HAVE A DOCTOR.
from the Cedar Rapids Gazette

(F'rom the Cedar Rapids GaZette.)
The real business of lawyer is not
to get his clients out of trouble, but to
keep them out.
The true business of a doctor is not
30 much to cure his patients as to keep
them well. But he can't do that unless
he is consulted frequently and fully.
To see the doctor when something
seems to be going wrong is matter
OF common sense.
1t does not mean that one always
imagines he is sick; and it does not
mean that he is not as we'll able as
other people to take care of himself 1t
does mean that he recognizes his own
limitations. "He who is his own law
yer has "a fool for a client; and the
saying applies quite as we'll to him
who is his own doctor.
II you have doctor, trust him and
let him trust you. Do not tell him
half the case and hope that he will
not discover the rest. Do not de-
ceive him for fear that he will rec
commend something you do not like.
You need an expert, not so much to
prescriber remedies, as to find causes.
So do not take matters into your own
hand and try to treat symptoms. Let
your doctor know that he can depend
upon you to consult him before it is
too late, and that you will not dose
yourself behind his back. That only
confuses things and makes it harder
for him to understand the case.
And take his advice. That is hard
er than taking medicine; but 1t often
does more good.

Mr.. Bryan thinks that the Lodge
reservations do not seriously impair
the Peace Treaty. The reservations
which are Implications Of the Const.-
tuition of the United States are GER
tainly harmless, and those in line with
President Wilson's fourteen points
should not be Objectionable to any one
If any Of the reservations tend to null
lily any Of the agreements upon
which the war was ended they should
not be insisted upon.

SHAMEFUL CHECK-BOOK POLL
TICS.

The Senate investigation discloses
the fact that the Republican aspirants
for the presidency have spent millions
In their endeavors to defeat each other.
Wood leads the list with an admitted
expenditure Of more than million
dollars, and this sum may be more
than doubled when the returns are all
counted. One big manufacturer gave
half million to the Wood fund. How
much will these interests give to help
defeat Democratic presidential can
didate?

RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY
AFTER THE PRESIDENTIAL
CONVENTIONS.

The American people did not en-
thuse over the resolution Of a sepa-
rate peace with Germany, because they
want this country to. become mem
Der OF the League Of Nations.
After each party has nominated its
presidential candidate, and the republic
cans have no further use for their
anything to beat Wilson policy, is it
reasonable to expect that the treaty
will be ratified?

Judgment Book unfold.

grows cold and the leaves OF the
Judgment Book unfold.
And now a word about our present
disturbed conditions. During recent
years there has come to this country
class of men, most of them from
Eastern Europe, a far different class
than our emigrants from Western
Europe, and they snarl and hiss at
the things this country has cherished
and fought for. They are Bolsheyiki,
in principle, and the warmth of our
hearth-stones has taken the chill out
Of these serpents and enabled them
to scatter their poison broadcast.
believe, however, that our ordinary
civil authorities, will, as a rule, be,
able to deal with this lawless class
and their American dupes; but, should
they fail, ! know force, that If
called upon by Uncle Sam, will do
the right kind of house cleaning. The
millions of men, who stood ready to
sacrifice their lives for their coun-
try on foreign battlefields, will not
lack backbone to deal courageously
with enemies here at home.
And now in conclusion permit me
to say, that if this country is des-
tined at some time and in some way
to join the neighborhood Of nations,
in community compact, to disarm
the outlaw, to suppress the highway
man and to run the gun nation down
the canyon, we will know how to per-
form our part as a member of that
world wide, legalized vigilance COM
mittee, because the work will be along
the lines this country has followed
for many years under the guidance Of
our national spirit.
Now just few more words. Nearly
everyone believes in future exist
ence. The Indians heaven is happy
hunting ground. Those OF little faith
think their hereafter will be a win
dowless palace of rest. And some
good Christians picture heaven as q
Golden City. not made with hands.
And then trust there are many peo-
pie, and / would like to be numbered
as one of them, who If given pass
port to the Celestial City, and choice
Of things to enjoy after they had
passed through the pearly gates,
would not want streets paved with
gold and everything made of cold,
yellow, lifeless gold, but would hope
that when their eyes first opened on
the heavenly place that they would
behold a vista full Of flowers j and
trees and ripping brooks and singing
birds, much like our present surround
ings, and to these surroundings well
come you today.
thank you Mr.. President, and
every member Of this assemblage for
the courtesies you have shown me
today.

THE GOMPERs -ALLEN DEBATE,

THE GOMPERS ALLEN DEBATE.
The recent debate in Carnegie Hall,
New York City, between Samuel Com
pers, president OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, and Governor H. J..
Allen, Of Kansas, was Of nationwide
importance. S-8
The venerable head Of organized la
Dor took this position:
1.-THE difference between slave
and a free man is that the slave
must work when his master or
owner directs and wills. The
free man may stop his work, and
whatever consequences Of suffer-
ing and the suffering that may
be involved in his suffering and
the suffering of no one else"
Governor Allen fiercely attacked the
union leaders. He said:
"a free man? Personal liberty?
It was my experience in the re-
cent coal strike in Kansas that the
majority of men wanted to work,
but their union would not let
them.
Zone man named Duffy worked
anyhow He was suspended from
the union for ninety-nine years.
The union leaders threatened his
grocer if he continued to sell him
goods. They threatened his land
lord if he let Duffy maintain his
home. That is the personal lib
erty' the distinguished head of the
American Federation of Labor has
been so eloquently speaking Of"
According to the newspaper reports
Governor Allen was greeted with tire
mendous applause when he declared
that 1--WE have not taken away from
any man his divine right to quit work
but we have taken from Mr.. Gomper!

that the Bond Company buying the

CONFIDENT LANDS
NEGRO in JAIL,

Two men in same town bearing the
same name is an unlucky circumstance,
or that is the way John H. Wilson, col
rred insurance agent feels about II.
John H. Wilson insurance agent, Oh
Ruston, received a letter from all IN
surance company, containing llfe IN
surance policy, together with a cash
ier's check for $l2S.OO, said amount
being advanced on the policy as loan
Wilson said he didn't believe the letter
was intended for him so ne returned
it to the postoiiice. The letter was de-
liyered to him second time and SO
on until he had remailed it four or
five times according to his statement
to Sheriff Currie, and finally he de,
cided maybe the check was intended
for him, and that the company nae
made a mistake. Believing it was not
his duty to point out the mistakes OF
a corporation Wilson came to Arcadia
and endorsed the check and deposited
lit in the Commercial Bank of Arcadia
Needing the money few days Later
or part of it, he drew check against
the deposit.
Everything went smooth until JONI
II. Wilson, rightful owner Of the III
surance policy began to make lnqulr!
as to the delay in receiving the loan
made to him on his policy by the com
pany in which he was insured, ant
now John H. Wilson, insurance agen
is resting in the Jail here pending in

him by the Commercial Bank.
He is very frank about the matte
and doesn't deny that he used tn
money, but denies that he forged

name. He said he thought he woul
use the money until the real owne
