on? I will close with best wishes to

Going to Buy an Auto?

If you are contemplating the pur-
chase of an automobile for use the
coming season, we urge you to care
fully consider the Maxwell line be-
fore deciding what machine to buy.
We believe there is no machine
manufactured in America that will
give such perfect satisfaction and
such absolute reliability as the Max
we'll. Nor is there a machine that
is so easy riding, so easy to operate,
or so economical in the use of gaso-
line, upkeep, repairs, etc., as the
Maxwell. For the same money we
do not think it can be excelled. Ask
any person who owns a Maxwell;
that is the best recommendation of
car. We have the exclusive agen-
cy for the Maxwell machines in Win
neshiek county, and will be pleased
to submit catalogue, prices, etc.
Don't put off buying until spring.
Then you may not be able to get
delivery of machine before late in
the summer. Come in and talk to
us about the Maxwell

other with suspicion, distrust and
jealousy, if not even feelings of a
more intense nature Here the right
to worship according to ones con-
science is so thoroughly established
that every one respects it. And with
that right comes a feeling of liberali-
ty toward other faiths, that even leads
men frequently to contribute literally
to churches with which they are not

all churches to do and as each is am

PEARY SHOULD RESPECT SnACK-
ELTON'S RIGHTS.

The announcement is made. per-
haps without direct authority from
him, that Peary will lead an Ameri-
can expedition having for it's pur-
pose the discovery of the South Pole.
The vessel used in the last two trips
tothe frozen north, the Roosevelt, viii
be used o nthe Antarctic trip and, so
the gossipers say, ex-Presfdent Roose-
yelt will be urged to make one of the
party
The British people are fitting out
an expedition for Lieut. ShackeIton.
the English explorer who returned
some months ago after going furthest
south and getting within compare
lively few miles of the South Pole, The
funds for the next dash have been
obtained by popular subscriptions.
1t would seem that under these cir
cumstances international amity, or
the good will that should exist between
explorers, would induce Peary and
his friends to hold off until after
Shackelton had made another trip and
exhausted his available resources IN
a final effort to plant the British flag
at the pole.
Peary was very indignant when he
learned that Dr. Cook was about to
encroach on his preserves, that the
Brooklyn man intended to avail HIM
self fthe work that Peary had done
before him and while Peary himself
was leading an expedition seek to
snatch the coveted prize from the old
explorer.
Might not Lieut.. Shackelton with
equal justice, make similar com
plants against Peary if that officer,
now that Shackelton has all of his
plans arranged, seeks to rush ahead
of him in an endeavor to be teh first
man at the South Pole
OF course it would be a great hon
or to have the American flag the first
planted at both poles, but if there
was anything just in Peary's original
grievance against Cook he is certainly
the last man to encourage an effort
to steal the prize from Shackelton af-
ter the efforts that heroic English
man has made in the past
Peary should be satisfied with the
honors he has won. If he believes
so strenuously in the ethics Of the ex-
plorers' profession now is the time for
him to show it by discountenancing
the efforts to start him off at the head
of an expedition intended to cut Shack
elton out of the glory of being the dis
coverer of the South pole

FAIRBANKS ATTITUDE AT ROME,

The general American public will
sustain former vice-President Fair
banks nthe position he took when in
Rome the other day in refusing to
CANCEL an engagement to address the
Methodist congregation there as the
price of his being accorded a recep-
ton by the Pope. If he had paid the
price he would unquestoinabIy have
injured himself greatly in the estima-
ton of his fellow-American citizens.
This is a great Protestant nation.
Of its ninety millions or more Of peo-
pie but less than 100000 are pro-
fessedly Catholics But all dwell to-
gether in Christian harmony, with an
absence of the bitterness of church
differences that were once known, and
which still appear to exist abroad. The
former vice-presidenC is a leading
member Of the Methodist church. It
was but natural that on his visit to
the capital of Italy he should be re-
quested to and accept an invitation to
speak before the church of his faith
there. Having accepted such an invi-
tation his self respect, as well as his
religious beliefs, compelled him to ad-
here to it. Like many other protes-
tants visiting that city he desired 10
show his respect for the Pope as the
head Of a great Christian faith. But
to have deliberately turned his back
on those Of his own church in order
to secure such a privilege would have
stamped him as unworthy of respect
himself. The position the former vice
president took must win commenda-
ton from all Americans, even as all
will regret that he should have mad
yertently been placed in such an awk-
ward position.
In his address before the Methodist
congregation Mr.. Fairbanks gave ex-
preston to some sentiments that tell
conciseIy the genuine American spirit
in religious matters. Said he:
II is Impossible 10 emphasize 100
strongly the good work the Christian
church is doing in all lands and
amongst all nationalties. 1t is graft
flying that the American churches
established in all countries are assert
ing wider influence today than ever
in their history.
All Christian churches are worthy
Of support. They above all should be
inspired by a generous tolerant spirit
towards each other. Nothing is more
unseemly than the narrow jealousies
which they occasionally manifest to-
wards each other. There is room for
all. Cease the narrow UNCONVENTIONAL
wars and direct your energies toward
the common enemy. Let the Catholics
and the Protestants Of all denomina-
tions vie in carrying forward the work
Of the Master, which is worthy of the
best in them all"
1t is probably difficult for men
living abroad to understand the gem
uine good feeling that exists in this
country between the members Of
churches that in other lands eye each

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH SA-
VANNAH!

t now looks very much as if Savan-
nah would lose two great attractions
this summer The outlook is that it
will have no hotel on Tybee island to
entice visitors to that delightful re-
sort, and in the city it will have no
base ball park where visitors and
home folks can enjoy the great Ameri-
can game.
Think of city of $4,000 people,
with great wealth, a commerce that
puts it first among South Atlantic
ports, that is unable to raise money
enough, apparently to put up a first
class hotel at a seaside island that
gives it a peculiarly pre-eminent po-
sition in this section as a summer re-
sort.
If Atlanta had Tybee island within
the same convenient reach that Sa-
vannah has it would have not one but
a half dozen good hotels, it would ad-
vertise the place extensively, and It
would do business there on a gFgn
scale. That would be the resu
Atlanta spirit in practt6 Yrs. u
operation. What a pity that Savan-
nah, with such an opportunity, doesn t
imbibe some Of the Atlanta spirit and
apply it to Tybee island.
And when it comes to base ball,
what is to be thought of a city of the
importance. and size of Savannah that
seems to be willing to sit with folded
hands and do without a base ball park
and the sport that above all else ap-
peals tothe American people? Isn't
it a reflection nthe spirit of the
city that no showing that the census
may make, no matter how flattering.
can wipe out?
Savannah ought to really feel asham
ed of itself and get up stir at once
about the hotel and the ball park. 1t
is getting rather late in the season for
the former and if it waits much long
er it will be too late for the latter.
And if it falls down on both there
will be a great maqaeReople through
out Georgia askingS tfpselves the
question, What on eaTts,2 he matter
with old Savannah"

NO PLACE FOR THE DRINKING
MAN.

NO PLACE FOR THE DRINKING
MAN.
A man that drinks is not a good
ball player. He may play ninety-nine
games almost perfectly, but on the one
hundTedth he is liable to drop down
and make a fizzle of many good trials
l shall, therefore, demand that all of
my men abstain fully from the use of
liquor, and if any of them do drink
they will be suspended Manager
Griffin, Of Cincinnati Base Ball Club.
The requirements Of modern bust
ness and modern sports are such that
there is no place for the drinking man
There was a time when man could
drink, sometimes drink heavily, and
hold responsible positions. Employers
expected such things, could not see
their way to do other wise than retain
such men in their service if they
were otherwise qualified, and while
there were complaints no stringent
regulations were enforced against the
drinking employee
But that time has passed into his
tory. Today no employer will en-
trust a responsible position to man
who drinks to any extent, and III
many services there is no employ
ment for the man who drinks at all.
The rules regulating the use Of in
toxicants are made more and more
stringent and public opinion is sus-
tanning them. At first the railroads
took the matter up, and the great sys-
TENS began to discharge any train
hand who was found under the
influence Of whiskey when on duty
Then came rules prohibiting drinking
while in the actual service of the
company, And finally we find the
orders prohibiting the employment OF
men who drink at all
Banks, large mercantile establish
ments, great manufacturing indus
tries, all are gradually Hing into
line against the drinking man. The
door Of employment is being slowly
but surely closed against the man
whose breath tells the story of in
toXicants consumed. The stress Of
modern business life is such that en-
DloyeFs feel the absolute necessity of
having men at work whose nerve are
never unstrung by liquors. Better a
less brilliant man, better one not
quite SO capable, but who is not If
fected by the drink habit and who can
be relied upon day after day to give
faithful service. That is the tenor
with which the great employers Of
the land speak.
1t has not been many years back
when base ball professionals were
more or 4ess drinking crowd. It was
esteemed necessary for a man to
drink to be a genuine sportsman. But
base ball playing has been reduced 10
an exact science, it has been develop
ed into a great commercial business
with millions of dollars invested in
plants and p9tyers. And now the
edicit is going forth that no drinkers
need apply
1t is these things that are making
the American people a sober nation
and not the prohibitory law. And this
spirit Of opposition on the part of
employers to the man who drinks is
growing more intense. It is a wise
young man who in beginning his bus
mess career realizes that the senti-
ment has set in strongly against the
drinking man and determines not to
hamper his progress by a habit that
means destruction to his business
chances as well as untold physical ills
to himself later in life.

"CHRIST CRUCdFIED."
ella Wheeler Wilcox in Everybody's
MagaZine.)

ella Wheeler Wilcox in Everybody's
Magazine.)
Now ere | slept, my prayer had been
that l might see my way
To do the will of Christ, our Lord and
master, day by day;
And with this prayer upon my lips,
knew not that | dreamed,
But suddenly the world of night a
pandemOnium seemed.
From forest, and from slaughter
house, from bull ring, and from
stall,
There rose an anguish cry Of pain, a
loud, appealing call;
AS mantle dumb beasts next of kin
with gun, and whip, and knife,
Went misunderstanding through the
earth, bloOd-bent making life.
From trap, and cage, and house, and
zoo, and street, that awful strain
Of tortured creatures rose and swelled
the orchestra of pain.
And then methOught the gentle Christ
appeared to me, and spoke
y called you, but you answered not"
and in my fear l woke.
Then next l heard the roar of mills;
and moving through the noise,
Like phantOms in an underworld
were little girls and boys.
Their backs were bent, their brows
were pale, their eyes were sad
and old;
But by the labor of their hands greed
added gold to gold.
Again the Presence and the Voice:
Behold the crimes I see,
AS ye have done it unto these, SO
have ye done to me-
Now when l woke, the air was rife
with that sweet, rhythmic din
Which tells the world that Christ has
come to save mankind from sin.
And through the open door Of church
and temple passed a thrOng,
To worship Him with Bonded knee,
with sermon, and with song.
But over all heard the cry Of hunted,
mangled things;
Those creatures which are part of
God though they have hoofs and
wings
1 saw in mill, and mine, and shop,
The little slaves Of greed;
heard the strife of race with race,
All sprung from one GOd-seed.
And then l bowed my head with
shame, and in cOntritiOn cried
"Lo, after nineteen hundred years,
Christ still is Crucifed."
