MERRITT AND oolLIveR.

+ Senator Dolliver denies that he
charged or received $500 for his speech
at Springfield on the occasion Of the
Lincoln centennial. Edward l.. Merritt
Of Springfield, has said that he did.
Senator Dolliver says he 9ies. MIR.
Merritt says Bryan made no charge.
Senator Dolliver rejoins that If he did
not he has reformed lately. And there
you are.
However, Senator Dolliver goes on to
explain that 1t took about week OF
his time to carry out the Lincoln pro-
gram and says that someone slipped
an envelope containing money into his
hand. He does not tell us how much
the honorarium thus received
amounted to accept that 1t was far
short Of $500.
1t is an unfortunate controversy in
many ways. No one will deny that IL
the committee wanted Dolliver 1t ought
to have been willing to pay for his
.sweek" and ought not to kick about it
or that Senator Dolliyer was entirely
within his legal and moral rights II he
felt that the committee ought to pay
and charged them accordingly. He
tells us he didn't charge but that he
was given some money. Under the cir
cumstances, perhaps he would be In
better case had he refused any re-
enumeration at all as Mr.. Bryan Is said
to have done. 1t was q great occasion.
1t was a splendid distinction to be Sc
lected as one Of the orators OF the oc-
casion and perhaps 1t would have been
in perfect taste to have refused money
as consideration before and after.
However, despite all that the senator
was worth the money and had a perfect
right to collect or accept 1t as a gift
If he chose to do so.
There isn't much to the fuss anyway.
The senator will do well to forget 1t
and thus lull others to forgetfulness.

DANGER IN WEALTH
[Dr. Emil G. Hirsch.l

DR.. Emil G. I1rsch.I
1t Is the destiny of this country to
be the greatest OF wealth producers
and to become world power among
the nations OF the earth. Tt is well
and proper that we should produce
wealth. 1t Is natures reward for
conquering her The Indian, before
white men came to these shores
showed unfitness to remain in control
Of the continent He produced moth
ing; he left the world less than 1t had
when he came. No man is worth while
unless he creates something. While
we have the greatest opportunity to
create wealth, therein lies our greatest
danger.
The people Of the nation take adj
vantage of their opportunities. We
have no idle class, such as they have
in Europe for which God should be
thanked. 1t is against the spirit of the
American ideal for men to be Idle.
We look upon the idlers as freaks not
entitled to our patience. We are not
all created equal, either as consumers
or producers. Therefore one man
gets more than another. and the I'M
equal distribution OF this world
goods has keener danger
1t is our destiny to become a world
power. There was no way to avoid it..
We have the big stick. but because
we have it we are rather to be pitied
than congratulated. The youth with a
revolver has temptation, and just so
it is with nation with a big stick.
Wealth brings power, and power means
responsibility. and with responsibility
is closely associated the stewardship
idea. The theory that the white man
Is alone selected as Gods instrument
must be soon modified.

THE HooT MACHINE.

"A German inventor has perfected q
combination OF the siren and the phon-
pxraph that, will carry words distinct
" over q distance OF several miles.
This should be "a popular instrument.
Il Is confederation Of the assertion that
necessity Is the mother Of invention
Tor 1t has been needed and long
awaited.
Imagine its usefulness: Mrs. Jones
needs willie who is at the baseball
grounds twelve blocks away. she
turns the lever and the machine shriils
out "Wi-l-li-e, II you are not home in
is minutes I'll skin you alive" Ana
On the midst of a home run Wiiue
hears the siren call and remembers
that many things require his immedi-
ate presence at home. When men stay
TOD late at lodge the gentle voice OF
those near and dear will come waited
In thru the open door and still the
clanor. The barkeep will wipe up the
/ top and say, Eyer wives are calm
youse, dye want de place pinched .
The man who insists on telling The
same old story can put 1t on the hooter
and we can't get away from it without
moving out OF the county and losing
our voting residence In the ward. The
advertising politician can use 1t to
the enlightenment OF the masses and
The confusion OF his antagonist. Every
man who blows his own horn can save
his wind and use the howl machine.
Perhaps Of q Sunday thte minister can
press button and even wake up lthe
sluggards asleep at home
One pair Of ears 1t will never be able
to reach; those OF the elective official
who refuses or is afraid to do his
duty. II 1t could It would be In wider
demand than voting machines. But
we mustn't expect a machine to per-
form Representatives,.

MEilthx Atheism is Defended.

President Roosevelt is to be request
ed to publicly withdraw the harsh ref
erence made by him in his Life of
Gouyerneur Morris" to Thomas Paine,
the revolutionary soldier and counselor
of George Washington. In that work
Roosevelt refers to Paine as a filthy
little atheist"
M. M Mangasarian, lecturer for
the Independent Religious Society of
Chicago, left last evening for Wash
ington, commissioned by that society
to present to President Roosevelt res
olutions passed by $500 of it's mem
bers, asking him "to withdraw pub
licly this regrettable and indefensible
censure of one of, the first citizens Of
the republic, who helped to make the
world freer by his genius and grander
by his heroism."
.Tom Paine was neither filthy, little,
nor an atheist" said Mr.. Mangasarian
recently. "He was not a perfect man,
but we have no record Of his being
either dissolute or unprincipled; he
drank, but so did Washington drink,
and Jefferson, and Franklin; and am
not aware that Roosevelt is a tee
totaler. Physically, Paine was big
ger man than Roosevelt; religiously he
was a deist. He believed in a God and
hoped for immortality, and has so
stated repeatedly in The Age of Rea-
SON.
1--WE feel that it is up to the presi-
dent to justify his criticism of Thomas
Paine; or, failing to do that, to pub
licly Withdraw it,"

No Martyr. Now.

TRev. w. A. Bartlett, u. d.
We do not know what to do with a
martyr nowadays, because people do
not take their religion seriously enough
to get excited about ih 1t is all well
enough to get excited over a game Of
bridge whist or a bad-ftting gown, but
it is bad form and bigoted ito be too
orthodox or particular about creeds or
reforms.
Even the loudest shouter about the
great age in which we live and the
most shining example of optimism
must see that we, as nation, are
rapidly passing from the heroic period
into that of selfishness and ease be-
cause we will not permit any great
and fundamental principles of gov
eminent or morals to stand higher
than personal and business interests.

SELLING TH Il CHILDREN.

81 Theodore Roosevelt mas SAID some
thing like this: MY ideal of a boy is
one who will grow up and be able to
support a family When we come TO
consider that is about what we expect
OF every boy. That he will grow into a
decent man, willing and able to work
1 for himself and che family we expect
him to have That is what the average
good citizen does first and last; for
) that is the prime test of good citizen
ship
Admitting so much the boy should
be given fair chance. He should have
an opportunity to acquire a fair work.
Ing education and should be obliged to
take advantage of the opportunity aft
forded. The schools should be arranged
primarily to the advantage of the boy
who is to grow up and be able to sup
port q family.
He ought to have fair chance 9TH
erwise. He should be given a Chance to
grow up decent without having to fight
for 1T. His father and the fathers of
other boys ought to see that there are
no traps set for him and baited to his
destruction. So much is a duty from
one generation to its successor.
we ought not to use the boy who is
to be able to support family as
q means Of raising revenue. We ought
not to cash his chances for good cit-
izenship in tax warrants or in the rev.
enue derived from vice. We ought to
learn something from our own exper-
fence with our own boys, and from our
neighbors's experience with his boys
For every boy we feed to the sordid
lie that we can raise revenue no other
way except by selling the future of our
children is a simple transaction in our
own flesh and blood. There is no way
out of our blood outlines. We do 1t.
We all know It. The revenue we raise
from vice is procured and perpetuated
by the degradation and destruction of
our own children for whom we would
willingly die as individuals and whom
we put on the market in the aggre-
gate.
The boy ought to have fair chance
The girl who is to grow UP and be-
come the mother OF that family should
not have her chances of happiness sold
from under the feet Of her childhood
Let's be honest; the boys upon
whom we look with contempt today are
not all to blame; the wreck that
crawls out of the police court with a
ten days sentence has truth in his
indictment of those of us who sit at
home proud Of the assurance that we
are able to support our families: the
woman who sits with her deserted
children in a hovel accuses us. Ac-
cuses you and me and those who came
before us. It is just. We are guilty. We
have sold the chances Of youth for
. price. bargained them away to vice
for thirty pieces OF silver.
And yet we mean to be decent, mean

1t takes more patriotism than merely
to stand up with glass in hand after

The Keokuk Constitutional Democrat,
cheerfully predicts that after the adj
journment of the present legislature
there will be left ample evidence that
the usefulness of the republican par

where 1t can longer inflict damage to

The democrats are now easily within

Christianity in Janan.

Twenty years ago Bismarck told o
Japanese representative that Japan
never could expect to be rated as a
great world power until she became q
christian nation. That idea lodged in
the Japanese official mind" writes
William T. Ellis in the Outlook land
much OF the early turning OF Japan to-
ward christianity was purely from
motives of national self-interest
Like other western ways this new
religion was widely adopted because 1t
was foreign style Herein Is to be
found the explanation of many of the
later lapses among the early converts:
they never really knew vital religion.
"At the present time Japan has come
to believe that Bismarck was mistaken
and that she can get along without
formally adopting the religion Of the
countries from which she has learned
the secrets Of twentieth century pro-
gress. One rather startling evidence OF
this / have unearthed. The authority

Gently the intention to make the Crown
Prince christian so that the next en-
peror would be counted among the
christian rulers Of the earth. Now,
significantly, that Intention has been
abandoned So the church in Japan
has escaped the subtle perils OF the
.This same authority expressed the
belief that Japan would never become
an avowedly christian nation. She will
always maintain perfect religious lib
erty, and there win beichristians among
her people, just as there will continue
to be Buddhists and Shintoists; but ra-
tionalism rather than religion will
characterize the Japan of the future.
christianity has a recognized place
in the thought of the Japanese ma

about it, at least in a general way. l

people of that city had been touched by

about 10 per cent could be included in

Enthusiastically all were aware of the
existence of the 'Yasu' religion.
"The latter is admittedly a force to
be reckoned with. Christian literature
is more virilef than that of any other
