BOOSTING AND BEGGING,

Col. G. W. French, manufacturer
first ard farmer and stock raiser as
side line, files complaint against the
newspapers of Iowa because Of alleged
lack Of booster spirit. The colonel ap-
pears aggrieved because the news
papers failed to grow excited over his
selling a $1,000 bull. Because of his
failure to receive free publicity right
off the bat, Mr.. French resorted to the
time-worn method of employing a
press agent, with instructions to dress
up the story. The press agent started
out to earn his fee and story of more
than one column in length. with a
picture of the bovine wonder, has been
sent broadcast. The remarkable quail
tiles OF Mr.. Bull, his antecedents and
the possible excellence Of his >posterity,
are elaborated upon. That is all good
from the standpoint of Mr.. French.

THE WORK OF CUMMiNs.

In a debate in the house of repre-
sentatives in Washington on the bill to
create an interstate trade commission
on May 81. Congressman Stevens Of
Minnesota said:
I hold in my hand a report Of the
last congress on the subject Of a trade
commission by Senator Cummins of
Iowa. That report contains more of
value which has been used by this COM
mittee than any other document 1t is
one of the clearest, and ablest pre-
sensations Of the general aspect Of this
important subject which has been be-
fore US. l hold here a bill introduced
by Senator Cummins of Iowa in that
congress on the same subject creating
a trade commission and the committee
will notice from the marginal notations
upon ii that more was taken out of
that bill than any other one measure
which this committee used.
If the people of Iowa could go over
the pages Of the Congressional Record
since Cummins has been in the senate
they would find its pages replete with
such evidence. 1t is these which ac
count for the fact that he stands we'll
at the head of the list Of senators who
are counted as forcetul, both in Wash
tngton and in the country as a whole
Representative Stevens was pointing
out in this connection the fact that re-
publicans were alive to the needs Of
the country in this line and had men
representing them in Washington who
had blazed the way for others to fol-
low in remedial legislation.
Cummins Is one of the most valuable
assets the republicans have in the en-
tire country.
There is much in evidence on the
surface indicating that this view Of
Cummins will be quite emphatically
expressed in the Iowa primaries next
Monday.

United States. A year ago the Japa-
nese government sent q commission
to this country to buy the best avail
able bulls and cows for importation
into Japan. Every well known heru
between the two oceans was inspected
and the choice lay between hero In
Iowa and one in Wisconsin.
But
and this is the point Of the story,
the Japanese experts had heard OF
Wisconsin cattle, and they had not
heard of Iowa cattle. 1t was merel'
a matter of advertising. The COM
missioners really liked the Iowa cattle
a little better. but--they bought the
herd in Wisconsin,
Colonel French,s publicity agent has
missed the point of the story. he IN
sists that the newspapers boost Iowa
by boosting a private business gratis.
He would have it appear that $4,000
bulls might be produced on every farm.
provided other $4,000 bulls were pur-
chased to head the separate and nu-
merous herds. To insure this remark
able condition Colonel French and
other millionaire breeders OF fancy
stock insist the newspapers should
donate their energies and their space.
Newspapers in Iowa and other states
have awakened to new conditions.
They have been in the forefront OF the
booster ranks, and will continue to
lead But they are drawing the lines
closely on public and private boosting.
Publicity for private gain must be paid
for at regular advertising rates. II
MILL onaire breeders are convinced
there is a market for $4,000 bulls they
can afford and ought to be willing to
pay the newspapers for aid in devel-
opins their business and finding
market for their products. Newspapers
have long ceased to be begsars, and
object to being easy victims for press
agent solicitors.

lectual difficulties in accepting many
christian beliefs:
We can not believe that newly

We can not believe that Eve came out

it? We do. not understand how the
doctrines Of eternal punishment and
remission of sins agree. Such re-

general acceptance, but We should
think that christianity could proceed
without them. The learned Hindus

WHEN the FLAG FOLLOWS PROFITS.

Secretary Bryan has corrected a
very common misunderstanding as to
the duty of the American government
to protect it's citizens in foreign lands
when he explained that men who
should choose to invest in business and
property under the jurisdiction Of an
other government assumed the hazard
of that governments probable ability
and disposition to protect the invest
ment and they had nothing to expect
from their own government except
that American citizens abroad would
be guaranteed the same rights that
any other citizens had SO far as their
relations with any foreign govern
ment were concerned.
When trouble arises in foreign coun-
tries the American citizen whose in
vestments are jeopardized, sets up a
howl for protection, which, If granted,
would simply mean that any citizen OF
the United States could go where he
pleased to speculate and could call on
the United States army and navy to
make his investment good.
AS rule investments in the lands
Of more or less unstable governments
pay enormous dividends when they
pay at all. That Is the rule OF trade,
the greater the risk the higher the
profits. II is the lure Of hig gain that
attracts capital from our own coun-
try to a country like Mexico. Specula-
tors may not think of it at the time,
but if there were as much stability to
profit return would never be 30 at

take risks for the sake OF the large
gains possible should be good losers
when the hazard proves it's presence

overtaken Mexico.

"MephistopheIes, MeIlen & Co."

Charles A Mellen. former president
Of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, was referred to as
the junior member of the firm of
Mephistopholes, Mellen e. Co. Mellen's
statement that he would use the devil
if necessary to get what he wanted
was the theme Of DR.. Frederick f. Hop
kins' sermon in the Park Manor Con-
gregational church.
"At last we know why a fine rail-
road cannot pay its honest debts and
why New England feels itself disgraced
and why widows and orphans whose
ancestors laid up treasurers on earth
by toll and sacrifice and thrift are now
pinched with want" said DR.. Hopkins.
ut IS because Mellen was in the habit
of saying within himself. Get what you
want when you want it and use the
devil to turn the trick if necessary"
Nov the junior member of the firm
of Mephstopheles. Mellen & Co.. is
talking some with, his mouth and find

"And now the question-in part, at

1T is asked by tired women who have
turned and turned the threadbare

Henry Clay said he would rather be

Why India viii Not Accept Christ.

So many reasons have been given in
our religious press for many years
why India should accept Christ that it
is only fair to listen when leading
Hindu tries to tell us why India will
never do so. Christian readers can
read what he has to say with especial
complacency when they remember the
statements from that land telling of the
tidal wave of conversions that is
every year rising higher and higher.

trine Of eternal torture formulate dur
ing the dark ages. Study of the bible
is showing them that God is really Il

Those who remember that the

is not usually over six feet deep are
not longer troubled with the supersti-
tious thought once connected with
hell. According to the bible. hell is
no more nor less than ob.ivion-the
grave.
Some have supposed that Satan
held the keys of hell; but we need not
fear, since Jesus holds the keys. We
are glad to know that while many are
locked in the tomb. or hell they are
not doomed to suffer eternally nor, in
deed to suffer at all. for we read: The
dead know not anything
What need we fear? Our resurrec-
