The true christian way is help the
poor and needy, because the love Of
Christ impels one to.
One of those sitting at the table with
Jesus and hearing the wonderful
words He spoke setting forth such
fine honorable ideal of living, cried
out, Blessed is he that shall eat
bread in the kingdom Of God" This
is the feeling of every one who is
knowing to the gospel of Jesus Christ
in its truth. Under it's teachings hat
red, selfshness, self seeking are ban
ished away and in their places come
love. humility, gentleness. kindness.
Well can one exclaim, BLESSED are
those whose lives are ruled by these
latter things"
This was not all said at this time.
Jesus told of a man who made a feast
and invited his friends and neighbors
who usually came to his home. These
one and all made trivial excuses for
not attending when the time came.
Thereupon the giver of the supper di-
rected that even the highways be
searched for guests, declaring that
none OF Lue lOFIleTly invited ones
should be allowed there. Of course
this latter talk was first directed at
the people about Him who were given
the first chance to believe on His
name and become His followers.
Warning was given them that if they
rejected Him the time would come
when there would be no chance for
them to accept.
The lesson of this week thus teach
es us to beware of self exaltation, but
to have humble spirit. 1t also tells
us that the highest christian spirit
does not shower favors on those who
can return in kind, but rather calls
for remembrance of the poor and
needy, leaving the matter of recon-
pense to God in final judgment. The
desira bility of being part of the
Kingdom of God" is set forth and
the warning given that there can come
a time when Gods invitation into this
kingdom can be sighted for the last
time, and there be no chance for fur
Their acceptance.

coNGREssMEN EAT TOO MUCH

The question is being agitated ir
Washington as to what plan can be
adopted to best prevent congressman
and cabinet members from wasting
their energies at late suppers ant
loss Of sleep. A good deal of crit
cism is lodged against our statesmen
of late because of dissipation in the
way of dinners and keeping late hours
1t is said that there is talk Of cur
few for the benefit of those who rep,
resent the people.
1t is remarkable fact that great
many statesmen are handicapped in
in their work in the national capital
by the practice of eating too
much and sleeping too little, and
doubtless reform of this kind would
prove benefit to the people at large.
1t is rare thing that a member OF con-
gress can find an opportunity to be
temperate in what he eats and in the
hours he devotes to sleep, and we are
in favor of a curfew if it will result
in changing the practice of these Of
fcers, as it is of no benefit to those
who indulge in it and a positive harm
to the isterests of the people at large.

men as Speaker Clarke, Oscar Under.
wood the majority leader on the floor
of the house of representatives, Fitz
gerald, chairman of the committee on
appropriations and a number of others
are arrayed against the president on
this question.
1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Wilson
that this division has come about, be-
cause with such men opposed to him
on this question it will encourage
others to grow more independent OF his
leadership and it would not be sur
prising if before his term expires he
found such division in his party as
that he would meet opposition for the
nomination to succeed himself The
probabilities are that the President
will win out and secure a majority
in favor of the repeal of the present
law, but the question will remain as
to whether his victory will be of any
permanent benefit to him.

FRANK WOODS sAGAcITY

If anyone doubts the public sagacits
of Frank P. Woods, he should reat
some of the letters which come from
the office OF this distinguished states
man In which he, through the guist
OF expressing his solitude for thu
welfare OF his constituents and hi
desire to serve in every way possible
will find that the communications are
the most adroit public documents
which could be sent out under the
frank OF the congressman. 1t does
not require one endowed with super.
Tor wisdom to read between the lines
that these letters are a bid for public
support and all that because the con.
gresham has the help of his clerk in
printing them and enclosing them in
an envelope for mailing, as they are
sent out under the frank of the con
gresham himself
We do not wish our congressman
any harm, but do sincerely hope that
the opposition may stir him to greater
activity in proving himself a states
man and doing the things that states
man should do. The talk of remov-
ing him from the congressional COM
mittee has had tendancy to weaken
him some in the estimation of the peo-
pie aud if he is defeated the fact that
he has failed to impress himself upon
his party will have something 70 do
with his failure. The situation grows
more interesting every day in view
of the fact that other candidates are
making bold 10 announce themselves
and there is prospect for spirited
campaign.
Tie latest reports are that the
wiley congressman is not to have a
walk away in the contest this year,
that opposition has already been an
nounced against him for the nomina-
tiOn and conditions are such that the
democrats will certainly nominate
their strongest man in the district
to oppose him at the election. The
progressive candidate already an
nouuced is Judge w. B. Quarton of
Alsona, Kossuth county. Judge Quar-
ton Is an old hand at the political game
and stands well with the farmers, and
no doubt will control large following
at the polls. He will make a speak
ing campaign and in this respect will
hold over our present congressman.
Elk Senator Olson of Fl. Dodge is
slated for the democratic nomination
and is a Norwegian with splendid
recotd behind him for efficiency in

DEMOCRATS DIVIDED
ON PANAMA TOLLS

TIE debate on the exemption OF

has developed very large division
in the democratic party. Mr.. Wilson
has found his party quite unanimous
with him on every other public issue
whtci. has arisen during his admins
tratiou, but on this question some
members of his party are firm
and no amount of persuasion or
coercion seems to have any in

ocrafs who have convictions of their
own upon the question.
Tae platform of the democratic
party favors the exemption of tolls
for American vessels engaged IN

members recognize their duty to stand
