as men OF equal ability disagree-and
the re are many in the world who rank
with this great man and who do not
share his belief on such vital topics as
life and death, the grave, heaven and
hell; so long, we say, as they differ,
the opinion of the one offsets the other
and no impartial man can say which
is in the right. This is the reason all
great problems are yet unsolved ano
ever will be so far as the world in
general is concerned. Nearly every
one has a theory, a solution for all
social, political, economic and reli-
gious problems, yet there never has
been time when such confusion has
prevailed as the present. People are
willing to let differences such as the
meaning an: spelling of words be set
tied by reference to the dictionary,
but they are not willing to leave to
the only authority man has on the
subiect-the Bible matters which
are vital, which would control his life
here and hereafter Man is selfish
by nature, and will not brook inter
ference, in thought or deed, unless
compelled.

Primary Plan for San Juan

On the first page of this issue
appears the plan which has been
decided upon for selecting dele
gates to the Republican county
and state conventions. The state
convention which is to meet at
Aberdeen May 18th will select
DELEGATES for the National con-
vention which convenes in Chi
cago June Is.
The opportunity is here af-
forded the voters of San Juan
county for the first time to make
their own nomin atoms, and at
the primaries Saturday, May 4th
to vote their choice for delegates
and at the same time indicate
their preference for President.
By this plan machine methods
are absolutely eliminated, and
delegates 60 to the convention,
not to do their own will, but to
express the desires of their con-
stituents, as the pledge cards in
dictate. All interested in clean
politics should help to nominate
good men, and when the time
comes should indicate a prefer
ence for President.

Disagrees With the Editor

The following was submitted too
late for last weeks issue, but as it is
Just as pertinent now as then, we
print it, adding a word of comment:
Seattle, April 2.
Editor San Juan Islander: rather
liked that item about Edison's reli-
gious belief in your last issue, but
am taking the time to write and say
that | don't quite agree with your
statement in mentioning the article,
to theleffect that Edison's opinion is
worth no more than that of any
other person of good intelligence on
the matter of death. The conclusions
OF such great minds as this mans
carry great weight with me, while
the views of the average man are
only OF passing interest. Admitting
that he don't know that death is I'M
concious sleep-that this life is all
there is--thatwe reap and partake
OF harvest of happiness or misery
here-yet, considering the mans I'M
usual capacity as thinker, his age.
and presuming that he has devoted
some time to the subject, it helps me
also to form conclusions which are not
easily shaken.
Trusting you will pardon this in
truslon, and as a regular reader OF
the Islander, wishing the new editor
success, | am,
Very truly, &c M.
The fact that E. C. M. disaerees
with the editor, and that he evidently
does agree with Edison is not strange
AS between the two it would indeed
De unusual if Edison's opinion was not
given greater consideration. But
the thought we had was this: So long

T" The Talents I"

Rev. D. B. Mclaughlin. Presby-
terian Sunday school missionary,
preached at the Presbyterian church
Sunday evening on 1.-The Talents"
Every man-every individual is CIV
en- at least one talent. And every
individual has burdens to bear. No
one is given burden greater than
he can carry. The many suicides
from failures in life are because of
man being independent and not will
ling to be dependent on God. When
the child has trouble it usually goes
to the only one it knows-its moth
er. If when our troubles come we
will go to the only one who can
give the right kind of help, we will
be able to bear them. What are
we doing with our talent or talents?
If we have five, and the master re-
turns and finds we have used them
profitahly, he will say well done"
If we only have two, or one, and
have used them as best we can, he
will say, "Well done. good and
faithful servant, thou hast been
faithful over a few things, / will
make the ruler over many things;
enter thou into the joy of thy Lord"
But. if having been given talents,
we hide them, the Lord will say,
"Thou wicked and slothful SER
vant," etc. "Cast the improbable
servant into outer darkness; there
shall be wailing and crashing of
teeth" The servant who hid his
talent illustrates the sin Of omission
in a remarkable manner. 1t is not
known that this servant. blasphem-
ed. lied, defrauded or DETAINED
character he simply neglected his
opportunities. How many Of you
people are using what you have?
Some of you may think if you had
John Jones' ability you would do
great things, or if you had Mrs.
Smiths power of conversation you
could accomplish much. Some are
anxious to 60 into the foreign mis-
sionary field. But you must re-
member that, as our parable ex-
plains. only those who are faithful
in doing the little things are given
the greater to do. Are you doing
what you may right herein your
home town. in your home church?
Are you. even by word, or other
wise, encouraging those who are,
without any pay, devoting much
of their time and energies in teach
ing your children from that book
which the public school excludes
the Bible. If you are motif you
are not seeking to make the world
better by your having lived in it
you are committing the sin of omis-
sion-you are classed with the I'M
profitable servant. Mr.. Mclaughlin
prayed that all might appreciate
more the privilege which was theirs
and use what talents they have,
though it be but one.

have had occasion to Investigate
have found wages 40 to so per cent
lower in England than in America.
At the time Of the recent railway
strike in Great Britain, investigated
the wages of the engineers and train
men. I found that the highest sala-
ries paid any railway engineers in
Great Britain was less than SIS a
week, and that these so-called high
wages were paid to only dozen men
who were the star engineers on fast
trains meeting the Atlantic liners.
The average engineer received less
than nine dollars and a half week,
firemen averaged less than six dol
lars a week, and the average guard,
who corresponds to our conductor.
received six dollars and thirty-six
cents week.
There would be a revolution in
America, and justifiable one. II such
wages as these were paid to our com
petent railway employees. Yet with
such wages working men In free trade
England are expected to meet cost
of living as high as or higher than
ours.
The false statement that living in
England is cheaper than in America
has been made 80 often by those who
have not taken the trouble to learn
the facts. Living is not cheaper in
England than in America. II any.
thing, it is dearer. Food is much
dearer in England than In America.
Luxuries like fruit and many yege.

tables are entirely beyond the reach
Of the average individual.
Rent is cheaper In England than
in many places in America, but taxes
are UNNECESSARILY greater, raising the
actual cost of rents from 80 to IS
per cent.
Custom made clothing Is cheaper
in England than in America, but no
where in the world Is ready made
clothing as remarkable in cut and
quality and cheapness as in the
United States. Shoes are better and
cheaper in the United States than in
any other place in the world.
travelling and transportation in
the United States are about half what
they are in England. Meats, though
high in the United States, are higher
in England, and good part of the
beef in England is imported from the

land as resident correspondents have

tariff properly applied being mainly
responsible for the increased cost OF
living. It is worse than useless. It
is senseless.
The cost of living in England, a
free trade country, is quite as great
as the cost of living in the United
States, a protective country. Indeed,
to make an even more convincing
comparison, the cost Of living IN
England, a free trade country, is not
ably greater than the cost OF living
in Germany, a protective country.
II. therefore, free trade or radical
tariff reduction can reduce the cost
of living, why Is not the cost OF living
In free trade England largely lower
than the cost of living In protected
United States or at least as low as
in protected Germany?
AS a matter of fact, even the most
radical tariff reduction does not ma
terially reduce the universally In
creasing cost of living, but it does ma
terially reduce the wherewithal to
meet the increasing cost of living.
Radical tariff reduction does force
manufacturers out of business ana
men out of employment, and by
throwing a superabundanoe Of labor
upon the market reduce the price OF
labor. which is wages.
In England the wages paid in most
lines of labor are 80 low as abso-
lutely to shock the American sense

THE ATTACK ON THE KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS. -

Ottumwa has been flooded with
vicious circulars making brutal at
tack on the knights of Columbus, a
fraternal organization whose members
are affiliated with the Catholic
church. The circular gives what pur-
ports to be an oath taken by the mem
bers OF this order which reaches the
heizht of the ridiculous. The writer's
OF this blasphemous and profane
screed, who do not sign their names,
attack an order whose watchword is
patriotism. whose membership Is COM
posed of Christian men, many OF them
leaders in the religious, professional
and social life OF their communities.
10 charge that such men would take
an oath so atrocious in its character Is
infamous. To make SO venomous an
attack on fraternal order OF the high
character and standing Of the Knights
Of Columbus for political purposes is
STOPPING to depths Of degradation that
merits the contempt Of right thinking
people. without regard to any church
afflliatton whatever.

Every republican voter OF Wapello
county should bear in mind the two
paramount results to be reached by the
republicans In this campaign is; first,

importance of republicans holding

cans to the various state legislatures.
All those who wish the return OF
Hon. w. 8. Kenyon to the U. s. SEN

dating when his cons tituents have
called for his services. Mr.. Shane
was member Of several of the most
important committees of the last
house. He framed two of the bills
listed among the sixteen important
measures passed and aided in com
mittee in framing several others. He
has been tried and has demonstrated
his worth. He should be reelected.
w. w. Epps, who is also candidate
for representative in the state legis,
lature, Wapello county having two
representatives in the next legislature
owing to the increase In population
shown by the 1910 census, has served
in various public capacities with
credit to himself and honor to the
community. Mr.. Epps is q promi.
nent member of the Wapello county
bar and ably fitted for the duties OF q
legislator. His public service In OF
tumwa has included five terms as city
solicitor and two terms as mayor OF
Ottumwa, ably filling both positions.
Albert Bluhm, republican candidate
for county auditor, Is q young man who
has been a hard worker for the sue
cess of the party and is deserving OF
success at the polls. He Is promi.
