Young Men Who "Went West"

Two of our former young business
men are entering into a business enter
prise in Des Moines, Ia, which is to be
the largest institution of its kind in the
west and called the Marshall Field
store of Iowa. The Des Moines Depart
ment store of which Clinton R. Carpenter
is general manager, and James M. Cush-
man is secretary, is to be opened early
in August, and its development will add
200 families to the population of the city.
Of these young men the Des Moines Daily
Tribune says:
Clinton r. Carpenter, the general
manager, is young man of engaging
manner clean cut, alert, keen and whole
some. He radiates a tranquil force,
quiet, firm, but withal, kindly. A close
| observer of men would detect i'll his
ensemble one accustomed to command,
not by loud acclaim, but by the force of
kindly, but compelling personality.
| Mr.. Carpenter brings to the company
the determining factor of extended prac-
teal experience in directing department
store business. For a number of years
he occupied responsible executive posi-
ton with the X. H. White company OF
Boston, the largest department store in
New England. Later he was rendered
and accepted place in the great de-
partment store of John Wanamaker in
New York city. He remained with the
Wanamaker company for several years.
Mr.. Carpenters ability, energy, origi
nality and practical knowledge OF
department store methods are conceded
by men of emience in commercial circles.
His capacity for successfully handling
work requiring accurate judgment and
competent executive control has beer
exempted in fields where the test
was severe.
James M. Cushman, secretary of the
Des Moines Department Store company
is an accomplished accountant. He has
been resident of Des Moines for years
For several years he was at the head o
the accounting department of an exten
sive dry goods establishment in thu
east. His experience will permit him tt
discharge the duties of his responsible
office in manner that can but assur
6 accuracy.
Their friends in the east can hearth,
endorse their enterprise and business
! ability, and wish for them the best O
success in this great undertaking.

Mortified Summer Conferences.

Plans for the twenty-ffth season OF the
Mortified Conferences and Summer
Schools are already nearing completion.
Four separate conferences and two sum-
mer schools are scheduled, in addition to
the work in the two Mortified schools,
whose commandments have always
attracted many friends and former
students During the summer session at
Mount Hermon, particular stress will be
laid upon the Bible Study courses, given
bv such men as Prof H. B. Wright OF
Yale, Rev. F. B. eyer and DR.. G. Camp
bell Morgan of England. A new de-
parture will be the classes in Y. NC. A.
work led by Prof. James McConaughy,
A. E. Roberts, and other able teachers.
Rev. F. B. Meyer recently so promi-
nent in educational controversies in
England and one whose religious books
have worldwide circulation, will hold
morning Bible classes and address the
Conferences during July.
Mr.. w. r. Moody also announces that
DR.. R. A. Torrey and Mr.. Charles M.
Alexander, the two prominent figures i'll
the great revivals in Australia Great
Britain and America, will be present dur
ing the August Conference. DR.. G.Camp-
bell Morgan, who to be one of the lead
ing speakers at the Worlds Sunday
School Conference in Rome, will also
arrive at Mortified in August.
The first of the gatherings, the
Students Conference, June % to July Z,
has always been largely attended by
Young men from nearly every eastern
college, the number of delegates last year
being nearly a thousand. Yale, who
held a separate conference last season,
will again be in line with large delega-
ton. During the afternoons the inter-
collegiate ball games and the tennis tour
nament furnish recreation for participant
and observer. On the Fourth, with
the speeches, the college yells and the
gigantic, bonfire the excitement runs
high, but always keeping within the
bounds of the expression of true
patriotism. From July to 10 young
women will take the place of the college
boys. Following their conference come
the two summer schools, one to teach
practical Sunday school methods, from
Iulv 20 to 81, and the other for the
Women's Missionary Societies of the
United States and Canada, July % to 30.
During August, from the I'd to the 18th,
comes the General Conference for Chris
tan Workers, established by D. l.,
Moody. 1t attracts immense crowds
from every state in the Union and from
England, in addition to being rallying
ground for missionaries. During the
following month the Post Conference
addresses and the series of lectures at the
Mortified schools, with their op
portunities for closer study, will hold
many of the summer visitors.
A partial list OF the leading speakers
for the summer follows: Mr.. Robert E
Speer, Rt. Rev. William Lawrence, Mr.
John r. Mott, Rev. F. B. Meyer, Mis-:
Margaret slattery Rev. GA; R. Janvier
Rev. Henry Sloane Coffin, Rev. R. A

Another of the larger churches in the
state has not found it necessary to go
outside in search of a pastor. On the
other hand two of our younger pastors
have been called to larger fields outside
the state. 1t is encouraging to note that
the larger churches both within the state
and without find that we have promis-
ing men in training, that our churches
give them such opportunities as to
develop them, and that for them as we'll

service here are proftable.-[Vermont

PRESS COMMENT.
Presidents fuckers Great Work.

1t is misfortune for Dartmouth col
lege that DR.. William ]. fuckers i'll
health has forced him to resign the presi-
dency of that institution, while it is
fortunate for the college and the cause of
education that after his retirement DR..
Tucker plans to remain in Hanover and
to fill lectureship on "The formation
and expression of public opinion in a
democracy" President Tucker has per-
formed great work for Dartmouth and
he came at time in the history of the
college when the confidence which such
man could inspire and the uplift he could
give were sore1y needed. The college has
since greatly prospered and her broaden
ing future is assured. 1t is well that the
vital personal impulse of DR.. Tucker is
not to be wholly lost, and the wish for
the speedy improvement in his health
will be general. The cause of democracy
in it's broad sense should be still further
served by DR.. Tucker in the college and
eyond.-[Springfeld Republican.
