PRAYER AGAINST STEALING
SUGGESTION FOR THE NORTH NE
BRAsKA ASSOCIATION.
DAY OF PRAYER AND PREACHING

AHtl-TlOToc lHlc' AsSoC'dtionS Ne
Asked to Set Aside Sunday, January
49,, as a Day on Which to Attack
Horse Thieves in the Pulpit.
Just now there is a new Kansas
idea" that may receive some atten.
ton from the North Nebraska Live
Stock Protective association when 1t
holds its annual meeting and conven.
ton in Norfolk next Monday. The
new Kansas idea is a day of prayer
and preaching against horse stealing,
which seems to be having a revival In
the west.
Circulars have been sent out to the
pastors of all of the churches In Kan
sas City, Mo, and throughout Kansas
by John w. Wall of Parsons, Kas.,
national president of the Anti Horse
Thief association, asking that Sunday,
January 49, be set aside as a day on
which to preach against horsestealing.
He suggests that the sermons should
be on public morals and respect for
the law in general, as well as bringing
out the evils and dangers of horse
stealing. He states that he makes
such request because this crime has
been on the increase the past few
weeks and because frequent instances
of house breaking and hold-ups have
been reported lately.
1t is his idea for the president and
members of the A. H. r. A. in each
locality to cooperate with the minis
tiers. He suggests that where more
than one pastor accepts the invitation
to talk on this subject, that one of the
preachers discuss the matter in his
morning sermon and the other in the
evening. He also urges that the mem
bers of the A. H. T. A. be well repre-
sented at the services. There are So
900 members of the organization in
America.
The society, he says, is doing all il
can to prevent and suppress law VIC
lations, but it needs the moral support

Washington, Dec. 28.-Within the
next few months federal law will go
into effect and cause no end of SER
the rate bill prohibiting roads from be-
ing interested in coal properties that
is chiefly worrying many Of the rail-
roads just now.
It will be two years in April since
the section was enacted, but strange to
tire country, as far as the interstate
commerce commission is advised, have
taken steps to get rid of their coal
property holdings.
Within the last few days attorneys
for several great roads have been here
quietly talking over the situation with
influential members of congress. The
roads they represent want some meas
ure of relief. Two suggestions have
been made. One is that congress shall
so amend the section as to provide that
no penalty shall apply until the section
has been tested in the courts. The
other is that the section as whole
ne Iepedleu.
The second suggestion, it is under
stood, has met with but little favor and
the attorneys are not yet certain that
they can get substantial support for the
movement to have the section amend
ed in way that would let them violate
the law without inviting penalties until
the supreme court shall have passed
on the validity of the enactment.
Some of the ablest railroad lawyers
are advising their employers that the
section is unconstitutional. They point
out that the law cannot be tested until
it becomes effective, and they do not
believe the roads should be punished
until the courts decide whether the
law is valid.

The One Joyous Impulse That Rules
the Whole Wide World.
There lives somewhere In the depths
of every human heart the divine spark
that we call love. 1t is the voice of the
universe slumbering In its narrow cell
to be awakened by a whisper or to cry
out In dear desire and hear the echo
Ing answer from another soul. With
out it life would be a pale, relentless
episode. Without its quickening force
no temples would be reared by human
hands, yet novels wherein 1t dwells be
come more glorious than palaces. Am
bition, fame and fortune are its slaves
1t chains the mind In sweet imprison-
ment, makes credulity a guardian queen
and lulls suspicion to repose.
No censorship of right or wrong can
light the way of love. 1t walks in
pathways all it's own. 1t laughs at
reason and dispels despair. 1t is the
lisping word Of children, the puzzle OF
philosophers, the talisman of rulers. 1t
Is the first and last of life-murmured
at the cradle, cherished at the grave
