The Nearest Duty.

Let us, so far as we can, bring wider interests to our little world. There is no more potent charm to ban ish the petty and unworthy from it. Wider interests open the doors into a wider world into which some day we may step. Let us work ceaselessly, patiently. No success we may win in any calling will be worth anything if we have not cultivated the power to keep all around us bright and orderly and attractive, if the light of divine love, and peace, and power, and wis dom does not radiate from us into the world and help and inspire others.- Nancy Freeman. s

Steele a Strong Candi-
date.

Sol. T. Steele, candidate for
the Republican nomination for
County Attorney of Knox, whose
announcement appears in the
ADVOCATE, is making a favor
able impression with the voters.
Knox county will need for its
County Attorney the coming four
years a capable, trustworthy
official, as well as good safe men
for other county Offices. Our
people should be careful and far
sighted in the selection of county
officers. Sol. r. Steele is quail
fled for the duties Of this impor-
tant office, and, if nominated and
elected County Attorney, he can
be trusted to do his whole duty
in the conduct of the affairs of
the office and for the welfare of
the people of Knox county.
Mr.. Steele was born and reared
in this county, taught school and
afterward attended law school at
Valparaiso University, and has
been, for several years, promi-
nent as a lawyer at the Knox
county bar. This is the first
time he has ever offered for a

it, to pay. Coal went from Sl.5C
and $l.75 to So per ton, or rather
per load, which, in some cases,
would weigh about l,SO0 pounds.
We do not blame any man for
getting all they can in this
world, but we believe it should
be passed around a little. Any
man can handle coal after it is
brought to light, but the man
who risks going under the m oun-
tain after it is the man who
should have the increase. if there
be any. A legitimate strike. one
that is free from riots and other
violations. but we do not believe
in violating the law to enforce a
strike, if there is any way at all
to avert it.
