Golf.


Who loves this game must be a man,
'Tis not craven's sport;
No cad, within its borders can
Hold his disgraceful court.
It's ways are gentle and refined,
But stern as life is stern,
And all it's honors are the kind
That only men can earn.
This game Of golf lifts men above
The sordid things and mean;
Who loves it, first must learn to love
The splendid joys and clean.
If he be selfish, vainly proud,
Stained with dishonor grim.
Or arrogant and overload.
Golf has no place for him.
And did some craven come to WOO,
Some thickly vanished soul,
That eyes of mortals saw not thru,
Sin stained and black as coal.
Yet hidden from the gaze of men
BY SNUG pretensions fair,
His record would be open then,
For golf would strip it bare.
Golf smiles on only what is best
Within the life of man;
1t Is of character a test
Deceive it no one can.
And who would pass beyond it's gate,
It's pleasures to pursue,
Must stand with head erect and
straight
And first Of all be true.

ERICH NAN, POOR MAN" ECI.

The expense accounts Of candidates
are affording much munitions Of war to
papers and persons opposed to a pri-
mary system and favorable to a return
worked so well in the dear old days
when a candidacy was useless without
an Endorsement from the commanding
generals Of corporations and special in
terests. Joe Allen spent more than
$4,000 and confesses to it. Harding
congresses to over $4,000 expended by
him and omniscience only knows now
much more was expended in his in
terests by others than himself.
Kuehnle's account runs about $4,000
and probably represents the cost of his
campaign. Cosson spent somewhere
close to $4,000.
1t aggregates lot of money, too
much money; but does any one imagine
that under the old caucus system if the
liquor interests had been fighting for
life in Iowa and other powerful inter-
ests had been supporting a candidate
pledged to themselves and their pur-
poses that the sums expended by the
candidates aggregating $4,000 In
round numbers-would have been con-
sidered as a drop in the bucket? The
zig sums EXPENDED by the principal
candidates make it look like rich
mans game. When was Harding con-
sidered rich man: he was first. Cos

the MARIETTA BILL OF RIGHTS.

In establishing community chau-
tauqua the Marietta Farmers Asso-
citation makes az announcement that
bears more on Improvement Of rural
life and it's conditions" than any COM
mission appointed by presidents or
governors. Listen:
Welcome to Marietta township, Mar
shall county. garden spot of Marshall
county as Marshall is the garden spot
of Iowa and Iowa the garden Of the
world.
This is a rural community, Of farm
lands and intend to remain in their old
homes, following the advice Of the
poet who said:
Happy the man whose wants and care
A few ancestral acres bound;
Content to breathe his native air
On his own ground
That is the spirit and purpose of
Marietta township: To build COM
inunity worth living in and live in it.
1t is the country. distinct from the
the independence of the landowner.
We shall have the better things that
we desire because we shall take them;
we shall live happily and well as we
may in our old homes and die among
our life long friends and neighbors:
we shall be progressive and kind ana
hopeful of the best. And thus shall
we live and offer our hospitality to
those who lack the good fortune of
similar opportunity.
Marietta Farmers Association.
That is a new declaration of indie
pendence, the independence Of men
who know when they and their fami-
lies are we'll off. who propose to live
as we'll on their farms and enjoy as
many privileges as they may obtain
as others live any where.
They will have the conveniences in
their homes, the roads they need and
are willing to pay for. They are con-
tent with their opportunities and pro-
pose to make the most of them
Marietta will keep her boys at home.
They will desire to stay. Her farms
will remain under ownership Of the
family name.

A Thrifty Genius.

There is certain famous violinist
who frequently visits this country and
who among his acquaintance is al
most as noted for his parsimony as for
his genius. Among this musicians ad-
nirers was a young woman who was
determined, IL possible, to procure some
souvenir of the great man. Her OPP
portunity came one rainy day when she
CHANGED to encounter the musician. He
was provided with an old cotton UNI
brella, green with age, while the young
woman carried a nice new silk one.
She stopped him for moment, ex-
claiming:
ooh. If you would only give me some
slight remembrance Of yourself-no
matter how SMALL"
The great man surveyed her keeniy.
and then gave a glance at the old cot
tor umbrella that covered him. This
he thrust into her hands. saying:
Certainly, my dear, young lady. I
shall be delighted. We will exchange
umbrellas. "-Lippincott

THE CHURCH AS CATERER.
Times Journal

...
visitor from another town, who
at home is an active worker in her
church, remarked that her !ahors for
that organization had seemed unsatis-
factory this year. She had been busy
all winter with suppers and cake and
candy sales. Instead of. being a pro-
pagator Of religion. the church seemed
to have become catering agency.
Formerly the phrase Church worker
referred to people active in teaching
Sunday, school classes. or conducting
missionary meetings. Now it was like
ly to mean one who gets up suppers.
These suppers would be served for
anywhere from 20 to SO cents, and
half the material. contributed by the
members Of the parish, would be left
over. Total receipts mus. have been
less than the value of the material
given Also the labor of the workers
counted for nothing.
Ut was not merely the regular
church functions. The Boy Scouts and
the Campfire Girls and the Christian
Endeavor Society, etc, all had to have
their sales. About every week she was
called on to make cake or candy

Still, They Wonder. Wbv.

The two women were discussing that
never failing theme-the incompetency
of domestic servants.
"Well. I am looking for a new cook, -
said one of the women, land am at
my wits end. They come to you as
experts, well recommended and all
that, and they turn out to be lazy and
incompetent. declare I can't under
stand it!''
What became Of the cook you had
last week?'' asked the other.
my dear, she was positively the
limit She couldn't cook, she broke
dishes, she wasted food. she wasn't
neat and she was impudent. I have
reason to believe that she drank Oh,
I had to get rid Of her. Honestly, she
was so bad in every way that I could
hardly think Of thing to say wher
wrote a recomm endation for her.

American soldiers will lose their lives
and American citizens will be exposed

WAR WITH MEXICO.

ting US into war in Mexico, while pro-
Tossing the utmost purpose to keep US
out The chase after Villa has been
long since forgotten. just as the oc-
casion for the occupancy Of Vera
Cruz has long since been forgotten.
But we are on Mexican soil, the irri-
tation Is growing greater, and we
seem to have no immediate purpose
OF removing the cause.
II war does come and we do not
have the sympathy or support OF
South America or OF Europe. it will
not be a very creditable war for us.
and we should not add another dis
creditable chapter to the Mexican
record. If the president would with
draw his troops to the border. at
once order q complete embargo on
the importation Of arms. put few
American boats at the Mexican sea-
ports and announce to Europe and
South America that we will do what
is needed to restore order without in
vading Mexico or selling Mexican
territory. he would have the support
Of everybody and with a few sporadic
raids on the border the insurrection
would soon die down.

walking, and the four youngsters were
riding in push cart. These people
were not doing it on wager, and they
did not ask for the signature OF the

writeups. They were given nights
lodging and good breakfast and
went on their way rejoicing. They
were bound for Kentucky, having been
burned out in Iowa. No doubt, there

JOE ALIENS EXPENSE ACCOUNT.
TCedar Rapids Gazette.1

[Cedar Rapids Gazette.]
If Joe Allen had no Interior motive In
seeking office at such expense he most
certainly believes his personal ambi-
ton Is worthy Of luxurious accommo-
dation. If he could have been elected
governor for two terms his salary for
the four years, beginning Jan. l, 1917.
would have been $4,000. The $1s.231
he spent, plus per cent interest from
the date of the primary election until
the end Of his term would have been
over $4,000. This does not take into
account the probable sum he would
have spent between the primary anu
election dates had he been nominated.
AS it Is his $1S,23l is gone represent
ing a perpetual annual loss to him and
to his estate Of s1,093.S6. He might
have put the money at interest and
each year have given away a five acre
farm Of 5000 land besides paying the
fuel bill of two poor neighbors. If it
was honest fame he sought look how
his lame would have waxed great. Joe
Allen would have been presenting a
home and resources to support a fam
lily every year. He surely never
thought of that.
