HOW FAR DOES IT ReAcH7

The Mechanicsville Pioneer pays
it's attention to the "low-lived
white-hvered dog" who procures
whisky for the man whose family have
biacklisted him by warning the liquor
dealers that selling to him will be fol-
lowed by prosecution. Tho Pioneer
says:
No matter how hard the victim OF
the drink habit may have tried to quit
it; no matter what his and his family's
sufferings may have been. or are, be-
cause Of his uncomfortable appetite.
this friend" upon the promise Of
drink, will go out and procure 1T for
the poor devil. A whisky pimp, when
he dies and goes to hell, makes hell
just that much more dreadful than be-
fore he entered. A footpad is a gentle
man compared to the whisky pimp.
The man who procures whisky for
victim Of the habit is a mighty mean
man. We all agree upon that partic-
ular point. Whether the procurer gets
it because Of pity, or profit or to get
drink from the victims" purchase we
Comparisons are odious. In this case
particularly so. But does degree OF
comparison exist between the odious
procurer who wants a drink and the
SNUG druggist or the saloonist who
sells it for profit? Does the compar-
ison go farther and include those of US
who are willing to keep the stuff under
the noses Of those with uncomfortable
appetites" because we think it makes
business better?" Whisky is whisky
whether it costs Is cents a drink over
the bar or IS cents pint at the drug
store, whether it is absorbed leaning
on a brass foot rail at mahogany
counter or swallowed hastily in a stall
at the feed yard It all comes to the
same thing to the man with the "un-
comfortable appetite" He gets just
as drunk and abuses his family just
the same How far does the compar-
ison go? Does it reach US good citi-
zens or not? Where does the response
bility which we are, all of US willing
to saddle upon the worthless devil who
peddles whisky to a drunkard, where
does this responsibility end? Does it
reach US?

Central Iowa Is up and equal to other

Corn is great prospect. The stand

well advanced. II the season bears out
it's promise there will be record crop

east Of Illinois the crops are not good
and while Illinois has a fair crop her
small grain was not especially good
nor is her corn prospect equal to that

remains strong. Oats will be oats and

Iowa Is pre- eminent in crops and

The highest christianity teaches us
that God supplies us with thoughts
rather than with things: and these
spiritual and good thoughts externalize
themselves, in turn, in whatever brings
us blessing. Christ Jesus made this
plain when he urged that we concern
ourselves not with things. He preached
the worlds greatest sermon on the
relative value of things in his Seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his right
eousness; and all these things shall Sbe
added unto you" He had just been
talking about food and raiment-those
matters which seem most vital to hu-
man comfort-but he turned thought
from them to the search for righteous
ness as OF first Importance. He did not
| bid us do without external things.
He handled them rather in their right
relation to the thoughts OF men and
set forth the unfailing way to avoid the

her death she was past Master.
The highest position of response

her greatest reward in the world to
come was her devout Christian life

her faithful husband she was an
ideal home builder. The family al.

CHARACTER

Here is warm coat for your chill
ed courage, held out across the years
by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
All that is clearly due today is not
to lie.
In other places, other men have
encountered sharp trials, and have
behaved themselves well.
The martyrs were sawn asunder,
or hung alive on meat hooks.
Cannot we screw our courage to
patience and truth, and without COM
plant, or even with good humor,
.~ait our turn of action in the In
Snite Councils?
Often we are nearly or quite over
come by the thought that so much is
due from us, and due this very day;
this hour.
This, because we mistake inconse-
Quentials for matters of consequence !;
because we make mental mountains
of material mole-hills.
"All that is clearly due today is
NOT TO LIE"
This is more than a warm coat. 1t
is rousing, vitalizing trumpet-blast
from a man who preferred criticism.
denunciation and ostracism to living
a lie.
But l am very truthful" you may
say to yourself.
Are you truthful WITH YOUR
SELF?
Simply to keep from lying to or
about others is the outer shell of the
virtue.
Not to lie to yourself is the meat,
the kernel.
And it is a difficult matter to be
true to yourself That makes it all
the more worth while, for it adds
discipline to duty, and discipline is a
whopping big thing.
To be patient and truthful, uncom-
plaining,-here is a complete test OF
the higher being.
| 1t is becoming a habit with us to
be in a hurry. Not only do we walk
! drive and motor fast, but we want
| to achieve at the same rate.
! The young man wants to cut out
the in-between rungs on the ladder
and land at the top with a single
leap.
The young woman must have the
latest Paris fad, whether or not there
be need for it.
With many persons there is moi
enough time to think about CHAR
ACTER and NOBILITY though
these are the prime essentials; the
basic considerations of any life thai
is worth while.
Yes, l know this is more or less
trite. But each day adds to my con
! viction that such reminders are need
| ed now as never before.
Each day l meet men and womer
who have found the leap" system
a hollow mockery; who are suffering
unutterable anguish because they
followed the will-of-the-wisp of "get
| there at any cost"
What they would pay to be back
again at the bottom of the ladder
BUT YOU CANNOT BUY BACK
| YOURSELF!
This being the case, consider vel
before you seek happiness or con,
tentment through compromise with
those sure aids,-Truth, to self anC
other; Labor, of any sort that is hon.
est; Patience, and Good Humor.
These will carry you to the heights
and KEEP YOU THERE!
