We now turn from our studies In
the manifesto or inaugural address OF
Jesus to one Of the outstanding Incl
dents of his life of service.
This lesson is dramatic one, lights
and shadows, surprise and revelation,
rebuke and encouragement are rapid
ly mingled, The subject of the les.
son Is well chosen. Leaving the multi.
tude to whom he had been preaching,
Jesus commands that they pass over
TO the other side of the lake, v. 35.
Let US pass over" he says. Jesus
neyer asks his disciples to go where
he will not go or has not been before.
How touchingly vivid is the sugges-
ton of v. So. "they took him as he
was,"-he is tired and weary, he,
whose invitation is to all who are
weary and needing rest, he who had
not where to lay his head, Is carried

Both master and friends, who are
soon to meet case Of great sin, are
before that met by a great storm. But
be who Is Lord and Master of forces,
sleeps calmly on. Why not? Who
else could be indifferent? Not so these
disciples; they have yet to know him
perfectly and hence 1t is quite natural
that In their alarm they should awak.
en- him as they view the rapidly ALL
ing boat and exclaim, Master, carest
thou not that we perlsh?" Weary as
he was, and personally Indifferent as
he may have been, yet for the sake Of
his chosen friends he arose and re-
buked the storm, and the peace which
he later gave the demonlac is first
shown In material things as he Quieted
the waves Compare v. 80 and 15).
Had Little Faith.
It was a great storm, v. 81, like
wise a great calm. The psalmist says
great peace have they who love thy
law" great peace have they who truly
know and love Jesus, John 14:2D
HIS rebuke to the disciples, v. 40, was
80 gentle as to lose its sting,-"how
Is 1t that we have so little faith?" They
had some faith, 1t is true for they ap.
pealed to him In their great need, but

state officers. 1t is reasonable to guess
that, owing to this wide division of
ideas, the matter is likely to fail
entirely. = ts@9 &'@
One of the hardest fought items is
to be that of appropriations. There
is tendency on the part of the en-
tire administratio ton to draw up little
quite evident that it viii be neces-
sary, as the extravaganza of the state
during the past few years has been
on the increase, and that increase
has been of such a degree that those
who have to raise the money are cry
ing against it and are calling for a
halt. 1t is quite probable that each
state institution viii call for more
money, and while it is natural that as
the state increases in population, its
expense must also be increased; vet
the latest figures, produced a, few
days ago, show that the increase of
expense has far outstripped the in
crease of population. This feature Of
our financial condition must be at
tended to with great care, and unless
the legislature holds down. it will be
the painful duty of the governor to
WELD the pruning knife to that ex-
tent which will make the eXpendi-
lures fit the purse.
In connection with this subject the
proposition of establishing budget
system is very likely to be presented.
1t has been discussed from time to
time, but today the necessity of it is
more apparent than ever. So far in
the history of governments, both state
and national, the budget system has
proven the only safe and satisfactory
way of conducting the financial sys-
tenn of state The proposition will in
all probability be presented to the leg
islature.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
ORDERS 1000 CARS

Portland, Ore, Dec. 27.-Onc of the
largest single orders for equipment
ever made by the Northern Pacific
was announced by Asst. Gen. Freight
Agent +. Fl. F'ogarty here when he
declared that his road had ordered for
early delivery after Jan. ], 10000
900 worth of equipment.
There will be no more. talk of car
shortage on the Northern Pacific, for
this order includes 1000 box, fiat and
refrigerator cars and several loco
motives @....~
Railroads operating westward from
Minneapolis still labor with a rather
serious car shortage, having more
business than they can handle and all
equipment being constantly in use.
There has been. no change in the
general business situation in the
Territory of these roads. Industries
are working full capacity and ship
pers are demanding cars in every
line. on the Northern Pacific 1t is
simply question of cars as to the
volume of business it will do
Southern railroads have about all
the business they can handle and
traffic is growing. Should the move

the bill providing for the Initiative,
referendum and recall is introduced,
as il is sure to be. Some favor the
initiative and referendum but are OPP
posed to the recall in any form.
Some are in favor of the recall of the
official, while others favor only the
recall of this act Some are in favor
Of applying the recall Of the act to al
acts except to the decisions of the
courts. The seriousness Of the re-
calling of court decisions is apparent,
and while it is a very grave PROPOSE
ton, it Is argued pro and con by those
who have made a. study of the case.
The recall of court decisions Is SO
far reaching that it will undoubtedly
be weighed very carefully before the
law is extended that far. ... ... .
Employers Liability.
There is considerable talk of an EN-
ployers' liability act being introduc-
ed. This has been up several times
before, but has failed to accomplish
its end. There does not seem to be much
enthusiasm over the subject and while
those fayoring it claim the chances
are good for it's pulling through al
this session. yet there are many who
look sidewise at the proposition and
shake their heads in doubt.
There is some talk Of a new capitol

The Board OF Health and the City
Council. t.


! The Mayor and the. Commission
ers OF the City of Shreveport have
been advised by letter by DIR. q. G
Chandler, health officer, of The
needs of his department and III
which he expresses the hope that
it will not be necessary to take
radical measures TO secure The
funds necessary.
Tn reply Commissioners RiNes ST.
perintendent of Accounts and FL
nance. explains that the city is mol
in. a condition to appropriate the
money requested for the health de-
partment. and directs DR.. Chan
dIer's attention TO the budget fol
the year, which has already passed
its first reading.
The appropriations as budgeted
and as explained by Mr.. Rives, are
stretched to The full limits of tht
revenues obtainable. s..
In connection with the urgency OF
DIR. Chandler for the. funds needed
there is proposed referendum OF
the issue to the qualified voters to
determine at an election as TO
whether the city shall be compelled
to appropriate $500 for the needs
of the Board of Health.
The appropriation by the city fol
The Board of Health is 1880. an
amount not only inadequate, but In
a sense discreditahle.
II would seem that from the in
sistence of DR.. Chandler and the
persistence of the city authorities
i'm disclaiming their inability to in
crease the appropriation for the
Board of Health from 81 500 per an
mum is about to. eliminate into an
ENHANCEMENT, undesired and I'M
profitable. ...,...
ri must be conceded thai The
Board of Health can accomplish lit
tie good for The city's welfare on
fi 500 per annum.
As health is greater than wealth.
ii would seem the best policy for
the Mayor and the Commissioners
and the health authorities TO meet
and agree upon a compromise. If
the city is not financially able TO
appropriate $500, it can or it
should at least agree on 5000 which
with the strictest of economy and
good management would be suffi-
eient for the needs Of the health
department of the city.
