What We Are All Seeking.

There is a forlOrn little village stu
ated away up among the hills and it is
a very hard place to reach; one has to
climb and climb to get there No trains
run through this village, no horse can
take you there; you must depend wholly
uNon yourself, and it is q very tiresome
Journey.
But many people go there, and some
how they all find their way to the same
tiny cottage, such a dear little place!
1t is always surrounded with blooming
flowers, so fresh and sweet that one can
smell them from afar off. The travellers
always smile as they look at these flow
ers, then they hurry to the door, and
before they can knock it is opened and
they are shown into what seems to them
a paradise, so weary and worn are they
from the long journey.
AS they sit quietly, taking in with
deep enjoyment the surroundings, there
comes to them woman, SO tender, so
sweet, so beautiful and radiant with
light that they know in an instant 1t is
the one they seek Each one asks the
same question, your name?" and all
receive the answer, "My name is Con-
tentment." They hear 1t with sigh of
relief But as the speaker goes on they
look up in astonishmnt She says to
them: "Why did you take this long
journey? Why look SO far for me? /
have been with you at your home, but
you would not see me. Go back, and
will be there to welcome you" So they
all turn back with many misgivings,

and 10! there Is Contentment.

What We Need In the Home.

We all know what the society Of The
Kings Daughters is, but perhaps some
do not have the opportunity to read the
heart-to-heart talks by Mrs. Margaret
BOttOme in the Ladies' Home Journal
about this society and what it means.
Mrs. Bottome knows just how to reach
down into the heart of things and bring
to light all the faults we try to hide, but
she gives us remedy which never fails
tc cure them. want to give to the read
ers OF this page few extracts from her
articles, and believe mothers as well
as daughters will find them both inter
esting and instructive.
Mrs. BOttOme says: "It has occurred
to me to say that it would be q good
thing for families to form themselves
into circles of The Kings Daughters
with the purpose of showing kindness
at home. There is much unkindness at
home which comes from simple selfish
ness. The cry is still in my ears that
came to me only few days ago from a
young girl who will never see her mother
again on earth. She begged me, almost
commanded me, to write to the young
girls who read the Journal to warn them
to be kind to their mothers. She said,

part Of the state an disposed Of.
If the law is sustained, 1t will
make little If any difference
to the tax payers of this vicinity
then, as private owners will have
possession of the land. If the
United States courts decid, that
the entire contract has been de-
stroyed, the people Of the state
will greatly regret the legislation
that has been enacted.
There was an honest difference
Of opinion over the merits Of tn 4
Anderson bill, but it was pass,'d,
and those who opposed it felt that
they acted in the interests of the
state.
The bill became a law, is now in
the United States courts, and is in
no way an issue in this cam
paign. 1t is not mentioned as an
issue in any other district in the
state. Members of the senate in
other districts have been renomin.
ated or defeated regardless of
their attitude on this bill. There
were % vo tes cast against the bill.
Of the 10 Republicans who voted
against the bill, 9 have been re:
nominated, generally without op.
position. and some have no op-
position even in the election.
Their constituents do not regard
the Anderson bill as an issue, and
it is not an issue. The kepublic
an senators who voted against
the bill and have been renominat.
ed are: Co]lister, Fuller, Greer,
Lloyd, Macarthur, Potter, Roverud,
Stockton and Sweuingsen. Sena.
tor Schaller, a Democrat WHO vot.
ed against the bill, is renominat.
ed. Senator McHale, a Democrat
who voted against the bill, was
not a candidate for a. third term,
but his standing as a creditable
leader is shown by the fact that
he was made chairman of the
Democratic convention that re.
Gently nominated John Lind for
governor.
The opposition to Fuller this
campaign have made no other is.
sue against his legislative record
than that he voted against the
Anderson bill. In no place else in
the state do the people regard that
as an issue in selecting their sena-
tors this year. and it is not a issue
here. A larger percentage Of Re.
publican senator's who voted
against the bill have been re-
nominated than of. those who
favored it.. As all the Democrats
opposed the bill, there is no chance
for comparison with them.
Locally there is sometimes an
effort made to convince the people
that the rallroa l companies pay no
taA es, and that those who opposed
the Anderson bill desired to aid
the railroad companies in escap-
ing taxation. The fact is that
tho pc who opposed the Anderson
bill did So to preserve contracts

compelled to pay great revenues

Of benefit to the state long after
