The Reverend Billy Sunday bas retired in affinence, after a few years of picturesque pulpitry. The chances are that any man of the 25 starvelings was more “highly” educated than, and fully as intellectual as, Mr. Sunday. The chances are that each strived to do his ministerial duty in fully as t a degree as Mr. Sunday did. Why does the world reward one man with rags and another with riches? Why is one starved and oné surfeited? Is not the difference entirely in the angle of the appeal? The world is emotional. And sensational If you can feed its emotions, it will reward you. its mentality, you may starve and welcome. We pay Chartie Chaplaii a million a year to excite our rinible emo tions. The teacher to whom we entrust our children’s training ets a million from us in just about a thousand years, Very few of them live to collect the full amount. Sir Oliver Lodge, exploiting the supernatural sensation of the hour, receives fifteen hundred dollars for a few remarks, but Sir Oliver Lodge lecturing to us as the eminent scientist he is, would receive fifty dollars, perhaps, John McCormack can pack any auditorium tn the country to titillate our ears, but if he tries to teach us something, the hall would be full of emptiness. . We pay Bud Fisher more than all the members of all the academies. Bernard Shaw does indeed appeal to our mentality, but he does it with a laugh, and he uses the medium of the theatre. He makes “a show” of himself. Socrates, Solon and Solomon couldn't be elected to the Ie; and yet we wonder why our politicians Are not ptatesmen, We refuse to think. We want to be “shown.” ‘Thrill us, fill us with some sort of emotion, but do not ask us to exercise our brains, or our spirituality. If you do, well, there are the twenty-five dead clergymen. Believe and Feel Good Introducing to the reader Mr. Hale Holden, president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad Mr. Holden says that the billion dollar increase in railroad rates will eventually bring about a reduction in the high cost of living, while there may be a slight temporary increase in some prices. “The rate said Mr. Holden, “may be regar very optimistically by the public, I believe.” That's the stuff!
