We take pleasure in publishing the W. H. Lytle on last Sunday. It is a special Labor Day Sermon and published by requ est. Gen.

3:19. II Thess. 3:10. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou bread." "We command you that if any would cot work neither should he eat." Labor day has come to demand recognition in the list of great national holidays. But a few years ago when these honest sons of toil declared for a hoHday to celebrate in the interests of the great wage-earning classes, -questioned- the propriety of permitting any street demonstration.

Steadily the movement has in influence and favor as led by men of wisdom and national reputation until today its voice is heard in no uncertain sound declaring in the interests -of the classes. It is no longer a queetipn of right or solicitation for privilege, bin State and Church both declare in sympathy with it. The State saya: ''The National and State governments in recognition of the digr nity of labor having set apart the first Monday in September of each year as a holiday in honor of those whose honest toil is the foundation of national happiness and pros -perityrand-ilrbeing all should Join in doing homage to those who earn their bread in the sweat of'their faces, we do hereby cbunch-has increa9iEg portance erf the industrial problem, and that the labor question is fundamentally a moral and religious t'liej-tiea, and that it will never be settlwi upoa any babis, -we mon people. He set a premium on honest labor and gave new courage to 1 of mind or muscle. The greatest Economist of all time came to lift labor to its true level.

He was as truly about His Father's business" when toiling among His fellows as when teaching the great truths in the sermon on the Mount. It is as possible to serve the Master in the humble vocations of life as in the highest posit'on in the church. Doreas with her needle caring for the poor; Martha in her ministry in the quiet of the home; the woman with the elaborate box of ointment: the poor "Tn1te a noble service, and'these shall be told as a memorial unto them when the achievements of military fame, commercial honor, social distinction and political success shall hare been forgotten. "If you cannot speak like angels If you cannot preach like Paul, You Ujve of Jesus You can-say He died forall; If you your thousands You can give the widow's mite And the least you do for Jesus, Will be precious in His sight." The increasing difficulty in the business world today is that instead of regarding labor and capital as companions factors, money-declares itself as and the chasm grows wider. Byron has well said; "Such hath it the sun greatest number," President Rooeevelt declares that no man is above the law and no man below it, and demands equal and exact justice for rich and poor alike.

His voice is being heard through the Federal courts in the suppression of the unrighteous trust and a square deal is promised. The church has always been the friend of the working man. and today is extending the helping hand that unity of interest may pervade all institutions. Those whom the Master chose as His disciples and first promoters of the church were tradesmen. The textbook of the church is in sympathy wtth the laborer and the principles laid down would solve.the social question.

The labor leader finds it his best hand book. The leaders in the great reform movements in history were of and in sympathy.with the common people. The church today is giving true dignity to this common cause by her noble efforts through her chapels, Y. M. C.A's and her institutional churches.

In the city of London, in that district known as White Chapel, where a man's life was not safe, Dr. Bernardo organized a work in the interests of the working class. The meetings were held, Jb commend church through her proper to make a systematic study of the entire problem in their respective localities, and to push ag- whatever methods may bring about a mure coiJia.1 relationship between -the Church and Labor." Dignity of Labor is an im-porc- ant phase which must enter into the study of the problem, and not. until -we do we have -a true conception of its proper place in the great economy of the.world. "In the sweat of shall thou eat bread," is one The many still must labor for the While this is true and willcontinue in of men, a moral principal stands which muet sustain those relations which will -bring the highest good to all.

We are "members OEejOf janother'' in the-commerc- of the first principles of our being and often misinterpreted and -associated with the curse pronounced upon men making it degrading to necessitated to toil for an existence. It is a mistake for the command "Thou shalt dress the garden and is no part of the curse. It was to be the foundation of national happiness -and-prosperity-t-h-roughout all generations. The mark of prejudice and disdain has been placed upon the sons of toil by those who have never come to realize the dignity of human labor and their God 's great plan. To correct this misapprehension of labors true place 1 in the economics of -o 1y-to -br i ng- -s al v-atio r-o blood of the cross, but to dignify human labor and give to man a higher conception of the mission of life, "He ial, industrial, political and social world.

Toil cannot say to money, I have no need of thee, neither-can capital say to labor, I have no-need of thee. One law stands for harmony of which was, which is and which shall it came from the nioatU ox th Teacher. "Whatso ever ye would that should do to you, do you even so to them A study of the labor theme from the beginning gives to us a view of the first brothers as they bring the fruit of their labors, the early communal system, Roman slavery and mediaeval serfdom, and then comes the rise of the modern wage system which makes labor a. commodity on the value of which is too often -eontroled by the employer that.J.he greatest gain may reward "his investment. While the condition of the working class has vastly improved, is that he does not get full value for his earnings which go to enhance, the value- of sions.

Capital regards labor as his servant, but labor rebels and hence the great conliict in the industrial world today. Not until a true estimate is placed upon the value of labor and regarded in its true dignity, will true prosperity come to any people. We'd or tu a te con shadow of a fine large saloon and play room, called Edinboro Castle. The saloonist became interested and found salvation in Christ. That he might bring forth the fruits meet for repentance, he converted his place of business into a mission hall.

Industrial schools, reading rooms and various departments were soon established, through which thousands were brought into the church. No greater pleasure could be afforded any one than was mine on a Sabbath evening when worshipping with a congregation of 3000 people which had been, gathered the gutter, the workshops and the many humble homes. Never, did a hear the word nor more heartily sing the songs as led by the precentor, cornetist and choir of many voices. Every face was giving expression to a glad heart, and as I took many by the hand the usual expression of joy was "Bless the Lord who hath iife from destruction who crowns us with tender mercies." Many similar institutions are being established in our greater cities in which the masses are being interested, educated and The Seward of Labor ie the great incentive by which the toiling masses, are inspired to press on in the conflict. COUNTY FAIR WAS A HUMMER.

It is an old adage but true. "There is no excellence without labor." Car- lyle'has said: "Without labor there it no ease, no rest." Reward is the in- to all 'effort. The soldier is brave to face the glare otf battle, the hail of musketry, the 'bursting aster grew humble home of a working man, and own life He spent in the marts of business. He was'a carpenter, building homes and encouraging the industries of thecom- vditions-in-the laboring.classes of today. But when we hear the groans of the multitudes coming up from the "sweat shops" of strange.

The cry of the oppressed for relief is coming from all parts of the land and has reached the ear of the Chief Executor of country.

Whatsoever ye do whether in word or deed, do it heartily as unto the Lord. Would you obtain the mastery, then Republic County lias the Goods and Showed Them. The Republic County Fair will be an annual event.

This 13 assured by the grand succers of'the initial fair just closed. It was an event of-merit aDd it drew perhaps the greatest crowd ever before assembled in the county. And the crowd got what they came after. There was something for everybody: the-races, the live stock exhibit, the agricultural display, the horticultural household economy department and the various amusements on the grounds. A corn carnival pleases a certain class of people, a racing meet satisfies the horsemen, a street fair suits others, but for all- around general purposes a county fair seems to strike a popular chord, for you.get practically all in.one...

The attendance for the three days was good. The second day was the banner day in point of attendance, the crowd numbering something over 8,000 people. The weather was favorable and taken all in all the crowd was a good natured iot and seemed to enjoy themselves. The stock men of the county covered way of an exhibit. Practically every thoroughbred herd in the county was well represented, too, with choice animals.

The horticultural exhibit was creditable and the domesttc economy department showed that the -ladies had not been idle or dilatory in their preparations for the Fair. The agricultural exhibit was not what it should have been for a county like Republic and for a year such as 1905. We attribute this largely to the fact that a great many of the farmers of the county regarded this' mental one and they would attend more as spectators the first year, and the further 1 perhaps that tbey were not accustomed to the rules governing entries and exhibits. Next year you may expect a better agricultural display and a deeper interest manifested by the farrbers of the county. Repub-.

lie county is the best corn and alfalfa county and there is no reason why she should notshow up favorably with her sister counties when it comes Republic county is also growing to be one of the best live stock counties in the state. The attention paid to this industry by the breeders of the county is raising the standard materially and it will not be long till Republic will Fifty Years the Standard CREAM A Cream of Tartar Powder Made From Grapes No Alum head the list in this as well as other lines. (Everybody knows that it takes a lot of hard work for a few individuals to make an affair like this a success. The Telescope could name a half dozen people wlRTbave donated compensation for the success of the fair. We think it has been plainly demonstrated that the people of the county want an annual county fair and are willing to patronize one.

It is up to, the.commissioners now to buy the site, which we think they will do, so the association can erect permanent buildings and be better enabled to handle the crowds hereafter. Up to the 'dime of going to press the superintendents of.the various departments have not completed their awards While we give them in part, we when the premium awards will be published in columns. In the first day's races Rooster won the" three, year old trot and Goldie McGregor won the 2:24 pace. The second day. Clela won the pace Hilmah EL won the 2:27 trot.

Daniel Parks Dead. After a long and severe illness, Daniel Parks, age fifty-eight years and four months.succumbed to death's call on last Friday evening and closed his eyes to all that is worldly. The services were conducted from the Baptist church by Rev. L. B.

Parker, on Sunday afternoon, at three o-clock, after which interment was made.in.-the.Belleville cemetery. The deceased was born in Illinois, May 8, 184" and immigrated with his parents to Indiana in On September 21, he was married to Mary M. Reddiek, to which union were born five children, two girls and three boys, of which two boys have passed before. Mr. Parks united with'the Methodist church in Clay county in 1895, being a member until he moved to Belleville in 1896, where he united with the First Baptist church, of which he was an active member until the time of his death.

Besides a brother, wife and three children he leaves to mourn his death. For years he was engaged in driving a delivery agon and his cheery "good will be missed by every merchant and business man along the street as well as by every school boy.

The two young men were chums and roommates and so were the girls.

Thus associated friendship grew into a stronger feeling and this culminated in calling in the services of the clergyman at 5:30 Sunday evening. Now that they are married both households be under the rool at 620 Elm street.

On several occasions it has taken mail from three to four days to go from the county seat to these people who live but six to eight miles from Belleville, and visa versa. Three to four days is too long a time for Uncle Sam to get mail a distance of six to eight miles, caused by reason of the fact that these people, are served from Republic when they should be served from Belleville, their trading point and post office for a quarter of a- century.
