tariff, nor railway rate regulation,
nor reciprocity with Germany, nor the
amendment of the, federal constitution
so as to provide for the election of SEN
ators by direct popular vote. On the
other hand, his program of state issues,
including anti-pass legislation, insurance
regulation, the suppression of the lobby
and direct primary nominations, are all
matters which he could have and should
the five years in which he has been at
the helm. And when he asks for two
years more in which to carry out these
reforms he may have to explain why
he failed TO carry them out in the five
years already given him.
At the same time it must be con-
coded that Governor Cummins has a
certain personal magnetism and plaus
ible way Of presenting his case that has
won him devoted following, who will
undoubtedly support him unswervingly
in his quest for a third term. That he
will go after 1t also with his customary
vigor and vim may also be conceded.
1t is an open secret that the governor
ship is not the limit of his ambition and
that Governor .Cummins' desire to keep
in the political forefront is rather to
pave the way for either the senatorial
succession or the position Of Iowa's ia
vorite son in the next presidential con-
vention.
That Iowa politics will be strenuous
from now on until the republican state
nominations are made goes without
saying.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

Philadelphia Ledger: Religious factions
among the Syrians Of New York met In
such heated debate that two were killed
However as one belonged to each side,
the relative weight of opinion remains I'M
changed.
Baltimore American: A minister in New
York recently declared In the course OF
a sermon that he would go to hell with a
true friend or stay away from heaven with
out him. But, while so extravagant a
statement might impress some, the majority
will continue to hold the test Of true
friend as one always willing 20 lend money.
New York Post: Theoretically desirable,
the separation OF church and state has
always been In France. The inequity OF
the actual law lies in the fact that the
church is. on the whole. more regulated
than before. The whole form of parish
organization has been changed. Churches
become public property, and are only leased
at discretion TO the newly formed associa-
tions cultuelles 1t Is the steps preliminary
to this virtual conhscation which have pro-
voked the present disturbances, Further
more, the endowments to be held by par
ishes are greatly restricted, and the state
constitutes itself Judge not only or the
loyalty of an association, but Of its ortho-
doxy. Through the abolition OF the con-
cordat, the state sacrifices the right OF
nominating bishops. 1t is said that II will
endsavor TO maintain this prerogatiye in
the absence OF a treaty with the Vatican.
In fine. the church is treated as suspect.
whose conduct must be inquired into and
regulated with minuteness hitherto re-
served for the unfortunates OF the street.
One may deplore the fact that the Catho-
lies Of France do not obey the Biblical
Injunction TO turn the other cheek; one can
hardly wonder that their bewildermsnt and
indignation occasionally md vent In yio-
lence.

What the Washington, D. G.
Press SAYS.
A GRATIFYING ENDORSEMENT.

The eight annual report of the Bankers Reserve
Life Company, of Omaha Neb., furnishes ample evil
dence that it justly claim to having scored sub
stantial progress and gains during the past year.
Briefly summarizing that exhibit of this well known
western institution, find that during 1905 it's
premium income of $409, $3.50 has been increased
by $79O45 so that of the previous year, and that
during 1905 it approved 1929 applications, repre-
sentng So 439,500 of new insurance net gain of 3d.
O05,305 1904. But undoubtedly the most at
tractve feature to policy holders consists in having
the correctness of this annual statement and every
item of the published schedule of bonds and mort
cages owned by the Company, officially certified to
by the Insurance Department of Nebraska. AS the
dividends paid to it's policy holders during 1905
based the net premiums paid according to the age
of their policies equal to from to 25 per cent
Mr.. Bascom H. Robson it IS energetic president his
