~ HE temperance lesson Of this quar-

history of the period we have been
studying. In this lesson we find Benha-
dad, son of Benhadad, who preceded him,
as King of Damascus. His father Sc
cured a large portion of Israel from
Omri. The Benhadad of our lesson has
been identified with the king referred
to in the Assyrian inscriptions, who
brought an army Of 100000 men and
nearly 1000 chariots against Assyria. He
had entered Israel from the north or
northeast, and now with an army OF

Preliminaries to Contest.

Shalmaneser was across the Euphrates
threatening the region west of the river.
1t turned out to be only a threat and
not an invasion.
This is a period when We find Ben
hadad with his army containing thirty
two kings, over whom he exercised such
authority that he could remove the kings
from command and place captains in
charge. Ahab was filled with despair as
he saw the advancing forces. He agreed
ia the first demand made upon him.
that he should accept the dictatorship
Of Benhadad. join the confederacy and
place the forces of Israel under the di-
rection of the King of Damascus This
was reasonable in view of the danger
from Shalmaneser, that called for an Of
fensive and defensive alliance against
Voice Of People.
When Ahab received the second de-
mand from Benhadad that the King of
Israel should submit to the spoliation
and ravishing of the city he summoned
the elders and representatives of the
people to decide upon the course of ac-
ton. Here one can see the germs of our
national government, executive. Senate
and House of Representatives. We Amer
leans are apt to forget what we owe to
Gods plan for the government of his
people.
The Hebrew commonwealth was the
first to have representative legislative
assembly: the first to ask for the peoples
Judgment by means of general elections;
the first to place restrictions upon the
absolute power of it's rulers: the first to
abolish class distinctions and to make
provision for popular education. Democ-
racy had its great prototype in Israel.
The political ideas which we cherish are
largely the contribution of the great Jew
ish race to the political thought of the
world. These lovers of liberty decided
against complying with the boastful Ben
hadad's request. They would fight to the
death before they would comply with the
request that meant the subjugaton and
destruction of Samaria and Israel. When
this answer reached Benhadad he boosted
that there would not be enough left of the
city for each member of his army to
carry away a handful of dust. Ahab's
reply reveals the spirit of true manhood;
it has passed into one of the proverbs of
the world: Let him that girdeth on his
armor boast not as he that putteth 1t
Off" Ahab's experience ought to have
taught him that when Benhadad placed
his gods against Jehovah that the King
of Damascus was doomed

P. Haugen has returned from Black
River Falls, where he went to coun-

the situation that has developed out
of the food disaster.
He found conditions fully as Sc
rious as reported, but said that the
people had not lost courage. Mer-
chants are moving into whatever
quarters nay be found, one even
occupying the Baptist church tempo
rarily.
Mr.. Haugen said that the adjust
ment of the taxation problem must
be left with the city authorities and
the county board of supervisors of
Jackson county. The taxes, Mi.
Haugen said, might be collected in
some instances by suit against the
owner. This, however, will probably
not be done, he said. The ordinary
course, where default in payment of
taxes is made, will, no doubt, be
followed, and at the proper time the
certificates may be Cancelled by the
county board.

IS GIVEN HOUR AND A HALF
Understanding Reached Regarding the
Visit of President Taft to Fond
du Lac on October rs.

Salem, Ore.-The Fond du Lac in
cident, the most interesting con-
nected with the recent travels of a
president, vas officially declared
closed on board the Taft special,
when it stopped for few hours here
on the way to the cities Of Sac
ramento and San Francisco, and
President Taft is looking forward
to his visit to Fond du Lac In the
insurgent state Of Wisconsin with
an interest greater than that felt
In any other city ION his 13,000mile
itinerary.
The indications are that there
will be big time in Fond du Lac
on Taft day, October 20. For a while
1t looked as though the gates of the
city were to be closed against the
chief executive of the nation, all be-
cause they thought it was Oshkosh,
when 1t really was Appleton that
wanted to be treated a little more
literally in the division of the pres
ident's time. The railroad schedule
Of the itinerary had given Appleton
but ten minutes time.
In order to give Appleton little
more equitable treatment it was nee
essary to cut down the time allotted
to Fond du Lac to one hour and a
half. This caused the storm clouds to
lower. and while the tempest ragged
the telegraph wires were kept hot
with messages which chased the pres
idential train all the way from Chey-
enne to the Pacific coast.
The mayor OF Fond du Lac an
nounced that IL Fond du Lac could
not have Mr.. Taft for two hours and
half they did not want him at all.
This decision apparently was not
unanimous, however, for other tel
egrams were sent urging the presi-
dent to come to Fond du Lac, even
If 1t be only for a few minutes.
