Awful Effect of AlcOnoI.

One of the greatest curses to the
human race is the excessive use OF
alcohol. The States Charity Asso-
citation of New York has published a
tract on the Extent, Causes and
Prevention of Insanity, in which it
says that fully thirty per cent of
the men and ten per cent of the wo-
ren duly admitted to the state hos
pitals are suffering from conditions
due directly or indirectly to alcohol.
So marked is the effect of alcohol
upon the brain and the nerve tissue
that it helps to bring about num-
Der of mental breakdowns, III addi-
titioD to the alcoholic insanities. AL
cohol is a poison. What gives the
statement added Importance is that
the association is not temperance
society nor it's publication temper
ance tracts. The Association deals
with scientific facts and not with
theories. Therefore, what it says
on the subject of the fearful effects
O. alcohol must be accepted as au-
tkoritative. In the face of such in
formation as that given above 1t is
strange that men and women should
persist in the excessive use of strong
drink. That so many men and wo-
men fall prey to alcoholism is a
sad commentary on OUT boasted civ
ihzation. 1t is a notorious fact that
more alcohol is used in civilized
countries than in those classed as
emi-civilized.

Give BRYAN Fair Play

Referring to Mr.. Bryan's COM
ment on Congressman Underwood's s
position on the iron schedule, as
charged by a special dispatch to The
Philadelphia Inquirer, the Omaha
DAILY Bee, a dyed-in-the-wool stand
pat Republican paper says: "the Re-
publicans owe Mr.. Bryan a vote OF
thanks for this full and fair expos
ure of the perfidy of his party. 1t
should help the people in 1912 when
they come to decide whether they
want that party installed more fully
in power.
The News and Courier copies what
the Bee says above and maAes the
following comment on l.: "Repub-
lican journals, ell over the country
are gloating over the Nebraskans
persistent endeavors to discount the
work which the party to which he
processes allegiance, is doing al
Washington. They look upon Mr.
Bryan and not Col. Roosevelt, as
their best asset and strongest ally. >
1t is perfectly natural for the
Omaha Bee to SANDER Mr.. Bryan
but Democratic papers like the News
and Courier should not follow the
Bees bad example. Bryan made nc
charge against Underwood. He sim
ply commented on the charges made
in a reputable newspaper against

Figuring on the Election

Although the presidential election
is over year off, newspapers are al
ready beginning to figure on the
probable outcome Of the contest.
With New Mexico and Arizona ad-
mftted into the Union, there will be,
with the additional members pro-
vided for dn the Reappcctionment
bill, five hundred and 0hirty-one
votes in the next Electoral College
an increase of foTty-eight. The ma
jority required to elect the President
next year will be two hundred and
sixty-six, as compared with two hun
dred and forty-two in the last cleo
ton Mr.. Taft had an electoral vote
Of three hundred and twenty-one
With the same States under the Re-
apportionment the Republicans
would gain thirty-two, and those
States that voted for Nr. Bryan
would gain ten The Taft States by
The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1911-08-10

In the new Electoral College new
York with six additional votes, a to-
tai Of forty-two, will continue to
hold the balance of power between
the leading parties in campaigns
less hopelessly one-sided than the
last. With New York's vote eth
er side may easily figure out a ma
jority. Under the reapportionment
the solid South has one hIndred and
fifty five votes.
To win the next Democratic candi-
date must have in addition to the
South one hundred and eleven votes.
If he carried New York, Ohio, New
Jersey, undianna and Missouri he
would win with one vota to spare.
Illinois could be substited for
Ohio. In place of either of these
States the Democrats could elect
with California, Colorado and West
Virginia, or California and Nebras-
ka and Montana or either of the Da-
kotas. Counting New MeXico and
Arizona Democratic, with three
votes each, a successful { mhination
could be named with 'lyew York,
New Jersey, Indianna, Missouri, Ne
braska, West Virginia and Colorado.
Montana with one of tine Dakotas
could take the place Of any of the
three small States.
Which of the gentleman named
as the probable Democratic candi-
date is the most likely to success
fully work the combination and
land in the White House, The one
that has the best chance of doing
this, is our candidate, he he Wilson,
Clark, Harmon, Marshall, Under
wood or some other good Democrat. {.
It looks to us as if the Democrats
can win if they will push the tariff
question to the front. With the
tariff as the main issue President
Taft, who is sure of denomination
by the Republicans would be at a
disadvantage for having vetoed the
efforts of the Democrats to give the
people cheaper clothing and other
necessaries of life. In our judg-
ment the only thing thai could de-
feat the Democrats would be huge
corruption fund in the hands Of the
Republicans. The Democrats should
guard against this danger.

were made, and which Underwood
had not denied up to the time Bryan
commented on them. AS soon as
Underwood denied them, Bryan with

book. now shining from
the Word of God-disclosing to us the
fact that mCch that came down to us
from the Dark Ages Is contrary to the
Bible as we'll rs to reason. Many OF
the professed teachers Of the church
are heartily opposed to Bible study,
although their opposition is advanced
as cautiously as possible "for fear OF
the people"
A Famine For the Word Of God
Scriptural truth is a scarce conmo-
dity at the present tima-the world IS
full of error and sin and unriGhteous-
ness. The Lords disciples must so
love truth and righteousness as to hun
ger and thirst for it. To such spiritual
food will be granted. Truth will be
dispensed to them US meat in due
season."
The Scriptures from first to last give
us to understand that Gods Word is
to shine more and more brightly down
to the very end of this Gospel Age.
st. Peter declares it to be 1.-THE more
sure Word Of prophecy, to which we
do we'll that we take need, as to q
light shining in a dark place until the
Day dawn and the Day Star arise In
your hearts" QI Peter /, 19).
The Bishop Of London opposed the
Tyndale translation because the prac-
tices Of the time were not in harmony
with the Scriptures. Similarly. today
there are doctrines. traditions. crcedS
from the Dark Ages still reverenced'
and which 4 better understanding of
the Bible would correct and put to
shame. Hence the opposition TO the
better understanding Of Gods Word.
Nevertheless. the Word Of God shall
stand forever. and the spirit or the
truth shall make free all the children
Of the truth.
Truth cru-Ned to earth shall rise again.
The eternal veare Of tiod are hers.

ecieS Of dire dis Jeremiah dhrfGfHg 10
aster made deep n'' "'"
impression. One of the princes of the
people was present and heard the read
ing and reported to others of the kings
counsellors. They sent for Baru; h anu
had him read 1t before them all. They
also, were deeply impressed ard con-
cluded that it should be brought before
the king. But meantime Baruch and
jeremiah were hidden, the probabili'
ty of the kings displeasure being great.
Hearing Of the manuscript, the king
was anxious to have it read before hin
by O scribe. During the reading, as
two or three columns Of the manu-
script were read. the king cut them OF
with q pen knife and threw them into
the fre-until the entire manuscript
was heard and destroyed. BY the
Lords direction jeremiah dictated his
prophecies afresh, Baruch again act
ing as amanuensis; and this edition
was made still more complete than the
former. Amongst other things it In
cluded the Divine edict that none OF
Jehoiakim's posterity should ever sit
upon the throne Of David.
Gods Word IndestructibIe
Thomas Paine, Voltaire and 1nger-
soil imagined that they had made the
Word Of God to appear so ridiculous
that it would nevermore have influence
amongst men. Robert Ingersoll is quot
ed as having suid, "In ten years the
Bible will not be read" How little
the poor man knew on the subject.
The frontispiece Of a well known
Wycliffe Bible pictures Satan and 9TH
ers, religious and irreligious, blowing
with all their might to put out a light.
In proportion as their energy and
strength became exhausted, the light
grew stronger and burned the more
brightly. This illustrates the futility of
all attempts to quench the Word OF God.
