MORE Small TOWN STUFF.

''flne, says newspaper lion
sending an editorial clipping from the
T.-R. on small Town stuff fine
but Look at these two" These two
refers to items republished in the
Waterloo Courier under Fifty Years
Ago" and the items are:
Some of our citizens are so enthus-
iastic about sidewalks that they are
already putting them down. j. II, Lea
witt z. :. Phelps and DR.. Buckley have
put down handsome walks in front OF
their residences on jefferson street
DR.. Mason Is also preparing for his
share OF the walk on Main.
Leg Broken-On Tuesday last Edwin
Mesick of this office met with ser
ious accident, which will confine him
TO MS room for a few weeks. While
practicing some athletic exercise on
ladder, the top round gave way and
ne was thrown with considerable force
against some lumber, fracturing bone
in one Of mis- legs. We shall miss ed
but hope his accident may cause but
brief absence from his case"
SI1dIl DDWn STUN Dc dill. Dul 144ty
years ago Waterloo was a small town.
When doc Buckley and the others
set about putting down sidewalks in
that village it was a bigger news item
than the erection Of a new hotel would
printer broke d leg and was absent
from his case that was quite as i'm
his Rolls-Royce into Bill PARROTS
Mercedes or Simplex and busted Bills
arm IT the elbow, II was quite as i'm
portant to the Courier also to lose
a man off the case as it would be to
have it's business manager limping
from a sprained ankle.
When Doc and the other boys
started building sidewalks "enthusias-
tically' they started the whole thing.
They Desau d Town. The 5EIia4i to|-c
stuff Of two by fous, six inch boards
laid with cracks to save lumber were
the seeds of big town cement walks
and asphalt paving along those streets.
They were the foundation of "fbig town
stuff" And the enthusiasm Of Doc and
other fellows was the enthusiasm that
crystallized into an industrial Sec
ton Of the city, later. ,
News? why news is what people
want to know and wish to have
printed-when it is fit to print In
the t1nai analysis there. isn't much
difference between a half million people
and a halt thousand as concerns news.
The news Of the small town is as i'm
portant to the town as the news of the
| big town to it. Like government the
news unit is the home. the individual,
the things they do and that happen
to them. And the fact that Bill Sim
mons is adding an L 2S140 on his
hay barn is quite as much news in the
Simmons neighborhood az that the
| Pilgrim hotel or the Russel-Lamson Is
to add wing thus increasing the
facilities Of that commodious and we'll

Governor Harding escaped impeach-
ment by the house thru the efforts OF
his friends"
II reminds much OF the trial OF a
man for SANDER The evidence seemed
| overw helming and the charge OF the
presiding Judge stood for conviction.
The defendant requested permission to
a ddress the jury which was granted,
He stepped close to the jury. spoke
few words beneath his breath and sat
down with q confident air. The jury
acquitted him without leaving their
seats. Urged by curiosity the judge
asked the defendant what he had said
to the jury. Why, Judge" he ex-
planned. 81 Just said Gentlemen Of the
jury, the crisis has arrived and liars
must stand together
II was an escape but an escape that
left behind all that public men usually
value most. No coat of whitewash
can cover the act and the evidence.
All the kings horses and all the kings
men can not set Harding up again.
Harding is incidental. He is merely
representative of school of politics.
Such officials are and then are not.
| Such men rise high enough to expose
themselves to the public gaze and the
public does the rest.
But the public. however quick 1t
may be and is to correct mistakes OF
that kind. keeps on making the same
the individual who continues to make
the same mistakes over and over. We
| say ne deserves all he gets. That is
| just as true Of us as voting public,
J We got what we deserved when we
! fell over ourselves 20 vote Harding
I into the governorship. II the house
Z had impeached and the senate removed
! him that would not have excused or
mit!gated the public idiocy and the not
less idiotc party idiocy that elects
such officials
AS a public We are prone TO make
mistakes OF that kind and having dis
covered the mistake to take il OUT on
the beneficiary of our own foolish
ness.
There are two lessons in the recent
investigation. One is for the indi-
vidual whose ambitions turn toward
public life He should draw the un-
Outstanding from the investigation
that the only way TO remain in public
life holding credit while active and
honor in retirement is the straight
way. The other lesson is for the vot-
ing public. When ii fails to inform
itself and refuses to be informed as to
the records and characters of candi-
dates for high or low office it bids for
bad service and secures good service
thru accident.

The Dusk Of the lmmortals.

Along the sileht gallery
And UP the empty floors
Dim figures move from desk TO desk,
And vanish thru the doors.
And phantoms IN the buckled shoes
And queues OF long ago
Touch heads IN confidential groups,
Or hurry TO and fro.
No busy pages pass in haste,
No gavel sharply raps,
No oratory shakes the dome
With verbal thunderClaps,
No bills are nodded into laws
Or eloquently spurned
No long debates are lost or Won.
For congress has adjourned.
But after ii disbands, the great,
who wrought with heart and hand
The fabric Of our liberty
Thru storm and stress to stand,
Washington, Adams and Monroe,
With all their glorious train
OF patriots return 10 walk
The halls of state again.
Like shadows in the dusk beneath
The famed rOtunda vast,
They come. a mighty company,
Immortals from the past
To see II Freedoms bodyguard
Has kept these latter years
The high and holy covenant
She signed With blood and tears.

THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF

APRIL Il, 1912.

Few preachers of the gospel have
greater volume of both praise and
censuTe than has Charles Henry Park
hurst OF the five children in that
family. one brother became we'll
known editor, one a famous musician,
Charles Henry a reformer and orator,
as well as a minister.
At first he had no thought Of prea
ing. When a boy he walked daily
three miles to school and back. and
70 college. When well along in his
twenties he went to Europe to study
philosophy. and came home 10 teach
school. Again he went TO Europe and
finally. when he was about 80, wac
ordained a minister.
At once his. gift of oratory was ap-
parent At once. too. it was seen that
he would preach more than abstract
truth and justice. In New York he
delivered a sermon against the vice OF
the City and was brought up before
the grand jury. He did not have hfs'
hand information that tIne-tho he
was president of the Society Tor the
Prevention of Crime. So he got into
old clothes and personally went thru
the slums and rum holes and gambling
hells which at that time aboundeo -
the CITY and were run with the knowl-
edge and consent of the police. HIS
second sermon against political cor
ruption brought him again before the
grand jury, but this time he haa per-
sonal proof of the facts. and started
an inquiry that cleaned UP the police
system and made il one of the best IN
the world.
