aHEREsYy TODAY.

Professor Foster, of Chicago Univer-
sity, is in trouble. A considerable num-
Der of the Baptist clergy of Chicago
are proclaiming him as a hereto to
the church. The professor has recently
published a book on The Function of
Religion" which appears to support
the charges made against him that he
is non Baptist and makes sport Of
doctrines which the Baptist church
holds to be true, while he draws a sal
airy of s3,500 a year from the Baptist
treasury" Further charges are that he
denies the deity OF Christ. neither ac-
cepts nor breaches the bible plan OF
redemption and repudiates the author
ity of scripture which Baptists hold
to be supreme The assailants appear
to have considerably the best of the
evidence in Fosters own book and they
propose to change his methods or his
place in the church.
It is hard to see persecution or. aught
else but simple justice and plain
propriety in their demand. Heresy
nowadays is not heresy in the middle
ages. Professor Foster stands in no
danger of a bonfire in the market place
or an auto da fe What he is being
asked is to practice and preach what he
signed and accepted as his personal
belief when ne became Baptist or get
out of the organization where he
doesn't belong. He has no more bust
ness in the Baptist church as a sub
verter Of its creed than he has in a
denying its principles and poking sport
at It's rituals and laws.
When some one says "heresy'' we
bark back TO the ynartyrdom Of the
eaints, to the burning homes and pale
. fugittves of the Palatine, the Cove nan
: ter shot at his door post for his faith
and the bloody rivers of St Bartholo-
new. And We make a mistake when
/ NE do so. There is no earthly reason
today why sympathy should go out to
! any man who refuses to conform to
the doctrines of his church and who Is
asked to get out of the way. Liberty
OF conscience means the privilege to Sc
lect an organization, a creed and a
companionship. 1t doesn't mean the
right to hold membership while deny
Ding vital principles or the liberty to
change creeds to conform to personal
predictions.
If Professor Foster arouses much
sympathy 1t will be of the pseudo type
If he doesn't believe in the doctrines
of the Baptists and refuses to obey
their statutes they should simply
dump him overheard and go on sailing
Some one will pick him up.

Reflections of a Dandelion.

Reflections of a Dandelion.
The dandelion now observe
The freshest plant OF all
It has the most exalted nerve,
The most colossal gall.
Get all YOU can, so runs it's creed.
And give a blame sight less;
These are the simple rules that lead
To glittering success.
When other flowers have closed thei
eyes
The dandelion labors,
And everlastingly it tries
To overcome its neighbors.
The blue grass and the clover fee
Before its competition:
It has no social sympathy
To check it's fierce ambition.
Attic its harm is something great,
Its worthlessness sublime,
It gets a lot of real estate
BY roofing all the time
So nerve and front and diligence
Will surely take us far.
It makes no special difference
How no-account we are.

CONGRESSIONAL CLUB AGROUND,
Ultra Smart SGT of Washington wom-

Ultra Smart Set OF Washington Wom-
en- Neglect Dues, Says Rumor.
Washington, June 15.-Total extinc-
ton or a period of humdrum monotony
faces the Congressional Club of this
city, because Of the withdrawal from it
of the ultra smart set of women of the
congressional circle. These women,
who as social leaders were desired as
members Of the club to give it stand
ing, We're persuaded to enter upon a
nominal initiation fee, but they have
tired of the ambitions of some of the
less favored women, who have sought
to enter the inner circles Of society
thru membership in the club.
Several daring and aspiring women,
1t is represented, without social expe-
rience. took up the club idea as a lad
der upon which they would enter the
most exclusive homes in Washington.
Having paid their initiation fee, the
acknowledged social leaders banished
all ideas of the club from their minds
and have neglected to pay their an
nual dues, long since payable.
The question now is: How will the
club persuade its really smart, tho dis
interested, members to pay up and not
offend them into getting out?

THE NEIGHBORLY SPIRIT.
lGrundy Democrat


A farmer in a neighboring county
has been sick all spring, and a. number
of days ago thirty Of his neighbors and
friends took a day off and put An the
sick mans crops. The wives Of the
farmers, with baskets filled with pro-
visions. took a hand and went with their
husbands TO look after the cooking and
the household work.
This is showing neighborly spirit
that explains in a measure the charm,
and attachment there is to life on the
farm. The same neighborly spirit Is
found among farmers in every part of
the country. 1t is bred and nourished
there.
1t is said Of the farmer that he can
be the most Independent being on
earth. He can be. It is also said OF
him that he can be the most selfish.
sHe can be. but he isn't. No one can be
extremely selfish and be generous and
helpful ne!ghbcr. The farmer in
whom the neighborly spirit never dries
out may have selfish streak in him.
but he keeps an alright plaster over
IT to prevent it from spreading.

IT PAYS.
Manson Journal.1


In a town not far away and not
many years ago, there resided a
bunch Of wideawake, hustling young
business men. They were the bone.
and brain and sinew of the COM
munity They We're the men the COM
munity looked upon to do things and
they did them. They were social,
liberal lot of fellows. with whom it
was pleasure to meet and asso-
ciate.
They had club rooms, where they
met and played social games and
also, we are sorry to say, they looked
upon the wine when 1t was red. The
meetings were frequently prolonged
to early morning hours They went
home to restless sleep and a
mighty poor day following. Those
who have had the experience know
how it feels. and those who do not
can not afford to learn by experience.
Some of the young men stood it
and others failed. Some died from
the effects of the continued de-
bauches. others had their business
ruined and still others their homes
broken up and sorrow and desolation
followed in their paths. The strong
er ones survived; the weaker ones
went the road Of all strong drinkers.
Then there came an awakening.
Some of the members withdrew from
the club, to keep away from tempta-
ton, others took the pledge, and prac-
tically everyone who was not already
too far gone swore off for good. The
club room has been dismantled. In
stead Of the "all nights" with "men
only" the boys now attend meetings
with their wives. They go home at
night and wake up in the morning,
afraid to hook no one in the face.
The drinking and all nights have
gone to lower element, and you
could not get one of the old crowd
to stoop SO low as to be seen
drinking with them. The trouble is
that drinking places all men on a
level. The drinker, the bootlegger,
and the saloonist are all as one.
These men would be ashamed today
to be classed with that element.
If you don't think 1t pays to be
decent. ask any one OF this bunch.
The writer was not long alone in
his fight on booze drinking. He
has more company tout now than he
ever had in" The world is getting
better every day and is getting
harder every day for the immoral
and drinking man to gain recognition
either in society or business. If you
know when you are we'll off, you will
cut 1t out for good,

with those of Il wish you happy New Year" The
year 1905 has passed into history which holds dis

panic and the presidential campaign.

Whilst all seasons bring with them their various

SO, It's Doycottlng was supremacy unjust and runous
to the firms existence Not being informed as to
the trouble which led up to the contention we can
not predicate what side the unfairness existed
Regarding the issuing of the injunction by JUS
tice Gould restraining the federation from placing
the stove concern in the 1--WE Don't Patronize" list
of its paper and its subsequent violation by Messrs
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, it may be re-
called that the injunction issue was paramount
at the late election, and is still mooted uues-
ton among all classes of society and future events
must decide it finally. Of course it must be adj
mitted that the labor federation through its chief
officers at least technically guilty by virtue of
profaning the solemn mandate of Justice Gould.
1t seems to-us as if it would have been wiser to
have carried the case to the supreme court at the
time the injunction was first issued. and in the
meantime to cease the boycott on the Buck Stove
company. To a layman the law CHASING both cor
porations and labor unions in the same status APP
pears unsound. Be that as it may. the punishment
inflicted is too severe 1t manifests beyond doubt
inpartiality when remembering that high nisde-
meanors of the wealthy, such as rebatng by Stand
ard Oil and the great railroads. the fast driving of
automobiles, which is dangerous TO life and limb,
and where the rich solely involved, are punished
by fine! And when labor leaders, guilty of
simple contempt of court that has been committed
by thousands of lawyers in all times and nations
are sentenced to year in jail, it causes people
to pause and inquire: Wherefore the terrible dis
crepancy between the chastisement of the rich and
poor! Terrible distrust of the courts is thereby
aroused, and there is no limit to the havoc wrought
in the minds of the masses. They lose all proper
respect for the majesty of the law and the inter
prefers of it are mostly to blame The injunction
issue is difficult one to understand. While its
fate is in suspense, it be maintained in view of
the revealed venaty of many courts in the state
of Pennsylvania, for instance, that such great is
sues as this one should be passed upon by intel
ligent jury, and not left TO mans jurisdiction
who might be another bloody Jefreys in enforced
passivity. Waving all portions of the wrangle to
one side there is no earthly for the scathing
denunciation of the defendants by Justice Wright.
Such unseemly TRADES obscure the essential matter
of the legal and tend to arouse intensely, bit
ter class hatreds The duty of the presiding magis-
trate is to interpret the law and pass sentence
where there is no jury to try the case in con
troversy.
