PREDICTS ERA
OF BROTHERHOOD
Edwin Markham Says the
Christ Foresaw New
Social Order.

ZRauschembusch's The Social Prob
ierns of Jesus" was the subject OF an
interesting talk last night by Edwin
Markham, author of The Man with
the Hoe" at the Church Of the New
Jerusalem, Sixteenth and COrcoran
streets.
@For long centuries said Mr..
Markham. the teachings of Jesus, in
some of their aspects. lay undis-
covered, lay misunderstood, in the
pages of His wonderful gospels.

port They all refer to a new social
order on earth. Even His noble
mother was touched by His great
visions when He sang her "Magni-
hSat."
"Jesus descended from Heaven to
save a world gone wrong. He found
men living abnormal lives-abnOrm-
All because they were self-centered
There are only two ideals for men,
selfhoOd and brotherhood, competi-
tion and cooperation, brute struggle
and brotherhood. Competition must
be replaced by the higher order of
Christian cooperation, for competi-
tion paraIyzes the love forces. The
selfish soul is the lost soul.
Jesus saw civilization as a grim
selfish struggle-saw some men
threading over graves" and other
men "devouring widows houses.
There is good in our world-there
are noble features in our world
stul, in general, it is the same old
world that Jesus knew. We have nc
Christian civilization: we only have
a civilization with a sprinkling OF
CHRISTIANS in it. Nevertheless, we
are in the dawn of a new Era-the
Era that is moving onward toward
unity, toward brotherhood"

With Wife and Ten Kids
u. 5. Ought Pay Him Bonus
Instead of Asking Tax

Milwaukee, Wis. March 16.-There
is one married man here who Is
mighty proud of his family of ten.
Being in doubt as to a point in his
income tax statement, a man about
35 years old sought out Collector
Hemmy. When this point was set
tied, Hemmy asked him what his
exempted income was.
-Four thousand dollars" the maj
replied.
You're all wrong" Hemmy inter-
vened. We allow $4,000 exemption
for a married man and 5000 for each
child
You said it," retorted the poten-
tial taxpayer. I've got ten kids"
Taken somewhat aback, Hemmy
demanded that he prove his asser-
tion- The man dug down into his
pockets and pulled forth a photo
graph showing his flock.

Keokuk, st. Louis e Northwestern
railroad, commonly called the Kline,
left forty years ago this morning in
charge of Os Wooster as conductor
and with Jim Driscoll as engineer.
Richard Evans-yes, the same Dick
Evans still known to everybody here,
and now sanitary policeman-was
baggagemaster, and Frenchy Mat
thews was brakeman.
Finley McDoel and Billy McCon-
nell were conductors on the opposite
runs to Jack Evans and Wooster.
There were also two local freights
and two through freights started
that week, each way each day, be-
sides the Quincy and Hannibal local
freight run.
A. l.. Griffin was general superin.
tendent of the road. Colonel H. B.
Blood was general freight and ticket
agent, William Foley was master
mechanic, and C. p. Moody was train
dispatcher.
OF all who operated the Kline forty
years ago in it's beginning, Ed Ben
bow, who was freight conductor
then, and Dick Evans are the only
men still in Keokuk. Conductor
Jack Evans, for years an institution
on that road, now lives at Highland
Park, Ill.

merciaI feeding mixtures at as low q
price as is consistent with quality, as
the dairy farmer is in getting such ra'
tons for his cows"
There was time when every bust:
ness man thought that to take an un.
fair advantage Of the customer was
shrewd business, but that time has
long passed. All business is now based
on quality. A "snde" concern soon
goes to the wall. The organization Of
county farm bureaus under the direc-
ton Of a county agricultural agent
has done much to stabilize all lines Of
goods. 1t is significant fact that the
very best feeds have the largest sales
and every farmer knows which ones
are economical.
Poverty holds a mortgage on the
man who can see nothing but the
price, especially in feeds. He cannot
cheat his dairy cows and get much
milk.

Sunday.

A blind man with deaf and dumb
sister could have told that they were
a bride and groom from a very recent

They arrived over the big bridge
and stopped in front of the Hotel Iowa
yesterday evening in an automobile
that looked like part Of a pageant. On
each side wide colored ribbons were
woven into the bows Of the top; a
large red bell hung from the center
OF the top, and other bells were sus-
pended on each side On the rear
above the tire holder was big
placard: 1--WE Are Married Now"
With the bride and groom were
another couple acting as majordomos
or something. While the newlyweds
We're registering and being assigned
the bridal suite by Clerk Mitchell, the
other young man was busy with the
dining room executive.
The orchestra playing for dinner
would like to oblige, but 1t didn't have
the music Of any wedding march.
Could they get It? Finally, Mrs. w. ".
Holmes took the Mendelssohn COM
position from her personal music cabi-
net and sent it to the orchestra.
AS the bride and groom stepped
through the door Of the hotel dining
room, the orchestra started the we'd
ding march, and as the blushing Girl
and self conscious young man walked
across to a table, following the digni-
fled head waiter, the crowded dining
room burst into loud and long ap.
plause.
They registered as Mr.. and Mrs. G.
C. Prox, from Colusa, Illinois, and
were at the hotel until today.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO, Aug. IL = The aurora
borealis may inspire admiration in
nature lovers but it kills all the Joy in
telegrapher's life. Wires all over

workers to the electricity responsible
for aurora's appearance. This electri.

plays queer pranks. Generally the
trouble is dissipated in an hour.
Today the condition hung on for hours
delaying press association and com

interrupted for many minutes at a
time.
