SHAW ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

Leslie M. Shaw, secretary Of the
treasury, has said a great many things
during his brilliant public career that
are worth copying and worthy the con
sideration of all. He has spoken on
questions of political interest to this
country and the whole world and most
of his time has been devoted to these
matters. But that he has had time
for other affairs, important in another
way, is shown by the address he made
few days ago before an audience of
10000 young and old people in the
chapel of st. James Methodist Episco-
pal church at Brooklyn, N. Y. He told
his hearers that Bible study and Sun
day schools are vitality essential to the
welfare and progress of the country.
Mr.. Shaw said:
II believe S 5,day schools are doing
a great work for the country. You
young men, when you get through here
and go out into the world, don't forget
lessons you have learned here. / do
not say the Bible should be taught in
the public schools, but do say that it
is not taught in the public schools. It's
the Bible as the book that is not
taught in the pulpit, either. am not
prepared to say that it would not drive
many people away from church. If the
Bible is taught you at all, the chances
are you students here will get the most
of your knowledge of the book from
Sunday school study Of it and for that
reason the Sunday schools are the
greatest institutions in the country"

EXIT THE MUCK RAkER.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.-The man
with the muck rake is being driver
out of the alley. He has been poster
ing around until he has brought the
old woman out with the broom. After
few days of sunshine to dry up the
opel, places, the man with the white
wash brush will follow, and then all
will once more be lovely.
Don't be a muck raker. Keep your
eyes heavenward. Dwell not on the
vileness and baseness Of things earth
ly. Leave the vermin to themselves.
They may eat the bottoms off your
trousers, but no matter. Be you high
minded. Look only for the bright
spots.
The muck raker is he who stirs
things up. Don't be one Of them. The
sight is more comely just as 1t is. Let
things alone. Look up. Never mind
what's going on below 1t would not
look well if raked over It's muck.
Keep away from it. Fasten your eye
on star. Smile, don't complain. En-
dure, don't rebel. Don't be a muck
raker. Everything's all right The sun
is shining, the grass is growing, with
near by-and-by. Peace be with you,
There are no muck rakes in Utopia.
Make a bonfire of them. They can
be Of no use to you. The muck rake
can only serve to divert your attention
downward and to dispoil your virgin
confidence. Keep clean. The muck
rake leads to dirt. Let it alone. 1t
turns up bribery, forgery, larceny, de-
bauch Of the ballot, wee children toll
ing their lives away in noisome mills
and factories that a few may live in
palatial style, the widowed mother
bent over the wash board, grafters,
false trustees, dishonest public SER

the money changers in the temple and
all the multitude of hideous and shape

It's unsightly, disagreeable 1t makes

NEWS AND THE EARTHQUAKE.

Viewed from the practical stand
point Of the newspaper man, who, in
his zeal to get news and give 1t to his
patrons, forgets perforce all the senti-
mental points and the misery and
heart-aches caused by that Of which
he writes, the earthquake at San Fran
cisco was one of the greatest and
most noteworthy events in recent his
tory. Nothing to compare with it in
news value has occurred since the sue
cess of the peace negotiations at Ports
mouth, and the manner in which it
was handled" in the newspapers can
not fairly be compared with the way
the Portsmouth conference was treat
ed.
The best writer's obtainable in three
continents were at Portsmouth for
weeks, waiting for the end of the con-
ference, in order that they might send
the news to the corners of the earth.
Every possible advantage was given
them. They had their Offices, their
stenographers, their messengers, their
leased telegraph wires, their comfort
able hotel quarters and everything that
could be ASKED to aid them in the work
for which they went to Portsmouth.
On the other hand, the earthquake
at San Francisco was, of course, a sur
prise, bolt from clear sky. There
were, no specially detailed and picked
writers at hand; there were none of
the conveniences that even a cub re-
porter would consider necessary to his
demands in getting up news STORY.
The whole city was in confusion. such
confusion as steals from the most self
possessed man all his energies of mind
except the animal instinct of self pres
ervalion. But in spite of this, the
world, with bated breath, waited for
the young men who Cover" the news
field of San Francisco to send out the
news. Crowds gathered around bulle-
tin boards in every city in the country
and excitement ran high a thousand
miles away from the scene of the dis
aster, but still the reporters in San
Francisco worked among the fallen
and burning buildings. stumbled
through death traps, braved the ter.
rors of insanity even, to get the news.
A single wire was left open from
San Francisco to the outer world after
the earthquake, and over this strand OF
metal there came out of the stricken
city the story of the terrible condition
within. Telegraph operators took their
lives in their hands to send the news
to the whiting millions of people scat
tered over the continent And it is to
them and to the reporters of San
Trlrnisca that the newspaper reading
p,tlic owes debt of gratitude for the
news of the catastrophe.
When the excitement of the moment

stories viii. be published, telling of the
earthquake and it's results, but they

in their way. some of them, but they
will not be news. There is only one
time to cover news. and that is while
the news is happening while 1T Is
news. The San Francisco reporters did
this. and they did well.
The Associated Press deserves full
credit for its report of the earthquake.
Its reports to It's members, of which
the Courier is one, were singularly
well connected and comprehensive,
considering the stress under which the
work was done, the great confusion
that existed in San Francisco and the
meagre facilities for sending the news
out of the stricken city The Associ-
ated Press gave its afternoon papers
splendid reports and demonstrated
again, as it has many times, that 1t is
the most perfect news gathering or
ganization ever effected.

THE CITY MANS GARDEN.

Minneapolis journal This is the
time tof the man with the rake, not
the muck rake which the exposers Of
the dime magazines make use Of so
handily, but the garden rake, with
which he is industriously bent upon
cleaning up his yard, removing the
dead leaves of last autumn, and en-
collraging the grass to come out and
silis its song without words.
The yearning to delve in the soil is
something which the farmer has no
monopoly upon. While he may turn
over acres to the city mans square
feet, he does it with no more pride in
hero who has hurried home from the
city to burn, clean and plant.
Pity is due the man who has no de-
sire to plant seeds and wait for them
to sprout, who Is not ready to sacri-
flee ease, leisure and even baseball
games to the enthusiasm Of garden
ing. What though the return be
small, what though his wife may buy
earlier and larger radishes in the mar
did not watch and tend them, and
after all they have market flavor
which is insipid. The home grown
radish represents devotion. 1t is
eaten in the excited glow Of achieve
ment. The market radish has no sem
tlment and frequently 1T Is hollow
otherwise.
Besides. the home garden counter
acts the tendency to dyspepsia which
makes its appearance periodically in
mortals who devote themselves too
assiduously to the intoxicating pleas
ures Of the Office chair. 1t brings into
being muscles of which the owner
VOTED not and the perspiration that
1t develops goes far to prove the phys
Illogical assertion that man Is COM
posed of three buckets Of water, an
assortment of wires and capacity to
comprehend his Wife's directions.
Thomas Lowry, once made the re-
mark that no man ought to he per-
mitted to own land who was not will
ing to do something with 1t. He meant
not merely to buy and sell, but to inn
prove it. This applies to city lots as
we'll as to farms of vast extent. The
forms of improvement Of land are
many. One Of the most rudimentary
is the act of clearing it up. This
means too often merely the duty of re-
moving from the face of the earth the
distortions of nature which the GRIM
inal instincts of man have put. there,

carded articles of clothing. Nature

THE CATASTROPHE.

History records few disasters great.
er than the one that will be known
and remembered through decades to
come as the San Francisco earthquake.
AS the more detailed news comes from
the unfortunate city today it is
learned that the results of the earth
quake are worse than first reports in
dicated and that the stricken territory
is not at all confined to San Francisco
and it's suburbs. Many cities sur
rounding the Golden Gate are wrecked
and many lives have been lost outside
of San Francisco. 1t would be impos-
sible to estimate the number of mil.
lions of dollars that might represent
the money loss, but it is safe to say
that $100,000,000 is conservative.
Such a catastrophe as that which
has befallen the Pacific slope exempli-
fies and illustrates the littleness OF
men and their efforts as compared
with the might of nature. It cannot
but make the most fippant pause and
consider how small is one Of Gods
creatures beside God himself. And it
makes more easy the process of believ.
Ing the accounts of miracles that are
told in Biblical history
Fifty years is long time as com.
pared with three minutes. But three
minutes was sufficient time for nature
to tear down all that man has built up
in more than fifty years. Buildings
that have been erected by dint of the
combined efforts of the intellects and
physical forces of hundreds of men
were toppled over by the earthquake
natures agent of destruction, in a few
seconds and by an unseen force. Men
who put aside the cares of arduous la
Dor at night and lay down to sleep il,
their homes were crushed under tons
Of brick and mortar without the warn
inc even of an awakening. Trusting
to the stability of structures men had
built, hundreds of people. saw theil
faith destroyed when natures invisible
myriads of invincible hands tunblet
down high buildings of brick and stone
and lighted fires in all the pitiable
piles of ruins.
Such a calamity as that Of Wednes
day may well cause men to ponder
NSue wonders Of nature and her great

Editor of Courier:-M Major Mahon in
the Courier on the 18th inst, says:
There seems to be great misappre-
hension If not misunderstanding on
the present position Of the republican
party in Iowa in regard to railroad
rate question" am of the opinion
that the major is under some misap-
prehension himself, seeing there is no
division of the sentiment among re.
publicans of Iowa on local railroad
rates. AS an evidence Of this call
the attention of the major to Governor
Larrabee's letter of April 10, 1906, to
Governor Cummins, which the latter
made public on last Saturday at Spirit
Lake, in the joint debate with Hon.
Geo. D. Perkins. In part, the letter
is as follows:
II have much pride in our law of
1883, which you helped much to frame,
especially in putting on the finishing
touch concerning the long and short
haul clause. This, especially, have
looked upon as the best legislation on
