THE CLOSED STREET CARS.
The Rapid Transit Company Try
ing to Meet the New Law.

ITO 1t"Dtu AIetIISIU OOIIIp d1y Try
ing to Meet the New Law.
1t is not generally known that the
new law requiring vestibuled street
cars went into effect last Friday, and IN
justice to the Rapid Transit Company
of Minneapolis it may be said that it
has endeavored to comply with the new
conditions. AS a matter of fact, how
ever, slow progress has been made, ow-
ing to the large number OF new cars
purchased, ano especially is this the
case with regard to the open cars. A
heavy purchase of the latter was made
at the close of the season. and the work
in putting on the veslibules has been
materially delayed. President Lowry
is strongly impressed with the necessity
of the closed cars, and every effort is
being made to comply with the law.

PALESTINE. Tex, Dec. 4.-This morn
ing, about O'Clock, woman's shrieks

Faith.

For faith there is no ineligible def
milton, for it only exists in the imagi-
nation; but the best l know, is, that
something that enables a person to
think that he believes that which his
Judgment tells him is not so. The SUI
perstitions of all ages and races of men
are and have been supported by faith
and faith alone. Go to the land of the
Buddhist and behold an institution sup
ported by faith that sanctions enfanti-
eide, that makes wOmanhOOd crime.
Behold there the fair widow bound up
on the funeral pyre Of her late husband.
Go to the kingdom of Matabili and be-
hold the multltudes of men, women and
children crushed beneath the knObker-
ry on the charge of witchcraft. which
their institutions, supported by faith
teaches them to be in existence. Go to
Dahomy and see the king slaughtering
seven thousand of his subjects at clip
to accompany his predecessor to anoth
er world which nothing can tell him
exists for him but his faith. If you
have high regard for institutions sup
ported by faith, am inclined to think
it will be transferred into good,
healthy contempt. SUNOL.

Our Thoughts.

All deeds when not committed in the
heat of passion, or by people of unsound
reason, and even then there is room for
doubt, are the result of our thoughts.
If then, such thoughts have been pre-
viously presented to our minds, they
must have had the consent of our will
power before we could execute them.
Therefore our deeds are the result of
the exercise of our will-power. If we
entertain evil thoughts evil must be the
result to ourselves, and too often tow
ards our fellow man. But if our
thoughts are good and pure our lives,
will be likewise. Are we willing to be-
come better citizens better men, better
Christians? If so that willingness is
accepted according to our knowledge.
We all know good from bad, if not we
have only to learn the fifth chapter of
st. Matthew and we have true guide
given by the Master. Begin by reject
ing all thoughts that conflict with the
divine laws as to mans duty to man.
1t is not that which presents itself to
you, which harms you or edifies you,
it is that which you retain willingly.

The Skeptic.

There is one species of mankind that
has never been rightly understood by
the general run Ofmen. This wrongly in
terpreted species is the skeptic. Nobody
but the skeptic himself can understand
why he is an unbeliever. The world
knows nothing of his struggles with
unbelief 1t would not sympathise
with him if it did. Bigotry always gets
the better of benevolence. The world
points with Scorn to the skeptic, be-
cause he will not humbly follow it's
leadership. Society cannot understand
why one does not believe: therefore it
casts the skcptic out and bids him
walk within circle of his own. The
prospect of immortality is enough to
make almost anyone believe in the
Christian religion. The noble charac-
ter of Christ temptS one to believe in
his divinity and the sublime doctrine
Of the immortality of the SOUL caters
to the finer nature of men. Then why
does one doubt the veracity of the
Christian religion? Because contrary
mind will not be forced into believing
that which it holds to be untrue. This
is why the skeptic has never been un-
derstood. Society does not consider
the tleXibility of the human brain. 1t
has standard of its own and judges
all by that standard, never thinking
some are different from others.

With the whole world in his scope.

For the eggs that never hatch.

Who are sitting. standing, moving
Beneath the same great sun;
Ever eager for the future.

No man should be allowed to vote in
any election who cannot read and write.
The illiterate voters know not the re-
sponsibility of suffrage, neither are they
competent of having voice in the af-
fairs of any country; as well lead a
mule to the polls and let him bray his
choice. Citizens of foreign birth, if
educated in their own language need
not understand our language in order
to insure just discrimination of their
ballots. The fundamental principles
of good government are better known
to Europeans than to the average
American. Thousands of Americans
vote without knowing why they vote;
or understand the platform of any of
the political parties. This is what
makes extra sessions of Congress neceS-
sary. c. c.

If the suffrage was restricted to those
only who could read and write, without
regards to sex or color, it would be the
death blow. to the gang and machine
politics. In this age of intelligence,
when man does his own thinking, no
one man nor committee of men should
say who should or who should not be
elected. | have ne doubt but there are
men who can cast an intelligent ballot
although they cannot read. But they
are small minority of that vast army
of unlettered foreigners that is dumped
annually on our shores, who do not know
who or for what they vote but simply
vote because their leader says so. If
they were denied the privilege of voting
we would soon have men of brains to
fill the positions of trust instead of so
many of those who gain them by dirty
work. YON.

1t seems to me that the suffrage laws
are unjust in good many ways. For
instance: The man who owns property
and the nOn-hOlder are on all equal foot
ing. This should not be. Outside of
national and state elections the non
holder should not have any voice. 1t
is in the minor elections where the
questions of raising and dispOSing Of
the greater part of the taxes are settled.
Only he who pays taxes should have
any voice in their disposal. This should
apply as well to women as to men.
Thirty years ago the subject of impOs-
ing an educational test was brOached in
Congress- Every year is proving the
wisdom of this. Every voter should be
able to read. There is no more injustice
in this than keeping intelligent women,
who own property in fee from the bal
lot box MAC.
Every man who has reached the age
of manhood is entitled to cast vote
But what mistake is it, and yet
no preventative. 1t appears to me that
this sacred trust is becoming more and
more abused and degraded each sue
ceeding year. A large percentage of
ballot casters are in their highest ele-
ment during the hours of election. for to

The True Christian.

The true Christian has tranquil
depth of peace and consolation which
no cyclones can reach or ruffle, and
serene heighth of meditation and
prayer where no skeptisisms brood,
or anxieties dim the luminous ether;
where the strokes of success do not
elate nor the blows. of failure depress;
where the fine influx of gold streams
neither enriches, nor the loss of pelf
brings sense of impoverishment; !;
where visions of Christ are finer than
coronets of earthly power, and joys
are tasted that are fresher and hap
pier than the mersiest laughter of
banquet halls or the fairest play of
youth and beauty. - Rev. Philip
Graft, in Oakland Lutheran.

A high flying storm passed over
this place about 3 o'clock on Satur-
day afternoon. 1t came SO suddenly
that it was here and gone before
peaple realized it. Telegraph people
say it came from Huntingdon 40 odd
miles in 30 minutes, which can hard
ly be, for a storm moving at that rate
of speed would not leeve standing, a
house or barn or tree that it fairly
struck. In town it lifted the roof off
Kelly McNeai's S stable on Water ST,
sailed it over the house of Mrs. Diehl,
and rasped it over the tin roof of Nc
Clintlc's hardware store doing S25 to
$50 damages, and banged it against
The post office smashing a shutter
and doing other damage to the
house, and landed in Main st.
The damage to fruit trees about town
is to numerous to mention. A large
tree at the lower point of the Island
was torn down, and a large oak tree
under which Indians sat many days
at tho south side of town by the old
ware house was uprooted a moment
after jeff Middagh drove past. The
tops Of locust trees about town were
twisted off; cherries and apples were
shaken of. The loss ir fruit in the
track OF the storm is great. Corn in
many places was broken off at the
ground, running the crop. Peaches
by the bushel were shaken down.
The barn of John f. Meyer scarcely
a mile IN an air line southeast Of
town was partly unroofed. His rasp-
berry bushes stripped Of their fruit
and greatly damaged, and his peach
orchards injured and the fruit almost
all shaken off. Robert McMeen and
post master McCauley were coming
down the Pike between Cuba and
town, and were in the edge of the
storm. Several times they thought
their top wagon would go over Nc
Mems hat was carried off in the
gale. MoCauley says the storm pass
ed them apparently at rate of
speed twice as fast as the swiftest
railroad train. A strip of slate roof,
30 feet long by 20 feet wide of the
Railroad Machine shop WAS carr
off.
