THE SOUTH AND RURAL DELIv.
ERY

The act of a mob of white men in
terrorizing negro rural route carriers
in Tennessee is liable to bring serious
results to the men who committed the
outrage and cause the suspension of
free delivery in every section where
deeds of the kind are perpetrated In
this particular case five men took the
civil service examination, three of
whom were colored The colored men
passed the best examinations and one
was chosen to carry the route After
doing so short time he resigned and
another colored man took his place.
The latter also resigned without CIV
ing a reason for doing so. The depart
ment instituted an investigation and
found the facts to be as noted above.
1t was found that both men were warn
ed to give up the situations and say
nothing about it to the government.
The postoffice department proposes
to make thorough investigation of
these and other cases, and make it
clear to the south that such outrages
must cease or rural free delivery will
cease in that section. This is the right
way to serve those people and is the
only way they can be reached. Let
the lesson be serious one Under
the constitution the department can
not discriminate against a man be-
cause of his color if he passes a good
civil service examination, but the de-
Ipartment has it in it's power to dis
continue routes where negro carriers
are not permitted to perform their du-
tiles.

LAWS AGAINST pRuNkARDs.

OF late years there has been a ten
dency all over the world to legislate
against habitual drunkenness. When
Iowa passed the law making inebriates
subject to arrest and confinement, the
cry went up that their rights were arbi-
trarily trampled upon. OF course it
was expected that drunkards would OBJ.
ject, but just the same the law is a
good one and is doing grand work
1t is in line with modern thought and
necessity.
In many countries in Europe there
are stringent laws against drunken,
ness. england has law similar to
what we have in Iowa. When a man
there becomes a slave to drink he is
arrested and shut up until a cure is
effected. France and Belgium attack
liquor itself by holding the manufac.
'turer and his dispenser responsible for
bad cases of inebriacy. Holland Switz-

MONEY is NOT ALL.

Rev. w. S. Rainsford of New York
says: The fool in his fallacy says that
nothing goes but money. 1t is a lie.
Even here In New York, which is the
great sieve of the country, sitting out
the wealthiest from the smaller cities
money plays very small figure in the
building up of true friendship. Fur
thermore money does not make the
best citizen. Money will purchase
many things but it will not buy those
things that are most dear and most
valuable. Friendship cannot be bought
with money. The longer l see friend
ship whose basis is large sums of
money, the longer despise it because
/ know it is sham. 1t is another
method of patronizing vanity. When
we put up monument we do not put
1t up in memory of rich man. There
is not monument in this city put up
in memory of a rich man. Talk of
money to Nathan Hale, to Abraham
Lincoln or Admiral Farragut, and they
would not listen to you.

TURNING DOWN THE WINE CUP

Washington Post.-A San Francisco
telegram printed in the Sunday Post,
makes the remarkable statement that
the grand commandery of the knights
Templars of California has decided by
unanimous vote that hereafter no
wine shall be served at the Templar
banquets. The innovation has been in
troduced, it is claimed, so that the or
der on the coast might fall in line with
the general movement of the same
kind in the east. and because the use
OF wine in the lodge rooms for all the
functions is contrary to the principles
OF Masonry. The dispatch states fur
Their that it is understood that the Cali
fornia grand lodge of Masons, at it's
annual meeting next October will take
the same decisive action and order that
all banquets given under the auspices
OF any Masonic lodge OF the state be
strictly temperate.
This will surprise the general read
er, though it may not have that effect
upon Knights Templars or Masons in
general. Or all the products OF Cali
fornla, there is none OF which her peo-
pie are prouder than the many and
varied wines which her glorious CHM
ate and fertile soil bring forth.
Whether one receives them from the
producers under California label, or
imports them from France or SPAIN
their excellence is admiringly conced-
ed. Millions have been expended in
the local development of CALIFORNIA;
wine industry, and other millions in
advertising it. Are the knights Temp
lars OF the coast, those splendid men
whose visit to this city few years ago
was the most attractive feature Of
great occasion-are they in a conspir-
acy against that industry? Has it
ceased to be possible out there to con-
sumo wine at banquet in strictly
temperate" way? We hope not. If it
be fact as that dispatch implies, that
the great fraternity of Freemasons
throughout the country is engaged in
a radical temperance reform move
ment, the fact is significant that that
brotherhood possesses great power as
social factor.

ADVERTISING FOR DEPOSITS,

The banks of Fort Dodge are adver.
Using for deposits, principally from
laboring people and farmers. The
idea is a good one and will tend to
create a desire for saving. 1t is also
good for those who have to borrow
money at times in their business, as it
gives the banks the capital to use. In
every way it is all right.
In Keolluk, according to the Gate
City, bank in that city has supplied
employers of labor with pay envelopes
on which is printed the following:
Why Not Save Part of This Weeks
Earnings?
The State Central Savings Bank will
issue savings book upon the deposit
OF one dollar or more, and pay you 8
per cent interest per annum. Money
can be withdrawn at any time.
A deposit of ST a week for tweney
years will amount to $1,417.22, which
means $1,040 deposited and S377.22 in
terest earned. Why not have your
money work for you?
Bank open Monday and Saturday ev-
enings from to s o'clock.
The offer of the Keokuk bank should
cause wage earners in that city to do
some hard thinking. The subject is
all figured out what deposit of 81 a
week will do in twenty years. There
are few young men who are working
for wages who cannot spare that
amount each week cut of their earn
ings, in fact men with families can
make that saving.
What the Keokuk bank offers will
be duplicated by Iowa banks every
where no doubt, and the banks would
be glad to accept such deposits.

erland and even Russia have laws max.
ing inebriacy crime which subjects
the unfortunate victim to arrest and
imprisonment.
While a man continually drunk is
an injury to himself he is more dan.
gerous to the community, and a strin.
gent law is necessary to remove the
danger. Men who let their appetites
lead them into inebriacy cannot expect
freedom. A law that checks them in
their mad career is all right. Of
course men who drink are to be pitied
rather than abused, and what the law
does for them is for their own good.
