OF RIGHT AND WRONG

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL
President James j. Hill of The
Great Northern Railroad before Stan
ley investigating committee on Tues
day in answer to a question as to
whether he would favor government
control of business said
Il would lay down the law of right
and wrong. l would limit the power
of corporations. | would see tNat
every corporation that started busi-
ness put all the money in, and would
not be jealous on account of the size
OF the corporation. | wouldn't permit
any watering of stock. ] would see
the 100 cents on every dollar was
put up and that money was on hand
to take care of it,"
Now this came from the president
Of The Great Northern Railroad. He
is acknowledged TO be one of the
greatest organizers and one of the
most successful railroad manipula-
tors in the world.
In this short paragraph he has in
carnated everything that every pro-
gressive and every insurgent asks for
or expects. 1t is no more than any
Just man has a right 20 ask for 1t is
no less it will be found than Just
men and brave men will continue TO
fight for until II is brought about.
What Mr.. Hill would have for us and
for himself is just exactly what we
have not got and herein lies all our
trouble and turmoil President Hill
not only sees what is the matter but
he points the way out The light
is breaking.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
IDEA OF DEATH.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
In your issue of the 9th you make
the following quotation from an arti-
Gle which / contributed to the New
England Magazine: "Since the real
life of the universe is God, and hence
eternal, It follows that life cannot end
or be suspended. Those who pass
through the transitional experience
termed death still are conscious of
individual existence and continue
their spiritual advance" BY way Of
comment it is said: Nevertheless,
the Christian Science Publishing
Company is sponsor for a volume en-
titled Editorial Comments on the
Life and Works of Mary Baker Eddy
gathered chiefly from non-church
publications, in which Mrs. Eddy
naturally enough is referred to as
dead This abstract statement
does not give an adequate under
standing Of the teaching of Christian
\ Science. Christian Scientists re-
cognize the peculiar phenomenon
which is called death, but they agree
with a host of other religionists that
this is only a transitional experience.
that il does not mean a cessation of
life, that those who pass from this
life continue their individual exist
.enoe and continue to advance. They
do not, however, believe that those
who have passed from this world will
return thereto. We are all more con-
icerned in the question as to what the
experience called death means than
we are in the technical meaning OF
the term. Evidently the Master OF
Christianity did not like the name TOT
on two different occasions he re-
pudiated it. He said Of the damsel
She lis not dead" meaning of course
chat his belief as TO what had hap
pened to the damsel disagreed with
the belief which was entertained by
others about him.
Yours truly,
Alfred Farlow.

This: A Dublin man, a great admirer

youths in a Dublin back street Tight

and persuaded the combatants to de-

dozen friends to arbitrate.'
"Hurrahi" yelled the crowd. DO

Having seen the II arbitrators Sc

the man OF peace went on his way re-
ioicing in the thought of having once
again prevailed upon brute force to
Weld to peaceful agreement. Half an
hour later he returned that way and
was Mortified to find the whole street
fighting. while in the distance police
whistles could be heard blowing ana
constables seen rushing to the spot
from all quarters.

DOCS MUST DIE.
 SAYS COUNCIL
.V0ITUI HT1 Regardless of Tags Every Canine at Large Without a Muzzle, is Legitimate Prey for Shooting Squad of Six Men.

Every dog in this town must die un- less he is kept tied up or is securely muzzled when it is at large. That is the order of the city council and all the facts in the case necessary for the guidance Of the dog owner, are con- tained in that first sentence The dog tag is just as necessary as ever for those cannes that do run loose with muZzles on but tag or no tag, they must go to the boneyard if they have no muzzle
 This fiat went forth last night from the city council chamber and a special force of six men was provided for to perform the work of destruction. These men will not be required to capture the dog first and examine him for tags but are authorized to begin shooting just as soon as the discover a dog without a muzzle. It is complained by some that they cannot buy muZzles at the stores to fit their dogs. The at tention of these people is called to the fact that any harness maker can make a 'muzzle and a dog owner can make one himself if he will take the trouble to do so. But regardless of the trouble or inconvenience of providing muzZles, It must be done. It is the law and the city council says that for the present it must be rigidly enforced. And the council has reasons it regards suffi- cient, in support of it's action

MANY BLOCKS
 ARE SWEPT
Street Commissioner Carr Keeping Nearly Three Miles of Paved Streets Clean With Two Sweep CTS and Force of Men.

Including those downtown alleys which have already been paved, the city street department under the di rection of Street Commissioner Griggs H. Carr, now has thirty-siX city blocks of street surface to wash and sweep nightly This does not include those portions of the streets where some of the property owners have not yet au thorized the laying of the new pave ment in front of their holdings.
 Under the system inaugurated by MT Carr and carried out by Street Foreman Frank Smith, three sprink lers spend the first three hours of each evening in wetting down the streets to be swept. Then the two sweepers are placed in commission and one sprink- Ter is retained to precede the sweep CTS and keep the pavement at the nec- essary degree of wetness.
 Besides the big rollers sweepers, seV- en men are kept at work with brooms, sweeping the gutters and clearing the fumes. One wagon is sufficient to haul away the sweepings. Incidentally the gutters are flushed with fire hose, so that when the work is finally com pleted in each block, the surface pre- sents as cleanly an appearance as though new pavement had just been laid.
 Through the daytime three white wings are constantly at work in the business district, and armed with broom, shoveI and small refuse wagon are enabled to keep the busiest streets in first class shape at all times The garbage wagons haul away the sweep ings of the white wings.
 Commissioner Carr said that he promised city council and the citizens generally that he would give them clean streets if he were given the prop CT apparatus and he believes that he is keeping his promise.

DISSENTING MINISTER IS DEAD
Charles voysey Was Last English Clergyman Convicted of Heresy.

There died at his home in Hamp- stead the other day man who leap ed into fame as a religious reformer more than forty years ago. This was Charlees Voysey, the last clergyman of the Church of England to be ex- pelled for heresy, and the founder of the Theistic church in London.
 His prolonged trial, which lasted from the spring of 1869 to February 1871. had given his views a bold ad- vertisement and had attracted a good many freethinking friends, who in vited him to found Theistic church.
 Theism does not seem to have spread, for Voysey's is the one and only Theistic church in London. Yet he had an enormous circle of readers Since 1S71 when the prosecution for heresy made him famous, more than million copies of his sermons have been distributed. Every sermon which he has preached has been printed and circulated in many parts of the world, the issue being twelve hundred week.-New York Sun.
