Some Pretty Sentiments Picked for Home
Consumption

Smiles should be the legal tender in
every family for the payment of all
debts of kindness and each member
should be willing to take this currency
at its face value
Don't repress the buoyant spirit of
your children; half an hour of merri-
ment around the lamp and freight
Of home blots out many care and
annoyance during the day, and the best
safeguard they can take with them
into the world is the unseen influence
of bright little domestic circle.
There is no fault so hard to over
come as hasty temper. We may
make any number of resolutions, and
then the first time we have any provo
cation away we go without an instant S
warning, and before we realize what
we are doing the unkind words have
been spoken, and no matter how much
regret we feel they cannot be unsaid.
Let our homes be places of love, joy
and brightest sunshine, places of en-
during love that outlasts the wedding
day, and which produces a life of one
ullDIOhCu nOAIN yiiiOoiiy Vic lllOiullS kldCG
of character, place where the child
breathes an atmosphere perfumed by
the choicest flowers of heaven, where
it finds the greatest earthly security in
mothers loving, fostering care.
A great many more young men and
women are sent upon the road to ruin
by money than by poverty AS a rule
the devil wants no better chance at
boys and girls than to have their pock-
cts filled with cash and then set down
at some fashionable resort. Rest is
alright; reyelry is all wrong.
Kind words do not cost much. They
are quickly spoken. They do not
blister the tongue that utters them.
They have never been repented of.
They do not keep us awake till mid
night. 1t is easy to scatter them. And
oh, how much good they may do! They
do good to the person from whose lips
they fall They will smooth down the
rough places in our natures.
Many time a cheerful home and
happy face does more to make good
men and women than all the learning
and eloquence that can be used. 1t
has been said that the sweetest words
in our language are mother, home and
heaven, and one might almost say the
word home includes them all, for who
can think of home without remember
ing the gentle mother who sanctified il
by her presence?

Winneshiek Autoists Organize.

A meeting of automobile owners was
held at the court house on Monday af-
ternoon, to consider the proposition to
organize an automobile club for Win
neshiek county. While only a few
Decorahians were present, there was a
good representation on hand from CAL
mar, Fort Atkinson, Ossian and Cas-
talis, and the matter was discussed
from its various standpoints, after
which committee consisting of Rev.
P. Koren of Washington Prairie, Geo.
Bieber of Fort Atkinson and O. P. Ode
of Calmar was appointed. to determine
upon plan of organization.
The automobile owners of the county
are determined that something shall
be done toward making good roads in
Winneshiek county, more particularly
in the matter of dragging. They pro-
pose to see that the township trustees
do their duty in this regard, or place
them in the hands of the law. In
many parts of the county there has
been utter disregard of the provision
for road dragging, and large per
cent of the money which has been ex-
pended on the roads has been spent to
give some fellow job or simply to
put in so much time. They propose to
have some person. probably an attor-
ney, to whom inattention to the road
law in any part of the county may be
reported, and who will at once take
action to have this remedied or cause
the arrest of the township trustees.
There is plenty of money in Winnie
shiek county for road purposes to have
good roads if wisely expended We
are informed that next year there will
be upwards of $4,000 in this county
tor road purposes. If this money is
judiciously spent, not wasted as much
of the road money now is, we will have
splendid roads.
This is not an automobile problem.
It is an economical problem, in which
every man, woman and child in Winnie
sbiek county is directly, financially in
terested. Good roads means more
wealth, more prosperity, more happi-
ness for every citizen. 1t means that
we can all get more for our money,
and more money tor what we produce

The New Cardinals.

The design of the pope in deciding to
create three additional cardinals for
the United States is to evidence his re-
gard for the country and its people.
The selection of Archbishop O'Connell
of Boston, Archbishop Farley of New
York and Monsignor Falconi of Wash
ington is a distinguished mark of ap-
probation Of their loyalty to the holy
see.
1t is to be imagined that nowhere
more than in the vatican was there
keener sense of humiliation arising
from the scandal consequent upon the
unbaring of the Roosevelt-Storer in
trigue for the elevation of the arch
bishop of St. Paul to the cardinalate.
The publication Of the correspondence
between Roosevelt and my dear Ma
ria" forever blasted whatever chances
Archbishop Ireland had to attain his
ambition. 1t is to the everlasting
credit of the pontiff and to the glory
of the church that political influence in
America counts for nothing in the vati-
can and is received with disfavor.
The archbishop of New York nor the
archbishop of Boston ever made po-
litical speech or an eleventh hour pro-
nouncement in favor of the election of
the republican nominee for president.
1t is to be assumed that the burden of
administering their episcopal duties
took all their time to the exclusion of
politics and the honor given them is
in the nature of reward for minding
their own business al minding it well.
Monsignor Falconi. the papal dele
gate to the United States, is nat
uralized American citizen and proud of
the tact.
