Almost every day somebody kills
Most of the wrinkles on mems faces

troubles. Avowedly, the corruption of
politics is due to money. Sport, the
drama. literature and art, have all
felt the sama blighting touch. There
are more people concerned today, I
fear, over the high price of living
than over the coming of the kingdom
of heaven. 1t is no stereotyped by
perbole to call the money question a

it; the common wish, "Oh, II only I
didn't have to think about money"
is vain: everybody has to think about
money, and it makes more trouble for
the man who thinks in terms of mil
lions than for the one who thinks in
dollars and dimes. Surely, then, there
should be some basis for. dealing with
money: a permanent platform and
principle for the Christian.
Here is the Bible law: Money has a
place in life, but it is not a first place.
Money may not properly be made a
lance. 1t is a vain prop. But money
may be made a minister to all the
higher needs of self and neighbor. and
so may not be despised or disregarded.
Given the chance between character
and money between usefulness and
prosperity, between wealth and hap
piness, vote Instantly against money.
While money may buy many desir-
able things # cannot purchase the best.
It is literally true that the supreme
possessions of life-honor, health, love,
| happiness, usefulness-are not de-
pendent upon the size of ones bank
account.
The ssblood atonement" idea. of the
Old Testament has given way, in these
times, to a sort of money atonement.
Money is supposed to make all things
right. No matter how unscrupulously
great fortunes may be aquired, If they
are used in part (and it may be but
an infienitsimaI part) for works of re-
| lieion and philanthropy, there is at
once shown a disposition on the part
of many persons to ccndone the past
and to treat the donor as honorable
and praiseworthy. This is the per-
nicious modern form OF the old doc
frine of good works. Men openly ex-
meet to buy their way into favor in
| two worlds. When brought into the
clear light of the teachings of Jesus
the error of this becomes straightway
apparent. The snare Of the rich man
is his riches. That is why the Teacher

used the superlative expression about
it's being harder for a rich man to
enter the kingdom of heaven than for
a camel to go through needles eye:
God not only may not be bribed, but
he also does not look kindly upon the
one who attempts it.
When a Christian has money it is

Money is the best servant in the
world; and the worst master
A great deal is said about the Amer
lean love for money. Americans do
love money. So do the English and
French and Germans and Japanese,
and pretty much every other nation.
Doubtless it is true, though, that Amer
leans are moro outsOoken and Grass
than other nations in applying the
money test to all values. We are
rightly ridicuIed and scorned for this.
The money standard is absurdly in
adequate and improper, in most mat
tiers. To care for person because of
his money, to fix social position by
money, to assume that money can buy
everything-that is TIC betray a lack
of the essential spirit of culture and
refinement.
Thank God. a man may be rich in
peace which millions of money cannot
purchase, even though he has not a
dollar in his pocket.
The world can get along without it's
millionaires more easily than without
it's penniless prophets, poets and
saints.
There is something wrong in a per-
sons conception of values when he
thinks more about money than about
God. What we think about rules us:
happy they who make Jehovah their
meditation day and night.

RENTED FOR SEASON
Quiniault Lake Tracts Are Rented
and Not SoId-Lots Are 15ox
$50 Feet

There has been a great deal of in
quiry, about the manner and proceed
ure that should be gone through to
file on the shore lands at Lake Quin-
iault r. E. Benedict. of the forestry
department at Olympia, gives the fol-
lowing in regard to the land:
"The tracts are 150x150 feet, and
not in ten acre tracts as previously
published. The lots are rented for
the season for $1,000 and in no way
sold"
Mr.. Benedict will make a special
trip to Aberdeen soon. So far there
have been one hundred applicants for
the lots, as there are 1000 lots open
for allotment, there will be plenty
for all.
The question of the survey of the
road to the lake is now settled and
work of construction will begin al
once. This lake is considered one of
the finest summer outing places in
Washington.

BANKS MAY DROP
INTEREST RATES
A Plan Is On Foot to Pay Less Inter.
est on Savings Accounts All
Over State

SEATTLE, June 6.-Seattle bankers
as we'll as those in other parts of the
state are seriously considering plan
to reduce the interest rate on saw
ings deposits. Whether the reduc-
tion will be from to per cent or
from to 1-2 per cent has not yet
been determined.
Bankers all over the state are now
being sounded on the proposition to
reduce and the statement was made
yesterday by a Seattle banker that
some action is likely to be taken in
the near future at conference OF
bankers, at which not only the ques-
tion of interest but other rules con-
nected with savings accounts will be
discussed. There is desire among
many bankers to secure greater uni.
formity in deposit rules.

TAFT RAILROAD RATE BILL IS
PASSED BY SENATE.
The Effect Of New Law, Which Takes
Effect july I, Is Subject of Vital
Discussion by Railroad Men and
the Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion.

WASHINGTON, d. C., June 3.-The
center of interest in the matter of a
general increase of freight rates,
which has kept the department of
justice and interstate commerce COM
mission on the qui vive for the last
few days, moved today to the capitol
when the senate continued the de-
bate on the railroad bill, and finally
passed it. The principal question dis
cussed in Washington today was that
of the probable effect of the bill in
it's final form on the increases whicn
are proposed to take effect on about
July 1. The bill is worded to take
effect go days after its enactment.
This would exempt the pending in
creases from interference by the in
terstate commerce commission. Prac-
tically all of the Eastern trunk lines
have completed the filing of their re-
vised freight tariffs with the interstate
cOmemrce commission.
Thus far the ClangeS-chiefly ad-
vances-in rates made this week ap-
ply to the Eastern and Middle West
ern portions of the country. No modi-
fications in rates have been made by
the Southern, Southwestern or Paci-
fic Coast lines. No information has
reached the interstate commerce COM
mission of the intention of those roads
as to rate changes.
In connection with the proceedings
instituted by Attorney General Wick
ersham against the members Of. the
Western Trunk line association an in
teresting point has been raised. In
what was known as the trans Miss
Ouri freight case, the members of the
association, as we'll as the lines rep
resented by them, were perpetually en-
Joined from maintaining the assOcia-
tiOn and from entering into any traffic
agreements of the same nature as
those developed in that case.
Some of the members of the West
ern Trunk line association were men,
bers of the old trans Missouri aSsO-
citation and the joint traffic associa-
tiontion. 1t is suggested that if the
agreement of the Western Trunk line
association to advance rates be found
to be in violation of the Sherman anti
trust act, the members of the present
Western Trunk Line association, who
were members of the trans-MissOuri
association, may be subject to con-
tempt proceedings for violation of the
injunction issued in the trans-Missouri
case.

LIQUOR CAN'T BE
SOLD TO INDIANS
Relations Doesn't Bar the
Statute Law

OLYMPIA, June 4.-Liquor may not
be sold to Indians who have severed
tribal relations and become citizens
declares the supreme court in de-
cision today reversing the Pierce
county superior court and upholding
the constitutionality of the 1909 law
prohibiting sale of liquors to any one
of Indian blood whether citizens or
members of tribe.
1t was contended that non-reserva-
tion Indians were citizens and could
not be Disseminated against.
The supreme court says the courts
have frequently upheld the constitu-
tiOnality of laws which prohibit the
sale of liquors to minors or. to other
persons peculiarly liable to be injured
morally or physically by such indulg-
ence and that the enactment is not
in violation of the federal constitu'
tion, but is valid.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Seventeenth Annual Graduating Exer.
cises Of the Aberdeen High
School Next Friday Eve.


The Seventeenth Annual Gradual
ing Exercises of the Aberdeen High
school will be held at the Grand thea
ter Friday evening, June 10, 1910.
The commencement address will be
given by Judge Thomas Burke, of Sc
attic.
The graduation of this years class
marks an epoch in the public schools
of this city. With the closing of
school this year, the High School will
take leave of the Old building which
has been used jointly as a High
School and Grade building for the
past eighteen years The recent in.
creased attendance of the High School
has made the present quarters quite
inadequate for most satisfactory work.
Next fall the High School will be
cOmmOdiOusiy housed in the fine new
structure now nearing completion. 1t
will be much more satisfactory to the
High School to be in the new build
ing which VIII be used distinctly for
High School purposes.
With the graduation of the present
class, 176 young men and women will
have completed their High School edu-
cation within the halls of the old
building "On the Hill" and passed out
into the various walks of life.
In this class OF thirteen members
are eight young ladies and five young
men as follows: Emily j. Hart,
Mabel M. McClymont Margaret M.
