Iron River Pioneer: Assembly
man Morris finished up his work at
Madison and returned home last
Tuesday morning. Mr. Morris has
made an enviable record during this
session of the legislature, and al
though this is but his first term, his
influence among the members of the
lower house was felt on more than
one occasion. Mr.. Morris says
that the session dragged along much
longer than he hoped to have it and
that now he must settle down to
business and endeayor TO make up
the shortage in his bank roll. A
man having to dig down in his own
pocket to serve the dear people is
not as it should be. Members of
the legislature should receive more
pay for their service.

Albert Aune to Go tn Madison

Albert Aune will leave for Madi-
son this week, accompanied by his
teacher, Miss Marilla ZelIhoefer. for
the purpose of participating in the
state declamatory contests. There
are seven contestants. Miss Nellie
Ferguson, OF Ashland, won thesfrst
place in the final contest in declam-
atoms and was entitled to 90 to Mad
ison, but was unable to give the
matter her time as she%shopes to
graduate froms the Ashland High
School this year and had to sgive
that up or surrender Fher place in
the contest. Mr.. Aune therefore
took her place. 1t, developss that
this district was the only one in the
state to finish the contests in oratory
which leaves Master Phillip She ri
dan of this cit the winner in the
state contests inasmuch as there are
none TO compete with him.

chairman of the House judiciary
committee by Speaker Cannon of
the Fifty-eight Congress. A long
press dispatch from Washington

Clay county has struck a new plan
fixing the tax dodger A grand jury
was recently called in that county
and as part of its work it indicted
n man named Belleringer for perjury.
Belleringer gave in a portion of his
property to the assessor but signed
the usual affidavit on the statement.
1t is up to the courts now to decide
whether this constitutes perjury. Ii
they hold it does there will be a

The scrapping republicans in this
state have at last found a topic on
which they are agreed to join forces.
They understand fully that if the fight
within their ranks continues and the
democrats of this state nominate Har-
ris for governor he will be elected to
a certainty. Knowing that to restore
harmony to their ranks is an almost
hopeless proposition with the limited
amount of pie at their disposal they
have joined hands to promote the
selection of Harris for some impor-
tant federal position as the only
means OF getting him out of their
way. Failing to land him for canal
commissioner they may direct their
efforts towards the civil service com
mission. Any port in a storm is their
motto.

We feel somewhat tempted to doubG
the boosted civilization of the twenti-
eth century when we read in the pa
pers of the day that a woman travel
ing with four little children on Il
train in Minnesota recently died of
starvation. Extreme poverty is of
every day occurrence in all parts of
this great country and every COM
munity is making an effort to shift
the burden of supporting its paupers
to some other community, and where
ever it is possible they are given a
ticket to the next county seat by the
"humane'' officers and started ON
their travels. Once started the way
is easy. for they are simply kept go
ing until they fall by the wayside
when they ARE consigned TO a box

Nothing has demonstrated the va.
|cillating character of Governor
Bailey in so striking manner as
his delay and hesitation in making
an appointment TO fill the vacancy on
the supreme bench caused by the pro-
motion of Pollock. The fact is he
hoped that some heavyweight politi-
cian would demand the appointment
OF some friend so that he might shift
the responsibility, and now that he
has discovered that the other fellow )
have checked it up to him he is fright
ened at his own shadow. 1t is a case
of ''be damned il you do and be
damned il you don't" and be knows it.
The other fellows who might divide
the responsibility with him are sta.d-
ing back and laughing in their
sleeves as they see the governor
struggling TO avoid the pit they have
dug for him, we'll knowing that he
has not the backbone to challenge
the admiration of the state by step
ping up in manly way and doing
that which his own judgment tells him
is the right thing to do.

Reception to Miss Jacobs.

A reception was given to Miss Ja-
cobs, The district deaconess, by the
ladies OF the W. III. NJ. S. last Friday
afternoon at the Methodist parsonage.
Quite member of ladies called and
the afternoon was spent in asking
questions, and heart to heart talk
with Miss Jacobs. She told US OF the
work being done at Fisk training
school-how young girls sacrificed
home, friends, social position and
all that they held dear, to lead con-
secrated lives for the Master. She
spoke of the home at York, Nebras-
ka, which is home for orphan
childreu, how little unwelcOme babes
were brought to this home to hide the
shame of the unfortunate family, and
how God opened the mother love in
the heart of the young deaconess;
how she would take the little darlings
to her heart and into her own bed,
watching over them day and night as
only a mother can, and praying COD
continually to let her keep the baby
if it was His will. As we listened to
her every heart WAS touched. She
also told US of the personal work in
the slums and her work in the aiding
the minister. Personal dealing is of
the most vital importance. No one
can tell how many souls have been
lost through lack of following up the
preaching of the gospel by personal
work. 1t is for this work that the
deaconess is trained. We are thank
full to have had Miss Jacobs with us
for the past few weeks. 1t has given
US better idea of what our work as
home missionary women is, and al
though we may not he able to do a
great work we can do the little things
that the Mas;er makes plain to us.
We invite every woman in Kinsley to
come out to our meetings and help
us; we need your help.

Secretary w. II. Nj. ).

The Parcels Post System and the
Express Companies.

Those who desire parcels post
are pleased to see that this innova-
ton is being advocated more by the
press of both parties. although the
democratic papers are more 10 favor
of it than are the republican. After
the subject is much discussed and the
public realizes the benefits of such a
system the determined opposition of
the express companies will be over
come. The greatest ally of the COM
panies in their fight against a parcels
post is Senator Plat, republican
from New York, who is president of
the United States Express Company.
The practicability Of a parcels post
is demonstrated by the fact of it's ex-
istence in Germany, England and
other countries Of Europe for many
years The case of Germany is the
most instructive. Here any package
weighing not more than fifty kilOs
more than 100 pounds can be sent
by post. to any part OF the empire.
The cost of transportation is far less
than ordinary express charges in this
country. The goods are transported
and delivered more quickly. In even
the smaller cities IL post wagon. goes
around each day to collect the pack
ages without extra charge. AS the
post offices are better distributed than
the express offices, the sending of
packages by post is more convenient.
In Germany is it possible TO order
goods from the city and have the
money for them as we'll as the trans
portation charges collected by the
postman on delivery.
Those who live in the country are
especially benefited by the parcels
post. Many Industries can exist in
the country merely because the par
cells post enables them to send their
goods to the cities promptly and at
slight cost. Eggs, butter and poultry
are some of the objects which are sent
to the German cities in this manner.
In return the country people can or
der anything they desire from the
city. In fact the parcels post ia
Germany is the cause of an extensive
internal trade between small indus
tries all over the empire.
Those in this country, who for self.
ish reasons oppose parcels post.
argue that it would cost the govern
ment a great deal and also that the
post Office should not enter the do
main of private enterprise. AS foi
the cost, the money which now sup
ports the countless number of express
companies comes from the public, and
there is no doubt that the post Office
could give u cheaper as well as better
service AS for the second objection,
when public welfase conflicts with
private interest the latter always has
and always will have, Ia give way
