WHY PRAY FOR SOULS
OF DEPARTED. HE ASKS

A question of theology, has been
reused by the publication that, at their
weekly meeting Monday, the Baptist
ministers offered up prayer for the sal
walton &of the souls of those who per-
ished in the earthquake in Sicily and
Italy. Dr. E. d. Fleetwood points out
that the possibility of salvation of the
soul ends with death. according to the
Baptist theology, and asks, How can
our Baptist brothers consistently and
sincerely unite with the great Roman
church Sin her prayer for the souls OF
the departed?
The publication referred to was sim
ply to the effect that prayer for the souls
of the dead in Italy and Sicily was Of
fered up by the Baptist ministers.
Following is a letter received from
DIR. Fleetwood by Ane Journal:
Editor The Journal. Dear Sir: The
enclosed news item in Mondays Journai
aroused rather an interesting question
in my mind, and / turn to you for its
answer.
twas your reporter quite correct In
stating that the Baptist ministers offer
ed prayer for the souls of Italy's earth
quake victims? While this may seem
quite trivial to you, yet there is involved
in the answer quite a significant princi-
pie of theology.
ST have always been taught that Bap-
tist eschatology in common with that or
most orthodox branches of the Christian
faith assumes and declares that all hope
of the souls salvation and reconcilia-
ton with God ends with the death of
the body. If I am correctly informed,
then the question naturally arises in my
mind, How can our Baptist brothers
consistently and sincerely unite with
the great Roman church in her prayer
for the souls of the departed?
81 should indeed b. greatly encour-
aged to be able to believe that sufficient
light had filtered into the Baptist theo-
logical mind to inspire the faith that the
Creator has jurisdiction in eternity as
well as in time, but, before congrat-
ulating my orthodox brethren for this
evidence of a widening of the spiritual
horizon, 1 should really like to know
just what did happen at the meeting on
Monday morning."

KNIGHTS OF ZION

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE knights OF
Zion have opened two days session
here. Grand Master Leon Zoletkoff. speak
ing Of the progress of the general Zionist
movement said:
"Only a decade ago. Zionism was rid
iculed as Utopian and visionary. for It
seemed to be entirely out Of keeping with
the consecrated beaten track and the in
veterate humdrum of the workaday
world. Yet today. the nucleus Of an old.
new nation, with cultural conditions of
its own, is in process of formation In
Palestine before the eyes Of the civilized
world
Max Nordau has sent the following
greeting from Paris:
'T hail the twelfth annual convention
of the Order Of Knights of Zion with
delight. You meet at a moment Of the
greatest import for Zionism and Judaism
in general. The new political situation IN
Turkey ought to act as a powerful in
centive for Jewish immigration to Pales-
tine, which is going to become a free
and well governed country. But this i'm
migration needs preparation and that is
the work of ZionisKn.'

ARMY is CRITICISED
BY HOUSE MEMBERS

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. S.-Sharp
criticism of the army and its manage
ment is being heard about the capitol.
Some of the most pointed remarks have
been published in the official record of
the testimony taken before the house
committee on military affairs in connec-
ton with the army appropriation bill
1t developed that $10,490 had been ex-
pended for mileage in connection with
the horsemanship tests ordered by the
president This money, it was explained,
was disbursed in order to assemble the
officers on what was deemed a proper
course, such as at Fort Ethan Allen, in
Vermont, and Fort Meyer, in Virginia.
THAT $4,000 is a useless expenditure,
declared Representative Anthony, of Kan
sas. Those tests could just as well be
taken at the posts where the officers are
stationed"
Yes, or riding around a fair ground"
suggested Representative Slayden, Of
Texas.
Chairman Hull, of Iowa, came to the
rescue with remark That produced
laughter. He suggested that it would be
well to have the officers ride in schools,
with some one to watch them, as he un-
derstood that at the last ride at Fort
Meyer ''some old colonel had tc have a
man on each side of him to see that he
stayed on his horse"
At this point Representative Parker, Of
New Jersey, was moved to say: You
know we have decorated forty old fellows
who are no good, but who are broken
down with drink, and that will save the
government lot of money"
Representative Capron, of Rhode Island,
expressed a wish that the same test
might be applied to members of congress,
whereupon Representative Price, Of ILL
nois, suggested that the secret service
would take care Of that, as that is what
the president wants"

FOOD STUFF RATES \
TO Be APPEALED
DECISION OF CIRCUIT COURT TO
BE APPEALED TO SUPREME
COURT BY ATTORNEYS FOR
THE MERCHANTS.

Notwithstanding the recent decision OF
the United States circuit court of appeals
at New Orleans, it is by no means yet
certain that the Southeastern Freight as
ISOLATION has succeeded in it's effort to
impose an increased and onerous freight
rate on the merchants and general pub
lie of Georgia.
An appeal from that decision is now
being prepared and within the next few
days will be taken to the supreme court
of the United States. The case which
involves this principle is known as the
Macon Grocery company and others
against the Atlantic Coast Line railroad
company and others. Last summer. 1t
will be recalled, when the roads COM
posing the Southeastern Tariff associa-
ton attempted to inaugIrate a rate thaS@
would cost Georgia and other sout
states combined millions of dolla
year, they were enjoined from dom
by Judge Emory Speer, of the u
States circuit court for the south
district of Georgia.
The ground on which an induction wal
sought was this: That the Southeastern
Freight association was an organization
that operated for the illegal restraint
of interstate trade and was, therefore,
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
act. The rates themselves were alleged
to be unreasonable ana unjust.
The circuit court of appeals set aside
Judge Speer's injunction, though Judge
Shelby. one of the judges of that bench,
dissented in this decision. Winbish,
Watkins & Ellis, attorneys for the ship
pers, are now preparing to appeal to the
supreme court. All this while the ques-
ton of the reasonableness of the rates
is pending before the interstate COM
merce commission. That body may be
expected to hand Town a decision with
in the next three months. In their ap-
peal to the supreme court, Wimbish,
Watkins & Ellis win contend. as here
tofore, that the Southeastern Freight
association is conspiracy in restraint
of interstate trade.

TAWNEY HAS DECLINED
TO LEAD INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan. 9.-Speaker
Cannon stated tonight that he would not
announce until Monday the men who will
serve on the committee to investigate
Chief Wilkes service as provided for in
the Tawuey resolution which the house
adopted today. Cannon wants Tawney
to conduct this investigation but the
latter declines to do so.
The purpose of this inquiry will be to
bring out the fact that congress has ap-
propriated more than 0O000 for special
detective work under the various depart
ments thus refuting the charge of the
president that congress is handicapping
the detection and punishment of crime.
In addition it is proposed to bring to the
light the irregular methods employed
by Chief Will1ie in doctoring his ac-
counts, and by various department chiefs
in utilizing secret service men on work
specifically prohibited by law.

Ideal Weather of This Valley.

The fine weather of the past week
or ten days is of the kind that makes
this country superior as a place of
residence. While the extreme east
and the middle west, the Rocky
Mountains as well as the northwest
has passed through and is still suf-
fering with severe cold, the Rogue
River valley is filled with sunshine;
the thermometer at no time having
been below 22. 1t is true we have
had rains in abundance but no cold
storms. These rains have been of
great benefit to the placer miners,
and storms which are yet to come
this winter will also be worth large
sums in gold. The placer mine pro-
duct is also of great value and adds
much to the wealth of Southern Ore
gon. The winters in this region are
suited to all classes coming from the
east, especially those from the high
attitudes of the mid continent.

\ Beautiful Legend.

The Catholics have many beauti-
ful stories regarding the birth of
Christ which are told to children on
the approach of Christmas. One is
that when Joseph was fleeing from
Herod with Mary and the child Jesus
he camped one night where there
chanced TO be no water. Darkness
had come and It was impossible to
30 on until water was reached and
SO he made up his mind that they
must make dry camp. Supper was
prepared and when they were ready
to sit down to the meal behold a
few yards from them a spring burst
forth from hillside ana pure wa
ter In abundance flowed from Il.
Joseph and Mary praised God for
His goodness, and felt assured that
they were under divine protection.

WONDERFUL SCHOOL
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

MENOMONIE, Wis. -. H. Stout,
millionaire lumber man and active
citizen, has built up, or furnished
the money to build up, here a won
derful school for the manual train
ing of the youth of the land.
Boys are taught the use OF tools
and the intricacies of trades, while
girls are given the knowledge that
will fit them for wives and home
makers. Year by year, since 1903,
when it began, the plan here has
been carried on to activity and de-
velopment until 1t is now worth
$500, 900, and is probably costing
Senator Stout $4,000 year to
maintain.
There are four distinct lines of
work done by the organization,
namely, the training of teachers for
manual training and for domestic
art and economy; the training of
young women as home makers; the
training of young men as trade
workers, and experimental work in
the field of industrial education.
The first organization was that
of the training school in 1908, which,
in 1908, came under the general
head, and now all are thus organized
as the Stout Institute. There are
large brick buildings for each de-
partment, and the local school build
ing is connected with these by cover
ed passageways, and the children of
the town receive the manual train
ing and the domestic economy
courses without cost.
Senator Stout, who is the head and
front of this work, gets his best hap
piness out of it. Several years ago
a friend in st. Louis mentioned tnat
he knew of some young people who
might be aided if they had know
ledge of this kind, Send them along,
and | will pay for It," said the sena-
tor, who was not senator then.
Always shy of politics, he did ac-
cept the state senatorship to help
along a number of school laws he
thought ought to be passed. He is
lumber man with interests in the
south and the west. He is going on
with this institute until It is the big
gest, as it is perhaps now the best,
of its kind in the country.

There Is a Santa Claus.

ter to the editor of the New York
Sun:
Dear Editor: am s years old.
Some of my friends say that there
Is no Santa Claus. Papa says. If
you see 1t in the Sun, it's So Please
tell me the truth. Is there Santa
Claus?
VIRGINIA 0. HANLON.' y
And the editor of the Sun, mighty
man of invective and sarcasm, be-
came Gwen as a little child" and
wrote the following charming reply;
Virginia: Your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticism of a skeptical age
They will not believe except they
see.
"Yes Virginia, there is Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty
and joy. Alas, how dreary would
be the world If there were no Santa
Claus 1t would be as dreary as II
there were no Virginias. There
would be no childlike faith then, nc
poetry, no romance to make toler-
able this existense. We should have
no enjoyment except in sense and
sight. The eternal light with which
childhood fills the world would be
extinguished
you might get your papa to
hire men to watch all the chimneys
on Christmas eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even If they did not see
Santa Claus coming down, what
would that prove? Nobody sees
Santa Claus. The most real things
in the world are those that neither
children nor men see. Nobody can
conceive or imagine all the wonders
that are unseen and unseeable in this
world. You may tear apart the
baby's rattle and see what makes
the noise inside, but there is veil
covering the unseen world which
not the strongest that ever lived
could ever tear apart. Only faith
