Seems to be Cleaning Up-Best Ele'
ment For Gov. Sulzer

The Whole country is thorough
ly disguised with the fight over
the governorship of the State of
New York. The whole trouble
is due to the fact that Governor
Sulzer would not do the bidding
Of Tammany Hall. The fret de-
mand that Tammany made on
Sulzer after he became Governor
was to pardon Charles Becker,
the police captain who has been
sentenced to death for having
plotted and caused the murder
of Rosenthal, the gambler, last
year. The ridiculous part of the
whole impeachment proceedings
is the fact that Sulzer is being
impeached for acts which were
committed before he became gov
ernor, and no official is impeach-
able except for acts committed
while in office. A still more ri
dicuIous thing is that Sulzer is
not being impeached because he
is a bad governor, for be is not,
and he has never during the six
teen years he was in Congress
voted for any measure but what
was worthy and patriotic. he is
being impeached because he is a
good governor and refused to
take orders from Tammany Hall
and her horde Of cut-throat poll
ticians and thugs. If Charles f.
Murphy is allowed to kick Sul-
ger out of the gubbernatorial
chair. New York will have to
hang her head in shame until the
present generation shall have
passed away.

what i, tn. Matter With the wOrIda"

what is the Matter With the WOnd7"
The solution of this age-old
problem is easy. The remedy
for all the ills affecting the hu
man race may be readily found,
when once the cause is ascertain
ed. AS effect follows canse so a
remedy to be effectual must be
applied to the source of the
trouble.
There is one cause for all po-
litical corruption, social evils,
financial frauds, industrial Ills,
liquor traffic, wars. poverty, dis
ease, strikes, lockouts, shame,
misery sorrow and suffering.
There are many branches to
the great tree of evil, and re-
formers have been hacking away
at them from time immemorial
but anyone looking out over the
world will be forced to the con-
clusion that most of the evils of
our time are growing ones.
Was there ever a time when
preparations for war were on
such giganic scals?. Were the
industrial ills ever as serious as
today? The. fearful spread of
social evil, the terrible white
slave traffic, the number of d.
vorce cases, the more than sixty
percent of humanity afflicted
with loathsome' diseases due TO-
immortality, all attest the awful
condition of our race.
Experience has demonstrated
that it is futile to attempt to re-
move the branches of evil. The
tree itself must be killed. The
only way to kill the tree is to
strike at the roots. What are
the roots2 The answer to this
is the answer to the entire prob
lem of "What is the matter with
the world?" 1t is selfishness IN
the human heart. AnalYze every
evil in the world. and it can be.
traced to this one source.
Remove selfshness, and the
evils will fade away. How can
this be doneP 1t will require
the divine power of the Creator.
Hopeless indeed would be this
world If God had not provided
the remedy. This, which is be-
ly1d the power of man to
achieve, will be done when Mes.
siah's kingdom is established in
the earth. His righteous reign
will be lnaugurated for the very
purpose of removing the stony
hearts of selfishness and of Civ.
ing to mankind hearts of flesh,
dispositions of love and kindness
and goodwill. - Isaiah 9:6.9;

Be Iione,t-Ev,n With Railroad,

rs O"st nus as " hhCA
the heading, "Be Honest Even
With The Railroad" the Banner
of this city makes the following
editorial comment regarding the
contention of the railroads that
the Post Office Department Is
underpaying them for handling
the mails:
"To carry the peoples mail
quickly, safely and frequently is
a social obligation which the rail-
roads freely concede. 1t is a
service voluntarily performed,
for no law compels a railroad
company to carry mails unless it
contracts to do so. The courts
hold, however, that if the rail
roads, so contract, they must do
so on terms named by the gov
ernment
Though surrounded by these
anomalous conditions, the rail-
roads have without stint placed
their resources at the disposal of
the Nation to develop the trans
portation of mails to the highest
possible state of efficiency. This
service has been paid for at a
price fixed by the government, a
price from which the carriers
have had no appeal. Railroad
officers have felt, ever since the
present method of railway mail
payment was established in 1873,
that this compensation was I'M
justly low.
"This opinion is still held by
experienced railroad officers
throughout the country, but with
even greater firmness and earn
|estness. on account of the increas-
ing costs of railroad operation
combined with frequent heavy
reductions in railway mail pay
made by the government.
The United States government,
in 1912, paid the railways $751;
697, 374,49 for carrying mail.
This was about 20.95 per cent.
of all postal revenues. In 1901
the railways received "a per cent
of the postal revenues. In that
same year, 1901, the Joint Com
mittee to Investigate the Postal
Service, of which Senator VOL
colt was chairman, reported to
congress its opinion that the
prices now paid to the railroads
for the transportation of the
mails are not excessive Yet,
in 1907, congress reduced railway
mail pay by 1928. 900, about
five per cent, and the postmaster
general, upon his own initiative,
by administration order, made a
further reduction of nearly $5,-
600, 900, about ten per cent; an
aggregate reduction of 81, 7O0,0 900
per annum, or fifteen per cent.
"The railroads maintain that
at present they are I'm 1erpaid by
at LEAST $15, 900, 900 per year. 1t
is their belief that a fair adjust
ment would require that the
government should pay the rail
roads for all services they rem
der.
"The complaint of the railways
is not against the standard OF
measuring such mail service as
is paid for, out that very large
amount of service is demanded
for which the nation makes nc
payment whatever

ITEMS FROM FARMERS SHELBINA DEFEATED.
Monroe City High School Wins at
Foot Ball Tuesday.

Before a crowd of 300 foot ball
enthusiasts Monroe H. S. defeated
their old enemy Shelbina, at Con-
ways Park by the score of 7 to 0, in
one of the cleanest and best played
foot ball games ever seen on local
gridiron. Accompanied by about
100 rooters the Shelbina team came
down confident of victory, but Mon
roe proved its superiority much to
the delight of the local teams fol-
lowers Shelbina won the toss aud
chose to defend the South goal.
Monroe kicked off at 1884 and the
game was on. Shelbina started up
the field but it was soon seen that
they would be unable to smash our
line and they soon were held for
downs. Monroe received the ball
in the middle of the field and be-
gun steady march towards Shell
bina's goal, which was soon crossed
by Corder, who Immediately kicked
goal. Score Monroe7. Shelhiua 0.
This was the first 9 minutes of play.
The rest of the game Monroe play
ed more on the defensive, althou gh
the entire game with few exceptions
was played in Shelbina's territory.
Shelbina made 1st down only twice
in the game, both times in the last
ten minutes of play on forward
passes. Monroe City lost the tall
on downs once and that was so
close it called for measurement.
Monroe failed in two attempts at
place kick and also failed in all but
two attempts to make forward
pass. The game was absolutely
free from wrangling. 1t was one Of
the prettiest cleanest games ever
played by High School teams, and
every member of the Monroe team
deserves much credit for its victory.

ington R. r. a special train of good
boosters made trip across the
state stopping at all the towns
while the speakers explained the
proposition, to the citizens.
In every town where the train
stopped there was an immediate di-
vision of public opinion, one class
in favor of pushing the idea organ
izing the farmers, raising money in
towns, and building the road, street
corner arguments and goods box
orations were numerous. the knock
er was There putting in full time,
even to the neglect of the front
yard, the wood pile, and the coal
bin. He objected to the road be-
ing built because it meant. in his
opinion, a bond issue, then it was
being built for the automobile
driver.
The knocker lost as he always
does for knockers never win, and
winners never knock"
The farmers out at Hassard have

road work, they held meeting at
