The Bulletin doesu't WilknlIy d1stort facts and figures, although its oppon- ents constantly try to impress the people that it does
 The Cedar Rapids Iowa, optindus of March 25, 1S10,. says with reference to the report of Commissioned Alli- son:
 .-The ,ss.5oo recelvsd by the coun- cil for the old city hall site does not appear in MT. AHison's report, nor in the monthly reports of the council, during the months that the $66, 800 was paid. The failure to so appear is q clear. violation of the law.'
 And then it chronicles ''the stupen- d61s evaporation of $7s,564.4I' of tho peoples money
 sThe Bulletin has six letters from Cedar Rapids, representing both sides.
 To The Bulletins question as to whether the commission form of gov- ernnnent commands the service of tho best men. the answers were as fol- lows:
 Not in this city!"
 Possibly not!''
 "rhis is one of the greatest bene- fits"
 4NOt d6 = AuASs
 "Yes''
 ''No."
 In reply to The Bulletins question whether members of the council give their whole time to the duties of. of flee, we get these replies: J Required to, but do not"
 One of them gives all his time the others have business of their own"
 "An that is needed"
 Devote all their time to city busi- ness" No: for you cannot expect busi- ness men to get along on such sala- ries"
 practically so."
 The editor of the Cedar Rapids Op- timus says:
 'If you could always be sure of get ting just the right kind of men to i'll the various positions, there would not be so much objection to the system; but if you happen to have a bad lot their opportunities for mischief are infinitely greater than under the old system
 The Bulletin had no personal inter- est in. the writers of it's letters, and had no knowledge of them when ii sent to them a list of inquiries.
 1These quoted comments may en- tighten even the gentleman who wrote the treasurer of Cedar Rapids to get partisan statement of the case, for an officer elect or employe Is a party fin interest, of course. Is it possible the city treasurer is not aware of the open disputes and various opinions in his own town?

AN IDLER

gest mistakes we make, the ones which we rue for manysa day, arise from this inability to take the larger look at men, movements and institutions They are all faulty, even the highest of them, the college and the church, because they are of human origin. But they are not faulty from center to cur- conference.

 According to western sage we are all corners and goers; or, in other words, life is just right up hill and then down. We are corners till we get to the top of the hill, and goers when we start down into the valley toward the sunset; but it is up to every one of us to see how he comes and how he goes. It seems to me as if had known lives raore like a ioco- motive on a level track which just struck high rate of speed and kept it up until the energy was spent. Life at best is learning to so live here that you will be useful to others; and the best use to others is what brings about heavenly conditions within and with out. It has been well said that Man goes down in self and goes up in God" Among the things which can not be bought is a merry heart, a clear conscience and the divine bless jngs which go with both.

 ity does not amount to much because we happen to know someone who profcsses to be a Christian and who of the Christian virtues? You saw him one day when his temper had gotten the mastery of him, and, ilogi- cal man that you are, you concluded that his religion was of no earthly value to him. An, but you should have seen him the next day when he won out. and the day after that when he sent a load of coal to a poor wtd- ow's home.
 Or, granted, for the sale of argu ment, that the man you condemn Is hypocrite, why should you judge re- ligion by him? Why pick out a poor, weak, black sheep of the fold, forgett- ting all about the ones who never stray far from the right paths, who are, on the whole, ornaments and bull warks of religion?
 ITO see life steadily, and to see it whole,'' that is the goal which an Eng fish poet puts before him and those for whom he writes. It is the all- round look that saves us from the narrow and distorted vision Never let your eyes remain so fixed upon a single thing, particularly if it be something painful to observe, that your eye becomes unable to traverse the entire field with your vision, to note the beautiful, strong and worthy clements in the landscape and to view it in it's entirety.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE DISTORTED VISION AND ITS
 CURE.

We are often told that +the single eye" to quote from Scripture, is a desirable part of any mans outfit This means. I take it. the concentra 4 worthy object. The Scripture declara- ton, mo man can serve two masters points in the same direction.
 But like every other good thing, single-mindedness may be carried to an extreme, and the inability to see more than one thing at a time may make a man narrow and prejudiced, may lead him to do harm to others The world is full of people whose eye sight Is too limited. They sometimes block the wheels of progress because of their distorted vision, the twist in their. mental makeup which amounts occasionally to an obsessfOn.
 We sec in the field of politics so many cases of the distorted vision. A candidate, an ofiiceholder, is judged or at the most. two or three specific acts He is condemned by this or that organization, temperance, labor or some other special interest, because he voted@ against a bill which that spe- cial interest favored. He may have voted fifty other times in accordance with the wishes of those now con demning him, but what matters it so long as he not in line on this particu- lar measure? Yet he may have acted d8 cOaHClSltlOuSly III llliS OAc cA6EClSS of free mans prerogative as in the other fifty. But we do not stop to examine his general legislative record, but simply ssbowl him out on one specification
 And how promo we are to make up our judgments of friends acuuaint- ances- and strangers on the basis of some one feature in their appearance, some one deed or personal character istic. We have all undergone pleasant disillusions through a closer acquainr- ance with those whom we did not lilS. when we first met them.

Norwich bulletin., 1911-02-25

Bernard Shaw will nsvsr be popular because he insists upon calling the attention of man to his inconsisteu- 1fcs. Men do not like to hear tho Truth about themselves, hence. they very much prefer to hear 1t about the other fellow. He says: When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when Q tiger wants to murder him he calls 1t ferocity." If the tigers selfish ideas could be made known perhaps he would not improve on this definition, but just reverse it. The dog -eat-dog" plane of life is where things that are brutal are always be- ing done in the name of sport, from the sporting side. I am rather in. clined to believe that it takes all kinds of folks to make world, and that is the reason life is made so interesting. It would not he hard to find molly coddles if the world was reformed as some men would have 1t. What would life be if it did not include all types and characters of men? If it were not for mans inconsistencies we should not realize how badly he needs re- forming.
 You would not think that every man had God-given right to keei, his notions to himself; and there ia endless evidence that most men are unaware of it. If it was fashionable AoI meu " Keep tueiT HOtionS 10 tnem- selves their part of the gossip would fall out of life. Notions are made up mostly Of things that are not 50 and are not likely to be so. Notions are principally useful in sustaining con- versation that is not worth being kept up, and in cautioning persons to avoid things which are never likely to happen. once heard .. man say that ha had a notion that the man who thought the moon was made of green cheese had an inordinate appetite for that particular kind of cheese. This Is high old notion which perches on as far-reachinx imagination. There
