his writings as 20 Henry"
His breezy paragraphs penned in
Texas first drew attention to the
young writer several years ago, and
then he launched forth with Sunday

CITY CHURCHES
MAKE ADVANCES
Country Congregations at Standstill,
Says Census Report-Four Million
More Women Than Men.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 9Th

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 6.-The
ratio of increase in church member
ship is much greater in the big cities
OF the country than in the rural dis
tricts. In the large cities the ratio OF
increase is greater than the ratio OF
increase in population; in the rural
districts these ratios are about equal.
These facts are set forth In the
special United States cen
sus report on the census OF religious
bodies for 1906 This report attributes
the high ratio of gains in membership
by city churches, as compared TO coun-
try churches, to the great strength CT
the Catholic church In the cities.
The report develops the curious fact
that while the cities OF the first class
lover 800 900 inhabitants) lead the
list In point OF increase OF church
membership, the cities OF the second
class 100000 to 300,O00) show a much
lower ratio than do the cities OF the
first, third or fourth class.
Between 1900 and 1906 the cities
OF the first class. of which there are
IL, more than doubled their church
membership.
In 1906 the number OF church menu
bers per 1000 of population was. for
100 principal cities, i69; for the whole
country. 391. and for the sections out
side the principal cities, 1853. There
we're 1855, 039 more female than male
members in the total for the country.

L0R|MER TO QUIT
Chicago Record Herald, in Forcef1l
Editorial, Calls on United States
Senator To Resign.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The Record
Herald. Republican. today editorially
calls on william Lorimer TO resign his
seat in the United States senate. The
paper says:
Illinois today is byword for his
sing throughout the nation. AS the
roll OF confessing legislators increases
and one sordid story after another Is
told of the bribery and betrayal. OF
petty graft and grand graft. of hold-up
bills and a general traflc in legisla-
ton. of greed SO gross that even the
proverbial honor among thieves was
lacking. defense OF the public morality
OF the state seems impossible.
But the confessions go straight TO
Senator Lorimer' election.
The senator himself has not been
accused OF bribery, but as the number
OF self-implicated bribe-takers in
crease the people are figuring how
many will be necessary TO invalidats
his election.
The question that will haunt the
senator day and night IL he is the vic
tim OF a syndicate in bribery-rather
than OF his wrong-doing--is not how
10 save the Official honor that has Ge'
come dishonor. but how TO demonstrate
his personal honor for his own sake
and that OF his family.
Everywhere there Is the same
thought which we may express In
the words:
