Trustee JAMES H. HOWARTH. Assessor . CHARLES E. POTTER. PRACTICAL PREACHERS. A Congregational minister in a letter to tie "Outlook" advances a very plausible argument for the training of theological students Intending to enter (he ministry, in order that they may he turned out ready to grapple with, real conditions. He very fittingly compares the preacher to a physician and says that just as the medical indent has his clinic so the preacher must have his special training. And viewed from the point of view that the preacher Is to the human soul what the physician is to the human body, his analogy has some weight ."The prospective minister must know not only what the perfect Man it; he must be equally familiar with Imperfection. The time is past when a minister can afford to ignore the physical limitations of the man he is trying to help toward a better character. He must take into account the imperfect conditions ot heredity and environment to which the individual has been subjected. He must consider the effect upon character of bad air, Insufficient food or clothing, arrested development, deformity, disease, lack of exercise, intemperance in the broadest sense, the use of stimulants and narcotics. It Is simply nonsense to say that a man who lives under the above conditions is to be dealt with in precisely the same way s one who has a more perfect set of conditions about him." It Is "well to pause and reflect. Why should not the preacher before he enters into his life work have as thorough an understanding ot the conditions which make for sin just as the doctor knows and must know the causes of disease? Disease is disease whether it be physical or moral. To

attempt to battle with disease without knowing its cause would be folly In the extreme In a doctor. Why not in a preacher? .

Then too, though theological ques tions may be of the extremest importr ance it is doubtful whether pure theology has done much for the uplift ot the human race. Jesus Christ was not a theologian he was a physician to sick souls. Christ was the Perfect Man and being perfect could conquer and help the imperfections in others. Christianity has its roots not in trifles of ceremony nor yet of hair splitting differences about creeds. Nor has true Christianity much concern about the technicalities of abstruse subjects. This is not saying that science should be excluded far from it. The more he knows the more he will be able to help his fellow man. but above all things he must be able to deal with men. He must know the normal man. The practical preacher Is one who must deal with the tenements, with the liquor question, with social evils, with the question of divorce, with every phase in which modern life is making It hard for the soul of man to withstand . temptation. The saloon, poverty, sweatshop and child labor, all these he must know, and with them the music hall, brothel and he must see clearly the evil which causes them and which they cause. 'He must know men. A movement to make preachers thoroughly conversant with men and the temptations of men is worth more to this country than any other that has been advanced in educational lines for years. There are plenty of practical preachers, but most of them have had to work out all their problems for themselves. These physicians of the soul are wonderful men and It is only occasionally that we stop to consider that they have less real special training for their calling than any other class. When every man Is brought face to face with conditions as the physician in his medical school there will yet be experience for him to gain. But he will gain his experience with understanding. THE HEROES OF PEACE. The sad accident which happened in the trial of the Wright machine is indicative of the great perils which aerial navigation presents. The Wright machine is probably the most perfect of the heavier than air machines which have yet appeared. But the very problem of weight Is still present The strength of working parts of the machine have had to be sacrificed to lightness. Therefore there will have to be many experiments before a stable machine with the required lightness is attained. The loss of life which occurred in the Wright tests is only the first of many perhaps which will have to be sacrificed. Many have already been killed Lowenthal was not the first they go as far back as the time when Icarus sailed too close to the sun. In great discoveries human life has had to be sacrificed before a maximum of perfection is attained. This is true whether it be the discovery of the mosquito theory of malarial and yellow fever inoculation or in the exploration of the far north. The discovery and development of any new continent (witness the early history of North America) is analogous to what must go on In the line of the, aerial problem. All the innocent bystander can do is to hope that the accidents will be few. The great achievements of LaSalle were not minimized by his death in his undertaking, and the western trails are full of bones of dead men. The men who die in the pursuit of things for the betterment of the human race are the heroes of peace. The special elections held to fill vacancies in the legislature are significant in the light they shed on the struggle between the friends and foes of temperance in Indiana. The brewery and distilling interests are using every means in their power to control the legislature and their support falls naturally in the democratic column. The narrow margin of 272 votes was all that saved Cowing up at Muncie in his fight against the saloon forces. This is only a sample of what is going on all over the state and a sample of what the ticket will have to face at the polls in November. The brewing interests are fighting for their lives. The proof of what we say is the fact that the red light district of Muncie went heavily, three to one, against Cowing. What is the answer to this? It means that the better class of citizens in Indiana, those who respect and want a better state of affairs must band together to fight the liquor interests. The saloon interests In politics always mean corruption. They feed on graft and special privileges and law evasion. It is not only a question of county local option; it Is a question of good government. Everybody knows that the Spring, field riots were directly traceable to saloon interests which made for

wide open town and non enforcement of law. It must then be clear what the republican party stands for. Strong laws for social betterment and enforcement of law. The enemies of a party often give it a thorough indorsement. The fight of the brewers against the republican party make it apparent that a vote, for the republicans is against the brewers.

THE SALOON DRUG STORE Sir As a democrat I heartily indorse Governor Hanly's action in calling the legislature in special session. Yet, while I am a bitter opponent of the whisky business, is it Just to stop the saloons and allow the drug stores the freedom to sell intoxicating liquors? Nowadays you can't look over police court records in our daily papers without finding convictions of druggists for selling whisky. Right here in Richmond in the last few weeks there have been two druggists arrested for violating the liquor laws, but ii seems that arresting and assessing fines has no effect on a great many druggists. The only way to stop them is to have a law like Ohio prohibit them from selling the booze in any quantities except on prescriptions ot reputable physicians, and not allow them to fill more than one prescription a day for any one customer and require a separate prescription for each sale. Make them file prescriptions to be open for official Inspection. Make them keep a record. At this time a saloon keeper pays $275 a year license, while a druggist pays $25 a year and is allowed to do the same things that the saloon keeper does. Is this right? I have heard that in Indianapolis and some other Indiana cities, some drug stores sell beer and serve lunches, also, back of their so-called prescription cases. When the blind

(Continued From Friday.) Pbll'p, too, sprang up. "It is a lie!" he shouted. "How dare you say such a thing when I have told you that it is mine!" The policeman collared him by the shoulder. "Steady, my young spark," he said. "Mr. Isaacstein knows what he is about, and I don't suppose he is very far wrong this time. Do you know the boy, sir?" he went on. Isaacstein gave a voluble and accurate summary of Philip's statements. Each moment the policeman's grip became firmer. Evidently the boy was the mere agent of a gang of thieves, though It was beyond comprehension that any one short of an idiot should choose an emissary with broken boots and ragged clothing In order to effect a deal with thet leading house In Hatton Garden. Philip listened to the reelfal In dumb agony. His face was deathly pale, and his eyes glowed with the ragei and shame that filled bis soul. So the man bad been playing with him, merely fooling him until some secret signal by an electric bell bad sent a messenger flying for the police, ' His dream of wealth would end in the jail, his fairy oasis would be a felon's cell. Very well, be it so. If he could help it, not all' the policemen in London should rend his secret from him. With a sudden, glow of fiery satisfaction he remembered that his clothing contained no clew to bis address, and he had not given his name at either Ludgate Hill or Hatton Garden. How long could, they keep him a prisoner? Would others find his meteor and rob him of his mother's jtfft? In less than a fortnight men would come to tear down the buildings in Johnson's Mews. Well, it mattered nor. The courage of despair which nerved him the previous night came to his aid again. He would defy them all, careless of consequence. The policeman was saying: "It's a queer affair, sir. Did he really say he had lots more of 'em?" "Yes, yes! Do you think I am romancing? Perhaps they are in his possession now." "Hare you any more of these stones, boy?" Philip, with lips tensely set, was desperately cool again. He moved his arm, and the constable's grasp tightened. "You are hurting me," said the boy. "I merely wish to put my band in my pocket Are you afraid of me that you hold me so fast?" - The policeman, like the rest, did not fail to notice Philip's diction. The scornful superiority of his words, the challenge of the final question, took him aback. He relaxed his grip and grinned confusedly. Philip instantly produced his paper ooo 0 Aft Hflne

tiger law was up before the la3t legislature the saloon keepers were perfectly satisfied with its provisions, for it protected them from their competitor, the drug store, for the original law prohibited drug stores from selling liquor in any quantity except on a prescription. But the druggists urged that it would ruin their business, (self confession on their part as to what their business was), and by lobbying they succeeded In amending it, allowing them to sell a cuart to any one that signed an application. No prescription is needed on quart sales. Even a person under twenty-one can buy a quart on application and the seller can not be punished. A booze-selling drug store is worse than a saloon, for it is sneaking in what it does, while the saloon is open and above board. I can safely say that I believe one-third of the drug stores in Indiana are mere barrooms. If they have to have bars or sell liquor without prescriptions then make them pay a tax of $250 a year, as they do in Ohio. The question arisas, how can we stop this saloon drug store business? In answer let our legislature pass a law covering these points: 1. Require a prescription for any quantity of liquor. 2. Require a license of $250 a year from druggists in wet territory that desire to sell without a prescription. 3. Require prescriptions in dry territory. 4. Strengthen our pharmacy law so every one can not go Into the business. ' 5. Increase fees for examination and renewal of certificates' and give the board the right to appoint one inspector in each congressional district of Indiana, to inspect pharmacies. 6. Give the board of pharmacy the power to enforce the law, so that it can weed out the saloon drug store. By this way only can the reputable drug store exist and the saloon drug stores be weeded out.

"Judging from results, they would not be safe In that man's hands." But Isaacstein did not hear the Insult. When he saw the collection he nearly lost his senses. What had he done? Was he or the boy mad? Veins stood out on his forehead, and he wabbled so fearfully that he clutched the desk for support. A scarecrow of a boy wandering about London with thousands of pounds' worth of diamonds in his pocket wrapped up In a piece of newspaper like so many sweets! There were not any meteoric diamonds of such value In all the museums and private collections in the world. He began to perspire. Even tho policeman was astounded, quite as much at being called "constable" by rhilip as by the mean appearance of articles presumably of great value. "This Is a rum go. What do you make of It, Mr. Isaacstein?" he said. The query restored Isaacstein's wits. After all, here was the law speaking. It would have been the wildest folly for a man of his position to dabble In this mysterious transaction. With a great effort he forced himself to speak. "Lock him up Instantly. This matter must be fully Inquired into. And do be careful of that parcel, constable. Where do you take him? To the, Bridewell station? I will follow you In a cab In five minutes." So Philip, handcuffed, was marched down the stairs past the gratified olllce boy and out into the street. As for Isaacstein, he required brandy, and not a little, before he felt able to follow. CHAPTER V. IN after years PhiHp never forgot the shame of that march through the staring streets. The everlasting Idlers of London's busiest thoroughfares gathered around the policeman and his prisoner with grinning callousness. "Wofs 'e bin a-doin' of V "Nicked a lydy's puree, eh?" "Nawi Bin ticklin' the till, more Ike." "Bli-me, don't 'e look sick!" They ran and buzzed around him like wasps, stinging most bitterly with coarse words and coarser laughter. An omnibus slowed its pace to let them cross the road, and rhilip knew that the people on top craned their necks to have a good look at him. When nearing the viaduct steps, the policeman growled something at the pursuing crowd. Another constable strode rapIdly to the entrance and cut off the loafers, sternly advising them to find some tb.er destination But the. res-

pile was a bfiet oi3. The pair reached Farringdon street and had barely attracted attention before they passed the restaurant where rhilip had lunched. o.he hour was yet early for midday customers, and the baldheaded proprietor saw them coming. He rushed out. The greengrocer, too, turned from his wares and joined in the exclamations of bis friend at this speedy denouement of the trivial incident of twenty minutes earlier. The restaurant keeper was made Jubilant by this dramatic vindication of the accuracy of his judgment. "The thievin' young scamp!" he ejaculated. "That's right, Mr. Policeman. Lock Mm up. 'E's a reglar wrong 'un." The constable stopped. "Hello!" he said. "Do you know him?" "I should think I did. 'E kem 'ere Just now an' obtained a good blowout on false pretences, an' " "'Old 'ard," put in the greengrocer, "that's not quite the ticket. 'E asked you to trust 'ini, but you wouldn't." The stout man gurgled. "Not me. I know 'is sort. But 'e 'ad you a fair treat, Billy." "Mebbe, an meboe not Ennyhow, two bob won't break me, an' I'm sorry for the kid. Wot's 'e done, Mr. Policeman?" Mr. Judd was nettled, yet unwilling to acknowledge he was wholly wroug. "Stole a heap of diamonds. Do either of you know him?" "Never saw him afore this morninVj "Never bin in my 'ouse before." "Then come along," and Philip was tugged onward,- but not before he found courage to say: "Thank you once more, Mr. Judd. I will keep my word, never fear." "What are you thanking him for?" said the constable. "For believing in me," was the curt answer. The policeman tried to extract some meaning from the words, but failed. He privately admitted that it was an extraordinary affair. How came a boy who spoke like a gentleman and was dressed like a street arab to be wandering about Loudon with a pocketful of diamonds and admitted to the private office of the chief diamond merchant in Hatton Garden? He gave it up, but silently thanked the stars which connected him with an Important case. At last Philip's Via Dolorosa ended In the Bridewell police station. He was paraded before the Inspector In charge, a functionary who would not have exhibited any surprise had the German emperor been brought before him charged with shoplifting. He opened a huge ledeer, tried If his pen would make a hair stroke on a piece of paper and said laconically: "Name?" No answer from the prisoner, followed by emphatic demands from inspector and constable, the former volunteering the information that to refuse your name and address was In Itself an offense against the law. Philip's sangfroid was coming to his aid. The horror of his passage through the gaping mob had cauterized all other sentiments, and he now saw that if he would preserve his incognito he

mot a&r.fz u t "oc. "Philip Morland." he said doggedly when the Inspector .asked him his name for the last time before recordlug a definite refusal. "Philip Morlnnd:' It sounded curi

ously familiar in his ears. His mother was a Miss Morland prior to her marriage, but he had not noticed the odd coincidence that he should have been christened after the "Sir Philip" of the packet of letters so fortunately left be- . bind that morning. I "Address?" I Tark lane." - The Inspector began to write before the absurdity of the reply dawned on $ hlAi. He stopped. 'us your mother a caretaker there or your father employed In a mews?" "My father and mother are dead." "Then will you kiudly inform us what number In Tark lane you live at?" "I have not determined that as yet. I intend to buy a house there." Some constables lounging about the office laughed, and the inspector. Incensed out of his routine habits, shouted angrily: 1 "This is no place for Joking, boy. Answer me properly or It will be worse for you." "I have answered you quite properly. The constable who brought me here has in his possession diamonds worth many thousands of pounds belonging to me. I own a hundred times as many. Surely I can buy a house in Park lane If I like." The inspector was staggered by this well bred insolence. He was searching for some crushing legal threat that would frighten tb boy Into a state of due humility when Mr. Isaacstein entered. The Hatton Garden magnate again related the circumstances attending Philip's arrest, and the inspector promptly asked: "What charge shall I enter? Yon gave him into custody. Do you think he has stolen the diamonds?" Isaacstein had been thinking hard during a short cab drive. His reply was unexpectedly frank. "He could not have stolen what never exWted. There Is no such known collection of meteoric diamonds in the' world." ' J'But there must be, because they are here." By this time the parcel of dirty white stones was lying open on the counter, and both merchant and policeman were gazing at them intently. There was a nettling logic iu the inspector's retort. "I cannot answer riddles," said Isaacstein shortly. "I cau only state the facts. If any other man in the city of London is a higher authority on diamonds than I, go to him and, ask his opinion." "Mr. Isaacstein is right," interposed rhilip. "No one else owns diamonds like mine. No one else can obtain them. I h&ve robbed no man. Give me my diamonds and let me ko." The inspector laughed officially. Ha grazed intently at Philip and then sought illumination from Isaacstein's perturbed countenance, but Isaacstein

was mooclily examining the contents of the paper and turning .over both 'h stones and the scraps of iron with an air of profound mystification.

"We will charge him with being In unlawful possession of certain diamond, supposed to have lxpn stolen. lie ua given me a false name and a allly address. Park lane, the young imp said be lived In."

Seldom Indeed were the minor deities of the police station bcardeJ In this fashion, and by a callow youth; but the Inspector was making the copperplate hair strokes which had gained him promotion, and his brain had gone bnck to Its normal dullness. "I will Just see If we 'cannot bring him before a magistrate at ones," he said, addressing. Mr. Isaacstein. "Can you make it convenient to attend the court within an hour, sir? Then we will get a week's remand, and we will soon find out" , "A week's remand I" Philip became white again, and those large eyes of his began to burn. "What have I done" "Silence!
