Memorial Sunday services In the
M. e. church were well attended. The
sermon by Rev. B. H. Hobbs was an
excellent one. He opened with a
recital Of Gods interest in the op-
pressed, hearing the call of Israel.
Gods hand In the formation of a
government was shown and a gle
ing tribute was paid to the veterans
and their work for the nation
Rev. G. H. Lucas gave the invoca-
ton, Rev. 9. A. Cole read the Scrip
ture lesson, Rev. w. H. Schrock made
the prayer and Rev. F. s. Altman pro-
nounced the benediction. Good mu-
sic was furnished by the choir.
Memorial Day.
Despite the threatening weather
a large number went to the cemetery
Monday morning to decorate the
graves. The band played and motor
cars took the veterans to the ceme-
terry. AT the mound were usual cere-
monies. Paul Jolley recited the
Gettysburg address.
In the afternoon the Methodist
church was filled to hear the Memoir

do much for the intellectual life, but
the contention herein is that little ex-
hibits of industrial crude and finished
products, which could be passed around
from school to school, would do more
to fit boys for wage earning, and this
is what industrial education proposes
to do for boys.
No amount of argument can dis
prove the facts of evolution which
show the dependence of sound mind
upon a sound body, and We have accu-
mulated statistics enough during fifty

GOOD HORSES PAY.

NObetter illustration of the truth in
the statement recently made by the
Gazette to the effect that this is in no
sense a horseless age could he made
than the demonstration at the weekly
horse sales on the South st. Joseph
market. Last Friday one team Of
dapple grays sold for s2,O25. The
horses weighed over 1000 pounds
each and were we'll matched. They
were bred by a Kansas farmer and
were purchased by Crouch 4 Son of
Lafayette, Ind, who will use them
this fall for show purposes. One
breeder consigned two car loads to the
sale last Friday and the entire lot went
at high prices and were snapped up
quickly. They averaged s27O head.
There was a good crowd Of buyers at
the sale and the bidding was spirited,
The Columbus journal. (Columbus, Neb.) 1874-1911, 1910-04-13

demonstrating that there is an active
demand for good draft horses.
The idea that seems to prevail
among some that this is horeeless age
Is shown to be an erroneous one every
time horse sale is held. There is .
constantly growing demand for heavy
draft horses, and the breeder who gives
attention to the quality of his stock is
certain to command high prices. The
local live stock interests have given
considerable attention to the matter of
building up horse market here and
are beginning to see their reward.
Every Friday brings better horses and
q larger number of buyers. Mr.. Louis
Swift takes q great personal interest in
the horse market and wants to make
it one of the features Of South St.
Joseph. Such prices as were paid
Friday ought to stimulate the farmers
in this section Of the country to join
hands with him in building up here the
best horse market on the Missouri
river.-St. Joseph Gazette.

MENACE TO The PRESS.

Senator Cummins, of Iowa, has in.
troduced to the senate an apparently
innocent bill, nominally to punish of.
tenders again the postal laws which
can become and is likely to become a
menace to the press of the country, as
it gives the federal government the
right to hale editors to any part of the
country to be tried for libel as we'll as
for alleged violation ofthe postal laws.
Senator Cummins was probably in.
nOcent of the menace contained in this
statute and believed that he was only
protecting the posto!fice. 1t may be
said, in this connection, however, that
the post Office authorities have all the
protection they need, have been given
as much power as they ought to have.
Many cases of arbitrary and autocratic
action on their part have recently been
brought 20 light-cases where the az
grieyed parties have had no chance or
opportunity to secure relief, where an
excathedra order from the postoffice
department shutting a publication, a
newspaper or magazine out Of the mails
meant ruin, and where the relief from
the order is difficult to obtain expensive
and slow. Public opinion, We feel con-
fident, will not tolerate any further ex-
tension of this irresponsible power of
the postoffice department, even if the
Cummins law was what it is claimed to
be, and caly authorized the postofiice
to take editors to trial in any state or
county in the union that suited its con.
venience. Orleans Times Demo.

THE REFORMING TEMPERA-
MENT.

Andrew Carnegie, who is good deal
of a philosopher in spots, is quoted as
the characterizing Clifford Pinchot in
an interview at Santa Barbara, Cal.
"He is we'll meaning. Jealous, self sac
refcing-a fine type. We need more
like him, but he is inclined to walk so
straight sometimes as to lean over
backward. He does not seem to have
much of the give.and.take." In other
words, Mr.. Pinchot has the faults of
his virtues. The intense reformer,
bent ON achieving good ends in his own
way, too often insists that all men
shall walk his narrow path, and that
those who diverge even slightly as to
methods, but are sound on the main
issue, are enemies of the cause and to
be assailed with all possible vigor as
such. The reforming temperament is
often the berating one, and thereby in.
justice comes about, and that with the
best intentions in the world. The yea.
lot who will have no methods of reach.
ing a given point save his own is a
difficult person to work with, day in
and day out. He is great factor in
the worlds progress, We could not do
without him, but as yoke-fellow he is
not the best at all times. When Pres.
ident Taft pleaded with my Dear
Clifford" not to make his own reten-
ton in the service impossible, the point
was we'll illustrated. The country has
plenty of need for Mr.. Pinchot, but he
does not seem to have much of the
"give-and-take," as Mr.. Carnegie puts
it.-Springfeld Republican.

The Actors Meeting With Gladstone
Outside the Thsatsr.
John Hare. the eminent English
actor-manager. said that the most de-
lightful compliment he ever received
was from MIR. Gladstone. 1t was q
double ended compliment: ~n,cnever
way you took It 1t was satisfactory.
Mr.. Hare carmel fame playing old
mems parts. his character as Mr.. Cold
by in "A Pair Of Spectacles" being a
good example. Added to this was a
horror Of having his picture taken
Mr.. Gladstone had never seen a pic
ture Of the actor, but he knew him
well behind the scenes as we'll as be-
fore the footlights. The premier's ia
vorite play was "A Pair Of Specta-
cles." and he always went behind the
scenes to chat awhile with the actor.
The really old man and the made up
old man would sit there and talk In
the most delightful way for an hour
after the show.
One day the Earl Of Rosebery had
Mr.. Gladstone to dinner. and he also
invited his friend John Hare. The
actor came in smooth shaved, looking
about thirty-flve. He was presented
to Mr.. Gladstone, and the prime min
lister shook his hand most cordially
and said:
MY dear sir, I am very, very glad
to meet you. I know your father very,
very well. Splendid actor! Fine old
man,
It took the whole evening for the
earl and Mr.. Hare to convince him
that this son was really the father.

ONE MAN AND ANOTHER.

The Roosevelt idolaters are prepar-

run for all the Offices. They expect
him to make all the speeches. He
must write all the platf,rms and make
all the issues. He must be the prin.

must be no other leader before him.

to equalize political strength and op-
portunity. For many years now de-

INDUSTRIALISM NEEDED AS
TEACHER.

Industrial education promises better
living, and improved chances of earn
ing a living, through employment in
manufacturing industries mostly, for.
although the land turns out raw mate
rails from mine, farm and forest, and
transportation and commerce relate to
both finished and unfinished products,
yet complete industrial activity is de-
pendent upon factories in operation, so
that it is really the factory which
opens or closes the circuit of modern
business.
Small, exchangeable travelling ex-
hibits, with simple descriptive matter,
are the elements of a system proposed,
such as can be fitted up at light ex-
pense by specific industries, as required,
to show what each kind of factory
needs, and to direct teachers and stu.
