able way, to get rid of the embarrass-

seemed unable to release itself, It was
supposed this obligation, by the meas

Ed Register-Once in a while we
hear some one specializing upon the
probable cause of the present panic.
How soon people forget. Only short
while ago the bankers of the east de-
manded of Secretary Carlisle the issue
of government bonds. These demands
were persistently refused by Mr.. Car
isle, and it is the humble opinion of
your correspondent that those bankers
entered into a conspiracy to compel
the issue of government bonds. AS
every one knows that the government
bonds are the life of the national banks,
it is easy to see the motive. Those
bankers were working for their bread
and butter. After they had started the
panic or financial stringency, it as
sumed gigantic proportions and they,
being unable to control it, were them
selves the victims of their own men
dacity. When panic is once started,
no matter what the cause, it affects
every one in it's reach, and the great
body of the people like herd of buff
faloes, though they know not the first
cause of the fright, seeing others in a
fright, become as badly frightened as
those who first saw the cause for alarm.
To illustrate this point. allow me to
relate an incident that happened in
Knox county, Indiana. About twenty
years ago a man by the name OF Haw-
kins lived there near the then Welton
church. Between the church and
Hawkins house was hollow. Haw-
kins was the township constable and
had boy Lee, and two dogs. A
young man named Fields lived with
Hawkins, and one dark night when the
elder Hawkins was away on business,
Fields told Lee to keep the dogs at
home; that he intended to slip down in
the hollow toward the church and
Accordingly Fields took sheet, spread
it over his person, ard started out on
his errand. Lee soon became tired
and lonesome at the house and con-
cluded to help Fields scare his father.
So securing another sheet he folded it
around him and went out very quietly
to help in the work of soaring his faith
err. He easily found Fields and very
quietly took up his position by his
side without word. Presently Fields
looked around and 10! and behold,
there sat figure dressed in white.
His hair stood on end, and with a yell
he started for home as hard as he could
run. Thinking that Fields had seen
some awful monster, young Hawkins
also got scared and started for home
after Fields, each one putting in his
best ticks. So when the New York
bankers saw the extent of the panic
they had kicked up, they were in turn
panic striker and thus is fulfilled the
Scripture, which says, HE that STAY
eth by the sword, by the sword shall
he be slain" And now that the panic
is over and business is beginning to
revive, would it not be we'll enough to

twenty years. Ironton has improved
in buildings and population for the last
twenty years, and she will be larger

rich mineral region around her, and if
you look at the map you will see that
our little city stands nearly in the center

her, if her citizens will only join hands
in laying out the work for the future.

Would It Be Honest2

Ed. I,adependeaat-I have observed
with considerable degree of interest
agitation of the question of the re-
moval of Bellevue Collegiate Institute
and presume the St. Louis Conference,
at its approaching session, will be urgss
ed to take such action as will lead to
this result. Remembering that some
such suggestion had taken an annual
round of the S. f. Mo. Press for some
time past, was not inclined to attach
anything more than the usual signifi-
canoe to the utterances, until my eye
fell upon an article in the St. Louis
CHRISTIAN Aacocate, which clearly indi-
Gates the formal presentation of the
subject before the Conference soon to
assemble at West Plains, with a very
strong and able contingent of that body
to favor and urge the removal. l am
forcib1y reminded of a similar effort
ION much larger scale) to secure at
the hands of the State Legislature the
removal of the State University from
Colum bia; and for the same reason that
Iopposed through your paper that prop
osition, l am opposed to this. Such
action aUould not be honest. While this
is not conclusive plea (a.ways) before
the average State Legislature, and in
the case referred to, had to be accom-
panied by the additional argument of
bonus No. to the amount of some six
ty Or seventy thousand dollars, before
religious body such as the st. Louis
Conference it should be final and con-
elusive. Let US see if there, is really
parallel. When the State of Missouri
decided to establish State University
it left the question open to competitive
bids. and when 1t was found that Col
umbia offered the best bid, the Univer-
sity was given to her. When the st.
Louis Conference favorably considered
measure looking to the location of a
Conference school within its bounds
a committee was appointed to receive
and consider such bids as should be Of
fered, take action thereupon and re-
port to Conference. Arcadia and Cal
edonia were the principal, II not the
sole competitors. DIR. Farrar, of Ar
cadia, who had almost everything at
stake in securing the location for his
own place, was q member of that COM
mittee, If am not mistaken, and though
it meant to him heavy loss, when the
bids were opened, and upon their lace)
it was found that Caledonia had made
the best bid for the location, It was
unanimously given to her. This action
was reported to the Conference and
approved by that body. and an agent
placed in the field to solicit snbscrip-
tions for the further equipment ard

ference school. The acceptance Of a.
