THURSDAY. NOV. 26. 1914.
The bugs of summer have
been banished to their winter
cemeteries, but the bughouse
does business all the time.
The European war is going
along satisfactory to most of the
countries engaged in it, according
to reports from the respective
countries.
It never does any good to call
the attention of some folks to
their mistakes; they merely set
you down as a fool for not seeing
things as they do.
Beautiful is the sight of our
voting neonle going to and from
school. Pure maidenhood and
manhood has no superior in
beauty and grace. Young people,
.do your best. It will be the
survival of the fittest in life.
Get knowledge and it will all
come in as profit some day. Get
character; it is above price.
Older people, encourage them.
Here is one of the pathetic
incidents coming out of the
shambles of Europe: Two wounded
soldiers?one French, one
German?lay side by side on the
battlefield. The former passed
his water bottle to the wounded
German. The German sipped a
litsle, kissed the hand of the
man who had been his enemy
and said: "There will be no war
on the other side."
Half the joy of life comes
from getting good out of things
as we go along. Some of us are
always putting off our enjoyments.
After a while we expect
to take a rest, see a friend,
read a book. But after a while
never comes: the good time we
are looking forward to lies as far
away "its ever. All our life is
spent in meaning to overtake it
and enjoy it. Meanwhile we
toil, drudge and grow old, passing
by with unselfish eye the)

every day.
An increase in the price of
newspapers in smaller cities in
the Middle West probably will be
made by members of the Inland
Daily Press* Association, according
to sentiment expressed at
their annual autumn meeting
and dinner in the Hotel LaSalle
in Chicago. "The war in
Kurope," said Will V. Tufford,
of Clinton, Iowa, secretary of
the association, "has sent the
price of print paper and other
publishing materials to a high
mark and in order to preserve
the progress of the press and
* keep within a reasonable profit
the prices must be increased."

do a lot for it. In many towns
the women's clubs and other organizations
of women are found
working for civic betterment ?
more narks, cleaner streets,
public libraries, gymnasiums
and cleaner morals. But a
woman can do as much as an
individual as she can as a member
of a club or any other organization.
She can encourage
her hyshand to interest himself
in any movement for the public
! ? ^
/rood. She can exert an in-;
fluence where mere man has
j much less influence than she has;
for she can teach the children of t
her own and of the neighborhood,
pride in the home town
I and an ambition to make it a
clean and well governed municipality.
The town that becomes
a model of its size is the
, town where both men and
; women are planning and working
for it all the time.
Nr. Bradford's Position Endorsed.
(From the Yorkville Enquirer.)
In our view of the matter.
i representative rsradtord was exactly
right in the position he
took the other day. with reference
to the matter of backing up
the court house commission in
agreeing to give the architect a
rake-off in the purchase of furniture
for the court house. If
the commission had been vested
with authority to provide furniture.
the matter would have
been different, and we are quite
sure that Mr. Bradford's position
would have been different. But
when the commission undertook
to go beyond its powers and assume
to do something it was not
called upon to do. it is gratifying
|to know that the county has a
representative with the nerve
and backbone to call them down.
; Embarrass the commission? The
! idea! It is the delegation in the
1 general assembly that the re1
sponsibility rests upon, and they
will hnvp tn answprtn npnnlp
for unnecessary extravagance.
There are no doubt those who
will have it in for Representative 1
Bradford for thus speaking up as ;
he did; but if they succeed in
discrediting him with the voting
taxpayers for whom he was so j
I boldly standing out, he will still
retain his self respect as the result
of his refusal to allow himself
to be overriden as though he
were a dummy.

Frank Loses Another Appeal.
Justice Lamar of the United
States supreme court Monday
j refused to issue a writ of error
to bring to the supreme court,
for review, the conviction of Leo
| M. Frank for the murder of
Mary Phagan, a factory girl, in
Atlanta, Ga., in 1918.
Attorneys applied to Justice
I Lamar for the writ on the
ground that a right under the
federal constitution had been
denied' Frank when the jury's
verdict was returned during his
absence from the court room.
| Henry Alexander, attorney
for Frank stated that he was unable
to say whether the application
for the writ would be
presented to other justices or
not until he had consulted with
his associate, Henry Peeples.
250,000 Backsliders.
More than two hundred and
fifty thousand* members of the!
Presbyterian church in the1
United States have been placed i
on the "suspended roll" in the j
last five years, according to the i
report of the Rev. William Fulton
to the General Assembly
I Committee on Educational Policy
now in. session in Philadelphia.
He gives as the causes, "the
growing love of pleasure, disregard
for the Lord's day and the
word of God, the increasing
craze for amusements and the
influence of worldly company?

which is preached by many secular
organizations."
"They slipped back into the
world, fell away, were relegated
to the ecclesiastical scrap heap,"
said Doctor Fulton.
A highly interesting address
was delivered Sunday morning
from the pulpit of the local
Presbyterian church by Rev. :
Palmer C. DuBose relative to
existing conditions in China and
her accomplishments of the past
few years, coupled with an appeal
for support of the work
being done there by the Christian
churches of America. Many of
those in his congregation found
his comparisons tjuite startling.
Mr. DuBose is located at Soochow
in the mid-China mission
of the Presbyterian church.
