Give the s. NJ. II. A. Il chance to do
what it can, but don't forget it has lost
its identity us Il popular movement. 1t

ton, and every dollar they spend in adj
vertising their lands will be of advan
tage somewhere, but whether the money
! spent by the corporation in publishing

business, will have an effect equal to
the cost, may we'll be questioned, unless
1t is the intention Of the corporation to
swallow the Record, rs apparent, and
send it East to the friends of the people

The SlaytOn Gazette 'siZes them up''
over at Slayton just about as we have
done a thousand times about Worth
ington. There is no doubt whatever
that the class referred to are the great
est curse to any community. They are
worse than the mucl-abused "whisky''
element because they do their mischief
under the cloak of religion. The Ga
zette says:
People who profess religion should
try to be just little consistent. 1t is
certainly not in accordance with the
teachings of the scripture to back.b bite,
dead beat and belittle those who hon
estly differ with them on 4 question
which the great minds have failed to
solve. Two things we despise. One is
the narrow.minded bigot and hypocrite,
