lating the prohibition laws and taken to
the county Jail, where he soon made bond

top of one. of the steps, drew forth the
desired drink. The top of the step had
been placed on hinges and was so neatly

pected it.

Rev. A. |. Ernest Boss at ST. Marks
Deplores Giving Over Fourth of July
to the Noise of Cannon Crackers

Rev. 4. l. Ernest Boss, rector of
Trinity church of Muscatine, Iowa,
preached an able sermon at st. Mark :
cathedral Sunday morning, deriving his
Inspiration from independence Day.
Rev Mr.. Boss. by appointment of
Bishop Spalding, Will have charge of
ST. Mark $ during July and August.
His text was from Deut. viii, to 20,
His sermon in full follows:
We are gathered here in Gods house
this morning TO take our part In the
highest office OF the church; In the Of
fering OF the Sacrifice OF our Blessed
Lord as memorial before the throne
OF God. As our EucharIstic prayer OF
thanksgiving as q sweet savior ascends
on high, II seems fitting that there be
especially in our minds and hearts a
tribute of gratitude to the Heavenly
Father for those inestimabe blessings
which were vouchsafed 10 US as a people
and nation 1913 years ago today, and the
continued benefits which we have re.
ceived from the same outstretched hand
during the generations since that time.
1t always seems strange and rather TO
be deprecated that the celebration of
this great event which Is so fun Of i'm
port To the American people should each
year he left so entirely to the making
of noise and the thoughtless hilarity OF
the day. II seems In me that this great
deeper than Its average celebration would
Indicate. Looking at It from a purely
pontcal STANDPOINT, why Is not inc inner
significance OF Independence day with
its many lessons taught our children for
whose training as citizens of this great
republic we are responsible Why in the
heart Of the average adult citizen is
there not A deeper regard and almost
reverence for the act consummated so
many years ago the fruits OF which We
are today reaplng? Why is there not q
desire in the heart Of the Christian
members of our commonwealth. and an
opportunity given for the qualification OF
that desire to assemble In their houses
of worship and make a fitting rccogni-
OF God in this independence declaration
and in the devious ways of its defense;
"A desire TO offer unto God that tribute
which is always acceptable unto Him

the judiciary committee. Mr..
Doughton read from an opinion
by Justice Brown on a case that
arose from a similar act passed
two years ago. The court held
that the act was not void and the
bonds were valid, but did not
pass or the question whether or
not the holder could be compelled
to list them for State taxation,
saying the point would only be
raised when some holder refused
TO list them. The House judi
ciary committee decides to cut
out the section of the bill that
exempted the bonds from county
and municipal tax and to report
the bill favorably with that
amendment. 1t was not thought
right that citizens of Robson
county should be allowed to hold
these bonds exempt from tax
while if a resident of any other
county should happen to get any
of them he would be compelled
to pay the tax.
