A Testing Day.

AT this point we would quote a para
graph well worthy our attention: "n
Is true that our Consciousness of sim
fulness makes us shrink from the rev.
elations Of that day. But we need to
correct our thoughts by at least two
considerations. Then. with sin elimi-
mated. we shall hate sin as sin and as
we ought 10 hate II now. We shall
rejoice In the completeness Of the
Lords victory over sin In us. Love Of
what Is true will become so real that
we shall have no desire to appear

deavored 10 appear ever since the day
in which Adam and Eve attempted to
hide themselves In the thicket from
the eye OF God. We shall not dread
anything that TO the Lord seems wise
and right; otherwise the question
might well be asked, "Where Is your

We are better prepared now TO APP
preclate the words OF John In his first
epistle: Beloved, now are we the

THE REAL PLUTOCRATS

ONE cannot help wondering what I'M
~ preston James |. Blakslee, fourth
assistant postmaster general. desired to
create when he read to the Senate COM
mittcc on postofices report on the SEN
timent of the farmers, compiled by the
head of the division of rural mails. The
synopsis Of the report, telegraphed from
Washington. indicates that the farmers
are discontcntcd and arc unable to make
u living, and are planning to engage in
some other occupation.
That there arc misfit farmers, just as
there are misfit lawyers and msfit groc-
ers, goes without saying. But all the
available evidence proves that the most
prosperous group in the whole country is
the group of farmers. They have been
getting high prices for everything that
they can produce. from wheat to pigs,
and including potatoes, apples and beef.
They have been paying off the mortgages
on their farms. and they have been put
ting their surplus money in the banks.
They have equipped their houses with
modern convenicnces and they operate
their farms with the most improved ma
chinery. They could not do this if they
were not prosperous.
There is no better indication of the
state of their financial affairs than is
found in the number of automobiles that
they own. We think motorcars are COM
mon in this state and in New York, and
Massachusetts. the three great manufac-
turing states. But in Massachusetts, there
is only one car for every twenty-four
persons: in New York, one for every
TWENTY-FIVE, and in this state one for
every twenty.
In Iowa, an agricultural state. there is
one car for every seven persons, that is,
out Of every three families two own
motorcars. In Kansas therc is a car fol
every seven inhabitants. In Texas and
Michigan there is one car for every clever
persons, and in Indiana and Wisconsin
ono for every twelve. And the cars
owned in these agricultural states are not
Fords, either. They are the more eX-
| pensive makes.
y A population that can afford the luxury
| of an automobile when it is engaged in q
business III which it is necessary to use
horses is not on the verge of bankruptcy

which it has achieved its prosperity.

long as they are making money there is
no danger of a serious financial panic
