HONEST opinions, frankly ex-
pressed, mark the progress Of
true manhood and civilization.
When we make an effort to meet
a condition, instead of wasting
our time trying to exploit a
theory we will then, as a people,
advance in material as well as
social interests. This can be ap-
piled with telling effect on the
social and business interests of
our town at the present time.

denying the Farmers Advocate,

be a political move on the part
of a republican official to crush
out the Advocate; but it looks

Of eight councilmen, and it is
most earnestly hoped that they
will become united on a policy
for good government that will
receive the endorsement of all
our people. While the individual
members Of the council may have
different ideas as to what is the
best method of handling the sa-

be willing to modify his course
in order to meet the others, to
the end that some definite action
may be had.

Nor long ago the wife of a
western Kansas politician asked
him to lay aside politics long
enough one day to dig the pota-
toes in the garden. After digging
a few minutes he went to the
house and said he had found a
coin. He washed it off and it
proved to be a silver quarter.
He put it in his jeans and went
back to work. Presently he went
to the house again and said he
had found another coin. He
washed the dirt off of it. 1t was
a silver half dollar. He put it in
his jeans. 81 have worked pretty

The Unifarians and the Universai-

Among the various movements to-
ward church union that between the
Unitarians and Universalists has at
tracted considerable notice. 1t appears,
however. that the impulse on the part
OF the Unitarians is stronger than on
that Of the other body. While there
are some things In which the two sym.
pathize, there Is one radical difference.
The Universallst church has always
stood openly, unequivocally and ag.
gTessively for belief In the divine
Sonshlp and Chrlsthood Of Jesus as set
forth In the New Testament. On the
other hand, the Unitarian churches.
which formerly, under the influence of
Claiming, stood on Biblical ground In
regard to this matter, have now drifted
so far away from 1t that at their ma.
tional conference In 1894 they so
amended the constitution Of the confer.
ence and its preamble as to strike out
all recognition Of the Chrsthood OF Je.
sus and to put the conference thereaft.
er on a merely ethical basis Since that
time the Unitarian church admits to its
fellowship and to its pastorates men
who distinctly deny that they are
