ACCURATE SERMON REPORTING.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: This is 10 express my apprecia-
tion of the admirable way in which the
sermon which l preached on Thanksglv-
ing Day was reported in your columns
1t was done by man evidently who was
able TO get at the underlying idea of the
discourse and who was not satisfied in
making casual and unrelated extracts
Newspaper reports of sermons are some
times a serious affiiction TO the men who
deliver them. c. H. PARKHURST.

Cannon Henson Tells canadians Tha,
Empire Is In Peril.


Addressing the Canadian club Of Vic.

Canon Henson OF Westminster abbey,
London, strongly urged the clergy OF
all denominations to preach the gospel
Of practical patriotism throughout. the
British empire, melting sacrifices ev-
erywhere in order that Britain may
procure as quickly as possible an eff
fcient army and navy capable of con-
tending with the powers masslng
against her. He regarded the present
agitation in England, he said, not as q
scare, but rather the prelude to great
national crisis.
England today is practically unarm.

son. Why should we alone among
the nations believe we can go on for
ever enjoying undisturbed the heritage
our fathers won for us? The empire
must for its continued existence be
sustained By new patriotism.

practically admitted that the Judgment
OF disbarment would prevent his APP
pearance In the courts Of record in the
state. but It was claimed that this duty
might be performed by deputy. The
court held, however, that the defendant
could not be allowed to dictate and
oversee this important part of the work
of his office while prohibited from per-
forming it in person. 1t was also al
legged that under the Constitution The
only qualification imposed was that the
states attorney should be Learned in
the law" and consequently need not
be an attorney at all. The court says
that the use of the word attorney" in
the title OF the office, states attorney
definitely indicates that the office
should only be filled by one regularly
admitted to practice in the courts, and
that the phrase learned in the law in
cludes an acquaintance with rules Of
conduct commonly known as legal
ethics" that, it having been judicially
determined that appellant had dis
obeyed this rules, it would be con-
clusively presumed that their violation
had been thru ignorance; and that,
therefore, the judgment of disbarment
practically decided that defendant WAS
certainly not learned in that branch
of the law.

bought nothing but the best land in the
state.
Nallace's warning is perfectly just,
whether there was present and insist
ent danger that the council might at
tempt to list all Iowa land as top and
worth the prices reported as note
worthy. There is no doubt that the
tendency is to accept Iowa farms as
the best farms and to raise assessment
values. And values should be con-
scientiously considered and assessments
that are too low be higher while such
as are too high should be lowered The

PAVING TROUBLES CEDAR RAPIDS.

The Marshalltown Times Republic
can has become a strenuous advocate
for concrete paving. Mason City is
now laying that sort of pavem ents
and it might be well to investigate
them. Marshalltown has had some
bitter experience with asphalt which
is now so badly in need of repairs
that they have filed the holes up
with cinders. Cedar Rapids has some
OF the same kind Of asphalt. On
Fifth avenue the paving is so badly
worn that il will soon become i'm
passahle.
The asphalt in Cedar Rapids was
laid under guarantee. What has be-
come of that guarantee and who is
the custodian of the bondo That paw
ing did not wear as we'll as promised.
It must have been rotten stuff when
1t was put in. We have heard that
the asphalt company swindled the
CITY in some Of the repairs. What is
being done about il Is thai paw e-nent
TO be total loss 10 the people and
to the city? If il goes on deteriorat-
ing II VIII be a nuisance in the street
IN a very short time. Who Is looking
after the repairing of II? What is the
status Of the case? Was the guaran-
tee no goodo Did somebody "ulislay"
the bond. or steal il? The public
ought TO have lot of information on
some OF these guaranteed pavements.
Cedar Rapids Republican.
Here is a new case in point of
which the T.-R. knew nothing before,
but it again emphasizes the necessity
of laying pavenents which can be
constructed and repaired by home la
Dor and simple material SO far as pos
sible. The cost Of maintenance is one
OF the important costs of a pavement
TO be considered. Patented pavea1ents
should be barred for this reason The
T.-R. must again call attention TO what
Grinnell is proposing TO do for the
cost of a patented bithuli.hic asphalt
compound pavement will exceed the
cost of Mason City's pavement by s21,-
30 per mile instead of 1880. as
published in this paper for the reason
that Grinnell now proposes TO lay a
pavement thirty-six feet wide on Broad
street instead Of thirty feet wide as
figured by the editor This would add
90 per cent to all Of the margins Of
difference named.
