Today Is G0.t0.N Church Sunddu

TodayTi is GotoChurch Sunday. 1t has been given
universal recognition as such all over the country,
and nl1nany cities enthusiastic campaigns have been
conducted to induce people to 90 to church today.
Investigations in the east have shown that only a
very small percentage of the people go to church.
Common observation is all that is necessary to con.
vince anyone that the same situation exists every
where. The church has lost much of the influence
which it had for the encouragement of better morals
and upright living in the days of our fathers. This
is true, not only for the cities, but also for the coun-
try. Hundreds of rural churches have been aban.
dOned.
1t is difficult to state what the reason for this
is. A reason frequently given is that the church
has not kept pace with the times. There has been a
certain disagreement between theology and science.
But there is no necessity for preaching dogma. Let
the ministers preach more Christianity and less dog
ma. The grandest sentiment that has ever been
spoken Is the "fatherlood 81. God and the-I6rother
hood OF man" 1t is a sentiment that appeals tdossthe
heart of everyone, from the highest to the loWlest.Es
1t cannot be repeated too often. Aud it sissreligion.
1t is Christianity. Let it be preached In the churches.
And it would do us all a great deal of good If the
Bible lessons taught to us by our mothers when We
were children were told us again each week.

A Source of POwer

If Gov. Blease of South Carolina is seeking the
talisman' OF Senator Tillman's political power in that
state, the, senator himself may have given. him the
tip. Returning to Washington from q long sojourn
at home, Senator Tillmana says that, during his vaca'
ti0n, he .ate little else than hogs jowl and greens.
The greens are called collords in the South Carolina
vernacular, but collards are nothing else than green's
such as are eaten with hogs j0wl in other parts OF
the country. 1t is worth Blease's trying. Neither
the jowl nor the green's can give him all there Is IN
Tillman,-of force and effectiveness, but it is possible
that a sglHEHat many South Carolnans who never heard
Tillman ss Speak ut all have steadily voted for him
because lie has long advertised his liking for hogs
jowl and green's above Newburg lobster and combina-
ton salad. i
There are, doubtless, many who would rather go
without political power and preferment than eat hogs
jowl and; greens. Eut let none such undervalue the
potency Of that great dish in Democratic party poll
tics. 1T was in the Faust restaurant Of st. Louis that
Mr.. Bryan cinclled up his saddle. on the Democratic
donkey when the thong was almost slipping through

MISS WILSON AND THE TANGO.

sStarkville, Miss, Jan. 24.-Miss Ell
eanor Wilson's name is being used as
a leading argument in the fight here
for the tango, the One-step, the hest
tation waltz and other modern dane
es. Headed by the local w. G. +. u,
many prominent citizens are urging
the city council to pass al ordinance
prohibiting the much-diseussed
dances. The council, although
thought to favor such an ordinance,
is delaying action In order to ascer.
tain public opinion. Students of the
state agricultural and mechanical
college and many of the leading
young women of the place are oppos-
ing the proposed ordinance. Several
of the Starkyille society set attended,
the ball of the Twelfth Night Reyel-
lers in New Orleans two weeks ago.
when the tango aud similar dances
were freely INDUCED ms They re-
turned with word that Miss Wilson
had tangoed and "hesitated" with as
much grace and ,liveliness as anyone
present and that what was good
enough for the daughter Of the presi-
dent was good enough for the young
ladies of Starkville. Advocates Of the
dances are now conducting a very &C
tie campaign and the town is diided
into two we'll defined and almost
equally influential camps, and inter
est. Is running higher than in any
political contest since the days Of
carpet. bagging.

The Income Tax

The income tax law will no longer prove a puzzle
to those who read the interesting and enhghtening
article on it in thevcurrent issue Of Lippincott's Mag
azine. Edward Sherwood Mead, Lippincott's financial
expert, is the author. }
1T has been held that the stateI has been lefraud-
ed out Of a large part; Of revenue which rightfully
belonged to it, because persons would not, declare
their income. Even when the taxpayer was honest,
lie resented the necessary inquiry into his E~ptivatev
affairs involved in the assessmentsof his income and
the inquiry necessarily incident thereto. The present
law. copying the Englisl, income tax law in this
regard. aims to c,,re these defects. In the first place,

Improvement of Rural Conditions

IS. The recent organization of a grange in the city
and the meeting Of the Grain Growers association
and the American Society Of Equity at Fargo are
indications that the farmers are waking up to a real
ization of the fact that they are not receiving their
just share of the amenities of life. There has been
an overdevelopment Of urban civilization at the ex-
pense of rural communities. The improvement of
rural conditions has been much talked of and written
about, but very little has been done in that direction.
The consequence; of this neglect is seen in abandoned
farms all over the east-especially in the New Eng.
land states. The sturdy farmer boys have gone to
the cities and abandoned the homes Of their fathers.
Now the cry is, Back to the farm z
But. the back-to-thefarm movement will not be sue
cessful until rural conditions have been improved
until farm life has been betterd. The country must
catch up with the cities. This does not imply that
the development Of our cities must cease until the
country has caught up. 1t simply means that, along
with urban development, there, must be the construc-
ton of an equalizing rural civilization.
This means, first of all, that the farmers must
adopt the modern business methods which have cals-
ed the wonderful growth of cities. Better business
methods includes, among other things, improved rural
credits. cooperative distribution. In other words, the
farmers must get together and work together. The
second requirement is, better farming. This means
soil conservation, intensive, instead of extensive,
farming, and the raising Of more live stock. Finally,
in order to make farm life more attractive the farm
sers must live better. This means that a community
spirit must be fostered and the isolation and loneli-
ness done away with. This can be brought about by
the creation of social centers, by providing better
means of communication, by building good roads, by
providing access to books, magazines and newspa-
pers by the establishment Of more gymnasiums, and
by the betterment of rural churches. And, Of course,
the home conditions of the farm must be improved:
Farm homes should have all the conveniences Of the
modern urban home.
The realization Of these things is not Utopian.
They caunot all come at once, but they will surely
come u the farmers get ~together. All the public
couveuieuces in cities are the result Of cooperation.
