Our city contemporary, The Pro-
gressive Farmer, made it's appear
ance this week in a sixteen-page
form, change from the SPACE form
heretofore used. 1t is a decided i'm
provement in all respects. Typo
graphically it is as handsome as it
can be, it's general makeup admira-
bic, while Mr.. @. II. Poe, it's editor,
fills each of it's many departments
with matter, original and selected,
beftting a paper of the high stand
ard that gentleman has established.
The Progressive Farmer, under Mr..
Poe's management, has established
itself in the confidence and respect
of the public, and we are glad it is
constantly growing in popularity and
patronage.-Raleigh Post, September

Review Lesson-September 2S, 1902
Read Deuteronomy 8:1-2O.

ber the Lord thy God. Deut. 8:18.
1. The Giving of Manna.-The
great teaching of this lesson is that
God makes constant and appropriate
provision for the daily needs of all
his children.
,. The Ten Commandments.-Du-
ties to God.-The first four COM
mandments forbid idolatry, image
worship, profanity and Sabbath
breaking. Our Master himself has
summed up these commandments in
the words: "ThOu shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind"
3. The Ten Commandments.-Du-
ties to Men.-The last six command
ments of the Decalogue enforce the
duty of honoring parents, of respect
ing human life, of maintaining per-
sonal purity, of observing honesty,
of cultivating truthfulness and of
avoiding covetousness. Our Master
has likewise summed up these COM
mandments in the words: "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
4. Worshipping the Golden Calf
The awful sin of idolatry is the sa-
lient point of this lesson. We need
to beware of the insidious forms in
which idolatry is found at the pres
ent day. The worship of fashion, of
gold or of pleasure may be as sinful
in JUS as the worship of the golden
calf was IN the Israelites.
5. The Tabernacle-The central
thought of this lesson is the thought
of worship. The tabernacle was the
visible embodiment of the idea of
worship. 1t was a divine object les
son for the people of Israel, and all
its contents and appointments were
designed to impress upon their
minds some vital truth.
6. Nadab and Abihu.-The great
principle of temperance received
strong emphasis in this lesson which
told us of the destroying fire which
consumed the sons of Aaron who pol
luted the worship of God by their in
diligence in strong drink.
I. JOurneying toward Canaan
The central thought suggested by
this lesson was that of the journey
of life. Divine guidance was vouch-
safed to the children of Israel in the
pillar of cloud by day and the pillar
of fire by night. Divine guidance
will also be vouchsafed to us, if we
allow ourselves to be led by God.
s. Report of the Spies.-The
grand thought brought out in this
lesson is that of courage in duty. The
ten spies who rendered a faint-heart-
ed report saw just what Caleb and
Joshua had seen in their expedition
into the Promised Land. But Caleb
and Joshua counted God as an ally,
when they made their brave and in
spring appeal to the people to go
forward, and their report won for
them an entrance into the Promised

STAND BY PARADES.
Lincoln Post Doesn't Want q. A. q
Marches Abandoned.

At a recent meeting of Lincoln post
the following resolutions were passed
condemning the plan to do away with
the annual parades of the National En-
campment Of the G. A. R.:
whereas, 1t is currently reported
that an effort will be made at the next
national encamDment of the G.. A. X.
to be held in the city of Washington
parades of the old veterans usually held
on those occasions; therefore be it
Resolved, That Lincoln post earnestly
protests against the adoption of any
such measures which could only result
in destroying the great interest now ta-
ken by the old veterans In those nation
al reunions and thus sound the death
knell of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public
Resolved. That we believe that the
annual parades of the G. A. r. at their
national encampments should be main
| tanned as long as the old soldiers ex-
| press Willingness and desire to par
ticipate In those exercises and as long
as a remnant of the old guard can be
mustered to constitute the parade,-that
| 1t will be sufficient time to discuss the
propriety OF disseminating these parades
when there are none left OF the old
army able to march and then convey
| Ances should be provided for the last
| of those heroic men who saved the un-
ion that they might be taken in review
before the assembled multitudes of our
American citizenship. that the greatest
object lesson of unselAsh patriotism
ever witnessed might not fade away.
| Resolved, That we view with alarm
any attempt to abridge or annul any
of the features of the national encamp-
ments of SO much interest and enjoy
ment to the surviving comrades of the
civil war.
Resolved, That the national reunions
! as they have been held in the past are
of the greatest pleasure and delight to
the old soldiers, and as none march in
the parades lit being purely voluntary
except those who are able, willing and
DESTROYS of doing so, we therefore earn
est1y request that no action be taken to
discontinue the parades.
Resolved, That copies of these reso-
| lutions be furnished the city press, the
department headquarters, and every
delegate from the department of KAN
sas to the national encampment'

was presented at a regular meeting OF

Corners in grain are made possible by
q scarcity of cash grain, due to drought,
large shipments broad, inability to
move grain held by farmers, simulta-
neous big purchases on the part of q
number of large buyers, and numerous
other agencies. The most successful
corner is usually the one that is most
natural; that is, the least enforced. For
this reason the big wheat corner of 'Sl
(run by the same syndicate that failed
SO signal1y in '87) is regarded as the
most successful corner in the history

handled and the actual profits resulting
from it's termination. With 3,0,000,0 600
bushels of wheat in hand this syndicate

price of wheat actually advanced ten
cents beyond this fgure.-Pilgrim.

committee on military affairs, during the course OF
his examination before It. that, II the bill passed he
would resign HIS commission.
AS to the rebuke that was administered to General
Miles concerning the Schey case will be recalled
that he did critcise the court of Inquiry but sim
ply expressed his confidence In Admiral Schley's
honor, a confidence which is heartily shared by the
American people The president had right to rep
rmand him without court martial either under the
constitution OF the United States the rules OF the
war department When the consideration of the fact
is added that General Miles the superior officer OF
the president in the Spanish war being the lieutenant
general OF the army when Theodore Roosevelt was
only a colonel of volunteers, somewhat refractory
colonel of volunteers with little regard to discipline
the regulations as the famous round robin showed
the Improperly Of the illegal reprimand is seen to
have been the greater. And then written reprmand
from the secretary of and verbal reprmand
from the president in violent language in the presence
of others was the addition of insult to injury.
Why was not General Miles allowed to go to the
Philippines and given chance to end the he
proposed? The American people not but believe
that personal spite was at work here again. Can 1t
be that as the American people have always patriotic
ally voted to sustain in power party that is conduct
ing war the administration is purposely continuing
the war to make campaign capital? Was that adj
ditiona reason for pgeon-hoing General Miles app
cation?
When the American people settle accounts with the
republican party at the next election they not apt
to forget the malice displayed toward General Miles.
