YESTERDAYS ELECTION.

The fact that Captain Emery was
defeated for mayor by such CLOSE
margin in face of the fight centered by
the Democrats on the re-electlon OF
Mayor Phillips should be proof TO the
head Of the new administration that
there is a wide spread sentiment for a
change in the method Of governing
the city. The large vote polleo p9
Cautaiu Emery is proof that cleaner
OttumWa is demanded; that some OF
the things tolerated in the past must
be tolerated no longer.
Foremost among these things is
gambling. There must be no more
gambling in the city, no more collect
ing Of fines against the gamblers. Ihe
saloon matter is, of course, In the
hands of the district court, but the
bootlegger must be suppressed. Uhu
II is known whether we are to have
saloons or are not to have saloons
there must be no illegal liquor selling
The best people of both parties de
mand this. The vags, too, must DC
driven from the city and kept out O
the city.
Another thing that is demanded is
that the saloons shall be kept OF
South Market street. South Ottum
vans have the right to demand tina
the only main thoroughfare to thei
homes shall be cleaned up and KEEP
clean.
Ottumwa must not be permitted tt
take a step backward. There must b

lessness. The Republican voters Wh
cast their ballots for the Democrat
ticket and the large bulk Of the Den
ocratic voters were not making sue
an endorsement. The sentiment i
Ottumwa is overwhelmingly in favor
stricter enforcement of the law an
this sentiment should guide the az
ministration in its future actions.

The hard headedness of the Book OF
Proverbs is its most striking quality. II
treats of the common themes. Life as
alert men know 1t IL ratrrored in these
pages. The people we all meet walk
through the book. Here is the fiat
tcrcr, the guileful. polite man of the
world, with honeyed words meant
only to facilitate his own ends; here
are the sluggard and the fool the
Insurer and the boasteT: tho scarlet
woman and the drunkard; the courtier
and the slanderer; the Jealous person
and the envious; the faithful friend
who Is closer than brother, and ths
righteous man who Is as bold as q
lion. A veritable portrait gallery OF
human life Is the Book OF Proverbs,
and whose studies 1t well may find his
own image and the labeled likeness OF
all classes Of persons with whom he ~
likely to meet.
Dfe's greatest lessons have to be
learned III the school of experience;
but some books, OF which Proverbs Is
one, afford useful preparatory studies,
and sharpen ones understanding.
An interesting literary exercise is to
| write ones own notifications OF IA
miliar proverbs. For proverbs are only
half truths. They suffer all the limt--
| tations Of absolute statements, and
the people who are guided only by
| them are like men who travel by sign
posts, rather than by map or a
guide. Nevertheless, the study OF
proverbs, and revision of them, tends
to sharpen the wits and to give new
angles OF vision to the truth. In the
following paragraphs / have slightly
modified some of the familiar aphor-

sToRED-UP WISDOM FOR THE

Lessons for Me From the Book Of
Proverbs. Prov. 8: ~.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.


Proverbs are the small coins Of
truths currency. They are In form
to be possessed and used by the COM
mon people. They are useful for the
daily needs of life; and much comfort
and strength and safety may be pur-
chased by them.
The authorship Of a wise saying
matters little; even as it is of no i'm
portance to know the names of the
workmen who minted a coin.
Because human nature is essential
ly the same throughout all the ages
and in all lands the proverbs which
embody philosophy of conduct are
everywhere and always valuable.
The stored-up wisdom of the wise
is only useful to him who has the
wisdom to make right use Of 1t.
1t is easier to make proverb than
to cultivate a virtue.
rhe book of proverbs is not a mys-
teal, nor yet a distinctively spiritua
production. 1t is rather a compen-
dunn of the crystallized experience Of
shrewd men who lived in a world o.
material realities. The proverbs trea
of things as they are. They are world
| ly wisdom; Whitelaw Reid once called
them the best guides to a successful
career that any young man coult
study.
