Anent Church Attendance

In every congregation there are
those who do not attend the services:
but they want the preacher to know
that they have been with them in
spirit. This class counts for little.
Some preachers are afraid of ghosts.
Imagine yourself preaching to one
thousand ghosts! One live man COM
posed of real flesh and blood is
worth more to a preacher when it
comes to preaching than one thou
sand ghosts! If you have only been
coming to church in spirit, just try
bringing your body along next Lords
Day. 1t will be more effective.
1t is impossible to live the Chris
tian life when we willfully stay away
from the house of God. Why did
Paul exhort the early disciples not
to forsake the assembling of them
selves together?

| Germany can no longer be pointed
to as the Nation that encourages beel
drinking. The Voice of Germany
the emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, has
spoken and called upon his people to
abstain. He says:
Il know very we'll that the pleas.
ure of drinking is an old heritage of
the Germans. We must henceforth,
however, thru self discipline free
ourselves from this evil in every con-
nection. | can assure you that |, in
my twenty-five year reign, have made
the observation that the greater num-
Der of criminal cases submitted to me
for adjudication-up to nine-tenths,
are traceable to the consequences of
alcohol"
This, together with the reports of
German scientists who are diligently
studying the evil effects of alcohol
upon the human body and upon the
social system, is causing the people
of Germany in increasing numbers
to give up the habit of drinking.
German-Americans can we'll follow
their example and help in the moral
uplift in this their adopted fatherland
of America

SPEAK OUT! SPEAK OUTW
Democratic Stomachs Revolt Against
Wilcon-Marshall Mush.

Speak out! Speak outl' is the al
most desperate cry OF the New York
World, the newspaper chiefly respon-
sible fer the nomination OF Woodrow
wilson in 1912, as it was for the nom
nation OF Alton B. Parker in 1904
Day after day. it seems, the World
has been waiting with ears to the
windward for some point. some virile,
vital expression from its latest prcsi-
dental jack out of the box on ques-
tions OF the hour, some solid, positive
utterance by the candidate, which it
could grab and lay about with as
campaign shillelah. 1t has waited in
vain. Rounded periods OF dreary
drivel, pedagogical commonplaces that
might have come out OF third reader
and which had about as much relation
to issues OF the campaign as at is
sin to steal a PIN has to Metropoli-
tan opera, have been fed to curious
crowds and to editors waiting with
whetted pens ior red hot meteors OF
inspiration.
Disappointment and disgust are not
confined to the World Office. 1--WE
asked you for bread and you gave us
a stone is paraphrased in Democritic
sentiment by 1--WE asked you for meat
and you gave us mush." Nauscated
with Wilson they turned to Marshall
only to find him as aperient of vacu-
Gus platitudes as his coadjutor.
It's a hopeless appeal. As well try
to seize the elusive tail OF a creased
pig at a county fair as expect TO get
anything definite out OF Wilson. He
was definite enough when he said in
his History OF the American Peo-
pie" that the Chinese are more to be
desired as workmen, if not as citi-
zens,'' than the coarse crew crowd
ing in at eastern ports is, i'm
migrants from Europe. He was def
mite enough in saying in the same
book that congress had dealt very
harshly" in passing the law excluding
Chinese from the United States. He
was definite enough in denouncing
immigrants from Poland, Hungary
and Italy.
Evidently Wilson can speak out if
he wants to, and the inference is that
he is afraid to. On the issue OF a
navy powerful enough to defend the
interests and uphold the honor OF the
United States he is silent for fear Of
offending the Democratic majority in
congress opposed to Strengthening
the navy On the tariff he is, to quote
an old comparison, neither man,
nor a mouse, nor long tailed rat,
but more like one OF those ancient
Egyptian monstrosities carved on the
mummy cases, with heads looking
contrariwise. On one point he is DEF
inite-he wants to be president, and
he doesn't care much how he gets
there. He is willing to slosh through
sea OF bosh to the White House
and now that he has the nomination
he counts upon the world and the
rest OF the whangdoodles to follow,
whether they like his style or not,
Perhaps they will, notwithstanding
grimaces OF disgust and protesting
cries to speak out.
But the people-they want man
for president.

ROOSEVELT WRONG AGAIN
Makes Another Statement Which Is
Absolutely False.

Colonel Roosevelt really has great
many things to his credit, and this
makes it all the more strange that he
should insist upon claiming credit to
which he has no shadow of title.
There is the pure food law for eX-
ample. 1t is notorious that this was
one of the measures in which he has
but little interest It is doubtful if he
ever SO much as mentioned the sub
ject to any member of congress while
the bill was pending. and it is entirely
certain that it would have passed.
even if he had actively opposed it, so
nearly unanimous was the sentiment
in congress in favor of it. And yet in
a recent letter to a man in Kansas
Colonel Roosevelt said that "the pure
food and drug bill became law pure
ly because of the very active part
took in getting it through congress-"
and adding that after gentlemen such
as Mr. Wiley had vainly urged the bill
he used men like Mr.. Garfield. then
secretary of the interior, and got i,
through.
But the truth is that Mr.. Garfield
was not appointed secretary of the In
terror until six months after the bill
was passed!
If it We're somebody else who had
set up so wholly unfounded claim
and had made so manifest misstate-
ment in connection with it, can you
not imagine how promptly the Colonel
Guild have nominated him for mem
bership in his famous club?
The Glenwood post., 1912-10-05

one of the simplest and c1earest OF
all. 1t WIS not denied that Taft had
carried the one district which was in
controversy. The only question was
whether the total vote of the state
should override the wishes of the Re-
publicans in this particular district,
and ii was decided as similar ques-
tions have been decided in Republi-
can conventions since 1880 Since
that date it has always been Che rule
that the congressional district should
be the unit for representation in Ma
tional conventions This congression-
al district in California declared its
preference for Taft and it certainly
had the right to have that preference
represented even though the majority
of the people in other districts pre-
ferred another candidate The Cali
fornia case is declared by the third
fermers themselves to be the strong
est one they had before the convention
and yet it falls to the ground COM
pletely when the simple facts are
known.
Attempted Steal for Roosevelt.
And so one by one these contests
could be taken up and it could be
shown to the complete satisfaction of
every fair-minded man that they were
determined according to the law and
evidence, There was no nomination
stolen at Chicago for President Taft.
There was a desperate attempt made
to steal the nomination for Col. Roose-
Velt but happily it was frustrated.
With the audacity which has always
characterized his political career, Col.
Roosevelt is attempting to divert the
attention OF the country from the man
ifest and admitted effort to steal the
nomination for himself by noisy and
vehement accusation of theft against
his competitor. 1t is time the truth
were known. It is time an end were
brought to the gross SANDERS against
the president of the United States and
against hundreds of honest and honor
able men who made up the convention
which nominated him.
Documents in which the truth re-
garding all these contests is carefully
set forth may be had by addressing
the Republican National committee,
Auditorium Hotel, Chicago. And if
any of the readers Of this paper still
have any lingering doubts in their
mind upon the subject, they should
secure copy of such documents. No
citizen of the United States should
allow himself to be led into an insult
ing clamor against the president OF
his country without a full understand
ing of all the facts in the case.

"PLAYING THE GAME" "
Truly, President Taft Does Not Follow
System Politically.

That is a criticism often heard of
President Taft. 1t is the professional
politician usually who voices it, but
often it is repeated by those who are
accustomed to take their estimates of
public men and their political opin-
ions from others.
Playing the game has been the oc-
cupation of time serving politicians
from time immemorial. Men who re-
gard politics as a game like to see it
played deity. Other men without
fixed ideas on the subject parrot the
criticism passed by the experts.
Playing the game in politics neces-
sarily has deceit as its fundamental
principle.
The public man who sees develop
ing an issue might prove embarrassing
to him personally, and who manages,
by guile, to divert public attention to
another, a lesser, but a perfectly safe,
issue, plays the game.
The public man who makes public
protestations OF his enmity toward
swollen wealth and then holds secret
conferences with the representatives
of that wealth, plays the game.
The public man who breaches one
code of political morality and prac-
The public man who utters sound
ing but empty phrases, no matter how
delightful his diction, or how superb
his eloquence, plays the game
The public man who makes prom
ises impossible of fulhllment plays the
lame.
The public man who puts the ac-
quirement of public favor above ideals
of public service plays the game.
Truly, President Taft does not know
how to play the game.
He has been reared in at atmos-
phere of service rather than politics.
as we have come to know politics
The thing that has always concerned
him is the doing of an act, not the
spectacular staging of it, nor the ex-
ploitation of it, nor, on the contrary,
the concealment of it. ...
To serve has always been his ideal,
not merely to acquire the appearance
of serving.
1t has been impossible for him to
look upon public service as a game
The public's business, as he regards
it, is serious business.
There is reason for the belief that
the American people as a whole share
with him this view. The growing in
tellieence of the nation is rejecting
the idea that the selection of their
public servants is merely sporting
proposition.
