EPISCOPAL PASTOR FOR u,

The Episcopalian diocese of Mil
waukee will install a pastor at the
University of Wisconsin to have
special charge of the welfare of
students of that faith, as soon as
the funds necessary for his support
are available. The announcement
was made by Bishop w. w. Webb
before the annual DIOCESAN council,
when he stated his belief that the
needs of Episcopalian students at
the state university had been too
long neglected by their church,
The Congregational, Presbyter-
ian, Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist
and Methodist churches have
already installed student pastors
in Madison, who devote their en-
tire time to work among the
students. They have bound them
selves together in a University
Pastors Association. In order
that they may be of service, in a
religious and social way, through
out the state, the association has
issued a prospectus of addresses,
sermons; and lectures which the
members are prepared to give be-
fore churches, conventions, and
religious conferences. They will
be assisted by professors from the
university faculty, graduate
students, and upperclassmen of

MANNERS AND MORALS

What are manners and what are
morals? The question is a timely
one and satisfying answers might
lead to thought.
So many mistake mere surface
politeness for manners and SO many
mistake the mere appearances of
goodness and piety for morals.
Manners are basis, they are our
very selves, and on the manners of a
people the laws of that people de-
pend and while the laws but touch
here and there, the manners are
never absent.
Manners give form and color to
life, determine our attitude toward
others and the attitude of others to
us. They not only contribute to
but really determine our happiness
and In a way are the foundation of
morals. Manners are to character
what expression is to the face-a
nameless, underlined something that
is really all.
Morals are not confined to chast-
ity and virtue, humility, meekness,
conversion and devotion, nor do
morals mean SO conducting oneself
as to avoid gossip and SANDER, nor
the acceptance of society's DEGREES
as guide to life; long prayers and
much pretense do not constitute
morals or morality and yet it would
be difficult for the many to be
moral without these, still one might
be very moral and have or do none
of them.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Isn't it funny. There is a law
on the federal statutes making it a
penal offence to advertise lotteries
through the mail service in the
newspapers, and yet our dear
Uncle Sam" has several land
lotteries on his hands which are
advertised in the papers throu gh-
out the country and not a single
issue of any of them has been re-
fused at the post-office. And then,
we have state laws against gambl-
ing, and yet, Uncle Sam" is
gambling in land and no objections
are raised. He no doubt is a
privileged character and like the
king can do no wrong.
People who are really trying to
do Gods work, who really are in
earnest to follow out the mandates
of the Master, Love thy neighbor"
and who are not thinking of adver-
Using themselves, need not stray
five blocks from their own home to
find a chance to do all that the
highest type of service in God S
work demands.
1t is quite probable, that Gen.
Fred Grant will be the prohibition
ist standard bearer in the next
presidential campaign. Gen. Grant
is regular army officer and
strange as it may seem, is IN hearty
accord with the cold water host.
The writer has always deprecated
the third party movement and has
wondered why the prohibitionists
did not exercise the same wisdom
as the liquor men, fight all men at
the polls imicable to their interests.
Should the prohibitionists follow
the same plan, they might make
success possible.
Uncle Joe Cannon says, that the
new tariff law just suits him. No
body had any doubt of it Uncle
Joe, for you train with the crowd
which is mighty friendly to the
special interests
The rich democrats who have
large bank deposits and who SYM
pathize with the Aldrich wing of
the republican party, are con-
WINGED that prosperity has returned
and do not desire any change.

HITCHCOCK AND THE POST
OFFICE

During the fiscal year ending
June so, 1909, the post Office de-
partment shows a deficit for $780,
900, 900. This is 81 900, 900 in ex-
cess of any previous record. Post
master General Hitchcock proposes
to remedy matters. He is quoted
in a recent press dispatch as assert
ing that he believes that rural de-
livery service can be handled by
contracts to the advantage of the
government.
Farmers who have had experience
with the abuses of the old star mail
routes, will doubtless have some
thing to say on this subject before
Mr.. Hitchcock succeeds in putting
the rural mailing service on con-
tract plan.
Among other matters which Post
master General Hitchcock proposes
to improve is the ranking privi-
lege enjoyed by government officials
and members of congress. There
is no question but what the frank
ing privilege is being grossly
abused. Doubtless the ranking
system has contributed millions of
dollars annually toward the yearly
deficit.
Providing it is impractical to
eliminate the franking system en-
tirely it can be confined to reason
able lines.

Hunt, eighteen, was slain and her
parents fatally shot on Monday night.
Jerry Mackley was first taken in

before the murder he had made
threats to kill the entire Hunt fami-

row a revolver in the ne!ghborhood,
Jerry was with his brother when the
revolver was purchased.
Although believed TO be in dying
condition, Steven Hunt identified
Joseph Mackley as the man who
killed his daughter, this morning.
