The Newspaper and the People.

The local newspaper is a
greater conservator of the moral
and material interests of the peo-
pie. than any other one factor in
q community. If it is true to
the traditions Of the craft, it
never fails tostand between the
people and any harm that might
befall them. The newspaper is
closer to the people, with the
possible exception of the church,
than any other institution in the
community. The editor knows
more people than any man in any
trade, profession, or calling in
the community. He knows their
wants, their wishes, their weak
nesses, their follies, their vices
and their virtues. He is the
custodian Of their innermost
secrets. He has gazed upon the
gruesome skeleton in practically
every family closet within the
jurisdiction Of his newspaper,
and If he were to speak out and
tell all he knows, the community
would be shaken from center to
circumference with the releva-,
tons Of scandal. But he does
not choose to speak out in that
manner, for he desires to exploit
only the good that men and
women do and thus exalt the.
community. He would rather
exploit virtue than expose vice,
Notwithstanding that the MAORI
ty Of the reading public are,
clamorous for the sensational.
His purpose is to elevate the
standing Of his publication as
we'll as that Of the community.
The people Of every community
owe a debt Of gratitude to their
newspapers, Some Of them are

ENGLISH STRIKE SITUATION

CENTRAL RAILWAY LINES OPERATION TO-DAY AND ALL


London, Aug. 19.-Notwithstandin
reports of spasmodic riots at scatter
ed points throughout the country and
occasional clashes between strikers
and soldiers, prospects for an early
settlement of the big strike seemed
brighter today. London remained
comparatively calm and the great cen
tral railway lines which were com
pletely paralyzed yesterday resumed
operations today. The Northwestern
railroad maintained good service and
the management manifested its
thanks to the large proportion of its
employees who remained loyal by re-
turning the double pay during the
strike.
A settlement of the London dock
strike further eased the situation as it
insured a continuance of the food sup
ply of London. Work went on on all
docks today and as the best of feeling
prevails it is felt that the adjustment
will be permanent

JESUS CHRIST BACK
ON EARTH NEXT YEAR,

Chicago. Aug. 19.-The second ad-
vent of Christ upon earth and the
re-uniting of the lost tribes of Israel
will occur some time in November,
1912, according to a declaration filed
in the office of the county recorder.
This remarkable document which
fixes the month of the second coming
of the Saviour was drawn up and
filed by Harry L. Burnette and John
Taylor, disciples of the late John Al
exander Dowie and asks that all the
followers of Zion rally to the support
of the king" when he shall come.
Before the year of 1912 shall have
closed, Jesus, the Christ, the Son of
God, will come forth from the eter-
nal throne once again to teach and
preach the gospel of salvation and to
heal the sick" reads the document.
"The Christ will be revealed in Zion
City, built by Gods Elijah as a prep
aration of the way, unto al those
who await His coming"
According to Burnette, who is the
author of the prophecy, the Christ
will remain on earth 494 years. This
time will be consumed in re-unitine
the tribes of Israel and in building
cities throughout the earth after the
model of Zion city. The rebuilding
of Jerusalem will be the last worl
of the Christ on earth.

London, Aug. 19.-Scores of thous-
ands of railway employees throughout
the United Kingdom are on strike to-
night and traffic everywl -fe is badly
disorganized Numerous sympathetic
strikes in other lines are reported
throughout the country.
Leaders of the Amalgamated Socie-
ty of Railway Servants declare 100000
men, or nearly half the total of en-
ployes of the railways of England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales, have ans
wered their call to stop work. Manag-
ers on the railways, however, say
these figures are greatly exaggerated
There is no method by which verif-
cation of either assertion is possible
but the fact is apparent that the rail
way service al over the country is de-
moralized, even limited passenger
service being possible only with the
greatest difficulty. Never before have
the ministers of a British government
made such earnest efforts to ward off
a great labor war; yet tonight they
have been unable to stay movement
that promises to entail inconvenience,
possibly misery to millions of people
Soldiers Fill London.
London has the appearance of an
armed camp. for on all sides are to be
seen soldiers, rifles in hand and cart
ridges in their belts, while from the
dome of st. Pauls the engineers are
keeping in communication with the
general staff of electric flashes at
night and by photographic signals in
the day.
Undeterred by their failure on
Thursday to effect a settlement the
whole of today was spent by Premier
Asquith, Chancellor David Lloyd
George and Sydney Buxton. president
of the Board of Trade, in fruitless con
ferences with the leaders on both
sides. Mr. Asquith is not well and
went into the country Thursday night
to recuperate but he came in town to
day to aid in the negotiations.
An official statement issued at the
Home Office late tonight says the
! strike has developed all over the
/ country and produced a widespread
though only partial, paralysis of rail
way service. 1t adds that so far as
present information goes, more thar
two-thirds of the railway men remain
at their posts and the companies ar,
