Confucianism rallied, in spite OF its

Dear "Birdseye"-It is some fifteen
years or more since I first began to
pick up the T.-R. or its predecessor
and note items Of personal interest to
me from Grinnell as well as find other
things Of interest there. AS the years
passed on I became more and more in
terested in certain things in the paper
until one day graphic account OF a
days experience of a boy fishing the
trout brook accompanied by his father
and having a well filed lunch basket
whose contents had the odor and taste
Of mother love, and being able to
ride TO the fishing grounds and back in
the one-horse wagon. met my eye.
That picture made me live over again
a rainy halliday Of trouting in the rain
beneath the dripping alders, in the
gloom and with the bitterness of dis
appointment in the loss of the largest
trout that has ever come to my hook
and I tried to match your picture. only

the high lights I sent il to you ana

A CASE OF IDENTITY.
[Burt Monitor.l

Is Frank D. Jackson of the Taft
Club the same Jackson that foated
some Of those unsavory insurance
companies few years ago? We ask
this question simply as information
If it is the same Jackson who soaked
us for some of our hard earned money
when we were a boy working for a
dollar day we would make the sug-
gestion that President Taft give him a
place in his cabinet with such me. as
Ballinger. If it is the same Jackson
of insurance fame, he and Ballinger
would make a prize winning pair.

sian. Of the Resurrection.
[Rev. w. A. Bartlett, D. d.

REV w. A. Bartlett, d. d.
This is the age OF challenge. We in
the church may rejoice in that as one
of the signs of the reserrucetion. The
religious question keeps alive; it will
not, can not die. In enters into the
commercial and journalistic life. The
last depression from orthodoxy is
cabled across seas as important news,
in spite of the fact that the same
things were stated centuries ago. Doc
trinal assertions and denfals today re-
veal, as they always have, that the hu-
man heart must have big themes to
satisfy it, and the old questions OF
Christ's time are the new questions OF
ours.
Another sign of the resurrection Is
in the Unborn longing for immortal
life. The very fear OF death often lies
in being blotted out Of existence. We
feel instinctively that human loves and
high aspirations which have but little
beginnings here, often thwarted and
half grown, must have their great full
fillment somewhere. We will not be-
lieve that all the genius, all the effort
Of this world are to be laid in the crave
as the final resting place. Even tho the
good work go on here, shall not the
soul and mind which originated All this
last longer than the invention It de-
vised?
Another mighty sign Of the reserrec-
ton is the unending fight against sin.
The followers of Jesus who are sincere
are never satisfied with present attain
ment any more than the artists or
musicians are satisfied that they have
achieved their bert. The very attacks
on Jesus Christ reveal that he - alive

SHE WAS CAREFUL.
[Alden Times,


One of the subjects up for discus
sion at an Alden woman's club meeting
the past winter was How to clean
rugs with gasoline. 1t was shown
that pounding rug shortens its life
and also the life Of the man who
pounds it, a germ having been discov-
cred that sometimes kills person
within two or three days after he has
pounded a rug. SO the gasoline meth
cd, ii was shown, has many adyan-
tages but a person must be careful in
using it not to let any gasoline be
spilled on the grass, as it will kill the
grass.
With all these instructions in mind,
and a sincere desire to lengthen the
life of her Administer, her husband
and the lawn. one of the club MEM
bers got her rug out on sunny spot
of the front yard Monday. She brought
along an old tin pie pan to set the
gasoline can on so that not a single
drop should strike the grass. Taen she
went at it. When there wasn't enough
gasoline she went back to the. house
and got the contents OF the stove
reservoir, and then sent down town for
two gallons more. She did 1t right.
But nobody told her the gasoline was
going right down thru the rugs onto
the grass The front lawn has a
square spot on it the shape of the din
ing room rug. long narrow spot the
shape of the dresser rug, some average
sized spots the shape of hall rugs and
a rag carpet spot the size of the thing
that lies on the back porch to wipe
garden rubbers on What is left Of he

Different Heavens.
I'M. NJ. Mangasarian.1

l.1. M. NduSdSdfldn.J
Every religion has its own picture OF
heaven. The Moslem heaven is a place
of eating and drinking and merry max
ing. The Buddhist nirvana is a state
OF perfect bliss. so perfect as to make
further existence unnecessary. The Old
Testament people had no definite con-
ception Of an after life. The christian
heaven 10 oriental in design and fur
nishings. 1t is an abode or a mansion
set in precious stones and brilhants.
It has streets and stairs Of gold. Its
gates are pearly and it's walls are OF
jasper. The early christians were He
brews and hoped to find in heaven the
gems and Jewels they priced on earth.
As the Teufonic nations looked to VAL
halila, with It's huge wine cups and
battlehelds, for their reward.
In reading these descriptions OF
Utopia in the clouds. we can see how
they originated. 1t is the disappoint-
ments Of the earthly life that turn our
thoughts toward heaven. II the flavor
of things lasted and the flowers Of earth
never faded and loves cup were ever
full to the brim-who would think OF
heaven? A rich man does not dream
Of banauets; it is the hungry man who
our knowledge of nature and increase
cur well being on earth, we shall think
less Of celestial abodes. The more mis-
cradle people are on earth. the more
readily they will believe in a better
country elsewhere. A man never cries
for help until he is in distress-he
never cries for death until he is in
pain.
OF all the views of heaven, 1t is diff
ficult to find one that is worth giving
up this life for. would rather sleep
forever or mingle again with the ele-
ments-be the sap in the tree, the petal
in the flower, the grass waving in the
green fields, the tints on the birds
wing the notes in the nightingale's
throat-than to be one Of those I'M
classifiable angels we read about in re-

GARST AND CARROLL.
rodehoIf ChvOpiplp

Does any one imagine that with
Warren Garst governor the railroads
would have dared to withhold cars from
shippers as they have done under Car
roll? When did Carroll show any in
terest in the treatment of the public by
the railroads? When shippers were
losing thousands daily last winter by
the refusal of the railroads to furnish
cars and engines Governor Carro1l-said
and did nothing. People recall what
Larrabee did when the railroads i'm
posed upon the public. They remem-
Der that Governor Cummins brought
both the railroads and the commission
ers to book when there was just COM
plant. They remember Warren Garsts
long and honorable legislative record as
consistent and influential supporter
Of reform legislation; his gallant bat
ties on the hustings when he defied and
defeated the emissaries of the railroads
who sought to retire him from the state
senate because he would not play the
role Of a Carroll; and they know that
had Garst been at the head of state
affairs during the past six months the
railroads would not have been per-
mitted to do as they pleased and the
railroad commission would not have
been allowed TO dishonor the state.
With q strong man in the governors
office, the railroad commissioners
would not have dared 70 betray the
Meat Producers Association.
What did Carroll do to aid the ship
pers in their fight for just rates before
the interstate commerce commission
Nothing Can any person quote a sim
gle word he uttered in favor OF a
square deal? No Did he express dis
approval Of the resolution secretly
adopted by the Iowa commission with
the object of defeating the shippers?
No
What, in Gods name, Is governor
for if his name and influence are not a.
the service Of the people who elected
him.
CAROLS conception OF a governor is
a man who must look wise, dodge con-
troversies, draw his salary and let his
wife attend to the reform business;
keep on the good side OF the railroads,
stand IN with the administration and
stand on the right side OF the family

The selection of Garst is wise
one says the Ocheydan Press. He has
ever been a staunch supporter of pro-
gressive repuhlicanisn and can be de-
pended upon to stand with Cumm;ns
and Dolliver for the advancement of
progressive principles. The republic
cans of the state can not consistently
endorse its senator's and turn the gov
ernorship over to the standpatters. Nor
will they do 1t. Garst will be Iowa's
