INSTITUTE POSTPONED

Gathering Of Marshall County Farmers
Has Been Postponed Until Thurs
day on Account of the Snow Block
ade on tho Railroads and Country
Highways.
On account of the snow blockade on
the railroads, and the impossible coun-
try roads, the annual meeting OF the
Marshall County Farmers Institute,
which was to have begun this after
noon, has been postponed until Thurs
day. The opening meeting will be held
Thursday afternoon at /: 80 o'clock and
the institute will close some time Fri
day.
Very few could reach the city today,
either by rail or country roads, ana
the committee thought it best to set
the opening day for Thursday, when IL
is thought the roads will be passaole.
AS many of those who were on the
program for today as 1T was posslple
to reach were notified by telephone this
morning. Word was got to professor
Christy and Miss Writer at Ames. The
change. while it will seriously inter-
fere with the plans Of the commit
too was deemed the wisest thing to
do under the circumstances.
II has been decided to crowd the
work Of the three days Of the institute
into two days, and have two days OF
compact programs. 1t may be that
evening sessions will be held on potn
days, altho that has not been decided
definitely. At any rate an evening ses-
sion will be held on Thursday.

track enchantment- ten dollars in order to win

ting habit has grown to enormous proportions In

Grated from it's former lofty ideal Men and women,
boys and girls all now find opportunities to bet on
the ponies. Misery and crimnality follow in its
wake; and thousands are ruined sent to prison on
account Of this general betting mania which has got
ten abroad.
The betting habit arouses many of the coarser
instincts in ones nature It is, nowadays too close
ly allied with fraud and cunning to stimulate high
ideals in outdoor sport. It brings shame and re-
morse, not JOY and happiness 1t poverty and
want not riches and plenty. 1t contributes to and
encourages dishonesty and crime, and does not pro-
mote honesty and good citizenship.
The fight against track gambling has got
beyond the sporadic stage. New York, st. Louis
and Chicago not the only cities in which the
fight is being waged for cleanliness and honesty All
along the line the movement is gaining impetus.
Wholesale gambling must go. Like the lawless-
ness which prevailed in the frontier towns, it
must move on. Yesterday the representatives of
large business concerns looked complacently upon
the young sprigs of gentity who lost large at
betting. Today these young sprigs are subjects of
suspicion

Is 1t Worth While j?

WHEN man faces difficult problem or crisis
in his his courage is then at it's lowest ebb
At these moments one can be forgiven for petuant-
ly remarking, ''Oh what's the use!" or "Is it worth
while?" But what excuse is there for the who
shirks responsibility fails to make the most of his
opportunities? Can he offer logical reason for
doing so? Opportunities to improve ones knowledge
to better ones condition, and to make the most Of
each hour, are plentiful The young man who wish
to advance will find willing hands to assist
him. But it remains for him to take the initiative
It requires patience and toll to be great. The man
who says us it worth while?" or "What is the use?
at this stage, is making of the gravest Of
his life. If he decides to loaf instead of accumua-
ting useful knowledge that will enrich his future
career he will become drudge. He will be another
grindstone in the path of the worlds progress
Is it worth while? Supposing Demosthenes had
despairngly given up all hope of becoming an orator
when he found out his stammering interfered with
his cherished ambition Instead of saying "What
is the use?' he manfully set about to remedy the
fault He made daily trips to the seashore, filled his
mouth full of pebbles and began Grafton with the
pillows for audience. He conquered. Later on
he held martial Rome spellbound by his marvellous
eloquence. If Plutarch had said "What is the use?
when he writing his biographies, our knowledge
OF ancient times especially the names OF those who
accomplished great Deeds would not be complete
If Leonidas and his brave soldiers had asked them
selves, els it worth whle? the thrilling story of
Thermopyle would not have been written If the
Apostle Paul had repeated the same question to him
self before becoming disciple of the cross, and had
turned back, Christianity would have suffered great
ly in it's darkest hour.
Is it worth while to strive to be better mentally
and morally? think the history of today and yes
terday proves that it is worth while

The Voice of Liberty.

The scenes now being enacted in benighted
Russia have stirred the civilized world to its pro-
foundest depths. Riot and bloodshed are rampant,
and it is very likely that the blacklist pages in the
history of France will be duplicated on the boue-
wards of St. Petersburg And for what? It is the
old story. The principles at stake. The
demands for reform the which deposed
other despotc rulers down through the ages
What denied by petition and pleading, ruth
lessly seized by force. In all probability the ad-
visers of the car will not be convinced of the
necessity of granting reforms until the revolutionary
spirit has mastered the situation
History is replete with just such momentous is
sues which now confront that mismanaged empire
On the one side are few individuals who still insist
on the divine right of rulers. On the other side are
the people who demand voice in regulating the
laws by which they are governed Liberty is what
they demand It is the polar star which they
never cease to look expectantly. For liberty peo
pie will illuminate the streets with their life blood
Liberty is thoroughly enshrined in the human
heart that the harshes prosecutions the thunder
ing volleys of Cossacks cannot eradicate it, The
voice of liberty has been heard nsistently through
out the ages At times this voice was raised in be-
half of the state Again it shook the thrones Of
Europe in behalf of the rights of individuals Proud
fear; and, what oppression and tyranny
made room for universal liberty.
In Russia the voice Of liberty has at times been
exceedingly timorous. Again it has raised it's voice
in sibilant accents which demanded immediate at
tenton. The car ukased the soldiers volleyed; the
cruel Cossacks charged, sashed and impaed, the
police arrested and exiled hundreds of thousands
and still the patriots march boldly up to the lannon's
mouth carrying the banner Of liberty. Every great
movement towards lettering the human race has
only succeeded at the cost of thousands of human
lives Before liberty is granted in Russia this
sacrifice must be offered. Before the powerful few
will listen to and the exigencies of the age
the helpless orty must first destroy before build
ing While liberty is worth almost any price,
it is pity that the price is which will stagger
humanity.
Before it is too late the car should reflect on
what happened to Charles I. and Louis XVI before
turning tn ear to the voice which is praying for
liberty
