Her voice rings shrilly on the frosty

The forest leaves are blushing red

October comes. her nose is sharp and

THE WRONG MEDICINE.

A linotype operator at Council
Bluffs was fined $500 in the fedora
court the other day. He had ordered
some patent medicine by mail and
failed TO get it. In letter TO the pos
tai authorities at Washington he ex-
pressed his mind freely and TO the
extent that, according TO an Iowa City
dispatch he got under P. NJ. G. Bur
lesons collar" with the above result.
1t is safe to assume that his Ian
guage was plain and pointed. In or
der 10 stir high official to such re-
sentiment he must have talked turkey
like a bronze gobbler.
Probably he was newspaper limo
typist and sherlocking back from his
place OF residence we may deduct my
dear Watson. that he may have been
employed on the Nonpareil. If so that
would explain much The man was
used TO setting up hot stuff When he
got busy with the P. NJ. G. he talked
to him like the NonpareiI talks to
Harding
However $500 seems high price for
the privilege Of putting on paper what
a great many farmers along mail
routes are wasting on the air. If Bur-
Lesson and the postal department want
to know jus, how fast and close to
the point an Iowan can carry the Eng
lish language they should take a trip
along some Of the "reorganized" mail
routes.
Anyhow what is this country coming
to when man who has lost his patent
medicine can't speak his mind to the
postmaster either local or general?
What's a postmaster and a p. m. g. for
anyway?
AS suggestion: why not get the
patent medicine by express? Other
medicinal and joyous stuff for inter-
nal consumption comes along on time
by that route in many cases.
The Council Bluffs man seems to
have finally got his medicine. 1t was
not what the doctor ordered but he'll
have to take it.

itself an obligation. The blessings
must be shared If they are to continue
blessings.
And this is true in whatever degree
it may have place. The debt holds in
Marshalltown as at 26 Broadway, N.
Y. in every village as in Marshalltown
those who by the favor of intellect or
ability or industry or thru popular
places of eminence must render back
to Caesar that which is Caesars, to
God that which is His and to their
communities that which is, by the
highest sense of obligation and right
eousness, the community's.
There IS much OF the nnearned in
crement in success. No man is sue
cessful of himself No man grows
wealthy or powerful thru his own un-
aided efforts. The whole community
contributes. Thus ne owes the com
as righteously as the workman holds
a lien against the house he helped to
build. So these men owe.
The later sense of religion in these
later days is summed up in service.
We have long accepted as true that
men owe to hospitals and schools and
Libraries. Long ago we expressed that
sense of obligation to the schools in
the laws that made free schools and
by major force collects the debt that
all property owes to every child born
into the world. Perhaps some day we
shall go farther and collect by force
majeure other debts owing and uncol-
lectible as yet except thru sense of
duty or some other less admirable i'm
pulse results in contributions to a
public good.
To create a public playground for
children is an act Of piety and good
citizenship: a charitable association
that is charitable in intent and execu-
ton as in name is of the essence OF
good citizenship and real religion. The
two are not to be separated for good

1ns FIFTY NILE ROUTE NO Joke.

The Perry Chief says that within a
few weeks the ffty-mile mail route
will be great Joke.
If SO it will be like many practical
jokes. serious instead of funny.
The farmer who finds himself un-
able to receive his mail in time to per-
nit his markets to be of use to him
except as history of prices forty
eight hours old will be unable to see
the ridiculous and laughable aspect Of
the joke.
The carrier who strives to make a
fifty mile drive daily will not crack a
smile The animals he drives will in
duige in no horse laughter.
Somehow it is hard to imagine the
hiiarity OF the farmer whose mail box
is located at the cross roads mile
rier can not arrive before dark. 1t is
also hard TO understand the value or
the efficiency of such a route under
such circumstances
ne twenty-five mile route is long
enough over an Iowa road when the
roads are in fair condition 1t is in
termnable under bad conditions When
the sun shines and the highway re-
Gently dragged unrolls under the feet
of the carriers horse in a season Of
fine summer weather, optimism might
consider a fifty-mile route But the
winter route would take the smile off
the face of the most optimistic and
ignorant inspector ever sent over the
routes in the spasm of "reorganiza-
ton" that threatens the value of rural
mail delivery.
There are things that cant be did,"
or being done might IS we'll have been
let alone. There are seasons in Iowa
and most other middle west states
when a 1fty-mile mail route will be
not a joke but an insult
Iowa has begun to make better
roads Given fiye-year period of de-
velopment of highways and the fifty
mile route is entirely feasible. AT
present 1t is no joke but inevitably an
assault upon an established and high
~ necessary public service. If it is a
| joke it is on the public service.

IN THESE LATER DAYS.

1t has come to be that an act Of
piety need not be entirely an act of
sacrihce. or later years we have ar
rived at the knowledge that men may
be happy though religious and pleas
ant though believers In Gods word.
For 1t Is OF later years that smiles and
joility have been admitted to the in
ner shrine of complete righteousness.
Moreover in these later days we have
learned that men may be strict {, the
letter of the law and still be pharisees:
that men may be somewhat slack as
to the letter of the law and still be ac-
lively and effectively righteous. The
fact is that we have learned more
about the real relationship between
man and mis- Elder Brother Jesus and
less Of the fear Of an angry Jehovah
From out this knowledge has grown
sense OF community responsibility
and the active principle Of the truth
that we are our brothers helper
rather than his keeper is making way.
We have found that it is not sacrilese
to smile on a sinner or to love those
who need kindness more than the
curses pronounced upon the wicked.
Like Donald Menzies In that great
book of Watson's, THE Bonnie Brier
Bush" when the old Scottish minister
was solemnly recounting the curses
and the blessings Of the word and
asking his congregation which will We
choose we say with Donald: Here's
a man who has deserved all the curses
| and who chooses all the blessings
So in these later days We are seek

AN Sorts Of Opinion,
Can a Greed Grew?
TZion's Herald


One sometimes hears the expression
'.our growing creed" Can, creed
grow? Not in the sense that eternal
truth can be added or subtracted from
by the ingenuity Of human speculation
or the devices Of scientific research.
That God Is holy. that Jesus Christ IS
divine. are not truths that fluctuate acc
cording to the ups and downs OF theo-
logical teaching. But creed can grow
in the experience of a man himself.
1t is possible for the human mind mora
and more to grasp the Significance OF
eternal truths. and with increasing eff
feet to state them for the benefit of its
fellow-men. Our views OF the gospel
verities may enlarge and deepen and
heighten as, taking advantage OF the
scholarship and spiritual experiences OF
these who precede us in history. we
mount to higher plane of thought and
living. and SO glimpse Himalayan
ranges whose existence was only a
name or even unguessed before. II we
want to grow we may obtain all the
growth desirable in measuring up more
fully to the Alpine attitudes charted by
Christ and His apostles.
