WILL CARROLL APPolN17

Will Governor Carroll appoint
United States senator? That is the
uuestion in Iowa politics today. 1t Is
paramount to the other question as 20
who Will the Legislature elect for II
comes first. Will Governor Carroll ap-
point and if he does who will be ap-
point You tell
It is a reasonable certainty that the
governor will never think Of being so
reckless as TO venture an appointment
before election. There is no accession
for so much personal risk as that but
Jan IL there will be time in which
to appoint a United States senator and
until Jan. 1 Of that period Governor
Carroll will be there to do the ap-
Porter who is TO be the next governor
of Iowa. Then the elements OF risk
will have given way TO the certainty of
the election judges returns and Gov
whomsoever he pleases, LATE Young,
Jim Trewin. Walter I. Smith or any
other man. Will he do it?
That is the question and if it re-
mains unanswered on election day it
is likely to f1aunt a danger flag in the
faces of 100, 600 voters or more, 1t is
likely to make history.
Until the governor speaks for him
self it may be ventured as a political
gamble that he will choose before cleo
ton day his own political safety above
constitutional privilege which involves
no public necessity for him to exercise.
1t may be ventured that before election
day Governor Carroll will seek to dis
pei uncertainty in the eyes Of doubling
republican voters by telling the public
that inasmuch as the legislature is to
meet in January he can see no pub
lie necessity for him to appoint a SEN
ator for December In this way can
he avoid the danger of having many
republican votes cast for democrat
for governor merely as a protest to a
possible undesirable appointment. BY
making the declaration before election
he will have dispelled resentment from
the minds Of voters Who have obiec-
tions to Late Young or Jim Trewtn
or to Walter l. Smith as senator. He
will have saved some bacon insofar as
bacon can be saved and he will have
performed logical, wise and judicious
public act. But then this is only a
gamble with the prophets.
Will Governor Carroll appoint a SEN
ator? That is the question You tell
or let the governor tell

THE OLD MEN WHO HANG ON.

THE OLD MEN WHO HANG ON.
GCedar Rapids Republican,.
There are lot Of old men who might
as well make up their minds to get out
of political offices. Aldrich and Hale
have already announced their coming
retirement. They are wise in their day
and generation. No men or set of men
can expect to hold on forever Men get
rold in office and grow seedy or ultra
conservative. They keep on growing
that way until a revolution breaks out.
New blood must be admitted at stated
times. also new ideas. Men are at
their best between the ages Of forty
and sixty. for legislative and other
public work After they have passed
sixty they begin to decline. There are
a few who keep up their enthusiasms
and their energies. but not many. But
many of them insist in holding on. In
the end they awaken their own party
or their own following. Many a party
or faction has gone down with a man
who was too old to hold the office
which he desired. There are exceptions
to such rules, like the late Senator AL
lison, but they are men of remarkable
ca cities or wonderful training But
for the most part the aged statesmen
those who support them.
GOOD ROADS IN NEW YORK

I spent several weeks in Canand-
aigua, II. Y, this fall, and took dozens
of rides in every direction. and was
astonished to see the superb roads. One
splendid specimen was the highway
from Canandaigua to Rochester. And
when l say 1t was as perfect road as
any macadamized road in the British
Isles, Italy, or Germany, or elsewhere,
that is praise high enough, but the
praise does not overtop the reality. It
is not puffery, but the simple truth.
good country road practically
abolishes distance and rubs space off
the map. It is sanitary. for it tempts
people out-of-doors, into sun baths.
Folks in York state think nothing OF
a1toing hundred miles to make a call

A CRIMINAL NEeLEc1.

A neglected child is a probable GRIM
inal. Most children who go to Jail and
the reform schools are orphaned or
worse than orphaned. Count those
whom you have known, consider the
circumstances OF their childhood and
make your own knowledge and obser-
walton your guide. Neglected, children
are the nainstay of the police courts
and the penitentiaries.
The general neglect of the problem
Of neglected children is astonishing,
more than astonishing, it is inconceiv-
able. While we are building larger
churches no church is recalled to mem

the neglected children The Y. NJ c. A.

The humane officers and the truan.
officers are about the only ones who
know how these children exist and
their knowledge is not seriously in
evidence.
Isn't it strange that we are stirred to
the heart and thence to the pocket by
the terrible condition of the fottentots
when the child heather play in the
cutters of our own cities under our
eyes? Isn't it peculiar that a disaster
in Italy opens the purses and sends
clink Of gold around the world while
children in need and dire extremity
suffer the loss of childhood and the op-
portunities of life thru criminal me-
glect?
When are we to have a home for the
children, home mind you, not
prison. A school for manhood and
womanhood whence we can show God
the finished product? In the state of
Iowa the Soldiers Orphans Home has
come nearest to the demand for a

the RELIGIOUS OUTLOOK.
An undsIivsrsd and Unpublished Ad-
dress BY the Late Goodwin Smith.

(NeW York SUM.
Note by Arnold Haultain: A few
years before his death Mr.. Goodwin
Smith was asked by the pastor OF the
Unitarian Church of Toronto, Canada,
to deliver an address to the congrega-
ton at meeting held shortly before
the pastor was called away to another
charge. After some hesitation, he as
sented, and prepared the address here
printed; but owing to his sense of the
growing feebleness Of old age, he ask
ed at the last moment to be allowed to
decline. The address. therefore, altho

never either delivered or published.
II express myself with caution lest
should be mistaken to villify reason,
which is indeed the only faculty we
have wherewith to judge concerning
anything, even revelation itself, or be
mistaken to assert that a supposed
revelation can not be proved false from
internal character, for it may contain
clear immoralities or contradictions,
and either Of these would prove it
false.
So says Bishop Butler, author Of

surely an appeal to reason. Let US
hear no more then OF the antagonism
between faith and reason. or of our be-
ing robbed of our faith because reason
is allowed free course. Reason. rightly
used, may rid us Of misbeiief: it can
not rob US Of faith.
1t is inconceivable that the author Of
our nature should tell us one thing thru
the one faculty of Judgment which he
has given us, another by supernatural
communication. 1t Is uncomfortable
that he should tell US thru our reason
that the earth goes around the sun.
by revelation that the sun goes around
the earth. 1t is still more inconceiv-
able, if possible, that he should imprint
one morality of our hearts, and by
revelation sanction it's opposite. as pas
sa ges in the Old Testament, II we be-
lieved them to be dictated by Deity,
would do.
The Ministry of Today and Yesterday.

pressed his regret that the ministry
was not attracting to it the kind Of
men who formerly chose this calling.
The comparison between men OF the
past and those OF today found in the
pulpit. implied by his words. is ques-
toned by the editor OF the New York
Christian Advocate, on the ground
that the Judge may be at fault in not

Jesus as rightfu owner according to

The instrument was given, according
to the probate court records. in con-
sbderation OF the love and good will OF
the Saviour and one cent found in one
OF the buildings.

some cases wherein the minister him

we read this:
