Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 November 1901 — DON’T KICK ALL KICKERS. [ARTICLE]

DON’T KICK ALL KICKERS.

Bro. Schanlaub of that great religious weekly, the Morocco Courier, tells a long, rambling story about a traveling jehu who was advised to divide the grain in some bags that were strapped on his camels, instead of using rocks to balance them. This the jehu refused to do, and in the end realized large sums of gold therefrom. Then comes the moral, “Never listen to kickers.” Bro. Schanlaub was in all probability in fun about this, for in the same paper we read that certain “kickers” have successfully dissuaded the brother from railing at a struggling editor because of antagonistic views on the goose question, and devious other questions affecting the moral and spiritual well being of denizens of Newton county who have been frequently commented on in a ‘‘kicking” manner, though this same medium. “Kickers” are all right. They make the world better, they have righted many wrongs, and will right many more. They are much to be preferred to him who will condone any lapse of moral deportment, simply to enhance his bank account.
