The philosophy Of today speaks in an
almost unanimous voice in interpret
ing life as both spirit and matter. 1t
is impossible for men now to live
to themselves; they cannot be sepa.
rated from the masses, and the great.
est progress has been made in socio-
logical science. The speaker declar-
ed that not all the men who wore
long hair and who wanted to divide
up the accumulations OF other We're
socialists. There were students and
societies in every great university in
the world advocating socialistic doc
trines. Enormous changes in our So
cial life were being seen in every dec
ade. China to-day is nearer to us
than California was so years ago.
Great strides have been made by pio-
neers in development work. in Africa,
India, South America, but the first
great pioneers, the persons who first
became conscious Of the unity of races
we're the great missionaries of the
church who have gone into the wilds
of foreign lands, on the remotest con-
fines Of civilization, and blazed the
way for the efforts of commerce and
better government. These men felt
the "call of the wild" and they an.
swered it with their noble lives and
their exalted ideas of the brotherhood
MANKIND.

+. Carpenter of Ross. North Dakota
The address before the graduates
was delivered by Rev. Henry c,
Swearingen Of st. Paul.
1t was a strong address and review
ed the great work being accomplished
throughout the country by the men
and women who give their time,
their IFS efforts, and their leans
to promote the cause of Christian
education: and in the ranks of this
educational service he predicted that
jamestown College would be found
a staunch and effective soldier in the
cause. DR.. Swearingen among other
things said:
This is not a jamestown institu-
ton, although the people of this city
who have re-established the college
on an enduring foundation, may well
be proud Of its existence among them.
1t is an institution that belongs 10
the state, to the northwest, to the ell
tire country. 1t is a public i~nst!tu-
ton and there is honor enough in the
city having such a school located
within its boundaries. The full tide
of blessings will come when the cred
it which this institution will bring
to the state, and to the community,
is realized. jamestown college is an
institution now firmly established and
which has been male possible by
those who believe in the college and
its destined work in these western
states. The college brings a chal-
lenge of the Kingdom TO God, and it
comes to prepare the thoughts of the
people for an appreciation and better
understanding of the higher and mob
Ter aspirations OF life
The speaker declared that he had
never before realized the privilege of
living in the west. Born in the east,
he had sOmehcw always entertained
a faint idea and breath of the atmOs-
phcre of the American west. But {.
short residence in this part of this
great country, had changed his earli-
est fancies. He declared that in the
west there is the inspiration of new.
life and hope. The western world
ean much to men of middle age,
and to young men, and makes it i'm
possible for residents of the great
west to live in the past. Not lispar-
aging the east, it is seen that in the
west lies the spirit of opportunity
and that here all look to the future.
In the procession O. the great work
ers for the uplift of the moral and
religious status Of the west. James
town College will take a prominent
part, and will help solve the problem
of the meaning of life. What is this
meaning Is it the accumulation of
land, or of railroad stocks, the con-
structoin of canals. skyscrapers, or
features of engineering? Not entire
ly. The world, declared the speaker,
is being intelligently and powerfully
governed and is moving toward a goal.
In the last 20 years great charges
have come. in the views of scienti flc
men The old school taught hat
matter is aloLe the basis of life, that
the atom was the secret, and the spir-
it only A Inference. Modern phil
os0phy and modern scientific men now
hold that matter-is the mystery, and
that the spirit is the more Ineligible.

NOW THEY CAN HAND IT TO THE
PROPERTY OWNERS

Washington, Oct. 3o.-In passing
the Kenyon "red-light" bill, the SEN
ate of the United States has joined
with twelve states in enunciating
new policy in dealing with the baf-
fling question of prostitution.

lumbia," said Senator Kenyon, dis
cussing the bill, there as no way to
reach the property where these dis
orderly houses are conducted. The
inmates can be reached, dragged be-
fore the police court and fined, but
the owner of the property goes on I'M
molested. The testimony before the
committee by the chief of police was
to the effect that many of these dis
reputable houses are owned by prom

inent people of Washington, and such
ownership is true as to prominent
people in many other cities. Such
places, which ordinarily would rent
for a very small sum, are rented at
very high figures for these purposes.
The man who owns such property
ought not to be the one who can go
scot-free and be permitted to coin
the flesh of these women and girls
into money for his own purposes"
In addition to closing house of
prostitution and forbidding its use for
one year (unless bond is furnished
to insure that it will not be so used in
future) the bill imposes heavy tax
penalty on owners convicted of using
property for this purpose.
''The purpose of that provision"
said Senator Kenyon, "is simply this:
Where the man who owns such
places and wants to coin money out
of them is not touched in his pocket
book you can not stop him; he will
go right on just the same and rent
the property again; but when he is
subject to a tax he will be more care
full"
This so-called iowa red-Ight
law" already adopted by eleven
other states, is to come before nu-
merous state legislatures this winter.
In the absence of measures which
will eliminate poverty-the principal
cause of prostitution-this Iowa law
has been found to be one Of the most
effective means of combating the evil.

details are concerned for a plan for the

was learned today.

be no pro rata distribution of Southern

nous surgeon and world wide author
fty on appendicitis, was kidnapped by
three foreigners and later released when

him for ransom.
The kidnapped boy. John Twin. four
teen years old, after being blindfolded
and tossed into covered wagon, was
held a prisoner five hours in an isolated
mouse west of Edge Hill.
