Golden Rule and Golden Age.

self to sophisms, and it does not mix
with wrong. It is absolute and i'm

laws always brings a penalty and Wis
it's that penalty on nations as well as

The Golden Rule is as binding now as
when first uttered. Do unto others as

kindness in the world. and they will
grow into a harvest Of which you do
not dream. The harvest may not be
garnered until after you r dead.
What of that? It will bless some one
else, and do not be too sure that by
its reflex action 1t will not bless your
self, for you are to live in other. lives
than this.

dreamed Of a golden age. Was 1t only

in splendor. There Is only one royal
road to that golden age, and that is the
highwayo of the Golden Rule.

they are a choice delicacy to the
cuckoo, which slips quietly through the
trees as 1t hunts for them.
Insects on the wing are not safe, for
swallows and swifts in rapid flight
skim back and forth over the meadows
and without pausing catch many a
small gnat The birds called fycatch-

they remain quiet or a perch and only
swoop down on insects which come
near at hand.

TRIBUNE'S SUGGESTION
MEETS ENDORSEMENT

The suggestion made in Tuesdays s
Tribune regarding establishing Tag
day in Florence for the ben eft of the
Public Library. has met with en-.
dorsement at the hands Of W. j. Dan.
iels who has grown enthusiastic over
the idea. Mr.. Daniels will work
from this time forward upon this
suggestion as he says it is q plan
whereby our only public institution
may be helped literally at the hands
of the public, and at the same time
no one needs donate large sum OF
money.
His suggestion is that steps be taken
at once to perfect plans for the money
raising campaign 30 that all details
will be perfected, and then have
number Of young women Of the city
sell these tags on tho Fourth Of
July when, it is expected, hundreds
of visitors will be in the city to
celebrate, and when they will be
in the right turn Of mind to assist
in a worthy cause.
Appropriate tags should be print
ed and tied with a string so that they
can be fastened to the coat button
hole. There is no price to be set on
the tags, the buyer to give the amount
he thinks he can best spare. On the
cards should be printed the words, "I
have donated to the Florence Public
Library" 1t is not often that a
town the size of Florence has such a
we'll equipped library and the citi
zens Of the city always express more
or less interest in its welfare, but 1t
does not at any time have more
money than 1t needs, and large sum
could be advantageously expended at
this moment in the purchase OF
books that are badly needed. When
Mr.. Daniels was attending the meet
ing Of the delegates at La Junta last
week he conversed with q former
Florence lady who now resides thsre
and who WAS selling tickets, and she
told him that she alone had raised
sec by 2 O'Clock in the afternoon.
The Florence Public Library needs
support and there Is no better plan
that could be suggested than one here
outlined. and If the citizens Of Flor
ence are as enterprising in this case
as they are In ali others, this sug
gestion will be acted upon and carried
out. The Tribune Is seeking nc
credit for the suggestion. but 1t does
want to see the Public Library sci
upon Il more substantial footing. II
any citizens care to discuss this ques
tion through these columns, the papel
will devote the space to the contribu.
tions.

BAPTIST DEDICATE THEIR
NEW CHURCH RUiLDik

/ With appropriate service the ele-
CANT new thirty thousand dollar
church building of the First Baptist
congregation of Roswell, on Sunday
morning was dedicated to the worship
lof God. The dedication was invoked
in solemn prayer after the musical
service, sermon and raising of the
subscription necessary to clear the
property of indebtedness.
The musical program was started
at 10: so, and was carried out accord
ing to program published in the Rec
ord Saturday. This was followed by
one of the best sermons ever heard
in Roswell. The speaker was DIR. J.
F. Love, of Atlanta, Ca, assistant
secretary of the Home Mission Board
of the Southern Baptist Convention,
and he talked of the place of the BIZ
BILE in the worship of church. He
is an earnest, forceful speaker and
his words carry conviction. After the
sermon the building committee of the
church made a report in which they
stated that the church was practical
ly completed, probably a thousand
dollars worth of work, in completing
the baptistry and yard improvements,
being yet undone, and that against
the work now finished there was a
debt of $500. Donations were asked
for and when they started it seemed
that the more the people gave the
hnu nfo od fn oiy he
giving seemed to open their hearts.
and in a comparatively short time all
was raised except a few hundred dol
lars that the officers of the church
knew would be given by absent mem
bers. The dedicatory prayer was then
offered by DIR. Love. after which all
sang, I'VE Praise Thee, God"
The work now done on the church
and grounds amounts to $33, 900. 1t Is
one of the finest churches in the
Southwest, and nearly all of the mo-
1ey was raised in cash in and around
Roswell, by a mebreship, large, of
about 295 people.
A musical program was rendered
at the church last night. the numbers
of which were of special merit. Rev.
Bruce Kinney, of Topeka, district Sec
rotary of the American Baptist Home
Missionary Society of New York.
preached a good sermon.
The Southland Male Quartet, which
gives an entertainment at the South
ern M. E. church tonight, sang at the
service of that church last night, de-
lighting all who heard them.

Wednesday will be big day in
Roswell, for on that day the Demo
Gratis of the Territory meet in dele
gate convention in Roswell for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
Denver convention, a national COM
mitteeman and a candidate for dele
gate to congress. According to the
call issued by the Democratic Central
Committee of New Mexico, the COM
mittee will meet Wednesday morning
at nine o'clock for the purpose of
making the final arrangements for
the convention, which is called to or
der at ten O'Clock by Chairman A. A.
Jones.
Mayor Richardson will probably
deliver an address of welcome to the
convention on behalf of the city. This
will probably come after the address
and calling to order of the convention
by Chairman Jones. The temporary
officers will then take charge of the
convention, the committees will be
appointed, after which the convention
will doubtless adjourn until after
noon.
While no definite arrangements
have been made, it is the expectation
that during the afternoon of the first
day.. Wednesday, the delegates to the
Denver convention will be selected
and 1t is the hope of the local people
that the convention will hold a two
days session. n that case the nomi-
nation of delegate to congress proba-
bly, will be made on the second day.
The evening of the first day has
been set aside for a reception to the
visitors at the Commercial Club, at
eight O'Clock. Several good talks will
be made during the evening.
Thursday morning, 1t has been plal-
ned to give the delegates an auto
ride through the farms and around
Roswell, from eight o'clock up to the
time of meeting of the convention.
The convention will meet in the
auditorium at Amusement Park. and

for the occasion.

Kansas City, June S.-The Kaw
river continues to rise, and there are
indications of it's being out of its
banks here within less than twenty
four hours. Business houses in the
west bottoms are moving their
stocks to save them in case of a rep
etition of the floods of 1904. Several
hundred families in Armourdale and
Argentine have moved to. higher

ed 1927 feet on the guage. The situa
ton on the upper Kaw is favorable,
the water having begun falling, and
indications are for fair weather. While
portions of North Topeka are flood
ed the water has not yet reached
Kansas avenue in the business dis
trict. With the exception of the San
ia Fe, none of the railroads report
much trouble.
At noon there was a break in the
Kaw river bank at least 500 yards
wide at a big bend of the river
mile and half west of Topeka. Wa
ter was sweeping down into North
Topeka and was two to three feet
deep in many houses.
Butte, Mont, June 8.-While the
flood waters have entirely disappeared
