reported it will raise McGuire s major-

premature than at first thought.

INTROSPECTIVE EDITORIAL
A Practical Sunday Sermon Dra\\ n
From Lesson.
It frequently happens that in advising
the public how to lead good, wholesome,
generous lives an editor tramples on his
own toes. This, in the newspaper pro-
fession is inevitable. We write what
we wish others to be rather than what
we are ourselves. The editor of the
State Capital will forgive the conceit of
applying an editorial sermon, in last
Sundays's issue to himself. The appli-
cation is the more sarcastic from the
fact that the editorial is not the pro-
duct of any brain on the State Capital
but is the stolen product of some man's
heart and brain on some eastern paper.
To be dishonest is bad enough, but to
preach honesty with stolen words and
ideas is worse than scaling the walls of
heaven with a borrowed ladder and en-
joying God's confidence under an alias
on the Book of "Life. With a few ex-
ceptions, this is a.good warning sermon
on the future of the sermonizer:
"Robert Mason, a man worth thou-
sands of dollars, died in a small inland
town the otherday, and despite the fact
that he had been born, raised and had
lived among its people, he departed un-
mourned and unwept.
"From his earliest life he had devoted
himself to making money. Early and
late he toiled, always with dollars as
the controlling influence of his existence,
a slave to deiire for financial gain and
a servant to an overmastering selfish-
ness, In his business transactions, he
was honest as commercial honesty,
whatever that may be, goes and he had
never defrauded anyone. He had al-
ways kept his word, but his word was
never given save in a business trans-
action. All his intercourse with his
fellows had been of business nature and
none of his neighbors could remember a
time when he had made an effort to be
friendly or sociable for the pleasure to
be derived. Business was his master.
Friendship had no place in his life. He
had been to busy to form home ties. A
family would have been to him a need-
less expense and all his life, he had
avoided expense.
"The people around him were looked
upon simply as individuals with whom
he might do business, and at a profit
which would enable him to accumulate
more money. He cared nothing for
their acquaintance, save as it was of
benefit to him in a business way and
when he had no business with a neigh-
bor he wished no intercourse with him.
"He accumulated money and property
but no friends. His relatives knew him
as little as did those who were not
bound to him by the ties of blood. He
visited no one, no one visited him. He
cared nothing for the comfort of others
and when others found that he wished
to be left entirely alone in his struggle
for wealth, they grew cold and colder
toward him, and in the end, he became
almost a stranger in the town where he
knew everyone.
"When he grew old he was alone
with riches. I'nysical incapacity pre
vented him from longer being active in
business. He hobbkd about his little
place, still denying himself the society
and the comfort which his' money would
have afforded, because he still loved his
wealth better than pleasur-
Wheat and rye were benefited by the
rains, and made fair growth; wheat is
heading out short, in places, and some
damage by Hessian fly is reported from
Kay county; the general condition is
from fair to good.
Oats were benefited by the rains, but
the crop is backward, and only in a
poor to fair condition over the southern
portion of the section, over the remain-
der it is much improved and is in good
condition.
Corn replanting and cultivation has
been in progrees; the crop has made
slow growth on account of continued
cool, wet weather and is in a varying
condition ranging from a poor to fair
stand.
