Massachusetts, and New Jersey have
taken the lead in improving their rural
highways, bringing them as one paper
puts it, "out of the barbarism of neg
lect and up to the highest standard of
real civilization"
In the western states the trunk lines
of railway have commenced tobeautify
their right of-ways and depot grounds,
and 1t would seem to be about time for
people of Iowa to give the question of
identifying their highways a little at
tention. In. some places, even in Della
ware county, the highways are made
unsightly as we'll as dangerous by peo-
pie using them as places to clean rusty
plows or as dumping grounds for rub
Dish. The more thought we give to
the question of good roads the more do
we become confirmed in the belief that
every county should have road super
intendent. Such an officer is needed
as much as school superintendent.

The recent note of warning sounded
by Great Britain's premier, was, il a
certain sense, timely and statesman
like. Great Britain's South African
war has proved to demonstration
that Lord Salisbury's empire has no
higher sense of right or wrong than the
pirate or the burglar. Gladstone was a
statesman, alover of his fellow men,
and contended that his country was
safe while its policies were just Sails
bury is quite different individual, al
though he recognizes the converse of
the Gladstonian contention Sails
bury knows that his public policies are
morally no higher than those of the
highwayman, and for that reason the
hand of every man is likely to be against
Great Britain any time. In publically
saying this much he sounds timely
note of warning.

Of jurisdiction. He said the court
should be the last to overstep the
bounds limiting its own jurisdiction
and that the determination of cases Of
this character, contests for state Office,
must necessarily be settled by the pc.

Action of Assembly.
That branch had acted in the Ken
lucky case when the general assembly
took jurisdiction. There was no APP
peal from the assembly's decision,
which was favorable to Goebel and
Beckham, except to the tribunal of the
people, which tribunal, the chief JUS
tice said, was always in session. Hc
also said the case was purely state

possession of its faculties as a men,

no emergency Mt this time calling for

A Short Lay Sermon

The Apostle John has recorded some
of the differences between good and
bad shepherds. No proof is required
to establish the nobility of the good
shepherd, the one who works unselfishly
and conscientiously for the betterment
of mankind; and no man is greater
enemy of his fellow man than the bad
shepherd, the one who makes the "Fath
er's house house of merchandise" and
''scattereth the Sheep
The apostle likens the bad shepherd
to the thief and the robber, but is he
not worse? According to the text,
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal,
and to kill and to Destroy" The man
who kills the body is murderer, and
every mans hand is against him; but
what is the status of the individual who
pretends to preach in Gods name, while
his heart is full of unkindness for his
fellow men, and his mind full of
schemes for the plucking of his congro-
CATION? Such men kill the moral life,
the spiritual life Of many and many a
person. And what Is there to be gained
by diverting the noblest of all callings
to such base and unworthy purposes!
In day, in an hour, without a
moments warning, the bad shepherd
may be called to the presence of the
Never-Erring Judge. Suppose that his
record shows that he has accumulated
$4,000 or 100000 by turning the
Fathers house into a house of merchan
disc, and that the lives of 10Oor 500 hu
man beings have been made worse in
stead of better by reason of his ava
rice, what may reasonably be expected
Or, suppose that his want of kindness
and christian charity has been product
i've of like evils, what then? 1t is no
for us to Judge, but we know how tn
Saviour put on vengeancelike carmen
and scourged those who turned Hi
temple into place of gain. The OK
preston of an opinion is not judg
ment, and in our opinion, better deaf
in the hour of birth. better the mi
stone and the deep sea, than to live an
, become bad shepherd in Gods mir
!, listry.

McKinlev and KING George.

There is great similarity between
the records made by Mckinley and
King George, If the Indictment con
tanned in the historic Bill of Rights
was founded upon facts. The Bill of
Rights was adopted by the first colonial
convention in 1874, and led to the Dec
iaration of Independence two year
later. The republican party holds that
the constitution does not extend to
Porto Rido, ands-ity rntstr follow that
Mckinley, while president Of the
United States, is at the same time en-
peror of our newly acquired posses
sions. Now note the parallels between
what Mckinley is doing and the i'm
parchment of King George in the Bill
of Rights. The continental fathers
said:
she has refused to pass laws unless
the people would relinquish the right of
representation in the legislature; right
inestimable to them and formidable to
tyrants only.
HE has made judges dependent on
his will alone for the tenure of their
offices and the amount and payment of
their salaries.
"He has erected a multitude of new
Offices and sent hither swarms of
officers to harass our people and eat out
their substance.
"He has affected to render the mill
tary independent of and superior to the
civil power.
"He has given his assent to acts of
pretended legislation for the purpose of
qusrtering large bodies of armed
troops among US.
They complained against the king;
"For cutting off our trade with all
parts of the world.
"For imposing taxes on us without
our consent
For depriving us in good many
cases of the benefits of trial by jury.
"For abolishing the free system of
English laws.
"For suspending our own Legislatures

Why Nations Become Decadent.

Nations decay when they cease to be
the repository of sacred memories and
just aspirations. When Spain sent her
legions to the New World during the
sixteenth century to slaughter its de-
fenseless inhabitants, it was destroying
its own national life. Men do not
thrill with patriotism and freely offer
their lives for spots of earth deservedly
abhorrent on account of crimes and
cruelties. Yet SPANS sixteenth CEN
fury record in the New World was
much the same as the record made dur
ing the past year by this country in the
Philippines, and by Great Britain In
South Africa. When nation becomes
menace to defenceless humanity, it
soon enters the stage of decadence, and
1t is right that it should.
