The last great Englishman is low"
SO Tennyson wrote i'm his ode upon
the death of the Duke of Wellington
fifty-six years ago. Arthur Wellesley
hardly did more for England than
Grover Cleveland for America, As Il
statesman the American ranks above
the warrior-statesman. The glory
of each, the supreme qualifications
for civic leadership, was saving
common sense" In sOundness and
sureness Of Judgment; in integrity of
heart, mind and soul; iu courage to
endure all things rather than quail
before a storm-in these qualities
Cleveland can only be compared with
Washington. AS a moral and intel
lectual fortress the one will loom in
our history second only to the other
Cleveland (like Washington) wasnot
brilliant man, not a shOwy man,
not II man of genius; but he was rich
in manhood beyond millions of
Others. He stood a strong wall of
defense to the country at a time
when the silver delusiOn had brought
madness upon his party and threat
ened general devastation. He could
stand alone against anything hu-
manly endurable Like Milton and
Milton's one steadfast angel when
all those around him went astrav.
he did not shrink from universal
rpprOach. far worse to bear than
violence" James Bryce. the eminent
Old-WOrld student Of American in
stitutions, has wondered at the
solid foresight and large intellectual
grasp shown by Mr.. Cleveland
throughout his public career; James
Russell Lowell, politically an oppon-
ent, recognized in him the supremely
typical Americans: Senator Allison
has exclaimed in burst of frankness,
''It was Gods mercy to this country
that Cleveland and not Harrison
was elected President" If here was
not a great man, then greatness
spells evil always and good never.
Even more nearly descriptive than
of the man dead in 1852 are these
further lines from Tennyson's ode:
go good gray head which all men knew,
voice from which their omens all men
drew.
0 iron nerve to true occasion true
o fallen at length that tower OF strength
Which stood four-square to all the winds
that blew
This is the man who was buried

The Sad Roll of the Muffled Drum
Charlotte Chronicle.

The old soldiers have had their last
chance to elect a veteran from their
ranks to the governorship. AS they
have fought their last battle against
an armed foe, so have they fought
their last fight. against the politi-
cian-their last battle against him
for Governor. The old soldier may
be depended upon when the material
interests of the State demand his at
tention, but as to making another
plea to the politician to give them u
Governor. they will not do it. They
have been given good, big, rough
pile OF stones, and they have more
stones on their farms now than they
want. They have had enough of in
gratitude. Carr, Steadman, Hornet

Christian Church.

Rev. S. H. zendt, the pastor, gave
his people Home Mission sermon,
next Lords Day being the day for the
annual offering for Home Missions.
His address was confined to the prob
lem of Home Missions in our cities.
He gave some very interesting Stats
tics on this subject. One hundred
lived in the cities; now it reaches 80
per cent In 1910 81 per cent Of our
population we're in the rural districts.
There is at this time but II per cent.
More of the worlds wealth was ere.
|ated in the nineteenth century than
in all the centuries preceding, "a
per cent of our national wealth has
been created since the year 1910, and
according to statisticians is now In.
creasing at the rate of S7,OO0,0O0 per
day. If a boy grows physically but
not mentally, we call it simpleton
or a bully. Our county mas made
great strides in mental and material
growth, but are yet but children in
moral and spiritual development AS
a result there are dangerous spots in
our body polite. Brice, the English
author and statesman, says: THE
most conspicuous failure In America
today is in the government of her cit
ies." 1t is generally conceded by our
thoughtful statesmen that our great
est weakness is in municipal mis-
rule. Three-fifths of all our paupers
come from the cities. The ratio of
crime is two and a half times more
among our foreign population than
native born, Out of every four young
men who go to the city only one is
saved to the church, In one district
in Greater New York forty churches
moved out and 100000 foreigners
moved in. The church that is afraid
of being submerged by any element
has lost its mission. Nothing but
Christ can save the cities. The
church must be on the alert to meet
these new conditions. At the even.
ing service two young people made
the confession!

TELEPHONE PATRONS
Subscribers Are Warned Against
T Misrepresentation.

To the patrons and rural subscrib-
ers of the Home Telephone Company:
False reports, untrue stories and ma.
licious Misrepresentation are being
circulated here and there about the
county by irresponsible parties, de-
string to injure the Home Telephone
company The stories are absurd and
many are amusing to those who know
their absolute falseness.
Certain agents soliciting for rival
company have stated that The Home
Telephone Co. existed by permission
of the Bell Company; that the Bell
company could absorb it any tIme
they wished; that they had invoices of
the property and, knew just what the
company owned; that the only reason
the Bell company does not buy the
Home property is because of the I'M
reasonable price at which the owners
hold the property.
These and other statements have
been made to subscribers and to farm
ers meetings. The Bell people are
trying to- induce Home subscribers to
connect with their company and they
are making any kind Of a statement
or offer to get people to listen to them
The unsavory and unquestionaDle
methods to which the agents resort
are new to the people of Mahaska
county, but they are well known in
other parts of the county where they
have worked and where they have
been equally fruitless in their efforts
at hoodwinking the people.
Our patrons should investigate these
statements from the foundation and
not pass Judgment after only a super.
fetal examination. ....r
AS to the Home Telephone selling
out to the Bell company, it is a lie.
II is, however, only one among many
false statements made to the rural
subscribers. The company has never
offered to sell its property to the Bell
Company. and positively will not sell
to the Bell corporation or trust.
The Home Company is now engaged
in preparations and purchase of ma
terial to proceed with the improve.
ments to its property. Some of the
work is now in hand. The Home com,
pany appreciates the manner in which
the rural lines have supported 1t dur
ing the recent controversy and the
new contracts entered into are appre-
ciated. The company proposes to go
ahead with its work of Improvement
and to do all and more than has been
promised the subscribers.
The other company has thus far
been unsuccessful in their soliciting
and have been unable to contract with
any complete line. They boast of con-
tracts with Home Company patrons
but they lose them as soon as the sit.
uation is fully understood by the pat
rons. -
The Bell agents have at present
abandoned work on the lines east and
north of the city, where they failed ut
terly to secure patrons and signers
for their contracts. They are now
peddling their miserable fabrications
among the subscribers to the south
west of the city,

With Me-" Dr. Allen in his sermon
treated his subject from both a ma:
ternal and spiritual standpoint He
deplored the tendency toward narrow
ness and bigotry and his admonition
was to seek the truth and then pursue
1t. The errors, decisions and visions
of life are frequently the teachers
which lead us out into the broader
knowledge of the world. Education,
the various creeds, the field of phil
osophy and science were all touched
upon as illustrating the progress
which the trend of life was making
over the mistaken conceptions of the
past.
