TRY TO REMOVE POST
MASTER BY WIRE

Like clap of thunder out of
clear sky, telegram was received by
Postmaster J. R. Lowell here late
Monday evening ordering his reno
al at once.-
The message read:
'For the good of the service your
removal is ordered, effective May 10.
Transfer office to Robert R. Quinn,
appointed acting postmaster.
Bartlett, First Assistant"
There had been no complaint filed,
@ far as Postmaster Lowell knows
anything about, and as no charges
were preferred in the telegram, ev-
rything seemed to be considerably
Up in the air, peculiarly mysterious
nd decidedly uncertain, save and ex-
ept the one fact that revolution
ry policital move was ruthlessly un-
er way to relieve the service of
mother democratic official.
We understand Mr.. Quinn was as
much surprised as was Mr.. Lowell
when he received a message to pro
ceed to take over the office this morn
ing.
However, this human and an ana
titious young man is very naturally
not adverse to being stricken by this
variety of lightning. Therefore,
n company with his friend, Rev. E.
Y. Keiter, he called at the postoffice
his morning prepared to comply
18th Mr.. Bartlett's telegraphic COM
mand.
When he got there, however, he
was told by nj. Lowell that he was
not adverse To- giving up the office.
but insisted that as he rad a coImis.
ion from the president of the United
tates, he woud insist upon being
checked out legally by an authorized
overnment officials. That inasmuch
s Mr.. Quinn had no commission as
ct, he would probably see after due
election that in justice to all parties
oncerned, the transfer should be
made in accordance with the law, in
rder that both parties might have a
lean slate.
Mr.. Quinn saw the point immedi-
tely and very graciousy agreed to
hat arrangement.
At noon Mr.. Lowell received Sec
nd telegram from Washington which
cad as follows:
Your resignation will be accepted
take effect June 1st.."

GREET THE NEW CITY
MARSHAL, SAM J. COY

Yes, Tuesday was great day for
Keytesville. Excitement of all kinds
abounded and a large vote was regis
tered, in fact much larger than was
expected, some 264 voters being on
hand to vote and support their favor
ite candidates.
This was one of the city elections
where nobody seemed to know just
why they voted for anybody. There
seemed to be underlying reports this
and that candidate stood for this and
that, and then denials would be spread
about, and then along would come the
several candidates soliciting the
patronage, claiming he was "dry as
thunder" and another that he was for
the special hobby that the voter hap
pened to be interested in.
The fact of the matter is just this.
Sam Coy was elected by just two to
one over his nearest competitor, Nor
ris Sunderson. John R. Hayes was
left at the post.
1t is now up to the citizens of
Keytesville to back up the present en-
cumbent. The Courier is satisfied he
will do his duty and he has special
reasons for this, something about the
future.
Coy promises to help make Keytes-
vile a better place in which to live
and not a better place in which to
raise hell. There is just one way to
accomplish this and that way is to
do something except knock his efforts
in helping the Law Enforcement
league clean house.
The vote was as follows: Coy, 100;
Sanderson, 80; Hayes, "a.

direction. We turn our ears to the
old traditions and there is no speech.
We turn our ear to the sky and there
is no voice. Jesus turned his ear to
the throbbing life of mankind. He
turned to the great breaking heart Of
father whose boy was away from
home, sat by the father and let that
father tell him what a fathers heart
is like. When Jesus wanted to know
what the will of God was, what the
voice from Heaven said, he went out
and looked on all the great glorious
fields about. He sawNthe sun shine
on the just and the unjust, the rain

went back and said, We have been all
wrong; it is not the will of God to do
good to those who are good 70 you and
evil to those who treat you i'll; it is
His will that we shall pray for our
enemies and do good unto those who
mistreat u.s. He turned his ear in
the right direction. The heart, life
and spirit of God are made manifest
in the pulsing heart of his children
here upon earth. So, 'As l hear, 1

you sin against God or his Son it will
be forgiven you: If you sin against
the Holy Spirit there will be no for

world to come Simply this: If you
are disloyal to your best conscience

of the soul.
"We are teaching in our schools the
appreciation of music appreciation

come into our vocabulary, 'Apprecia-

ability to entetr into life. We have
another expression, 'Historical-mind-
