DOES
NOT INTEREST
Not Everyone Other Subjects
of Greater Moment.

This being what is known as
presidential year, it would seem
that everybody is talking politics. A
man usually considers that the only
way he can show his patriotism is to
unite with one of the political par
ties. While this is not deeried at
the same time one may be patriotic
and still not be particularly inter
ested in politics as subject for dis
cussion or deep thought.
Abraham Lincoln said, "No lib
rary is complete without two certain
boOks-the Bible and Shakespeare;
hardly a quotation used in litera-
ture that is not taken from one of
those books"
Lincoln was very much interested
in politics but he did not let it take
his attention from the study of the
Bible as well as other good works
of literature.
One of the leading topics of dis
cussiOn at the present is caused by
the distribution of the new illustrat-
ed Bible by the NEWS. Everybody
wants to know how 1t is possible to
present such a magnificent volume
on the terms explained in the GER
|tifcate printed on another page of
todav's issue. There is no secret
about it.
The only possible way to do it is
by taking advantage Of quantity
production as it was necessary for
the publishers to do in supplying
the demand created by leading
newspapers throughout The country.
There are many editions. of other
Bibles, all good in their way, but
none of them contain the beautiful
pictures printed in with the type
and each one illustrating a particu-
lar subject. In addition to these
wonderful pictures are numerous
full page color plates from the fam
Gus Tissot collection. These, to-
gether with copious marginal refer
ences, educational helps, self-pro-
nouncing text and colored maps
make this a volume Of rare educa-
tional value.
While the $500 volume is BY far
the most magnificent work of its
kind ever printed, there is also a
$500 volume, exactly the same ex-
cept for the binding which is in silk
These two bindings are also
furnished IN the Catholic edition in
which the Illustrations consist Of
full page plates and maps, approved
by the church, without the Tissot
and text pictures.
Look for the educational certifi-
cate printed on another page of to
days issue and clip it without de-
lay.

TAFT'S RECORD
ON The RECALL
Favored the Principle of Re-
call of Court Decisions.

Now hat Mr.. Taft is so violent in
his opposition to any proposal to per
nit the people of a state to assert
their understanding of the meaning
Of the constitution made by them
when that meaning has been per
verted by a judicial ruling, it is well
TO examine his past record in this
particular. Recorded facts prove that
President Taft is not opposed to the
"recall Of decisions of the federal
courts when the recall is made by
"a representative part Of the people"
even though that part consists Of one
of 100, 900 Americans.
Here is an expose" especially in
teresting at this time. 1t appears in
the editorial columns Of the PhiIadel-
phia North American:
"Long before Theodore Roosevelt
upheld the hands of Harvey Wiley
and forced the passage Of the pure
food law there had been notorious
frauds in the making, marking and
branding of distilled liquors. But the
question seemed pretty well settled
by the unfolding of the explicit pro
visions of the national pure food law
in the rulings Of DR.. Wiley, sustain
ed by repeated messages of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, opinions Of Attorney
General Bonaparte and decisions Of
different federal courts.
Merely Common Sense.
1.-THE question was simply one of
common sense. There was to be no
prevention Of or penalty for the sale
of any sort of liquor. The rulings
meant only that the purchaser was
entitled to the privilege Of learning
from the label whether he was buying
what he was paying for. /"
"Undoctored whisky was to be label
ed whisky A mixture Of two real
WHISTLES was to be labeled blend A
i mixture Of q whisky with something
that is not whisky was to be labeled
compound A connection that
snelled and tasted like whisky, but
contained no whisky, was to be la
beled imitation
"That was all there was to the pro-
visions Of the pure food law governing
interstate commerce in whisky. 1t
was such a simple, incontroyertible
regulation for square dealing that
every American who thought he knew
along what lines the administration
of William H. Taft would be con
Quoted scoffed at the idea that the
question was not a closed chapter.
when the reCtifiers Of Cincinnati
and Peoria limited at the influence they
could bring to bear upon a Cincinnati
newspaper and Speaker Cannon and
prophesied the discrediting and the
downfall Of Wiley we thought them
overconident in proclaiming that they
could reopen a contest which had been
won and won I've and over by the
people, by the state food commission
