That we live in a community of unselfish people is proven from the fact that a number of contributions for the flood sufferers at Lawrenceburg, Indi- ' ana, have already been received. Decatur will send a little sum of cash to the relief committee of that stricken . city, that will help at a time of need, j Henry Neil, rece y a member of i the Illinois legislature and author of ’ the mother's pension bill in that state, | has been elected a justice of the peace < in Chicago and now announces that he , will administer justice in strict conformity with the teachings of Christ Where man-made laws conflict with | the Bible the biblical laws will be • given preference. All the ministers o* that city will be asked for help to' bring Christianity into the home of those who enter his court. He will accept no fees. Governor Ralston very properly resents the publication of reports that relief money has been distributed in communities where it would have a political effect and has been otherwise ludicrously handled, but he need not take the matter greatly to heart. No intelligent person knowing the governor and his committee or acquainted with the care used in placing the funds where:he need was greatest would give a moment’s heed to such stories.— Indianapolis Star. ~ Exposes Secrets CONI INUED FRJM PAGE ONE in," said Haywood, “is not silk at all but skin.
