Notwithstanding we are living In
the twentieth century and stand on
the threshold of the brightest and
grandest civilization that the world
has ever known, there is crying and
a pressing need Of better educated
ministry. There is much need for> i'm
provement along this line. We do not
refer to this matter as matter OF
criticism, but as a matter OF SYM
pathy and pressing necessity. 1t Is
too late in these bright days OF civil
cation to have so much ignorance In
the pulpit. There are plenty of high
schools in this country to train young
men for the ministry that they may
intelligently and yet forcibly stand
on their feet and preach the gospel Of
truth.-The Baptist Reporter.

Up In Pittsburg. Pa, diamond
edition of q man-weighs 120 pounds
has been divorced from his wife
a quarto edition of a woman weighing
300 pounds-because he insisted on
using her as a sort of furnace. He
returned home cold one night and as
there was no fire he pulled OF his
footgear and clapped his feet to his
wife's back and kept them there till
they got warm. Just how he did this
Is not mentioned, but we suppose he
stood up on her. Any way, she sued
for and got a divorce. She claimed
that for ten years he had abused her
in various ways, such as dragging
her down stairs" had beaten her
up" spit tobacco juice on the table
and her feet" pushed a revolver I'M
der her nose and yelled, smell that"
But this thing of warming his feet at
her back was the straw-or feet-that
broke tho cameps-his wife's-back!
The little fellow had nerve all right,
but where In the dickens did he get
his strength from?

A BIG TARlFF PoIkT.

For fifteen years, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, republican protec-
tive tariff has been in force. In this
time exports of American manufac-
turers have grown from 1928, 900, 600
to over s1.oO0,00o,00o, and the in
crease IS going on rapidly at this
time. July. the first month of the
new fiscal year, showed a heavy gain
in this respect, with total of sos,
10000, against 100000 in the cor.
responding month last year. For
seven months beginning January j
last year this country has exported
manufactured articles valued at s637,
100000. against $4,000, 900 in the
first seven months of 1911. Speaking
Of progressives, here is something
solid to talk about, and the figures
are those of established facts. Elk
ports of our manufacturers have In
creased more than fourfold under the
/ Dingley law and the Payne law.
1t is proposed by the Democratic
party TO demolish protection, TIN
basis on which these results hav,
been achieved. When the Dingley Law
was passed Democratic leaders de
clared that ii would destroy our for
eign trade. They We're completed
mistaken Our trade abroad ha
greatly expanded, and most Of all i
manufactured products. Many article
. made in America are now preferre
by foreign consumers Our manufat
turers, artisans and inventors hav
moved upon and captured many ma
kets since Republican protection turf
ed the tide this way by encouragin
American enterprise to do it's bes
under tariff safeguards. America
wages have been maintained and rea
) enable American profits protecte,
The war now undertaken against
e protective tariff ignores figures tn;
! are absolutely conclusive

HON. JOHN &. CRAIG.

The criticism often lies against the
minority party in a state that is one
sided politically that it does not exer-
else proper care and Judgment in the
choice OF nominees for official posi-
lions. Realizing that it cannot hope
to elect those whom it honors with
its endorsement, it Is tempted to ill
its ticket with whatever material is
available, within, in all cases, careful
scrutiny of its character. Whatever
of merit this criticism may have in
certain instances it does not apply to
the Democratic party of Iowa in its
choice of Hon John z. Craig of this
city for the supreme bench of the
state. The Gate City has no political
affiliations in common with Mr..
Craig. but it is free TO say that his
nomination reflects credit upon the
party that made him its nominee for
supreme Judge He has been a resi-
dent of this city practically all his
adult life and has earned recognition
as a leader at the bar and in politics.
