HI INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

President Wilson's inaugural address strength
ems the belief of his friends that his coming into
the presidency marks the beginning of an epoch.
Scholarly Of course the address is, and able.
But its most marked features are its candor and
feeling, its appeal to the better sense and better
feeling of the country.
It's quality is best shown by quoting its words:
''This change of control means much more than
the mere success of a party. The success OF a
party means little except when the nation is using
that party for a large and definite purpose. No
one can mistake the purpose for which the nation
now seeks to use the Democratic party. 1t seeks
to use it to interpret a change in it's own plans and
point of view.
Some old things with which we had grown ia
miliar, and which had begun to creep into the very
habit of our thought and of our lives, have altered
their aspect as we have latterly looked critically
upon them, with fresh. awakened eyes; have
dropped their DISCUSSES and shown themselves alien
and sinister. , ,
Some new things, as we look frankly upon
them, willing TO comprehend their real character,
have come to assume the aspect OF things long be-
lieved in and familiar, stuff of our own convictions.
We have been refreshed by a new insight into our
own life"
This is the high enterprise of the new day; to
lift everything that concerns our human life as a
nation to the light that shines from the hearthfire
of every mans conscience and vision of the right
1t is inconceivable that we should do this as parti'
sans; it is inconceivable W e should do it in Ignorance
of the facts as they are or in blind haste. We
shall restore, not DESTROY. We shall deal with oul
economic system as it is and as it may be modified
not as it might be if we had a clean sheet of paper
to write upon; and step by step we shall make II
what it should be, in the spirit of those who ques-
ton their own wisdom and seek counsel and knowl
edge, not shallow dissatisfaction or the excite
ment of excursions whittier they cannot tell. Js
tice. and only justice, shall always be our motto
The conclusion is especially fine
This is not a day of triumph; it is a day 0
dedication. Here muster, not the forces of party,
but the forces of humanity. Mems hearts wait up
on US; mems lives hang in the balance; men
hopes call upon us to say what we will do. Who
shall live up to the great trust? Who dares fail tt
try? l summon all honest men, all patriotic, al
forward lookipg, men to my side, God helping me
will not fail them, If they will. but counsel -an(
sustain me!'

THE WEBB BILL.

The Webb bill seems to be much misunderstood
by presidents, senators, congressman, preachers,
blind-tigers and the common people sometimes re-
ferred' to as consumers. Some think it strikes a
death blow to the whiskey traffic and others that it
does not amount to a hill of beans. Some think it
rankly unconstitutional and others the contrary.
Without criticising or defending the law or sup
porting or denying its constitutionality, it may be
said that its sole effect is to prohibit the shipment
of liquor into a state for a purpose illegal in that
state. 1t not being illegal to drink lntoxicants in
Mississippi it is perfectly legal to ship or receive
liquor here to be drunk by the consignee, but lille
gal under the Webb law, to ship or receive liquor
shipped here to sell. The only penalty is %confisca-
ton of the liquor. Congressman Webb of North
Carolina is the author of the bill.

The community was shocked Thursday afternoon to learn
of the sudden death of Mr.. Charles B. Williams. 1t was
only a few months ago that he was happily united in mar
rage to one of Noxubee's worthiest daughters, Miss Bessie
Price, and moved from Gadsden. Alabama, to the old Price
place near Prairie Point. Shortly before his marriage he
suffered a severe attack of la grippe, from which he never
recovered. In fact his health steadily declined and though
his death was sudden, it was known that his health was very
poor.
MIR. Williams was an attorney by profession and contem-
Mated practicing law in Macon if his health had been re-
stored. He has been confined to the house all the time he
has lived in the county, SO few of our people know him. The
sympathy of a large number Of friends goes out to his dis
tressed widow.
His remains were inferred at Odd Fellows cemetery
Friday afternoon.

SENATOR WILLIAMS.

John Sharp Williams was not made a member
of Wilson's cabinet. That he was considered for
a place and considered worthy of any of the port
foios goes without saying. The place in which he
can best serve the country is in the Senate and
hardly a day passes that he does not demonstrate
the fact. This week he saved to the lower Missis-
sippi Valley the six million dollar appropriation
for the river improvement. Newlands of Nevada
and Carter of Montana-there is no navigable
stream in either state-planned to flibuster and
thus defeat this six million dollar item, whereupon
Senator Williams gave notice that without this
item the entire appropriation bill would be held up
and defeated. His warning was sufficient and the
opposition was withdrawn.

Senator Vardaman walked down the senate
aisle arm in arm with Senator Williams to take his
oath as senator. If he will keep arm in arm with
John Sharp all the time he is in the senate it will
be a great thing for the state and the country
and for Vardaman, too.

to telephone to the electric company,

MODERN ADJUSTMENTS
MANAGED BY CHURCH
IS PASTORS THEORY
Gymnasium, Moving Pictures
and Theatricals and Doors
Open Always.

Webster City. Ia. May 1.-The mod
ern church ought to have not only Il
gymnasium but motion picture room
and stage. Also II ought to be open
all week. So says the Rev. Arthur
Metcalf, pastor of the Congregational
church in this city and formerly min
lister OF Des Moines church. Rev.
Mr. Metcalf holds that if the churches
of the land would do their duty, Y. NJ.
c. A. buildings and Y. NJ. G. A. work
would be unnecessary. The modern
views of this Webster City pastor have
created nothing short of sensation
in some circles I'm the city. On the
other hand, In other quarters they are
warmly commended
Rev. Mr.. Metcalf's views on what the
modern church ought to be. followed
series of Sunday evening lectures he
has just concluded on Modern Social
Conditions." Rev. Mr.. Metcalf is par
ucularly hard on the attitude of the
present church toward amusements.
He holds the church is derelict in it's
duty of furnishing proper and whole
some amusement for the people. He
believes the amusement field the proper
sphere for the church instead of turn
Ing 1T over to outsiders to operate as
sordid money making proposition. He
contends that modern churches ought
to have social room. gymnasium.
motion picture room and stage for
the purpose of presenting high class
plays. He would direct the amusement
tendency upward in this manner in
stead of downward. as happens i'm
many an amusement field where the
managers pander to lower instincts of
men. Rev. MIR. Metcalf also believes
that the modern church should be open
every day of the week instead of
dark" every day except Sunday. He
gives the Y. M. c. AS of the country
great credit for giving wholesome en-
tertainments. providing gymnasiums
etc. but he believes that If the church
did it's duty by the people it would
fill the field of the Y. NJ. c. A.
Rev. Mr.. Metcalf does not generalize
in his statements, but comes out in
favor of church of this kind in Web
ster City. The Congregationalists here
expect to build a fine new church soon
and he expresses the hope that the
new structure will. be thoroughly
equipped for the work he recommends
and feels that If it does so the amuse-
ment question will he largely solved in
Webster City, Rev. Mr.. Metcalf's posi-
ton is causing no end of comment and
discussion over the city, and before the
new church is erected the member
ship will be thoroughly canvassed to
ascertain whether the new structure
shall be Rev. Mr.. Metcalfs modern
church, OF just another present day
