POLITICAL METHODS
URGED IN CHURCHES
Workers In Sunday-SchoolS Bidden
To Study Them.

In the Lutheran Church at Deer Park
Sunday, Superintendent George H.
Mock of the Maryland Evangeli-tic As
ISOLATION, delivered an address on Sun
day-school work. Among other things,
he said:
"A political campaign is on US, and
we have excellent opportunities to watch
the methods Of politicians, and as Sun
day-school workers we can DO so with
profit. The master said: The children
Of this world are in their generation
wiser than the children of light. We
do not desire to be understood that
all politicians are altogether children
of this worId'-that is, self-seekers
and corrupt manipulators. Not at all.
There are men whose political activ-
tiles are the result Of deep interest
in their county, State or country; but
they are, I regret to say, in the mi
nority.
But from the politicians as a class
we can learn some lessons, and they are
these:
/ First They are deeply interested
and intensely DESTROYS Of success.
Second They keep themselves in
formed about political matters; they
read and think and plan much.
Third They are energetic and per
severing, and make any sacrifice to Sc
cure influence or votes. They don t
mind spending money to get results.
'Fourth-They believe in personal
effort and DO not rely altogether on
pubic meetings and other demonstra-
tons, but go into the homes, the work
shops, into the fields, and hail men on
the streets or public roads to talk up
the issues Of the campaign.
IF we employed like methods as Sun
day school workers the work in this
State would not be in its present un-
satisfactory condition. If the Bible is
worth as much as we claim, let US teach
its truths diligently to the children, not
forgetting to study 1t ourselves.
''If character is worth as much as we
claim, let US seek prayerfuliy to mold
characters Of strength and beauty in
our children, that our sons may be as
plants glown up in their youth; that
our daughters may be as cornerstones,
polished after the similitude of pal
ace If a soul is worth as much as we
claim, let US be wise to win it for God
and Heaven"

A Letter From Minnesota.

The following letter from Mr.. c. E.
EIlithorp, of Bittinger, who is on an
extended visit to friends and relatives
in Minnesota, was received at this Of
fee last Thursday morning, too late for
publication in last weeks REPUBLICAN,:
To the Editor of The Republican,:
| am still right side up with care; was
too tired doing nothing to write last
week. 1t is strange how lazy one gets
when they have nothing to do, especi-
ally when one is so inclined.
The weather has been very hot and
dry here, with no rain to speak of since
We came here. The thermometer stands
from 80 to 100 in the shade, but this
evening it is raining. Corn and late
potatoes needed the rain very bad.
Some of the corn was driving up. The
dust on the roads has been fearful and
it almost choked one and was as dirty
as If we were in coal mine.
Barley is all cut and most of it stack
ed.
Dat harvest is in full blast and the
crop is a good one, Flax is ready to
cut
The old lady of whom | spoke in my
former letter was buried on July 9th.
Peace to her ashes. We have been en-
joying some fine automobile rides with
one of my cousins. The laws are very
strict here on autos. One day while
out in the auto we saw a buggy COM
ing and when a long distance off the
old man gave US the signal to stop
which we did; the old gentleman got
out and led the horse past US and as The
horse paid no attention my cousin re-
marked to him: Your horse doesn't
seem to be much afraid "Oh, no."
replied the old gentleman, at ism the
horse, it's the old woman that is
afraid" c. E. E.

The water rate committee OF the
city council held meeting this week
to consider further the matter in
hand. Mayor Parsons had been in
vited to attend the meeting and pre-
sent any suggestions he might have
in line with the committees work.
His Honor was present and suggested
among other things that certain i'm
3rovements in the water works plant,
looking to a reduction In fire insur-
ahce rates be included in the commit

that any report 1t might make would
receive his approval.

Cairo, H., Nov 10th, 1909
Y. r. Greaney, Esq, Chairman
Special Committee on Water
Rates
Dear Sir: Replying to your com.
nunication of Nov. 8, 1909, in answer
10 the request of the Cairo iTater
Company for a hearing before your
committee, this company begs leave
20 say. that it, il all fairness, ex-
Q ted a full and proper hearing to
5e granted itsuch as is usual and
customary in all legislative and gov.
arnmental Investigations, viz: the
light and privileg. of appearing be-
ore the committee in person by it's
officers and agentG and submit to the
committee not only schedules and
papers with explanatory evidence, but
ave fair and bonafide hearing
thereon. The conditions and require,
,nents of your committee that the
Water Company shall simply file with
our committee It's prepared state
nent of tabrlated water rates and
explanations in writing by this even.
ng amounts practically to a denial OF
that proper hearing it believes it is
untitled to and has a right to expect.
The statement of tabulated water
rates prepared for the company by
experts in the east and ordered to
be sent to Cairo by express has not
Het arrived so as to be filed with your
committee; nor has it been possible
at all within the brief time allowed
by your committee to comply with
our extraordinary and Unprecedented
request to prepare and file the COM
pany's explanations in writing-a diff
ficult and hurdensome task and a
very inadequate way especially with
out hearing thereon, of doing full
Justice to the subject

In commenting on the letter the
members expressed surprise that the
company did not have the schedule
referred to as, in the previous letter.
the company stated that it had re-
"eived this schedule and asked to be
permitted to present it, The concen,
gus of opinion was that the request TO
present explanations, etc, in writins
was not unreasonable.
