BRUTALITY IN ARMY
MATTER COMES UP IN GERMAN
 RE1CHsTAG.
War Minister Admits That Crimes Have Been Committed, But Thinks Them Only Isolated
 Instances.

Berlin, Dec. 11.-In the Reichstag to- day, War Minister von Einem entered earnestly into the charges of brutality and immortality brought against German army officers without attempting to ex- culpate them. He admitted there had been abuses and declared the army ad- ministration was determined to correct them so far as possible. Nobody regretted the evils more than the Emperor, who never lost an opportunity to impress the seriousness of the offenses which had been brought to light.
 Referring to Lieutenant Bilsen's book. "A Little Garrison" ltelling of alleged ac- tions discreditable to officers. for writing which the lieutenant was sentenced to six months Imprisonment and dismissaD the war minister said 1t contained a cer- tain amount of truth, but 1t was not true that every lieutenant in the State garri- sons lived as Biisen had stated. The min ister did not deny the possibility of cor rupt relations between officers and wom- on in a few cases. but the assertion that such were the rule. was a elander against German womanhood.
 Regarding the brutalities, the minister declared that such incidents were not wholly inexplicable. There was the bad private soldier as well as the bad ser- geant and the bad private was largely responsible for the whole difficulty, suc- ceeding by the most devillsh ingenuity to so imbitter the non-commissioned ofii- cers that the latter finally vented their anger upon the weddings.
 Herr Richter. discussing the manner in which private soldiers were handled, said what incensed him, to the highest degree was that a single non-commissioned of- ficer could commit maltreatment 1200 times and that, too. in the bodyguard
 Herr Richter adversely criticized the maintenance of the East Asiatic brigade and of fleet station with fourteen ves- sells.
 Baron von Kardoff warned the govern ment against making commercial trea- ties with European states before denounc. ing trade treaties with the States over sea-
 The Baron then discussed the enormous increase In the socialist vote. He said he would not assert that the army had grown untrustworthy, but he declared that its ranks were filled with socialists
 At any rate something must be done to prevent the growth of the social Demo- cracy and the most effective means to this end would be to withdraw the suff- rage for five years from socialists who profess to be revolutionists or Republi- cans.
 This statement was greeted with social ist laughter.
 The government must do everything in its power, for if nothing Is done, revolu- ton is coming with certainty.

 The Teacher's Lantern. For the temple was not merely an archi- tectural achievement and wonder; it was
 the very heart and citadel of civil and
 religious life. What the Forum was to Rome. and the Acropolis to Greece. Solo mons Temple was to Israel. It seemed
 to be an evolution of national lite--a fair fruit of Patriarchal. Mosaic. and Davidic
 epochs. The nation Nalso was at it's best when in subsequent eraz 1t was restoring,
 rebuilding, or defending it's sacred fame. The dedication of the Temple marks a distinct epoch In Hebrew history. It was the beginning of the evolution of ecclesi- asticism and rituaiism, which reached it's absurd and wicked extreme in our Lord's day, and which he smote with the rod of his mouth.
 This is an example of the misuse of the good. The Temple and its service was
 designed to be an instrument of individual and national righteousness. It was so perverted from its right use, however,
 that its final destruction was an actual blessing.
 But hypocrisy and Journalism are not the inevitable consequences of ritualisln
 They are allowed to creep in unawares when the Lords people are off guard. The pre-eninence of Solomon in the dedicatory services is worthy of mention. He is the most conspicuous figure. He ofiiciates at altar and in pulpit. It is he
 that prays, sacrifices, consecrates and blesses He is the imperial minister to the congregation. the kinglv host to Jehovah, who becomes that day the na-
 tion's abiding guest.
 Solomon's dedicatory prayer is by far ] the finest example Of it's kind extant. It
 Is a faultless model It is elevated, com prehensive, profound, reverent It is the onering up of the sincere desires, not of one. but of many. It is a confession of
 the peoples faith; a setting forth. i'm clear and highly appropriate terms, of the
 general truth universally accepted Bahr says well: There is not a prayer 10 be compared to this in all pre-Christian antiquity. Had we nothing belonging to , Jewish antiquity but this prayer. 1t would
 alone suffice to attest the depth, the
 purity. and the truth of the IsrAelitish
 knowledge of God and of salvation, over
 against the religious ideas of all other
 peoples"

barrier yesterday afternoon in the dis
trict court, when Judge T. B. Wall offered
demurrer that the evidence introduced
was not sufficient TO constitute a case

but yesterday it narrowed down to a suit
for personal damages TO a certain trunk
and it begins to look as if the judgment
will amount to a very few dollars.
About : half of the town of Cheney is
mixed up in the suit and every one in the
