snax For Salary Boost.

snaE For Salary Boost.
The House put in all the afternoon
on the specific appropriation pill. To-
day the House has the Storen voters
registration bill and the Spencer bill
to increase the state tax levy on hand
for passage. Tomorrow the housing
bill will come on for passage.
1t Is said that Representatives Crav-
ems and Bedwell the two house mem
bers of the joint conference committee
on the regular appropriations bill are
refusing to agree to the salary boosts
which were made by the senate.
The House refused to grant Warden
Fogarty of the state prison at Michigan
City $1,000 a year with which TO rent a
1000 acre farm adjoining the prison
for a prison farm.
Several vetoes.
Governor Ralston vetoed the Isen-
barger bill which provided that when
1875 persons in any county that had a
county fair filed a petition with the
county commissioners they would be
required to levy tax of 1 cent on each
500 of taxable property for the sup
port of such county fair. The Cover
nor said this was unconstitutional be-
cause 1t was taking public money for
private purposes. He figured that 1t
would cost the taxpayers of the state
| $4,000 a Sear.
| He also vetoed the burglars RELIEF
bill. This bill proposed to reduce from
ten to twenty to two to fourteen years
| the penalty for a first conviction for
burglary, and would have made eligl-
BILE to parole at the end of two years
of their Imprisonment all burglars con-
victed under the ten to twenty year
/ law. The Governor said he could not
agree to the spirit of this bill. Both
of these vetoes were forecasted in
! these dispatches several days ago.
These Have Ralston's Signature.
The Governor signed these bills:

God, of home. Yet these emotions are
common.
Some one else has said that genius
consists In the ability to express what
everybody else feels. This Is but CIV

men.
The greatest things in me are not my
peculiarities, but the things l have In
common with my fellows, the fullness
with which | give utterance to these
things, the points Of contact l have
with all manner and conditions of men.
Benjamin Franklin was at home In

The greatest men are so. They pos

THE VALUE OF GOOD TEMPER.

Allen G. Thurman, 1.-The old Roman
gave as the first rule Of conduct for a
young man about to enter public life
this: a.'s
Keep a civil tongue In your head"
That is first rule for other things
besides public life.
Good temper Is business asset :.
The winner smiles. The loser frowns.
Don't look like loser.
A crouch frightens away dollars as
we'll as friends. 5.Hf
Don't be a crouch.
Your tongue is your advance agent.
Don't permit the advance agent to
queer your show.
There Is an old story Of man who
was barred from club because he
forgot to say, Thank you" to a man
who held open a door to let him pass.
That tale had wide circulation, and,
It Is safe to say, few who read 1t ever
afterward made a similar mistake.
It Is a little thing to say, please
for request or THANK you" for a
service rendered, but such little things
go a long way in the success OF life.
It is not so small thing to hold your
temper in a difficult situation. but 1t
goes quite as far. There are people
who observe these trifes and remem-
Der them either for or against their
author. sn.f gg@
"Keep a civil tongue in your head"
The essence of courtesy is thought
fulness for others. 1t is the Golden
Rule In practice.
Learn to put yourself in the place OF
others and to regulate your words and
deeds accordingly. a. ~
Being amiable and considerate Will
finally become habit.
Every salesman Is schooled In speak
ing civilly. He has to be. The sort
answer that turneth away wrath is

but business requirement. ~
The man who never raises his voice
In anger Is now counted the idea, bust
ness man.
There are those Of exceptional at
tainments who win even with bad tenn
pers. but they succeed despite TINS
fault. not because Of 1t. t
Let your temper be expended In the
energy with which you do things, not
In hasty words.

THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS.

To stand ON a mountain top 1t is
accessory to climb. This has been said
before. which only proves its truth.
The higher the peak the harder the
climb, o., .-.
Fame is q mountain top.
The climb to 1t Is not alone, or
chiefly, physical. but is none the less
arduous.
Despite the bricks thrown at the
United States senate-on account OF
the character or affiliations Of some Of
its members-it is perhaps the greatest
legislative body on earth.
Membership In 1t ia a station that
any normal man would wish to hold.
The other day l made up list Of
present United States senators, tabu-
latlng their educational advantages,
early public positions and other like
facts.
Most Of them were poor boys. While
more than half had college education.
many of these had to pay their own
way.
Forty per cent have been members
If state legislatures.
Now, membership In a state legis-
lature is not considered a particularly
lofty station. Some jokesmiths COM
pare going to the legislature with going
TO jail.
Yet, with the right sort Of man, serv-
Ice in legislature may not only be
worthy. service. but may be stepping
stone to something higher. gg8
Despise not the day of small begin
nings. x a.aaf
One of these senators states in. his
official biography that he has been
alumberjack. cowboy. clerk and cash
Ter In a store. newspaper reporter. hod-
carrier and lawyer" se. ...
This recalls a similar statement by
the present speaker Of the national
house of representatives. who says
that he worked as a hired farmland,
clerked In a country store. edited
country newspaper and practiced law"
These men are not ashamed of their
humble origin. They are proud Of 1t.
They have a right to be proud.
1t shows the length Of the climb.
The man who Is ashamed Of small
beginnings may have real cause for
shame of his smaller ending.
Abraham Lincoln worked as a hired
farmland, clerked In a country store
and also served In the state legislature.
Has he not made small beginnings
honorable?
The Prince of Peace was born In
stable and worked as a carpenter.
It is not the depth from which we
start that tells the tale.
1t Is our ability to climb.

Church Services
Methodist Church

What is religion? Not an evangel-
ical creed. Not attachment to party.
Not occasional aspirations after the
bliss of the righteous. Not union with
the church in participation of its or
|dinances. Not the favorable estima-
ton in which our religion is held by
others. Not a spirit Of zeal. Not ad-
miration OF the virtues of the good.
Not the possession of mere moral viz
tues.
Religion is an entire change Of char
acter. A new heart. Repentance
towards God, faith in our Lord Jesus
Christ, and obedience to the whole Of
the divine will. Love to God and
love to man. An imitation Of the Saw
tours example. An entire consecra-
ton of the heart to the Redeemer's
service. This religion commences in
our regeneration, is carried on by sane
LITIGATION Of the Holy Spirit, develops
its principles in all the engagements of
life, and is ultimately perfected in the
kingdom Of glory. This is religion.
It's the kind we are trying to teach
and live. If you will seek such re-
ligion come and worship with US every
Sunday. Max A. Jeffords, Pastor.

THE DIVINITY OF THE COMMON LIFE.

There are various kinds of snobbery,
but one of the worst Is that which af-
fects to despise common things.
Abraham Lincoln, who had not
shred of the snob in his makeup, once
said. "The Lord must love the COM
mon people: he made so many OF
them"
On it's face that appears a wttdcism.
Look deeper and you may see In 1t q
profound philosophy.
That which is most common Is most
universal, and that which is most uni
yersal is most divine.
Think 1t over. g
Not only 80, but that which Is most
common is often most beautiful
What is more lovely than the rose'
the grass, the trees. the sky. the sea or
the stars?
They are all common.

poems are those built about the home

of mother and child, Of country, OF
