 His text was
 Be ye therefore perfect as your Father in heaven Is perfect" Mat. 5:4S.
 If there is any one danger greater than any other to which we are exposed at this time it Is the danger of too great an interest to material things. This is perfectly natural The material is so real, it is so close to most of us what shall we eat and what shall we drink and where-with-al shall we be clothed is tremendously insistent. So much is this true that we have very little time for other things.
 That which makes these things possible to us is money and we think that if we only had money we would have no need to worry about anything further But after all is this true. Must we not have something more than that. Is not life more than a question of food and drink. There will come times in all of our lives when we must think, and we will be ut terly dissatisfied with ourselves if we reflect that all that is left of us is the animal side of us. whose entire nature can be satisfied with sufficient food and a place to sleep.
 Necessary to Have Ideals.
 Inasmuch as these things are true, it Is necessary for us to have ideals in life They take us out of ourselves, they en- able us to live in a better atmosphere and they give inspiration to the highest life that we can attain to. All great men have been at some time in their lives not only dominated by an ideal but they have really been dreamers of dreams
 If we go back to early history we find a man in Ur of the Chaldees whose father, so tradition tells us. was nn idolator, possibly a maker of idols Now this man has what he calls a revelation from a living God. He dreams a great dream of the future, he sees himself as the founder of a new nation.
 It must have seemed very foolish to the people around him because he was then an old man, married to an old wo- man and they had no children, and how could he expect to be the founder of a nation. When he started out and they asked him where he was going he had to confess that he was going to a land that he knew not of. Could anything have been more foolish from a matter of fact, material point of view than the dream of this man, and yet he kept before his mind his ideal, and dreamed his dream, and after while it did come true, and through the children of Abra- ham the whole world is being blessed

AFTER THE ASSESSORS.

sISel)oIleI.J
The supervisors of Dubuque county
have prescrih ed the task of the asses
sors in days and hours, and will not
allow compensation for service over
the limit set Eight hours is made
days work, and the range runs from
nine to twenty-five days in the rural
townships In the towns of the coun-
ty the time permitted is from fifteen
to sixty-five days. and $500 per diem
is the scale of wages. In Dubuque city
the work must be done in 1,5O0 days of
eight hours a total of 10000 hours and
a compensation to the workers Of 3d.
900. This work was done in Waterloo
according to the last report for $1,499,
which indicates that the service here
was rendered for a figure reasonably
close to a rate which the Dubuque SUI
pervisors consider quite saving to
the county over what has been paid
previously At Cedar Falls the asses
sor and his deputy drew S47S.S5 for
the service, which would average at
about the same compensation paid to
the Waterloo workers.
The work of making an assessment
is an under taking few men are quail
fled for, and which comparatively few
are willing to set themselves at. Tt is
n public service, to be sure, but it is
one quite different in degree from the
ordinary occupation. Like any duty
in private capacity the man who does
it should be worthy of his hire. If
one is especially valuable in the SER
vice he performs he is certainly worth
more to the people that the one who
hustles to no purpose but to finish the
job and earn his allowance at the least
expense of energy. An assessment is

George d. Perkins should be put on

about man who was a leader in the
republican party in Iowa when the
publishers of the Journal were pad

think of the monumental gall which
could inspire a remark like that.

This is the first time 1t has come to
our knowledge that age had anything
to do with political principles There
are Il lot of old men in Iowa politics
today who are dead wrong. Should
they live to be a century old they
would still be wrong. The Journal
editors may be little kiddish by the
side of Uncle George, but no one
ever had need of an interpreter to tell
where they stood on any public ques-
ton, after reading one of their declara-

NEWSPAPER "PASSES."

If, as alleged, the talk OF withdraw
papers was in the nature OF threat
it has had small effect upon the ut
terances of newspapers. The press has
rather welcomed the idea as business
proposition, promising cash instead OIL
trade Many newspapers would prefer
a cash deal. to pay fares and receive
cash for advertising. Possibly some
newspapers have abused the courtesy
of the advertising contracts, but more
have wondered ON a big advertisers
day" where the return Courtesy OF an
excursion ad. was to run without de-
nying it's space to good news or cash
advertising.
AS between the railroads and the
newspapers neither are under particu-
lar obligations. Theirs is business
contract, barter of one service for
another. If there has been favor shown
it has been on one side as much as on
the other. Newspaper transportation
is not free pass. There is no reason
why the railroad should not refuse to
issue mileage to the newspaper or the
refuse an advertising con-
tract on the basis of payment in mile
age books, except as the interests of
either or both are served by the oppos-
lite plan The newspaper pass is not
a pass, but purchased ticket.
