Jesus And Social Unrest.
Crowding still closer home to our
twentieth century, in this connection
Is the tremendous truth that the final
utterances of Jesus were concerned
largely with whatAour own day calls.
Complementary, "the social problem"
Questions of social Justice, of employer
and employed, Of charity. of corrupt
ed church, OF personal ambition in re-
lation to group fellowship, of loyalty
to the state, and Of the MAYNARD side
of godliness-all these bulked big In
the farewell! utterances of Jesus.
Anybody who thinks that the socia!
aspects of Christianity are modern
notion has but to read the utterances
of our Lord during the two weeks i'm
mediately preceding his crucif1xion for
all the social programs which the great
ecclesiastical gatherings have formu-
lated, and which the prophets of our
day have so powerfully championed.
The leaven of the days social unrest
may be found in the gospel Of Christ.
A single word Is to fly on the white
nag of the Christmas ship that will
bear the gifts and greetings of Amerl-
eau children to million orphans made
by the cruel war; and that word will
be "Inasmuch" The newspaper editor
who conceived the plan is no preacher,
but he knows the tremendous import
of that word of Jesus, "Inasmuch as

THE LAST GREAT ARBITRAMENT.
The international Sunday School Les
son for September 81 is "Jesus The
Judge Of Men," John 3:1421: a
Quarterly Review.
BY William r. Ellis.
tREvIEW OF SUNDI

Like all other truths with which he
dealt, Jesus made this one personal to
the conduct of men and women. He
offered it as an argument for repen.
lance. why not"-so in effect ran his
reasoning-"anticipa the unacceptable
judgment day by amending your con-
duct now? Then it will be too late to
change your course: now Is your OPP.
portunity, revealed by the awful light
which streams from the Judgment
seat"
For a time sin may seem to pros
per; but in the end it Is the one sure
failure of the universe. There Is a
way that seemeth right to man, but
the ends thereof are the ways of
death" Life may not be judged, runs
this philosophy, by an uncompleted
portion: we must see the whole before
we can pass verdict. That Is why
the light of the Judgment day Is best
for testing 1t is as absurd to measure
a life by short period of prosperity
as it was for the allies to exult over
the resistance of the forts of Liege as
though that were the last word in the
great war.
When Pooh.Poohed Principles Prevail.
One spectacular phase of the clos
ing days of earthly ministry of Jesus
was the day in which the crowd, from
the temple. officials down to the street
rabble, thought they were Judging this
radical Rabbi from Nazareth; whereas,
as all the world now knows, they were
being judged by him.
Similarly, principles long flouted
eventually judge all men. For mil.
leniums world peace was thought the
fad Of fanatics, the dream of mystics
who heard angels singing in the skies:
now, the most materialistic historian
or philosopher void not dream of writ
ing down scheme Of government for
the world which did not postulate uni
versal peace. Likewise, equal rights
for all men and women, the abolition
of slavery. the triumph of temperance,

JEFF SAYS:

When the republicans are in
power in Washington, the country
runs along and you never hear
anything bein' sed about them
havin' to worry about how to meet
expenses. But jes as soon as us
democrats get in, and puts our
business plans in operation, the
government runs short of money
and we have to talk about issuin'
bonds or levyin' tax-coz we
have to have money to git meal
tickets fer'us offs holders, even If
us democrats do have to admit
that our business ideas are fale-
yures.

PROPOSED ROAD
HAS OPPOSITION
RESIDENT OF ROCK BLUFFS RE-
GlON HOLDS PROPOSITION
is IMPRAcTlcABLE.

That the projected new road along
the south bank Of the river from the
Blackhawk street bridge to point just
above Rock Bluffs and thence to Chill
licothc is not meeting with unanimous
approval is apparent from the protest
filed recently by twenty-four residents
and farm owners along the route af-
fected by the proposed change.
1T is evident" said one of these resi-
dents today, that the majority Of the
people who signed the petition for the
new road are not familiar with the con-
ditions along the south bank of the
river in the bottoms through which the
road would have to pass or they would
not consent to spending the county's
money on so impracticable project.
On last Saturday, September 10, the
bottoms were under water for fully half
the distance between the Blackhawk
bridge and Rock Bluffs, while the river
was washing the base of the Bluffs
themselves so closely that not even a
bride path would have been possible at
this point The water was so high at
the Bluffs that the boat landing there
was torn loose and floated down the
river The stage at the Market street
bridge last Saturday was only little
more than IL feet, stage the river
reaches on an average of twice year
and this is not considered high water.
If the west dam had not been out at
this time the water above the dams
would have been more than a foot high
er and the resulting overflow Of the
bottoms that much greater
mo road through these bottoms
would be fit to travel more than few
months each year unless it were raised
above ordinary high water and to do
this and provide the proper bridges and
n,,1x re fha rnnntv from
eight to ten thousand dollars, besides
neat sum each year for maintenance
owing to the ravages from floods. Half
mile of the proposed road runs
through deep sand impossible for au-
tomobiles and loaded wagons and the
rest of it is through the overflow bot
toms.
IF one third the amount Of money
necessary for the new road were to be
spent on the present highway it could
be made one of the best roads In the
county. The erection of one bridge and
some grading on two of the hills would
make fine road that would be in good
condition every day in the year. This
road passes directly along the Rock
Bluffs park land and gives access to the
park both on top of the bluff and at its
base along the river. At compare.
lively small expense it could be made
as fine highway as the present Blue
Grass road from Ottumwa to Blakes.
burg and the fine views it affords would
undoubtedly make it favorite drive
Tor the city people.
I'VE people who live out in this sec
ton and know the situation are GER
tainly opposed to wasting the tax pay
ers' money on any impracticable new
road when only moderate improvement
of the old road would furnishfa better
highway for all concerned"

CUTTING EXPENDITURES.

Various cities along the Mississippi
river, whose interests to a consider
able extent were in sympathy with
the pork barrel bill just defeated in
the senate of the United States,
found it hard to say anything in favor
of the bill. Not few OF them
tried to turn off the attack by
announcing that if the desire was to
cut down governmental expenditures,
why not start in on some really
abused thing like the franking priv
lege.
Now that the "pork" bill is beaten
cut from the original estimate OF
nearly hundred millions to twenty
millions-it would not be amiss to
take up the matter of governmental
expenditures in general and cut the
pork out of them all. The franking
privilege is SO VIGOROUSLY misused
that it needs no exposition. Congress
could save huge sum by stopping
the practice of congressman sending
out their campaign and other private
matter under their franks. A new
lead was opened up yesterday when
representative Fitzgerald, chairman
of the house appropriations commit
tee, called upon the heads of the vari-
GUS governmental departments to cut
their requests for appropriations to
the amounts actually required. Evi-
IDENTITY the practice has been to get
more than was actually required. With
congress now undertaking to raise by
direct taxation hundred million dol
lars to provide for a coming deficit in
the governments revenue, a little
economy in expenditure or at least
a cutting down Of the extras is GER
tainly in order
