PLEASE ANSWER.
TDes Moines Capital


Has not Governor Clarke been a
faithful official? Is he aot to be found
regularly in his office except when
away looking after official business
Does he not watch every department?
Has he not met with peomptness and
fidelity every demand which has been
made upon him! If there are those
who can establish negative to these
queries it is none too early for the
hearing to begin. Governor Clarke de
serves fair treatment at the hands OF
the republicans Of Iowa. To sacrifice
him for the mere purpose Of placatins
an unreasonable prejudice would be a
vicarious offering which we do not be-
ieve the republican party can afford
to make.
To refuse Governor Clarke the honor
Of a denomination would be blunder
which the political managers would
never be able to explain. If Governor
Clarke can not be reelected then there
is no republican who can. 1t is time
for Iowa republicans to cease shying
at shadows, stand for principles which
will command a common respect and
prepare to deserve and to win VIC
tory.
Under the leadership of Governor
George w. Clarke this very thing Is
possible.

True discernment is seeing the good
and the pure. There Is none good but
one and that one is omnipresent life,
truth and love, whence comes all the
understanding that we need to solve
every problem. This understanding Is
true knowledge. We may not realize
that this is so in truth and in deed
until we are blessed by the absolute
conviction that the habit of giving
hospitality to pure thoughts will en-
able any man to concentrate to the
very highest purposes his time, his
talents, his opportunities, his wealth.
Everything at his disposal is then de-
voted to enriching his own life and
that of his fellow men. Right thoughts
are Of divine origin; they have creative
impulse and lead to right actions

New Haven, March 5.--"Nothing has
done more to undermine the influence
of the pulpit in recent days than the
attempt to deliver judgments on ques
lions Of business or politics on the
basis of a merely casual study Of the
facts" declared President Arthur T.
Hadley of Yale in an address before
the Religious Education Association
here tonight. "a preacher" he said.
"who Pounds his precepts upon such
casual study is like a lawyer who
knows no more of his case than the
jury. or doctor who understands his
disease no better than his patient.
What Is wanted is power to trace
consequences that are not readily seen:
to 60 deeply into the lessons Of history
and law AMI ethics; to grapple with the
problems before us in virgile fashion.
as intellectual problems to be mastered
instead Of seeking short cuts to their
solution by appeals to sentiment"

Relation in Germany

In a Berlin dispatch to the New York
Evening Mail we read:
con February % the united COM
mittees of the movement away from
the state Church took census in the
seventy-eight churches of Berlin and
Charlottenburg. These churches have
seating accommodation for 100000, and
serve population of 2,060,000
''On the date mentioned there were
only $4,000 at two services, or under
. per cent of the population. OF wor-
shippers present on that day, the journal
declared more than three quarters were
women and children.
The movement away from the
church is stated in another quarter to
be growing seriously. Last year in
Germany, 1900 persons served their
connection with the State church. In
comparison with 5000 in the previous
year and 1000 in 1910"
