Practical Christianity.

The Rev. George w. Broome,
pastor of the First Baptist church
at Calumet, Mich, recently con-
Quoted services in his church es-
pecially for the liquor dealers and
bartenders of his city. "Christ
and the Baptist church" he said,
unlike the Pharisees of old, well
come liquor men, gamblers and So
cialeoutcasts, and will try to save
them, holding that all men are en-
titled to live their own lives in their
own way, and all, regardless of
class, are entitled to the benefits
ofreligion. One trouble with. the
churches has been that their efforts
have not been so much to- save, as
desire for pomp and ceremony.
There is a lack of energy to reach
out beyond the portals of the regu-
lar ffocks to seek those who are in
dire need of spiritual guidance and
urged to be seekers after righteous
ness. 1t is such ministers of the
gospel as the Calumet pastor who
dealing out praetieability and
preaching for the good of human
ity, rather than spectacular effect
and entertainment of chosen few,
whose presence is more desirable
because of social standing and f.
nancial uplift in church mainten-
ance. The Calumet pastor has the
right design on the concept of the
Masters teachings-geing out in
the highways and by-ways to reach
classes who are otherwise outcasts
as far as encouragement and reli-
gious training is concerned.

Assemblyman Grell has intro
duced bill to abolish the Univers-
ity high school and to utilize the
building, which cost $I45, 900, for
other school purposes. A high
school at the university is about
as necessary as a fifth wheel to a
buggy, especially, in view ofFthe
fact that every city and village in
the state has high school and the
maintenance of a high school at
the university, practically imposes
a double tax for the benefit of
Madison. Last year, only asa
students were enrolled 2o5 of whom
were residents of that city and i'm
mediate vicinity. 1t is high time
that a lot of the Van Hisein costly
fad at the university were eliminat-
ed, expenses reduced, and practical
education impaired to the students
who attend that institution.

The bill introduced in the legis-

How Business Is Picking I'D. %

The manner in which business is
picking up" and prosperity is re-
turning is reflected in Bradstreet's
report of business failures for the
week ending March 9th. There
were IN the United States 416 fail
ures, against 400 for the preced-
ing week. In 1912, the last full
protection year, the failures for
the corresponding week were a3o.
AS 4I6 is TO 23o, so is the free
trade record of business wrecks to
the protection record. The sooner
business stops picking up at
this rate, the better it will be for
business.

WHY BUYING AWAY FROM
HOME is A MISTAKE

A favorlte topic in various farm
journals of late has been the retail
merchant and his relations to the
farmer
One article very properly points
out that when a farmer sends away
from home for his goods he buys
against his own best interests be-
cause he tends to make the town of
less account. And unless the town is
a good one the farmers land is not
worth as much as it ought to be
worth. Everybody knows this is true
and there is no need in discussing it
here. We think our farmer friends
will cordially agree with us in this
contention.
Another issue of the same paper
contains letter from a farmer giving
the farmers side of the case. He says
many town merchants do not treat the
farmer right-that they do not provide
enough inducements in the way of

recommendation has gone to the

the appointment will be made, in
which case, Gov. Philip will have
to appoint a man to fill the vacancy

the fact that in his entire campaign
for the governorship he did not
mention national issue, and es-
pecially he did not mention the tar
If question, which is so impor-
tant to the agriculture, the labor
and the industries of the state of

that he is not a candidate for the

tons tor members of congress in
the thlrty-sixth congressional dis
trlct to succeed Hon. Serene E.
Payne, deceased, and in the thirtv-

special election cannot be held
within thirty days, while a special
session of Congress may be called
at the will of the President. It

Disappointments in material and

The richest life, is the life spent

variety Of goods and price to interest
the farmer and that they do not get
out enough live advertising matter to
tell the farmer what is going on in
the store. This farmer is right, also.
We indorse what he says just as much
as we do the remarks of the farmer
who took his friends to task fer not
buying at home.
We never did believe-much less
say-that anybody owed us a duty
just because we were conducting a
business in this town.
But we do say that our farmer
friends make a mistake when they
send away for goods. We say this be-
cause we can do better by them than
they can do at the retail catalogue

sell the catalogue people on every

Laboratory OF Thought.

Kansas and wisconsin are now
running neck and neck when it
comes to freak legislation. Odds
are in favor of Kansas, which must
be recognized. There is, accord
ing to the Postal Guide, town
near La Crosse which is indexed
Waukon. In this little town an
ordinance has been passed and is
being enforced which might inter-
est the rest of the country. A day
is set aside every year and is de-
signed ring-It-Back-Day." To
those who borrow money, those
who borrow property, those who
borrow anything of a borrowable
nature, they are supposed on this
particular day to bring it back,
and if they do not comply with the
municipal edict the town marshal
goes after the borrowed article and
brings it back anyway-that is, IT
he can get it. In Kansas the
Pay-Up-Week" celebration has
been a fruitful success and last
week of the ffty-two almost
body who is in a position to make
restitution does his or her best to
10 so. Debt is the secret foe OF
thrift. The debt habit is the twin
brother of poverty. The great
trouble of the country is the credit
system. An unknown man can OBJ
tain credit with scarcely any trou
BILE. This encourages many to go
wrong. People who have credit
and do credit business buy more
than they need. To keep clear in
the eyes of the world, operate on
cash basis. This is not always
possible. Some people have to de-
pend on credit to exist, but when
they are in this position they must
understand that they are stand
ing on the brink of disaster. In
these two laboratories of thought,
laws have been enacted which may
seem foolish, but there is logic in
both. In neither case will the laws
be held constitutional, but at the
same time they encourage some
people to do the right thing and
pay up. A small debt, many ar
que, produces friend. This is
why credits are SO easily obtained,
but it must be remembered that a
large debt creates an enemy. The
pay-up-week idea and bring-it-
back day in Wisconsin. are not so
foolish after all. There is so much
method in such legislation that it
should not be ridiculed. The first
step in debt is like the first step in
falsehood. 1t should not be fol-
lowedsu till one is hopelessly in
volved. Pay up, bring it back,
keep yourself clear-Commercial
Appeal.
