SECULAR SHOTS At THE PULPIT.

Baltimore American: One minister in
New York says that war is necessary and
another that the millennium is coming
And, concerning the truth of the matter,
the general public is about as far as ever
from either extreme.
Portland Oregonan: The pastor Of John
d. Rockefeller's church declared from the
pulpit that there are many men in this
country who are willing to PROSTATE them
selves and lick the backing from a rich
mans shoes just because he is rich" We
have been wondering whether the pastor is
Jealous or is only testing the proverb that
open confession is good for the soul.
Kansas City Star: While the great mass
Of humanity Is struggling with the problem
whether the soul survives the death of the
body West Side clergyman makes bold
declaration of his belief that the body may
live and continue active after the soul is
dead This is interesting and may even
be regarded as important, but it is not as
new or original as lots of other things that
have been sprung in Kansas
Baltimore News: A New York preacher
who married a divorced woman, in whose
trial he had been named as correspondent
and brought her to the parsonage, declared
himself surprised when the trustees and
elders told him to clear out, because he
himself had regarded his action as "a
browning proof of true Christian man
hood" But the time ls not yet when such
browning proof is thought to grace a pulpit
Philadelphia Record: DR.. Munhull told
the Methodist ministers that a man who
gave, $4,000 to a church object got no end
Of publicity in the religious and secular
papers. while man who contributed $1,000
souls was neglected Evidently the doctor
does not pay much attention to the church
papers or the dailies. If man wants to
buy publicity he has got to pay a great
deal more than $4,000; that is only
starter. He has got to go into the millions
to make much impression.

Eugene f. Ware
The charm OF love is it's telling, the telling
that goes with the giving;
The charm of a deed is its doing; the charm
of life is its living;
Tho soul of the thing is the thought; the
charm OF the act is the actor;
The soul of the fact is its truth, and the
-, now is its principal factor.
me world loves the Now AID the Nowist,
and tests all assumptions with vigor,
IL looks not behind II to failing, but for
ward to ardor and vigor;
II cares not for heroes VINO faltered, for
martyrs who hustled and recanted,
For pictures that never were painted, for
harvests that never were planted.
me world does not care for a fragrance
that never is lost in pertaining,
Inc world does not care for the blossoms
that wither away before blooming;
Inc world does not care for the chimes re-
naming unrung by the ringer,
Inc world does not care for the song UNI
sung in the soul of the singer
What use to mankind is a purpose that
- never shone forth in a doer?
what use has the world for loving that
-, never had winner nor wooer7
The motives, the hopes and the schemes
that have ended in idle conclusions,
Are buried along with the failure that
come in a life of illusions.
Away with the fiimsy idea that life with
past is attended; G
There's Now-only Now, and no Past
.. there's never a past; il has ended.
Away with its obsolete story, and all OF its
yesterday sorrow;
There's only today almost gone, and in
front of today stands tomorrow
And hopes that are quenchless are sent us
like loans from a generous lender
Enriching us all in our effects, yet making
no poorer the sender;
Tightening all Of our labors, and thrilling
us ever and ever
with the ecstasy of success and the rap
lures of present endeavor.

RussINs APPALLINa sIruArIoN.


Two statements from unquestioned
sources throw light upon conditions
in Russia which show that the car
and his imperial advisers are facing
problems more serious than those pro-
duced during the war with Japan when
Russia was meeting daily defeats in
the field and on the sea and was torn
by mutiny, treason and instructions
at home. DR.. Kennard, commissioner
of the Society of Friends, who was sent
to investigate the Russian famine,
writing from Samara, in the heart of
the famine district, appeals to the
United States and Great Britain to
send help. He says:
mo less than 100000 people cannot live
without aid to see another harvest and 1
may say that this figure has been not only
approved by the zemstvo, but also by the
government itself. The date of the har-
vest will be from July 3 to q new Style.
Funds viii be needed to the end Of July
to feed all these millions, and then the
harvest will bStng relief but there are
many hundreds of thousands to whom the
harvest will not bring relief, for they have
neither land or cattle.
The few cows in existence are i'm such
a pitiful condition that they are useless
for milking purposes. The result is that
babies and young children are being forced
to eat the coarse black bread and indigesti-
BILE young cucumbers.
THE people have sold their all and in
most cases have likewise sold in advance
all that the harvest might bring them.
They nave sold themselves and their work.
and from all over the southeastern prov
inces reports are coming in cf young
women and girls forced to prostitute them
selves TO procure food"
The other sidelight on the Russian
situation is furnished by a Russian
writer, A. Below, who furnishes figures
to show that the number of political
prisoners in Russia in 1906 exceeded
100000. Owing to the political con-
ditions in that unhappy country it is
more than probable that the number
of these political prisoners is much
greater now than in 1906. 1t would
be difficult to determine whether DR..
Kennard or Mr.. Below furnishes the
most striking picture of Russia's woes.
In the meantime the car is planning
the construction of battleships greater
than the Dreadnaughts of England and
Japan, without a thought, apparently,
of using any of the millions available
for military and naval purposes to nit
igate the famine horror among his sub
jects. America is responding gener-
ously to appeals for help for the relief
of the famine stricken in China and
doubtless will respond to the appeal |
of DR.. Kennard for the relief for the |
sufferers in Russia. The response would
be more cheerful and liberal If Russia |
showed any disposition to help herself |
and her own.

PUBLICITY FOR RAILROAD ACCIDENTS
The Railway Age, a publication
friendly to railway managers and often
used to present inspired articles on
railway topics, has taken an editorial
position on the subject of publicity in
connection with railway accidents that
is radically opposed to the policy long
persistently pursued by nearly all
the railroads of the country. The gem
eral practice has been for railway off,
cials to say as little as possible about
accidents on their lines, and the press
has always experienced great difficulty
in securing accurate and reliable in
formation of accidents, even when in
volving loss of life. The efforts of rail-
way officials have been almost invaria-
bly, to minimize the damage caused in
wrecks and to place the blame, If any
where, upon some obscure subordinate.
This policy of suppression has been
often carried to the extent of swearing
surgeons to secrecy concerning the
character of injuries and of discharg-
ing employees found guilty of giving
out any information relating to rail-
way accidents. The Railway Age, dis
cussing this subject, now says:
A policy, consistently and regularly fol-
lowed, Of publishing complete accounts Of
all accidents and their causes, should re-
suit in giving the general public a proper
idea Of the difficulties with which the rail
way managers have to contend in matters
Of discipline, and directing public censure
to the human agents to whose fallibility
the accidents are nearly all due. In addi-
tion such policy should assist in building
up for the railway and it's officers a repu-
tation for frankness, which is a most val
liable asset
How much of this changed attitude
may be due to the fact that there is
now a demand for a federal commits
sion to investigate and report upon
railway accidents can not be deter
but the fact that railway Off
cials are considering the advisability
Of full and prompt publicity concerning
railway accidents is another reassuring
evidence that the demand for correc-
ton of abuses in railway administra-
ton is being needed.

JAPAN 70 PASS
ON Immigrants
ONLY A FEW HUNDRED WILL BIZ
MONTH.

TOXIC, October PA delegate from
the Japanese residents of San Fran
cisco interviewed Foreign Minister
Hayashi today and fully explained
conditions in that city relative to the
prejudice existing against Japanese.
He pointed out that the feeling for
exclusion was directed against the I'M
desirable immigrant alone and that
American employers welcomed honest
Japanese laborers. He requested on
behalf of his compatriots that the For
eign Office permit the emigration of
900 honest emigrants monthly through
Seattle and San Francisco.
Minister Hayashi replied that at
present it was advisable to limit emf
grafton to half that number. He fur
Their assured the delegate that every
thing will be done to protect Japanese
interests and at the same time en-
phasized the Importance of stopping
tnything calculated to injure the ira
ditional friendship of both countries.
The Government would hereafter, he
said, supervise the kind of emigrants
allowed TO go out,
When questioned if measures had
been taken to secure the rights OF nat
uralization for Japanese, Minister Hay
ashi replied that, as a Minister of his
majesty's government, he will never
encourage the alienizing of his sub
iects, but will insist on securing for
Japanese rights equal to those granted
subjects of other powers.
Minister Hayashi, continuing, said
he hoped that after the return of M.
Ishii, the commissioner sent to Amer
lea to investigate the subject, and the
receipt Of his report, definite steps
would be taken to find solution of
the situation in an amicable and salts
factory manner.

RIVETERS' STRIKE WILL NECES-
STATE IMPORTATION OF MEN
FROM THE EAST.

VALLEJO, October 2S.-All hand
riveters employed on the transport
Sheridan at the Mare island yard have
struck, followed the refusal of Naval
Constructor Holden A. Evans to grant
a request that they be given piece
work at $12, SIS and $25 per hundred
rivets. The men have steadily opposed
the piece work schedule, and have
been working on a per diem wage.
During the past week the men have
done little more than half the work
they should have accomplished, it is
alleged. On Saturday they presented
claim for a change to piece work at
twice the scale adopted when the piece
work system was inaugurated. The
demand was refused, and half the men
quit. Sunday these persuaded the re-
naming riveters to walk out, although
many were opposed to the plan.
The situation has been telegrGpnec
to the Navy Department, and it is be-
lieved men will be rushed here from
the East. Navy-yard officials say work
will be delayed not more than three
weeks.

Will NOT ACCEPT
HEARST As ALLY
ROOSEVELT REFUSES TO GIVE HIS
APPROVAL TO THE NEW YORK
DEAL.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Every
attempt that has been made by the
friends of Herbert Parsons to obtain
an Endorsement of the New York fusion
ticket from President Roosevelt has
met with failure. 1t has been known
before this that Parsons aid not con-
suit the President prior to making the
Hearst deal.
Although Parsons or his friends may
keep on trying to obtain aid and coun-
tenance from Roosevelt for their fusion
with the Hearst element, they will not
get either. Hearst today Is just as
much the pet abomination of Roosevelt
as he was when the President asked
his Secretary of State to excoriate the
New York editor in a speech. or
course, Roosevelt cannot come out and
denounce the Parsons-Hearst alliance
publicly, but he has many ways of let
ting his views of the matter be known.
He is too good a politician to stand for
the unspeakable New York deal.
