Morals and Character.

Recently we heard a man make the
remark. "a man may have the best Of
morals and not bit of character "
The thought expressed made quite an
impression on us and the expression
has frequently returned to us since.
There is a great deal of truth in the
statement We all know men whose
morals are above reproach but who
have no force of character. They have
none OF the vcies such as swearing,
drinking, gambling, etc. From a
purely moral stand point their lives are
irriproachabe but when you test
them you find them weak, timid, un-
certain, never able to make up their
minds on any question. They never
take any step without fear and fore
boding
On the other hand you.will find men
w.o have many vices, who lead inn
moral lives, who have very strong
characters, These men give way TO
their lusts, their passions AMI their
vices, still when question cOnfronts
them they take hold OF 1t with assur-
ance and determination. They decide
what shall be done and without hesi-
tation attempt to do it. They are
often absolutely honest men, who
would not think of STOPPING to any
little or mean act. II they have
ability and perseverance, they are
certain to accO npiish things.
A man with strong ch trlcter,
whose morals are bad, is deformed.
lie is not able to accomplish what he
should, he Injuries his body and mind
by his eXcesses and his example is bad.
SO with the man OF good morals and a
weak character, he is also deformed.
lie does not accomplish what he should
he is disappointment to himself and
his friends, his vacillation and fears
make him failure.
When stong character and good
morals are combined i'm man, then
the most can be attained. Such a
man is respected and admired, his life
is an influence for good, he is benefit
TO society, his works help Others and
the world is better because he has
lived.

TESTING HIS STRONG WILL
conceited Club Man Caught In At

Mental Powers.

At one of the clubs the other day
Two members were arguing about will
tower. The conceited man, who was
in the habit of boring all present with
his pointless tales, said that his will
was stronger than his friends.
You are wrong there" said the
quiet man, "and ! will prove 1t In this
way. You go and stand in that cor
ner, and | will will you to come out
of IT, You will against me, and | bet
you that | will have you from that cor
Ler before | have commanded you a
second time"
The smart one took the bet, and put
himself in the corner. The quiet man
said, in a commanding voice.
Come out of that corner!"
The other grinned and shook his
head. The quiet man sat down and
looked at him steadily. Five minutes
passed, and then the man of will said,
with a sneer:-
Hadn't you better give It up?
don't feel any influence at all, and l
can't stand here all the evening"
"There is no hurry" said the quiet
man, "and / have very comfortable
seat. There is no time limit except
that you are to come out before | ask
you twice, and as ] don't intend to
nsk you again until this day week,
think you will feel the influence be-
fore then"
The smart one came out.

SWALLOWS ARE VERY BOLT
Cne Builds Nest In House and Al.
other Establishes Home on
Electric Light Lamp.

A very curious instance of boldness
in swallows was recorded in 1886
rom Ceylon. In this case the birds
uilt over a lamp in the dining room ;
what made their choice of site more
remarkable was the fact that the
amp could be raised or lowered by
lunter weights and the connecting
chains auctually passed through the
aud walls of the nest.
Occasionally the bird selects nest
ing site which invites comparison with
the boldness of the robin. In July last
pair Of swallows took advantage Of
the open window OF an unoccupied
bedroom in house at Felmersham in
Bedfordshlre to begin building their
nest on the curtain rod of the bed.

house and his occupation Of the bed

cupant of the bed when flying In and
out Of the window feeding their
young; but the hen bird would fly of

during the daytime.

not confined entirely TO the members

with big corporations, we believe that
there are few votes in both parties

OF the state this city has the right

granted TO a telephone company, and
that N of those conditions which
will enter into the granting

matter of rates. The mayor
has refrained all the time from max
ing a statement of this character,
but he wanted the men to know the
position of at least the mayor and
the city attorney.
From the discussion that was pre-
sented at the meeting the automatic
telephone seemed to meet with pop
ular approval, bat before reaching
anything OIL a definite conclusion the
mayor suggested that central energy
plan should be presented, and pre-
vious to that he believed in getting
an expert engineer, not associated
with any company and have the same
matter presented from a totally dis
interested party so that the ques-
ton could be presented without any
bias.
a vote of thanks was rendered the
Dakota Central Telephone Co. for
the entertainment provided during
the evening. The meeting was con-
Quoted without any great amount of
criticism, and considerable light was
thrown on the telephone subject.
After the meeting was owe the
automatic telephone which had been
previously installed in the Elks home
was tried out by the men. 1t gave
them some understanding of the
phone, and many marveled at the
simplicity of operation, when the
supposition has been in the minds of
many that it was more o" less in
%tricate.
Before the adoption Of any system
it is likely that another meeting will
be called to discuss the proposition
on other lines.

l9 to ID. Two thirds vote necessary
in Senate to give bill immediate eff
feet. One democrat has since come
over. All ten of republicans oppos-

OF these Taft Senators could give to
Michigan voters chance to declare

out primaries. AT the first district
committee meeting a lobby consisting
OF the following federal appointees
to-wit: Casey, Biddle, Swallow,
Tucker. Burdics and Weltmer We're
present advocating the elimination
of primaries. In the second congress
sional district the Kansas City,
Kansas and Paola P~osofices are be-
ing used to prevent the people hav-
ing a chance to vote for the nominal
ion of a President.
IF it is disreputable and dishon-
est to use money to elect a United
States Senator in Illinois, why is it
not equally dishonest to use Fed
eral patronage to nominate a pres
ident of the United States? While a
vast number of republicans do not
agree with some OF your policies you
have been given credit with good mo-
tives and high standards and | do
not WISH W III any way IHSilluitS
that you are personally responsible
for these methoGs but you are the
beneficiary, and after the facts are
presented to you, if you do not pub
licly condemn them, you must neces-
sarily share the responsibility. Are
YOU in favor of disfranchising a vast
majority of the republicans of this
state by using the caucus and con-
vention system where not one Re-
publican out of twenty will have any
voice whatever in expressing their
preference for President? Do you
approve the use of Federal patron
age to control the selection of dele
gates to a National Convention? DO
you not know the federal offices rep
resent the same value as money as
an influence in electing ed%elegates to
