MAJOR LACEY.
(M:adrid Register News


The selection of Major Lacey as the
standpat candidate against Governor
Cunlmins for the senatorship, is es-
sentially just and proper.
Major Lacey is the creed and doc
trine Of THE standpatters persondtied.
With him aus candidate the issues
are clearly defined. 1t will be a battle
of issues. The voter will have no
hesitancy i'm knowing which one OF
the two men more clearly represents
his own ideas Of government.
There is not "a progressive In the
state who lis not pleased with the Sc
lection OF Major Lacey. With Cum
Minis and Lacey both in the field
there will be comparatively little
boiling on Legislative candidates.
Another pleasing thing about Major
Lacey's candidacy is THAT after his de-
feat-for he will be defeated = there
will be no more soreness than at pres
emit on the part of THE unsuccessful
candidate. Major Lacey is already
as sore as ii. is possible for one man
to become.

TAFT IN THE FLESH.

Iowa men who We're privileged ito
spend a day on the Taft special train
will always remember with pleasure
the opportunity thus afforded for a
brief personal acquaintance with the
next president of the United States.
Brief as this acquaintance necessar-
lily was it was sufficient to verify or
dispel preconceiyed notions as to the
man, and in after years as he becomes
the maker Of history for this great
nation, there will always be in The
minds OF these men an exact picture
OF the man in the White House at
Washington. Taft, himself, gained a
new view OF Iowa as he met and
faced the countless thousands Who
crowded around him, but Iowa, thru
the eyes OF those who saw him, will
always feel keener personal interest
in the president who is to coed
Roosevelt There is not q man who
was present at q Taft meeting who
now regrets his effort.
Taft In the flesh is very much the
same as Taft in the pictures. The
hugeness of body is there and the smile
has not been overestimated. He seems
to be overf1owing with good nature, yet
in every word and gesture he maintains
judicial poise and careful statement
which gives the impression Of much
reserve. It was very easy to see why
the boys at Yale in rs called him Big
BILL" and it was no wonder that it was
troversy to settle their disputes by
agreeing to leave it to Bill Taft The
first impression of a stranger is that
he is an eminently fair man to arbi-
trate any controversy, and so opesl of
;countenance and good natured as to
look the full part of absolute honesty.
Conversation was necessarily too
limited to give a man much of an in
sight into the learning and informal
| ton of this man Tart, but ms PUBIC
record has been one Of such great
works and his campaign addresses read
so lueidly upon the issues OF the day
/, that a visitors curiosity Is easily sat
isfied on that point. Secretary Taft
lis already one of the great men of thea
nation, even if he never becomes press
ident. Republican campaign orators
should remove their emphasis from the
Roosevelt policies which, the candi-
date is pledged to continue, and place
lit on the man of achievements and
upon the personality of Taft himself:
He is big enough for president i'll his
own name, and should have the busi-
ness Of the campaign so conducted.

Tolstoy on Death.

cbesterton on Christian Science.

Christian Science is the latest OBJ
ject Of attack by the most trenchant
champion of British orthodoxy-Mr.
G. X. Chesterton. Previous defenders
OF orthodoxy have made a mistake,
he thinks, in assailing Mrs. Eddy
rather than her doctrine. The custom
ary remark has been that ut is q
grand and pure philosophy preached,
perhaps, by unbalanced or unpleasant
people"
Mr. Chesterton, however, who has
never been guilty Of saying what other
people say, claims this opportunity also
to say exactly the opposite" This IS
how he says it:
81 say that christian Science ds a
mean and disgusting philosophy;
preached by people who are quite nice
preached, in fact. by many of my
personal friends. They are all right;
Lit is only their creed that COMES. from
hell. I use the phrase quite calmly
and quite literally. The doctrine that
pain and death are not real at all.
except in so far as their victims are
cowardly enough to submit to them,
is diabolical doctrine, obviously call
c,llated to produce all the purely dia-
bolical qualities such as intellectual
cruelty and contempt for the weak.
To tell any man that it is his own
fault that he has the toothache is to
cease to be a Christian while utter
ing eight words. If there is one thing
that is against the whole trend and
! tide of Christianity, it is any method
which permits the man called strong
to triumph over those whom he calls
weak minded. Christ came on earth
to smash the man who felt himself
strong. And he did in the most eff
fective and final manner smash the
man who felt himself strong; for he
opposed to him the God who felt HIM
self weak. Human beings hencefor-
ward were not to be Inundated by the
Limitations of pain and death; Tor
Diety itself has admitted them.
( christian Science says that pain Is
not a reality. Christianity says that
pain is so great a reality that even the
Creator could feel it. Christian Science
says that a man need mot think of
death at all. Christianity says that
even God thought of it with awe. And
the ethical results Of the two princi-
pies have been exactly what might have
been expected MARRIED by a million
other mistakes, betrayed and tortured
thru the agony of eighteen centuries,
Christianity has never lost its strong
est and most distinctive note.

Who made the inquiry that necessi-

Major John r. Lacey has been Sc

gress from the Sixth congressional
district, and was defeated two years
ago by a democrat. Lacey while in
congress was the most pronounced

He has been a most bitter enemy OF

cey has been opposed ITO tariff revision;

opposed statewide primary; and he
opposed the anti-pass law. It was thru

sent to the United States senate.
Whatever the result OF the repubh-
