PIONEER PREACHERS.

Many pioneer preachers We're highly
resourceful and employed their talents
in a variety of ways. The conditions
under which they lived made it nee
essary for them to add to their meager
incomes by turning their hands TO
whatever they could find to do. In
Robert Collyer's Augustus Conant,
Illinois Pioneer and Preacher" the
author quotes from Conant's diary as
follows:
May 2. Wrote sermon.
May 3. Sunday Wrote poetry
May A. Made shelves and split
rails.
June g. Made a table. and borrow
ed six bushels of potatoes to be paid
back with interest in the fall.
Made a coffin for H. Dougherty
Dressed pig and calves torn by
wolves. Dug a well
"Unwell. and so studied algebra
Made sun-dial.
Unwell, SO wrote temperance adj
dress.
Temperance meeting; deliver
cred my address.
"13. Got my GRAFTON published. and
paid for
Made plan of sermon on the
progidal son. pair of quilting frames.
and an argument at the Lyceum
against capital punishment.
Read the Methodist Disciple.
Helped my wife to wash.
Finished sermon. Made soap"
II is evident from this record that
the occupation OF the pionee- preach
er was indeed varied industry But
who shall say that his sermons were
any less edifying because he found it
necessary to make soap. shelves, quilt
ing frames and tables, dig wells. dress
pigs. study algebra and help his wife
to wash? We call upon all the read
ers Of The Gate City to bear witness
that there is no suggestion in this
that some present day minister would
do well to make more such things and
preach less. Perish any such thought!

OUR Ex.PREsIpENTs.

President Roosevelt has sensibly ex-
pressed himself concerning the Ques-
ton as to what we shall do with on,
ex-Presidents To newspaper cores
pendent, to whom he declared that af-
ter March next he would be simply
private citizen and that he woulo
not seek to influence the Taft admin
istration in any way or give any ad'
vice whatever unless such should be
asked of him. he said
And tell the country that those who
have been worrying about what to do
for our ex-Presidents need not worry
as to what they should do for this ex-
President He is able to take care of
himself. During the time he has leen
in the White House he has had fine
time, and he is going TO continue to
enjoy life. AS l said, he is able to
take care of himself and there need be
no worry as to what to do for this
ex-President'
This expression is properly declared
by the Cedar Rapids Gazette to be in
harmony with the best sentiment upon
the subject. A man who has been
able to win the presidency may be
relied upon 10 take care of himself
after leaving it. The Gazette adds:
There is no likelihood that a man
who has been real power in the pres
idency viii lose his high station in the
public esteem. Neither is it possible
for him TO be paced in position we
the fruits OF his ripe experience would
be lost to the nation Avenues are
open to our ex-presidents which are
profitable to pursue. and they are such
as bring no loss of personal dignity.
Mr.. Cleveland's life after leaving the
presidency was almost ideal. and the
influence he exerted was. as one
writer expressed it, as strong a latent
force for good as there was in the ma
ton When circumstances required.
Mr. Cleveland spoke out and good fol-
lowed his every public utterance He
died in the fullness of time with IN
ors thick upon him and having the re-
spect of his fellow men in degree
remarkable in view of the strife which
marked his second administration Mr.
Roosevelt has spoken wisely The
question which he has touched upon
may we'll be dropped

FAULTS IN OUR BATTLEsHlps.

At last the official summary of the
proceedings and results OF the New
port Conference. prepared by the
general board of the navy by direction
Of the President, has been given out,
after the appearance of several un-
official reports. On the whole the Of
fetal summary shows that the con
ference was vindication of the crit
icisms of the design of the new battle
ship North Dakota which were made
10 the President last June by Com
mander Key. The conference was
agreed that the fye-inch casemate
armor is Inadequate and that on future
vessels the eight-inch casemate
should be used Also 1t was recon-
mended that the torpedo defense guns
be placed higher In future The loca-
ton of one Of the magazines between
engine and fire rooms was disapprov-
ed, and this defect In the ships now
planned will be overcome by refrig-
Grafton. AS to the water-line armor
the conference refused to follow the
suggestions OF Key that II be raised
on the North Dakota, but ruled that
It was undesirable and inexpedient'
TO discuss the position of the armor
belt on the ships now afloat To avoid
delay in the construction of the Utah
and Florida those battle ships are to

Hitcheock. the peservina.

Waterloo Courier: The appoint
ment of Frank Hitchcock to the post
master generalship was not sur
prise to anyone. In fact il was the
obvious and only expected move in
regard to the case. This position in
the cabinet is peculiarly important
one at this time in view of the addi
tons to the functions of the depart
ment now contemplated.
The postal savings bank and par
GELS post are both ripe issues; thus
the postmaster general of the near
future will be the greatest expressman
and greatest banker, considering
amounts of money, in the world.
That Taft picked we'll is the gen
eral sentiment of the country. Hitch
cock has been through the mill and
proven his mettle. His first govern
ment position was that of a humble
biologist in the department OF agri
culture. There he acquired the sys-
tematic methods and scientific exact
ness that later distinguished him in
larger trusts. He served as chief
clerk in the department of commerce
and labor and later was publicly
known as assistant chairman of the
Republican national committee.
Frank Hitchcock is the antithesis OF
tician. He is shy young man in
the forties. His most pronounced char
acteristics are capacity for and appli.
cation to work and attention to detail.
He is so thorough and methodical that
he Is called the card index official.
Like most quiet people he has great
capacity for absorbing what he hears.
He will seem to have forgotten word
OF advice, but when the occasion calls
for the use Of 1t, 1t is promptly on
deck and in service.
With these qualities OF character.
with this experience In departmental
work, with the record to his credit of
having successfully and honestly man.
