understand the Bible?
(2) Higher criticism has very lit
tie to boast of.
An idiot with a knife in hand, let
loose in an art gallery, can destroy
more in an hour than Raphael could
create in a lifetime. 1t is an easy
matter to criticise and tear down,
but a hard matter to build up. Many
Of the supposed new discoveries of
higher criticism, such as the "docu-
ment hypothesis" the age Of the

90 The higher criticism will be
productive of the true Biblical criti-
| cism.
1t may be truly said that, in most
| cases, higher criticism has driven
| Christian men to the Bible, rather
than away from it. A Biblical criti-
! cism is now in process of formulation,
before which mere theory and specu-
| lation will disappear a. did the Span
iards before the guns of the Ameri-

it shall be Biblical in spirit, scope

form; Eel it shall be rational in its
! use of facts, non-tneoretic in its in

mate decision. The Bible is not op-
posed to reverent criticism, for its
standing invitation is, Come, now,
and let us reason together" The

Navajo County to Have a
Sanitarium

DIR. Geo. P. Sampson, who has
recently returned from Los An
geles where was in consulta tion
with the other members of the
board of directors of the White
Mountain Health Resort of Nor
thern Arizona, came up from
Winslow Sunday afternoon and
accompanied by w. B. Cross left
for Showlow Monday morning.
The Doctor had already select
ed the site for the sanitarium and
had secured an option on the
land some weeks ago. His pur-
pose in making this second trip
is to close the deal for the land
and to complete other prelimin-
ary details necessary before ac
tual operations are instituted.
The Doctor has devoted cOnsid-
cradle time to the careful Selec-
ton OF a site most suitable for
the successful realization of the
humane purpose in view. The
old Huning ranch on the Show
low situated in the foothills OF
this White Mountains was the
ideal spot chosen.
1t is said that there is no lack
of funds behind the project and
that active operations will be
commenced at once that will re
suit in the establishing of {
health resort second to none il

General Robert E. Lee.

To-day nearly every school and
town in louisiana and i'm the south
will celebrate the one hnndredth
anniversary Of the birth of Gen.
Robert <. Lee. We here published
the address of the comniittee:
To the People of Louisiana:
AS January 10, 1907, will be- the
one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of General Robert T.. Lee,
the people of this State, in COM
mon with those of the entire South,
should fit.iDgly observe and cele-
brate it.
The different Confederate organ
izations of New Orleans, represent
ted by a general committee in
charge, are arranging for the pro-
per observance of the day, and, in
order that it should BE- the success
it deserves, desire the support aud
cooperation of our people.
General Lee, one of the grandest
characters in the history of the
world, whether considered as a
man. a soldier. a citizen or Chris
tian. presents a worthy example to
all and particularly to the youth
of this country; the memory of
such man can never die, and it is
the duty of those identified with
the cause to which he gave the
best years of his life to bring up
the young to revere and honor so
great man.
The Governor Of the State of
Louisiana has issued an official
proclamation to the people of the
State, and in the City of New Or
leans it is to be hoped that on the
day named business will be gen.
orally suspended, SO that all may
have an opportunity TO take part
in the exercises which this CON-
mittee will announce 10 due course.
We ask that the public and private
schools of the State set apart an
hour on Friday, the 18th day of
January lowing to the fact that
there is no school next day., at
which time the Governors procla-
nation and General Lees farewell
address be read, and the teachers,
or some other person selected by
them, address the children Oh the
character of Gen. Lee, and that
there be sung Southern patriotic
songs and the favorite hymns of
General Lee: "How Firm Foun-
dation Ye Saints of the Lord" and
'For All the Saints Who From
Their Labors Rest" That the
school children of New Orleans
assemble at Lee Place on Satur-
day, the 10Th, to join in the songs
which will be there sung and lis
ten to the address, which, on that
occasion, will be delivered by
Judge Charles Z. Feuner.
That the children likewise, as
far as possible, be requested to at
tend the ceremonies Oh the even
ing of January 10, the place of
which will be announced later
We also ask that the people de-
corate their homes and places of
business, and particularly that this

out a system of Water Works is.
A very small fre--we may say an
insignificant one, started in bull
ding not measuring Is by 90, and
which VAS within so yards of Ba-
you Teche. The fire started at
about half past eleven in the NOR
ming. Close to this little building
were two other valuable buildings
which were thought to be in DO
danger whatever, for as We said,
the Bayou was within so yards of
this cabin and the fire engine with
in 30 yards. But before the fire
engine WAS gotten into readiness,
steam raised, hose screwed togeth-
er and other connections made, the
little cabin had set fire to the 9TH
er buildings, and when the fire en-
CINE did get to start the whole
neighborhood was enveloped in
flames. Besides the little cabin,
three valuable buildings were burnt
to the ground entailing loss of at
least $1,000 with $1,000 Insurance.
Now, some few mouths afterward,
IA fine system of Water Works
bloomed up, like so many flowers,
Al fire plugs or dydrants-a sys-
tenn which the dear town is proud
of, and the people are now wonder
ing how they managed to stay
without this necessity for such a
long time. One night, about two
weeks after our good and estima-
BILE friend, Geo. G. Morgan of
Chicago had come to give us the
parting handshake, and also to de-
monstrate TO our city fathers, by
actual test, what a magnificent
system of Water Works we had,
the fire alarm awoke the popuIa-
ton at about IL O'Clock D. m. The
store of Mr.. Frank Robin was seen
to be enveloped with flames. Be-
fore we proceed further let us tell
you that our plant had not COM
menced to run regularly yet, and,
consequently, there was no steam
up. But before the store was a
little less than half-burnt, the
steam was up. the connections with
the closest hydrant made, and the
fight on the fire started with three
streams of water, and was soon un-
der control. The raising of steam,
the making of the connections and
the controlling of the fire was done
within % minutes. Is not this a
system that We ought to be proud
of? And to whom do we owe this
magnificent plant? We are sure
no one will begrndge Fl. P. Four
net, our indefatigable Mayor, as
sisted by his engineer, Geo. C.
Morgan, the credit.
We are disposed to treat lightly
the fine system of our Electric
Light because some might think
we are too free with our praise, but
no, praise is due and the one who
merits the praise and the credit
will have it bestowed upon them,
no matter what may be thought.
Without going into details as to
the makeup of the plant, which
manufacturer this and that ma.
chinery was made by, suffice it to
say that it is beyond doubt the
best plant of its size in the State
of Louisiana. We know many
plants, and one, not more than ten
miles from us, that has cost four
times more than ours, from which
poorer results are being attained.
No, we ought not to say poorer re-
suits, because ours is giving salts

BIG WATERWAY SYSTEM.
Three Thousand Six Hundred Miles of
 River Accounted For.

An old river pilot. in discussing the presidents voyage down the river from St. Louis to Memphis, says that very little idea of the western system of waterways can be gained from so short a voyage.
 "The distance from St. Louis to Cairo Is 19S miles; from Cairo 10 Memphis. 241 miles, so that the presl- dent saw only 439 miles of our west ern system below St. Louis.
 "Now. the Ohio river from PittsDurs to Cairo, is 965 miles; the Kanawha IS 72 mIles: the Tennessee river, from Us mouth to Florence. Ala, Is zoo lniles: the Mississippi, from St. Pau' % Cairo, is 926 miles, and from Calro to New Orleans. just 1000. The MS sourl river from st.
