QUESTION NO. -,

Question for the preachers t.
answer.
Why did Goa CON nlnl the
people to offer burnt sacrifices
to him. Such as sheep and cat
tie of the very best, to what pur"
pose WAS it to him, and what
good did it do him to see the
smoke or to smell the flesh burn
ing, why not give the meat to the
starving children instead OF
burning it up? If there was a
man in this county that had
plenty of corn and meat, and he
would pile up some rocks for an
alter and lay his meat and corn
on it and burn it up instead OF
giving it to the hungry, We
would say that he was no Chris
tian, nor even a gentleman il
principle.
Answer this soon and we will
find another question for YOU.

ELECTION RESULTS.

The national election held Tuesday
was an overwhelming victory for M, {.
Wilson and Marshall, with Theodore
Roosevelt running a strong second.
and with President Taft running a
poor third. We are very sorry to see
democrat elected, for as a rule the
democratic administration means
stagnation in business and financial
depression. 1t was true that Mr..
Wilson did not get majority of all
votes cast, yet his plurality was large
owing to the old adage that a divid-
ed house las the republican party
was) cannot stand. Yet the republi-
can national convention at Chicago
last June made it possible for Tues
days results. The wishes Of a ma
jority of the people should at all
times be respected. However, let us
hope for better things next national
election in 1916.
