find no steal in a pending measure that if the Senate could find no steal in it it was not likely to be there. eight active republican leaders in Massachusetts de- tected in state prison offenses-it seems to me as if I were living not only in another age. but in another planet"
 That was the testimony of the purifica- ton of national and state politics in the political life of Senator George F. Hoar of Massachusetts. May we live to see such a wonderful change in the purifica- tion of city politics. May we live to see our churches aroused politically. May our churches become great institutions of moral and political training. May their members side by side go forth to capture the political primaries in our cities for purity and right. May godly men always not only be willing to serve their fellow men in civic offices, but may godly men. by the grace of God, go forth to elect their fellows to positions of civic trust. Then shall the declaration of independ- ence of national liberty, signed by our ancestors for us, be supplemented by declaration of independence of our mu- nicipal charters, signed by us for the benefit of our children and our children's children. Then, like the Hebrews of old we will not only have six cities of refuge but all our cities shall be cities of refuge, wherein purity and truth and honor shall love to dwell, and where Christ's altars shall be the shrines at which municipal officials and inhabitants shall bow the knee and worship. May God bless and speed the contamination of our beloved cities emancipation from sin.

The Logger's Vocabulary.

Thomas R. Sipp, in The Reader for July.
 The language of these woodsmen often more forcible than elegant is as pie turesque as are their surroundings Most of us know what "sapling' is, but what Is road monkey" or a bull donkey?" A road monkey" keeps a logging road in condition, a ''bull donkey is simply a big donkey engine. Yet these are some of this woodsmans common terms. For instance, ''briar' is cross-cut saw. a bully" is a foreman of a logging camp, a "choker'' is a moose of wire rope. "Of course" you say But what is a goose pen?" Why a big hole burned in the standing tree Easy? Well, then. here's another. What is a "widow-maker?' An swer a loose, hanging, broken limb, which is supposed always to mean dan ger to the man who gets under It.
 And so it goes. A dead man" for in- stance is fallen tree. but dead head" is a sunken log A 'dozy" log is one that Is decayed A single sled is a "dray," but it likewise may also be a bob a crotch" a "go-devil" lizard" a 'scoot" or "sloop" but never a ''sled' With fine insight into human nature the woodsman knows the sub-foreman as the head push" MT. Pinchots Forest Service has compiled a "loggers' dictionary" which contains all these and many more words just as picturesque.

Senator Hoar's Testimony.

Thank God, I believe civic purification is not far distant It is almost miracu- lous to catalogue the rapid changes which have come within the life of the present generation in the purifcation of our national life Senator George F.
 Hoar died in 1905. A short time before he passed away he was asked this question: Senator, Is the political life at Wash ington growing better or worse?" He an- swered the question In these words: : ''When I came into public life in Wash ington in 1869 the corridors of the capl- tol were haunted by lobbyists interested
 in all sorts of schemes for plundering the public treasury. There were quite a num- Der of senators and representatives who were suspected by their associates of being venal When I think of the condi- tions which prevailed then and for years followng-Tweed intrenched In power in New York. five judges of the United States court fleeing from office under threats of impeachment for corruption the Credit Mobilier scandals. the scandals attending the Austrian exposition, the lobbying, the whole civil service treated at patronage by powerful political lead CTS, the report of the committee of mill itary affairs in the House recommending the expulsion of four of its members for making sale of their privileges of select ing youths to be educated at our great military school, the impeachment for cor ruption of four judges in New York, the whisky frauds Gin which the private sec retary of the president was implicated), the Belknap impeachment. one eminent member of the United States Senate say ing to another when he declared he could

From the Indian Sporting Times.
 The dates quoted, if correct, would ap- pear to place the fact beyond dispute that the Chinese were the originators of polo.
 It is ayerred that polo was played in China during the Tang dynasty about A. D. 500, and the theory is that the Chinese learned the game from the con ouered Tartars
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-07-08

Look to the Conventions.
 But we must not simply look at our municipal candidates when we attempt to rescue our cities from their present political corruption. We must also weigh carefully in the balance the men by whom these candidates are being se- lected. There Is not one municipal can didate in ten thousand who will an- nounce himself as a candidate for a city or county office, as did William Tray CTS Jerome for the district attorneyship of New York city. A man as a candidate for a public office is inevitably the can didate of certain men and belongs to the same class. 'Tis true that certain men, like Governor Folk of Missouri, may be better than the men who nominated them, yet as a rule, in the political world the water never rises higher than it's source When a man is nominated by a convention for city office he is, a rule, no better and no worse than the men who want to elect him to that office. Therefore if you would find out the kind of municipal candidates who are running, all you have to do Is to go among the men and find out what kind of men they are who want that candidate elected. In other words, you can nearly always judge a man politically by the company he keeps.
 During my ministerial manhood I have been citizen of three of the greatest cities of the country. Philadelphia, Pitts burg and Chicago have each been my home. have always adhered to this custom to the letter: When a municipal election was taking place I used to walk through the lower parts of the city. There I would carefully scan the faces of the different candidates which the sa- Ion keepers put up In their windows. You will be surprised to find that in nineteen cases out of twenty these faces are all ways the same in those saloon windows. Then I would always scratch the names of the men whose pictures I saw the sa- loon keepers wanted. Birds of feather nearly always flock together. If a can didate for a civic office trains with the saloon keepers and the dive owners and the gamblers and the reprobates you ought to fight him. No matter what ticket he may be on, fight him to his political death.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-07-08
Stand by Your Officers.

This statement naturally brings me to the last and perhaps the most important heading of all the discussion. If you re- fuse to vote for candidate for munich pal office and whom the bad men want then comes the practical question: Are you and I, as Christian men and church members, ready to do our part in city politics and lend our personal aid to the good men of our cities who are trying to nominate and elect good city attor- neys and good school boards and good police commissioners and good political heads of our fire departments and hon. est men who will purge our municipali- ties of corruption? It is nonsense for ministers to sit back in their eccesiasti- cal robes and say, "It is not our business to touch city politics." When a moral issue Is at stake 1t Is the business of all the churches and the business of all church members to go to the primaries and help nominate the men who ought to be nominated and help elect those honest men after they have been placed in nomination. If the members of the churches would only stand side by side at the ballot box and In the primaries. as the saloon keepers and the owners of the places of evil resort stand side by side, the day would not be far dis tant when all cities would be redeemed and .purged of political corruption, even as our United States court rooms and our national legislative halls have ceased to be a stench in the nostrils of all de- cent people
