Centralized

Enthusiastically concerning what
Roosevelt said in favor of the
general government, Quite a
sane man is "Marse Henry" but
when you talk of checking the
rights of states, the boys below
the Ohio, generally yeip and
show very plainly that they be :
long to "Marse Robt. E. Lee S"
hosts and Calhoun, Davis and
Henry w. Grady-all these were
men of large calibre of the south
ern propaganda, who died be-
lieving, or asserting the falacious
doctrine of states rights.
President Roosevelt and Sec
re tary Root have made it plain
that the nation was superior to
any of it separate parts, and they
also advocate more centralized
government. This is what we
are all DESTROYS of. A state has
too much power as it is.
Watterson does not agree with
Roosevelt along this line of pro
cedure, but we do.

Political Imposters.

The time of year is nearing for
the bobbing up of all manner of
political imposters, who will do
anything to fleece the politicians
and fool the publ in regard to
their imaginary importance and
influence. The organ ion Of
fake clubs, that have impure and
personal motives, will now be-
come very numerous. Beware
of the organizers of such clubs,
for such things are usually done
prematurely by men Of evil and
selfish designs. They are. most
ly, an abomination to the Negro
race, for the simple fact that a
lot of imposters head them and
are persons Of no influence nor
standing; not even desirable
citizens.' We therefore denounce
such as retrogression instead of
d progress to the whole people,
white or cOlored.
In order to aid the progress of
our state, let men of ability and
influence only be reckoned with
This is not applied to any county
or city bu, the whole state of
Illinois, wherein there are too
many water headed coored peo-
pie assuming to be political lead
ers and do not know under what
form of government we live.
We hope this club organization
by irresponsible ignOramuses
will not be contagious if it has
become epidemic in any sections
Of the state.

An Inquiry.

Mr.. Editor
We as Methodists pride our
selves on being one of the g eat
est christian organizations of the
world. Among our people we
have local preachers, elders, pre-
siding elders and bishops. We
have been taught that it is the
duty of the presiding elders to
take charge of all Of the minis
tiers of the several churches of
his district, to see that they are
Cody men and to see to il that
no minister impose upon the
members of the church to which
the bishop has given him charge.
The several churches Of the dis.
tricts are burdened with very
heavy expense to pay the presid.
ing elder handsome salary; IN
asmuch as this is true, permit NE
TO ask the following question for
some minister, presiding elder or
some we'll informed person to an
SWer:
If it is the duty of the presid-
ing elder to look after the best
interests of the several churches
Of his district has he not failed
to perform the most important
part or his duty when he sits in
the annual conference and allows
or permits the bishop to send a
minister to church of which
two thirds or perhaps three
fourths Of it mem bers are oppos-
ed to being seat to them =?
We would like for this question
TO be made plain to US We have
not been able to see any great
need CT the presiding elders, and
If the presiding elders are to up.
hold the ministers in carrying
ous his wishes regardless of the
members of the church then we
think the ministers should be
compelled to pay him out of their
own salaris. We may be igno-
rant in understanding, if so We
are willing to stand correction,
but we truly believe it is detri-
mental to any church and to the
christian religion to send a minis
ter to a church where almost the
entire membership is opposed to
bis coming.-S. M. w

{ The labor problem is the most i'm
portant issue before the American peo-
pie today. Contracts for great i'm
provements, national in scope, have
been Cancelled because of a scarcity OF
labor. Railway extension and rail-
way construction have been seriously
retarded because unskilled labor can
not be secured. Right here in Cedar
Falls there is not help enough avail
able to anything like meet the de-
mand The brick yard has been ADAM
doned because men cannot be Sc
cured to operate it, Sewer contracts
are languishing. the gas people are
hampered in making extension OF
mains and the factories are advertis-
ing for more men. In the meantime
wages have constantly advanced until
now unskilled labor readily commands
81 a day and even greater demands
are made in some classes. of common
work In the realm of domestic help
the stringency is even greater propor-
tionately and it is practically impos-
sible to procure the help needed to re-
lieve overburdened house wives. There
is certainly quite a contrast presented
from the conditions that confronted
the country ten years ago.

ors can accomplish. The Dominion has
now made up her mind to treat US to
as harsh laws as can be devised, and
her decision is wise and right. For
quarter of century she has waiteo
patiently, while one president after
another, and one secretary of state at
ter another, devised treaties intended
for the mutual benefit of Canada and
the United States. Every time the
senate imagining itself to exist for Sc
questering benefits desired by the Well
intrenched, has protected It's clients
against the administration and the
people. Calmly, at length. Canadian
leaders have seen that no fair measure
of reciprocity could ever pass the sem
ate. and she has decided to do all in
her power to stop trade with us, to de-
velop it with England and her other
colonies: to favor Europe against the
United States. to develop her own in
calculable resources. We wish her
well, Whatever harm our ass policy
brings to us has been fully and pains
takingly deserved.
