REBCKING THE PROFESSIONAL
EVANGELIST.

The other day there was national
convention of evangelists in Chicago.
The first thing they did-the principal
topic of their session, in fact-Was
the serious consideration of methods.
What they said and what they intend
to do, hereafter, will make their work
more agreeable to mankind and far
more profitable to them in saving
souls.
EVANGELICAL work doesn't count as it
should because of the smear of pro-
fessionalism across it. The early
evangelists were men called to their
work; white-souled, red-blooded fell
lows who bore hardship, poverty, mis-
trust, the opposition of the Journalists
and the active hostility of the sinners
But they made good" in their own
lives and so in their work.
Some of these men still exist-more
than the world takes heed of, for their
modest pleas are smothered in the
Grassland din of the professional
evangelists. These latter go into evan
geHsm as a business. Some are relig-

It is a we1l-known fact that women

unfortunate for them, because women's

should exercise the greatest care in
selecting the laXatives they take.

frequently leads to many other more

TAFT'S CHARMING REPLY TO
BRYAN'S SUGGESTION.

One of the most charming speeches
that President Taft has ever delivered
was that before the Lotus Club, at its
dinner the other night He was in
his best vein, strain of humor run
ming through all his remarks like a
CLINT Of genial sunshine, and his ser
ious utterances being such as 10
awaken interest without appealing to
lactional discord.
One Of the most amusing phases Of
his speech was the section relating -
Bryans utterance as to the disposition
of our ex-presidents. Mr. Bryan sug-
gested that they be given seats in the
Senate with full power of debate, but
debarred from voting. Their voices,
the Nebraskan thought, would carry
considerable weight and authority
and they would be in position, from
their experience in governmental mat
ters, t. render signal service to the
country
President Taft did not jump to the
suggestion with the avidity that
hungry trout shows in the spring time
when the tempting fly flashes before
its vision. On the contrary, he could
conceive of no worse fate than for an
ex-president TO be consigned for the
remainder of his mortal existence to
the Senate Chamber His delightfully."-

sarcastic remarks along this line are
we'll worth reading Said he:

the treatment of eX-Presidents. The

Il observe that our friend, Mr.. Bry-
an proposes another method of dispOs-
ing of our ex-Presidents. MIR. Bryan
has not had exactly the experience Of
being President He has been a
near President three times and pos
sibly that qualities him as an expert

our eX-presidents He has been very

ions, he / to perform the office of

dent after one term. AS a Warwick
and as a maker of eX-Presidents /
think we should give great and re-
spectful attention to his suggestion.
Instead of ending the presidential life
by chloroform, he proposes that t
should expire under the anaesthetic
effect of the debates of the senate He
proposes that eXPresidents should lie
confined to the business of sitting in
the senate and listening to the dis
cussions in that body. Why Mr.. Bry-
an should think it necessary to add to
the discussion in the senate the lucu-
brations of ex-Presidents, | am at a
loss to say. If l must go and disap-
pear into oblivion, prefer to go by
the chloroform or lotus route. It's
