TAFT'S PET MEASURE
NOW A LAW
So Far as the United States Can
Make Unjust Yet Have APP
prOVal Canadian Voters.

The Canadian reciprocity bill, which
passed the Senate last Saturday by a
vote of SO to 27, was signed by Peesi-
dent Taft on Wednesday and is now a
law as far as one country to the agree
ment can make it.
Ohio's Senators-Burton and Pome-
rene-cast their votes for the measure
and put pretty big spike in the old
protection blunderbuss. An analysis
of tho Senate vote shows "a Republi-
cans voted against the bill and 21 for
it, while three Democrats veted against
it and 80 in favor of it.
1t is now up to the Canadian voters,
and it is to be hoped they give the
old Chinese wall a side swIpe that
will finish it for all time to come.

NON-PART|SAN
SELECTION Of
DELEGATES
To Constitutional Convention Is
Upheld by Attorney General
in Opinion Rendered.

The constitutional requirement that
the question of whether a constitutions
al convention shall be held shall be
submitted every twenty years, does
not apply this year, according to a rul-
ing given Secretary of State Graves by
Attorney General Hogan Wednesday.
The contitution of 1851 provides that
this question shall be submitted at the
general election every twenty years
after that date.
General Hogan reasons that mas
much as there will be no general cleo
tion until 1912, that the question could
not be submitted this year.
He did not pass upon the question of
whether there should be submission
of the question in 1912.
General Hogan also in the ruling up
holds the constitutionality of the Green
law providing for the partisan Sc
lection of delegates to the constitu-
tional convention.

q. What proof have we that
the ages of the antediIuVians
were stated I'm years and not In
lunar months, as taught by
some scientists
Answer.-Many have endeavored
to account for the remarkable lon
gevity of the antediluvians, some of
whom lived to the ripe old age of
800 aud 900 years, Methuselah, the
oldest man mentioned in the Bible,
being an elderly gentleman of 900
years Of age, by offering various
theories, one of which is referred to
IN the question before us. However
we can readily see by consulting
the Sacred Narrative, that this the
ory would not ct the situation. The
9TH chapter of Genesis, in setting
forth the genealogy of different
ones, states the ages when these had
children. If we were to estimate
on the basis Of year as being in
reality only a lunar month of time
we become involved in difficulties,
for according to this method of reck-
Oning, Cainan was but five years
and ten months of age when he had
a son; also Mahalaleel was five
years and Fl We months old when his
son, Jared, was born. The real
cause of advanced ages of those who
lived prior to the deluge is present
ed In the Bible. The human race
had detenorated but slightly from
that condition of perfection which
Adam had enjoyed preceding his
disobedience. Consequently, with
splendid organisms and very slight
ly impaired vitality, the spark Of
life would be maintained for centu-
ries. How different the conditions
now, when the average length of
life is about thirty-ive years! Ma

LAST Of FAMILY Of
INDIAN CHIEF DEAD
Old Indian Reservation in This
County Bears Name of Fam
lily Noted Red Man.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Peru, Ind, under date of the 2lst, says:
William Godfrey, aged 81, the last
member of the family of Francis God
troy, the last war chief of the Miami
Indians, died early to-day at the Coun-
ty Infirmary here. He will be buried
at the old Indian cemetery here, beside
his father, so that his spirit, according
to the Indians belief, may not get lost
on its way to the happy hunting
grounds"
The death of this last member of an
historic Indian family is of interest to
pioneer residents of the north end of
the county, where a reservation was
made to them by the governments,
known as the Louis Godfrey Reserve,
on the north side of the st. Marys
River, in Dublin township.

COMMISSIONERS
Finally Grant Wabash Ditch Inn
prOvement and Branches

The board last Friday appointed
Barney Overman, VIM. Evers and Ma
thias Staugler as a board of viewers
on the Bertke road Improvement, and

surveyor l.. l.. Marsh, at the residence

In the matter of the Wabash ditch,
the Board having met at the place of
beginning of the said ditch, heard all
proof offered and gone over and along
the line of the improvement, determ-
ined the necessity thereof. They there
upon found that the location, deepen
| ing and widening of the ditch IS neces-
sary, and granted the same as petit
| toned for, from the Darke County line
down stream to a point somewhere
above the Seifering bridge that will
procure a good and sufficient outlet
for the prairie lands.

iioned for, and fixed September II, at
the Auditors office, as the day for

q. What Is meant by these
words, "The Spirit and the
Bride say comet" Revelation
XIII, I7.)
Answer.-The Spirit clearly re-
fers to Jesus Christ, the Bride
groom. His Bride is to be the
Church glorihed. (See Revelation
xxi, 9; xix, 7-9j. The marriage, or
union, referred to in the last Scrip
ture, takes place at the second com
ing of Christ John xiv, 81. The
reign of Christ Bride and Bride
groom follows, and then tho mes
sage will go forth 10 the world, in
viting all TO come and obey Christ
and receive eternal life; and the
obedient shall live. And the obedi-
ent will be privileged to repeat the
invitation to others, that "w hoso-
ever will may come and take Of the
water of life freely" The Church Of
Christ in its present condition of
development Is referred TO by the
Apostle as "the chaste virgin, es-
poused to one Husband" III Corin-
thians xi, y. She will not become
the Bride Of Christ until at the time
of the Bridegroom's presence, when
the marriage of the Lamb shall take
place and the marriage supper shall
follow Revelation xix, 81. Evi-
IDENTIFY, from the foregoing, IL is
manifest that the expression who
soever will" does not apply to all
at this time, and will not be true
until the wedding is consummated.
