? Judge Alton Brooks Parker, can
didate for the presidency, contrib
utes an article on “Educated Men
that the political conditions which
reflect dishonor on the United
States are largely due to the num
ber of educated men who take on
ly a tepid interest in politics. He
rounds them up sharply for their
hesitancy and their timidity, and
draws an unfavorable contrast be
tween them and the corresponding
class in England.
“A man who would succeed in
business,” he says, “should begin
at the bottom and work toward
the top, which he may reach if he
masters every detail of his work,
and proves himself more skillful
than those who are vicing with
him in the struggle for it's ulti
mate control. The same rule ap
plies in politics. There are ex
ceptions to the rule, but they tend
to prove it, as exceptions usually
do; as where a father makes the
fatal erro-- of putting his young
and tint;.lined son at the head of a
great business about which he
knows nothing, or an accident in
politics places a man without ex
perience in public affairs in an of
fice of great p over and responsi
bility.

in Politics,” in which lie holds
“Tile result, in either ease, is
disappointment and failure, and
the penalty of creating an excep
tion to a well-founded rule is visit
ed not only on those so premature
ly and, therefore/ unfortunately
selected, but also on those who un
wisely entrusted them with a res
ponsibility that they were not in
any possible measure prepared to
assume Young men, therefore,
should be content to begin at the
foot of the political ladder.
“You are naturally asking
yourselves where, at home, when
my education is comp eted, and 1
have entered i ..on m.\ chosen, pur
suit lor life, snail 1 find the oppor
tunity to render even a modest
service toward bettering govern
mental conditionsf 1 answer with
out hesitation, that wherever your
home may be, there you will find,
upon investigation, a chance fir
helpfulness. In nearly every town,
county and city, governmental ex
penses are rapidly increasing.
KXTKAVAOANCK is UKKAT.
“Although, for considerable
portions of the increase, corres
ponding benefits are being receiv
ed, the tendency to wastefulness
and extravagance is not only
marked, but it already threatens
our municipalities, in the not dis
tant future, with a burden that
will be borne with exceeding dif
ficulty. This is due largely to the
fact that men of education, supple
mented by professional and busi
ness training, are unwilling to con
tribute, as did their fathers in the
past, some portion of their time
and ability toward the duties of
local government.
‘•The result naturally is that too
many men, with but little at stake,
and without any ambition to be
useful to the community in which
I they live, seek for and obtain local
i executive offices, as well as those
of a legislative character, with
most unfortunate results. This is
j to be seen on every hand, and as a
rule it is not the fault of the local
party leaders, who are too often
i unjustly censured and held respon
sible for such conditions.
“As a general thing, they would
have it otherwise if they could,
and to that end often make stren
uous efforts to persuade able men
to accept such offices, knowing full
well that such acceptance would
be beneficial to the community
and become a source of strength
to the party with which they are
allied, Hut of the late years their
efforts have been too often unavail
ing, owing, l think, to a failure
of appreciation of the fact that ev
ery American owes to the (-rovem
ment which protects him, and of
which he is justily proud, such aid,
in addition to that of mere voting,
as his other duties will permit.”
He then turns to the contrast
presented by England. There he
says, “A different view is-held ot
the duty of capable men of affairs
in respect to the administration of
the systems of local politics with
a necessarily beneficial result, in
municipal government.
"Instead of imitating their ox
ample, or following in the foot
steps of our own fore-fathers, out
tendency is to ignore our local res
ponsihilities until the time arrives
; when abuses are no longer tolera
ble, when the aid of legislation i;
sought."

Good Results of Work Rone by Mis
sionaries of the American Sun
day School Union.
1 Editor The Journal:
1 lie following is a sample of the
good work being done by the
|
i American Sunday School Union:
In September, a missiona
ry the Union found the com
munity, south of Sulphur Rock,
j known as the “(hip neighbor
hood, without preaching, Sunday
school or church membership. The
missionary planted a Sunday
School, and as it is the custom of
the missionaries of the Union to
hold evanglistic meetings at neg
| lected places, where they have
planted Sunday schools, the Rev.
( . W . Burks, of Siloam Springs, j
state missionary of the Union,
agreed to help in a ten days tneet
i ing.
iiio meeting was hold, and the j
number of hopeful conversions is
known only to(iod. It is known
that a Methodist Episcopal church
South, with 51 members was or
ganized, and that there are quite
a number, if properly looked aft
er, yet to join, and a number to
i join elsewhere.
As a further result of the meet
ing, a neat, substantial church
house will be built at once.
1 he missionaries, as they always
do, urged the people to organize
themselves into a church, and as
there was not room for two
churches there, to go together,and
let the majority say what church
1 should be organized. Fifty-one
persons agreed to go into a church
i organization. Forty-eight ex
pressed their preference for the
Methodist, and three for the Bap
tist. They all went Methodist.
The missionaries sent for the
Rev. C. 11. Newman, pastor of the
Sulphur Rock circuit, and turned
the 51 members over to him. Had
they preferred the Baptist, Pres
byterians, or any other denomina
tion, the missionaries would have
sent for a preacher of the church
' chosen by the people.
Why the fifty-one members?
Why a Methodist church house?
A little Union Sunday School,
planted by a missionary of the A
meriean Sunday School Union.
Back of that, good men, women,
Sunday Schools and churches fur
nished the money to send the mis
sionary out into the rural districts.
And la^t, the meeting that follow

The above is the kind of work
: the American Sunday School U
nion is doing. No selfish motives.
All her work is for the churches.
And surely sin1 should have the
prayers, sympathy and aid of
those she is working tor.
