CARTHAGE, H., Sept. 10.-The
churches of Carthage have united in
union tabernacle series of meet
ings, commencing September 80, and
lasting through the month of Octob-
er. The meetings will be under the
leadership Of A. X. Harper and his
bunch of business men, who hail
from Fairfield, Iowa. These men
differ from the regular evangelists
in that they accept no remuneration
for their work. Only one man out
of the twenty-one men in the gospel
team, receives a salary. He is Mr..
| G. V. Scott, known as the Big
Swede," and he leads the singing.
A tabernacle. not unsimilar in de-
sign to the one used in the Scoville
meetings in Keokuk, will be built. 1t
will seat close to 1000 people.
1t has been twelve years since Car
thage had her great Billy Sunday
meeting and the church people of
the town are looking forward to a
great meeting at this time
A great many Carthage people at
| tended the Scoville meetings and
doubtless many Keokuk people will
! take the opportunity of attending
the tabernacle services in Carthage.
! 1t Is unusual to find manufactur-
ers, bankers, editors farmers, butch
ers, carpenters, and lumbermen lay
| ing aside their business to preach
! the gospel. Yet this is what these
| hustlers from Fairfield are doing and
| best of all, they report great sue
! cesses in their previous efforts in
other towns, numbering their con-
verts by the hundreds.
| The tabernacle will be built with
volunteer help on the Carlow lot,
probably better known as chautalqua
grounds.
Even though these men assume all
financial obligations, Carthage will
| do her full share

NO MORE, FREE HORSES.

The government ought in all fairness to com
pensate the newspapers Of the United States
for the vast advertising which will be neces-
sary to float the next Liberty loan. Last spring
when there was grave danger that the first Lib
erty loan would fail the press came nobly to the
rescue and donated millions of dollars worth of
space, which is its merchandise in trade, thus
saving the day and showing to the world that
the people of this country are back Of the war.
For this great aid it received nothing aside
from mimeographed thanks.
The railroads point justly to the great serv-
ice which they have rendered the government
IN this emergency, but they have rendered it at
FULL tariff rates and at a profit to themselves
Not single soldier nor a pound of freight is
carried by the railroads free
The telegraph, telephone, great manufacture
ing and many other organizations have also
served the government well-alwavs at fulI
rates.
Why, then, should the newspapers be singled
out to give their service free? Patriotism and
good Journalism, indeed, would dictate a liberia
dissemination of Liberty loan news and an
peals and the editorial influence of each iourna
may properly be thrown on the side of univer

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE
INSPIRATION.


Life of ages richly poured,
Love of God, unspent and free,
Flowing in the prophets word
And the peoples liberty!
Never was to chosen race
That unstinted tide confined;
Thine is every time and place.
Fountain sweet of heart and mind!
Secret OF the morning stars,
Motion of the Oldest hours,
Pledge through elemental wars
OF the coming spirits powers!
Rolling planet, flaming sun,
Stand in nobler man complete;
President laws thine errand's run,
Frame the shrine for Godhead meet
Homeward led, the wondering eye
Upward yearned in joy or awe.
Found the love that waited nigh,
Guidance of thy guardian law.
In the touch Of earth it thrilled,
Down from mystic skies it burned;
Right obeyed and passion stilled
It's eternal gadness earned.
Breathing in the thinkers creed,
Pusing in the hero's blood,
Nerving simplest thought and deed,
Freshenng time with truth and greed.
Consecrating art and song,
Holy book and pilgrim track,
Hurting floods of tyrant wrong
From the sacred limits back
Life Of ages richly poured.
Love of God unspent and Free
Flow still in the prophets word,
And the peoples liberty!

CONSTANTINE IS EVIL DEEDS.

1t is impossible to avoid condemnation OF
the conduct of Constantine former king OF
Greece. after reading Premier Venizelos
speech showing how but for this INSCRIPTIONS
monarch Serbia might have been saved, Iur-
key defeated early in 1915, and Bulgaria kept
out of the war. When Venizelos in February,
1915, proposed Intervention in the war, there
we're only six thousand Turks scattered among
the different provinces available to defend Gal
lipoli The Turks had a scanty supply of am
munition. They were actually preparing to
evacuate Constantinople and Venizelos be-
lieved that Greek army might have easily
been landed in Gallipoli and might have taken
the Turkish capital in two weeks. In that case
Turkey would have been crushed, Russia
would have been able to export her grain and
she would have escaped the offensive Of 1916.
Bulgaria, with Greek, French and British
armies on her rear would not have attempted
to enter the conflict.
Constantine thwarted Venizelos' plans and
when the entente powers began their attack
on the Dardenelles the Turks had prepared
their defensive works at Gallipoli.
The kaiser had no better friend than his
brother-in-law, who was formerly king of
Greece and who has disgraced Hellenic tradi-
tons But for his evil deeds Germany would
have failed in the east and by this time the
war would have ended.

Jockey Shuttinger's
Handling of WOOdtrdp
Should Be Investigated

Rumors Of the dishonesty Of jockeys,
have been altogether too prevalent
this season for tho good OF the sport.
They may all DO groundless, still II
wouldn't do any harm II tho officials
made bid for tho public confidence
by running thom down.
George Lofts Papp is away the best
OF the seasons two-year-olds. His
ruce In yesterdays Sanford Memorial
emphasized this fact He picked up
lS0 pounds, eight over the scale, con-
ceded weight to all his opponents and
ploughed through mud to creditable
victory. or course h0 was firing fast
and being caught by Kashmir In the
last sixteenth, but he won and that's
all that can be expected OF any horse.
There are always a lot OF Ifs and
AndS about racing. For instance: II
kashmir had broken wdll he might
have won. He didn't, and he lost by
a short neck. This. however. should
not detract any credit from Papp's
performance.
Funny, isn't II. how a trainer can
have little or no confidence in his
horse In the paddock and then go
outside and see him gallop home
JdCh NtoH, lIulleT OI MOSCOWh, luo

can run all day. But | don't think
he'll ever get up to-day"
Despite the trainers publicly ex-
pressed opinion. hundreds at the track
disagreed with him and backed the
gelding heavily. Some Of Keen's
friends will now think he purposely
tossed them off.
