most pathetic phases of our common
humanity. Still there Is a constantly
increasing number of men and wom-
en- who believe that if they do what
is about right in this world it will be
all right with them in the world to
Come-and there is even an i~ncreas-

Thomas A. Edison, the genius of the
inventive world, who do not believe
there is any world to come at all and
so there Is no use notifying the flesh
in this to gain the next. They say
that the rewards in this world for
good living are sufficient to warrant
a man in doing his best and living

WHAT o 1T?
Discussion of This Life and the Life
to Come.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Republican: 1t
Is a queer world and humanity is a
strange problem. Most of us still be-
lieve that the really important thing
is not this life, but the future life.
That is what we must live for, and
to attain 1t is the end of religious
teachings. Most of us still believe
that we must do certain things to
win from God the favor of happiness
in the future life. The Interpreters
of Gods will in such matters are le-
gion, and hardly two of them are
agreed. Some say we must bow so
many times and others that we must
believe certain things. and II we
cannot reason ourselves into that be-
lief then we must excite ourselves
into it-strIggling until we break
down our own Wills.
The work must be kept up con-
stantly, necessarily. or men will slip
from their spiritual moorings so far
that when they come to die God will
not know them. 1t Is one OF the

A SWEAR IN VOTE
Registration Not Necessary to Cast
Ballot Next Tuesday.

Pierre, Oct. 31.-voters who were
not registered at the primary cleo
ton in the spring and have not voted
at municipal OF township elections
since, may cast their ballot at the
general election Tuesday by swear
ing in their vote. In order to do this
they must be identified by two wit
nesses.
Many have registered during the
last few days and the prospects are
that there will not be many who will
need to swear in their votes, as the
lists of the last election are used,
| while the registration in the country
for the primaries was almost com
plete.
People who have changed voting
| precincts must also swear in their
| votes in the new precincts If they
have not registered.
Those who will not be at home on
election day, but will be some other
place in the state may vote on thai
day providing they secure the appli-
cation and ballot from the county
auditor and vote before the city au-
ditor or clerk in the place where they
go. The ballots must be voted sc
that they can be given to the election
judges when the polls open Tuesday
morning.

turned to the capital yesterday, after
a speaking trip through the southern

rural assembly place about six miles
from Viborg, where he had one of the
best meetings Of his trip. The hall
