CALIFORNIA ARCHITECTURE.

One glance at the long low corridor
OF Santa Barbara Mission, of San Ju-
an Capistrano; another at the solid
adobe walls of such a house as the
old Morris residence in Los Angeles;
and you know where the modern
American California found the mod
els upon which she has based many
of her most beautiful buildings. If
the Mission Fathers from Spain had
not built their missions on that coast;
If their followers had not built their
adobe houses surrounding the mis-
sions, the Californian of today would
have a different style of architecture.

Theology to Sociology.

(keV "A. EuSene Baftlettl
We may be hopeful today concerning
the church because she is changing her
emphasis from theology to sociology.
We are finding out that we cannot
really know God unless we are ac-
quainted with the needs of His OFF,
spring. The church of today is less So
licitous about the crowns of The next
life and more anxious I'd help men with
their crosses in this life. There is new
hope for the church by reason of a
newborn interest of the ministers of
the church in the perplexing problems
of the city and the nation. Nonparti-
san politics is now considered a legt-
innate theme for the pulpit. regret.
however, that we have some ministers
who, in their impatienee to solve all
the problems now, rush into their pull
pits and into the public prints before
they know the facts. The cause of
Righteousness will be better served
when ministers make sure of their facts
before bringing forward imprisoned
opinions.

POINTS OUT AN INJUSTICE.

see the T.-R. not long ago, was
giving great praise to some Of the
speakers Mt our corn school here for
advancing the idea that it would be, a
great thing for each land owner to get
}c.rt with his King drag when the roads
ne ed smoothing down and go over
mat portion that abuts his land, and
I believe the paper stated that the
speaker said he had done this all the
tirne the last few years. Issimply wished
to show you what an unjust thing this
would be If it was enacted into law.
We have widow woman living here
adjoining town, Mrs. Palmer, who owns
thirty seven acres of land with the
road on three sides of her, making her
work three quarters of a mile of road
ard owning thirty seven acres of land.
l will now take the place where John
H. Leonard lives With over 900 acres
Of land and only one mile of road
abutting it. I also call attention to the
pl;lce of Thomas Swearingen. with
something like four hundred acres of
land and only three-quarters of a mile
of road. could go all over the coun-
try in the same way. Would this be
dong justice to the widow woman?
Some few years ago the legislature

Attack on Christian Science.

Christian Science was violently at
tackled at hearing before the legisla-
tive committee on registration of per-
sons practicing the healing arts. Fred
erick w. Peabody conducted the case
of those who object to the registration
of Christian Scientists as healers.
1T is cruel. dangerous and barbarous
to take suffering children and make no
attempt to alleviate their pain beyond
a. declaration that there is no pain"
said Mr. Peabody in opening his case.
s"There are 500 Christian Science heal
ers in the state. If they treat.an av-
erage of five cases day, more than a
million cases are treated annually"
Edward H. Adams, a regular physi-
elan, was called to testify. He said he
wished to speak from personal knowl-
edge of this cult. He considered that
no halfway measures should be TAX
en-, as Christian Science. when applied
to children, is nothing less than muir

4 GAME OF BLUFF.

Two men who should be working to-
gether are pulling by jerks in Shen-
andoafl. The mayor and minister of
standing and influence are bluffing each
other over the conditions in their town
and the ways and means of cleaning
up. The mayor is express agent and
I handles many c. O.. D. whisky ship
ments. The preacher complains that
the mayor fails to enforce the laws and
i ordinances against public drunkenness
and breach of the, peace. At this the
mayor sent the minister an appoint
ment as, city marshal and told him to
make good as official cleaner up of
the city. The minister saw the bet and
raised 1t by demanding six deputies of
his own selection and a guaranty of
ten days service The mayor is count
ing his chips.
All this savors much Of boys play.
From all accounts the mayor is pref
ty good mayor and Shenandoah a fairly
ven governed town The minister is
probably sincere and has grounds for
his statements that drunkenness in the
alleys and on the streets is too COM
mon. They ought to get together The
mayor should enforce the ordinances
and the preacher should help him. In
stead of attempting to nullify and dis
credit each other they should join
forces to improve conditions The cir
curnstance that the mayor is an ex-
press agent has nothing more to do
with the case than that the other man
is / minister. Neither office relieves

tu,RA OPINIONS AND NOTES

The .Odebolt Chronicle advises the
legislature to "let the present road law
alone. 1t is working well and there is
no general demand for a change. The
true test is the condition of the roads:
and everyone knows that they have
been improved under the operation of
the present statute"
The members Of congress who have
advanced their pay from 500 per week
to $3.50 are not worth half as much to
the people of the United States as the
rural carrier who is serving the public
for the paltry sum Of s12 per week, ;
declares the Grundy County Republic
can. The idea Of a big fat congress-
man lolling in idleness and luxury at
$50 per day while the man who carries
the mail faces the icy blasts OF winter
and the scorching rays of the summer
sun at the paltry salary of 50 per day
and out of that he has to keep three
horses, besides himself. is too great an
evidence of the inequality of things to
make pleasant reading to the average
American"
The Newton Record does not want to
see the Iowa legislature go to an ex-
IRENE in the matter of railroad regu-
lation. One or two we'll considered
