A good share of the Dowieites, !
dare say, were drawn from this
class. Dowie's monstrous asser-
tons of miraculous power easily
made them his prey.
Many others were made captive
by this mans insolent and imperi-
Gus egotism. One who asserts him
self vehemently enough can have a
considerable portion of his fellow
men at his feet. The more auda-
cious and preposterous his demands
the more prompt and abject is their
submission. They are made to be
dominated, and are never quite
happy until they are the thralls of
some masterful will. We call this
hypotism, but the new word repre-
sents fact as old as history; it is
the subjugations of weak wills by
strong ones.
Not a few, no doubt, were cap
tured by Dowie's impossible eco
Monies. He had a gold brick to
sell, and the market is always full
of buyers. He was going to give
you something for nothing, or next
to nothing: to guarantee you all

took up with him as ne is today.
He never has given the slightest
reason to any person possessed of
ordinary judgment, for belief in the
claims that he has made for him
self. Why did they so greedily
swallow them all?
They will not answer. Probably
most of them could not. They now
know that they were dupes; how
I they became SO they could not ex-
plain. To others, looking on, their
, conduct may be more ineligible
than it is to themselves.
Many of them, no doubt, were
caught by their Unsuitable craving
for the preternatural. 1t is an age
OF science, but superstition still
holds sway. There are hundreds
of thousands of our fellow citizens
to whom that which is most i'm
probable is most credible. Marvels
and mysteries are far dearer than
facts, just as the most preposterous
romance is more interesting to
them than realistic fiction. They
want to believe in such things;
they are bound to believe in them;
you offend them if you point out
the lack Of proof; the man who will
make the most stupendous claims
of superhuman power Is the man
for their money. They follow him
wherever he leads. He may be as
careless as he will about verifying
his claims; it will not trouble
them.

things desirable, for almost no ef-
fort or outlay. That Is a bait to
which the gudgeons always rise in
shoals.
We may guess, also, that a con-
siderable number followed Dowie
for no better reason than that he
had already got crowd to follow
him. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess. 1t is easy to argue that the
thing must have merit or else such
a multitude would not indorse it.,
and thus to add yourself to the
multitude.
Such are some Of the foundations
on which was reared this monu-
mental fraud. Such were some Of
the causes that led thousands of
men and women to give themselves
and their all to the elevation to
power and authority of one twho
never was any other than that
which they now declare him to be.
1t seems pitiful and incredible
that such an imposture should
flourish in the light of the goth
century, but the facts are before us.
Out of them issues pretty loud
call for the schoolmaster.

BY Dr.. Washington GLADDEN.,
Preacher and Sociologist.

The marvel is not that John
Alexander Dowie has come down
but that he kept on his pedestal SO
long.
His followers now with one voice
repudiate and denounce him; even
his wife joins in the cry. They tell
him that he is a hypocrite and vari
Gus other kinds of unlovely things

knows it himself. They wash their
hands of him forever.

He is very much the kind of man
that they now represent him to be.
He always has been that kind of a
man. No fairly intelligent person,
who does his own thinking, has
ever had any doubt about him. He
is an intellectual and moral mon

FEEHAN, SUCCESSOR
OF D0LAN, A Conner

PITTSBURG, April 12.-Franl
Feehan, the newly elected presl-
dent of the United Mine Workers
of Western Pennsylvania, who sue
ceeds Patrick Dolan, is looked upon
as one of the coming labor leaders
of the country. Thirtytwo years
of age, with practically no previous
experience in dealing with big Ia
Dor questions, upon his shoulders
will fall the brunt of the battle of
100000 coal miners of this district
Twice he was delegate to con-
ventions at Indianapolis, and there
laid the foundation of his popular
ity by his advocacy of principles
high in the esteem of the miners.
Feehan's career has been mould
ed closely after that of John Nit
chell He was born in Wishaw,
Landarkshire, Scotland, Aug. "a,
1874. He came to this country with
his parents when Z years old. AT
ter a few months at school young
Feehan was put to work digging
coal. He has held every position
in a coal mine except mine boss.
When old enough, he joined the
United Mine Workers.
Several years ago Feehan almost
wrecked his career by becoming a
disciple of Emma Goldman, whom

Gals of the mine workers in the vi
cinity of Fayette City. But then
his better judgment saved him
from the socialistic pitfalls.
Feehan's chief recreation Is
found in athletic sports, and he is
a firstclass ball player.
