oriain Of the Word pagan"

The Latin word from which pagan is
derived originally meant IA fountain or
up around it. and finally the residents
of the village. As Christianity took
strong root at first in the large centers
of population ana the worship of the
pagan deities fingered longest In the
country and among the country vii
lagos, it came to be understood that
pagan or yillager was. in virtue of
his residence. a worshiper of the old
gods. and thus the term acquired its
present significance.

Are You Looking Old?

Old age comes quick enough with
out inviting it. Some look old at for

liver and bowels. Keep your bowels
regular and your liver healthy and
you will not only feel younger but

constipation or biliousness take

and are excellent. Easy to take and
most agreeable in effect. Obtainable

SCISSOR Is one that ought not to be
changed each year. unless for incom-
potency. as the experience gained will
be valuable asset in his favor for a
continuance.
The question of how to assess mon
eys and credits is very intricate one
for if You assess them at 100 cents on
the dollar, there would not be old
stockings sufficient In the whole coun-
try to bury them in out of sight, and
as for making the assessment only 5
mills on the dollar you might as we'll
make no assessment at all Then again
1t is claimed If you raise the assess
ment it will advance the rate of inter-
est and cause hardship to the bor-
rover, but these land reserve banks
will obviate that to some extent
While have mentioned but a very
few of the defects existing in the pres
ent law l expect to take up the mat
ter still further in future article
l might say right here that l think
that the legislature made mistake In

Niagara Falls Is huge volume Of
noise entirely surrounded by brides and
bridegrooms. It is popular place to
spend a vacation. for the tired business
man cannot hear his wife's voice for
several days and returns to his work In
a contented and satisfied mood.
These falls are said to be the great
est in American history, being exceeded
only by the fall of the Progressive party
and the fall of the late Benedict Ar
mold, who fell quite distance at the
end of a hemp rope. This work of ma :
ture is caused by a large body of green
water leaping off precipice feet
first and falling upon the open mouth
ed tourist in a wet state. 1t is a grand
sight to stand under these falls in a
rented macintosh and see them land
on the outstretched neck of some tour
Isl who does not want to miss any
thing.
Our school books relate that Isaac
Newton, who discovered the law Of
gravitation as the result of being pune
tured by Ben Davis apple. was much
gratified that Niagara Falls fell down
instead of up, thereby proving his the
DRY to the satisfaction of any fair
minded man. Nobody ever rode over
Niagara Falls in a bathing suit and
kerosene barrel, for vaudeville pur-
poses without being convinced that
there is something in the law of grav-
ity and also that it is a pleasing and
successful form, of death.
The falls at Niagara are supported
by natural stone arch and the sweet
faced bridegroom, who learns for the
first time that two can live as cheaply
as one. This is a valuable lesson, and
can be learned after a short stay at the
falls and intimate contact with the no.

Wasted Emotions.

1t is not what we have, but what we
do with what we have, that determines
our success in life. Great privileges
are no advantage to the man who does
not make working capital out Of them
Unworked, they become stumbling
blocks. This is true socially as well as
individually. A city, a society may be
blessed with uncommon privileges and
world Even great church may exist
and do no great good.
In every large city there are churches
uncommonIy we'll endowed with wealth
and with ministers of unusual powers.
1t is no mean privilege to listen to ser
mons by such men. The sermons are
inspiring. The people who listen are
filed with an inspiration sufficient at
least to call forth remarks regarding
the beauty and uplift Of the address.
The speaker may be congratulated on
hi, splendid effort. The hearers deter
mine to come again, and they do come.
A great speaker fills the pews and
keeps them full. But aside from good,
attendance at church and good feel.
ing in the pews the effect of this great
expenditure of money and effort seems
pitifully small.
And it Is small. Going out for inspir-
alton and coming home to let it ooze
away is not worth much as an enter
prise. It Is form of dissipation that
must soon wreck mans power to do
good. Such church going becomes the
same in effect as theater going, where
men and women pay admission for the
pleasure of having their emotions
aroused. Such attendance on church
service should not be credited to man
for piety, but debited to him for enter
tainment. 1t is high form Of enter

Inspiration Is for service. An emo
ton is legitimate only as it moves the
will to act. Tears shed over novel. q
play or a sermon are not bottled in
heaven. A cup Of cold water unto one
of the least Of these, my brethren" will
water more thirsty soil in the kingdom
of heaven than whole thankful Of easy
tears.
The man who is up1ifted by a Sunday
sermon should remain nplifted so that
you can notice it at the office on Mon
day. Otherwise the labor of lifting him
is lost. No man can say after hearing
a sermon that he is better man for 1t
until he has shown some service to
prove it. No member of the human
race is harder to rouse to Christian
service than the entertained pew-sitter.

Bishop Stuntz and the church con-
ferences insist that the Harding car is

that way. But the practical politi-
clan must go with his crowd wherever

COMPARING ENDORSEMENTS"

A Methodist bishop isn't usually bad
political or social company and Bishop
Homer c. Stuntz is deemed especially
good company in Iowa. 81
Bishop Stuntz is particularly plain
and definite on the important subject
of Mr.. Harding's candidacy for COVER
nor of Iowa. He speaks out of his ac-
quaintance with the candidate and
says:
My own acqua intance with Mr..
Harding convinces me that ne does not
merit the support of Iowa voters
4 have known him for twenty years
and l know that he trims and straddles
on the liquor question. His influence
is quietly thrown to the liquor inter-.
ests.
Iowa can not afford to support a
man who stands on the fence on such
vital issues. The election of Harding
would have an evil effect on the cause
Of prohibition in Iowa for the next
twenty five years.
Il am no longer citizen of Iowa.
but if | were l could not vote for W.
L. Harding for governor. Most of ms
acquaintance in this state have the
same opinion
Bishop STUNTS contribution to the
campaign will have widespread effect
among the members of the Methodist
church, which he heads in Iowa and
Nebras ska, among members of other
churches than his own and with al.
thoughtful people whether or not they
are communicates of any church. l.:
has a value all its own because it is
the expression Of human welfare as
against party expediency. Whether its
effect upon the vote of the state will be
greater than the wholesale indorse-
meut offered by Kenyon and the
grudging Endorsement granted by Cum
minis remains TO be decided by the
counted ballots but the difference in
the positions Of :he leaders of party
and the leader Of the church must be
considered. The pressure on each
party leader, responsible for party or
ganization and dependent perhaps for
reelection and retention If such lead
ership on party regularity" feels that
he must support party above all else.
1t requires a very brave man to say
as a political leader what he says pri-
yately as TO the character and OUTLOOK
of nominee of his own party. The
common expression is "he has to do it.
In strict party politics nomination
covers a multitude Of sins. He is on
the ticket" is assumed to be an answer
to the temperance man who raises OBJ
lection to a booze candidacy Inc
pressure comes stronger from another
direction in the case of this Methodist
bishop. He is a leader in human well
faro when he asserts that he knows
Harding for score Of years, that Har-
ding quietly throws his influence to
the liquor interests he has answered
the question before it is asked He can
not as a consistent man support Har-
ding. His choice is between stead
fast principle and the shifts OF 'practi-
cal politics" between that which ne
teaches as best and that which his
faith and his manhood condemn as bad.
Every mans vote is his own. 1t is not
| the pawn and plaything OF any politi-
clan or a jackstraw in the games OF
political leaders and bosses. II is his
vote. He can vote it as he prays OF
hand it over to be raised barrier
