requisite OF having as that one Is in
honest and honorable possession OF
the thing possessed. The Lord gave
his approval OF the servant who re-
turned the two talents for the one en-
trusted to him. but he did so by say
ing. Because thou hath been faithful
over few things will place thee over
many" IL was his honesty In handl-
ing the few talents entrusted 10 him
that pleased the Master, not the sim
pie acquisition OF more.
In fact we have ample proof that the
Master frowned upon the pulling OF
course stuff i'm money changing by
what happened one day in the Temple.
We would call the attention OF the
editor OF Iron Ore To what happened
there for II is possible that some such
deal as the sale OF those bonds TO
finance the private way" was on a
mong those money changers. II
may have been that in that certain
day OF Caesar Agustus and OF his gov
ernor, PLATE. certain funds had been
voted to improve the way from Jerico
TO the Holy Citylt is known that that
road was narrow and winding full
OF hairpin turns like the Witch lake
road that its general location invited
robber bands who frequently assault
ed and left for dead travellers who went
that way 50 IL is not at all improb-
able that the populace decided 10
broaden that road and make II safe
for travel. Nor is 1t improbable that,
the times being hard and money
scarce, the manipulators up at Jer-
usalem who had date farms out on
the other side OF the city conceived
the idea of building a road to serve
only those who could profit thereby.
So, taking advantage OF the string
ency in the security market, they
were excitedly bidding for these Sc
curities through the possession of
which they might dictate the con
struction OF that highway az a point
where il would serve only themselves
instead Of the public when the Great
Master arrived and, noting their un
loly zeal, he scourged them from the
Temple, making at the same time
very uncomplimentary remark. We
iay this may have been the reason,we |
ion't say it was the reason, but at
my rate we have ample proof that i
he Lord doesn't always help those |
who helps themselves
We note that the ore believes IL TO |
% good business to be unit" We /
suppose that means unit so long as
,eing a unit doesn't interfere with /
plans; when Il does SO
then It's not good business
o be united. At any rate Mar
Iuette must be the bell COW.
Iron county isn't very much on fol-
owing a bell, not these days. There
vas a time when people down this
way listened for the tinkle but that's
one and gone these many years.
We have no complaint TO make be-
ause Marquette instructed its dele
ates, not in the least. nor have we
ny criticism OF Mr.. Sawyer as road
uilder. He's as good a road builder
s there is in the state It's good
rinciple, however. TO keep the road
uilders building roads. not running
olitics. However. IL Marquette wishes
} delegate to him the dual role. why
e have no complaint to make, not
IT,
And, as for charges being unfound-
d, well, there must be something TO
lem or there wouldn't be such
to cover up.
