PERSONAL MORALITY.
Leslie Willis sprasue.

The church has always been a great
power for personal morality. AS it
changes it's emphasis from theology to
ethics it is becoming more potent in
this direction. The church is inspiring
men and women with the idea of serv-
ice, and society is feeling the beneticent
result. Institutions which attempt
melorative work, such as temperance,
purity, charity and the like are GER
tainly arising out of the churches
But the truth is forced upon the
earnest student that while the church
is serving the needs of the personal
life in effective ways, while it is nobly
concerned with the task of social
ameioration, it is not concerned with
social reforms. 1t has no distinctive
and efficient ethics to offer society.
Every person and every organization
seeking social Righteousness is chal-
lenged by present needs to seek a
clearer discovery of the principles
which govern the relation of men and
classes in society. The Ethical So
ciety is committed to the search for
moral principles which shall be eff
fective in social organization, and to
the promotion OF civic and social
righteousness.

poor MEMS POLITICS.

All new laws are innovations and as
such are subjected to much criticism
which would be more friendly were the
real effect Of the laws fully understood
from experience. Most conspicuously is
this true as to lowa's statewide pri-
mary law. Already the charge has
been made by men from as high places
as a cabinet position that under this
law no man could run for the nomina-
ton for governor of Iowa without
spending 100000. and yet the two
men running are probably not worth
that sum in personal possessions both
together.
didacies. 1t has here .ofore been be-
lieved that as much as $4,000 has been
spent by one man in seeking pri-
mary nomination in Marshall county
under a voluntary local primary sys-
tenn, but already a prospective candi-
date has entered the lists for NOM
nation for a county office solely be-
cause under the legalized primary of
the new law he knows that a man can
NOT spend his first years salary run
ming for the nomination. The "heelers"
are cut out under the new law, as he
expressed it.
AS the new law works in actual
practice and as It's provisions become
more thoroughly understood 1t Will be
learned that it has been designed to
compel all candidates to appeal to the
intelligence of the vo.er. The manip-
ulation of interested and often selfish
leaders has been minimized. The mis-
representation and indirect sale of
votes by the paid worker has been
abolished The snap caucus and the
caucus packed on false representa-
zion of the real issue has been made a
thing of the past. American man
hood has been elevated to a position OF
commend over the individuals vote.

be made to tie intelligence of the voter

GarWin, Feb. 15-Since the order OF

passengers to ride on freight trains No.

public Heretofore the way trelghts
and passenger trains both east and

they don't care so much about taking
off the freight trains as they do about
their inability to go anywhere and get

train to start from Tama in the even

there would be two passenger trains

/ is not founded on any other basis ex-
cept one God, one infinite, and that in
finite divine Love. God is Spirit, and
they thnt worship him must worship In
truth. As revealed in Christian Science,
God is unconscious of matter, for if he
is Spirit, and All, he can not know
aught that would be the very unlike
ness of himself in quantity, quality,
and divinity.
Neg ect Of this, the real meaning
of Christianity resulted in a loss of the
power to heal the sick centuries ago,
and today also there are those who are
casting lots for Christ's seamless robe,
but by their failure to perceive the
oneness; of Spirit they also will lose
the truth of Christianity and thus be
unable to demonstrate it upon the di-
vine Principle which Jesus taught,
namely. one God, one infinite, hence
no matter. Christianity without this
essential science of Christian truth =
the, oneness of Spirits left without
tific demonstration thereof. In other
words, they who drop Spirit. as the one
and all Of Christianity, thereby lose the
demonstration of the power Of Spirit
thru Christ, to heal the sick and
cleanse the leper, to destroy sin, dis
ease and death.
Mrs. Eddy has shown that she
loves all that tends toward Chris
tianity; hence she loves Catholics and
Protestants Methodists, Congrega-
tional.sts, Baptists, Quakers, Shakers

THOSE. TlSSul: BALLOTS.

1t has been four years since the
famous primary in Des Moines at
which Judge Prouty was defeated for
the congressional nomination by Cap
tain Hull Dlring the turmoil of that
campaign a ballot of unusual form
was used by the committee in charge
which was called tissue ballot and
was charged up to Judge Prouty by
his opposition as being something
corrupt. So long as he remained in
private life Judge Prouty has said
nothing about the matter, but since
he has been campaigning in behalf of
the candidacy Of Governor Cummins,
against Senator Allison, the opposition
press has attacked him most bitterly
because OF the tissue ballot, with in
uendo and sheer, which charge him
with corruption. At Mason City Mr..
Prouty publicly defied any newspaper
to make specific It's charge against him
as to the tissue ballot and he promised
a law suit which would get at the
facts Not one has accepted the chal-
lenge, so the Judge has prepared his
own defense, and asks space in the
Times Republican for its publication.
His own statement follows:

the standpat papers of the state that 1
introduced a tissue ballot in my cam
paign against Captain Hull in 1904.
Whenever 1 have spoken for Governor
Cunmins and the progressive cause, I
have been assaulted by these papers
with this charge But I have kept
still. as I didn't want to inject any
thing personal to myself into these
campaigns But his matter has be-
come intolerable. l never had any
thing to do directly or indirectly with
the choosing of tie paper upon which
those ballots We're printed. I never
was consulted by anybody. They We're
ordered assume, by the county CEN
trail committee under the authority
conferred upon them by the primary
rules then in force. and no member
of the committee or anybody else ever
conferred with me In regard to the
matter, and I never gave any direc-
ton whatever concerning it to any
one. 7 never saw one of the ballots
or the paper on which it was printed
until one was given to me at the
voting precinct in which 7 lived.
7 make this statement for the ex-
press purpose Of notifying all the
standpat papers of this state that the
first one that again repeats this libel
will have to defend it in court, as I
will not longer endure this columnv.
S. F. PROTTY.
He then appenhs a letter from j. A.
Hall president of the Iowa Printing
Company at whose shop the ballots
were printed Mr.. Hall states that he
selected the paper stock on his own
motion without suggestion from either
Prouty or the committee. and that he
did so because he happened to have
a carload of it on hand for printing a
catalog for the Iowa Seed Company
His letter is as follows:

from it's beauty, that is the finger
watch's advantage; you look at it, and

Wrist or bracelet watches have
that advantage too, but with us they
are somehow regarded as effeminate

RELIGION and Health.

(Rev. W. A. Bartlett, d. d.
The church both in England and
America is giving special attention to
the subject of healing and health. IT
is possible of demonstration that
Christianity, pure and simple, can ac-
complish everything claimed by Chris
tan Science. Take, for instance,
mental diseases. We know from sta
tistics that many of the inmates of in
sane asylums are there as result OF
diseases induced by social sins, either
theirs or inherited. Christianity in
practice prohibits those sins, and a
regenerated spirit almost immediate
Nv shows itself in restored condition
of the body and mind provided it is
begun in time.
1t is a matter of demonstration that
the digestive organs, the blood. the
beating of the heart, the activity OF
sloth of the kidneys, the condition OF
the skin and the poise of the nervous
system, all depend on the calm of the
mind. Therefore an experience OF
Christianity is the corrective OF many
ills, both fancied and real.
