Move up aheard, step lively, please,"
The trolley conductor yels with stress,
And never he thinks that words like these
Are part Of the creed that wins success
Plenty OF room up 'front.' he cries,
Move up, you people. don't block the aisle.
And never knows that his chant applies
To life itself in vivid style.
For life is sort Of q trolley
With Fate conductor and Time the grip;
Where all must travel or near or far,
And take their chance of pleasant trip,
And some folk stay IN the sweaty crowd
Thar grunts and grumbles and fights for straps,
And roasts the service and swears aloud,
And steps eorns; but the keener chaps
Hearken wisely TO Fates clear shout:
Move up ahead, step lively, pease.
Out OF the crowd that packs about
The trolley entrance they lithely squeeze
PLENTY of room up front, is right,
They look around and they pick their seat,
While the crowd at the still wedged IN tight
Stands and curses its aching feet.
So take your choice, for it's up to you,
Whether you ride IN pain ease,
While Fate shouts plainly the thing to do,
sMoye up ahead, step lively, pleased"

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Davenport Times: The people
know that campaigns cannot be car
ried on without certain amount OF
legitimate expense. There are many
things that must be done in order 10
present the merits of the candidates
to all the people. Printed matter

might as well come home. Instead
Of doing business it is now devoting
most of its attention to proving that
we won the war in spite Of Secre-
taries Daniels and Baker.

There are two bills before congress to author.
ize Roosevelt memorial coin, one making this
a two-cent piece, the other two and one-half
cent piece. The latter proposition has found
some support by reason of arguments declaring
It's use in meeting needs occasioned by fraction
a! costs, but the consensus is overwhelmingly
II; favor of the two-cent coin and this is good
judgment The point is that a Roosevelt me-
mortal coin to serve the purpose of it's sponsors
should be one for universal use and usefulness
and the two-cent piece promises this far more
than the other proposed coin.

Mr. kNbourne argued that the city can be prevented from polluting the stream.

Chair man Humphrey said that it could not be expected that the city would go in on private property and develop it for private purposes. Councilman Gorbach, answering, said that the work would be done, and Chairman Humphrey sharaly replied that this was probably the idea of the coun- cilman in being a member of that body. Chairman Humphrey said that Councilman Gorbach has had other things put through the common council, but that by right he should not have any vote on the matter. Councilman Gorbach added that the chairman was a bit excited. .brin ging denial from that city official. Deny ing that he desired to be personal, MT.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR TOPIC.
BY Phares A. McCardIc.
WILL A MAN RON aoD2


Being children Of God, we are, there
fore, brothers and sisters To withhold
selfishly from our brother, those things
with which God has blessed us, JOY peace,
strength and love, is to rob God. To re-
fuse time and service, for the upbuilding Of
Gods Kingdom on earth, while we fool
lshly wander through carnal pleasures, is
to rob God All things, even the earth and
its contents, belong 10 God. Therefore,
when we give of our substance, we are
only returning to God His own. Refusing
TO help others into the peace and Joy Of a
Christian life, is robbing God Of His
glory upon earth. God sends TO our homes,
little infants These are entrusted to our
care for support, protection aud religious
training. The latter that they might
know that as Gods chosen, He wants
them 10 return To Him. Neglect Of this
duty is robbing God and tearing down His
kingdom upon earth.
