CHURCH UNION IN SOUTH AFRICA

New countries, where habits are plas-
tic and traditions lose their force, COM
monty do what older nations merely
talk about. Here in America the Pro
testant denominations have long dis
cussed the waste of means and effort
which sectarianism implies, and think
wistfully of what church union might
accomplish. In South Africa, mean
while, unconditional union has be-
come an actual possibility.
Four "dissenting" bodies, the Pres
byterians, Methodists, Baptists n d
Congregationalists, have drawn up a
plan for consolidation into single
church, and creed to which all can
subscribe. AS must be the case, the
creed is short and simple. 1t avoids
dogmatic utterances ons points where
for the present, at least, latitude of be-
lief is essential, insisting rather on
the spirit than on the letter Of doctrine.
The differences in church government
are of course quite as great as those of
theological belief, but it seems reason
able to hope that they will prove more
easily reconciled. The final assent OF
the four churches has not yet been Civ
en-, but is confidently expected.
From such union would flow at once
increased usefulness in the social ser
vice which the church today is rightly
making one of it's corner-stones. There
must follow also animmediate strength
ening of the appeal of religion to the
souls of men, when the differences of
sect are laid aside, and the emphasis is
placed on the beliefs and ideals of life
which are common to all Christians, and
not on the lesser things that divide
them. The union, if accomplished,
will be watched with deep interest by
America. It's success would help ma
terially in bringing about the realiza-
ton of similar designs in this country

THE DUTY OF THE PRESS

The Hayward Record, defending it's
position in publishing all the details of
of a murder case in Minnesota, advan-
ces a good theory, but theories do not
always work out. The fact that the
principals in the case referred to were
we'll known in Hayward made the ac-
count of the murder of interest as a
matter of news. But to argue the
Records defense: The press should
publish the details of the evidence in
all criminal cases in order that, as the
Record says, ga warning is sounded for
those who, thoughtlessly or otherwise
are tending in the same downward
direction. And the printable and un-
printable record of the past year or
two in Hayward shows that there is
need of some forcible example to help
in elevating the ethics, morals and
ideals of the people,
Was it the eagerness of the people
to improve their morals that caused the
daily papers to print thousands of
extra copies daily to supply the demand
during the sensational Thaw trial? Was
it the desire of President Roosevelt to
lower the ethics of the people when he
tried to keep the sensational evidence
from being published? Following up
this idea, if the public press was entire
ly filled with the bad deeds of men, and
all good deeds eliminated land that
is about the condition of some dailies)
it would tend to improve the ideals
of the people. No; it is not So.
1t is such literature that creates a
depraved mind, and it is the depraved
mind that demands to be fed on such
literature. We have all been feeding
on husks for so long that as a nation
we have degenerate appetite. You
can t make child love cleanliness by
permitting it to play in the mud some
theorist might tell you that you can
but you'll find out differently If you try
it.

public gaze, especially if he has violated
some public trust, is generally benefi-
cial, but to give all the details of a
crime as they are brought out in the
evidence, too often inspires the weak
or ignorant mind to duplication OF
the crime. 1t is difficult to tell just
where to draw the line, but not so diff
cult for the country paper as for it's city
cousin.

SOLDIERS MORE COMMENTED.
improved Conditions Among the En-
listed Men in the Army.

improved Conditions Among the En-
listed Men in the Army.
There is a growing feeling of con-
tentment and satisfaction among the
enlisted men of the service. Within
the past weeks many old soldiers who
had taken their discharge from the
army after twenty or more years OF
service have re enlisted, while the dis
charges by purchase have very mate
rally decreased, having Of late been
confined almost exclusively to men
serving in the first and second year
of their first enlistment.
TIE improved conditions of the
service and it's increased attractive
ness are illustrated as far as the army
is concerned in the case of an old so'-
der who was drawing pension in the
CITY of Washington, and who was en-
ployed on the local police force, his
aggregate pension being about $50 a
month. This man has re-enlisted.
He had served about twenty-three
years, and two enlistments with al
lowance of double tine service in the
troDics would make him eligible for
retirement and as he had been as
sured in advance Of being made non
commissioned officer soon after his
new enlistment he has every reason
to count en- retire nent as a sergeant
or first sergeant within compare
lively short time Oh retired pay, with
com ~utation allowances, of about $54
a month

Fried Celery.

Did you ever eat celery that was
fried? Don't you think of it only as
and makes a most palatable sldedish.
Stalks of celery are cut into three
and four-inch lengths. One egg and a
tablespoonful of cold water are beat
en- together. The celery stalks are
first rolled in this and then in fine
crumbs
They are then sprinkled with lit
tie salt and pepper and again rolled
in the egg and fried in olive oil.
Grated cheese is sifted over the
stalks after taking them from the oil.
If you are in doubt some day as to
what to serve, try this.

tically all trains will be pulled by these
motors. The electric plants will be
run by natural water power. The rail-
road companies realize the value of the
swift streams, and by acquiring the
land taking in the banks of the rivers
they are sewing up the water power
which could have been utilized years
ago.
Secretary of the Interior Garfield
withheld the lands adjacent to the
rivers from public sale. His successor
has put them up for public entry again,
and the railroad companies have been
falling over one another to buy them at
ridiculously low figures.
''In all sections of the west where
the people appreciate the future mean
ing of this action on the part of the
railroads and corporations there is in
tense feeling"
Second only in Importance to the row
which it now engaging the attention of
Secretary Ballinger, of the Interior
Department, and Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester, will be the struggle in the in
terests of pure food waged by Govern
ment officials. 1t is expected that at
the annual convention of the Associa-
| ton of State and National Dairy and
Food Departments, to be held at Den
yer during the week of August "a, a
definite conclusion will be reached as to
what future course should be pursued
by the Federal experts.
The fight will revolve around benzo-
ate of soda. This chemical preserva-
tive was originally condemned by the
Board of Food and Drug Inspection,
and it's use was prohibited following
extensive experiments by Harvey w.
Wiley, chief chemist of the Department
of Agriculture The food manufacture
ers using benzoate of soda took an ap-
peal and the matter was referred to
the Remsen board, which reported af-
ter brief investigation that healthy
persons could eat, without injury, food
containing SINAI amounts of benzoate.
On the strength of this report the
National Food Commission, composed
of Secretaries Wilson, Strauss and Cor
telyou, ruled that manufacturers could
use limited quantities of benzoate of
soda provided they stated on their lab
els the percentage used.
| This decision aroused the antagonism
of the heads of food and health depart
ments of the various states, many of
which have laws prohibiting the use OF
benzoate as preservative, and com
mittee of eleven members of the asso-
citation has been making an investiga.
ton and preparing report to be sub
mitted to the Denver convention.
1t is believed the report will sustain
the contentious of DR.. Wiley and OPP
pose the findings of the Remsen board
DR.. Wiley plans to attend the meet
ing and to fight for vindication Of hi:
ruling that benzoate be prohibited
Members of the Remsen board also will
be present to oppose the arguments ad
vanced by the Governments chemist
President Taft has already been ap
pealed to to use his influence to have
benzoate barred as preservative, bu
it is probable that the Food Commits
sion will reverse itself if the convention
again goes on record in opposition to it

STATE AID FOR ROADS

ga Dollars Worth of Road for Every
Dollar of Tax" is the subject of an ar
ticle in LaFollette's Magazine by w.
O. Hotchkiss, chief of the Highway
Division of the Wisconsin Geological
and Natural History Survey. 1t is a
notorious fact tina t half the money spent
on roads is wasted, and as we are to
have state aid for road building in Wis

half that has been wasted. The article
cites that the farmer has turned over
to specialists the making of his shoes,
his candles, his clothes, his flour, even
his butter-things that his ancestors
made for themselves but he still in
sists on making his own roads. And
having made the road himself, he is

The residents of east Lake avenue
who have become imbued with the
"city beautiful idea, are expressing
their dislike of the perpetual winter
view" of the court house, the north
side of which is partially hidden the
year round by huge piles of wood. They
contend that the county could just as
we'll contract it's fuel supply and let it
remain in the woods until needed-at
least not have it piled about the build
ing all summer. 1t is claimed that the
county saves some money and is assur-
ed of a supply of dry wood by this
method. 1t is probable that the Wo-
mans Club will have petition present
ed to the next session os the county
board.

DEATH is PAINLESS.
Cores as Naturally and Is as Wei.
come aS SIeeu

Cores as Naturally and Is as Wei
come IS Sleep.
The fear of DEATH which has been
0 er orm ously exploited in dramatic
nTatuje, sacred and otherwise, is
30 TO be almost without existence
il sickness. Most patients have lost
completely by the time they become
c":o@sly ILL.,
Eeath andssleep are both painless,
or ing to Dr. Woods Hutchinson
N the American Magazine, and cause
either fear nor anxiety by their ap-
rroach. 1t is one of the most merci-
ful thirgs in nature that the over
"he'ming majority of the poisons
y hich destroy life. whether they are
those of infectious diseases or those
v hich ere elaborated from the body's
own waste products, act as narcotics
I'd abolish consciousness long before
The end cones.
While death is not in any sense
analogous to sleep, 1t resembles it
to the extent that it is in the vast
majority of instances not only not
painful but welcome. Pain racked
and fever scorched patients long for
death as the wearied toiler longs for
sleep.
While many of the processes which
lead to death are painful death itself
is painless, natural, like the fading
of a flower or the falling of a leaf.
Our dear ones drift out on the ebbing
t.ide of life without fear, without pain,
without regret, save for those they
leave behind. When death comes close
enough so that we can see the eyes
behind the mask his face becomes is
welcome as that of his twin brother,
sleep.
