The text:
It Is easier to be good than to be bad.
You have tried both, my brethren,
and I appeal to your personal expe
rience for confirmation of my text
Has it not been easier to behave your
self and enjoy the fruits of your good
behavior than to sin away your day of
grace and take the consequences?
But you do not always behave your
self. Nor do other people.
Stop a moment and think It over.
How strange it is that, after human be
ings have tried both ways of doing
and have proved ten thousand times
ten thousand times that badness does
not pay, yet they go on doing evil.
Why?
You know, my friends, and I know
that virtue is so made that it fits Into
the way the world is built And we
know that vice is everywhere and al
ways a misfit Nevertheless
We go on everlastingly in the old,
old attempt to fit vice into the place
made for virtue. Our fingers get
pinched in trying. Sometimes we weep
over the hurt or the failure.
Emerson said, "The devil is an ass."
What he meant was that the devil is a
poor logician. His arguments are
flimsy. He is a robust liar. He lied
to Adam and Eve. He told them to
eat and be gods. He told them they
should not surely die. In other words,
he said they could violate the law
without being punished for it
The devil says the same thing today.
He tells you, my friendly fellow sin
ner, that you can do evil and not be
caught at it. He tells you you are an
exception to the rule of the universe.
You will not suffer the consequences
of breaking the moral law. You are
too smart And
Though you know he is a consum
mate liar and an ass, my dear brother,
you take his advice and gulp down the
forbidden fruit
Some day, they say, sin will be ex
tinct
Maybe.
When that day comes it will come
when all men are so good they will all
want to quit sinning.
And that time is too far away to do
you any good, my brethren, or me.
Our only chance is to be as good as
we can De nere ana now. uur oniy
way is to take to heart the world old
lesson that it is easier to be good than
bad and quit our meanness.

eral thousand persons.
LOSES OXLY 91,000.
Thomas Lowe of Kokomo, whose
wife lost her life in a vain endeavor
to save the money secreted In a closet
of her burning home, west of the city,
declares that beside the $1,200 he had
taken with him to Kokomo unknown
to her and the $107 saved from the
ashes, that at least $1,000 in. paper
money was destroyed in the flames.
AT LOGGERHEADS WITH HAXLY.
Governor Hanly and the Clinton
county council at Frankfort, are at
Jogerheads in regard to the election
ordered by the governor to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Sena
tor Farber. The county council has
refused to make an appropriation for
the expense of the election, claiming
they have no right to appropriate
money for an election that is not held

notification being impossible owing to
the short time Intervening.

DRY WEATHER BOOSTS PRICES.

the higher climbs the price of corn.

POOR ROBERT WYNN JOHNSON, the deluded negro fanatic of Gary,
who is bursting off his suspender buttons trying to organize an Anti-Taft club!
What a thankless task he has undertaken! The Charleston News and Courier
says editorially: "We would far rather that the democratic ticket should be
defeated without the negro vote, than to be successful' with it." The News and
Courier, Mr. Johnson, is a powerful democratic paper.
THE BEST JOKE in the republican text book is Mr. Bryan's speech of

Bryan is quite a straddle-bug.

The cubs played with a vim and dash

Detroit, Sept. 10. In another session
of twilight baseball, the shades of
night being even further drawn when
this one ended than was the case at
Wednesday's finish. Detroit posed out
the sox today. This time the score was
6 to 5, and the tigers required only
ten innings to overhaul and go past
their rivals.
Either team ought to have won this
one, according to the way one's sym
pathies lie. Manager Jones found him

willing worker, "Doc" White, volun
