bad humor with the English having

Carlisle a notice Offering a reward of
$3.50 to any one who would volunteer
for the unpopular task of hanging
a condemned criminal. Seeing his
chance to make up for his bad mar
ket and comforting himself with the
thought that he was unknown there,
he did the job and got his fee. AS he

The Danger Of Indifference.

A Denver minister of the Gospel who
actively engaged in church work, and
the large number of men who do not
go to church at all, devoted part Of
his time for two weeks to a personal
canvass of 100 men. The minister
asked each one of these men to tell
him whether or not he went to church
and if not, the reason why he stayed
at home. OF the 100 men interviewed
IS stated their belief in Christianity
and in the good derived from church
attendance OF the other five, two
were infidels. two saw no good in the
He found that 81 of the 100 registered
as church goers; of the other 43 a
large proportion stated that they were
compelled to remain at their daily
work; others said they were engrosse1
in other things; few did not go be-
cause the church, they said. was al
ways asking men to give, and one or
two said that they stayed at home be-
cause the church was supported by rich
men and that the minister was the
tool of the rich men of the congrega-
ton.
1t is very probable that if Maine
pastor interviewed 100 men he would
get these same answers, and as many
more reasons why men do not go to
church. The principal reason and the
one recognized by most ministers of
the gospel is the Indifference of men 20
religious things. Men who have de-
voted all their energy to their bust
ness through six days of the week
and who have not been taught by their
are more likely to follow the line Of
least resistance in planning their one
day of recreation. The root of the
evil seems to be that parents do not
send their children to church regularly
so that the habit of church going is
not firmly established before men
reach the age when they are free to
follow their own inclination.
Thus a generation of nom church,
going men and women begets a
generation of nom church. going chill
dren, and the evil is more likely to
spread then to be stamped out. 1t is
indeed serious matter and it is only
lately that ministers have been giving
it the attention it deserves. For the
successful conquest of the new world,
the founding of this nation and the
peace and prosperity which have been
given to us we are indebted to the
Godfearing men and women who went

The Possible Tariff War.

There is serious danger that the
French government will apply max
| imuln tariff on all American goods af-
| ter November LIST. Such action on the

and for five months we would not have
the power to enforce retaliatory meas

gress trade agreements with France,

rogated on the last day of this month
Those with England and Germany on
February and those with Italy, Spain
and the Netherlands on August 6. 1910.
The imports from November LIST to
March 81, 1910 will be dutiable at the
rates imposed by the Payne Law but
the United States will not he able to
strike back through the maximum
clauses if such a course becomes nee
essary, until next April. There will be
no need of increasing the Payne rates
% per cent. at that time if American
agricultural, manufactured and other
products are admitted by France on
fair LASTS.
AT the present time all Of the coun-
tries Of the world except the United
States have the benefit of the French
minimum tariff law, and since the
enactment of the Payne law the state
department has been negotiating with
France with a view Of having Ameri-
can products admitted on the same
ground. 1t is understood that these
negotiations have been fruitless up to
this time.
In case France saw fit to impose
maximum duties it would enjoy an adj
vantage for five months which would
be difficult to overcome except through
rigid enforcement of the pure food
law relating to the adulteration and
misbrand.ng of wines. 1t is admitted
that a rigid examination of all French
wines would very probably result in a
serious blow to the French wine impor-
tcrs. If This campaign is decided upon
the Payne law does not apply until
March 31st of next year would not
leave us defenceless.
The officials IF the treasury depart
ment as well as every one else in any
way interested hope that the French
government will hot attempt to dis
eliminate against America. The tar

the admission of American goods and
the advantages of the minimum French
tariff would greatly enhance tine trade
of the two nations. A % per cent. in
crease in the duties would be prohibit
tive on many articles now imported
and would make serious inroads upon
the vast sum of money we send to
France annually.
Between January LIST and August 1st
1909 America has bought goods from
France to the value of $7S,700,000 an
average of $11,OOOOOO per month. In
the same time we have sold France
goods valued at s59OOO,OO0 an average
Of sS50O,O00 per month. These figures
indicate the tremendous loss to both
countries which would follow COM
