Ignorance of Editorial Writer Appalling

Washington, d. c., Feb. 23.-That
the nations capital is the source of all
ignorance may be taken from an edi-
torial in the Washington Star, which
appeared this week under the caption,
THE Forty-Eighth State in which a
|high-priced editorial writer imparts
the information that the chances for
statehood for Indian Territory are not
considered at all bright Enlightening
his eastern readers, the editorial-writer
goes on to say:
with all the continental American
territories save Alaska and the Indian
Territory, organized into states, there
are forty-eight stars on the flag, and
unless some of the states are divided
or Alaska and Hawaii are admitted,
the number will not reach the point of
fifty, which has been considered by
some as a suitable stopping point in
this process.
"All that remains on the continent
in the way of possible statehood ma
terial is the Indian Territory and per-
lhaps the District of Columbia. The
former has never been organized as a
territory having no governor, legisla
ture or delegate in congress. It is in
part government reservation, and
also in part held by the Indian tribes
as their own land, yet of course, un
der the jurisdiction of the United
States. Statehood for the Indian Ter
ritory is less likely than for Alaska o.
Hawaii unless conditions there change

MOSES AND SCIENCE NOT IN

Thesis:- the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth. :"
Genesis III.
An educated Brahmin priest, upon
his first visit to England, had placed
in his hands the only copy of a Bible
he ever looked upon. He opened to
the first chapter of Genesis, and read
the first verse, and reverently closing
the book he exclaimed; This is the
most wonderful statement ! ever read,
and is perfect answer to the life
long query of my soul: In the be-
ginning GO, -"
Nothing can exceed the grandeur of
the thought, nothing surpass the ap-
propriateness of the words, as an IN
PRODUCTION to the Holy volume God has
given US. One has well said: Look
ing back across the wide waste OF all
the ages past, this sentence Of divine
sublimity, like a majestic ARCHWAY
stands at the closing bounds of etrnity
past-beyond it are the silence and
darkness of ancient night. and out Of
it issue the periods, and scenes, and
events of time"
The ancient schools of philosophy
without an exception, held that mat
ter was etrnal. To them it appeared
an absurdity to suppose that anything
could be CREATED or produced as
God has recorded in Hebrews 11:3:
! Through faith we understand that
the worlds we're framed by the Word
of God, SO that things which are seen
were not made of THINGS WHICH
DO APPEAR" And in this first verse
of the Inspired Record we have this
wonderful and independent sentence
wherein the Holy Spirit afIirms that
the heavens and the earth were
created" or primarily originated by
God. Here is asserted the ABSOLUTE
i lORIGINATION of the materials com
posing the universe. This creative act
was quite distinct from, and long
prior to, the acts included in "the siz
days" and which begin with the emer
gence of light from darkness, at the
third verse. This leads the writer, a
this juncture, to interpolate tbs
thought that between the first verse O
Genesis and the second verse ther,
is annie room for all those immens.

Kilbane Wins From AtteIl.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. PA new
pugilistic champion was made in the
Vernon arena today when Johnny Xii
bane of Cleveland, Ohio, decisively out
fought, outgamed and outpunched Abe
Attell in twenty round contest and
at the close was awarded the feather
weight title'by Referee Charles Eyton.
+ Nearly 10000 persons saw the fight
Fully 5000 others were turned away
at the gates. It was the greatest crowd
that ever viewed a prize fight in Los
Angeles. The receipts amounted ap
proximately to $4,000. The men fought
for purse of $4,000 of which Attell
was to receive $6,5OO, win, lose, OF
draw, and Kilbane $3,500. Besides
they agreed to take five per cent of the
moving picture proceeds.
Attell was clearly outfought His
boasted speed and wonderful clever
ness were not in evidence, Kilbane
made him look like novice in nearly
every round Only in one round, the
seventh, did Attell have lead ant
that was not by any means as decisive
as that of Kilbane in the remaining
rounds.

is easily disposed of, for no where in
the Sacred Scriptures is il declared
that God compelled His son to die for
sinners. On the other hand it shows
very clearly that the Father and the
Son were in perfect agreement on the
montous question of the worlds saliva
ton, and that Jesus came to His own
free will, and out of love for lost and
ruined race died for them. The second
objection feel God has given me Just
at this juncture in yonder ant hill. You
see those busy little creatures. and
our naturalists tell us, and we believe
it, that next to man, of all Gods crea-
lures the ant comes nearest i'm intelIl-
Igence to mankind"
The sceptic assented to this, and the
lady went on and said:
"Supposing, for the sake of argu-
ment that you were the creator of
those ants, and had given them their
system of government, and supposing.
further, that you had determined upon
change of their ant form of govern
ment, how would you, sir, go about it?
Would you endeavor to communicate
your mind and wish in French to
lthem?"
mo, madam, said the Frenchman
with smile, do not think the ants
would understand French
Well said the lady, how would
you communicate your VIII to that com
munity of ants?"
Like a flash from tie throne of God
he truth was borne in upon the French
man, and he replied in low and rev
erent voice:
Madam, | suppose in order that my
will should be communicated to the
ants it would be absolutely necessary
that /, their creator. should become an
ANT"
And so, in order that God should
communicate His will to a lost world,
it was necessary that God should be-
come Man"
The brilliant Frenehman's arguments
were answered.
Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the
form of God, thought it not robbery
to be EQUAL WITH GOD; but made
himself of no reputation, and took upon
Him the form of servant, and was
made in the likeness of men; and be-
ling found in fashion as a man, he
humbled Himself, and became obed-
lent unto death, even the death of the
lcross. Wherefore God also hath high
ly exalted Him, and given Him a name
which is above every name; that at
the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of things in heaven, and things
in earth, and things under the earth;
and that every tongue should confess
Jesus Christ as LORD, to the glory of
God the Father" (Phil 2:5-11),

In several states where there are
contests for the election of delegates
to the democratic national convention
there has been industrious circulation
of a story to the effect that Governor
Woodrow Wilson did not vote for
Bryan and Kern in 1908. Senator
Gore called to the attention of the New
Jersey executive this canard which is
being circulated in Oklahoma. 1t re
ceived prompt denial from Governor
Wilson, who sent the blind senator
the following telegram;
BE kind enough in my behalf to
deny the statement which | under
stand is being circulated in Oklahoma
that l voted against Mr.. Bryan in 1908

The Chattanooga Tines has complet-
ed canvass of the weekly press in
Tennessee for the purpose of ascer-
tanning how these papers stand with
reference to the democratic presiden-
tial nominee Out of 81 weekly papers
in Tennessee, 80 are for Woodrow Viii
son, and two have made him second
choice. Ten of these papers support
are for Mr. Bryan, one for Underwood
Harmon, five favor Champ Clark, two
and one for Folk. The poll discloses
the fact that Woodrow Wilson is the
overwhelming choice of the democrats
of Tennessee for the democratic presi-
Dental nomination.

If elected, he will make one of the
very best presidents we ever had.
Hence as a democrat and as a citizen,

His election at the head of a demo
cratic ticket in the rock-ribbed repub-
lican state of New Jersey, heretofore
seemingly hopelessly tariff-bought and
trust-ridden, shows his strength.

his ability, honesty and qualities of
