1'cut It out.n

Cedar Rapids Gazette: ''The only
one that ever worked skin game on
me was church member Inever lost
money by loaning it to a ball player OF
an actor"
This is one of Evangelist Sundays
latest outbreaks. Sunday ought to
"cut out" that kind of talk. He ought
to know that he is giving utterance to
what amounts to falsehood. 1t is a
concrete accusation with an abstract
application. 1t is false in the abstract
and may be false in the concrete. It
implies that an individual is more apt
to be wronged by church member
than by person who is not church
member. There is no occasion for
drawing such comparisons between
church members and actors and ball
players. There are church members
among actors and ball players, and
many of both classes who are not
church members are quite respectable
citizens. But there are rogues among
all classes of people, also. The individ-
ual actor and the individual ball player
must stand solely on his personal merits.
The individual church member will have
to stand on his own merits also. Com
PARSONS are odious-very odious, as
made by Evangelist Sunday. The
evangelist ought not to expect perfec-
ton even among church members. He
is not perfect himself. His remarks
may discourage or be an injustice to
thousands of men and women who are
just as conscientious as is Mr.. Sunday,
who are trying to live decent, Christian
lives, but who may not view matters
religious in quite the same light as does
the ex-ball player. And his TRADES
afford an opportunity for the opponents
of religion and of the church to hinder
the cause of Christianity.
After all, maybe Sunday was shrewd
enough not to loan any money to ball
player or an actor and, therefore, lost
none in that way.

RURAL CARRIERS MEETING.
A County Organization Perfected and
Officers Elected.

At a meeting Of the rural carriers of
Howard county called to meet at the
postoffice in Cresco, May 30th, the fol-
lowing were present:
Cresco w. 81. Dean, w. j. Patter-
son, j. G. Nichols, w. R. Mitchell, S.
W. Harris, w. G. Fish.
Elma-E. C. Sayers, A. F. Rhode, E.
B. Bond.
Chester H. A. Winslow, w. j. Ora
ham.
Lime Springs-R. Frost.
Bonair-J. 81. Nichols.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Deane, who stated the object OF the
meeting was to organize a county rural
letter carriers association and assist
the state and national organizations in
their efforts to better the rural service
and also the conditions of the boys who
drive the routes.
An organization was perfected by
.electing the following officers:
President, W. b. Dean.
Sec. and Treas, w. G. Fish.
A vice-president was elected from
each office in the county as follows: w.
r. Mitchell, Cresco; E. c. Sayers, Ell
ma; w. j. Graham, Chester; r. Frost,
Lime Springs; J. II. Nichols, Bonair.
All postmasters and postal clerks in

religion, in education, in commerce
and in manufacturing began life in the
humble home and knew the pangs of
hunger and the pinching of honest
poverty. The sturdy virtues, the
deeds, the imperishable memories of
such men should be gathered and
stored among the most priceless assets
of the nation where they will be con-
tinual inspiration to young men in
every walk of life.
National> prosperity yea, national
life, depends upon national law and
order. Abraham Lincoln said that
secession was the essence of anarchy"
and the man who breaches the gospel
of discomfort the plausible demagogue
who whispers in the ear of the honest
unfortunate or the wantonly vicious
that the government is depressing one
class of people while favoring another
that our courts are owned or controlled
in any manner or to any extent by the
rich as against the poor or by the few
as against the many, breaches anarchy
and treason and is an enemy to his
country and his kind.
This nation has never had in the
presidential chair greater, Drawer,
more conscientious man, nor one in
sp.red by a loftier, more unselfsh
patriotism than Theodore Roosevelt.
No senate or house of represent atives
in the history of our country has sur
passed the present congress in ability,
high minded patriotism, and unselfish
devotion to duty. The courts of our
country are clean, able, and conscien-
tious and fearless in their interpreta-
ton of the law. The individual citizen
thinks for himself and exercises q
higher independence in the discharge
OF his duty as acitizen than ever before.
The door of opportunity opens to the
young man or young woman today
wider and invites to greater things
than have been enjoyed by any genera
tion in all the past, and hope and
confidently believe that many who have
gone from this high school and many
who shall go in the years to come will
prove an honor to the state we love so
we'll and credit to the school which
equips them for life's duties and re-
sponSibilities.

To Whom it Nav Concern.

Sam Jacobson, who was killed by a

The Patch as a Guide.

A New Highlander recently had occa-

One decidedly decent looking man,
and the other of much less proposes

After very little hesitation the man
of the house chose the latter applicant.
A friend who was present evinced
surprise at the selection, asking:
Has that man ever worked for you
before?"
"No, . replied the other; ''in fact,
never saw either of them until today. /"
sThen when did you choose the short

"Face!" exclaimed the proprietor of

RICHARDS MONEY
Another Slice of It Awarded in
 Suit For Services.

David Pichard to-day was given judgment in the superior court by Judge Curtis to recover for services $145 against the estate of the late Jo- seph Lawrence, who lived in the east ern part of the town. This makes the third judgment for services secured by Attorney Church against this es- tate. The first was in favor of Mrs Margaret Leonard for $500, the sec for $100, and the third is the present one. The estate consisted of S11, ,OOO cash in bank and the homestead OF East Main street. Mir Lawrence left the entire estate to his sisters, who lived in Canada at the time the will was drawn, but a few months before his death he ascertained that his sis ters were not living and he went down town one day to see the late Attorney C. w. Gillette to have another will drawn. Mir Gillette was not in his office, MT Lawrence was unable to see him, so he returned home, had d relapse of his illness, and died in few weeks.
 In the declining years of his life he seemed to be dependent upon his neighbors for the performance of his household affairs, as has been testi- fed to in the three cases which have been decided.
