THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

One Brandies, an Eastern Wis
ionary from the East, in speaking
recently down in Nebraska, made
the statement that the country need
a business man in the presidential
chair and that La Toilette was the
man for the place. Great Jehose-
phat and jumping crickets; La Fol
lette business man. Why the
statement would make a craven i'm
age smoker right out loud. No one
has ever accused him of anvthinp
OF the kind, not even his dearest
trends. Ever since he left the
state university, he has Just been
an office seeker and an office holder
and his business acumen has been
demonstrated in his ability to work
men with money to aid him in reach
ing his end. Ask Uncle Ike: and as
for his business qualifications ask
Hoard, Davidson, Bancroft and a
score of others who are acquainted
with his business methods.

Ancient Proofreadino,

The editions of books printed 200 or
300 years ago are almost entirely free
from typographical errors, which may
be attributed to the fact that early
publishers were generally eminent
scholars and themselves gave much
attention to the revision of their proofs.
After reading the proofs they frequent
~ turned them over to other scholars
With the request to revise and correct,
and as the printers time was then
deemed a matter of small consequence
perfection was attained which is
seldom equaled by modern printers

Clippings from Religious Press.

Why is it that SO many men and
women whose only real offence is
that they love human liberty and
justice, must freeze and starve and
rot and die in the hell-holes of this
earth? And why is it, that the name
of God is so often on the lips of
those who crush their fellow men
And why is it that the history of
human progress is the story of the
martyrdom of man.-Uuiversalist

1t is the mark of all men who see
man as Christ saw him, to believe
in the moral recovery of man. The
church with spiritual insight will
see not only the possibilities in man
but the power in God. Seeing the
inability of man to escape God and
the hunger of God for man, such a
church will attack the spiritual
problem of its own community with
confident boldness. There never
was religious survey made of any
community where a spiritually en-
thusiastic, seeing, confident church
was found, that it was not recog-
nized by the community as force
for righteousness and spiritual heal
ing. When the community is dead
spiritually, it is usually found that

In all our churches, a frmer faith
that God can here and now change
the lives of men, would retain in
utilization with orthodox churches
some who now drift into Christian
Science or are allured by the So

sources of peace and happiness,

Mr.. Koch is an exceedingly worthy
