TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
CONDUCTED ny MRS. A. O. MosHER


Facts continually warn the people
Of the lawless and diabolical charac-
ter of the liquor power. In johnson
county, Iowa, recently, two saloon
keepers were beinging tried for the
violation of the laws Of the State
when from fifty to one hundred arm
ed men, fred with whiskey gratuit-
ously furnished, broke into the court
room, seized the prosecuting attorney,
stripped him of every vestige of
clothing, covered him with tar and
would probably have killed him in
their insane fury if he had not been
rescued. In Davenport as a prose-
cutting attorney was just starting to
prosecute some saloon law-breakers,
he was arrested on some trumped up
charge, hurried away, but succeeded
in securing bail in time to reach the
court and convict the retailers of the
poison. It is asserted that, in the
State of Illinois, a levy of four dol
lars each has been levied on the sa-
looms to aid in the election of gov
ernor who is pledged to break down
the present high license law. In
convention of saloon-keepers last
week, one of them declared that it
had "cost them power of money"
to elect one of the Supreme Court
Judges, q confession that he is the
creature and tool of the whiskey-sell-
ers. We want all good people to
keep in mind that humanity has no
more unscrupulous, crafty and cruel
foe than the rum power.

A Land of Wonders.

California is the most surprising
State in the Union. Under Spanish
rule it was a land of ranches and
herds Immediately upon it's annex
alton to the United States it's marvel
ous gold productions set every one
wondering. When the placers were
worked out, quartz mining produced
almost equally astonishing results.
Then came the great wheat produc-
ton. Such crops OF gold and grain
were never heard Of before. Cali
fornia next astounded the world by
its vineyards. 1t produced twice as
many grapes to the acre than any
other locality on earth; now there is
a new marvel: fruits of all kinds are
produced in such abundance that
when the season for gathering them
arrives, the labor of the Pacific coast
is found to be wholly inadequate.
On comparatively few acres the Cali
fornia fruit grower can produce nuts,
apricots, grapes, and small fruits OF
all kinds in such magnificent profu-
sion that the labor available utterly
fails to gather the rich harvest. The
despised Mongolian is once more in
eager demand, and the problem Of
the labor supply threatens TO be a
momentous one on the Pacific coast.
The population is sparse, land is
cheap and abundant and the new
emigrant prefers 10 till his own acres
rather than work for other fruit grow
ers. Happy California While the
the problem in all other parts Of the
earth's surface is what 10 do with the
surplus labor, il is the lot Of that
State to be puzzled how 10 get its Ia
Dor, and distribute its superhuous
veAlth-rDemorest's Monthly.

ITO DIE FOR THE COUNTRY"
JOAQUIN MILLER.

while we cannot say much for the poetry
of the following, II is certainly brimful Of
wholesome truth. We are always glad to
publish anything which tends to disenchant
people of the Moloch of War.-ED, FREE
Press.
To die for the country when dying comes
1t is not for the flag, II is not for the land,
II is not for the glory, the battle grand
For all the cannon and the roll of drums
The prayer is not for the flag in the fight,
But ever for home, for babe and for wife,
For life and the loved ones-life, sweet
life
And that Is the prayer in the battles night
/ tell you, to see the man at your side
Sink down as you hear the sickening thud
TO look in his face; to see the blood
Slowly oozing from lips that have lost their
pride!
tell you, to see his brimming eyes swim
I tell you, to see him clutch to the mold
And grasp at the grass as if to hold
The earth from passing away from him !
Oh, ye who have witnessed the dying in
heaps,
The northerner heaped with the southern
er,
Just as the hastening reaper reaps
Blossom and corn and cookie burr.
Answer and say if ever a breath
Was heard of delight to die for the land
Nay, only the reach of helpless hand
To hold each back from the banks of death
Nothing at all, in that last despair,
OF the one last shot in the desperate
strife,
But only prayer, a low, last prayer
For her at the last and for life, sweet life!
Nothing at all of sword from the sheath,
For the one last blow on the field afar, n
But only prayer, then grinding of teeth,
And curse upon those who caused the
war
For, oh it is hard for the man to go,
So many are waiting him far away;
He can hear his kindly-eyed cattle low;
He can see his wife with her babes at play,
So he who says it is sweet to die
For country, has never yet felt or seen
The shock of battle or the sheaves be-
tween,
And tells you pitiful pagan's lie.

A Venerable Man.

There is living, or was living few
weeks ago, in Washington county,
Arkansas, Rev. Thomas A. Tennant,
who operated as q preacher in Missouri
more than seven years ago. He
travelled some time as q supply-how
long we are not informed-but in
1918 he was admitted on trial in the
Missouri Conference, and assigned to
Arkansas circuit. At the conference
OF 1919, held at McKendree Chapel,
Missouri Territory, he was sent to
Pecan Point circuit. At the confer
ence of 1920 he was admitted into
full connection and elected to Dea-
cons orders, but for some reason,
probably absence of sickness, he was
not at that time ordained. His name
here disappears from the minutes he
having located and settled in Wash
ington county, Ark. Has at different
times served that county in the
Legislature and in other capacities.
He was born in October, 1771, and
il he lives through next month win
have lived lib years A friend Of
ours visited him not long since,
reports him very feeble but in good
health, has no pain, has a good appe-
titeand sleeps soundly. He is strong
in the faith and rejoices in hope Of
Immortality. Our friend says his
mind il clear and vigorous on all the
cardinal doctrines Of our holy religion.
and he discusses those doctrines
clearly and forcibly.
We win be glad 10 receive any
further information any one may be

A Grateful and Heroic Negro.
lEufarla (Als.) Times. ]

The circumstances of the most he
roic and romantic deed connected
with the late Everingham disaster was
related TO us yesterday. After the
boat had been banked and roster oi
the crew was called, assistant pilot
Wingate did not answer.
"Where is Wingate :" some one
shouted. ASLEEP in his berth, was
the anwer, and by this time the sup
ports OF the upper deck were being
eaten rapidly away, and the flames
circled round and round over the
hurricane deck, licking the glass OF
the state-room doors, TO disappear
now and anon through the black curls

Love is Best.

Shallow wits are fond of represent
ing the old maid as incarcerated with
vinegar and pepper. 1t is true that
the woman who has no regular active
business to employ her energies and
keep her nature from selfish stagna
ton, is apt to become either cold and
narrow, or cross and cynical, but
there are plenty of exceptions.
There are natures that time sweetens
and mellows, like winter apples, even
when they hang ungathered on the
bough. Such nature belonged to
Phoebe Carey the younger of the
poet sisters, who were so lovely in
their lives, and in death were not
divided. Nothing more pathetic in
it's patience and tenderness was ever
written than this from the pen of one
who was yet-an old maid;
~ would not smother, if could,
Loves inextinguishable fires,
So, banishing from out my heart
The sacredest of life's desires.
can walk onward and endure
Whether the way be smooth or rough,
But will not school myself to think
Life's round of duties is enough.
Over my eyes, most sad to-day,
My tresses as they will may fall
A hand to put them softly back,
I've only dreamed of, that is all.
God gives his creatures many gifts,
And ever precious are the rest;
But this say. with unkissed lips,
That love is better than the best"
One can scarcely read it without
tears. 1t is plain that it comes from
the heart and reveals the small. sweet
need of woman to be loved. Ittells of
tears falling upon the laurels of a
we'll earned fame; of soul, sick OF
fulsome alteration and longing for
the low-spoken words of tenderness,
dreaming in the dreary night time,
of cheerful freside and domestic
Joys. 1t tells of a spirit strong
enough for any fate, yet gentle enough
to desire life of quiet, sheltering
love, and candid enough to confess
that desire. 1t tells of the trembling
of those ''unkissed lips" when the
future, with its cheerless and lonely
age, rises before the eyes that look
sadly forward into coming time,
yet there is no repining; no envious
murmuring; no gall of sarcasm pour
ed upon the more fortunate of her
sisters, who wear the roses of love,
instead of the scentless amaranths of
fame. There is nothing save the
simple, touching acknowledgment
that of life's many gifts
Love is better than the best"
