GIANT OCEAN CRAFT
Transcontinen Q ntai Ra ilroad Line
Builds Largest Stes mship
in tho World,

In March of this year the two largest
steamships ever, until then, construct
ed in America, we're launched on the
Delaware and turned over to trans
pacific steamship company for service
on it's Pacific coast Hong Kong line
In April the largest steamship ever
built anywhere in the world was
launched at New London, Conn, and
she, too, is destined to aid in the ad-
vancement of our Oriental trade.
So rapidly has our trade with the
Far East grown within the last de-
cade, that two Japanese. and several
American companies are spending mil
lions upon millions in their efforts to
outdo each other in the construction OF
the most capacious carriers. Japan set
the pace by laying keels for half doz-
pacific trade; the Pacific mail followed
suit with the Korea, the Siberia, the
Minnehaha and the Minnetonka, of
double the capacity of the Japanese
boats, and the Great Northern company
Immediately raised the capacity of its
proposed vessels from 10000 to $4,000
tons. 1t was the Minnesota of this
line that was launched at New London
to be followed in sixty days by her
sister ship the Dakota.
The carrying capacity of the Mime
sofa makes the Cedric's, the Ocean
icas and the Cymric's of the Atlantic
fleets appear liliputian by comparison,
for either of the Great Northern boats
will carry one-third more freight than
could any vessel that has ever crossed
tie Atlantic.
Freight rates, it is promised, will be
cut in two, so that no European ma
ton need hope to compete with us in
the Orient. That smaller vessels will
be unable to compete with these large
carriers is demonstrated by the fact
that although Japan gives large s,rbsi-
dies, and the Japanese pay their sail
ors less than one-tenth the wages OF
American sailors, not even the new
6,000-ton boats will be able to carry
freight profitably in competition with
the American Pacific liners With both
our transcontinental railways ending
at San Francisco and Seattle, building
the largest steamships in the world
and the TransSiberian preparing to
follow suit, it seems inevitable that the
aay of great achievements must soon
set upon the Atlantic to dawn again
upon the waters of the Pacific, tribu-
tary to the shores of which live near
ly billion human beings who are rap
idly learning to feed upon our western
-four, clothe themselves in southern
cottons and utilize the inventions of
the Northern Yankee.-Collier's Week

Christian Scientist Again
Makes Reply to Rev. SChaub

Editor. of the News-D Democrat: While
recognize that the newspaper Is not
the place for religious discussion,
find that you have published an an
swer from Rev. schaub to mN letter Of
14th inst, and will you kindly permit
me space In which to reply again:
Had Luther recognized that his was
Strange hand with a strange Key,
endeavoring to take possession Of an
other domain" the letter of Rev.
Schaub had not been written. But all
Christcndom recognizes his RIGHT To
the role he played, although some de-
nominations objected to 1t strenuously
and still object, and yet, why should
his followers object in their time be-
cause some other one in the present
age has discovered and founded the
Science of Christianity and whose fol-
lowers are endeavoring to follow the
Christ to the best of their understand
ing?
Answering his Ave reasons:
First--H Rev. Schaub will read care
fully the first chapter OF Genesis and
the first five verses of the second, he
will see the record of creation In which
Christian Scientists. believe There
man was made in the image of God.
That must have been spiritual crea-
tion and God being Spirit, His image
must be spiritual. Could the spirit
ual image OF God be sick, sinful, etc?
No, the image must be like the oriei-
nal and God cannot be sick or sinful.
C,I- .,,tI
these statements Then what man Is
It that gets sick or sinful? Christian
Science teaches that 1t is the man
whose record Of creation Is cited in the
seventh verse Of the second chapter
of Genesis, after the mist arose,-and
that man Is mortal man,-the counter
felt Of the true man, the image Of God,
Mortak, with rare exceptions, grow
up to know all about mortality and
very little about immortality. John
gained an understanding Of the true
man and yet did not know what he
would be like until he should fully un-
derstand the Master, John, 3-2.
Second.=-None of. the apostles ever
taught the personality of God. Paul
and John tell us that God is love, light
spirit life, good, Infinite, ETC., Jesus
never said anything about the person-
ality Of God. Indeed. ! venture to say,
that the personality of God" is not
written and does not occur in the bi-
BILE Nor is God referred to as person.
Notwithstanding the arrestion of Rev.
Schaub. Christian Science does. not
deny the personality of God, but al
lows that II there is Personality Of
God" 1t is the infinite personality, for
God is all In all,-infinite
Third and Fourth.--Christian Sci
ence does deny the reality Of sin and
sickness for ali reality is and must
be insGod and surely there is no sin

The market conditions are being af-
fected by dry weather. Strawberries
that are being received from. the south
are beginning to fall off in size and
quality because of the drouth, but In
spite Of the poor condition the prices
are keeping up. Home gardeners do
not expect to be able tomarket any ber-
ries before the latter part OF next
week. They report a good stand OF
green fruit and blossoms, but all agree
that unless there are some good rains
there will not be a full crop.
Planting of celery is being delayed
by reason of the dry weather. The
gardeners say that it involves too

Judge John w. Mason. of Fair
mont, speaking of tax reform,
struck the nail on the head when
he said that new laws are not so
necessary to tax reform as proper
administration of the present lave.
Governor White says that the rail
roads are not paying just proper
ton of taxes, and yet he is one of
the board that assesses the rail-
roads. The railroads pay all the
taxes that are assessed against
them, and the present law provides
for fair aud equitable assessment.
The same may be said of coal. The
present law provides for the assess
ment of coal lands and if coal is
not paying its just part of taxes it
is because the law is not being
carried out. If the officers, whose
duty it is to assess coal lands, place
valuation of So 90 an acre ON coal
lands that are selling for $4,000
an acre, the fault is in the men who
execute the law, and not in the law.

nesday evening, October 81, after
