Should Hano Their Heads.

REALLY these people should hang
their heads in shame. The public owes
thanks to the press for shedding the
light of publicity on one kind of
spurious Christianity in the community,
which, alas! is too common at the
present day. If these people, who have
only words of warmest praise for their
pastor in his legitimate labors as
preacher and pastor, required finan-
cial agent, it would have been a wiser
policy and truer Christianity to have
employed one for that purpose.
eff the church of Christ has come to
place more value on the man who can
raise money than on the one who can
preach the truth as it is in Christ, who
can lovingly and wisely counsel the
tempted and perpleXed, who can
strengthen the weak and comfort the
dying, then it is high time for a revival
that shall take hold Upon the hardened
and mercenary hearts of its followers
and change them into hearts of flesh.
May God purge the church of the spirit
of graft and self seeking"

fact that the ministry is of no reputa-

The "osIerized" Preacher.

Two preachers attacked the action Of
the trustees of the Austin Congrega-
tional church in "Oslerizing" their
pastor, Rev. E. B. Chase, when he had
reached the age of 60 years. One of
them criticised the ster on the ground
that there is something; wrong with a
church when it puts more value ON a
minister who can get men to open their
purses than one who can lead men to
Christ The other declared that "a pas
tors usefulness has not ended so long
as he keeps young heart"
Rev. A. Arnold Ross took up the sub
ject in prelude to his morning sermon
at Ryder Memorial Universalist church.
He said:
"a certain church in suburb of
Chicago has become dissatisfied with
it's pastor and it's authoritative mem
bers have curtly told him to go.
Reasons for dismissal are: Pastor is
nearly go years of age and therefore
too old; church needs "a younger man,
who shall possess the qualifications of
a canvasser, one WHO shall combine
hustle and persistence not in leading
men to Christ but in getting them to
open their pocketbooks for the paying
of church bills.

RUSSIAN PEASANTS AS CITIZENS.

Speaking of immigration. the ques-
"Why do not more of the Russian peo-
pie run away from the horrible con-
ditions of their own country. and seek
freedom in the United States" This
query was put to DR.. Steiner the Other
day and he; answered that They can't
get away. They are too poor and the
police will not let them
1t seems that the police in Russia
make it their duty to prevent the peas
ant class from moving around even
from district todistrict. Those who dc
emigrate must steal away across the
borders or bride the police, things
which none but the rich can do and
the incentive for them to escape is not
so great as in the case of the great
mass Of the people.
The Russian peasant, notWlthstand-
ing his dense ignorance and in spite OF
his beastial poverty. has in him the
basic stock of valuable citizen. 1t
is the observation of Russian students
that wherever this class is given an
opportunity he rises to positions of in
telligence and usefulness. 1t is alto
gether probable that should any con-
siderable number of them reach the
shores Of America the third generation
would see them assimilated into very
sturdy American citizens. They are,
even in their ignorant state, exception
al craftsmen. For generations and
centuries they have been born to the
pillow, which, after all, is the basis OF
our American civilization and under
prosperous conditions with the Ameri-
can public school always at their elbow
they would soon produce a class OF
American citizens of which we might
be proud. The Russian anarchist, the
man who is at war with all govern
ment and not willing to recognize the
difference between governments, how
ever. is a far different type. We could
better do without him.

: LOOKER-ON in IOWA :

Albert Lea Mimi. Sept. 29.-The re-
cent railroad accident at New Prague,
Mimi, will certainly give accident in
surance a big boost, not only among
the general travelling public, but espec-
tally among the class of travelling men
daily and hourly exposed to just such
an occurrence. For this affair, for once,
we cannot blame the railroad company,
only in this: that they were unfortu-
nate in having in their employ reckless
men. Disregarding common sense
rules was directly responsible for five
deaths and a score of injured passen-
gers. The passenger train going south
was ten or fifteen minutes late. With
full knowledge of this and that the
passenger train might make up" some
time, the engineer and fireman of the
freight train deliberately uncoupled the
engine, hitched to three freight cars,
and went on the main line to do some
switching. Running his engine back
wards, drawing his three freight cars,
he started up the main line past the
depot at high speed, some say forty
miles an hour. just then around a
curve came the passenger train, also
an hour. They We're not a hundred

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION.

4 u The question of restriction of immi-
grafton is one on which experts over
the country disagree. There is a gem
eral agreement that it should be re-
& Stricted, but to what extent and in
what direction there is wide differ
ence of poininn. A few days ago immi-
grafton experts from all over the coun-
try assembled in New York and tried
to agree on new immigratio law to
be recommended to- congress. They
adjourned without having accomplish
ed anything more than inducing an ex-
preston of the views of those present.
The prospect of ever being able TO
recommend any particular law to con-
gress was admitted to be remote.
The rock on which the conference
split was the question of admitting
cheap foreign labor. In the bill that
came before the last congress. but
which was held up in committee. there
was strict provision against letting
in Chinese coolies. Samuel Gompers
led the argument at the New York
conference in favor of this restriction.
He declared that there is not enough
work for Americans and that to adj
nit foreigners who will work for a
cheap wage would mean starvation to
the native born. President John Nit
chell of the Mine Workers Union
agreed with Mr.. Gompers.
"Tbere are 100000 mine workers who
are now working only 200 days in the
year" he said. IF we let in this cheap
labor they will be driven out of the
work they now have. l favor restrc-
ton of foreign immigration in the
broadest sense. Only men who have
enough money to be able to pick out
the kind of work they want to do
should be allowed to come in

Realize he said, "the vast bene-
fits John ID. Rockefeller has conferred
upon the country and mankind and you
will see operating in him the spirit of
God. The church is too dogmatic when
she claims that only her chosen ones
are serving God. Rockefeller is serv

body is standing by him.
Practically all the congregation is up

IOWA oplkloNs AND NOTES.

Iowa railroads are paying mlllOnS
more taxes than they did under DEM
ocratic state administration observes
the Odebolt Chronicle. The railroads
helped turn the state over to Boise and
they got reduction in assessment as
a reward. They are supporting Claude
Porter this year, and every thoughtful
man knows what reward they will de-
mand if he is elected"
The Davenport Times contends that
zone of the points made by Secre-
tary Shaw against state and govern
ment ownership of railways has not
been emphasized as it ought to be. He
called to mind that state and govern
nlent property are not taxed. Ii the
railways are purchased by the federal
and state governments, as Bryan pro-
poses, a considerable part Of the states
revenues will be cut off. The remain
ing property will have to stand the
burden of this additional taxation"
The Rockwell City Advocate, one on
the most ardent and able supporters
of Mr.. Perkins in the late pre- conven-
ticn fight, observes; THE Advocate
feels enough independence of the party
ties to say that men should exercise
independent judgment If they feel that
nominees are corrupt or incompetent.
If Governor Cummins, for instance.
were dishonest or incapable. the situa-
ton would be different But no man
brings charge against his personal
integrity, and all concede his ability
to fill the office of governor for anoth-
l,@ i1,o,
done. Iowa will not be ashamed of the
class of men elected to the governor
ship, if they all are able as A. B. Cum
minS.'
The Register and Leader has finally
made the discovery that there are two
reasons why the Burlington Hawk-Eye
is unable to understand reasonable
attitude of newspaper independence:
Being owned and edited by the Q rail-
road, it has neither the disposition nor
the training necessary to appreciate
honest newspapering. The Hawk-Eye
has not breathed breath of independ-
ence in ten years, nor of newspaper
honesty. 1t is the trade journal of the
@. passing itself off as an organ of re-
publicanism In a way it is the most
corrupt and most hypocritical news
paper in Iowa."
The Waterloo Courier thinks "the
Burlington Hawk-Eye should take it's
editorial on 'sniping' to heart and APP
ply it to it's own case. Its efforts to
clear it's own skirts by crying thief to
it's neighbors is hardly justified by the
circumstances. 1t cannot hope for re-
Mobilization in the graces of loyal re-
publicans by pleading alleged offenses
of Others"
The Manson Journal says: "There
Is but one thing to do and that is for
this country to take possession. 1t is
due American interests in Cuba that it
is done promptly. A majority of the
Cubans desire annexation, and Ameri-
can citizens are of the same opinions"
The Ida Grove Record, democratic,
is worried over the way the "politi-
clans of Iowa are fighting over Sena-
tor Allison's shoes and parading his
sickness for political purposes" and
says "his position in life certainly en-
titles him to a peaceful death before
being turned over to the undertake
