THE DIFFERENCE.

On last Friday night a play
was given at the Christian
Church under the auspices of
the Ladies Aid Society" of that
church. Ny attitude toward the
churches in West Liberty, super
induced, as the doctors would say,
by their attitude toward me, is
too well known to need further
comment. But what ] started
out to say is this: Never since
this fight began four years ago--
a fight between rightandperson-
al privilege on one side and pre-
JUDGE, intolerance and bigotry on
the other side = never until the
13 day Of September, A. D. 1912,
did anyone approach me with a
proposition which smacked, in
the least, of justice or reason.
have had many conversations
with members of both churches
who decried the action of theil
respective church organizations
when talking to me privately,
but who it seemed, were wanting
in moral courage when it came
to a public showdown. The STAN.
ina to dare and to do what they
believe to be right was lacking
Heretofore the tone and tenor Of
those who have condescendeC
to talk to me on the subject, as {
rule, has been that notwithstand
ing the fact that | might be il
right, yet, in this benighted age,
when religion is subservient to
policy, | ought to surrender my
personalities of rightand wrong
justice and injustice and bow a
the shrine of public opinion OF

from the pulpit and accepted
blindly by the laity.,

degrees. To return to the
subject. One of the leading men
in the play, East Lynne, Mr. w.
H. Geyedon, approached me just
as though | were a human, with
human. impulses and attributes,
and asked me, that if under any
circumstances or conditions |
could attend the performance to
be given at the church that even
ing. This was. so unexpected
and out of the ordinary that, for
the moment, | was struck dumb.
When | had recovered sufficient
equamity to speak | told him. in
the most courteous language at
at my command, that there was
only one condition and that the
borderline between that and the
realms of impossibility were so
indefinite that it were folly to
dream that the church people,
from whom the advances would
have to come, would be able to To-
cate them. Who ever heared of a
church, as a body, frankly ac-
knowledging that it had
made a mistake or that any Of it's
corporate actions were wrong?
Nix! Humility, as taught by
the Son Of God, has been strick-
en- from the church category and
domination in affairs both spirit
ual and temporal, has been sub
stituted.
But the manner in which Mr..
Gevedon approached me and his

TREMENDOUS REPUBLICAN
SPLIT.

This election shows that Roose-
welt and Taft will split the Rep
ublican vote in two in every state
in the union, and that the Dem
ocratic party is united tits not
only possible, but very probable
that Woodrow Wilson will carry
about 40 states out of the total
48 in the Union.
However the Democrats must
keep up their campaigning and
not let the battle lag through
over confidence. Standpatism is
sinking Taft like a milestone and
Teddy is soaked in Standard Oil
to the neck.

The State election in Vermont,
which was held last week, has
greatly increased the very high
hopes Of the Democrats for VIC
tory this fall. 1t has demonstrat-
ed one point in particular, which
is of vital consequence to the dem
ocracy, and that is, the source
from which Roosevelt draws his
support, and this election has de-
monstrated that every Democrat
in the State of Vermont voted
the Democratic ticket and
the Roosevelt people a little
over one-third of the Republican
vote The normal Democratic
vote in Vermont is about. 10000
and the normal Republican vote
issabQuts 40, OOos and Roosevelt
pollsd $4,000, the regular Repq3
lican 26, 900, and the Democr5 DC
candidate for governor 2O,55O.
This shows that not only did
every Democrat stand true to his
party but that, many republican
first voters have evidently left
the Republican party in disgust
and have now allied them,
selves with theNDemocrats.

OUR ATTITUDE.

Now that the school at West
Liberty has opened there has been
some little speculation among
the people as to the attitude the
COURIER would occupy toward it,
generally. Some things for
which it has always contended
have been done, others have not.
There have been some good
changes made; there could have
been others. and because the
COURIER didn't carry it's every
point it has been said by some
that the editor would let his ami
mus run away with him, go gun
ming for the entire management
and take a shot at all creation.
That shows how little some peo-
Pile know and how narrow and
intolerant they would be were
they placed in our position. Our
attitude will be, in a nutshell:
ITO speak the truth and nothing
more" When it becomes neces-
sary to speak or write the facts
as they are will be told if it takes
the hide. Conditions, as they ex-
list, will be discussed without con-
cealment or color. If commend
alton is merited we will not hes
itate to commend. If condemna.
ton is deserved we will not be
slow to condemn. We pay oul
good coin to help maintain the
school and get, directly, not
cent in return. But we are in
terested in the education of every
child in Morgan county and there
fore strenuously opposed to see
ing conditions prevail in this O
any other school that would re
dound to their disadvantage
Every teacher who accepts a pc
sition in a public school shout
give value received for every cen
! of their salary. Ifthis is not don
the peoples money is being wors
than wasted. So it will be tn
province to the COURIER, durin
the present term of school
"render into Caesar that whic
is Caesars" 1t will not be aC
! tuated nor influenced either b
subservience to man, fear of Go
? or dread of the Devil when it be
comes incumbent upon it to ope
its columns for praise or criticism
as the facts may justify. Their
will be no hiding behind the bush
Everything will be said and don
in the open. 1t is more pleasan
to commend thanit is to cuss
but when to do the former woul
be to act the hypocrit and to d
the latter would be to tell tn
truth "cussing," as some pee
pie are pleased to call an exposi
ton of wrong conditions, is sur
to come. But on the other hand
if the school is conducted as
should be and the work is salts
; factory, and the word satisfaC
, tory is used advisedly-no set Q
r teachers can please everybody
then the COURIER WILDE the frs
to herald the tidings and it wi

The Common People.
Whether we accept the fact or
not, most-of us are of the great
common people" That as such
we have the power to collective
ly direct our economic destinies
is a theory agreed upon by all
political economists. That we
don't dothis is a fact, that, while
not admitted, is nevertheless
abundantly proven. The com
mon people have very little to do
with their political affairs. They
go out'and "whoop 'er up" for
their candidate, go to the polls
and vote, go back to their work
and leave their destinies in the
hands Of the politicians.
y atsT 1-<& -
In business affairs they have
little orsnothing to say, and the
wage Garner has absolutely no
control of the wages he receives
nor the prices he pays for the
necessaries Of life. The stock
gambler, fixes the price of the
necessities and the trusts fix the
amount Of his wages. Notwith-
standing that on Change last
week wheat was lower than it
has been for"years the price of
flour kept its upward move. In
a spirit Of the desire to learn |
asked "a merchant if he had heard
Of the. slump lin the price of
wheat andshe CURLY answered:
Nope" It has always been a
puzzle to me why a decline in
the price of an article was so long
in reaching the merchants and
the news of an advance comes in
double the speed Of a wireless
message.
Sometimes | think that the
great common people. get all
that is coming to them. They
pirate of their rights" and their
sovereignty as American citizens,
tread the other mans earth as if
it belonged to them, and enter
no protest against the system
thatmakes slaves Of them. 1t
may be thatin the'eternal fitness
of things they get all that they
they deserve. Those who are
willing slaves can scarcely be ex-
pected to throw off the yoke, and
it is questionable if they would
appreciate industrial freedom.

Appropos of this doubt it will
interesting to watch the result
of Ohio's plan to go to 4 basis of

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one
of the prominent life insurance COM
panies, in an interview on the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that the reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority of applicants do not even
suspect that they have the disease. ~
He states that Judging from his
own experience and reports from
dru ggists who are constantly in di-
rect touch with the public, there is
one preparation that has probably
been more successful in relieving
and curing these diseases than any
remedy known. The mild and heal
ing influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for it's remarkable record of
cures.
We find that Swamp-Root is strict
ly an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need
of such a, remedy to give it a trial.
It is on sale at all drug stores in bot
ties of two sizes fifty cents and one
dollar. '.
| However, if you wish first to test
its wonderful merits, send to DR.. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle, absolutely free. When
writing be sure and mention the Be-
midji Daily Pioneer.
