wALDo,s ABSURD CHARGES.

Until few days ago the great ma.
jority of newspaper readers of this
country were not aware that there
WAS II man by TIC name of Waldo In
Congress but they know It now and
II lisa notorlety that we'll notfn the end
rebound to the credit of the man who
represents Brooklyn district in the
lower branch of the National Legis-
lature. just what caused 1t Is not
known, but Waldo the other day had
n brain storm" There are 80 man:
causes of "brain storms" thnt the
Daily Press Will not even attempt to
tell what caused the Brooklyn man
To make tho absurd statements he did
relative to tho construction or battle
ships In private shipbuildlng yards.
Perhaps 1t would be just as we'll to
nscribe 1t to too much enthusiasm
for the naval yard In Brooklyn Any
way that is the most charitable way
to louk mt IL.
Mr. Waldo says that battleshlps
constructed in private ship building
yards are the very worst that float
the seas. He says that tho rivet holes
are filled with putty, soap and plugs
OF wood instead Of iron. The state
mcnt Is so absurd that II Is hardly
worth the space to comment on IL.
to rcfuto tho assertions ofesNcn II man
who absolutely does not know what
The Is talking about. Ignorimls has
not particularly pleasing sound nor
is II word that the average man
has any particular desire to have ap.
piled to his mental condition hut IL fits
mighty well when applied to Waldo
and his knowledge of naval affairs.
When he made the assertion that
battleships turned out of the Now
port News Shipbu'lding Companies
yards had rivct holes filled with putty
and pieces of wood he uttered IL de.
libcratG and malicious falsehood-
there Is n stronger word that could be
used but we refrain from so doing
Y Every ship that Is turned out by
the local company is inspected lsy
NAVAL officers sent to this city by the
NavM Department for that express
purpose from the day the keel is laid
till sheNs turned over to the nation,
and whcn> Waldo says that holes are
filled with Su;ly he casts reflection
upon the eiNire navy, for it is the
duty of these officers to see that cv-
cry roquremcnl\ in the specifications
is carried out to the mlnutest details
and by saying that they have allowed
inferior work to be-, showed on the
government lie says tllat these naval
officers are Incompetent and unrela'
bic and the intimation must be drawn
that Waldo believes that they are be.
ing bribod by the shipbuildmg com.
pany Could anything be more alb
surd than such charges? The Tepu.
tation of a naval officer is too dear
to shim to be mixed up in such misc{-
able business; but even granting that,
one case would exist where an Oft,
Ger would be tempted and did fail in
his duty court martial surely would
await him for his neglect of duty and
1t would be discovered long before
the sea fighter was accepted by the
Navy Department, The system Of in
: spection of the Navy Department
makes II utterly impossible for work
to be done of the kind that Waldo
says has been performed BY private
concerns

A Year With No Summer.

During the extraordinary year 1916,
according to best record, January and
FEBRUARY were warm and spring like.
March was cold and stormy. Vegetation
had cotton well on in April, when real
winter set in. Sleet and snow fell on
seventeen different days in May. In
June there was frost or snow every
night but three. The snow was five in
ches deep for several days in succession
IN the interior of New York, and from
ten inches to three feet in Vermont and
Maine. July was cold and frosty; ice
formed as thick as window panes in
every one of the New England States.
August was still worse; ice formed
nearly an inch in thickness and killed
nearly every green thing in the United
States and in Europe In the spring of
1877 corn which had been kept over
from the crop of 1875 sold from s. to $40
a bushel, the buyer purchase for seed
On May 10, 1885, snow fell to the depth
of foot in jamestown, w. Va, and
was piled up in huge drifts in most of
the northern states.

MANY FALSE REPORTS
Are Current Regarding the Yough
River Oil and Gas Company's Well.

Within the past few:days reports con-
corning the Yough River Oil and Gas
Company well, located on the Harmed
farm near Oakland, have been circulat-
ed in all parts of the country to the eff
feet that oil had been struck in paying
quantities at the depth of fifteen hun
dred feet, whereas the facts are the
well has been sunk to a depth of only
one hundred and twenty feet, this level
having been obtained more than two
weeks ago when the cable parted and
work was suspended until new rope
can be secured from the manufacturers
in Philadelphia
As stated in these columns last week
the cable was shipped from Philadelphia
on the nth inst, via Pennsylvania rail
road, instead Of over the Baltimore and
Ohio, since which time it has been lost
track of by the railroad officials.
Mr.. Galbreath, one OF the contracting
firm having the work of boring the well
in hand, went to his home near Wheel
ing on last Friday night and before his
return here he will endeaver to secure a
cable from some dealer in oil well sup
plies at Wheeling, which he will use un-
til the lost cable turns up at is destina-
ton. In the meanwhile work at the
well is at a standstill

to divine services and why some are,
and there is no better way for him to
receive this help than find 1t by visiting
among his people. A short time ago
we made a visit to a home and found
that not member of that family could
be at the service that evening, where
the rule is for four or five to be in al
most every service held in their church.
If we had not made that visit, we would
have wondered why none of them were
at the meeting, and, we might have
some vain imaginations" about it
but by visiting them and knowing the
reason for this absence, we were able
to preach better sermon and conduct
ed better altar service, than we could
have done with doubts in our mind as
to the reason for their absence: and, SO
it is, we never help others in our pas
toral visits more than we help our
selves.
We have received much help in the
'AA->-A'4'eo VI " 'SliiloLi ~ NlSillilS OuI Itb-
pie. After We have seen them in their
own homes, learn their bad as well as
their good qualities, observe their weak
ness and their strength in the faith of
the gospel of the Son of God, and charg-
ed our mind with all that has been said
or done, and when we occupy our sacred
throne IN the presence of God and his
people, facing these conditions 50 re
Gently learned, if we are living close to
God, if we are spending much time in
secret prayer, and if we are filled with
the power of the Holy Ghost, we will
find that the soied and faded manu-
script the product of faithful prayers
and hard study of the past, will be ig-
nored, and that fresh sermon from
the homes Of our people will take its
place, given US by the Holy Spirit,
which the inspiration of the hour will en-
able US to give unto our people, who
have come to the house of worship,
hungering and thirsting for the Bread
and for the Water of eternal life.
