AUTocRAcy STILL LIVES.
San Francisco Chronicle.

The news from Russia is not very
reassuring TO those who hoped that the
autocratic element in the government
of that country would profit by recent
experience and mend their ways. Every
thing points to complete abandon
ment of all attempts at reform, and Il
recurrence to the old methods of op-
preston and robbery. Il is becoming
more and more evident that long peri
Cd of education must precede any eff
tective effort of the people to better
their condition, and the teachers must
not come from the ranks of the ter
rorists. There is not the sllghtess doubt
that the excuses of the latter are re-
sponsible for the back-set. and that so
long as their counsels prevail a vast
majority of the more substantial ele-
inent of the Russian population will
oppose change of any kind

latter word, but limb" has hitherto

THE STRONG MANS DAY.
New York Mail.

Throughout "a century and a quarter
the tendency of the nations of the
world has been toward diffusion of the
governmental powers. For the first
time evidence OF n reactionary disposi-
ton to trust all to the one strong man
appears In nearly all the larger nations
at the same time. The Kaiser sends
the Reichstag about Its business. and
his purpose to force the appropriations
he wishes for German colonies arouses

who assailed him fiercely before he took

Union Services Last Sunday


Last Sunday morning at the Chris
tian church, Rev. Charles r. Shatto,
District Supt. of the Anti. Saloon
League for Southwest Iowa, made an
address at Union service of the Con-
gregational, NJ. E.. and Christian
churches. His subject was, "The
Foes of the Home" They are as out
lined by him "Businessitis,n that is
absorption in business to the neglect
of the home life by the men, and
"Sasiety" life by the women, easy
divorce and the train of evils follow
ing the use of Intoxicating liquors.
On account of the rain the audience
was much smaller than was hoped for
or than was deserved for the pleasing
and convincing remarks of the
speaker
In order that others might have an
| opportunity to hear this important
matter, a meeting was appointed for
Tuesday night at the M. 81. church at
which the lecturer showed stereop-
tican views of some Anti.Saloon
League workers and views of our state
institutions which are largely the re-
suits of the intoxicants, namely, the
penitentiaries, reform schools and in
situations for the feeble minded and
inebriate asylums.
This address was much appreciated
by those who heard it, being abso-
lutely free from sensationalism, but q
simple logical, pictorial presentation
of the fruits of intemperance.

Needle in Baby's Stomach

Mrs. E G. Crane was engaged yes
terday morning in washing her eight
months old baby when passing hel
hand over its stomach she felt some
thing prick her finger and upon ex-
animation observed a needle point
protruding thru the skin. 1t was
soon extracted, but when or where
it got into the child's body is mys-
terry. The child has been fretful and
sickly, we are informed almost ever
since it's birth and if the illness was
caused by the needle, now that it is
removed, it is hoped the little one
will soon be well again.
