At the Christian Church.

Elder Charles N. Williams de-
livered a very forceful sermon at
Christian church last evening to
a large congregation. "Run
with patience the race set be-
fore you" was his text and after
a good sermon of over thirty
minutes he extended the gospel
invitation and four came forward
to united with the Discislesof the
Jennings congregation. Elder
Williams is preparing for the
meeting which is to commence
about November 18th, led by the
state evangelist Haddock and his
assistant. The congregation ex-
poets to do much good in the city
and add many moreto their num-
bers during this feast of praise
and sermons. This makes thir-
sy-one additions since Elder
Williams took charge of the
church.

Chicago a Thirsty Town

The Prohibition campaign book,
compiled and edited by AlonzO E. Will
sen, of Chicago, is cut The book is in
pamphlet form and fills 100 pages. Some
interesting data are contained, and as
a reference guide it is invaluable to
letcurers and speakers who are work
ing against the rum traffic.
Among the other things the book
contains is the announcement that
Chicago is the most intamperate city
in the country. Mr.. Wilson has use1
figures that show Chicago to- have sa-
looms that if put side by side would
reach thirty-one miles long. The
churches would make eight miles.
E. P. CASTOR has an article in the
book in which he says "The liquors
consumed in Chicago last year would
float the biggest ship on the lal0ss and
If put in a mammoth vat would COM
pletely immerse the Masonic Temple" "
He says there are 6,733 saloons in the
city and that the cost Of intoxicants
sold last year amounted to 1925, ,739, ,18S.
The book is printed by the United Pro-

Stories From Here and There
Life-savlng Kites

There is at present on exhibition in
the Paris office OF the Societe Centnale
de Sauvetage des Marriages an ingen-
ious life-saving kite which is known as
the Cerf-Volant B. G. The initials
stand for the name of Comte Brossard
de coIbigny,, the inventor Of the kite.
The form of the cerf-volant is that
familiar to all schoolboys, and it is
said that it is much more eerviceable
aboard ship than any other description
of life-saving apparatus. The wind
that blows the ship ashore carries the
kite inland, and when it is over the de-
sired spot an ingenius manuever
brings the guide rope within reach of
those on terra firma.
Communication being thus estab-
lished between the ship and the shore,
the greatest difficulty is overcome, and
the rest is comparatively easy. A
pocket in the kite contains a series of
signals and accommodation for a mes
sage from the shipwrecked crew, and a
receiver and transmitter fer the estab-
lihimg Of telephone communication
are also attached.
The invention of Comte Brossard de
COrbigny has been tried with salts
factory results at Toulon and Brest,
and an effort is being made to secure
its adoption by the shipping of all ma
tions.

JUST RE coon

We wish to express our strong appro-
baton OF the political editorials of our
morning contemporary. They breathe
such a spirit of kindness and gentle
ness. The candidate who is duly Sc
lected and entitled to support is placed
alongside of the one who has gently
manipulated the ballot box; nobody is
given a preference. This is undoubted-
ly proper, since those engaged In the
gentle art of manufacturing returns
should be left to the lash of their own
consciences.
Therefore it is well to fall back on
the generol admonition TO "be good"
IT is safe, and is not open to question.
When there are two candidates Of the
same party running in one district, it
helps matters very much to express re-
gret and to state in general terms that
the voters should do their duty. 1t is
certain that somebody will be elected,
and then 1t will be apparent to the sue
cessful candidate that our contemporary
has accomplished the result unhided--
at least, 1t VIII have the opportunity
to make that claim.
What a light this position throws
upon the dark page Of history;
Had Patrick Henry George Washington
and other mistaken men Of their Gay
been less strenuous, there would hav,
been no Revelation, and we should now
be enjoying the gentle sway OF English
rule. Had the great Northern press
been skilled in the mild and gentle arl
Of gloss, Abraham Lincoln might not
have resisted the Confederacy, and in
stead Of one government we should
have been blessed with two.
The proper policy fer a newspapel
is not to lead public thought but tC
follow il; not to favor certain candi
dates, but to support them after theil
election; not to denounce fraud unless
it proves unsuccessful. Thus no en-
emies are made, and public printing Il
assured. or course allmen withred BLOC,
in their veins will admire this kindly
! gentle, negative journalism.

Roosevelt's Fight

Two Harvard students were Battling
for the boxing chamL icnship. Both
were prominent men in college ath-
letics, and a crowd of enthusiastic sup
poiters cheered en- the match. One, a
member Of the Senior class, had the
advantage of longer reach over his
Junior adversary, who, in turn, was
trifle the quicker of the two. All this
farpsned about a score Of years ago.
The agile juniors name was The
dcre Roosevelt, and he was getting the
best of it when the time bell rang to
end the round. AT the sound his hands
dropped to his side, but the long armed
senior, not hearing the gong amid the
confusion Of cheers and rapid exchange
of blows, struck out sharply with lis
left ard lanled hard jab cm the youth
full Roosevelt's nose, which Logan to
blsed freely.
There was muTmur of disapproyal
from the unlocking students, and then
a chorus Of long drawn Kisses broke
out around the hall In an instant
Roosevelt's hand went up to ask for
silence, and lhis face wore the coed
humorad eXprdlEion that has won fo-
him so many warm friends all over the
country.
His voice was earnest and cordial,
too, and what he said was "a good eE-
ample of his subsequent attitude toward
fair play in politics and elsewhere. 1t

President Roosevelt can be but dimly

dence Of the people in his ability to
aave them from the impending oatas-
trophe. They trust MIN as no man IN

heart Of things and percelving the ele-
mentary justice of a cause through
all the fcgs Of Journalism and pet y
tCchnicalities. The American people
are slow to believe in the entira sin
cerity OF their politicians, but when
It was announced that Theodore Roose-
velt had taken the coal strike in hand
they put away partisan suspicion as en-
unclean thing and gave TO him theiI

have been in court of justice The
members Of the District Committee
hearing the contest were sworn in due
form, as likewise were the witnesses.
The testimony was elaborate, and
covered the whole case. The polls were
closed at the proper time, and then the
doors were locked, the windows closed
and the shades pulled down, making it
impossible for anyCne outside to see
into the room. All were deni admit
tance, though they demanded II, and
this condition lasted, according to all
the testimony, from eight 10 fifteen
mirutes. All OF this was in utter de-
hance OF the law and naturally croat-
ed suspicion. These facts we've testi-
fed TO by the three policemen detailed
to that locality and by a number of
other peuons. All declared most p5si-
lively thht the blinds were pulled all
the way down.
Then the afidavits we're produced.
The three notaries declared that they
did their duty as imposed by law, which
nobody should have disputed. Each
man WAS interrogated as to how he
voted, and when there was any doubt
the affidavit was not taken. There was
no inducement of amy kind offered, not
cigar nor a drink. There were near
ly seventy OF these affidavits, and there
wre the names Of enough other per-
sons willing to testify in court to
bring the list up to l05, and they arc
coming in every day So it appears
from the best possible evidence that
over 100 persons voted for Sparks aud
Rudolph, while the count gave them
only thlrty-fve each.
Tho committee could not do other
wise than to throw out the vote Of the
district and declare Sparks and Ru-
dolph the nominees They have tights
in the matter. but the rights Of the peo-
pie are paramount When a man puts
a ballot in the box he has right to
see that It comes cut and is counted,
and with this idea in view the COM
mittee yesterday took the only pos
sible course.
