Jones Endorses Stark

The Glacier,
Gentlemen: L have noticed in last
weeks issue Of your paper that Mr..
Stark will be a candidate for county
Judge at the general election in No
vember. Certainly this is step in
the right direction. Lawyers, being
students of the principles of right and
justice, should ever be imbued with a
desire to follow out those principles.
The lawyer who stands for the true
ideals of his profession must necessar-
lily sustain most important relation
to the public BY reason of his educa-
tion and habits Of thought, his close
contact with the forces of progress.
his acquaintance with men Of various
conditions and opinions, he is fitted to
render the highest service to society.
1t is true that the salary of this Office
is only S25 per month and the Judge Of
this county has q large amount of work
to do However, this office. when
possible, should be filled by a LAWYER
and he IS a poor representative of the
legal pr0fessiOn'who cares for nothing
but his fees and has no other standard
than personal success. Pecuniarv gain
should not always be the incentive To
action in the legal profession in this
! country. Every zone of US can cali to
mind lawyers Of our personal acduiant-
ance who have, in q greater or Smaller
way, performed public service of this
character. The citizens OF this county
should be glad indeed to note that Mr.
Stark has become a Candluate. He has
an office down town on the main street
wherR he can always be found he
STANDS for good roads and pledges an
economical administration. Certainly
man withahis legal ability and ex.
perience. aided by two commissioners
will bring this county out of debt and
reduce our taxes.
Yours very truly,
fa'u auV' A. b. Jones.

Robbins Defends Initiative

To the Glacier:
Referring to the leading editorial IN
a current issue Of your paper | believe
YOUR advice to all voters to vote NJ on
all measures not well understood is
based on groundess fears.
With a tory element IN society ac-
tuated by the most selfish motives
satisfied with present political and IN,
dustrial conditions and institutions and
intending, as | believe they are, to
vote NO on all proposed measures for
the purpose of DESTROYING the referen-
dun, to accept your advice and add the
voting strength of the indifferent
would certainly accomplish its destruc-
tion or would render it absolutely use
less as the combined strength of these
two elements would easily outnumber
those of the "well informed" that vote
for any good measure which would also
have recorded against it the "well
informed that oppose it, insuring its
defeat.
The Glaciers advice would therefore,
If needed, destroy the whole direct
legislation scheme of Oregon, leaving
us dependent on the legislature with
all its we'll known abuses and absolute
indisposition and inability to render
any service to the average citizen or
anyone except the predatory interests.
The very thoughts of such return
should cause us to pause a moment to
compare measures'made by the legisla-
ture with those made by the people
through the initiative and referendum
and | am certainly Of the opinion that
the popular made laws would make the
best showing, as consider that the
people have voted very wisely in al
most all measures during the reign of
the direct legislation plan in Oregon.
| would consider it much better to
advise poorly-informed voters to re-
frain from voting at all. Such legisla-
tion would not be based on majorities,
perhaps, bnt would be as nearly by
majorities as legislation by legislatures
composed of mere delegates that fail
to represent their constituency as Ore.
CONS have in the past. To advise the
uniformed to veto the ballot of the
well informed is not just to the on'
who spends the time and takes tn,
trouble to inform himself and woult
soon so discourage the public spirite,
members that they too would lose al
interest until the initiative and refer
endum would be rendered wholly void.
Instead of asking the uniformed t
vote NO on all, through fear of votin
YES on some bad bills, we should &C
wise those who are not sure of the mel
its of bill to ''stay out of the game
and not by his Indifference and lack {
information destroy the good that h
more patriotic, public spirited and enc
getc brother is able and willing to d
Although the list Of proposed measure
this year is longer in numbers and
more vital subjects | believe we a
going to get an intelligent expressi,
on most OF the bills. So let's infor
ourselves as we'll as we can and as f
as we can and express ourselves on
where we believe we understand {

are not sure we understand the mes
ure thoroughly.

/ the mans tongue
we understand that these melhoos
vere used in order to attract the man :
attention and assist him In the eAef-
else OF faith
The statement that Jesus sighed is
worthy Of note; we can only surnlse
that It indicated His deep sympathy
with the man before Him and with the
oroenine creation in general. The
lesson seems to be that He was
rouehsd With a Feeling Of Mans In
frmitios,
as had been prophesied. He was per
feet. He did not have body WIN
aches aud pains and blemishes, such
as other men have, but this did not
make Him cold and unsympatheuc'
rather the reverse. His perfect MIND
would make all His sensibilities more
active than ours; His sympathy would
be stronger His sense OF pain keenef'
We, as a fallen race, have become 80
accustomed TO many Of our surround
Ings that they are commonplace ana
we are inclined to consider them nat
ural-forgettlng that the natural order
of man would be the perfect ORDER
and that the blemished state Is the un-
natural.
In yet another way may we suppose
our Master was touched with a feel |
ing of our infirmitles, namely, by rea-
son of His losing vitality on the occa-
sion OF each miracle. Is not this the
OF the Scripture which de-
clares that "He poured out His soul
unto deathY Daily, hourly, His vi
tality was being exhausted In the heal
Ing, blessing, comforting and Instruct
Ing of those with whom He was in
contact. This thought should properly |
bring our hearts into very close touch |
and sympathy with Him, and give US
that much clearer view Of the Savior's
love.
The day before His crucihxion our
Lord said, "My soul Is exceeding sor-
rowful, even unto death; ! have bap-
tism to be baptized with, and how am
straltened until 1t be accompllshedF'
1t was accomplished fully the follow
ing day, on Calvary, when He cried,
at is finished" His baptism into
death was accomplished.
It is following the account Of this
miracle that we read that the multi
tude declared the words of our text.
We are not to understand that merely
this one healing was the basis OF their
comment, for the account of these
same instances by st. Matthew (xv,
29-3D tells of great multltudes gather
ed, having with them many lame,
blind, dumb and MANNED and many
others, and they cast them down at
His feet, and He healed them, inso.
much that the multitudes wondered
and glorihed God.

FINE LECTURE COURSE.
Is Suggested BY Clergy For Westmin.
ster During the Coming Winter.


The clergymen of this city, together
with representative laymen OF their
congregations have decided to ask the
cooperation Of our citizens in the es-
tablishment of University Extension
course Of lectures during the coming
winter a course of related lectures
to be delivered at intervals Of couple
weeks has been selected that will be
both instructive and interesting.
The American Society for Extension
Of University Teaching is a corporate
body with power to organize and carry
on educational work in the United
States. Tit il maintained by voluntary
annual contributions from its mem
bers and other generous friends of edu-
cation. The members contribute from
$500 to $500 or more year to cover
the expense Of conducting the work o.
the society which amounts to more
than 1900 per annum. 1t is not or
ganized to make money, but to give in
struction and information. It's lecture
courses cover all forms of knowledge
history, literature, art and sociology.
During the last ten years lecture
courses have been given in Frederick
with a growing interest on the part of
the citizens, also in the college Of Notre
Dame i'm Baltimore, i'm Elkton, Glyn-
don, in Hanover, Pa, as we'll as in
other cities In Maryland and adjoining
states. What has been done in other
communities no larger than ours, can
and ought to be done by us. Those
who have this matter in charge feel
justified In obligating themselves and
making the necessary arrangements,
providing 160 subscriptions of $1.25
each are given. These subscriptions
are for tickets for the course of six
lectures and are transferable. But no
one who attends the first lecture will
miss any of the rest. If you are not
called upon and desire to promote the
success of this work leave your sub
scription at the First National Bank. It
IL necessary to take action now al the
society Is now arranging it's series OF
lectures for the coming winter and
many Of it's lecturers are in great de-
mand.
The higher the level Of life and the
more intelligent and enlightened the
citizenship, the more progressive and
permanent and organized society be-
comes. The establishment Of such
course of lectures a. f. proposed will
stimulate reading and thought and
will make for a happier and more in
telIigent social life. 1t is teaching
adapted to the living needs of the peo-
pie, within reach Of all classes and
will contribute to the profit and pleas
ure OF alI-from youth to old age.
