ment made by the influence Of the
church.
Both state and church allow a rea-
sonable amount of partisanshlp. we
may be proud of our Americanism, even
though the nation be not perfect; and
proud, even though we feel teat there
are still too many nations on the earth.
We may favor international consolida-
tions-up to a certain place. But We
are Americans and we sing the star
Spangled Banner and we cheer for the
stars and stripes. When we do this
we mean no disrespect to God Save the
King or the Union Jack. 1t is so with
the church. We have too many
churches. God is going to force some
of them together. But he will keep
enough to meet the needs of different
convictions and temperaments. Mean
time each may be loyal to his own
church without being bigoted, even as
TO the nation without being narrow.
FINALLY, the nation and the churcn
both offer immense fields for consecra-
tion. 1t is a wonderful thing to love
and serve eighty millions Of people, and
A wonderful thing to love the deeper
life of men so as to be willing to sacri-
fee time, money and work to serve 1t
by the ministries of the church. Tnere
is no fight between the constitution and
the Bible. The cross and the flag are
not enemies. Loyalty to church and
state is loyalty to humanity and loyalty
to God"

ENTIRE CONGREGATION
APPLAUDS ROOSEVELT
USUAL CALM OF SERVICE IS
INTERRUPTED
Rev. Or. J. w. Campbell Declares
Former President Was Great
Power for Exposition of
Moral Corruption

Former President Theodore Roose-
velt has done more in the exposition
of moral corruption than all the judges
and ministers could do in fifty years,
was the declaration by Rev. DR.. j. w.
Campbell of New York that brought
forth hearty applause yesterday morn
ing at the First Methodist church. The
usual calm of the service was inter
rupted by the applause which was as
hearty as it was spontaneous.
With the characteristic form of
greeting, Dr. Campbell, who is for
mer pastor of the church, was given
a Chautauqua salute by the large con-
gregation as he stepped on the pulpit
platform, accompanied by S. P. Null
ford. president of the trustees Of the
church.
MIR. Mulford spoke in praise of the
former pastorate of DIR. Campbell, fol-
lowing which the preacher of the day
spoke of some conditions existing In
his ministerial work subsequent to his
pastorate of the First church. He
said: II have not heard a genuine
Methodist amen for thirteen years, out
side of conventions, and 1t seems to be
like a drying up process In religious
fervor."
Prison Doors Open
DR.. Campbell preached an interest
ing sermon, taking for his. text the
words from Psalms 24:9: Lift up your
heads, o ye gates; even lift them up,
We everlasting doors and the King of
Glory shall come in He said, in part:
This chapter is full of the eXalta-
ton by the Psalmist of our divine
Lord. If I could paint I could produce
a picture of great merit on Christian
precepts from this chapter.
David reminds me of Silas and Paul
at the time they were in prison and
beaten with stripes, when ii was re-
marked. What have we done that we
should be beaten in this manner They
hit upon the plan of singing a song,
p.esumably on the order of Onward,
Christian Soldier The doors of the
prison were opened, and we know the
result When one can sing earnestly
in prison there Is a depth of feeling
causing these emotional actions. When
Bishop McCabe sang about the Stars
and Stripes in Libby prison the boys
tool. new courage. David had the
spirit of song embodied in the words
of our text that has been handed down
to tie present time.
Prosperity and Christianity
Il do not think that a certain line Of
prosperity leads to Christianity. The
people then are inclined to forget God
and go more on their own resources,
and dry up i'm their own conceits.
when the human will stands out
stubbornly against God and His pre-
cepts it is a bad omen. l have seen
young men set themselves even against
home and mother. and Tho have grown
old in sin. These men are often hard
to reach, and the motive power that
can best turn them to Christianity
should always be in the minds of
Christian people
There are too many processing
Christians who scarcely know we have
a King of Glory. Many live on God,
SO to speak. but do not recognize him
as a king over all, and are therefore
thoughtless about his goodness and
mercies.
Lift up your heads. o We gates;
even lift them up, ye eyerla sting doors;
and the King of Glory shall come in "

That the council acted wisely in
hiring it's street sprinkling by the
month with the understanding that
the contractor should put in the
wet time at something else, was
made apparent Monday when follow
ing the rains of Friday and Satur-
day, the road drag was put to work
on our streets which in a few hours
were made smooth and dry. Now let
the farmers follow the example set
by their village brethren. Two or
three hours dragging by every farm
er, while things are drying up, on
the roads adjacent to his own land,
and he will be surprised at the
change, besides he will be repaid
hundred fold by the ease and COM
fort with which he can haul his
loads, be they heavy or light, for
after all it is the farmer who uses
the country roads the most. Use the
road drag peIsistently after every
rain for the balance of the summer
and you will wonder how you got
along without it.-Preston Times.

What's the Difference /?

If mother puts brandy in mince
pies and her son likes the pie for the
brandy, what has she to say when
that son prefers to take his brandy
clear instead of having it mixed with
apples, meat and raisins, and frcm
glass instead of pie crust? What
has society to say to the youth who
plays cards for cigars when his sis
ter plays for book of poems? Why
jump on to the man who plays poker
at so cents corner any more than
the man who plays whist for a IS
favor? The Record Is not condemn
ing whist and mince pie and books
of poems put as stakes, but it is
calling attention to some parallels.
What is the use of making war on
slot machines and taking your chill
dren to places to buy chances on the
grab bag or ring in the cake"
It's not fair. Play the game. A lot
of people are publicans and make no
other claim Their associates know
1t. If these same people were the
opposite of publicans that fact would
also be known without protestation
or publication.-Cedar Rapids Sat-
urday Record.

Jack DaltOn's Philosophy.

There seems to be little use of
talk to the boys of today about
standing up straight, keeping their
hands out of their pockets and walk
ing like men instead of monkeys.
There is not one out of hundred
in this community who throws his
chest out, keeps his head erect and
his hands at his sides as he walks.
1t is the same in every other COM
munity We have ever visited. The
average boy slouches along the
street with his shoulders bumped up
like the back of short-haired dog
on a cold wet day. His head lops
down on his chest and he has to
arch his eyebrows in order to get
look straight ahead. His hands are
pushed down deep in his pockets
and he shambles along more like a
cripple than a sound human being
Wonder why ii is thus. Out of a
crowd of thousands Of men and boys
in a large city or at any large gath
ering you cannot find more than
very few men and boys who walk
erect. II such condition is allowed
to exist the next generation will be
so round-shouldered and consump-
tive looking that the schools of the
land will have to be turned into mil
itary training schools to get the
kinks out of the backs of our boys.
There Is no rea.on undei the sun
why a boy should not be straight un-
less he is cripple. OF course the
use of pipe and the cigarette, both
so decidedly popular with our school
boys, has a tendency to keep them
from being straight up and down,
but even the use of those unclean
things it not an excuse for any boy
to transform his healthy, erect body
into bumped up mass of sallow
flesh and ungainly bones"

The Poorest Man.

We met the poorest man the other
day we ever saw in our life. When
asked to subscribe for our paper he
said he hadn't had enough money in
three years to pay for it week.
When told his credit was good he
said If Britt was for sale for two
cents he couldn't buy single off a
barn. When we told him that on
account of his poverty we would let
him have it a month free on trial, he
said that If he had to pay the post
age for a month he couldn't do it If
postage stamps were thicker than
the lice in Egypt and sold for two
cents a train load. We finally asked
him ii he kept a dog and he admitted
that he had four because he couldn't
afford to buy powder and shot to
shoot them. He owns 800 acres OF
Iowa land but he can't afford to give
1t away as he has no money to pay
for making out the papers.-Britt

" The Power of Love.

The lecture delivered in this city
by the Rev. Father Vaughn will be
recalled as one of the finest efforts OF
the kind ever listened to here. His
subject was 1.-The Power of Love-"
and now that the eloquent priests
lips are stilled in death, the follow
ing beautiful passage from that lee
ture is being much quoted and COM
mented upon as literary gem that
will shine forever among the best
things in American literature:
Men in blue and gray who have
looked with hate into one another's
eyes and tried to shoot away the
life of brother have crept close to-
gether to die in the trembling twi-
light. Men and horses lie heaped
in confusion. Men with their limbs
torn from their bodies, men with
their Threats cut, and men with their
scalps lying bare and their heads
raised to heaven they are crying:
W obCl, WdlCI. anu III
Gods world there is not a soul to
answer. Yes, there is an answer.
See, there come two women stealing
over the battlefield, creeping under
the beams of the moon. Is it some
mother come out to look for her son
in the midst of death? Is it some
woman who seeks the man to whom
she has pledged her love? All, no.
The cross of Christ Is on her breast,
the bonnet of st. Vincent on her
head. Two little Sisters of Charity,
alone with God and night. How they
move without fear through the val
ley of death and of darkness, How
tenderly they stoop DER each dying
soldier! For them there is no North
or South, no blue or gray, no ma
tionality. no creed, no denomination
in every soldiers upturned face they
see the fact of Christ. How tender
ly they moisuen the parched lips. how
they cool the fevered brow, how they
close the gaping wound, how they
murmur words of consolation in the
dying ear, how they take last mes
sage to bring back to the mother and
wife and the loved ones far away!
Even there-even in the death and
the blood and carnage of Jattle-the
power of love reigns supreme. And
stamped forever on the flag-the
Stars and Stripes-stamped forever
is that lesson of love, that as it leads
on in the vanguard of civilization it
may teach to the world, Americas
story; the fatherhood OF God and the
brotherhood of mantle glorious.
the splendid lesson of love-

Another Veteran Passes Away.


Among the veterans who marched
together on Monday there was one
familiar form missing, that of John
w. Spriggs, the we'll known veteran
who moved to DEBORAH from Bluff
ton township a few years ago, who
died at his home in the fifth ward
from heart failure on Thursday
evening, after an illness of only one
day.
John William Spriggs was born
Nov. s, 1910, in England, and came
to America in 1914, settling in
Racine county, Wis, where he en-
listed in the service of his country,
as a member of the 22d Wisconsin
Infantry. In 1870 he came to Winnie
shiek Co., and for many years lived
on his farm in Button Twp. until
1904, when he moved to DEBORAH.
In March, 1870, at Union Grove,
Wis, he was married to Miss Emma
Jane Caraine, and to this union nine
children were born, six of whom
with the wife survive a devoted,
kind and loving husband and faith
er, viz, William, Esmond, S. D.;
Fred, Maddox, N. D.; Walter, Yak
ina, Wash; Mrs. Mary Peck, Ridge
way, Grace and Leo, at home. One
brother, Jabez of Kansasville, Wis,
and sister, Mrs. J. B. Tye of Girls
void, Iowa, also survive him.
During his long residence in Bluff
ton township he was esteemed by all
who knew him. He served as town
ship trustee and as a member of the
school board, and was always up
right and honorable in all his deal
ings. He was member of Col.
Hughes Post, G.. A. R.
The funeral services were held
yesterday, with interment in Oak
Lawn cemetery at Cresco, Rev. John
Gammons officiating.

MARKETS, MINING AND METALS.

on a fair buying demand. Stocks all
along the line were strong today,
and weak spots in the market were
hard to find. The bears quickly
covered after the first little advance,
which braced the market up con-
siderable. The metal market re-
manned dull and inactive. The
London metal market was fairly
strong, but this did not seem to send
up the prices in New York. Local
coppers displayed more strength, with
heavier transactions today than they
have for some time past. Nevada
Con. held firm at yesterdays figures,
Cumberland Ely made a point up
ward. Giroux enjoyed an advance
of three points. Mason Valley held
around the same figures. Ely Cen
trail was quite active and trading in
this particular stock was good
throughout the day. Inspiration also
showed more strength today and
looks to be due for a stiff advance.
We believe that all the locals bought
at these prices, especially Nevada
Con-, Ely Central, Mason Valley,
Inspiration, Boston Ely, Ely Western
and Butte Ely. These stocks have
not had the advance they are en-
titled to and are remarkably cheap
at the present market prices, and
will sell many times higher within
the next year.

MAY COMMENCE O
In Case New Road is Near Enough
To Secure Cheap TRANSFORMATION

William Read, who for a number
of years was the most prominent
mining man in White Pine county,
arrived from California last evening.
Mr.. Read was for a number of years
general manager of the Eberhardt
property at Hamilton and also had
charge of the Monitor Mining Cos
property at Taylor.
The discovery of the latter prop
erty caused the White Pine excite
ment in the latter sixties and pro-
duced millions of ounces of white
metal. The ore extracted from TINS
ground was almost pure native silver
on which it was possible to make the
imprint of a coin by laying it on the
ore and hitting it with a hammer.
A tunnel over 5000 feet in length
was driven from the Eberhardt side
of Treasure Hill to tap the ledge at
a depth of 1900 feet but when the
tunnel was in, it was found the ore
was of a very low grade and would
not pay for transportation. Mr..
Read is here to find out how close
the proposed Ely-Goldfield road will
come to Hamilton, with the view of
commencing operations if the road
will come close enough to that camp

UTAH COPPER
PROFITS
HAS REDUCED IT'S COST AND
SAID TO BE MAKING FOUR
GENTS A POUND ON PRESENT
PRICES.

Utah Copper is not particularly
active either in the Boston market
or in New York, but but there has
been some good buying of the issue
recently and with a general improve
ment in the copper list this stock is
bound to give a good account of
itself. At the present time, accord
ing to conservative estimates made
by interests in close touch with the
management the company is earning
better than 4 cents a pound on it's
production; the cost being placed at
less than 8 cents a pound, while the
selling price is close to 10 cents. On
this basis a conservative estimate
shows that it must be earning ST.
100000 annually, $4,000, 900 of
which could be distributed in profits
IL the directors saw fit, and a good
profit could be laid aside each year
as a reserve fund with which to meet
emergencies.
According to this estimate, every
cent advance in the price of the
metal means 100000 additional
profit to the company each year.. If
the market reaches IS cents and the
costs are reduced, as seems highly
probable, the company will be show
ing profits of $3,500,000 within a
year.
