Renewed Conservation to God
This was the very occasion for which
Asa had made preparation during his ten
years OF peace. lie went forth with his
army to beat the invader. Nevertheless,
his. faith looked up to God for the vic
tory. realizing that with him was the
power to give or to withhold victory. In
the battle which followed. Asa and his
army were successful.
Returning from the victory with hearts
grateful to God they were met on the way
by a Observation-Disclosures in the name
of the Lord counSellcd the king and his peo-
pie hat they had all done well and faith
fully. and that. therefore. Gods blessing
was with them. and that the continuance
OF Divine blessing would depend upon
their faithfulness to God and TO the re-
Quirements of his Law.
The Divine warning helped the King
and his people to appreciate the situation
and to take a tirmer stand than ever for
righteousness. A second and more thor
ough reformation was thus inaugurated
no idolatry was thenceforth permitted in
the kingdom under penalty of death, and
the Lords blessing continued with the
kingdom-Judall.
The God Of Battle
Benevolent people. interested in peace
congresses, etc, sometimes inquire how
we should understand the fact that the
God of the Old Testament Scriptures was
a God of Battle-sometimes commanding
war and the utter destruction of many.
The answer to this question can be APP
preciated only when the situation is view
ed from the proper standpoint, thus:-
The whole world was lost in sin and
was under condemnation to death MS UNI

mattered not-the death sentence must
sooner or later be executed against them
at any rate-all must go down to the tomb.
We thank God. however. that his gra-
cious plan has provided n redemption of
Adam and all of his race from the tomb
and from death, and a full opportunity

true knowledge of God and righteousness,
and, If obedient thereto. to return ulti-
mately to Divine favor and to more Than

PROVISIONS OF PRIMARY BILL
AS DRAFTED BY RICHARDS

Pierre, S. D.-The drafts of the
Richards primary law, which have
shown up here are being scanned with
interest. One of it's provisions is
for factional party tickets, with a
circle at the head, which can be Sc
lected and placed upon the ballot
through any combination of citizens
under any motto which they care to
place at the head of their selections
for place. This it is alleged would
open the way for any machine" or
oganization to get busy, and get it's
list of candidates filed for the pri-
mary, and after n or two such fac
tional tickets had been filed, would
leave the voter not in their class an
option of taking one of the doses fix
ed for him or register his protest in
a hopeless and expensive independ-
ent compaign. While it is claimed
that this would be one of the results
the theory on which this plan of bal
lot is put forward by Richards, is
that a candidate and the voter back
of him should stand for some fixed
! principle, and the selection should
not be made on a plea of good fell
lowship, unless the fellow" has some
real principle back of his candidacy.
He also embodies his idea of selec-
ton of executive appointments by a
committee of one man from each
county. The executive would be call
ed to make such appointments as a
majority of such committee should
suggest, and while taking instruc-
lions from committee as to whom
he should name, in practical applica-
ton, would stand responsible for ap-

The whole matter Of selection of can

for voting on first, second and third
choice candidates, selections to be
based upon some manner of calcula-
lions as to what the real desire of
the voter might have been through
his different selections.

OF ALL SALOONS
Most Sentiment is Op-
posed to Eight Hour
Closing Law.
COMPROMISE SEEN
Black Hills Delegation Wants
All Night Saloons For
Workers i'm Mines

Pierre, S. D.--The opinions of
members of the state legislature who
are wiling to express themselves on
the proposal to require all saloons in
the state to close at eight o'clock,
range all the way from declarations
for a strictly daylight saloon, such
as has been operated in Nebraska, to
declarations for twenty-four hours of
operation.
The strongest sentiment, apparent
ly, is for a compromise between the
present eleven O'Clock closing law,
and an eight o'clock closing, the one
being considered later than neces-
sary and the other rather early.
If any law on the subject is enact
ed, it will undoubtedly be a compro-
mise between the two hours.
The Black Hills sentiment, SO far
as can be learned, is for all-night
saloons, on account of mine shifts
changing at different hours of the
night.

One of the first bills introduced
was to settle a church row. There
appears to be a strong lack of Christ

ing in the membership Of a Sioux

control of the property, unless they
are given authority to so do by a
vote Of a majority of the members
of the organization.

 FOR BOND ISSUE
Good Roads Proposition Ap- pears to Be Meeting With
 Opposition

Anniston. october 9-(Special)-Fre L. Blackmon. congressman from the Fourth congressional district, has accepted an invitation to deliver an address before the Alabama State Good Roads associa- tion, which will convene at Selma Oc- tober 20. He has been recently touring the state in company with Senator Bank head and others in behalf of road im- provement in Alabama.
 As the time for the $350.O0o bond issue election, which is to be held in this coun- ty next month, draws near, the advocates of good roads are beginning to realize that there is danger of the issue being lost unless they get busy. As result of this they will send a big delegation to the state convention with the hope of arousing sufficient enthusiasm to bring about an active campaign in this county when the delegates return. There is strong opposition to the bond issue in some quarters, and an effort may be made next month to counteract this by putting Congressman Blaekmon and otl- CTS on the stump.
