His Position as to Teaching the
Bible in the Public Schools.
Certain State papers in report
ing the debate in the House on
the bill to require reading and
teaching the Bible in the public
schools put down Representative
Geo. E. Hood. of this county, as
being opposed to the bill. This is
clearly a mistake. Those who
are intimately acquainted with
that gentleman are loath to be-
lieve that he would array him
self in opposition to any such
measure, and THE ARGUS is glad
to be able to present to it's read
ers a letter from Mr.. Hood writs
ten to a friend in Goldsboro on
the subject, which is as follows:
ST note the papers have had
me down IS being opposed to
reading Or teaching the Bible in
public schools. For fear Of being
misunderstood, I wish to make
the following statement: I OPP
posed the law because it fixed a
severe penalty that would have
worked an oppressive hardship
and would have seriously inters
fered with personal liberty and
freedom. However, we are pre-
pairing a law recommending in
effect that the teachers be re.
ouired to read the Bible in public
schools. L hope we will get i
through"

At the regular meeting of

Cured which is not against the
rules of the order TO make public.
When the Councillor reached the

arose and said:
Councillor and Brethren:
"Some few weeks ago I was
elected to deliver a memento
with appropriate remarks to a
member who had rendered dis.
tinguished services to this coun-
Gil. During the year just closed

bership.

contest had a two-fold object in
view. They were not only work.
ing for the prize, but they were
adding new members to our or
der, aud pray tell me in what
way could they better expend
their efforts. The Junior Order
OF United American Mechanics
has for its cardinal principles,
Virtue, Liberty and Patriotism,
"Ihose principles should en-
gage the attention Of the highest
as We'll as the lowest aud only in
lands where those principles are
reYerenced has civilization adj
vanced and is property and life

Those principles, it may be said.
are the profane precepts upon
which our order is founded, but
We go a step further and lncul-
cate morality with political eth
les, by demanding the reading Oi
the Bible, not to teach sectarian~
ism. but because it contains the
pocest code Of morals the world
has ever known.
"Nor do we stop here, my
brethren. The Master when upon
the earth said that charity was
the greatest Of all virtues. Oars
is a fraternal order and We would
be false to the principles which
we profess if we had not love iE
our hearts for our fellow man.
Charity is loye-~tha6 love tha1

OF the poor and assist a distressed
brother. All this and more WI
agree to do when we assume TIT
obligations of the order will

How the Saloon "Pays."

Mark Twain says a man bought a
pig for $1.50 and fed it $40 worth of
corn, and then sold the hog for 50.
He lost money on the corn, but made
$3.50 on the hog. That illustrates the
condition Of the saloons in every In
diana county. The saloons breed vice,
poverty, disease and crime. 1t costs
taxpayers thousands of dollars an
nually to prosecute the criminals and
paupers; but they are making money
from license fees on the saloons that
breed the criminals and paupers A
business man that would make such
an investment as that would be con-
sidered a financial idiot.-Patriot-
Phalanx.

These Give Sympathy and Help.

The National W. C. T. U. convention
took place at Ft. Worth, Tex, November
1920. Every state and territory was rep
resented, as we'll as several foreign lands.
The total membership Of the organization
is now about 100000. paid membership
100000. The receipts for the past year
were $4,000. A half million copies Of
temperance news and five million pages
Of leaflets have been sent out during the
year The convention gave much atten-
ton to the evangelization Of our new
islands. Thirty-four women occupied Fort
Worth pulpits on Sunday. Resolutions
were adopted opposing the repeal Of the
anti-canteen law and declaring the purpose
of the organization to ask Congress to
provide comfortable amusement room and
an improved ration for the soldiers; urging
the Importance of the revival of Christian
citizenship founded on divine ideals of
righteousness; favoring the solution of la
Dor troubles by arbitration, and calling
upon workingmen to join the battle against
the saloon; and calling for equal suffrage.
The officers were reelected.

CAMPAIGN OF 1901.
Prohibition Column Holds Firm.
Several Candidates Elected and
Other Advances Made

Returns of the Prohibition vote in
the states which held elections this
month are as yet very incomplete. In
general, while there was a material
falling off from the Republican and
Democratic presidential vote, the Pro-
hibition party lost less than they, and
in some cases gained.
Interest centered in Iowa, where we
nearly or quite doubled Woolley's vote
of 9,5O2, although the total number of
votes cast was 100000 less than last
year. Many counties increased from
100 to 300 per cent over the largest
vote ever given the Prohibition party.
In many precincts we received more
votes than did the Democrats. Prohi-
bitionists are jubilant.
In Fordsville, KY, we elected our
candidate for mayor, police Judge and
every councilman. This is the home
OF the state paper. Oswego county,
~ Y, gave us over 700 votes. Roches-
ter gave our candidate for mayor e6s
votes as against 100 last year. In
spite of the frantic appeals to Prohi-
bltionists to unite and down Tam
many" we have more than held our
own in New York City.
Ohio Prohibitionists are rejoicing
over the fact that they have at last
won a place on the official ballot. This
will enable them to nominate in eyery
county in the state hereafter.
Pennsylvania put up splendid fight,
one feature being the extensive free
circulation of The People. The
fusion movement may have decreased
our vote somewhat Fred T. McCol-
lum, Prohibition candidate for sheriff
OF Venango county, won over both the
Republican and Democratic candi-
dates. He received 2,S2S votes as
against Woolley's 1884. w. w.
Lathrope, Prohibition candidate for
judge in Dauphin county, re-
ceived 931 votes. The state ticket
carried three precincts in Lawrence
county. Allegheny county gave us
6S7 votes in 1899 and 1874 last year,
but with only half the total vote of
last year, gives us 2,051. There has
been weekly circulation of 5000
copies OF The People in this county
Rhode Island gave Woolley 1929 votes
and Metcalf for governor in 1900, 1849
It now gives Brightman for governor

These Need Sympathy and Help

The Home Defender, published by
two Chicago boys, truly and eloquent
ly says:
The American people have opened their
hearts in sympathy for the grief-stricken
woman who followed that enshrined cas-
ket in the heart Of the great professions
that made their way to Canton last week.
God pity and comfort her. Bereft Of the
love and tenderness that have so long
hedged her about, she deserves the ma
tion's sympathy and she has it. But while
she weeps, the widows Of the victims OF
the liquor traffic, by the thousand, take up
the burden Of widowhood, and alone, al
most without sympathy, unknown, unbe-
frianded, turn to the washtub and the
scrubbing brush to earn. in in paltry shil sh Ill
may pay the funeral expenses that buried
away their shame ana sorrow, and keep
life in the little ones that are left to the
awful heritage of drunkard's children

pers tell them of public sympathy, Con-
gress votes them no pensions. Unknown,
uncared for, forgotten of all save God.

MILES SETTLES 1T.
Several Canteen Lies Punctured by
Gen. Miles Official Report. The
Canteeners are Blue.

The official report of Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles, commanding
the Army, has well-nigh given the
death blow to the hopes of the pro-
canteen propagandists of the War De-
partment and elsewhere that Con-
gress will repeal the Anti-canteen law.
They have published it far and wide
that the abolition of the sale of liquor
at post exchanges had greatly increas-
ed tho rumber of desertions. General
MiIss proves by the records of the
first six months of 1901, the beginning
of the operation of the new law, that
there has been a SMALLER PER-
CENTAGE OF DESERTIONS THAN
AT ANY OTHER TIME DURING
THE PAST TWENTY FIVE YEARS.
THE PERCENTAGE OF THE FIRST
SIX MONTHS OF NO CANTEEN
HAS BEEN LESS THAN HALF OF
THE RATE OF THE MOST FAVOR
ABLE OF ALL THE CANTEEN
YEARS.
The nation has been solemnly warn
ed from official sources that enlist
ments would be difficult or impossible
if the soldier were robbed of his
beer" Gen. Miles produces the fig
ures and declares that sTHE RE-
CRUITING STATIONS HAVE BEEN
THRONGED WITH MEN SEEKING
ENLISTMENT FOR THE SERVICE"
1t has been stated confidently that
men who have not formed the drink
habit are rare exceptions in the army.
General Miles declares that "THE
ARMY IS COMPOSED PRINCIPALLY
OF YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE NOT
FORMED THE HABIT OF USING
LIQUOR"
Dazed by the -forwardness Of
Gen. Miles testimony, and realizing
how great will be it's influence over
Congress, Gen. Corbin is crying Turn
coat" And many journals opposed to
the canteen have innocently stated
that Gen. Miles formerly favored the
canteen. This is an errer.
The War Department is quietly CIV

Changed his mind" an extract from
