A PRAYER.

Soul of our souls. Thou to whom
we turn for life and health, inspire
and quicken us, and by our worship
prepare us for our work. Give us a
steadfast spirit, heart ensiaved by
no appetite or passion, will guided
by wisdom and firm fo- the right.
Give power to work and power to
wait. mercifully look upon our in
firmities and those evils, which by
our frailty, our sin, or our ignorance
we have invited, turn from US.
Transform evil into good. Out Of
mortal weakness bring forth immor-
tai strength. May the fire purify.
and not consume; and, when we pass
through the rivers, may they not
overwhelm us. Stay with us from
dawn till eyentide. Should the way
be rough and gloomy, may we put
our hand in Thine, and, if we are
led out into the dark, still let us hold
fast by Thee, and cast away fear. In
the crush and clang of life, may a
blessed calm often visit us, telling
that a Holy Ghost has entered in,
and will not leave us till we bid Him
20. Amen.-P. E. Wizard.

ing things closely all the time. Then
he got into action. But one cannot
help asking what was the powerful an
esthetic that induced this long and pro-
found sleep on the part OF Jonathan
and his associates. Not certainly that
the law was unjust or unfair or not
needed. If so, how could he yaunt SO
much credit to himself and his col
leagues for their efforts in securing
the passage of this law? If this law
was unjust, unfair and not needed IN
1897, it was unjust, unfair and not
needed in 1906. This long delay in act
ing upon so important measure can
only be accounted for on the ground
that the railroads had the leaders OF
congress either hypnotized or terror
lied. i believe it was the latter. I be-
lieve the delay was too long and too
profound to be accounted for by cat
maps. 1 think rather that my friend
Jonathan was thoroughly awake and
keenly alive to the situation. I think
that as he looked back over the plains
of Iowa. he saw too many skulls and
cross bones that had been nailed on
the lintels of candidates by the rail-
road forces Of his beloved state. He
saw how many good men had been
stricken down by this great force; he
realized how few had been able to sur
yiye it's attacks. And cannot help
but believe that his own silence was
induced rather by the benumbing eff
fects Of fear than by the calm and
peaceful effects Of slumber. For there
is no one in Iowa that knows better
or appreciates more the power of that
force than does the Junior senator from
Iowa. If he had not comprehended 1t
in anticipation, he certainly understood
lit in realization. Less than two years
ago he was going over the state OF
Iowa, claiming that he had been
marked for slaughter by the railroad
forces because of his final action on
this great measure. Two years ago, he
was using the grand hailing sign OF
distress and asking if there was no help
for the Widows son that dared to dis
charge his duties to the public. he
was absolutely awake to the fact that
this force had marked him for defeat
for denomination and reelection to the
United States senate because he had
voted for this amendment to the inter-
state commerce law. He knows better
than anyone else how frightful was his
danger. and how narrow was his es-
cape. But while others were commend
ing him for his courage, he was cow
ardly devising plans for reinstatement.
Two years ago the people of this state
thought that Dolliver had really awak-
ened, but it seems that railroad SOM
nambulism has again taken hold OF
him. He is demonstrating to them
how long it takes to wake him up, and
how quickly he can again go to sleep.
1t seems that not even the big stick
however vigorously welded and Ell
fectively applied can arouse him to ac-
ton on the great reform pending be-
fore congress. and this seems to apply
to other members Of congress than the
distinguished senator

You will find the text fer my few re-
marks in the Eleventh Chapter, elev-
enth verse of ST. John. Our beloved
Lazarus sleepeth."
In my address at Fosters opera
house opening this campaign, l called
attention to the fact that in 1897 the
supreme court of the United States rem
dered ineffective the interstate COM
merce law by holding that the commits
sion had no power to fix railroad rates.
/ further called attention to the fact
that Notwithstanding the appeals OF the
interstate commerce commission, the
president, and the commercial interests
of the country for an amendment OF
this law, clearly granting the annullad
power that both Senator Dolliver and
his colleague had remained silent and
Indifferent for 9 years, and that 1T was
not until the wave of public opinion had
dashed against the capitol that they
awoke.
In his address from this platform,
Senator Dolliver entered the plea
known to lawyers as Confession ana
Avoidance" He admitted the silence
and claimed that he was asleep because
no one had tried to wake him up. He
insisted that there had been no public
demand for this law, and his attention
had not been called to it. To this
avoidance, l desire to direct few re-
marks.
Judge Prouty then quoted the rec
concentrations of the Interstate COM
merce commission to congress IN 1897
with the remark:
But our beloved Jonathan Sleep
eth and knoweth not:"
Again the report of The commission
in 1898 and again the report of 1899
with the remark:
"And still our beloved Jonathan
sleepeth.''
Again the report of 1900 and the
comment:
Our beloved Jonathan sleepeth.'
Again in 1901 and in 1902 saying,
''But even this appeal seemed insuffl-
cient to arouse our slumbering jon
athan."
Then he quotes from the commits
sion's report in 1903 urging rate regu-
lation and remarks:
"Our beloved Jonathan and his as
sociates still sleepeth.'
Continuing Judge Prouty said:
notwithstanding these repeated APP
peals from the interstate commerce
commission; Notwithstanding the APP
peals of the president; Notwithstanding
the appeals from the manufacturers,
agriculturists and shippers of this
1 country; Notwithstanding the memoir
ials of the state legislatures, including
| his own state; our beloved Jonathan
! declares that he was asleep; that he
heard no public demand for such law.
| 1t was not until Teddy had brought in
| to play his big stick, and had given
Jonathan a wallup over the abdomen
that he aroused up, and rubbing his
| eyes, INDUCED in the prevarication
common among napp'srs, that he had
mot been asleep at all. and was watch
