exclusive interest of women and chill
dren;" the time has come for "men TO
come to their own
Here is a field" he says, ''for the
exercise of the largest abilities pos
seSsed by the ablest men of Christen-
dom; and the nature of the situation
at present is that if the men of the
churches do not enter into their prop
er inheritance, the biggest task to
which they could lay their hands will
miss the opportunity of ages.
Cup to the present, foreign mission
work has been a mere reconnaissance
il force, and not war. One of the
hurtful decisions of the home churches
concerning foreign missions "a delusion
sometimes fostered by Unbalanced re-
ports from the field is that the whole
heather world is on the verge of con-
version to Christianity.
Zone of the commoneSt figures OF
missionary oratory represents the ma
tons as crowding into the church. Now
the unwelcome fact is that heathendom,
as a whole, has scarcely been budged
by missions. Great as have been the
missionary triumphs in spots, the whole
mass has hardly been touched by the
Christian teachings. Even enlightened
Japan, which many persons believe to
have become almost ChristfaniZed, is
still rankly heather, except for a small
percentage of the population which only
the mind of faith can invest with con-
uuering power. The overwhelming and,
at first sight, immovable and impregna-
BILE heathenism of mission lands is a
challenge to the churches.
Now, this big task calls for large
measure. The brains which have crea-
ted the vast commercial enterprises of
the twentieth century must attack this
work with equal adequateness. This
undertaking is too great to be MAIN
tanned on basis of petty, pathetic or
heroic stories, adapted to arouse the in
terest and sympathy of women and
children.
UNLESS it be established on a firm
basis of principle and purpose, by men
who have the vision and courage and
reeourcefulness to plan tremendously
and persist unfalteringly. the mission

lively demand can not be successfully

disguised, to behold the two-penny
character of a work that is designed to
transform nations. More than once

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR
William T. Ellis of Philadelphia,
Guest of Honor In Topeka.

Missions are a work for men. Ex-
pressed in the terms most common
among the business element of the
country, the missionary proposition,
as it exists today, is one that calls for
the best powers of the ripest mascu-
line judgment" This is the conclusion
of Mr.. William T. Ellis, the Philadel-
phia journalist who writes weekly for
the State Journal and who is in To-
peka this evening as guest of honor
at dinner given by the business men
at the Y. NJ. c. A. building. Mr.. Ellis
has recently returned from the Orient.
Reviewing his impressions he declares
that he is more than ever a believer
in foreign missions. although my I'M
derstanding of the enterprise has
radically altered"

RAN ONTO OPEN LIFT.
Car Came Near Climbing Over the End
i'm Chicago.


Chicago, Oct 19-Shooting suddenly
upward at al, angle that grew to As de-
grees, the foremost car of train on
the Metropolitan L dashed on the open
ing lift of the Jack Knife bridge be-
tween Jackson Boulevard and Van
Buren, street last night.
For second it seemed that the i'm
petus of the car and the rising ten
dency of the bridge might carry it over
and hurl the car off the tracks. Then,
the motor power shut off and the force
of gravity operating. the car fell back
ward and was telescoped with the sec
ond car which had come on from behind
with undiminished speed.
In darkness and amid crashing glass
from shattered windows the startled
passengers of the forward or motor car
hurled from their seats and sliding
toward the downward end of4the coach,
CROPPED for the exits. Fortunately the
number in the car was small only eight
and all succeeded in escaping from the
heap into which they were thrown.
In all three of the cars in the train
there were only Is passengers. The
shock and the sudden darkness caused
by the shutting off of the electric cur
rent threw them into momentary con-
fusion but all escaped injury.
The second car, jamming into the lift
ed one, slid up the slide three or four
feet, then was halted by the resistance
it encountered.

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 19.-What is
looked upon by the coaches as Prince
tons first game of the football season
will take place today when the Tigers
will line up against the strong Wash

coaches have devoted their attention
to strengthening the Princeton de-
Tense since their last game. They
realize that the Washington and JEFF

years Princeton eleven being able to
score only six points against them.

Weather Still Warm.

For the opening day of>the football
season this is about all that could be
asked. A five mile an hour wind from
the southwest will add snap and vim
to the playing of the opposing teams
though the temperature is not such
that the spectators in the bleachers
will suffer from the effects. The cold
spell which it was thought would be
the entering wedge of fall weather ar
rived on time though it stayed but a
few hours, just long enough to add
the death knell to the departing sea-
son and rob the trees of their summer

Jumps Up Nearly -Four Cents in New

New York, Oct. 19.-There was
great excitement in the wheat market
today attending a jump of nearly four
cents a bushel. Spectators for a de-
Cline were actuated by less favorable
Argentine news and a report that be-

PURIFIED Llr1 INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through tho influence of Gov.
Hughes. the New York Legislature de.
cidcd TO make no radical changes In
the new insurance law. II was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished widc
spread reforms with proportlonato
benefits TO policyholdcrs. and that II
should be given thorough trial be
fore any amendments were seriously
considered, II Is estimated that the
cost OF the mismanngomcnt " the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyhulder. while the benefits
20 present and future policyholders
will amount 10 many times moro and
be cumulative besides Tho speed
craze of tho big companies and the ex.
cessiyc cost Of securing new business
was the most oxtravagant evil OF the
old arrangements. Under the now
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced. along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society In its report
for 1906 was strong argument
against mcddllng with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving OF over t2.OOO.OOO In expenses,
besides an Increase In the income
from the Socloty'a assets amounting
20 as much more The ratios Of the
Equitablcs total expenses 10 its total
income was 1895 In 1904. 1885 In
1906. and only iiiScs In 1906. The
dividends paid TO Equitable policy
holders In 1906 amounted TO 81 .2s9. 73i
which was an Increase OF more than
90 over 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company
all reported radical economies aud un
dor such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided TO leave the law SUP
atantially as II stands.
