A Kentucky Optimist.

Chicago Evening Post: There is
nothing small about Senator Ollie
James, Of Kentucky, when you take
him physically; and when Ollie esti-
mates his own persuasive powers he
evidently THINKS that bulk counts.
The big Kentuckian has just return
ed from campaigning for Wilson in
Ohio, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Indi-
ana and Illinois. He wires Mr.. Tum.
ulty: Hughes is licked Wilson a
certainty Ollie is an optimist.
When you see him you just caa
help smiling at him, and Ollie inter-
prets every smile as an evidence Of
support. Let k,m dream on. Novem-
Der Z is not far distant. On the
morning after Ollie will have a bet
ter standard by which to Judge the
effectiveness o. his oratory

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR oERTEL

During the past year there has been great
amount of agitation, apparently in the interest
of economy, for one county seat. TINS was
started by persons having personal interests
at heart and carried on by others who have
never fully examined the matter.
Mr.. Storms has made pledge that II ne is
elected to the legislature he will have the act
establishing branches of the county Offices at
Keokuk repealed.
At the present time about two-thirds OF the
county business is done at Keokuk. Ii tran
sacted elsewhere the citizens would have to pay
which would about equal the expense
of the offices at Keokuk. It also means that
by the time the people had stood the inconvenl-
ence for time they would demand the repeal
of the Hamilton act and there would be
county seat fight with all of its expense and
hard feeling.
The only way to avoid this is to elect Frank
Oertel to the legislature. He is a Lee county
boy and will represent all of the county, north
and south. If you believe in living at peace
with your neighbors, vote for him. If you in
sist on having fight, 60 ahead.

The Lecture.

Professor Herring spoke as follows:
Christ Jesus, the great physician,
the divine healer, has for all time set
the standard of perfect healing be-
fore humanity, and that many do
not yet believe in his gospel results
from a lack OF understanding of the
true nature and philosophy of the So
called miracles which he performed.
His ethical teachings are very gen.
orally accepted even by agnostics;
although the spiritual records of the
healing work as part of his divine
meet with dissent from
many Of the cultured people of today.
The gospels record many instances
of the healing Of physical disease by
Christ Jesus and his disciples; he
restored a withered hand, he healed
an inpotent man and a man born
blind; he healed paralysis, dropsy,
leprosy. epilepsy and
violent insanity, and he raised the
dead.
Furthermore he specifically COM
his disciples that they should
continue his healing work.
Peter, John, Philip. Paul and other
followers healed paralysis. deformity
insanity, lameness, and also raised
the dead, in connection with their
work; in fact healing
was practiced quite generally among
the early Christians
All those who admit that Christian
healing is even desirable can but
welcome consideration OF what it
would involve, what it would depend
upon Let us consider, therefore,
there is a Science, Prin-
ciple and law which can be applied,
and how this application can be
made.
The fact that Christian Science
heals can readily be determine ed
by any sincere investigator, and the
supporting evidence reveals its
with spiritual healing,
thus proving this healing to be true
and possible today and establishing
the fact that Christian Science is
Messianic. .-
According to the Scriptural ac-
the heading wrought by the
and his disciples, was &C
through mental or spir-
itual means alone, thus through some
action of thought. Christian Science
healing is brought about in the same
way In both, the healing Principle
and law are mental, and we are
thus led to examine into the nature
Of Mind and mind action.
Christian Science teaches that
Mind is that which thinks, that which
expresses itself in ideas, intelligence,
consciousness. Thus 1t is the basis
Of all manifestation, the Principle
and intelligence of the universe.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

sS"H pnSSS
Cedar Rapids Gazette: P. G. Hen
derson Of Central City says that II the
cows could talk the proposed assess
ment to maintain a county agricultur-
al agent would pass with big major
ity. More truth than poetry in that.
Men have been known to vote far
more foolishly than would the ordin-
ary COW. Bovine tendencies are not
confined to four-legged critters.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
The right to vote and 20 vote as
pleases the voter is one most highly
priced and 1ealousiy guarded. 1t is the
hall mark of full citizenship. 1t car
ries responsibility to thinking men
which should make them as jealousy
careful that they cast their vote for
the best instead of the worst in gov
eminent.
Waterloo Courier: This year the
country is facing an unprecedented
shortage of cars, there being right
now, according to railway statistics,
61,030 fewer cars than necessary to
move the traffic. This means not only
Inconvenience and delay to shippers
but positive discomfort to the whole
consuming public.
Perry Chief A great deal of the
credit which will go to Mr. Harding's
campaign managers should probably
be given to Mr.. Harding's political en-
em!es. They made votes for Harding
by adopting the methods being used
in the effort to defeat him.
Washington Democrat: An old bear
with sore head could not be more
"touchy" than George Harvey. What
the thunder do they call him "Col"
for? He writes disgraceful articles
about Wilson in his magazine, but af-
ter all it has only $4,000 circulation,
and his influence amounts to nothing.
Boone News-Republican: John M.
Parker, progressive candidate for vice
president, the tail without kite, is
the bravest man politically that has
appeared on the horizon for many a
year
Mason City Times: The fact that
Mr.. Meredith and Professor Holden
got pinched in. an irrigation project in
Idaho does not prove that they were
dishonest men. If all the honest men
in Iowa who have been pinched by
deals which they went into honestly
were stood up in row there would
be no men on the side lines. Mere
dith and Holden believed they had
found place where they could make
quick and easy money. 1t was gold
brick They have made every effort
to counteract the influence they might
have had in influencing other invest
ors.

in Iowa has been the most disgusting
and sickening that has been waged in
this state in many years. 1t has been
upon lower plane than should be
tolerated in state like Iowa.

The fact that Christian Science
has had such phenomenal growth

OF the opportunity of test:fying that

JITNEY.MAD?

" YHILE service was further increased yesterday on many sur
w face lines in Manhattan, there is no use maintaining that
the number Of cars is as yet anywhere near normal, or that
the public in this borough has ceased to suffer serious inconvenience.
After ~nightfall especially the scarcity of surface cars on avenues
and crosstown routes above Twenty.third Street imposes great hard.
ship upon thousands of tired and bcated workers bound for their
homes ON the east or west sides.
One aspect of the situation, however, is rather curious. So far
there has been little dimnution in the streams Of improviscd passcn-
ger vchicles-motor trucks, sightseeing wagons, jitneys, ctc.-that
flow up Fifth and Madison Avenues from 6 o'clock to 8, and even
later, every evening. carrying close packed loads Of people to Harlem
and the Bronx.
Tho subway and elevated lines up and down Manhattan III run.

II common thing to find dozens of empty seats in subway trains. Yet
these overcrowded, boisterous jhney rides to Harlem 60 on as II the
subway and elevated services had broken down.
Has emergency created a new kind of ~joy.riding which proves
20 inexpensive and exciting that its patrons are loath to give il up
II so, it is time to remind all concerned that this means of transpor.
tation can be only temporary. The city does not license il, nor can
il allow it to continue indefinitely.
Yesterday a big motor truck operated as a jtney swervcd and
dumped forty persons into the roadway at the plaza of the Williams.
burg Bridge. These mammoth jitncys may be a big help where there
are no cars running. But they are a dangerous feature Of traffic.
The city should watch them and stop them when they are no longer
needed-particulaly where they parallel a normal and even super.
normal service on subway and elevated lines in Manhattan.
