Yet for loves sake l rather beseech
thee.-Philemon is.
And these things give in charge, that
they may be blameless.-I. Timothy v, 7.
For every house is builded by some
man; but he that built all things is God
Hebrews iii, 4.
And being fully persuaded that, what
he had promised, he was able also to
perform.-Romans iv, 81.
This witness is true, Wherefore rebuke
them sharply, that they may be sound
in the faith.-Titus i, Is.
And let ours also learn to maintain
good works for necessary uses, that they
be not unfruitful. iii IA.
Some mems sins are open beforehand,
going before to judgment; and some
men they follow after.--I. Timothy v, "a.
But if any provide not for his own,
and pecially not for his own house, he
hath denied the faith and is worse than
an infidel.-I. Timothy v, s.
Keep that which is committed to thy
trust, avoiding profane and vain bah
blings, and oppositions of science falsely
SO called. Timothy vi, 20.
Let such one think this, that, such
as we are in word by letters when we are
absent, such wi live be also in deed when
we are present.-II. Chronicles K, II.
Thou hast loved Righteousness, and
hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy
God hath anointed thee with the oil of
gladness above thy follows. Hebrews
i, 8.
o Lord, thou art my God; l will exalt
thee, l will praise thy name; for thou
hast done wonderful things; thy counsels

But l rejoiced in the Lord greatly,
that now at the last your care OF me hath

their counsel from the Lord, and their
works are in the dark, and they say,
Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?-
Isaiah xxx, Is.
But avoid foolish questions, and gen.
ealogies, and contentious, and strivings
about the law; for they are improbable
and vain. A man that is an heretick
after the first and second admonition re-
ject; knowing that he that is such is
subverted, and sinneth, being condemned
OF himself.-Titus iii, 8, 10, ii.
For we ourselves also were sometimes
foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving
divers lusts and pleasures, living in
malice and envy, hateful and hating one
another. But after that the kindness
and love at God our Saviour toward man
appeared, not oy words of righteousness
which We have done, but according to
his mercy he saved US, by the washing OF
regeneration and renewing of the Holy
Ghost; which he shed on US abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that
being justified by his grace, we should
be made heirs according to the hope Of
eternal life.-Titus iii, 81.

The industrieus Ant.
(New York Tribune).

\ANSW OcK If1OONe).
Dr. Percy L. Jones, an American
army surgeon stationed in the Philip
pines, has discovered that a certain
species Of ants there, as yet unclassi-
fed by entomologists, feed by prefer
ence on the larvae of nies. its industry
in the storage OF this form Of food be-
ing SO great that wherever it is found
flies are comparatively scarce. Nor
do the potentially useful gastronomi-
cal preferences Of this species stop
here. for DR.. Jones further reports
that it is also the enemy. or the lover.
according to the point Of view, OF an
mother worldwide insect plague, eu-
phemistically known In England as
Norfolk Howards," and entomology
cally as cimex lectularius
This fly killing ant may prove to be
OF great service to mankind as q sani-
tary agent, and yet, as DR.. Jones re-
minds US. experience has shown that
the destructive propensities of such
pest hunters are not always strictly
confined to the pests themselves. There
is the sparrow. for instance. He there
fore advises that the other habits of
the creature be studied closely before
an attempt is made to introduce it in

wood like other tropical insects
While awaiting further reports as to
the advisability of it's free introduction
here and elsewhere as a fly chaser.
some prudent way might be found of
utilizing this ants other taste. 1t
might be domesticated. trained to live
in small boxes, for instance, and made
part OF the outfit Of every traveller,
who could turn It loose a. night and
whistle it back to its box in the morn

ABURiiNsIoN LINE UP.


The Burlington Commercial EN-
change seems to have been worked by
the saloons into placing the city and
citizens of Burlington in the position OF
defending the saloons against &gal
prosecution for Illegal Gales and acts
This exchange passed the following
resolution the other day;
The Commercial Exchange notes
with regret the recent action Of Ger
tain non-residents of our city in their
efforts to again engage our town and
certain interests in legal warfare
From all the evidence atainable this
exchange is confident that the men en-
gagged in the beer traffic in Burlington
make every effort TO live up 10 the re-
quiremenrs OF the mulct law, and this
body feels that the efforts OF these
non-interested men TO empty a large
number of our business houses, to
throw al least 800 men out of the
means Of livelihood and 10 destroy
an annual revenue OF our city and
county treasurer Of more than $4,000
are not in the interest of real temper
anca and are threatening to our pros
perity and the administration of JUS
rice'
Whatever may be said justly or I'M
justly OF the Anti Saloon League-and
it has earned praise and deserved much
adverse crtticism-the exchange has
got IN wrong with its argument and n,
its anxiety 10 defend the saloons. Its
resolution avoids mention Of saloons
but those men engaged in the beer
traffic who are 50 striving 20 live up to
the ,nuict probably refers to the saloon
men. tho it seems 10 knock he drug
stores. The thing the resolution bears
hardest on is the possibility that 300
men, who are engaged in dishing out
booze TO city which contains about
5000 or 5000 men over y years of age,
might have 70 find other employment
and the city lose $4,000 year revenue
from the saloons, while the landlord
would feel the loss of the double rent
a saloon man is held Up for. There is
not a word Of the superiority Of law
over eXpediency ard cash profits, not a
word Of the moral aspect OF the case.
Just plain defense of the saloon as a
revenue producer for the city. the sa
loon and the landlord. The ST. Louis
Commercial Exchange absolutely re-
fused to DO for s.. Louis brewers and
saloons what the Burlington outfit
rushed TO ompLish-put the business
interests Of Burlington into the saloon
class.
The Anti-salocn League may attend
to its own defense against accusation
Of over enthusiasm or legalized black
mail. The Burlington exchange. if i,
will study its own action, may get a
hint on the reason Burlington loses in
stead of gaining population in decade
which has given growth 70 nearly every
other town in the United States.

AS to the opposition to these candi.
dates, there is some harmony Of ac-
ton; but it originates from different
sources. Cosson Is assailed by all OF
the anti-temperance forces that are vet
politically to be counted in the state.
and the reason therefor Is that m a
state senator and as special counsel
in the office Of the attorney general he
has been very conspicuous as a pro.
moter Of measures for the enforcement
Of the general policy Of the state
against the sale OF intoxicating LIQUORS.
The opposition which Mr.. Cosson has
thus invited and fairly earned IL very
much 20 his credit, and while the fact
that 1t will cut down his majority II

tically joins the Iowa City Republican

paper Is much exercised over the pack
ing industry in Iowa and hinrs that

incidentally and as voting the ticket.
the Cedar Rapids paper repudistes the
republican platform ard the men who
made It.
Mr. Thorne-the object Of very de-
termined attack by the railroad in
Offences. He is pictured by them as
a dangerous man. The cry of danger
to packing houses is part Of the strat-
egg Of the assault. The suits in which
he has been engaged as attorney for
the meat producers are cited as testi-
Tying to his animosity toward railroad DIS
and he Is accused of desiring to destroy
iowa packing houses DV towering thru
rates to such a degree that the Iowa
plants can not compete with the large
packing centers.
M. Thorne as attorney for the meat
producers has done his duty to his
clients, something very much to his
credit. He has also made the eoualiz-
ing Of railroad rates a labor Of public
service. He has won suit after suit
before the interstate commission, but
the Iowa packers who pack hogs all
most exclusively, have not been hurt
by any changes ordered by the com
mission. Iowa feeders are feeding
cattle in transit Iowa corn and bringing
the price Of the gain Of the western
cattle and sheep from Chicago back to
Iowa because Thornc succeeded in
forcing for Iowa the privileges
Nebraska had enjoyed for years. Cattle

mand more than the shipping public

The state prohibition league has

capital against the purposes the league
has in mind. Doubtless the Burlington
saloonkeepers. not having felt the rig

that they believe. that telling sufHces
The saloon men of Burlington and
Sioux City have the same idea and
doubtless the saloon men all over the
state have it, This indicates that the
rational and state brewers associations
got wrong on this matter first.
AS indicating the confusion of opin-
ion on this matter the saloon men OF
Sioux City are unanimous in their sup
port of Representative Harding and
equally unanimous in their horror of
and opposition to "the Cosson law
Yet Mr.. Harding voted for the Cosson
law
The saloon men themselves are not
wholly TO blame for the confusion Mr.
Harding is being written up turnout
the senate as fierce anti-prohibition-
list and this carries the presumption to
the people intended to be influenced by
such writing. that he was also fiercely
opposed to the Cosson law. What
rea son Is there to believe that the pro-
htbitionists are sending out these re-
ports Of hostility to Mr. Harding?
