The Democrats now have an.op
portunity to make good. What
will they do with it?
As further proof of the prowess
of Our Dauntless and Matchless
•Fell as a campaign spellbinder,
the Wizard Oil editor of the Wal
nut Ridge Times is respectfully
invited to read the election returns
from Tennessee. Its wonderful!!?
So far as has been announced by
the census office, Iowa is the only
state in the union that shows a
decrease in population. Since the
last census, Iowa has suffered a
loss of 7,082 in her population, a
decrease of 0.3 per cent. The
people of Iowa are coming South
to the land of opportunity.
A great deal is being said in the
newspapers about the boys who
won prizes in the corn growing
contest this year. But the boy
who did not win a prize should re
member that his efforts have not
been in vain. Ernest effort in any
line of endeavor is beneficial, and
is to be commended at all times.
The Democrats swept the coun
try in the elections Tuesday, and \
as a result the next lower house of
congress will be Democratic by at
least 20 majority. New York has
elected a Democratic governor, as
has also Massachusetts and New
Jersey, and Harmon wins again
in Ohio. But the “Solid South’'
is broken by the election of a Re
publican governor in Tennessee,
Hooper having defeated Bob Tay
lor by at least 16,000 majority.
Both of the daily papers in
Little Rock refused to publish
(even at regular advertising rates)
a signed statement bearing upon
the prohibition side of the present
three-mile fight now on in the!
capital city. But they do not re- j
fuse to publish articles containing!
scurrilous attacks, even to the j
point of the rottenest ridicule, up
on the ministers and other good
citizens who are taking an active
part in behalf the petitioners.
V erily, the “fairness” of the Ga
zette and Democrat is so very
“fair” that even a blind man can
sec it.

THE IDEAL HAN
(Continued from page 4)
Bible, the Great Book, splendid
collection of books, the most mar
velous on earth, living bo^ks,
must be intelligently appreciated
and taught and studied and lived.
In fact, God should be put first in
the whole college life, and the
students should be urged, first to
get God enthroned in their hearts,
to help them search for the truth,
and sift out the error, and keep in
the straight and narrow path
while they are getting an edima
tion, and to prepare them in after
life to be a living example of
what Christ can do for a surren
dered life.
Second, on the other hand the
student should have a high and
thorough intellectual training,
counteracting the idea that there
is any conflict between the high
est education of the head and the
deepest culture of the heart. Ed
ucation is a subject upon which
Christian people need to be arous
ed. Of all people that should
have a liberal education it is the
Mian with a pure heart.
We may buy the best and pur
est of groceries, but if we prepare
it in a bad way, burn it, scorch it,
and serve in a very unattractive
way, it makes us lose our appetite
for it. So it is with the Truth of
God, and we ashis servants, ought!
to be careful as to how we present
the Truth, and represent Christ.
We ought to present it in the best
language possible, in the best man
ner possible, and make it as at
tractive as possible, and nothing
will aid us more in this than true
education. Those of us who are
past the age of receiving a college
education, can learn a great deal
by observing those who have re
ceived an education, and studying
cultured people and the rules of
etiquette, and try to present the
truth in as refined and acceptable
manner as possible. The Bible in- j
structs us to be courteous, and'
’ j
who was more gentle, kind and
thoughtful of the feelings of oth
ers than Jesus Christ, when he
was on earth? When 1 think of
how many blunders we make, and
how we mar the truth and how we
present it, it makes me want to go
down before Christ in humility,
and sit at his feet until 1 can ah-:
sorb some of his gentleness, kind-!
ness and lovliness. Because we
have the truth and Christ is en
throned in our hearts, it does noti
give us license to ruthlessly crush j
the feelings of others, and break!
the rule of common etiquette, but!
on the other 1 and it should make
us more gentle and thoughtful of
others. Bearish ways never at
tract, but repel. When people
criticise us let us notice and see if
it is not because we are bearish,
instead of the truth of Holiness we
are presenting.
This doesn’t mean to compro
mise in the least. 1 believe we
can be just as true to God, and do
more good, by tirst getting a pure
heart, and then the highest cul
ture of the head and body.
Third, is physical development.
Athletics in most of our colleges
are so brutal and have been de
graded so, until most Christian
people have a diversion for it.
Nevertheless, it is true that the
youth must have au outlet for,its
buoyancy of nature, and we must
have some form of atheletics and
physical developement in our
Christian schools. This can be I
done by introducing innocent!
games and having systematic train
ing of gymnastic exercises, etc.!
Our education should not be nat
ural, it should trend all the natur
al forces toward God and develop
them to the highest perfection.
My prayer is that we may catch
the inspiration of Christ, and do
velop our whole beings to the
highest possible state, and that we
may be our best for Christ, and
come nearer his ideal in the deep
est spirituality of the heart and
highest developement and culture
of the body.

the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them ? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
