Trembling old men do;

His eyes had seen three times my years,
And kept . twinkle still,
Though they had loked at birth and death.
And three graves on a hill.

That Snake an outIander

To the Editor of The Gate City:
In regard to- your article in this
evenings Gate City about a snake
being killed by some boys, would
like to say. although not to discredit
the boys story. that the snake they
had was a bull snake and was
shipped from Brownsyille.s Texas. 20
Peoria, ILL.,. shout thirty days ago
and the shipment was never called
for. This bull snake and one rattler
cied Friday afternoon Of cankers.
the bull snake was brought to Keo-
kuk Friday evening to local party
by railroad man to have belt
made from its skin, but the snake
was found to be cankered SO bad that
it was Of no use as belt. so it was
thrown away in an alley.
am not writing to cast any re-
Election on the boys story. When
they saw the snake they may have
thought 1t was alive and hit it, think
ing they had then killed it. 1t is
just to satisfy those who saw it as
to what kind of snake it was.

Sunday Observance.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Will you kindly allow me to reply
to the letter of the ministerial asse-
citation to the state representatives
in regard to Sunday laws? In Matt.
XVII:5 we read the words: This is
my beloved son in whom am well
pleased, hear We him. At a single
master stroke in the sentence Rem
der unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars, and unto God the things
that are Gods" Christ showed what
was the duty Of the individual in his
relationship to God, and what con-
stituted his duty to the state. God
says, Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy; six days shalt thou
labor and do all thy work. but the
seventh is the Sabbath of the Lord
thy God. For in six days God
created heaven and earth, and rested
the seventh day, wherefore the Lord
blessed the seventh day and hallowed
it."
God is not responsible for the OBJ
seryance Of Sunday, the FIRST day OF
the week. II comes to US branded
with paganism.
Sunday legislation Is amazingly I'M
American. If the state legislatures
did not mix religion and politics the
courts would not be called to wrestle
with such questions.
The only consistent Am erican way
to deal with this question is to rele-
gate the observance Of religious in
situations to the realm of church
functions, and divorce them entirely
from civil enactments. Entire sepa-
ton of church and state is the only
basis of lasting peace and harmony
between the followers of divergent
faiths.
All men should be induced to OBJ
serve the Sababth, but not by force
Compulsory religious establishments
are contrary to the laws and prin-
ciples of christianity.
Christ never linked arms with
Caesar, nor used carnal weapons to
advance His kingdom on earth. IF
We love me, keep my commandments"

RIDING TO A FALL.

The reception by congress and American opin-
government is characteristic of the unrealty Of
the prevailing public attitude towards the prob
lem of American foreign policy. Its publica-
ton was received first with amazement and in

was nitigated only by semi-humorous sense OF
the apparently abysmal stupidity OF the proposal

A polite vocabulary of condemnation might

Three years ago the throne of the Hohen-
