NEW IDEAS AND THE NEW EPOCH.

One thing which open minded men see clear
ly is that the war has changed conditions every
where in many ways, and that human society
and institutions must now be readJusted to facts
as they are. This change is not so much in out
ward circumstances, though these have chang
ed as in new ideas, conceptions, aspirations OF
mankind. Change these, and the world OF ma
terialty must be remade to correspond; for
nothing else is so dynamic as ideas.
Men who would never be classified as dream
men of affairs see this. At Atlantic City re
Gently Charles NJ Schwab declared that "a
wonderful change has taken place in American
IDEALS and the big men of the future will be
those who give the greatest service to their fell
lows Lloyd George voiced this when, speak
ing at Liverpool, he declared: eve are scourg
ed to an elevation where we can see the great
everlasting things that matter for nations-the
great peaks we had forgotten, of honor, duty,
patriotism and the pinnacle of sacrifice pointing
like rugged finger to heaven
Service and sacrifice, these are the great
ideas which are to make the opening era differ
ent from all that have gone before. Their po-
tency is incalculable. The world never lacked
for sacrifice and service in the past, but they
have never been the dominating motives and
rule of action in human affairs. Nor viii they
now be all at once but new impulse is forcing
the world in this direction. They seem to be
the keynote ideas of the new epoch, the ideals
on which an improved civilization is to be built;
and institutions and theories of government,
life and business which are inconsistent with
them will wither and disappear.

in assisting the governments in de-
stroying disloyalty and sedition were
lofty. But his ignorance of the con
stitution is an unfortunate, not to
say lamentable and unwarranted,
weakness.
1t is true, however. that large
class of people have never taken the
time or trouble to read that docu-
ment of basic law, and yet it is the
life blood of the freedom and liberty
of which we boast. fit were better
understood there would be less I'M
rest about the government, less dis
content with Individual rights, and
less reason to fear the development
of bolshevism in America. The road
TO justice and individual liberty
would be clearer if II were explored
by the steady light of the constitu-
ton instead of the Pickering TORCH
of fanaticism and ignorance. No for
eigner' should be naturalized until he
is able to give an intelligent sum-
mary in the English language Of the
principles of the fundamental law.
Every child before reaching the age
OF 10 years should understand the
elementary purposes which the con-
stitution establishes. Every Ameri-
can citizen should read it at least
twice a year. If these precautions
were taken the masses would have a
broader and healthier grasp of the
obligations OF citizenship and their
application TO the government.

A REFLECTION OF KEoKUK.

The Gate City would call attention to the
January number Of Harper's Magazine Just
for one reason. And we guess many residents
of Keokuk will appreciate the reason, perhaps
with a chuckle, when their attention is directed
to an article in the periodical, and this news
papers advice to read and digest it, written by
Mary Heaton Worse and entitled !" Bridgeport
and Democracy 1t would be unfair, perhaps,
to indicate the trend Of the article; it might re
duce the sale Of Harper's in this town, but sui
fcient to say that conditions in the Connecticut
city seem, in way, to parallel what obtained
in Keokuk at and during the time the Missis
sippi River Power company was at the pinnacle
of its activity hereabouts. Profteering is a
word made ugly by the course Of recent war
events. But that word may truthfully be ap-
piled to many things in Keokulk that scaled the
surface Of fnanciering, in large and small ways,
up to three or four years ago; and perhaps this
condition may even persist. As to that,
individual citizens of Keokuk know best.

MAYOR GIVES UP PREACHING

I Wallace NJ. Short, mayor OF Sioux

occupied with matters outside of Cen

political campaign and then the bust.

this last year | have been able to do
I little more for Central church than

morning and speak extemporaneously

spirit during the preceding week.
Five or six weeks ago | came to
realize that the service of the city
demands ones undivided mind and
heart. The city is launching out into
city planning. and | believe, into a
period of great expansion. The
peculiar problems of reconstruction
after the world war for democracy
aie apcn us.
The contacts with human problems
and the opportunities for delivering

be found abundantly in the mayors
office.
1t required some courage, as /
thought, four and half years ago to
venture upon the enterprise of
preaching in the theater. am COM

Central church may have added to
their life something of permanent
value and eternal worth as it has
to mine.
1t is not from any waning convic-
ton of the Importance and necessity
of religious teaching and spiritual
character that ! make the contem-
plated change. No period Of my life

done the conviction that human souls

If l have had one ambition supreme
above any other it has been to share
the hopes and fears and problems of

It should be added, however, that the later
British securities bear interest at five per cent,
or somewhat more, and that inducements to al

a few years the investment nearly doubles itself.

The murmur OF waterfall

The sound OF grazing from herd

The echo from wooded hill

The CULVER through the meadow grass

Such music is not understood
BY any school;
But when the brain is overfrought

Beyond all human skill and power
To make it well
The memory OF kindly word \

The cleaning OF sudden s1niie
Or sudden tear.

v1TAMINEs AND MICROBES.

While the doctors are searching out the nox-
ious microbe in his lair, the chemists are seek
ing to find the elusive vitomine. Success in
both endeavors would mean lot IN making the
world safe for democracy The American
of its prominent members, bids the public get
good grip on this word vitanine which
YOU are going to hear more and more about. -
There follows an explanation that vitamine is
like electricity, known for what it does rather
than for what it is 1t is an element In food that
makes for bodily strength and growth and with
out which continued life is impossible. The
chemists have got far enough along to know
that certain foods in combination contain vita
mines and certain foods alone do not. But just
what or where the vitamine is must yet be de-
termined The doctors are quite sure about
some microbes but unfortunately the influenza
bacillus battles them. Moreover, the doctors
disagree to an uncomfortable extent. They are
quite sure the army and navy have brought this
plague from European ground to shores but
they were, despite warning, unready to meet it
and thus far they do not present a united front
against it. Meanwhile the public learns of
things it may not see or know except by their
deeds Vitamines the public gets as witnessed
by the strength and vitality that it has muster
ed to fight it's battles. Microbes get the public
as witnessed by the toll influenza has taken of
the world s peoples. 1t is high time that we
turned our attention to conscription of vita
mines to fight against minute plaques to which
the flesh is heir in such abundance.
