Bryan's Anathema.

tFrom the st, Louis Post. Dispatch.)
In his address to the Missouri Legis,
latnre Mr.. Bryan said no Christian
could oppose prohibition.
This il a fair sample of that ~intoler-
ant fanaticism of which Mr.. Bryan is
now the demonstrated leader. He
rules everybody who does not agree
with him out of Christian fellowship.
Fortunately, the Founder Of Christian
ity, who made and used wine, His dis
ciples, who drank it, and the Apostle
Paul, who %counseled the use of a little
wine for the stomach's sake, cannot
be reached by the Bryan anathema.
Prohibition Is contrary to Christian
ity. The world was cverburdened
with law when Christianity came to
relieve it of legal expressions and
~hypocrisies. Prohibition is an aband-
onment of the method of Christianity's
leader and teacher, who substituted
love for law, the spiritual inspiration
for the prohibitive code.
Referring to q set of church elders
who drank, Mr.. Bryan Ia quoted as
saying: "My God! What d task the
Almighty has On hand, to try to con-
vert the world through tipping
elders!"
We are tempted to paraphrase this
bit Of evangelistic blasphemy by ex-
claiming, "What a task Bryan has on
hand. to try to convert the world
through club swinging policemen"

work Of Commissioner Alexander,
taking the testimony Of the voters OF

Mr.. Bradley speaks in high terms
Of the democrats Of Maries county /:
that no better bunch ever voted the

"The rank and file OF the democrats
are deeply interested and much CON

he comes down he usually expresses
himself 80 having "voted twice for

He thinks they will complete the

Obituary.

\ great cloud has come to darken
another home, MIR. John A. Middle
ton, of Jerseyville, Illinois, has been
called to another home. a world OF
happiness in place of suffering. Those
who would hereafter seek him must go
to a silen; tomb. The home that was
once bright is now dark, the chair is
vacant that no ~ can fill. He was a
Christian, being A member of the
Methodist Church OF ~Jerseyyille,
where the sermon was held, and was
! prepared when the death summons
came.
'Tis hard to part with this loved one
but we must say like Job, "The Lord
gave. and the Lord hath taken away,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.n
This loved one was born in Belleview,
Missouri, August Sth, 1862, and was
married to Miss Laura Elizabeth Jane
Vaughn, of BelleviIle, Illinois, Feb
ruary 18th, 1887, with whom he lived
till her death, May sth, 1889 in Belle
view, Missouri. He buried her there
and then went back to Illinois to work.
lie was left with q child, Viola. He
was then married to Miss Carrie Mil
Ter, July 25ch, 1891, in Jerseyville, ILL.,,
with whom he lived till his death,
Saturday. January q, 1917, ut . p. NJ.
He was buried at the Oak Grove
Cemetery at Jerseyviile, after a love-
ly ernnon by the Rev. Wilson and the
Modern Woodman funeral service. an
order OF which he was a member for
Il years.
He had been III for a few years and
made a trip to Woodman, Colorado,
for his health in the spring of 1911,
and came home fine, but he soon fail
ed again, sbedfast only at times. He
had only been down last since New
Years day, but God has called him to
repose in all endless felicity and we
are fully convinced that he is now re.
loleing IN the bosom of an eyerlast-
ing Savior. A number of sympathiz.
ing friends and relatives followed him
10 his last resting place. He was a
loving husband, father, ather.in-l law,
grandfather and brother, being sur
vived by his wife. Mrs. Carrie Middle
ton, Mr.. and Mrs, Fred and Viola

Robert and Hettie Boner, (nee Mid
d@leton), MILAN Middleton, Dorothy
Middleton Joseph, Walter, Elsie,
Veara and Irma Middleton and two
grandchildren, Vaughn Sass and Luz
ellie Boner, and six brothers..
A precious one from us has gone,
a voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our hearts,
Which never a be filled.
We saw him suffer, VIC heard his sighs
With aching hearts and tears in our
eyes,
We saw him sinking, hour by hour.
Yet could not stay Deaths awful
power.
But now he calmly sleeps at last,
All aches, all pains, al! suffering
past,
And from his lips, the cheerful smile
Could not be driven;
And with a hope OF future bliss,
He passed from earth to heaven.

8. z. Holmes, who fifteen years
ago lived in Iron county, near Clones,
passed through IrontOn last week re-
moving his family from Bismarck,
Mo-, to . farm which he purchased in
Madison County, three miles east of
Of Roselle. 1t appears that Mr..
Holmes, about ten years ago, went TO
Colorado and home steaded 50 acres
Of land, lived on the land some six or
eight years, then sold the farm, and
returned to Missouri, where he will
make his future home.
We are glad to note that work on
the High School Building is progress
ing nicely. This building, when COM
pleted, will be up-to.date in every
particular. The school house in every
town or country is q mirror, so to
speak, from which we can see the
future moral and intellectual status OF
that town or country. Long years
after we shall have passed "over the
bar" the work done in those school
houses viii continue to have its
tangible results for b~ettering the con-
cl.lons Of me and women.
County Superintendent, ". s..
Cooper, came out to the Roselle
school. some time ago, and ''cut out''
the ninth grade work, on the grounds
that IL took too much time from the
eighth grade. AS the writer watched
those nineth grade pupils take their
books and leave school, he could
scarcely suppress shedding tears, for
the ninth grade work meant SO much
to them, when part of them we're not
able to attend school away from
home.

IL is true that the original deed did

years later, owing TO dissatisfaction
which had been expressed, Mr.. MUIR
ply made an absolute quit claim deed,
without any restrictions whatever
and Turned the property over to the
