The feature of the election which
is most remarkable is the almost solid
vote cast against the bonds in the
two country precincts. No one seems
to be able to explain the mental proc
esses by which those to be most bene-
fitted could have so generally opposed
a proposition to provide funds for
building highways that will be more
used by those in the country than by
the dwellers in the city.
The fact that at least so per cent
of the burden for this bond issue will
be borne by those living within the
city, while so large a benefit will ac-
crue to the people living out of town,
makes it difficult to explain or under
stand the opposition which reflected
itself in the vote cast.
Now that the funds are to be pro-
vided for building public highways in
beats one and three, the hope is ex-
pressed that the board of Supervisors
will have but one thought in the Sc
lection Of the three commissioners
who are to administer this good roads
fund, and that is, that no man shall
be selected in whom there is the
slightest doubt, either as to his in
tegrity or his ability. The selection
of incompetent men in this case will
be just as bad as the selection of dis
honest ones. Every dollar of this
money should be spent wisely.

What Is Beer?

two question Representative Amber

Wilson to answer. Anderson asked

today for the answer. Anderson's
only curiosity is to know what beer
is not beer His constituents raise
barley which they believe is the only
grain which should go to make up
beer and that other connections are
snare.
Anderson recently got from the ag-
ricultural department a definition OF
beer signed by DR.. Harvey F. Wiley.
The definition was not given the force
of law by Secretary Wilson, .Ander-
son says, and he wants to know why.
The Wiley definition of beer as set
forth is, "fomented product made
from a mash composed of barley,
malt and hops with or without a
small quantity of unmalted cereals,
not exceeding 80 per cent of the
weight of the barley malt used

calculated to be beneficial in the foun-
essential to successful officer.
The academy was formally opened
on July 4, 1902, with ten cadets and
five officers as instructors. Its success
is said to be due to the administrative
ability of General Sylyanus Thayer

ment about $500. All cadets are on

THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW

A. Christian Bible Studsnts-Ths Sat-
isfactory Proof Of why God Per-
mits Evil"
One OF the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today is,
'Why does God permit evil?" AS we
look about us In the world we observe
that it is filed with sorrow and trouble,
sickness and pain and every trial we
could enumerate, and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS 1T.
We realize that He is almighty and
that He could prevent 1t If He wished
We read. in His Word that He Is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs, and we
know how much that means; yet Of
tentimes, it seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble This question is made very
clear in a book entitled, 1.-THE Divine
Plan Of the Ages" Every statement
is backed by Scripture, and shows that
while God does not sanction evil HE
has ALLOWED SIN AND DEATH
TO REIGN FOR THESE LONG SIX
THOUSAND YEARS. This and many
other subjects OF deep interest to all
Of Gods people are discussed fully and
in language easy Of comprehension.
