1t is now learned that Senate Nor
gan's statement that ''we will beat
Mr.. Roosevelt for president if he is
nominated" referred to Alabama.
1t is believed that conditions are such
that, with hard lighting, Alabama,
in the next presidential election, may
go democratic.
Uncle Sam's annual dead-letter
auction sale was such success that
the post-ofiice department is prepar-
ing for another one to be held in Feb
ruary. The sale netted the govern
ment about $4,000, most Of the bid
ders being Of the fair and gentle sex.
II is hoped that those members and
senators who live in country districts
and went home for the holidays, be-
came stuck in the mud in SOME Of
rural roads. They might then be in
duced to vote for little less "pork"
in the river and harbor bill, and de-
vote the resulting saving to the bet
terment Of public highways.
1t is the custom OF the government
to embellish its paper money and it's
postage stamps with the busts Of dead
war heroes or statesmen. Uncle Sam
is now und acided whose likeness to
put on the new s0-cent stamp. Why
not make an exception and take some
living statesman or bureau Ofiicerl
There are plenty Of them who are
said 10 look like that.

The topic will be ssrhe Outlook Of

union services. Then will follow
the special services, to which all are
invited. We urge a prayerful CON
sideration of the soul needs. Shall
not all Christian people put forth all

and so insure spiritual growth for
themselves? "ae that giveth a cup

The presence of DR., Wrightamong
us was a source Of Jpuch profit. He
occupies in our church much the
same position as the bishop does in
the Episcopal church Elder Wright
has sixty-four churches under his
cafe. The problem Of supplying all
these with suitable and efficient pas
tors is no small one This problem
is all the more complicated now that
the time limit is removed. There
are many who argue that the five
year limit was better than the
present system with the limit off
The following are some of the argu
ments. 1t is urged that the removal
of the necessity OF any change
makes 1t all the more difficult tC
place the men and please the church
es where changes must be made
For example, it is easier to adjus
the appointments if there are fifty
changes than if only ten. If only
ten then man, receiving 81, 900
might fiud it necessary to NOV,
when no church Of his grade woul,
be open. If there were fifty change
that would not be likely to happen

e There seems to be a growing unfes

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk Of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

Next Lords day we will consider
the flourish lesson from the life OF
our Lord. namely His Herald,
John Baptist There is no more
remarkable human character ia an
the scriptures than this man and IL I
is hoped there may be a large con
gregation present to be benefited |
by the discussion. In the evening
the pastor breaches III the NJ. f.
church upon "Ths Outlook of the
Christian Church. " 1t win be

urged so be present.
It was with the greatest satisfao-
tion that the pastor observed the
marked increase in attendaue at the
morning servics last Sunday. Let
this standard be kept up the rest Of
the winter The enthusiasm Of any
pulpit must he fostered and sus-
tained by the pews or it is sure to
die away. It is our earnest prayer
that great improvements may be
made along all lines and the people
should at least do what they can.
The week Of prayer is progressing
very encouragingly. Both the at
tendance and interest seem promis-
ing Mr.. scudder's sermons and
that of Dt Wright on Tuesday ev.
ening have been interesting and in
structive. Is not the Lord among

kept for many of the guests never
dreamed they we're attending a
wedding, as they gathered tosee Miss
Van Etten off to her school again
as they supposed. But the surprise
only added TO the pleasant occasion

The Monroe Doctrlne

The Venezuelan trouble is still the
topic of the hour among Washington
statesmen. Many senators who are
not alarmists, see in the attitude Of
Germany and England, and especial
ly Germany, far more than appears
on the surface. Should the great
European powers, by their interfer-
ence with the importation of war ma
terials by the government Of Vene-
zuela, and the destruction of her
source ofrevenue, the customs, enable
revJlutionists pledged to British and
German interests, to overthrow the
existing government, the result would
be practically the same as though
these countries made actual occu-
patton OF territory. While maintain
ing the letter of the Monroe doctrine,
We should not permit its violation in
spirit, to any extent.

SUMNER GAMBLING.

The clubhouse at Saratoga turned into res
taurant, a seaside resorts largest gambling
house threatened with sale under the hammer
and the palatial metropolitan temples of chance
"closed for repairs"-these are points which, to
the casual observer, would indicate that gam
bling is on the wane and that the chip, the card
and the wheel have lost their powers over their
former slaves. In this case, however. the
stTaWs do not indicate the winds direction. for
the seaside gambler and his fellows at the inland
spas are just as anxious as they ever were to
make their expenses at the poker, faro or rou-
lette table, and despite all preventive regula-
tions they will play their game. There are men,
and, unfortunately, women, also for whom the
term vacation has no other significance than
a season of gambling, and for these the anti
gambling ordinance is a useless enactment.
ElaborateIy furnished and brilliantly lighted
apartments are not essential to the gamblers
happiness nor to the pursuit of his summer
pleasure. A room in a hotel or in a summer
cottage can be converted into a gambling place
with little difficulty, and there, with poker,
bridge, solo, pinochle and the various other
weapons made with cards, time may be killed
and money lost and won.
The restrictive measures are not without value
however, even if they fail to check the passion
of the player for the click of the chip and the
whir of the wheel. The glamour and the gilt
ter of the clubhouse have fascinated many
young men who had never bought a chip or
turned a card The handsomely furnished gam
ing saloons, with their rows of green covered
tables surrounded by men who watched with
eagernesS the progress of the tiny ball or the
movements of the man who manipulated the
cardbox, were always open to the summer visit
or. No questions were asked of the man who
came to try his luck, and hundreds of the in
is now a burden can trace their fall to these
places where they went lust for fun" or "only
to look on" Young and inexperienced men are
less liable to go to the gambling table where
they know that they will find experts and pos
sibly sharpers than to the lavishly furnished
public resorts where they are told that "every-
thing Is straight" 1t is the gambling CLUB"
with its beauties and it's intoxicating atmos-
phere that attracts the young man more than
the business for which it is maintained and
for that reason the closing of the clubs can have
only good results The confirmed gambler will
have his game, no matter what it may be- He
will always find companions and place. but
the temptation to take flyer" will be re-
moved from the young man. and also from the
older man, whose circumstances do not Justify
the risk
With the doors OF the gambling clubs closed
or with these places transformed, the Sights
of some of our summer resorts will be reduced
by one notable feature but the change will
stand to the credit of the people who brought it
about and will give others courage to follow
their example
