On Oct. u, 1908, Mrs. A. Cutler. OF
Battle Creek, Michigan, said OF Hyo-
mel pronounced High-o-me) the no
cure, no pay catarrh cure:
I'VE have praised Hyomei during
the past four years for the reason that
it cured Mr.. Cutler of catarrh in 1904.
Mr.. Cutler strongly endorses Hyo-
mel"
Hyomei is the only sensible remedy
for catarrh because it is soothing
antiseptic air that when breathed into
the lungs reaches every spot where
catarrh germs flourish and promptly
kills them.
It's record of cures is SO wonderful
that Wilkinson & Co. guarantee Hyo

DR.. Newcomb, who was the next
speaker, did not believe that the lay

not believe that it was up to the lay
men to bring any great wisdom to
the problem, for what does the bust
ness man know about the finances of
the church? The preacher is left to
work out his own finances in almost
every instance. We do not need the

The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted as the Missionary
policy for Iowa: /. That we recog-
nize it to be the present urgent duty
of the Church of Christ to undertake
to preach the gospel to every crea-
ture in the world
2. That we rejoice that the Laymen
of all the churches in the United
States are rising up in large numbers,
to cooperate with their pastors ana
missionary boards in the attempt TO
evangelize the world in this genera
ton.
2 That we unite our efforts and
prayers from this day forward In a
persistent attempt to enlist the chris
tian men of the state of Iowa in un-
| dertaking their full proportion OF
world responsibility, Layme- as well
as ministers recognizing their re-
sponsibilty for the advocacy of an
adequate missionary policy.
a. That we recommend the appoint
ment of a strong missionary commit
tee in every congregation Whlch shaii
conduct campaign of education on
the subject of missions to be followed
Immediately by personal canvass OF
every member and adherent OF the
congregation, for some worthy sys.
tematic contribution to the cause of
world evangelizatfon.
5. That we urge the adoption OF
the weekly system of missionary Of
ferings. as the most scriptural, fair,
economical and productive method,
believing that when properly intro
duced and worked, it secures the lars-
est educational, financial and spiritual
results.
6. That this convention calls upon
the Christian men of Iowa to recog'
nize their sacred stewardship of time
influence ability and possessions. and
earnestly urges that men devote at
least one-tenth of their income to the
work of the church, and we further
, recommend that at least % per cent OF
his total amount, be devoted to the
snread of Christs kingdom In the
, non-christian world.
7. That we recommend that nc
congregation rest content with less
than the average contribution to this
cause which is asked Of the church OF
rist as a whole in order to evange
, lie the world viz: $3.50 per member
, per YEAR or approximately five cents
a week. but we also recommend thai
churches generally attempt to give al
average OF $4,000 per member pei
wear, to make up for others that may
b. delinquent
8. That we recommend the organ
, ization in every city, town and com
, munity, of cooperating committee
of the Laymens Missionary Move
! ment. which shall keep in touch witt
. the methods of the general 7 'yement
/ and cooperate with all individual

the organized thieves and gangs OF pro-
fessionaI election repeaters. In short.
Tammany control of the police means
municipal rottenness in every particular.
The new commissioner is quoted as de-
claring that there will be no "wide-open
town. He disclaims friendship for Nc
Carren and promises an independent ad-
ministration. Silence would have become
him better. He goes into Office with the
stigma of succession to man whose
honesty is the sole cause of his removal.
The fact that he failed to suppress gam
bling in Brooklyn after Commissioner
Bingham had positively directed him to
close the flagrantly open dives does not
promise any particular degree of vigor or
skill in his administration over the en-
tire department.
1t is impossible to foretell what effect
these changes will have upon the New
York mayoralty campaign. 1t is idle to
assert that the renewal of corruption and
unlimited Tammany control of the police
will SO disgust the people of New York
that they will elect reform ticket. New
York needs no additional demonstration
of Tammany corruption. 1t is patient to
the point of supineness. Nothing less
than a cataclysm infinitely greater than
a mere change in the police commissioner
science and arouse the city's good sense
to the point of throwing over the corrupt
gang that now has control.

Wire Perils.

Washngton's advantage in having prac-
tically all the high power electric wires
under ground is occasionally demon
strated by accidents that occur in other
cities as result of the cheap and
nasty method Of overhead conduction, to
employ a phrase which will be well re-
membered by those who followed The
Stars campaign for wire burial in the
District some years ago. For instance,
the other day in East New York. one Of
the sections Of Brooklyn. highly charged
electric light wire came in contact with
a wooden pole after a storm, and a blaze
was started. man living nearby seized
q tin bucket of water and ran to extin-
guish the flames. He threw the water on
the fire and fell dead. the electric current
having passed through the water and the
bucket into his body. This is phenon,-
enon which figures occasionally in the
news items. Water is. Of course, per-

Bingham's Removal.

Commissioner Bingham's removal from
office in New York city came promptly,
as was expected, and now the big town
is supplied with a new sensation and ma
terial for unlimited speculation. That the
removal was for political and not for ad-
ministrative reasons Is taken for granted
There was nothing In the situation in
trinsfcally to warrant so sweeping a re-
buke of the police commissioner as that
which the mayor delivered. Plainly the
commissioner could not remain in Office
with any degree of self-respec, after the
force and even to dismiss his private Sec
retary. Nor could he be expected to re-
sign, thus acknowledging the mayor s
right. Similarly, there was no alterna-
tive for the mayor, when the commits
sioner refused to accede to his COM
mands. but 10 remove him. There can b.
no question that the whole program was
in contemplation when the mayor issued
his orders. and the conclusion is inevita-
BILE that he wished to replace Bingham
with a more subservient political agent
and lacked the courage to remove him on
direc, charges.
The prediction is now made freely that
under the new commissioner New York
viii be a wide-open town. He is ac-
credited with both administrative weak
ness and undue friendship for the McCar-
rem machine In Brooklyn. Just at present
there is coalition between the McCar~
rem and Mcclellan forces. On the New
York side the Sulivans are behind the
mayor. In fact, as the situation now
stands Tarnmany dominates the police
headquarters. as 1t always wishes to do
and usually succeeds in doing. Tammany
control of the police means only one
thing~corruption from top to bottom. 1t
means graft large and small, pickings
from the lawbreakers. from the vicious
classes, from the sellers OF forbidden mer-
chandise. from the gamblers. the thugs

Public Baths Needed.

The opening OF the bathing beach yes
terday was such a success in point of
attracting bathers that the demonstra-
tion of the need of such an establishment
was complete. Yet no such demonstra-
tion was necessary. AS The Star has
said several times, Washington's equip
ment in this respect Is deficient. In ad-
dftion to the one bathing beach. whatever
its facilities for taking care of all comers,
there should be series of public baths
along the water front at intervals Of a
few squares. These baths should furnish
accommodations for women and girls as
well as men and boys Alongside of the
wharves should be mOored floating pa
vilions, each with dressing room accom-
should be competent attendants and in
structors at these places, not merely to
provide for the comfort of the public, but
to teach those to swim who have not al
ready that accomplishment.
II is today virtually impossible for a
young girl living in Washington to learn
10 swim unless she is taken by her parents
during the summer to a resort where
there are bathing facilities. 1t Is per-
haps due to this fact that each summer
the city suffers the loss Of several young
women by drowning. The girls Of Wash
ington are worse off in this respect than
those of virtually all other cities, q fact
that is by no means to the credit OF the
capital.

Mosquito Problem.
From the Newark Star.

What was done on the Isthmus of Pan
anna can be as effectively done In New
Jersey for the extirpation of the mosquito.
The state is the only power than can do
the work and should set about 1t in earn
est. The isthmus was notoriously the
most unhealthy region in the world until
American engineers undertook to conquer
its bad name They ascertained that the
mosquito was the conveyer of the ma
laria and yellow fever that had carried off
thousands OF human beings. So they at
tackled the insect in his lair. They de-
stroyed the breeding places by drainage
and other methods. Today the Panama
isthmus is as healthy as any section of
the United States, and the change Is en-
tirely due to the work of the American
engineers and sanitarians. The mosquito
problem was attacked on the isthmus
with the determination to conquer. The
problem in New Jersey has been dallied

go to make up big event OF this kind.
like the centennial at Philadelphia, the
Columbian at Chicago and the Louisi-
ana purchase at st. Louis: but the most
distinctive exhibition is to be Boston
itself Boston is scheming to show the
world a model city. The plans are be-
ing formulated. 1t Is part of the plan
to rout out the tenemcnts and give every
laboring man a decent home. To this
end outlying districts are to be selected
where many of these homes can be built;
these are to be reached by street rail
ways, and supplied with gas, water and
electricity The landlord who tears down
his tenement is to be shown where he
can build nice. clean houses that will
bring him more money than his foul
buildings in the congested districts. The
example of Boston is bound to have q
wholesome effect upon every wideawake
city in the country. 1t is bound to stim-
ulate the municipal uplift that is al
ready evident In many quarters.
