Everything gets down to a business bagis after awhile, and costs of al] théngs, even time, can be expressed in Gollars and cents. Ten years ago, Mr. J. Bolt School- ing, the famous English statistician, by taking the wars of the nineteenth century, figured out that it costs about $6,000 to kill a man in battle. Now comes “Bill; Sunday, ex-ballplayer and evangelist, with figures as to the money cost of saving souls. His fig- ures place the average cost per soul in New Orleans as §$78: in Chicago, $395; in Denver, $425: in Boston, $450; im New Yeork, $545; in Indianapolis $620. According to this, five men can be saved in New Orleans at the cost of one in Chicago: and the expense in Indianapolis is nearly eight times as much. And it costs ten times as much to kill a man as it does to make him a good and useful citizen. As an argument against war this is all right. There is economy in evan- zelizing the world. THE GROWTH OF METHODISM. The world realizes that the Metho- dists are hustlers for progress, and that they make a steady advance along all the lines of gospel work. Recently Dr. H. K. Carroll said an address at Toronto at the Ecumen- ical conference, that in the past decad there hLas been an increase of but 437,562, or 15 per cent., compared with 1,261,209, or 33 per cent., in the decade ending in 1891. But this is only rela- tive and a denomination that can show a net increase of over 400.000 in ten years is certainiy moving forward. While conditions in England are not so favorable as in America, according to the accounts of Rev. Simpson John- =on and Rev. Henry Haigh, the reports MR. LOUKS’ EXPERIENCES. There seems to be no doubt police-, men have very Curious experiences and often get the impression that it is more dangerous to have good eyes than to be a little blind, so the statement of Merrill S. Loults, ex- state policeman, Tuesday evening, te the Men's Church club, in Meriden, is not so surprising to the citizens wha know their town. He said that “om| election day in Bridgeport he entered eleven saloons, purchased intoxicants in each place, had the proprietors ali arraigned in court where they wera fined but toek an appeal, and when they did not come up in the superior court he investigated and found that the cases had been nolled.” Which simply shows the state at torney did not care to be bothered with them, and felt that the decisions of the lower court were of little im-, portance any way. The machinery of the courts does not always run smoothly, and it is not such a rare event fow a prosecutor ta slip his trolley. Throwing out cases of violation of the law in bunches doesn't strengthen the liquor dealers’ respect for the law or the confidence of the public m the courts. The public can have just such abuses of power as this seems to be as long as it Will abide it and make no in- quiry. MNOTES OF ‘A DEFUNCT BANK CIRCULATING. The state bank of Brunswick, N. J. failed forty years ago, and its mat- ters have all been settled up: and. vet, the economy of the receiver wha settled up the affairs of the defunct bank prompted him to sell nearly a ton of $20 notes to a junk dealer, in- stead of destroying them, who appa ently found a profitable way of dis- posing of them. The Newark Star calls attention to .the fact that the proprietor of a Newark boarding house accepted one, a week ago, and returneq | nineteen dollars change, and a man | was arrested in New York, last Fri- day, for attempting to pass one. They have been faithfully distrib uted, and a Boston paper says: “Prob- ably specimens could be found in many, a tin bank and serving as stuffing for numerous stocking banks, and very likely the I t Man will have a State Bank of New Brunswick note ameng his assets.” EDITORIAL NOTES. Happy thought for today: The man who talks back is not the one who gets to the front. The penny banks in the schoclrooms from the mission fields are more than gratifying. Rev. William Williams declares that ‘every tenth person in Australia Is a Methodist,” while the conferences in China, Japan, India, Africa and other mission flelds have a membership of 708,105, 1,442,202 adherents and 458,165 in the Sunday schools. There are 2,528 missionaries in ac- tive service. while there are 52,978 ordained ministers in the home con- ferences, the consecrated captains who lead a vast army of worshippers. THINKS THE GOVERNOR INCON- SISTENT. Mrs. A, B. Kendrick of Hartford, after keeping tab upon the ways of Governor Baldwin, has come to the conclusion that his words and his con- duet do not harmonize. Speaking to the W. C. T. U. of Meriden Tues- day, she pointed out that Governor Baldwin in his inaugural address had sald votes should be given to women when all want ther also, that he later appointed to the industrial com- mission to inquire into working con- ditions of women and children, Mise Alice H. Chittenden, who, in the opin- ion of Mrs. Kendrick, was one of the most convincing speakers who ap- peared before the legislature, oppos- ing women’'s suffrage. While filling a place on the industrial Commission, Miss Chittenden, Mrs. Kendrick thinks, may further fortify herself in her chosen position against women's suffrage, especially as in her official capacity she must study not only the | circumstances under which thousand of women labor, hut the needs of this class of women and their capabilities of remedying il for theruselves 1f given the opportunity. The Ansonia Sentinel, ipon this incident of says: “The fact that Mrs. Kendrick con- sidered the governor's attitude ‘illog- loal’ and some of the conduct of the ! legislature ‘disgraceful’ would seem ta point to further work for the ‘White Ribboners’ along with their other ef- forts in raising the fallen.” OPPOSING OPINIONS. Since Secretary Wilson and Dr, Wiley have differed widely in opiniorn for so long a time upon pure-food is- sues, it is not even strange to find them at loggerheads in their opinions as to the prosperity of farmers. Secretary Wilson has been at some pains to demonstrate that the “high cost of living period has had no rigors for the farmer. The latter has sola what! he had and bought what he« wanted, and there is a tidy balance remaining to him.” Dr. Wiley, how- ever, says “the farmers are getting less for their product than they dis twenty-five vears ago,” and “you peo- ple in the crowded cities are paying more." Those who have been attentive to ‘The Farmer's” weekly letters in The Bulletin will be inclined to side witk Dr. Wiley. There is no doubt that many suc- cessful farmers in the west make money and ride in automebiles; but it is perfectly safe to bet ten to one do not. The farmer who sells fancy apples for an average of $1.00 a barrel, which are sold in the metropolitan markets ter 60 cents a dozen; or who is sell- isg ezgs at 25 cents a dozen which are retailed in the city for 45 cents, is not rapidly making his way to the automobile class. A square view of farming in New England leaves no doubt Dr. Wiley is right in his conclusions. commenting the meeting, Tt is now proposed to raise a million dollar Presbyterian temple to memo- rialize Justice Harlan. Had the prop- osition been made to him. he might have said: I guess not!” Tt is being noted that in his college days President Taft wrote an essay upon “The Vitality of the Democratic Party,” and he still recognizes the soundness of his judgment.
