A SUGGESTION.

Why would it not be we'll for the
commercial club to try the commits
sion form of government? At present
we have large number of standing
committees. The responsibility is
thus so divided that the chief duty of
the committee seems to be to stand. .
The commission form of government
is working satisfactorily in many
cities and the thought has suggested
itself that it might work as well in
an organization which has the inter
ests of the city at heart. Instead of
a number of large standing commit
tees why not have the club, or it's
president, appoint cabinet, each man
of which would have particular sub
ject in charge. Their actions would
of course be subject to the direction
of the club as whole, but they would
have more personal responsibility
than is now felt by any member of a
committee and we believe that bust
ness would be more promptly and eff.
ficiently cared for than at present. At
Cedar Rapids members of the CONNER
cial club who do not attend committee
meetings and do the work for which
they were appointed, are subject to
fine, not only this, but the fines are
imposed and collected.

THE LESSER EVIL.

We believe that it is best that the
reciprocity treaty with Canada should
be ratified. We are still unconvinced
that it would be good thing for Iowa
or for the farming interests of the
north We believe, however, that the
agitation for lower duties has made
such an impression upon the people
that the only way to cure them is to
give them a dose of the medicine for
which they are crying. Canadian free
trade would be the least harmful OF
any free trade which we might adopt.
If it is not adopted, the free trade
theorists can go ahead with their gilt
tering promises and sophistries, If it
is adopted, we believe that it will
forestali something worse. The reci-
procity treaty was arranged in good
faith and in response to a popular de-
mand fomented by the democrats, the
insurgents and the laboring classes of
the east This popular clamor rose
to such an extent that there was but
one thing for the president to do, and
that was to heed the apparent wishes
of majority of the people. If reci-
procity fails in the senate, the free
traders will be given free rein to draw
upon their Imagination as to the bene-
fits which might have arisen. If the
treaty is ratified, we believe the eff

best course to pursue. He urged his
soldiers and sailors to join the Good
TempEzr lodges and to call thing
of the past that good Germans must

The history of the two Jewish king
doms has been palmer than ever to
our minds. We saw the northern king
dom go deeper and deeper into sin
until in she fullness of time it was
wiped out We had impressed the old
lesson than course of defiance to God
will lead to but bitterness; and VICE.
The joy OF the inhabitants of Jerusa-
lem and vicinity when the Passover
was again observed, and there was a
general turning to God, made strong
impress on our minds. In our day
there is: joy when we do the things
which God commands, and the best
and wisest course is to make this our
regular habit of life.
OF course one of the IessonS Of the
past quarter came on Easter Sunday
and then we learned of the resurrec-
ton of Jesus; His triumph over death
which was a promise that We likewise
will rise triumphantly over physical
death and have blessed immortality.
Our attention was called to the
promise Of Jesus that He has now
gone to prepare place for us, and
will come again to get each one of
us and that we can live forever. This
was SO very Important.
The history lessons of the last quar-.
ter should cause us to read further
as to what the Jews were doing in the
long years previous to the coming of
Jesus. We know that this history
was written out so we could profit by
ne mistakes they made, and know
their rewards for right doing,

THE CONSERVATION OF TIME.

Time is the most perishable article
with which men have to deal. 1t cal
be made of vital Importance, it cal
be idled away, or it can be made worse
than useless. Play time is just az
important as work time. Idle time il
of no good to any one. DissipateC
time is the worst enemy of mankind
We often wonder how the city mar
can find so much time to play. Banks
the day, and after that the city takes
on general holiday appearance. The
golf links are filled, the ball parks are
crowded, and large percentage OF
the city is given over to play. The
solution of this is, that when city
man works, he works. When he
reaches his Office at eight or nine OF
ten o'clock, the work of the day is
before him. He makes use of every
convenience that will save time and
labor. The telephone, the telegraph
the stenographer, the messenger, are
all at hand. Every moment is made tc
count. The man works steadily unit
the close of his business day, with but
a slight intermission for lunch. In
this way he has accomplished more
in the six or eight hours of concen.
trated effort than is accomplished by
the easy-going villager in long
drawn out and tiresome day when
business seems to have no end. One
does not have to seek far to find
capable men who are thus wasting
hours of valuable time. Time which
might be much better given to real
exercise and play than spent in dwad-
ling. If man would use time card
for week and run under schedule,
he would be surprised to find how
much could be accomplished and that
he could do great deal more work
than he does, or that he would have
more time for relaxation and recuper-
alton. This is just suggestion to
some of our tired and overheated bus
mess and professional men and if
they will take it seriously, they will
be delighted with the result. We know
some men in Denison who have lost
hours of time by being prompt. If
a meeting is called at 1880 it frequent
ly does not get down to business be-
fore nine O'Clock, and the man who
has been chump enough to be on time
is punished. Let us all agree that
1870 means $3.50 or else let us all
agree to try to keep our engagements
on time.

June 25- Quarterly Review Lesson.
The quarterly review brings to mind
very many things when one recalls
the impressions gained from the les
sons of the last quarter. For instance
we studied about the prophet Elisha
and the wonderful things he did as the
spokesman of Jehovah on earth He
healed the leper Naaman and the de-
tails once understood will never be
forgotten He showed mercy to the
enemies OF his country who surround
ed the town he was living in at night
intent on taking his life. Against the
wishes of the king, the soldiers were
fed and told to go peacefully to their
homes. The mercy and forgiveness
which afterwards shone out SD Won
derfully in the teachings OF Jesus
We're shown forth by Elisha some
eight hundred years before the birth
of the wonderful teacher.
The history of Jonah was brought
before us. From it we learned the
great lesson that we cannot escape
our duty to God by running away from
it; that His all-seeing eye is upon us.
We saw the willingness of Jonah to be
drowned, thus giving up his life. if by
so doing the balance OF the people on
the ship could be saved. We saw the
mercy of God in forgiving the inhabi-
tants of Nenevah when they believed
the message of Jonah. and repented of
their wrong doings. On this was
based the lesson on missions.
The temperance lesson gave anoth-
er chance to talk over the evils of
liquor drinking and opportunity to
present the important duty of signing
the pledge and keeping it. Attention
was called in these notes to the stand
of the emperor of Germany, who after
years of experience in reputed
liquor drinking nation, gave his testi-

7AckLINe A BUZZ SAW.

Editor Dave Brant, of Iowa City, is
having a go with Governor CAROLS
buzz saw. We should think the ex-
periences of John Cownie and Bert
Keltz would have been sufficient warn,
ing that the governor is loaded. Brant
has crouch at Governor Carroll and
has had it for long time. 1t is not
founded on broad lines, but on per.
sonalities and our guess is that Brant
W. come out second best.
1t is very easy to make sensational
charges against prisons and pardon
boards, for very few people are &C
quainted with the facts. Every man
interested in pardon thinks that his
case is matter for special consider
alton. When connected with the gov,
ernors Office years ago, we remember
that it was a matter for laughing COM
ment that every letter of recommen-
dation commenced by stating that the
writer was opposed to the use Of the
pardoning power on general princi-
pies, but that this was case of spec
ial Importance and merit.
Mr.. Brant is a man of strong con-
victions and of vitriolic pen. He
forms conclusions hastily and follows
them with intense energy. He is right
most of the time, but like the historic
little girl when he is bad, he is hor
rid"
Governor Carroll has given the state
a splendid business administration and
we have not doubt but that the facts
will refute Mr.. Brant's fantasies.

A Story of Daniel Drew.

When Sir Morton Peto visited this
country with a large assortment OF
railroad schemes in his head he gave
grand dinner, at which old Daniel
Drew was present. When the COM
pany were in good humor Sir Morton
developed his plans in detail and did
it very plausibly. Drew listened to the
end and then, turning to the gentle
man sitting next to him, remarked,

things" That ended it.

to be between Canadian reciprocity

will destroy the prosperity of the
