Abe Ruef FriendIess.

The only man of them all who has made
no effort to offer bail of any kind is
Abra ham Ruef. His bail was originally
fixed at $4,000 on the five extortion
charges first brought against him. The
additional indictments returned against
him nave piled up his bail requirement to
the appalling sum of 81, 125,0O0 bonds, or
$567. 500 cash.
Ruef was asked today whether he in
tends to make any effort to give bail and
regain his liberty. in case Judge Dunno,
for his own part. were willing to accept
bail now that Ruef has convicted himself
by pleading guilty and is actually in Gus
tody pending sentence. He replied that If
his premOnitions were correct there were
so many duplicate indictments fOrthcOm-
ing against him that it would take many
millions to set him temporarilY free.

Just Our Luck.

Editing a newspaper is nice thing.
If we publish jokes, people say we are
rattle Drained. if we don't, we are fos-
sils. If we publish original matter they
say we don't give them enough selec-
tons. If we give them selections they
say we are too lazy to write.
If we don't go to church we are heath
ems. If we do go we are hypocrites. If
we remain at the office we ought to be
out looking for news items If we go
out then we are not attending to bust
ness. If we wear old clothes they laugh
at us. If we wear good clothes they say
we have pull.

"Prsssing On"

BY WILLIAM BRYANT, D. d.
The gain in our lives may seem little;
The triumphs not much, over sin;
We mete not by jot and by little,
As daily some victory we win.
A little more patience in sorrow;
little more courage in trial.
A little more faith for tomorrow;
A little more brave sclf-dcnial.
a little more earnest endeavor;
A little more conquest of wrong;
little more trusting forever
a little more JOY in the song.
Thus life makes it's gains, sure and steady
And climbs just one hill day by day:
For heaven the heart grows more ready,
With God for our friend all the way.

A Michigan Home.

A revelation shook Zion City Sun
day-news of an attempt to purchase
land for a new Zion by Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, on Mormon island, near Boyne
City, Mich. Voliva departed yester-
day ostensibly to deliver a sermon In
Milwaukee, but in reality to look up
properties in Boyne City, Mich. The
facts leaked out in his absence.
This is not the first time Boyne City
has come into prominence as the origi-
nal or secondary home of new faith.
A few miles out in Pine lake from the
town lies what is known as Mormon's
island, where Joseph Smiths original
followers had colony in the early
'40s. 1t Is not known whether the site
of the new Zion will be on this island
or near Boyne City, on the mainland.
