As TO HE'LL,

| DR.. John Furlong Of Boulder Colo
RADIO objects to Billy Sundays views
on hell. At the request Of one Johnson
who has been Fostering editors in
towns where Sunday has conducted
meetings Rev. Furlong has written an
article dissenting from Bills picture of
hell and it's population. So this man
Johnson wants to know what the edi-
tors think of the Furlong objection.
An editor. generally speaking,
doesn't bother much about hell. He is
too busy.
So far as Billy's or Doc. Furlong's
ideas Of bell are concerned it doesn't
matter much. Every man has a hell
of his own or a conception Of hell. 1t
runs hot or lukewarm or stone cold,
according to the man who does the
thinking. The hell we select for our
selves is never up to the high tempera-
ture of that we pick out for the other
fellow.
The world is drifting away from dis
cussions on hell and what it is likely
to be like. There's a reason. We are
drifting away from doctrine and get
ting busy with lot of things that
need doing more than argumentative
discussions on hell and specifications
Of the quality of birthstone. There's SO
much to be done here on earth and SO

forgetting to attend to it's doctrinal
| and polemic quarrels and doing things
at hand The idea is taking hold, that
! building a hospital here is a better
business than making drafts and front
| and rear elevations of future hell.
And that what Bill Sunday or Rev.
| F>urlong thinks about hell doesn't
signify so much as that a widow shall
have a pension.
! Lately the state of Iowa has pro-
vided for hospital treatment at its
| university medical school for children,
crippled and afflicted children. This is
long way from the old time &C
ceptance Of the elder school Of theo-
logians who saw children not a span
long in hell. And it illustrates that the
people who live in this day are more
| interested in the healing Of the halt
and the sick and the blind than in
ecapitualtion Of tortures stored up
| for the wicked.
The man who forgets hell in an alb
sorption of altruism and kindness and
duty to mankind is a good sort to have
to argue over hell. Let Billy Sunday
and DR.. F'urlong do it.

sixty YEARS MORE OF TAXES.

Mr.. II. c. Beard, addressing a COM
mercial club in Shenandoah, said that
1t would take sixty years at the pres
ent rate to replace all temporary
bridges in Page county with per-
manent masonry, whereas, by issuing
county bonds the bridges could all be
built within the next few years and
paid for principal and interest out OF
the present bridge tax in half that time
because of the saving in the present
repair bill on modern bridges.
Beard is a member of the state
highway commission and when he says
that there are 5000 bridges to be re-
built in Page county he knows.
Furthermore two years of service on
the commission has shown him some
things in bridge building that are be-
ing done in other states.

full with careless people. It may be
good court room lighting for legal
points. But it obscures the real issues
of the trial. No one supposes. GER
tainly Colonel Roosevelt has never to
our knowledge asserted. that he be-
came governor against the will of the
bosses or the machine. Back in '9S the
very idea Of such a thing was fantas-
tic Yet even in those dark days Of
our public life Colonel Roosevelt saw
more keenly than most men Of his po-
sition. the dangers and temptations OF
boss rule. He preserved an independ-
ence of mind which. judged by the con-
ditions Of that period, was extraordin-
airy. He started no crusade. He worked
with the machine. He grew up in the
school of regular republican politics.
But he grew up. When the country's
nations Of political morality began to
change, his notions changed. He was
not pioneer in that change, but he
was a great leader of it, There were
men ahead Of him, but he might well
claim to have been ahead of the ma
jority Of his countrymen. While he
was growing. while public opinion was
changing, Mr.. Barnes and his organi-
cation stood still BY 1910 the old reg
ular politics was no longer tolerable to
the best American opinion. Then came
the break Of which this trial is an echo.
The evidence shows that Mr.. Barnes
has been consistent. He has not
changed. That is his ofrense Colonel
Roosevelt has grown. That Is his
glory.-NeW Republic.

COMPLAINT OF THE PRIMARY.

dayton Review.l
Are the politicians firing Of the pri-
mary? The sioux City Journal taunto
the early sponsors OF the primary sys-
tenn with being weary OF its workings
and squibs from the press everywhere
indicate that those who were most re-
sponsible for. the inauguration of tho
system are seeking way of side
tracking 1t. The plea to take away all
the offices from the primary except
the governor is another doubt cast
upon the peoples ability to select their
nominees. Privately. most Of the polls
ticians Of the state are Whispering
among themselves that the primary IS
a Jonah. but they haven't reached the
stage Of breathing it out loud" They;
want to approach the problem by go-
ing around Robin Hoods barn. And
this Conference" or court of concili-
alton" as some put 1t, Is simply the
effort Of the politicians to compromise
for the voting mass, instead of allows
ing the voting mass ITO settle 1t for
themselves. 1t IS simply the old con-
vention method hidden and any step
taken along this line is movement
away from the primary principle. Il
isn't the voters, however, that are con-
planning about the primary. but the
politicians and officeseekers. 1t may
have been some disappointment that
not more OF the voters take part mi
the primary, but the primary system
will not be enhanced, nor more OF th0
voters drawn to the primary election
booths by depriving them OF the ops
portunity OF selecting all their cans

SOME DIFFERENCE.

u
The difference In the methods OF
road making pursued in California and
Iowa perhaps may be observed when
the Sun tells its readers what has
been done In Kings county. Cal, very
recently. A former editor of the Sun.
B. w. McKeen, publishes newspaper
at Kingsburg in the county afore-
mentioned and in his newspaper of last
week notes that good roads PROPOSE
ton won by stronger majority than
had been expected by it's friends. The
proposition was to. issue bonds in the
sum of $672,500 for the construction
Of 1O2 miles of hard surfaced roadsi
and it carried by a vote OF 1850 to
1850. In time an Iowa law will au-
thorize the issuance Of bonds, per-
haps by special road districts, for the
construction of permanent roads. and
when that day comes Iowa will take
it's place with the foremost road-build-
ing states.

AS no CARN1VALs.

webster City Freeman Trioune.1
The MarshaItown council has de-
cided to bar carnivals by refusing them
a license. That is good decision. The
average carnival Is nuisance and
ought to be wiped from the face of the
earth The one we used to have In
Webster City was no exception. 1t con-
tracted a lot OF debts which have not
been paid and which never will be. The
Times Republican truthfully Gays that
"carnivals are the hoboes and tramps
of the amusement proposition. They
bring nothing TO town and leave moth
ing valuable behind. The average car
niyal is a detriment to the city that
gives it place. 1t should have the
hurdy gurdy."
A SECOND FOR MR.. WILSON.
[Des Moines Capital.]
Today Mr.. Wilson Is the recognized
leader of the democratic party. He
has steadily grown in the confidence
and respect OF the nation. the trying
situation in regard to Europe has made
him the "man Of the hour"
There is no strong faction in his
party which is openly disanected as in
the case Of Mr.. Taft and the prob
abilities are therefore that the demo-
cratic party will conveniently forget
it's declarations about single term
and nominate Wilson and he Will &C
cept.
Certainly there is no one else in the
party within mile of the position OF
leadership-unless 1t be Mr.. Bryan,
