What the churches need to-day Is
not more spiritual power, but
knowledge of how to use the spirl'"a'
power already possessed.
Judge Samuel O. Artman, OF lnal-
ana, in a recent decision, denied Ihe
right of city, state, or the nation TO
license an open saloon. "WhateVer
is wrong cannot be lawful, whatever
is right is legitimate and lawful IL
must be held that the state cannot uh-
der the guise of a license delegate 10
the saloon business a legal existence
because to hold that it can is to holo
that the state can sell and delegate
the RIGHT to make widows and or
phans, the right to break up homes'
the right to create misery and crlme'
the RIGHT to produce idiots and luna
tics, the right to fill OrphanageS
poor-houses, insane asylumS, ]allS
and penitentiaries, and the right u
furnish subjects for the hangmah
gallows. 1t IS contrary to the sp'ri
and letter Of the constitutions OF tn
state and the United States.
We often hear the "canteen" in tn
army reduced drunkenness anon
the soldiers, and the argument is pre-
sented by the whiskey advocates 10
reinstating that institution in III
army. The court martial records &c
the last six years prove the CONTRARY
Here are some of the records:

Autos Dust Trains in Germany.

Berlin, Dec. 16-Virtually complete
transformation in the state railroad sys-
tenn is about to be introduced in Prussia.
On all except main trunk lines, automo-
bile cars, which run singly will replace
locomotives drawing ordinary trains in
all portions of the system. Prolonged
experiments have proved that such cars
running along rails as at present laid
possess immense economic advantages.
Some hundreds of these passenger cars
have been ordered, each provided with a
sixty-horse power motor.

The Morqsns Of Verm ont.

The government breeding station for
Morgan horses at Weybridge in Addison
county, is nearly completed, and soon it
will be heard from as factor in the i'm
provement of the general purpose horses
of the country. There never was bet
ter type of horse for the road and gener-
al purpose on shoes than the Morgan,
and Vermonters should take just pride
that here amid the Green Mountains he
is to be brought again to perfection.
The market for good horses of all kinds
has never been in more healthy, en-
couraging condition for the breeder and
horse handler than now. The evidences
on all sides, point TO shortage in the
supply of horses, such as are required to
carry on the necessary horse power of
the business and commercial affairs OF
trade, in every day life. 1t is folly to
think that the time is near at hand when
horse power will be dispensed with
through automatic means.
The horse is the safest, surest, most
economical power to use in short hauls
and local transfer of merchandise that
can be had. The compact, sturdy, relia-
BILE draft horse accommodates himself to
all kinds of conditions that are possible
to come up in the line of labor in which
his lot is cast. 1t is very seldom that he is
disabled or required to go to the shop for
repairs. He is not out-classed, and every
year rendered valueless by some little inn
provement or patent gotten out that aids
In operation and application of power.
He can be converted to many uses when
he ceases to be active as a drawer of
heavy loads. His whole life is one of SER
vice and value to his owner.
The opening up of railroads and the
building of transportation lines of various
kinds only add to the demand for the
draft horse. The more business in the
commercial world, the more horses it
, will require to carry on that part of labor
that cannot be successfully handled by
machinery.
No other country in the world has SC
great and diversified horse breeding in.
dustry as the United States, and no other
country can produce a horse that will
show more endurance and better con-
formation for the purposes that the horse
seems to have been created to fill. The
American bred horse stands today in the
front ranks as horse of quality, speed
endurance and all the desirable qualities
that go to make up the complete and per
feet animal. To maintain our prestige
and encourage our farmers to produce
horses of the best attainable type is the
purpose of this government station amid
Vermont's green hills.-Rutland Herald

A worthy successor of this weeks truly
remarkable holiday bill will be found at
Keith's next week, and the holiday flaw
or will not be lacking. for as a festive
occasion New Years week has come to
be looked upon almost on a par with
Christmas week.
That bunch of animation, Eva Tan
quay. well named 1.-The Cyclonic Come.
dienne," will head the bill. Miss Tan
guay's initial appearance in vaudeville in
Boston about year ago was great tri-
umph for her, and there is every reason
to believe she will duplicate her original
success. She has number Of new
songs, but still retains Il Don't Care" as
her piece de resistance, as it well de-
serves to he.
A new farce by George AIDE has come
to be looked upon as a real event in the
vaudeville world, for his "Marse Coving
tom and MRS. Peckham's Carouse' are
now looked upon as classics of their
kind. 1.-The Mayor and the Manicure"
is the title of his latest skit. and it will be
capitally played by Eugene Jepson and
company. Mr.. Jepson, who is recog-
nized as one of Americas best character
actors. has part similar to the one he
created in Just Out of College,"
the leading organization of the kind;
The Sandwinas, a pair of remarkable
gymnasts who have just arrived from
Europe, the Dillon Brothers, who an
nounce themselves as makers and re-
pairers of popular SONGS" Quinlan and
Mack, with their droll skit, 1.-THE TRAY
cling Dentist" Mr.. and Mrs. Gene
Hughes. in 'Suppressing the Press" the
1000 prize sketch; the Country Choir,
who sing the old time songs; Montgom
cry and Moore, in lively Offering that
includes some clever piano playing and
nimble dancing, and Little Hip, who
will entertain the children for his second
and last week, will all have prominent
places on the program.
The Pelots, comedy jugglers; Crouch
and Richards, banjoists; The Nohrens,
trapeze performers; Deery and Francis,
in lively sketch, and new Kinetograph
pictures will complete the show.
