DEFEATS EAST UNION FIVE.
Marshalltown Takes Hard-Fousht
Game by Score of SO to 80.

Marshalltown Takes Hard-Fousht
Game by Score Of SO to SO.
By a magnificent rally in the last
ten minutes Of the game, and by
grand basket work on the part Of Glenn,
a fresh man sent into the game late,
the Marshalltown basketball five was
able to defeat the fast Union five on
the Union floor Thursday evening by
q score of SO to 80. The unusually long
and narrow floor accounted for the
high score. q
Glenn turned probable defeat into a
victory In the last few minutes OF the
game when he found the basket in six
consecutive trials. Pemberton played
steller game. missing but two free
throws during the period OF playing.
The entire Marshalltown team played
fast, snappy basketball, and every man
/ had one, or more baskets to his credit.
Pyles and Davis stored for Union,
each scoring six baskets. The team
work of the Union five was good, but
Vogel was largely instrumental IN
breaking It up.
The Marshalltown team Is showing
vast Improvement and its class is
shown in comparative scores. Union
defeated the Albion FIVE. which earlier
in the season claimed q game from
Marshalltown by score OF 105 to 5,
on the Union floor. and s4ft to 3 at Al

Look Before You Leap

DURING the past six or eight
years I have frequently heard the
statement made that people had learn
ed a great deal more about Life In
surance than they used to know, and
that the Individual who had made up
his mind to insure his life was pretty
apt to Look Before He Leaped. My
have learned that all legal reserve or
So called "old line" companies, ARE
NOT "About the same" They have
learned that all of them DO NOT treat
all of their members in the same way,
and that all have not records extend
ing over q long series Of years OF
Square Deal to each policy holder,
whether he knew what was his dues
under his contract or not-such a rec
orl, for instance, as the Mutual Bene-
fit HAS. 1t Is a fact that the average
buyer Of Life Insurance buys from an
Agent who goes after him." regard
less of what company the Agent rep
resents, or the nature Of the contract
he sells. Comparatively few seem to
understand that while there Is little
difference in the net cost Of insurance
in any Of the old, established, legal re-
serve companies, there Is vast differ
ence in the Contracts. In view Of the
fact that the individual who buys the
insurance Pays the freight" 1t would
seem to be only common, business
sense for him to "Look Before He
Leaps" even though his own brother
was the Agent who first caused him to
become interested in life insurance:
The Mutual Benefit is recognized all
over the United States as being In a

Canned Editorials.-A gentleman re-
marked to lis a few days since that a
certain newspaper used canned edi-
torials. We inquired what kind of an
editorial a canned editorial was. He
stated that these productions were
furnished by some concern that had
them prepared to hand, and they
were sold to the newspapers. He
soon afterward picked up two news
papers and said, Look here, and
will show you. what a canned editorial
is" and he handed us two reputable
daily papers each of which had edito-
rials in the same days issues that
were exactly the same word for word.
One of these editorials was headed,
Hated by the World" the other was
headed, Railroad Mortgages" One
of these papers Is published in South
Carolina, the other Is published in an
other state, and both OF them cover
a part Of the same territory. Canned
editorials are of course much easier
for the editor to handle than it would
be for him to work out real live ones
from his own brain. but we greatly
prefer the latter, and we should think
that they are likely to be more adapt
ed to the situation than the ones that
are pulled out of can. And 1t Is a
question as to whether 1t Is exactly
right to use editorials prepared by q
syndicate.-Greenwo Journal.

nIng's Administration.
There are many rumors in circula-
tion to the effect that Governor Man
ming has lost ground. Perhaps no one
has travelled over the state more
thoroughly than has the writer Of this
editorial and he has inquired the rea-
son for the governors loss Of influ
ence. if there has been an appreciable
loss of influence. We found some dis
satisfaction in Anderson and Union
that may cause Mr. Manning some
concern. but we think that has been
were not his supporters last year. Mr.
Manning has lost some votes in every
county, perhaps. But that was to be
expected. No man can hold all Of his
supporters in line if he tries to ac-
complish anything; for those support
ers represent their occupations
tastes and viewpoints a great contra
riety Of sentiment, hence conflict OF
interests. Since each man feels more
than he thinks. there is inevitably some
disappointment however earnestly a
governor may strive to serve the best
interests Of the state.
Mr.. Manning has made some mis-
takes that show exceedingly bad
judgment. as his controversy with the
attorney general, in which the COVER
nor is badly in the wrong; in the ap-
pOintment Of DR.. Williams to the asy-
lum position at a salary double that al
lowed by law: in which case the gov
ernor's heart was right, but he had
overlooked the fact that such a course
would bring upon him. and deservedly
too, the censure Of those who regard
the salary of an official the proper con-

His "Personal Devil."-We have
been told about a prominent business
man in Cleveland who got religion,
as the phrase hath it. Billy Sunday
hadn't been there. and no sawdust
trail Of heaven had been laid out But
this fellow was convinced Of sin, new
ertheless.
After that, though he didn't become
a saint. he remembered his conversion
Whenever he fell from grace. which
was often. he said: That wasn't L
il was the devil" And he got so used
to laying his sins on satan that he
got to be a pest. So one day a neigh
Dor asked him:
How does it come that whenever
you do anything wrong, you blame 1t
on the devil?"
We'll, gee whiz!" answered the
saved soul. Amt that what he's
for?"

Germ Of the legislature, not the COVER
nor. Then, again, Mr.. Manning should
not have asked for or permitted the
special counsel fee. The attorney gen.
eral is the law officer and was elected
by the people. Furthermore the gov
ernor gave his sanction to an inquiry
in the guise Of local legislation rela-
tive to Clarendon county that was not
consonant with the just expectations
of right thinking people, and his rea-
son for approving a wholly improper
act did not control him when some
thing affecting the Sumter business
men came before him, though we
agreed with him in that instance.
But we have stated the case against
the governor Is there nothing In his
favor? There is. He has honestly
striven to enforce the law, and this Is
the chief function in his Office. He has
backed up the officers of the law and
has required them to take the initiat-
i've in bringing offenders to justice. He
acted like a man in the Charleston
trouble and probably prevented riot
and wholesale slaughter. We have in
formation that the arrival Of the mill
tia prevented a clash that needed but
the signal to begin staturnalia. He
has devoted his best thought and his
private means to the state. He has
fostered every institution and every
agency that we have for the education
of our boys and girls and for the de-
velopment Of our resources. He has
stood before us a man who has made
mistakes, but who honors his state in
the faithful performance Of his duty.
He is a Christian gentleman and fine
specimen Of our citizenship. We can
commend him because he deserves 1t.
We can forget the little mistakes in
the larger accomplishments for the
state. Whether Mr.. Manning Is re-
elected or whether he is defeated does
not alter this fact-he has tried to do
the right thing for the whole Of the
state. Made mistakes? Oh, yes! We
too, make them sometimes; don't you?

Receiving the Diseard.-One Of oui
trenches in the first line suddenly re-
ceived a fire Of shells. The occupants
perceived with distress that the pro-
jectiles came from the rear and were
from our own batteries.
The battery was telephoned: You
are firing upon us!"
Not at all. We are firing on the
German trench"
But we are getting all the pru-
neaux," (the prunes, that is the
shrapnel.)
AT what distance are you from
the German trench?"
Twenty meters"
The battery commander then re-
piled with mathematical sangfroid:
Twenty meters? All, you are prob
ably getting the discard!"-Le Cri dc
