in question, the most would be accom-
plished by the minister. In his sermon
he offers the spirit that they need,
while the author in his book tends to
turn their hand against every man.
Uplifting does not come by telling peo-
pie how miserable they are. OF course
1t may be said that the Lithuanians
are not the ones who read the books
of the Sinclair kind. But the employees
a strata higher in the same concern
and in other large institutions read
them and 1t is with Ill effect, for the
reason set forth by DR.. Hopkins, that
it Is not based upon fact, but fiction,
which they are made to assume is fact.
The minister offers practical sug-
gestion to the author as follows:
cit is reported that Mr.. Sinclair has
made 100000 on this book and-has re-
tired to New Jersey, state especially
kind to trusts, to enjoy 1T. We have
not heard that piece of this money
found Its way back to the stockyards
to buy clean Ice or pay for medical as
sistance for girls whose health breaks
down while painting cans, or to help
lift the mortgage on Jurgis' house,
which cost him $1,5OO and on which,
according to Mr. Sinclair, the interest
at per cent per annum is 81 a month. .

an anarchist, for they probably know
what an anarchist is. 1t would un.
doubtedly have served Carries purpose
just as we'll If size had called the may.
or "spupendile," for she would pro-
badly be UP against it for definition
in either case.
Both sides of the question as to
whether mayor should deliver an ad-
dress of welcome to liquor dealers will
ind numerous advocates. The mayor
himself may exercise his personal
llkes and dislikes, or he may consider
that he is representative of the
whole people of his city. In the latter
case, he would undoubtedly deliver the
address with a clear conscience.
Galesburg is city that has saloons
The majority Of the people want sa.
looms or the city would not have them
The laws Of Illinois recognize the Ii,
quor dealer not as an outlaw, but as a
business man. The liquor dealer is
governed by the same law that the
mayor is. The Office and the business
are mentioned in the same clauses of
the same statutes. They are linked to.
gether by reason of the fact that the
mayor has in his hands the governing
of the business Of the liquor dealers.
The latter must respect the office and
the orders of the former.
The mayor CT Galesburg may or may
not be man who as private citizen
would respond to request of deliver
ing an address. of welcome to such a
body of men. In his capacity as mayor
he is monopolist. There is no other
man who can officially represent the
city as its executive. There is bare
possibility tina. he was not elected by
the people who requested him not to
deliver the address in question, but
by the class who demand that there
shall be no discrimination in the well
coming of business men to Galeshurg.
He is not acting as an individual, but
as representative of all of the peo-
pie all of the time.
Where there is prohibition statute
on the books there is reason why a
mayor should not personally or Off
cially welcome delegates to liquor
dealers convention. That would be
taking official cognizance of an organi-
zed body of men who were engaged in
a traffic that had no standing under
the law, which he is sworn to enforce.
1t would be no more in good taste than
it would be in Iowa to deliver an adj
dress Of welcome to an aggregation of
gamblers The man who accepts an
official position can not always exer-
else his personal likes and dislikes in
the discharge of his duties.

and yet am credibly advised that any
express company would gladly contract
TO render the same service at very
substantial reduction from what 1t now
costs. provided the government would
continue to build postofiices in all the
large cities and in many Of the small
towns and charge the cost thereof and
the expense of maintenance to other
and independent appropriations as It
does at present.
But 1T is one thing to have govern
ment servants handle the money at
subtreasur1es and pay 1T out as public
administration requires, and quite
different thing for the government to
operate banks, receive deposits, buy
and sell exchange, and loan money on
interest. The government does inspect
and exercise jurisdiction over such
banks as elect to operate under federal
charters. | would be glad to have the
right and privilege extended for saw
ings banks, trust companies, insurance
companies and trunk lines Of railroads
and perhaps other enterprises, to in

thereby inviting and submitting to fed
eral supervision. The government
likewise supervises the business Of all
common carriers that elect to cDsH

state commerce. It not only proposes
to fix and determine all freight rates
when the road and the public cannot
! agree, but also to so supervise the On.
Grafton Of these roads as to prevent re-
bates and determinations of every
kind and abuses of every character
whether they affect individuals or com.
munities.
Not Every Avenue Closed.
Not every avenue of evil in this life
can be closed by legislation. Israel
suffered seriously for having worship
ed golden calf while Moses was re.
ceiving divine commandments. do
not know that we are in danger Of
making statute laws the object of our
idolatry or of substituting penal codes
for the plain teaching Of morality, but
| do know that in spite of legislation
and in the face of penal codes abuses
arise and crimes are committed They
are discovered sometimes even in the
mail service and sometimes In the
management Of banks Postmasters
occasionally default, mail carriers now
and then commit larceny, and some
bank officials prove inefficient and 9TH
ers dishonest. This will always be SO.
So long as private business and public
affairs remain In the hands of men
possessed of human propensities and
weaknesses and subject to human
lfrailities, sin and wickedness will mani.
fest themselves. Meanwhile let us
maintain a representative form of gov.
eminent, encourages individualism,
keep the way open for men to embark
in any and every legitimate business,
sanely and consewatively improve the
laws we have, strengthening them

Of the government to safeguard the in

who is former Iowan now preaching
In Chicago church, is not careful he
will have to face the charge of being
a corporation hireling," "tool' of
the railroads and the packers In his
sermon week ago he told what he
thought of Bryan's proposition of gov
eminent ownership OF railroads, and it
was not favorable to Bryan, while last
Sunday he took up Upton Sinclair's
stockyards novel, ''The Jungle"
In the discussion of this book the d.
vine calls the author can unpatriotic
pessimist," and from standpoint of
fact and not fiction it would appear
that the minister had the better of the
argument. He classes the novel as a
distorted and misleading picture of the
social conditions among the Lithuan-
lans who work in the yards. However,
the author is enabled to hide behind
the statement that his book is a
STORY" and not a history.
Draw a picture in your minds" the
minister said, .of poor Lithuanian
family back of the stockyards giving a
wedding feast that cost $500 without
asking any questions. Then think of
a space two blocks square in the
dumps dug out Of clay to make brick,
and filled with filthy water which in
winter produced an ice crop gathered
and sold by an ice company to the very
people who knew where it came from.
Try to figure, also, how, according to
Mr.. Sinclalr's arithmetic, man can
earn 171s cents an hour for ten hours
and only make $1.45 a day.
One trouble with such book is that
1t Is written by a young man who, in
the nature Of things, has not had any
great experience in business or any
thing else. 1t is book written from
the viewpoint of an unpatriotic pessi-
mist.
"He is no Victor Hugo showing how
even a Vatican can work out his saliva

slums to find little Emily or David
Copperheld. Poor girls in The Jungle
get dirty and undeserved slap when
they are represented as holding virtue
cheap. Poor men in this book are
mostly sots or buns and haters of all
mankind. And through 1t all the great
city Of Chicago is never seen opening
its small parks, it's day schools and
night schools, Its settlements, libraries
and museums every year nearer the
door Of the needy. And over 1t all
never for moment flashes beacon
light from what this author would call

DR.. Hopkins says that the other
trouble with the book is that it will

A part of Aberdeen that is not claim

growing is South Aberdeen.
The Improvements and additions being
made to the factories on that side. means
the employment of more men with fami-
lies, and that means more homes. The
additions to the Michigan mill has COM
PEELED the hotel keepers to enlarge their
buildings and several new cottages are
being erected in that vicinity. In and
around the Aberdeen Lumber Il Shngle
Mill Co. S plant, more new homes are
being erected and now that the Union
mill is to be enlarged a number of work
men are securing property near the mill
on which to build homes.
The Chehalis toll bridge and the cleo

part OF Aberdeen into prominence and
