coat, they have to make sale. Trey
have to sell before they can buy.
That Is the job that confronts the
constructive legislator--to keep condi
lions such that these twenty-fonr mil.
lions of people can sell their product
their labor. If they cannot sell,
then they cannot buy at all. The
merchant must buy before he can sell;
the workingman must sell before he
can buy.
The low tariff advocate is always
talking about the buying end OF the
bargain. That interests the man who
has money. But there is one-third OF
the population OF this country that
has no money They are interested in
the selling end of the proposition, be-
cause they cannot buy until they can
sell.
That was illustrated in the packing
house matter last week. Those men
who appeared before the city council
were not worrying whether calico sold
at cents or s cents yard; they
wanted conditions to continue here
that would allow them to sell their
labor. They wanted to sell what they
had to sell. If they could. do that they
could buy. With them the sale must
come first.

AMEN.

The Rev. Henry N. Couden. the
blind chaplain In the house, gave the
congressman something to think over
In his opening prayer yesterday He
said: .
"since the purity Of the home de.
bends upon the purity of those who
compose it, the character OF the ma
ton depends upon the people who
make up the nation. Help us there
fore. as individuals to strive earnestly
to cast out the beam from our own
eve that we may see clearly to pull
the mote out of our brothers eye.
II we are to become muck rakers,
help us to rake before our own door,
and II we have time then let us help
our neighbor Since cant and hypoc-
risy are the most heinous of all sins,
deliver us we pray Thee from them"

iieves that Mayor Dahlman of Omaha
was misquoted in a New York inter
view when he said that Nebraska
might again have candidate for the
presidency The Nonpareil thinks
Mayor Jim must have said still in
stead of "again."

Low tariff has always shut Amer
lean factories, and the same talk that
is now being made against protec-
tive tariff, was made in Andrew Jack
sons administration. When Jackson
was inaugurated there was a protec-
tive tariff law in force. The country
was very prosperous, but the free
traders and low tariff men talked
against the American workingman till
they got a bill enacted that provided
for a reduction every two years till
everything should be reduced to 20
per cent. However, before the reduc-
ton got as low as 20 per cent, the
working man was out of work and
the farmer was selling cows at a dol
lar head. The professional poll
tician who is drawing salary from
the people, should not attempt to
deceive those who are paying him, be-
cause they might erase his name
from the pay roll.

THE SALE COMES FIRST.

There are some people and some
noliticians who never seem to give
consideration to the experience Of the
mast. no matter how dearly that ex-
perience was purchased. In the peri
iods Of agitation which we have gone
through In the past the same argu-
ments were made that are made to-,
day. There was the same talk OF the
"ultimate consumer" who was made
TO appear to embrace about all of
mankind except a few favored indi-
yiduals who we're producers. Expert
ence taught us then that we are all
PRODUCERS as we'll as consumers, that
We must first produce before we can
consume, but this experience did not
come until great many of US had
lost our Jobs. When this stage of the
proceedings was reached the realiza-
lion came that the most important
thing of all is the job. Given plenty
nf work and good wages the problem
ID solved and general prosperity is re-
stored. The constructive legislators
work is to keep the wheels Of industry
moving. to give every man chance
"a sell his labor that he may become
me purchaser Of the things his labor
will buy.
The matter Of buying and selling is
something that politicians ought to
,tudy. II a man establishes store,
he has to buy before he can sell; If
he opens mandatory he has to
buy raw material before he can sell
The product, But there are twenty
four million people in this country
who have to make sale before they
ran buy. These people have only
labor to sell 1t is their sole stock.

Representatives Of twenty-five
states are meeting in Chicago for the
purpose Of discussing technical meth
DDS of road construction as they have
been employed in the various states.
Good should result from this meeting.
In the absence Of any national good
roads movement every state has been
striking out for itself in attempting to
solve the good roads question, operat-
ing as a rule on the theory that every
state has problem different from the
others. The fact Is that the good roads
problem is the same the world over
and the more the various states get
together and give the road builders
the benefit of their combined ex-
perience the greater will be the I'M
proyement made.

FAR FETCHED AND FANcIFUL

Editor OttumWa Courier
From the beginning of the discus
sion of the Sabbath question in your
valued paper adventist contributors
have been ringing in the old chime
about the pope of Rome being the
one who had changed the Sabbath
from the seventh day of the week to
the first.
No. one, believe, has seen fit to
give even passing remark to such
twaddle. 49,
Emboldened by this, Mr. Howell Of
Tennessee goes zone step further"
and asserts that, not only is the pope
Of Rome the "beast' Of Rev. 10, but
that the Omitted States Is the image
of the beast" (Rev. 1910, and. that.
Sunday is the mark of the beast"
Tvs. Is, LID
Kind reader turn to Rev IS, substi-
tute the word "pope" for beast;
UNITED States" for image of the
beast" and Sunday" for mark" and
see If it does not make it foolish and
ridiculous in the extreme.
i have found the study of prophecy
to be one Of the most delightful and
profitable features Of Bible study. 1t
has been my privilege to read a num-
her of works on the subject; some
by leading adventists. but more by
eminent Bible scholars, who really
know something Of the prophetic
word. / do not wonder that most
Christians are shy Of the subject.
Whenever it is mentioned, they think
of the oft-repeated failure of the world
to come to an end as scheduled by
ours (would-be) prophets and expound-
ers of prophecy.
Let me say in conclusion that two
great scriptural truths utterly demol-
fish their two hobbies.
The truth of eternal life' (the basis
of my third proposition, in former
letters), so plainly taught in the New
Testament, leaves no place for the
doctrine Of law keeping in this dis
pensation Of grace; and, the 'restor-
alton OF Israel" than which no truth
is more plainly taught in both Old
and New Testaments, utterly repudi-
ates their far-fetched and fanciful in
terpretations Of prophecy.

the vast pile which every free and
independent American believes he can
overrun at his pleasure. 1t is the COM
mon impression that life in the White
House is grand and beautiful. We now
see that the White House is no ex-
ception to the average rule of domes-
tic establishments. Even the president
can't keep a cook when the barney
ing policeman comes accounting and
an impressionable and coy Mrs. Null
vey picks at her apron corner and
reads love in his eyes.
s. To be deprived of cook and COW
at one fell swoop truly places our
