Urge, Reform in Church Methods.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
/ note with great interest the cores
pondence as to why men fall to go 10
church. This is a great subject and
one hat cannot be handled within the
confines of a short letter, ~ after
several years Of active church work 1t
Is nv opinion that the main trouble
with the church is that it is working
on a superficial basis; there should be
less of the hereafter, and more of the
present, less of Heaven and the I'M
known, and more attention given to
earth and its tribulations.
People should be shown and taught
how to bear UP bravely under the
woes of this world, how to better their
condition, and after that matter is vel
in hand it WOULD be far easier to looS
u and prepare for the future life and
its unknown possibilities. The Saviour
said, 1.-THE Kingdom of Heavsn Is
within you now, today, and tomorrow
not after death, but during life, there
for the church of today should be edu-
cational.
The church is practically dying OF
dry not; the church has missed its
opportunity. ut has been weighed In
the balance and found w%anting;" while
the preachers have been preaching and
praying in the abstract, they have
overlooked the fact that intelligence is
now thoroughly awake, times have
changed men are now thinking
for themselves. Our crowded streets
and theatres and u empty chupcf
edifices announce this fact in language
stronger than words.
The church is pot only losing its hold
on the people but it actually has los'
it's hold. The present day church is
very little better than a religious club,

The railway magnate was lost in
gloomy meditation. He pressed an
electric button savagely.
A minion appeared as by magic.

What are we getting out of this

4 NATIONAL MOVEMENT AGAINST GRAFT.

tn UDOLPH S~PRECKELS, of San Francisco, the man who made
i'm the splendid fight against graft and corruption in that city,
wants to organize a national movement against legislative
and official corruption, and honest men will wish him success in
his mission. Mr.. Spreckels has no fattering opinion of the Taft
administration, which he declares has fooled and betrayed the
country TO aggrandize the Interests He is greatly disappointed
in Taft a feeling that too generally prevails throughout the land.
But the American people are ripe for a movement against graft
and corruption, recent disclosures of which have made them heart
sick, and he will earn their gratitude if he shall do al good work
countrywide Is he did in San Francisco.

TE VERY thoughtful man will agree with the New York Eve.
IL ming Post that President Taft "has it in his power not only
to mend his political fortunes, but to do the country a serv-
ice nv showing a more vigorous moral initiative. He might" adds
the Post, "for example, take a high tone about the many evidences
of corruption in his party" Mr.. Taft, in a recent speech, presaged
a struggle with SOCIALISM" In the vocabulary of current politics,
almost ANYTHING not of the Aldrich brand may be set down as
socialistic. But the Presidents speeches have scrupulously avoided
the subject of party corruption, the odors of which arise in many
States. A moral initiative is not possible now. Others have taken
that The point is that the President should at least recognize the
great evil and publicly condemn it.

pPiNCETON,S GOOD FORTUNE.

WV lion to Princeton carries with it more than the same
amount of gifts from Others, with also $150D00 from Mrs.
Russell Sage. an additional contribution for dormitories, making
about nj 800 900 to which is to be added the great Wyman bequest,
yariously estimated from s. 100000 to $10,000O00. These rich gifts
solve the university problems and also put an end to the differences
of opinion in regard to university policy that recently arose. New
JERSEY takes great pride in her university, the germ of which was
planted in Newark, and its development is watched by the people
of the State with afecionate interest. The good fortune that has
lately come to Princeton, therefore, gives general satisfaction.

With the victim in tow, the UNI
pire easily followed the broad beam
of reflected sunlight to an unshaded
wing of the grandstand, where a
former member of the Legislature
was u~nconsciously offending with a
diamond cuff-link. The stone, no
larger than an ordinary hickory
nut, was giving a life-like imitation
of the electric searchilght of an
overland express.
Apologies were offered all around;
the former member of the Legis-
lature pulled down his sleeve, and
the game vas resumed.
1t would have been much more
serious. however, had the diamond,
as is often the case, inspired a
stubborn, determined ambition to
become an assemblyman in some
mar whose ultimate aim would
have been merely to acquire an
other such stone.

10 the EDITOR OF the Evening Star:
sloppy is the only word that will
ntly characterize the way in which the
men who have daubed the telegraph
poles of this city recently with mud
colored paint did the job. Some of the
best streets have been disfigured by the
work OF these men because in many
instances they have splashed as much
OF the alleged paint on the sidewalks
under the poles as they have put on
the poles themselves. One of the
streets that has been particularly dis
figured is James street, the lower part
OF which, near Washington Park. is in
a fine residential section of the city.
A short walk almost anywhere along
the line of poles will convince anybody
that there should have been some re-
sponsible supervision of the daubers.

and ride on their COW ponies. This unique cavalcade will divide
attention with the rough riders, and it will have a tremendous effect
upon the maginations of thousands of young men and women be-

AMONG the elect" The Saviour said
something about being neither. hot nor

would be better for all. One OF the
chief reasons why people do not take

IN TTORNEYGENERAL WICKERSHAM, speaking for the Taft
~ administration, tells the Mayor of Yonkers, in reply to petit
lions for Federal interference to prevent the increase OF
fares. that the subject is mot of such general national character as
to Justify the taking it up by the Federal government" That answer
closes the door to any protection from Washington. Nor has any
sensible man looked for Federal interference. The question OF rail
road fares doesn't belong to the comprehensive game that has been
PLAYED with the administration railroad bill as the stake.

cTA HE House has passed the postal savings bank bill, which is yet

to cheat the administration, as they have successfully cheated the
people, they will procure the bills enactment before Congress adj
journs. The bill, if finally passed, may indeed prove to be as
tricky a measure as the administration railroad bill. 1t came from
the same source, and it will be subject to the same influences.

G0HNXGATA

A primary campaign may be said to
have caught its stride when the can
didate for nomination, with everything
to gain and nothing to lose, begins To
ask embarrassing questions of an OF
ponent, who apparently has everything
which may be lost by indiscreet an
swers or no nsw at all. The prl-
mary campaign, still in its infancy. bias
fair to become the most interesting fea-
ture of u machinery oNelection. The
choice of regular wings of discredited
parties must continue to find what they
had fondly hoped would sa3their great
est source of strength their chief weak
ness.
IF everyone who is justly criticising
the Taft administration is to be barred
from the White House it WILL become
a lonely place. declared Francis BAR
ton Harrison, Democratic representa-
tive in Congress from the Sixteenth
district of New York, yesterday after
the door of the executive mansion had
been gently but firmly closed in his
face. There would have been more
truth in the statement had the repre-
sentative inserted the clause Openly
and in secret" A great many mens do
not express all of their opinions n1b-
licly. and the White House will always
attract lots of visitors.
It is apparent from the result Of the
primaries in Iowa that President Taft's
impassioned defense of his friends.
Cannon n Aldrlch. has been forgot
ten. Or perhaps little attention was
paid to it at the time. Tho President
may have known, indeed 1t Is quite
likely he did, that his audience was
not a sympathetic one when he made
his appeal. 1t really doesn't matter
much how the speech was regarded in
Iowa at the time 1t was delivered. since
1t was so emphatically d~isregarded at
the primaries.
Several senators Insisted during the
discussion of a bill providing for an
appropriation of s10o, 900 to enable the
President to acquire the secret of econ
omizing in the various executive de-
partments that this act would make it
cost too much to learn how~to save.
They thought that the sum In question
was too large to pay for what every
body knows. AT the first blush, indeed,
it would seem that the price put on
economy is a tall one. but most everyl
thing is costing more this year.
Some communications of conventional
romances naturally do not make an
appeal beyond the circles of friends and
acquaintance Of the happy principals
of the affair. A bizarre touch is neces-
sary If such romances are to have gen.
eral news value. The telephone served
for a long time to supply this necessary
feature. then the automobile e1opement
forged to the front. Nothing less than
a story involving to some little trans
portation extent an %aeroplane will APP
peal to a blase 1910 public.

The official call for the fifth annual
session of the Dry Farming Congress
is now out. This will be held at Spo-
kane October SO next. 1t is planned
TO make this the best of the congresses
yet held. An exceptionally able lot
OF speakers has been arranged for,
and the city of Spokane is preparing
to entertain a big gathering. Dele
gates will be present from every state
west of the Missouri river, as in all
of these states, dry farming is maxi
ing a wonderful advancement. BY
the methods recently discovered and
put in practice, millions of acres OF
land which we're worthless, are now
producing good crops. The theory IS
simple enough, and it only required
brains to put it in practice, and
save millions OF acres OF worthless
land. The two main features of dry
farming, is to conserve the moisture
in the soil, by proper tillage and dis
cover those plants which mature
best with the least possible moisture.
