of the county judge. There was not
a full committee present. On the con-

The canvass did not materially
change the result as told in The Jour

will be again between Mr.. Williams

The totals as given out after the
committee had made an examination
of each return from each of the couu-

we need only TO open our eyes to see
such agencies as the Young Mems
and Young women's Christian associa-
tions, the Christian Endeavor, the
Laymen's Missionary movement the
institutional church and score of
other organized agencies of religious
propaganda. The fact is, while there
is, OF course, much to be desired, the
present-day church work is more mill
tsnt, more aggressive and directed
with more intelligent discrimination
and businesslike method than ever be-
fore. Some of the churches, the one
to which DR.. Coyle belongs among
them, is taking hold of the labor and
social problems at good place and
are placing specialists in charge of the
work.
This may be an age of religious in
difference, but it is not necessarily an
age of irreligion. And those who
look back to the dark days to which
Dr. Coyle points us and then make
comparisons must feel that the church
is at least keeping up with the
progress being made by the other
forces of our social and economic life.

Railing Against the Auto.

Chancellor Day of Syracuse univer-
city is newly distressed because the
people of the United States have in
vested $500, 900, 900 in the automobile
trade and he fears the consequences
upon our national character of such
rampant and vulgar prodigality. He
is convinced the auto is a curse be-
cause 1t is a luxury that is too often
not sacrificed.
At first glance this arraignment
suggests a measure of truth, but the
automobile is not by any means purely
luxury; it is serving a unitarian
purpose as we'll as affording new
means of enjoyment. 1t is simply one
milestone that marks off another era
of progress in the natural and logical
development of a. rapidly advancing
world. 1t is the carriage of the TWEEN
tieth century, coming into vogue now
only because this is its time and day,
and the strange thing about it is that
its advent is provoking exactly the

tive, but how does that statement com.
port with the patent fact that its man
ufacture, sale and use have opened uI
new channels Of industry, giving EN-.
! ployment to thousands. The time
will come no doubt when the auto will
seem almost as prosaic as the carriage
and the coach, and then we will be
listening to this periodical preachment
against the airship, if that Is to be oul

The Excuses of zealots.

It is a very common trait for people
enlisted in any movement protesting
to aim at reform or betterment to per-
suade themselves of the righteousness
of their cause, and then TO ascribe base
or mercenary motives to everyone
who disagrees with them. The idea
that anyone equally honest could see
things differently escapes them en-
tirely, and the hardihood that cham
pions the other side of the issue seems
to them not merely preposterous, but
explainable only by some selfish or
self-seeking purpose.
Examples in point are constantly
brought to public attention. Here in
Nebraska just now we are confronted
with contest over the question of
prohibition, and, as was to have been
expected, the anti-saloonists are en-
deavoring to claim a monopoly of vir-
tue, honesty and patriotism. Through
their official organ they have already
arranged the lineup and those oppos-
ing their program are all to be labeled
as brewers, saloon keepers, gamblers,
prostitutes, thieves, mercenaries, dis
charged anti-saloon league men. dis
credited preachers, or politicians who
think more of the money of the brew
ers than they do of the votes of the
people" To such narrow-minded
bigots, gauging other people by their
/ own measure, no one could possibly
advocate regulation of the liquor
traffic rather than prohibition through
any but unworthy motives
In very similar form the same sus-
picioue intoleranceis displayed in con-
nection with the proposed initiative
and referendum. One of the cham
pions of this millennium producer
clinches the argument by declaring
that those who oppose "either know
nothing about 1t or their motives are
or they know the people would never
support the crooked measures they
propose. From another source ar
equally convincing plea is constantly
heard, Are you afraid to trust the
people?" AS if it could not be posi-
bic that the question merely involved
choice of methods for the people tC
make their demands effective and tn,
establishment of reasonable safe
guards against vicious or ill-adviseC
legislation.
To be true, the disposition to i'm
pugn the motives of everyone in dis
agreement is not manifested exclu
sively by the zealots of frenzied re
form, but, unfortunately, it is seldom
lacking among them. There is, how
ever, always this saving clause, tina
the dishonest self-seekers whom the
denounce so severely can by changing
front quickly purge themselves and b.
Joining in the crusade become at one
self-sacrificing patriots assured of top
most inches in the hall of fame.

Medical School Standards

The investigation made by Abraham
Flexner, as special agent of the Carne-
gle foundation, into medical education
in the United States brings out some
pungent criticisms OF the system.
Naturally his view is from the stand
point of unlimited resources as against
the smaller school with limited
finances, but in the main where it
strikes at the multiplicity of medical
colleges and the lack of thorough
training in some of them, the report
will be received as a substantial con-
tribution to public information.
we have 155 medical schools in this
country, which DR.. Fexner thinks is
about five times too many, and most
people will agree that 1t is at least
more than we need. Nearly every
American community has more physi-
clans than it requires and could part
with many of them without impairing
it's chances Of longevity or good health.
We have one doctor to every 53S per-
sons in the United States, while in Ger
many, where they have an ample sup
ply, the ratio is but one to 1000, and
1t is notable that Germany stands high
in medical science.
The principal fault laid to our Amer
lean schools is that their standards for
admission are too low Many of them
of course not all-receive students
who have had no more than a high
school education. This invites and
encourages the injection of poor ma
terial into the profession of medicine,
The Carnegie foundation would fix the
minimum basis OF entrance require
ment at two years in college, which il
surely low enough. 1t should be diff
cult to place the standard too high OF

Style, Art and Taste

Connoisseurs of European capitals,
rich with their gilded galleries and
museums of old masters, have long
tainted Americans because we do not
devote as much thought and time to
art as we do to money and, while it
is purely incidental, they have entirely
missed the humor of our inartistic mil
lionaires paying fictitious sums for all
the rubbish which Europeans could
unload upon them as "Old Masters"
The point is that the people in the
United States, having first acquired
wealth, are now turning their atten-
ton somewhat to art, and this no
doubt is the logical system, for thing
as delicate as art could scarcely hope
to subsist without substantial re-
sources as a foundation. A year ago
we formed what is known as the
American Federation of Arts and since
that time and under its auspices con-
siderable progress has been made, al
though we admit having still room for
development
To begin with, we must rid our
minds of the notion that style is art,
and understand that art cannot exist
amid inartistic surroundings. Some
of these extreme modes in dress which
we have adopted from those same
Paris and London critics will have to
be discarded before art can make
much Roadway. fhey may be strictly
proper, but what does art, tine most
concrete of al forms of expression, -
care for prophecies? OF course. IL we
admit that cuelrni and taste make art,
then we may AeHp the top-shaped
trousers with their bottom cuffs and
the cork-screw skirt with its hoop hur-
dies and rainbow hat. These things
are doubtless as artistic in America as
they are in Europe, anyway.
But in architecture the American
people are making actual progress to-
ward the artistic. Apparently they
are more sensible in this than they are
in their manner of dress, and all over
