JUDGE Bolts COMMENTS.
Editorial Copied in Last Weeks Lead
er Brings Forth Challenging
Answer From Audrain
Assembly Man.
(Vandalia Leader.)

The editorial copied in last weeks
Leader from Mosby's Missouri Mes
sage in its "Said by by Missouri Ed'-
tors" column, brings a comment
from Judge W. W. Bolts, of Mexico,
former editor of the Leader, and at
present Audrain representative at
the Missouri Assembly, that will oe
Of interest to his friends here. Not
only is Judge Bolts a Democrat Of
the Jcffersonian type, but he Trims
straight and can generally be found
on the right side of any question.
The Leader makes it "Said by
Missouri Ediaors," column, represent
the variety and versatility of thought
voiced in the press. The excerpts are
not meant to express our personal
views, as is the case in the Mosby edi-
torial. Though many say with un-
crring precision what eludcs our fall
tering pen.
Judge Bolts writes:
Mexico, Mo, Nov. 10, 1919.
To the Editor of che Leader
Isbeg a little space in your valuable
paper to comment on the editorial pub
lished in last weeks Leader from
Mosby's Missouri Message. The fact
hat The Message aspires to be ar
organ of Missouri Democracy makes
me feel that such sentiments as were
, expressed in that editorial ought not
to be allowed to go unchallenged.
The editor in that article says that
he can see no difference between Prus.
| sian Junkerism and English Toryism
! French Chauvenism and American jim
I goism and wants this country to have
nothing to do with any foreign coun
try. At least that seems to be the bur.
den of his song.
If the sentiments of the writer o.
that editorial are correct and basel
on fact, then our government ougn'
to 90, hat in hand, to the Kaiser ant
beg his pardon for Intervening in tin
war, and our boys who died in Franc
have gone to graves of dishonor an,
shame. Mr.. Mosby's experience a
Beer Inspector for Missouri brough
him in close touch with the worshiper
Of Adolphus Busch but | cannot bcliey
he is willing to 20 to the length az
depth that his editorial indicates.
The editor, of course, is strikin
at the League of nations to maintal
peace. He says he is not only for An
erica first, but for America alone

aside from the great humanitaria
proposition involved in the League

When a man awakes to the fact
that he needs to bring his life into
line with the will of God, SO that ne
ma finally come into the presence
of God with all those who have
served faithfully, the natural thing
to do is to find out what the will of
God is.
The will of God i~s-revealed in the
Bible, through the church and in his
tory-at least these are the principal
means or methods of revelation.
And the man who desires to know
Gods will so that he may clearly de-
fine his goal or purpose will study
the Bible, go to church and try to
find out how God has dealt with
others.
If he fails to do any of these things
the probabilities are that he isn't
very anxious to find out what God
wants him to do and to be, and it is
almost certain that instead of having
a mark or goal, he will simply be

~Indecision, lack of a goal, failure
to register-uncertainty-these are
the things that Paul condemned in
this bit of a picture of the a he
himself struggled to win.
And Paul had to fight in his at
tempt to develop character.
He frankly admitted that he was
constantly struggling-he said That
he often found himself doing the evil
things he didn't want to do, but al
way coming back again, and begin
ming again.
What saved Paul was the fact that
he had a goal-that there was some
thing ahead which he was deter
mined to win.
the realization hat he had nothing
to which he might look forward, he
might easily have slumped SO badly
that the whole thing would have
become hope1ess-and that would
have ended matters for him.
The fact is-in spite of what some
men may think of us-God gauges a
mans life by its general tendencies
rather than by its occasional failures
and sins.
But it's necessary to have a goal
because then there's a chance to
make progress. It is possible to make
the blows count.
If life is merely a succession of
single, isolated acts, having no rela-
tionship one toward the other-just
one thing after another-then the
chances are about even hat you're
