simplicity of administration has cost
the tax payers of Wapello county for
this office $S60.S1 more in two years
than for a similar length of time under
republican administration. For the
expense over and above the contribu'
ton by the State of $50 and the 81
fee paid by each applicant comes out
Of the county treasury.
In other words, Mr.. Dimmit's Insti,
tute and expense account has already
cost the county SO per cen more than
those of Mr.. Parks. Does the impair
tial voter and taxpayer believe that
the results have been SO per cent
greater as evidenced by the instruc-
tion Of our children? Does he believe
that We now have schools in SO per
cent larger number in the county than
We had two years ago? Has Mr.. Dim.
mitt actually been obliged to use SO
per cent more printed matter and pos
tage than Mr.. Parks? If you a NO
to these queries then it must be that
the present incumbent has paid unus-
ual amounts to his friends and a~cquain.
tances called here to address the In
%stitute, and has paid very unusual
sums for his supplies.
Is it not time, Mr.. Voter, to again
place your confidence in the republi-
can administration of this office?

PEOPLES PULPIT.


Editor Daily Courier:-By your cour-
tesy permit me to interrogate Chairman
Baker of the socialist party of our
county on the questions that follow.
But first permit me to say that these
question are neither asked for contro-
versal or political reasons but for in
formation only.
First. Does socialism teach that it
is identical with Christianity?
Second. Did Christ teach socialism
as a system as now taught in America?
Third. Was the condition describ-
ed in the Acts of the Apostles (where
it is stated, Acts 2:44::45 and 4:34::
80, that they had all things COM
mon" and that they distributed to
"every man according as he had
need'') a sample of ideal socialism?
Fourth. Is the profession and fact
of, or would Christianity be a necessary
prerequisite to one being a true So
cialist?
Fifth. Did Christ teach any certain
system of political economy or give
his recognition to any CERTAIN system
or form of government?
Sixth. Does atheism, agnosticism,
Deism or any other religious or anti
religious belief prevent one from being
a true socialist in its fullest political
significance.
Definite answers to these questions
are asked and will be received without
attempt to controversy.
With true Difference. "a Citizen"
These questions We're turned over to
DR.. N. A. Baker, chairman of the So
cialist central committee for Wapello
county, who says:
Editor Daily Courier: With thanks
for your consideration in turning over
to me the several questions by "a
Citizen asked me and sent to you for
publication and presuming on your ed
itorial generosity in the publication OF
my reply to said questions, | return
herewith the questions and reply.
Replying to question No. ! referring
to the relation Of Christianity and So
cialism would say no, socialism does
not claim to be identical with Chris
tianity in general but manyof it's bright
est lights and ablest e%xpounders aver
that Christianity in part as well as
socialism in its entirety deals with
mans relations to his fellows. In this
particular IeldllOu Ol udH 10 man Inc
ethical or moral nature Of the two sys-
TENS if both are correct are logically
and necessarily the same.
In response to question No. 2, as to
Christ teaching socialism as a system
would say no. l am not aware he ever
taught the doctrine of a cooperative
commonwealth.
Referring to question No. 8 as to the
condition described in the Acts would
say no. This was not socialism in
any sense but a species of communism
transient in it's character and in no
sense and to NO degree connected with
the commonwealth nor Is it there
shown to be cooperative as to produc-
ton of wealth but only as to it's dis
tribution to all as they had need
and this following a voluntary sale of
houses and lands and a voluntary sur
render Of the price received into the
hands of the Apostles as a common
fund.
Socialism teaches the doctrine of CO.

wealth and distributing 1t in the sense

ency want. what they do want is a

ency want. What they do want is a
cutoff which will save one mile or
more, avoid that proposed high bridge
that the railroad will build over their
new line and those hills around the old
poor farm. Such a cutoff can be
built and at small expense by leaving
the present Agency road at a point
west of Agency near the center of the
southeast quarter of the ortheast quar-
ter of section "a and go in a north
westward direction to the railroad
near the center of the northeast quar-
ter of the northwest quarter of the
same section, then alongside of, or the
railroad, to or near the center of the
southeast quarter of the southeast
quarter of section % and then con-
meet with the Leinhauser-Dutton
hound Point road. BY looking on the
county map n can see what a big
saving such a change would be.
A Citizen.

of transporting it from place to place,
the individual always owning his W
wages and private effects and buying
what he may need on the market-with
such wages or part OF it as a purely
private transaction. While in the con-
dition described in the Acts the oppo-
site is true-the only cooperative part
beng in massing the general fund
while its distribution to private indl-
viduals was evidently an official func-
ton Of church officers-not as a mat
ter of sale but as a matter of necessity
and common supply.
In answer to question No. 4, it must
be clear to every thinking person that
socialism as a political fact in realiza-
ton in a commonwealth presumes
that the majority are socialists in or
der to such a realization being made
possible, hence the only test and quail
fication of true socialistic fealty of
the individual would be that of citf-
zenship and abstinence to the law I'M
der a socialistic commonwealth. Who
ever therefore as a citizen accepts So
cialism as a political system of thought
and government and exercises his
rights of franchise in the direction of
us luduSu ldtiOu 10 d LUX SOCldiloC-
regardless Of his profession of religion
or absence of any such profession.
Considering question No. 5-As to
Christ having taught or recognized
any certain system of economy or gov
eminent of an earthly sort-or "of
this world" | think not. He howev-
er did recognize the fact rather than
the form of both the Jewish and Ro-
man governments. AS evidenced in
his mandate to render to Caesar the
things that are Caesars" and in his
general recognition of and obedience
to the Jewish statutes. | do not under
stand, however, that the obedience
rendered or recognition given to the
political authority vested in either
government mentioned can properly be
construed to mean more than that he
was loyal to properly constituted au-
thority as then recognized and exer-
cised as a patriotic duty to render to
all their legal dues.
Question No. 6 is answered in the
answer to question No. 4.
In general the answer to the
inquiry as to the relations Of true
socialism to religious life, it may be
stated as a general proposition that
socialism tolerates all religions but
endorses no certain religion and has
to do strictly with governments of
this world. The Socialist party
is a political party and not a religious
or ecclesiastical body nor does it

make religion a test of membership
in the clubs or a list of true party
Ifealty. 1t is equally clear from Christ's
teaching and in his own chosen words
that the kingdom he came to establish
or herald was not IN earthly or politi-
cal kingdom as he fifty states in st.
John 1886 saying" My Kingdom is
not of this world. If my kingdom
were of this world then would my SER

ed to the Jews-but now is my king.
dom not from hence" He further said
of disciples Eye are not of
the world even as 1 am not
of the world" Again, 81 have
chosen you out of the world"
Personally I feel that Christianity
proper and the spotless bride of Christ
is so sacred and so pre-eminently
above every earthly kingdom and
every possible political condition of
state that to attempt to drag it down
to a general comparison level or par
allel with a mere political movement
or even as an earthly kingdom or
government is not only a ~travesty
upon her effulgent glory but a sacri-
lege to political ambition or an i'll
c~OnSluereu attempt at unconscious
sectism or otherwise a superstition.
True the church may properly come to
the aid of socialism and be gladly
welcomed in her aid in emphasizing
and enforcing the ethical phase of
socialism wherein it seeks the moral
elevation of the race at which point
only the two systems may join hands
without pollution to the church and
with great good to socialists as a
people and ultimately to the state.
Socialism in it's ethics as between
man and man is identical with Christ
ianity at the same point and e
may here with true SC
ian piety and genuine patriotism Jay
to the two systems, miss Christianity
shake hands with sovereign socialism"
adding with decided and forbidding
firmness yet with holy and patriotic
zeal, "Hither shall thou go and no
farther" With regards, / am,
Yours for patriotic and independent
socialism. N. A. Baker,
Chairman Socialist central COM
mittee, for Wapello county.

The republicans of this county
should bear in mind that they have as
good a county ticket as can be nomi-
mated. Every man is a representative
man of his community. Remember
that a candidate does not represent
himself; he represents the party that
dominates him. When you help elect
your opponent you simply throw your
vote and influence to place in power a
party whose principles you do not be,
Ilieve in. Your own party remains in
power only so long as you elect your
own candidates.

THE COMING MESSAGE OF
CONGRESS,

President Roosevelt and the late
President Mckinley were fully in ac-
cord on the great questions of the day
and especially on the matter of com
mercial expansion. Mr.. Mckinley
plainly indicated his thought in the
last public speech he made and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, then vice president,
made his policy clear at Minneapolis
when he said: eve must also remem-
Der in dealing with other nations that
benefits must be given where benefits
are sought" There is a volume of
political economy in this sentence.
Those who are anxious to forecast the
attitude of President Roosevelt and an
ticipate what he may say in his first
message to congress will find sufficient
inspiration in this utterance to enable
them to prophesy with accuracy if
they but take language at it's worth.

The story of the cure Of John Hun.
ter, of Chico, CAL, which appears in
another column, is believed to be the
strongest testimonial ever given any
medical preparation. Mr.. Hunter was
blind and helpless from paralysis,
and was restored to sight and health
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The &C.
count of the cure and the unusually
strong v~eriication of the facts are
well worth reading.
