An Old Custom Rebuked.

Most of the county papers in Mis-
souri, print Cards of Thanks offered
by the people who take this method OF
canceling obligations to neighbors who
have helped them in times of grief or
distress. The Landmark, of Platte
City, has undertaken to break up the
practice. The last card received was
not printed, but instead the editor
offered this lesson in manners:
''This notice of thanks business is not
encouraged by respectable newspapers
1t is Yankee idea and savors of the
-bloodedness of the north When
the people of the west and south do an
act of charity or kindness to a neighbol
they do it as duty or a pleasure, and
that ends it. A public card of thanks
is not in good taste. 1t is not expected
and not desired"

Greeting for the Year 1905.

| ITO one and each and all. glad New Year,
Aud may all come TO each. that each holds dear.
That lives and moves and is, in Ninty five.
1t is customary for the individual
with the beginning of each year to
promise himself many new resolutions
for the betterment of his conditions.
In harmony with this old custom We
promise ourself many favorable changes
in The REPORTER which we sincerel,
hope we may be permitted during the
year 1895 to carry out. The new year
comes in as they most all do, clothed in
all the rainbow tints of hope. The old
year has left us bowed down with
many disappointments and so much OF
unfrultful endeavor, which We're just as
bright and promising when they came
to us with 1894. Each year has its
promises and we continue to look for
ward to and hope for our ideal realiza-
our resolutions are excellent but we fail
utterly in carrying out our hearts
desires. AS we welcome these oppor-
tunities and new duties may we
admonish every one to put more OF
zeal into the choice of opportunities so
that when this year ends we may be
we'll satisfied with our years accomplish
ments.
Our failings of the past year can now
only be used as a stimulus for stronger
and more active efforts in 1895. May
our mistortunes and disappointmentsi il
1894 act as renewed motive power foi
greater accomplishments in 1895.
One has most appropriately said:
''The universal heart of humanity
always welcomes another chance. Ever
conscious of past failures and mistakes,
which have tingcd the memories of tn,
old year with sadness, humanity makes
new resolutions and looks gladly for
ward to Il year peopled with opportunl-
ties and hopes. Nor is this foolish. |,
is but the profound truth that the
millennium is here, now and always, il
we all want it. Happiness and prosper
ity beyond all our wishes would surely
come, if all would do their part. Re-
solving better things, humanity has
right to expect better things. What a
year it would be for industry if en-
ployer and employed would each ODE,
in all things the Golden Rule. What d
year i'll finance, if for the 50 blessed
weeks no man would seek what belongs
to his neighboi. What's year in politics,
if every man in every party would SET
his face against everything that is not
for the good of the county. What a
wear for those whose lives haye been
shadowed and hard, if every human
trustee of the Creators gifts would
answer 10 his own conscience and bj
consistent action the question: ''Am /
my brothers Keeper"

may have been, [ am free to say, but
| figures would not necessarily rroye it
Ii there had not been, the figures could
still be the same. An Investigation
might disclose the fact that stale bread
coarse meat, dirty sugar, adulterated
coffee, tea dust, rank butter, stale lard
musty prunes and the like in every
article of diet, had been used for the
support of the inmates in the several
institutions, and charged up at prices
suitable for the kind and quality which
the generous taxpayer intended should
! be furnished.
The difference between the prices for
good goods and for poor goods, though
divided several times, would amount to
a nice little sum at the end of each wear,
and who will ever tell? The deaf and
dumb cannot talk, the blind are incau-
able OF writing to any extent, the
insane are cranks and the prison birds
are unworthy of belief. If these or
any of these evils exist, who will
expose them?
This same law provides that any
person feeling agrieved may make com
plant to the Board of Control, and that
no letters containing any complaint
from an inmate directed to the Board
OF Control shall be DELAYED or interiered
with by any uperlntendent, etc, Gust
as if he would). But read the law care
fully and note its application, and you
will readily see that the State Board ol
Control Is directed by the law to assume,
and the fact is 1T does assume actual
personal management and control o1
each of the several institutions herein
before named. Now, of what avail
would complaint be-except additional
hardship and privatioI? If evils should
exist 1t would be like complaining i'll
hades to the devil himself Bear in
mind, L am not crltlcislng the State
Board of Control. | AIN simply calling
attention to the evils thai might be ii
perchance dishonesty and selfshness
should gain place under such law.
The general government has deemed
it necessary to provide Tor the appoint
ment of bank examiners for natio nal
banks are esteemed by the people
equally as honest as professional poliiI-
cians and office holders. Yet experience
has demonstrated that this arbitrary
check upon the national banks has not
been wasted powder; errors have been
discovered and probably many others
torestaled and prevented. Then why
not, as one means Of remedyino the
evils that might exist, have separate
Board, of Inspection, one not concerned
IN appointments or purchases, but with
full power of suspension or removal.
One more suggestion, which will
explain itself. Why not put the public
schools, established for educational
purposes, all upon the same footing?
Why call it charity to educate the blind
and the deaf and dumb and the orphans,
and at the same time maintain the
district school and the university at
public expense?
There is much more that might be
said, but / refrain. Yours very truly,

The I.vangplistir Meetings.

There will be meetings at the Baptist
church every evening this week except
Saturday. A prayer service is held at
7.l5 in the parior OF the church, while the
time OF the mo e general meeting is 7.30.
Beside the appointment FOR the even
ings, atteI tion is called to two Others Tor
Tuesday, " eeinesday, Thursday and Fri
day. On each OF these days, from $50 to
1890 a. m., the pastor will be at his home
to meet any who are interested to become
Christians, while at 2.3o p m. there VIII
be bible reading. conducted by Mr.
Wymsn, in the vestry.
Those who attended the bible readings
OF last week will certainly not need TO be
urged to be present this week. III every
professed Christian in the city could
have attended these meetings, without
shadow of doubt the lndiv ldual Chrls-
tians would have received blessing, ana
the church-life OF the community would
have been strength ened and bettered.
The attendance at all OF the services has
been good, as has also been the attention
and interest. More sensationalism might
be the means of effecting larger surface
results. Mr.. Wyman commends himself
by conducting the meetings in such a
way that whatever the results they would
seem only permanent and helpful.
While his sermons are strong ana help-
full, those who have heard him sing in
these meetings, will have no difficulty in
believing that God has used Mr.. wy
mans gift of song to bless many.
