Editor The NeNs-Times:
Dear Sir.-It will have 10 be ad-
mitted by every fair minded invesu-
gator that Christian science has at
tracted people of intelligence and ed
ucation 20 its fold; that within prac-
tically half a century il has become
known 10 all parts Of the world: and
that the workers performed through
its ministry are matters of universal
and common knowledge. To say.
then, that Christian Science is a hum
bug, as did Rev Conn. whose re-
marks about Christian Science were
referred 10 in your paper recently,
shows either a wilful determination
not 10 give credit where credit is due,
or that he failed TO properly inform
himself before attempting TO criticise.
Whether or not all investigators
would agree with US that Christian
Science is the restoration of print
tive Christianity could not be deter
mined by argument, but it is an in
disputable fact that hundreds Of
thousands Of suffering, sIn-sick NOR
tails have proved its power to heal
all manner of diseases, to free the
slave Of false appetite, and 10 awaken
a desire TO be more GOdlike.
Practically the same charge was
made by Rev. Decker in his refer
ences to false religions, in which he
included Christian Science. We can
not agree with our brother that there
is anything to indicate that Christian
Science is false, OF that it is going TO
fall. since it is giving mankind a bet
ter understanding of God and mans
relation TO Him, and in doing so Is
making mankind healthier, holier
and better The cause Of Christian
Science is growing today as never
before, and this growth is being
brought about by the followers of
Mary Baker Eddy putting into daily
practice the command of the great
Master 10 preach the gospel" and
Heal the sick
Yours very truly.

regretted, but one which under the
circumstances cannot be helped
Dayton enjoys and deserves to en-
joy the reputation Of a we'll govern
ed city. The good management and
good government are easily to be
noted by the passing stranger in the
vigilance Of her police officers. in the
brilliancy Of her street lights, and
in the cleanliness of her streets. We
wish her example in these particulars
were catching
Dayton compares favOrably with,
if IL does not excel, any city of her
own class in the United States in
the excellence of her municipal
work. This is not all due to the
commission form of government: for
notwithstanding bad governmental
conditions prior to the adoption of
the commission form Dayton even
then was well up in the scale. But
the commission is governing Dayton
very much as a great factory would
be governed by a progressive and
successful management.
We congratulate our wide-awake
neighbor upon its successful pioneer
ing in a difficult field and we only
wish that Xenia could find way to
do likewise.

of the phrase, but even if few fail
TO hear it. sensitive and sensible peo-

OF coarse breeding and coarser

that the vulgar practice is being dis
carded, there is much to be thankful

story that the recent reported ar

MIR. WILSON'S MISSION.
louisville Times, Dem)

louisville Times, Dem.)
Mr.. Wilson's decision to visit the
larger cities of the south and cen
trail west to discuss with their peo-
pie the issue of preparedness gives
evidence that he has discovered the
seat IF the trouble. If he can con-
vert their people, the opposition to
preparedness will largely disappear.
Both are far removed from any pres
ent fear of attack IL is a long cry
from either coast. A navy may be
needed 10 protect New York or San
Francisco. coast defe1ses and a mo-
bile army 10 prevent the landing Of
hostile troops to harry the Atlantic
or Pacific seaboard, but what has the
central west or south to fear from
such operations?
The argument has not been voiced
in such form through the press or
on the floor Of congress. but its silent
influence is responsible for the great
er number Of the obstacles Mr. Will
son has found in the way, not Of
adequate preparation, but of any
change from a system which invites
attack and makes assured a stagger-
ing loss in lives, property and terri
tory.
The majority of representatives
| from the south and the Middle west
come from the small community.
Their outlook, if not local. is provin-
cial They lack the national sense
which would cause them to realize
that New York or Philadelphia could
not be destroyed or Washington
taken without forcing the whole
country TO rise TO wipe out the stain
and revenge the wrong; the loss
could not be repaired. The shame
would remain. the dead could not
/ be resurrected, the property destroy
/ ed could not be recreated.
Mr.. Wilson is not asking for a
I great standing army. His program
calls for less than 10000 regulars
and for 400. 600 citizen volunteers.
4 He does want a navy strong enough
to constitute an effective first line
OF defense
The United States has made more
enemies than friends in Europe since
this war began. The United States
is committed TO taking over the
major share of the worlds trade

/ challenge Unless our position is to

duty exists. il will be performed. but
