Brave and honest men do not work for gold.
work for love, for honor, for character.
They
The men who sell themselves are slaves; their buy
ers are dishonest and unprincipled. Freedom has its
humbugs!
His integrity was proof against danger and corrup
tion. Against threats and bribes, pride is the ally of
principle.
The ignorant and careless are at the mercy of the
unprincipled; and the ignorant are as yet greatly in
the majority.
The best benefactors of the race have been poor
men, among the Israelites, among the Greeks, and
among the Romans.
There are men who can be bought.
There are
rogues innumerable, who are ready to sell their bodies
and souls for money and drink.
Among the North American Indians a wish for
wealth is considered unworthy of a brave man—so
that the chief is often the poorest of his tribe.
Sense has ever centered in the few. Votes should
be weighed, not counted. That state must sooner or
later go to ruin where numbers sway and ignorance
decides.
Labor shuts up the first avenues to dishonesty; it
opens a broader field for the display of every talent;
and inspires with a new vigor the performance of
every sociaLandxreligious duty.
The police courts too often reveal the stealing and
swindling of men in whom confidence has been placed;
and the result is that they are dragged down from
confidence to ruin. It is the trustworthy character
that is mostjwanted.il> Character is reliableness; con
vincing other [men by your acts that you can be
trusted.
Floyd Miller and Herman Goudy have been recom
mended for “merits” for their good work and relia

During chapel last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps in
troduced Dr. E. Blanche Sterling of the U. S. Public
Health Service, who made a most interesting talk on
her mission here and of the government’s undertak
ings for the betterment of the health of our people.
It was an enlightening talk and the speaker was given
splendid attention. Supt. Lipps followed the Doctor
and took for his main theme the franchise of Indian
people, its value to them, and their places in the affairs
of our country. During the evening Victor Smith
sang a number, there was a selection by the choir
in which the solo part was carried by Mabel Halsey,
and the orchestra played an overture.
Mr. Teter, who is in charge of our Holstein dairy
herd, gives some interesting figures on our milch cows.
An up-to-date Babcock tester was recently installed at
the dairy and a careful record is kept of the butter
fat produced by each individual cow. The average
for Holsteins is 3.3, and our herd is making 3.7,
which fact speaks volumes. We have one cow whose
average is 5.4, which record will make many of the
Jersey cows keep busy to beat. One of our cows is
giving practically six gallons of milk a day. The av
erage for the herd of 24 milch cows is 95 gallons of
milk per day, which is an average of almost 4 gallons
per cow per day. The above is certainly a most grat
ifying report.
