those of criminal tendencies. When

And there you are. Petty politics
thrives on crime and climbs TO place
over the shoulders of criminals. The
police force is the creature Of petty
politics in practically every city OF
larger or smaller size. Its members
exist at the pleasure of the ward work

supposedly popular rule watches petty

Hartford Conrantl
DR.. H. K. Carroll publishes in the
Christian Advocate" his annual report
on the progress of religion in the Unit
ed States. By common consent it's the
most careful and trustworthy compila-
ton of church statistics that gets into
print 1t makes no pretension to abb
solute accuracy. of course; that is un-
attainable.
The number of local churches or
congregations in the United States was
greater by 4,726 at the end of 1909,
DIR. Carroll reports, than at its begin
ming; there were 4,O23 more ministers
and 1918 more communicates. The
aggregate value of church property
was. s1,257,575,s67. The increase in
the value of Roman Catholic church
property was $174,515, 441-or more
than 147 per cent. The increase in
the value of Methodist church proper
ty Che largest shown by any Protes-
tant body) was $97,310,s17. The Ro-
man Catholics still hold first place as
to numbers, with 12,372.069 commune
cants. Next come the Methodists( all
sorts) with 6,477,242, and after them
the Baptists Gall sorts) with 5,510,590.
Other religious bodies follow, in this
order: Lutherans (all sorts) 2.173,047,
Presbyterians (all sorts) 1,s4s.046,
Episcopalians 921,7 13, Reformed 49,
500, Latter-Day Saints 400,650, United
Brethren 304,656, Jews $4,000 a.,
Dunkards 122,s47. Friends (Quakers)
119601, and Adventists 1851. The
preposterous figures given for the Jews
are the census figures of 1906, no later
ones being obtainable. and DR.. Carroll
himself pooh poohs them. He SAYS
Everybody knows that the Jewish
population is growing, and the fact
of such a tremendous increase Jew
ish ministers and congregations makes
the figures given for members absurd.
1t appears that of the 1853
congregations reported by the census
only LISP made returns of members.
This is not strange. The Russian Jews
fear that a census is preliminary to
the exaction of military service. Pres
ident Mendes of the Union Of Ortho-
dox Jewish Congregations tells me that
instead of a decrease OF $4,000 since
1890, it is more than probable that
there has been an increase of twice
that number. The adult Jewish popu-
Ilation Of the United States can not be
less than a million, and probably a
large majority of this number are
Jewish worshippers.
The number Of religious bodies
llarge and smaIl-in the United States
when 1910 began was about ia. A
number of small bodies appear for
the first time in DR.. CARROTS tables;
among them are the Jehovah Lutheran
Synod, the Reformed Methodist Union
Episcopal Church, three Churches of
the Living God, nine Faith Associa-
tons, etc. Several little communistic
bodies and a Methodist body describ-
ing itself as Evangelist Missionary dis
appear from the Carroll tables

sirable birds.
The hunters. in our opinion, are In
the right. The money that has been
contributed by them should be used for
the purposes Of game. There is no
reason why such moneys should be
used to foster fish in the rivers and
lakes. Let the fishermen create that
fund. The money should surely not be
converted into the ordinary state chan
nels. There is no warrant for collect
ing license from hunters unless the
money so collected is used in the inter-
ests Of the hunters.
There is in Iowa similar law af-
fecting automobile users. They have
to pay license of SIS when they buy
their cars. When car changes hands
the new owner has to put up the IS
to the state The state is supposed to
issue a plate with a number on 1t for
that amount, but the plate does not
cost more than a few cents. Just why
automobile owners should be mulcted
out of IS by the state is one OF the
mysteries. If the moneys thus collected
were used for something that automo-
biles are interested in, like sign boards
or better roads there might be an ex-
cuse for such collections. But when
the money is merely converted into the
treasury and used for other purposes
than those that pertain to automobiling
the matter looks little queer.

Plight of Our Missionaries in Korea.
The tragic death of Prince Ito has
given birth to many wild rumors and
speculations about the real nature and
magnitude Of the plot underlying the
crime committed by the Korean pa
triot." The most sensational of such
rumors is that which charges two
Americans, Mr.. Hubert and DR.. I'm
derwood, with having stirred up the
anti-Japanese feeling to such pitch
that it eliminated in the removal OF
the veteran statesman Of Japan. The
Osaka Asahi does not openly charge
these gentlemen with completely in the
preparation of the crime, but 1t does
venture to say that they had been
stirring up anti-Japanese sentiment
among the Koreans, which might nave
indirectly been responsible for the as
sassination of Prince Ito. 1t further
asserts that these two Americans have
been busy spreading in America false
reports about Japan's modus operandl
in Korea and Manchuria, with view
of undermining japanese influence in
those countries.
Some friends of Korea will no doubt
say that the missionaries are right IN
rousing the patriotism of down
trodden people, but many others hold
that the messengers of the gospel
should take no part in political mat
tiers, except to preach and practice the
example of their Master when he was
assailed by the powers of the state.

tive in the evangelical field in Korea;
Mr.. Hubert, author of "The Passing

NO MORE PALMER'S STAMP.
1Aleona Republican,

The Burlington Hawkeye came out
with the announcement of Col. Dave
Palmer as candidate for another
term as railroad commissioner. Com
menting on his announcement, the
paper says: Just about all Dave has
to do is to announce his desire. The
people will do the rest. He is one OF
the most popular public officials and
private citizens in the state. His rec
ord as a railroad commissioner Is about
as perfect as is possible under human
conditions. and his decision to run for
another term will meet with popular
endorsement"
We are glad to hear that 'tthe peo-
pie will do the rest" If they do, Dave
Palmer will surely get a rest from
dancing attendance at the beck and
call of the railroad companies, and it
will be a good long rest at that. OF
course he is popular official. Popular
with the railroad companies. and he
never could have been elected from the
First district at the time he was, with
out being in close sympathy with the
railroad interests. and furthermore the
Burlington HaWkeye would never be
found boosting for Col Palmer and
throwing bouquets al his record as rail-
rOa q commissioner III ne was not
pretty good. pliable tool in the hands
of the railroad companies. Some of
Palmer's friends in other parts Of the
state have been considerably disap-
pointed in his work as commissioner.
but we fail to see how he could have
done much else than he did. He comes
from locality where the railroad in
terests in times past have dictated how
every officer from that neck of woods
should act; his election was largely due
to the support, or at least lack Of oppo-
sition from the railroad interests of the
state so what could be expected from
an official that is holding office under
such conditions as that. The colonel is
a good campaigner and has powerful
interests behind him in this campaign.
but the people of our state are not in
sympathy with those interests. The
farmers of Iowa, the shippers Of stock
and the representatives of the varied
interests if they do their duty at the
polls next fall. will see that the Col.
Palmer stamp of railroad commissions

rest for an indefinite period.

DOLLAR GAS.
[Odebolt Chronicle.

Many newspapers on our exchange
list have commented on the reduction
Of the price Of gas in Odebolt to $1.25
per Thousand. expressing surprise unal
town of 1000 population should have
such a low rate. Yet the gas company
hopes to reduce the price to a dollar
within a year, provided consumption
increases in accordance with expecta-
tons. In many cities Of 10000 to So
600 population people are paying SIPS
to $3.50 per thousand for ordinary COM
mercial gas which is inferior to the
product of the Odebolt plant for both
lighting and cooking. Comm ercial gas
gives only one-fourth the candle power
and has only 80 per cent Of the heat
ing quality of Odebolt gas.
