POVERTY TO AFFLuENCE.



Week before last Charles Banks, OF
Morton township, went to Chicago over
the Burlington route, with five cars of
cattle And only short time before he
went over the same road with about
the same number of cattle for that
market. And in a few days he will go
to Chicago again with several cars of
fat hogs. Mr.. Banks is one of the most
prosperous farmers in Morton town

that neighborhood, and about the same
amount in northwestern Missours. He
came from the old country to Burling-

pocket He offered his services to the
railroad company that was then build
ing a road out of Burlington; but after
sizing him up the boss" thought he
would not suit and hence did not en-
ploy him. He then hired out on farm
near Burlington, where he worked for
awhile. Then he went over to war

residence OF Lenord Johnson on the
east side Of town and proceeded to
diyest himself OF his bat, coat, vest
and shoes. After this he haid down
on the floor and went TO sleep. The

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

The opening address of the campaign
has been made by the head of the DEM
ocratic ticket and it gives every evil
dence of clean, dtgnified discussion to
follow. but in the light of the fact that
it is state officers we are called upon to
elect this fall 1t is difficult to find an
issue upon which to differ in our dis
cussion. Turnout his address the demo-
Governor Cummins as "our worthy
governor and not a word of censure or
complaint is uttered against either the
personal character or official acts of
Mr.. Cumn1ins or any other candidate
on the republican, ticket. 1t has been
long time since campaign has been
waged in this state in which the demo-
Gratis did not make some effort to find
fault with the republican officials add
ministering state affairs. That such
should be the casss coincident with the
advent of reasonably sensible gentle
man at the head of a democratic ticket
not only speaks volumes for the return
OF reason to the democratic party, but
must be taken as a word of praise from
unwilling witnesses for the high char
acter of the Cummins administration.
Such endorsement is only deserving
too. Thru all the. bitter factionalism
that has ragged within the republican
rarty, so bitter that newspapers in
Cedar Rapids ana Dies Moines have
done everything but ol'enay bolt the
ticket, not charge of wrong doing or
even whisper of criticism has been
made by factionalists against the Cum
MINIS administration. There was a
time when the public generally be-
Eeved a republican governor and two
other members of the executive coun-
eli to be too greatly influenced by a

THE IMMATURE PREACHER
ICedar Rapids Republican,

to preach 1t Is called a wonderful
achievement, But VII some one tell
an Intelligent public what a 11-year-
old boy can tell the average man about
the soul and the hereafter and the
great doubts and pre- blems that grow
out of these questions? A man does
MT really begin to feel the force of
these questions until he is at least as
old as Hamlet was, ABOUT 80. The eff
fusions of a boy Of II will amount to
nothing in the Judgment of a man who
has thought on these subjects and felt
the force of them in his own life. A boy
of II may be eloquent and all that but
he can have thought out little or moth
ing original to say. If. indeed, there is
ANYTHING original left to say upon such
questions.
Even the preacher of matured years
often misses the mark because the men
in the pews feel that he has approach :
ed the subject from another point.
His life. it may be. has been wholly
devoted to the study of the Bible and
the meditations of religion. The ex-
periences of most men are different
from the experiences of the divinity
student and so the preacher misses the
important part when 1t comes to min
istering to souls of men of the world.
Old men may marvel when they see
a boy of II delivering oracles and para
boxes from the gospels and talking
glibly about life that zones after death
