THE LAST WORD.

This is the final word. Tomorrow
the silent fall OF the ballots win re-
cord the will of the people. The can
didates ended their campaign Satur-
day. Perhaps. 1t was the same benefi-
cent Providence, that has guided our
-destinies, that directed the law
makers to fix the election date on
Tuesday; so that the voter has over
Sabbath to calm down from the fury
of the fight. and then another day to
deliberate before casting his ballot.
For, to the people. who have no pri-
yate, personal ends to subserve by
the triumph of one side or the other,
II is not a campaign of party against
marty, but Weighing of policy
against policy, and OF man against
man. To the patriotic, reasoning
citizen, voting is the selection OF the
man best suited for the Office, and the
adoption of the policy that will best
serve the public veal. Tonight at
the close of business, the voter should
rive his city. state and country an
hour Of HIS time. In the quiet OF his
AVA home he should studS the men.

historically true asranything in the BIZ
Bile. It is Just as historically true that
Jonah was in the waters of the sea for
three days and three nights.
Now Jonah was only an ordinary
chap. He could not have stayed in the
sea. all by his lonesome for three min
utes without becoming overwhelmed
with the water and drowned. Where,
therefore, did he pass these three days
and three nights under the surface of
the sea If not in the belly of whale
or some other equally big fish? There
was no other place for him to stay and
keep alive. t'- tfttf,- 2-t ~
1t may be remarked in passing that it
was mighty nice of the whale to be
around when Jonah was tossed into the
sea. 1t was equally nice for the whale
to get near the shore and let Jonah
swim to land after he had been given
plenty time to arrive at the conclusion
that 1t is good thing to obey the
commands and precepts of the Lord.
Likewise it was lucky for Jonah that
1t takes a whale an unusually long time
to digest the things it gobbles up.

JOINTs ARE NOT SALOONS

Those Wichita policemen may not
now be able to recognize a joint when
they see it, but they may learn a few
things before Attorney General jack
sons Office gets through with them
State Journal.
Can't we get you to understand that
this all happened over six months
ago, and that this testimony has to do
with a situation which was voted out
of existence in April. and is merely
being threshed through now in the
eternal grind of courts, following the
delays of the law and the thrift of the
lawyers. There are no saloons in
Wichita now and no fines are being
collected from this source.-Wichita
Beacon.
Topeka has not had for years any
open saloons such as Wichita has en-
joyed and boosted of until recently.
But Topeka did have numberless
joints and hidden drinking places I'M
til nine or ten months ago. Good in
formation comes from Wichita that
while the real saloons have been
closed there are plenty of joints and

The State Journals paragraph was
directed at the Wichita joints and still
holds good.

JONAH AND THE WHALE.

. OF course 1t will be exceedingly re-
freshing to get judicial determination
from such erudite gentlemen as preside
in the courts of Massachusetts, on the
truth Of the story of Jonah and the
whale-or the whale and Jonah, which
ever one pleases. This much mooted
question has been interjecNed in a suit
brought by the Christian Bible college
of Boston against the Rev. Gustavus
A. Hoffman. The suit is over a debt
contracted by the reverend gentleman
with the college. He repudiates the OBJ
legation because the college is not
orthodox. belief he entertained when
he contracted the liability. He insists
that the college is not orthodox, be-
cause among other reasons, 1t refuses
to accept the story of Jonah and the
whale Surely this is a sad condition
of affairs in any we'll regulated theo-
logical institution. Sympathy goes out
to theRev. Mr.. Hoffman. For whatever the
wearers of the ernine in Massachus-
etts may decide. it does not seem to
require the efforts of much OF a logi-
clan to prove the reasonableness and
truth of the tale of the whale and
Jonah.
Jonah, It win be remembered was
commanded by the Lord to go to
Ninevah and cry out against the wick
edness of the people there. This task
did not appeal to him SO he skipped
down to Joppa and boarded ship for
Tarshish in his endeavors to get as far
way from Ninevah as possible. A
tempestous storm came up. Shipwreck
threatened. The mariners were sorely
frightened. They proceeded to read
the riot act to Jonah for bringing the
wrath of the Lord upon them. He in
sisted that this would be appeased If
they sacrificed him and he magnani-
mously asked to be thrown into the
sea. Joyfully did the doughty sailors
comply with his request. Over the rail
and into the sea went Jonah. Irnmedi-
ately the sea became calm.
ALI this is historically correct. as

While the silyer-laden voices of the night

Did you ever seek Orion and the Little

In the brown eyes of a woman you have
striven long to WOO?
Have you sought to read her answer in
the glimmer of the stars?
Have you stared your eyes to aching at
the Pleiades and Mars?
Have you found the meadows studded
with forget-me-nots of love
As you gaze into the grandeur Of the
armament above?
Have you striven, man, to girdle "all the
earth" within your arm
AS you. note the consultations dart and
simmer with alarm?
Rave you seen the misty vistas of alright
within her die
AS you win her faintest answer to be
yours for aye and aye?
have you felt the rocking motion Of the
universe that dips
AS you press her closer, closer, slipping
honey from her lips?
