MISLEADING Sociology For ReIisio

Mistaking Sociology For Religion.
Prof. Smaller Mathews contributes a
warning word to the discussion of the
friendliness between the church and or
ganized labor or socialism. He seems
to discern a tendency to neglect the
spiritual factor for which the church
must primarily stand. Such neglect,
he says, in The Homileic Review CNew
York;, will simply leave the church
again in the attitude OF seeking merely
to alleviate misery, subject to the dam
ger of being misunderstood as seeking
ACKNOWLEDGMENT for itself" The church,
he declares, will never succeed in be-
ing merely a new organ of social re-
form" The mission Of the church is
first of all to the souls Of men, and If
it degenerates into an annex to a la
bor-union, an employment agency, or a
charitable society, people. will fail to
see why they should join the annex
rather than the main body. The
church may cooperate with these
agencies, as with every good-work, but
should remember that its main work
is spiritual. He says Of the church's
function, peculiarly It's own"

rFrom the February NJ

in the history OF the world, certain
nations have always been looked TO fol
leadership in movements involving the
betterment and uplift of the race as
whole. In separate countries, certain
sections seem to give birth to people
of big souls and heroic minds, from
whom have sprung the influences
which have set in motion the reforms
that purified and saved the country. In
America these men have come many
times, in cases of emergency, from the
great middle west Lincoln was from
Illinois, John Brown was from Kansas
And now, in an emergency almost
equal to that of sixty years ago, Sena-
tor Cummis is from Iowa.
OF the same type, equal in daring, as
clear in decision. as loyal to the highest
interest Of the people. is a man who
will be sent to congress from the Sew
enth iowa congressional district at the
next election. Three times this candi-
date has contested his right to seat
in congress with Capt. J. A. T. Hull
This fourth time he is to win. The
people of the Seventh district want
Judge Prouty for their representative
and they are going to have him.
Som ething of the pathos of q mother
less child. the loneliness of growing
boy, the eager fight and victories OF
the growing man, and the splendid con-
quests of later yeas are apparent to
all who meet Judge Prouty and are
won over to his cause both by his per-
sonal appeal and the business of his
argument.

TRIALS OF THE RETIRED FARMER
[Grundy Democratl

| A number Of farmers who have been
| in the harness for some forty years
| have moved to town this spring as
some of them do every March. They
expect to come in to spend their declin-
ing years In peace and comfort. After
| a while they do, but not in the begin
| ming. The first few months in town to
the man who has grown gray and stoop
shouldered on the farm seem like the
last two months before the wedding
day Of an old maid of IS, who for
twenty years tried to snare someone.
There is not another man on earth who
is more miserable when he is out OF a
job than a good farmer. One of these
who has lived in town only two weeks
was asked yesterday. when he left
the farm and he said Il was only two
weeks but it seemed like two years.
This man can't stand on street corner
a minute without turning his face to
the old farm he left behind. He has
a COW and horse and he curries them
both as often as the town clock during
the day. He will take off the storm
windows in the forenoon and in the af-
ternoon he will put them back on again.
He has got a pair of hands that simply
won't let him rest. They have been
used to pitching into something. They
haven't learned how to take it easy.
They may learn the taking easy habit
after a while. There are many in town
that can set them a good example.
The fellow who can sit comfortably on
a dry goods box on the sunny side Of
a building and squirt stream of to-
bacco as long as rainbow from 1 o.
m. until chicken roosting time while
the wife is putting out the neighbours
wash, can teach the retired farmer the
meaning Of peace and comfort and he
will do it for the price of cl1aw of
tobacco every fifteen minutes, and in
the meantime he Will show him how
them trusts are driving us all to hell
and back"

FRENCH OLD AGE PENSIONS.

France has developed scheme of
old age pensions which seems to come

OF pensioning the aged than any other
as yet evolved. The scheme is being
carefully considered and is very likely
to be adopted 1t differs radically from
the British plan of old age pensions
where the entire pension is paid by
the state in that it forces the prospect

female, s1.20 annually. Each boy under

from the prospective pensioner and

from pensioners and employers. No
pension will be paid to those who have
not been 80 years wage workers, and
who have attained the age Of 65 It is,
however, provided that a pension may
be claimed at So from the pensioners
and employers fund only, no state

Thrift Not Always Economy.
rCharles Zueblin.1

Thrift, IL 1t means saving and pinch
ing to the exclusion of everything else,
narrows the mind and life and is much
to be avoided. The thrift and economy
which often is born from hardship and
deprivation Is most unfortunate, but
the thrift which comes from spending
wisely will mean saving wisely Saving
Is more dangerous than spending. The
French peasant who can live decently
on nothing year and Marktaam's
Man with the Hoe" are not individuals
to be emulated. Thrift leads often to
a life that Is not admirable. The con-
ditions of the early jewellers in New
England made the splendid qualities of
puritanism, but they also created quail
tiles which were q menace to society,
and the Puritan conscience was one OF
them. Too much saving Is for the In
dividual advantage but for the public
disadvantage. II all the people put
their money away. investments would
be Of no account. There is always
danger when the saving propensity be-
comes paramount that niggardliness
may result, and that overthrift may be
an insidious menace to character. Even
he who begins with saving to protect
his family may end with negiecting his
family to save. We must save some
thing, but It is constant danger. The
thrifty individual is In danger OF be-
coming miser.
There must be some other way OF
saving. More attention must be paid
to collective thrift. And the best
method Of this Is the building ASSOC
citation and the Insurance company
principle. Tho question OF peasioning

he was elected to the chair of Latin

he held four years.

In 1899 the ntotherless boy Of 1854
became Judge Prouty, and made a fine
record on the district bench. His per

gressional fight, he was beaten each
time by the corporations. by small ma
