Emotional Democracy

Emotional democracy was de-
clared by Rev. Joseph A. Milburn in his
sermon in Plymouth Congrega tional
church the certain solution of the in
dustrial problems of the world and one
that already was proving potent. In
part Rev. Mr.. Milburn said:
The development of emotional dem
ocracy the democracy of the heart, is
one of the most encouraging signs in
our modern times. The old economic
theory of individualism, the doctrine
that the world belongs to those who are
BILE to take it from their brothers, is
passing away.
The doctrine of the survival of the
fittest, of the triumph of sheer brute
energy and intellectual astuteness
soon will be but a memory

to take its place. The system to come

GYRoscoPE CARS FUTURE.
Richard scherI Thinks Monorail viii
Soon Rival Standard Gauge Roads.

hfchard Scheri InInkS Monoraii VIII
Soon Rival Standard Gauge Roads.
Richard Scherl, son of August Scherl,
proprietor of the Lokal Anzieger Of
Berlin, who arrived at New York re-
Gently to interest capital and the pub
lie in the Scherl monorail gyroscope
car, believes it is only question Of
time before the monorail train will be
competing with standard gauge trains
every where. The car which he will
use in his demonstrations in the Unit
ed States is capable of carrying ten
persons, and in it is fitted a gyroscope
which. driven by motor, makes 5000
revolutions minute. The sudden
stopping Of the gyroscope and the con-
sequent overturning of the car, he de-
clared. is an impossibility. for the gy-
roScope Is driven at such high rate
of speed that it would revolve for
hours after the driving power had
ceased and thus keep the car upright
The claim that Mr.. Scherl makes for
his gyroscope car is that passengers
can travel in greater safety. comfort
and at much greater speed than on
railroads of the present day. From 3
business standpoint. he said. the mono
rail system would be Of advantage. as
the construction work can be done at
low figure.

A Reply to Critics of the Clergy.
Believe Ye The Miraele.?

1t Is said that certain we'll known
leader in ethical culture confessed that
he had dissuaded youth from entering
the ministry and so had saved him
from IAN effete profession" The fact
is reported by "Clericus," who writes
some confessions of second-rate
sensitive preacher" He declares that
of late he has found everywhere he has
turned criticism and contempt for the
ministry as unmanly and effeminate' %
The preacher, he admits in The Chris
ton Work and Evangelist, is fully open
to criticism, but his calling is still
noble and manly. Without trying to
hide matters, he brings forward some
things that give seeming justifica-
ton to the criticisms and aspersions."
Thus:
There are types of clergymen for
which manly men can feel very little
admiration. One finds occasionally the
ladylike minister who writes his SER
mons on tinted note-pa per and ties
them in pink ribbon, whose chief de-
light is o'clock tea, and who would
faint at a political caucus. Nice little

also, the petty ecclesiast His is little

mechanism of his sect. When he

astride some ancient hobby, or riding
atilt in medieval intellectual armor.
Such figure in modern life justly in
vites hilarity I have known. too, the
worldly minded minister, who shows
his unattractive qualities in various
ways. He may be UNCONVENTIONAL
politician. whose main occupation is
seeking the high seats in the sanctuary
He may be the mercenary, who prizes
high salary more than goodness. He
may be clerical loafer, who wastes his
time in public places and curries favor
with the vulgar by retailing irreverent
stories. He may be the preacher who
disgusts all true men by the easy
grace with which he mounts the fence

HOW DOES THE SQUIRREL DO IT?

Every day or so, a squirrel may be
seen in our door yard hunting up the
nuts he planted last fall. He comes
across the road, jumps over the fence,
and goes straight to a spot and even in
present deep snow, digs down and gets
a nut and is away again. Will someone
tell us. what means-what sense
the squirrel has that he can locate, un-
der eight or ten inches of snow, the
food he planted three or four months
ago. Another query: The squirrel al
ways bites off the end of the nut that
it attached to the limb when growing,
before he huries it. Why?

JOPLIN EXPERIENCE

SUNDAYS JOPLIN EXPERIENCE.
ICedar Rapids Republican,
Mr.. Sunday has complied his labors
in Joplin. The number of his converts
was not quite so large as the number
in Cedar Rapids, altho Joplin claims a
little larger population. The evangelist
did not repeat his Cedar Rapids expert
ence. There was great deal of oppo-
sition in the Missouri town and some
of the newspaper comments were more
or less hostile. The city. like Ottumwa,
seems to have been divided into two
camps of opposing men. Some of the
contests have been carried into the
courts resulting in the fning of several
church members and men prominent
in the movement for various offenses.
such as renting property for lewd and
unlawful purposes. The storm has
beaten fiercely around these men and
some of the newspap ers have branded
them as hypocrites, and so on and so
on. But even the newspapers that
have not been wholly friendly have
been compelled to give Mr. Sunday their
APPROVAL for good done in the commun-
ity.
But we like the Cedar Rapids way
better. In this city Mr.. Sunday, with
out opposition of any kind, and with
out arousng any bitterness, was en-
abled to accomplish larger work than
he has accomplished in Joplin. He left
Cedar Rapids with the we'll wishes of
all men and he left behind him here no
. ill-feeling of any kind and no differ
ences of opinion to disturb US in our
every day life. The fact that Joplin's
experience was somewhat different
from that Of Cedar Rapids is wholly
the fault of tho neople of Joplin, not of
Mr. Sunday himself. 1t is the result
OF the tee4lns Oh the part of certain
classes that a revival of religion is
inimical to their business. In Joplin
the bawdy house keepers, the gamblers
and other lawless classes led the oppo-
sition and the liquor men were foolish
enough to permit themselves to be
drawn into controversies, because the
liquor men were not operating their
places under the provisions of the law
and were therefore equally vulnerable
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Sunday
never runs or even quails in the face
of an opposition thus made up.
