statistical review Of protestant foreign

inquiry into Friedman's alleged spe-
cif1c for tuberculosis with a life and

have found a cure for consumption as
drowning persons clutch at the shadow

afflicted are anxiously waiting and ex-
pecting a certain specific for the dis
ease, confident that it will be found.
And each failure of extraordinary
claims for one discovery and another
brings pathetic disappointment and
hopelessness.
This expectant attitude is we'll
enough. The confidence in advancing
understanding and knowledge of dis
eases and their remedies is justified

Mr.. MANN'S MISTAKE.


When the outrageous occurrences in
Washington during the suffrage par
ade Monday were under discussion in
the house, Representative Hobson. OF
Alabama, related that a ruffian had
climbed onto float and insulted the
daughter of woman Of prominence.
Served her right. She should have
been at home" was. in substance, the
crusty comment Of Representative
Mann, of Illinois.
1t was comment that should noc
have been made and one Of which the
republican leader should be ashamed.
But he is not ashamed of it. He was
expressing his real sentiment.
Mr.. Mann was voicing the intolerance
of the old regime. 1t was repetition
in brief Of the recent TRADE Of Sena-
tor Root. Of New York, in opposition to
woman suffrage. These men do not
consider the woman suffrage move
ment upon its merits. but express the
opposition of powerful interests-inter-
ests that fear woman suffrage as the
imp Of darkness fears sunshine.

PRAYER Meeting. A..aiI.d.

The old-time weekly prayer meet
ing was condemned as nuisance by
Rev. E. F. Smell, pastor Of the Will
mette Congregational Ministers Union
in the Masonic Temple. In his re-
marks Mr.. Smell was supported by Rev.
John Best Of the Lawndale Avenue
Congregational church, who suggested
that the mid-week prayer meeting be
changed into a social affair.
From personal experiences and Wis
it's to various churches, it might seem
that the church is getting away from
prayer meetings." said Mr.. Smell. FOR
only about one tenth Of any congrega-
ton may be found at these meetings.
where there should be many times that
percentage.
"These meetings generally prove to
be dull and listless, with the pastor do
ing most Of the talking. He is COM
PEELED to do the talking, either
to awaken interest in the meeting or
to prevent some long-winded deacon
or member of the church from speak
ing too long on some dry topic. One
of the greatest burdens of the pastor
is the weekly prayer meeting. Prob
ably more ministers get discouraged
and resign their charges on account OIL
the weekly prayer meeting than 1or
any other cause.
What are the causes for this? Pray
er meeting were born in an early
century and times have changed. Pray
err belongs to the revival religion ana

meeting has not lent itself. to the part
Of social salvation. The spirit OF TO-DAY

GOOD OF THE WEBB LAW.
water1oo Times Tribune.


Mr.. Cosson. attorney general of Iowa,
is the first person in the state to dis
cover any particular good coming to
Iowa from the Webb law. passed by
congress over the presidents veto and
forbidding the shipment Of liquor from
wet state into dry state. He finds
that the law will be of some service
here and cites point:
The main point we gain in TINS biii
is that 1t permits us to seize liquor
which is enroute.. Foe instance We have
a case now on hand where liquor was
consigned to atiodge at Oskaloosa was
seized at the station on the ground
that ii was being shipped to be USED
for illegal purposes. The law is no.
now clear as to whether we had the
right to seize this liquor. Under the
Webb bill this liquor would be classed
as an illegal shipment and could be
stopped at any point after 1t was con-
signed, providing the shipment was
consigned to dry territory
In the first place, it would not be
difficult for lodges. societies. parties,
etc, to have goods shipped in the name
of an individual. that would constitute
a legal shipment. The average lodge or
society provides liquor to give away,
not to sell
Again, can, or will the federal gov
eminent follow up and trace ship
ment to the final consumer. Does Or
does not the authority of the federal
government end at the state line:
When property crosses the state line
it is domestic property. The one who
receives and sells the goods is sub
ject to state law and state police reg
ulation. The federal government has
only to do with it when the seller has
not a federal license The federal gov
eminent would not interfere with state
law any more than it would interfere
with the city ordinances of Waterloo
It is noticeable that the federal statute
provides no penalty for violation OIL
the Webb law.
But the law will do some good
LiGuor dealers, so long as the statute
is on the books will not ship goods &c

Of municipal fines each month. Inc

ANOTHER CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.

The Mann law is upheld by
the supreme court as constitutional"
in its provision that transportation Of
woman or girl in interstate or foreign
commerce for immoral purposes is the
crime of white slavery. and is pun
than five years and . fine or not more
than $4,000, the penalty being doubled
when the girl is under IS. Under this
law it is not necessary to prove abduc-
ton, kidnapping, or forcible detention Of
the white slave.
1t would have been unbelievable had
the supreme court upheld the right Of
white slavers to ship their victims and
slaves here and there untrammeled by
the law.
The white slavers argued that the
thing the Mann law forbids under the
interstate commerce law is not COM
merce at all but a police regulation and
belongs to the various states to en-
force. But the supreme court guessed"
differently.
The point is that whether the white
Slave traffic is to be termed COM
merce or not it was to be stopped.
That was the point. The country de-
nanded it. But suppose the supreme
court had decided that this traffic is
crime and not commerce and a matter
for state police regula ton and enforce
ment? On the face of it the argu
ment OF the slavers that it is crime in
stead of commerce seems TO be the
correct classification. Suppose the
court had taken that view.

which was good enough for the saloons
until the honest temperance sentiment
of the cities began to render 1t effective
and also calculated to afford saloon
legal talent new loopholes in place Of
those legal decisions have closed to
them.
Perhaps the best way would be for
Mr.. shankiand to bring his bill to the
floor on minority report signed by
himself, Koontz, of Iowa City, and
Brown of Oskaloosa But at that 1t
wouldn't get the saloons anything.

He will discontinue all business ac-

he will make as much of life as pos
sible in the bosom of his family
But isn't it a mistake for him SO to
retire?
Perhaps no one thing is responsible
for the takirg-off several years IN ao-
vance OF the date many healthy farm

such a farmer makes when ne re-

Leaving what has been his life work.
and in which he has been happy ana
healthy he changes his environment
after his course of action has become
fixed.
He is unable to readjust his time, lis
diet his interests and his aspirations
to the new conditions.
In all the FEARS that have passed,
doubtless unconsciously, he has estao :
lished daily schedule which has be-

from which but little enjoyment Is IN
