RAPTIsTs AND JEWS.

An interesting Illustration of the
breaking down of religious preju.
diees is afforded by the courteous of
fer of the trustees of Temple Emanu.
Ell of New York to the officers of the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church DR..
Aked's congregation is to be homeless
for a year, while new edifce is in
process OF construction, and the trus-
tees of the Jewish temple according
ly proposed that the services of the
church during that period should be
held under their roof 1t may not
prove practicable for this to be done,
but DR.. Aked writes to Chairman
Marshall of the trustees Your willing
ness TO welcome US TO your building
is one of the most splendid exhibitions
Of hospitality, neighborliness and large
catholicity with which my experience
in two countries has made me famil-
lar
A parallel case occurred here in
Keokuk while the new Baptist church
was in process of construction. Fore.
seeing that the Baptist people would
be without a building in which to wor-
ship. the trustees of the Jewish syna-
gogue offered their edifice for the pur-
pose, and the offer was gladly accept
ed Such incidents cannot but have
wholesome sentimental influence
wherever noted.

Pneumonia Weather.

New York Herald The pronounced
mild spell developing yesterday over
the Atlantic states seems to Indicate
the arrival of an extended period in
which there is often great increase
of pneumonia and other diseases of
the respiratory organs. This period
lasts from the close OF February until
the middle of April. during which the
variations of temperature are excep-
tionally rapid, sometimes exceeding
30 degrees in single day in New York
Such changes are especially dangerous
when the vital energy of most peo-
pie has been much lowered by the cold
and storms of midwinter Although
spring is three weeks off, the mild and
relaxing spells are liable to be very
suddenly broken by violent lev gales
in this section During this morbif-
ic period the best safeguards against
the diseases of the season are the re-
tention, as far as possible, of warm
clothing and the careful maintenance
of good digetion and ample nourish-
ment together with the avoidance of
oyerwork and all excuses

aREFoRINe. THE PARTY

Mr.. Prouty, insurgent candidate for
congress in the Seventh district, has
delivered his first speech. The Cedar
Rapids Republican declares that it is
such speech as Jim Weaver would
never have thought of making, and
goes on to say concerning insurgents
generally:
He is one of the gentlemen, sup
posed to be members of tie Republi-
can party, who think 1t is their privi-
lege to set up new ideas and utter
ances for the Republican party every
time they think 1t necessary to run
for office. 1t used to be that the party
itself made its platforms and men
lined UP with the will of the majority.
But nowadays certain men go forth
and enunciate lot OF populism and
then abuse the party if it does not i'm
mediately accept the whole mess oil
their stuff We have the cart before
the horse and we are going to have
trouble SO long as things are thus re-
versed. Every ambitious man, wheth-
er scrupulous or unscrupulous, now
makes his own platform and tries to
ram it down his party's throat"

At banquet at the University club
in Washington Tuesday evening, Presi-
dent Taft voiced the thought that we
are in danger of period OF hysteria
and that there is need OF return TO
sane thinking and common sense. The
gist of what he said on this point is
contained in the following paragraph:
Il believe we are passing through
Ia period where we need sane and nor
NAL thinking, where the sensitive con-
dition of the public is likely to lead
1t into hysteria, period where the
public must be brought to sane think
ing and common sense. | do not know
of any class of men more charged
with that duty than the university
men,
The President conceded that An oc.
casional university man is over educat-
ed and that he goes beyond the bounds
of common sense. but he declared that
the great body of university men, after
they have been out OF college long
enough to learn the ways of the world,
may be counted upon to reach safe
and sane conclusions.

Chicago for $40 and over. This is the
highest price since 1S70-forty years

state in the union it does not become
Iowa to complain of the high price of
pork. The figures may seem appalling
