Very properly did the American

Association record itself against the
pernicious doctrine of the judicial re-
call. That body declared that the APP
plicetion to judges of the principle
of the recall would create judiciary
whose decisions would not rest upon
the law Of the land, but would be in
iluenccd by transient public sentiment
and that the establishment of such Il
judiciary would he destructive of our

! We look upon this blessed book as q
guiding light directing US in our jour.
ney through the da. lSncss of this world
towards the lights Of home.
There is no other book winch has
ever done what the Bible has done. i,
has conquered the world and changed
the history of mankind. Tho Bible
has welded more influence than any
other hook ever, written. 1t has been
translated into every language. Men
in the frozen north as well as those
in the sunny south read it and study
1t, and draw from II constant strength
and help for their lives While nearly
all lands and people know sonnet hing,
of the Bible. there are those who fight
against its teachings. The old hea then
philosophy tried to crush Gods word.
but that heather philosophy is dead
and Buried and tie Bible lives on.
Greece and Rome. emperors. tyrants
and schoolmen all fought against it
and fell. The story of Jesus of Naza
written against the Bible are for the
most part forgotten. burnt or buried
but the Bible lives and its influence
grows.
Civilization came with the Bible in
its hand. Christian countries advance
and grow. others are dead or perish
ing. Once our predecessors dwelt here
fierce, cruel, savage, offering living
sacrifices on stone affairs What
changed all this and built our churches
and made us what we are to- day -?
The gospel OF Jesus Christ, the Word
of God taught by the church. The
Bible has changed the character of
society.
Churches and hospitals have come
and all charitable acts as result OF
the Bibles influence. The old world
taught men to nate one another, and
the Bible came to teach us to love
each other. In every household where
the Bible is loved and lived by we
find people leading decent, d-fearing
lives, and where Coo Word is un-
taught and unheeded and the house
hold only living for pleasure much
of the misery OF life thrives.
Surely a book written by impost tors
would not have lived all these years
II Moses and job and Isaiah and David
and ST. Paul We're all dcceivers the
these years to be helped by their writ
ings. and the copies OF the Bible would
hardly have grown from a few hun
dred TO millions. Every country into
which the Word of God has penetrated
has been changed and benefited by it.
The world of art and literature was
changed by the Bible. No one painted
pictures of little children till the child
Jesus came to Bethlehem. I ere are
more sacred subjects in the world of
art than any other
The most beautiful books have been
inspired by the Bible. The finest char
acters in the greatest books owe their
origin to the Bible. The Bible is
every body's book 4; is all about love
and mercy and tells US that Jesus is
always waiting TO come to us IL we
will only let Him. In these blessed
pages we find such assurances as,
Let the sinner forsake his way. ! am
come to seek and to save that which
was lost" Come unto Me, Will give
YOU rest"
No other book can give US the same
help to live by or the same great COM
fort in hours of sorrow or trial, SO
let US all study 1t more and more. try
ing earnestly to live by It's teachings
and light in our path.

week, General Manager D. l.. Bush,
of the Milwaukee railroad
ed that a new station would be
built Immediately to replace the
passenger station destroyed by fire
last fall. The new structure will occu-
Ply most of the space formerly taken
up by the passenger station and the
freight depot, which was burned at the
same time, and the freight depot to
be erected will be on a site one block
farther west. The grounds not occu-
pied by the new station will be park
ed. The new building is to be a credit
to the city and up to the requirements
of Aberdeen as an important station
on the Milwaukee line, and will be so
built that additions can be built as
the growth of the city and the bust
ness of the road require them.

raigned before Supreme Court JUS
tice Willard p. Voorhees, in the county

Heidemann, who was arrested o.

grand jury following the reading of a
signed confession made to the detec-

In the confession Heidemann told Of
Staying the girl in the woods along
Deal Lake on November 9 last. He
said he killed the child on the spot
where she was found with a hammer.
With the proverbial rapidity Of Jer-
sey justice. Heidemann was led into
court three hours after the Indictment
was found. His face was white and
drawn and his hands shook as he
grasped the rail for support. He was
a picture of despair.
When the indictment was read
Heidemann collapsed. His plea was
announced In a voice SO faint as to be
almo$t inaudible. When he uttered
the word guilty" he sobbed audibly
and clutched at a table for support.

HINES STORY DENIED
DECLARED IN WASHINGTON TAFT
NOT LORiMER AID.
Der Saying There Mas No Truth
in the Statement.

Washington.-A fiat denial wat
made of the report from Springfield.
H., that the president had joined
with Senator Aldrich in urging the
election OF William Lorimer to the
United States matt
Edward Hines, the millionaire lum-
herman of Chicago, testified at the
Lorimer hearing that Senator Aldrich
had told him President Taft vas INK
ious to have Lorimer elected.
Last November there was a similar
report. Then President Taft wrote q
letter to a personal friend who had
made inquiries hat there was abso-
lutely no truth tn the statement. A
paragraph Of that letter says:
The reports, rumors or statements
that l consciously ent any weight OF
the administration to the election OF
Lorimer are wholly untrue"
President Taft himself would not an
swer the Hines statement. He believes
the one denial Is enough.
Following the Hines charge came
the statement that the Lorimer case
will be reopened soon after congress
convenes next Tuesday. That action
will be based on the developments in
the Lorimer hearing now in progress
in Springfield. 1t is expected that
much evidence will be developed
which might be of use in reopen1ng
the case here.

day given a life sentence on his
plea of guilty on the charge Of hav-
ing murdered Ralph Miles.
The prisoner was cool when taken
into court and showed no trace OF ex-

severe, but it might have been worse.
Heinz will be taken to the penlten-

a lawful occupation, according to a
decision handed down by Justice
Wright In the district Supreme court,
and as a result the widespread move
ment by the department Of justice to
end the practice in nearly half a
score of cities threatens to come to
naught. Justice Wright based his de-
cision on the ground that the amend
ment to the code defining "bucketing"
is unconstitutional because 1t deprives
citizens of the liberty Of contract
guaranteed them by the Constitution.
The decision was rendered in the
case of Edward Altemus of Jersey City
and Louis A. and Angelo Celia Of st.
Louis, who operated a ~so-called buck
ct shop under the title Of the Standard
Stock and Grain company. With 26
others they were indicted and, while
six of those pleaded guilty and we're
fined In sums ~aggregating $500, the
remainder decided to fight.
Movements of the government lead
ing to the indictments were s~hrouded
In the greatest secrecy. On April IL,
1910, however, when Indictments we're
obtained, raids on Shops" in seven
cities were made simultaneously,
wires were cut and customers were
thrown into panic. Since then, accord
Ing to Attorney General Wickersham,
Understanding" has become a thing
of the past east of Denver.
The government announced its In
tention to appeal from Justice
Wright's decision. The attorney gen
eral, when informed of the finding, de-
clared he would carry the question to
the Supreme court Of the United
States, If necessary, for he Is anxious
to have the matter determined in or
der that the department may proceed
with further prosecutions along the
line II the law is upheld.
In the meantime the law officers of
the government will watch carefully
the progress Of ar appeal of other Of
the indicted "bucket-shoppers" pend
Ing before Justice Gould OF the same
court. This appeal is not taken on
constitutional grounds. but raises
technical objections.

WHITES VS.. BLACKS
A SERIOUS RACE RIOT OCCURS
IN THE TOWN OF
LAUREL, DEL.
ONE KILLED AND SCORE HURT
Officers Unable to Cope With Fierce
Struggle, Which Lasts Several
Hours-Windows Shattered and Elk
terror Of Buildings Damaged.

Laurel, Del.-About 10 o'clock Sat
urday night a mob of armed negroes
swooped down upon a crowd Of spec
tators in the main thoroughfare of the
town and fired a volley Of buckshot in
to the throng. Orem Stockley, IS years
old, son of a famer living neal Lau-
rel, fell to the ground shot through
the head. He was taken to a hospi-
tai in Salisbury, Md, where he died the
following day.
George Hudson, SO years old, a white
man, of Bethel, was shot in the leg,
necessitating amputation, and John
Thompson. a white barber. was shot
in both legs, while shaving a patron.
Other white men were injured. 1t
is known that several negroes are in
jured, but they cannot be located.
Officers were unable to cope with
the mob and there was a fierce strug-
gle between the two races until 3
o'clock In the morning. Windows were
shattered and the exterior of build
ings was greatly damaged.
When it was learned that young
Stockley had died a number of white
men armed themselves and with Chief
of Police Ellis and others entered the
negro section and raided the house
which was said to be the head quar-
tiers Of the negro rioters. Three al
legged ringleaders were arrested and
taken to the Sussex county jail. Earl
Richards, a 15-year-old white boy,
stole his fathers revolver and captured
George Wright, a negro, for whom the
authorities have been looking for more
than a year. Richards compelled the
negro to hold up his hands until the
officers arrived. Wright is said to be
wanted in Virginia for the alleged MUIR
der of a white boy.
Officers are endeavoring to appre-
bend the g who fired the fatal
shot at young Stockley. Open threats
have been made of a lynching when
he Is captured.
