Exodus l9:1-6-August 81.
Let us have grace, whereby we may
offer service well-pleasing to God with
reverence ana awe. Hebrews 1928. r. "
Two months after tle< Passover deliy-
erance, the Israelites arrived at Mt. Sinai,
but on their way they had two valuable
! lessons respecting Gods grace and power.
At Rephidim, Moses in the name of the
Lord, smote the rock, and from it gushed
water, abundantly refreshing Israel, and
as a rivulet following them through much
of their subsequent journey. st. Paul. by
inspiration, declares that the rock rep
resented Christ, that the shifting of the
rock represented the putting of Christ to
shameful DEATH but that only by this
means is the water of life provided for
those who desire to be Gods people. AS
the waters of that rock followed the
Israelites, SO the stream of Gods favor
refreshes Christs disciples throughout
their wilderness journey.
Refreshed in body and in faith, Israel
journeyed on, but encountered new OBJ
stacles. The Amalexites, warlike peo-
pie. considered the coming of Israel as an
them A people used to peaceful pursuits
as Israel had been for centuries, would
NATURALLY be at a disadvantage with such
opponents Yet God gave them the vic
tory He indicated, however, that it was
not by their prowess or skill, but of His
grace that they conquered.
Moses, stationed upon high hill, lifted
up his hands in prayer to God for the
people, While he did SO, success was
theirs; but when he ceased thus to pray,
the Amalekites We're victors. Perceiving
this, Aaron and Hur assisted in holding
up Moses hands until the battle termi-
mated successfully for Israel God thus
indicated that Moses was the advocate or
representative of Israel, without whom
they could do nothing.
In the antitype, We realize that Spirit
ual Israelites have conflicts with enemies
too mighty for them without the Lord S
assistance The world, the flesh and the
devil make common cause against all
who are seeking the heavenly canaaii
We who are followers of Jesus have sue
cess in our warfare only as we have Him

by the back of the neck and swung her
over his big, brawny shoulders, cave man

left the door open and told her to go. The

she is in the house It's an awful thing
for q woman to know that she must face

what you will--but the very fact remains
that man big enough and strong enough
to make her sit in the chimney corner and
knit however much she may revolt at the

Billy quoted. "Humphl I don't believe it,

The Salina Journal says: Charles
M. Sawyer, the new bank commits
sioner would like to shift the re-
sponsibility of passing on stock sell
ing corporations under The "blue
sky" law and thinks that board
would be better qualified to pass
on the merits of the applicants than
one man. On the other hand, it may
be argued that, with the RESPONSE
bility on one man, action on pend
ing applications woull be quicker
and as a general rule fully as salts
factory. At least, this feature OF
the bank commissioners office has
proven quite satisfactory to the state
since its Inauguration. In general
the Journal is right but the weak
ness of the blue sky law is not in
the administering power so much as
it is in the fact that company may
sell stock under temporary permit
while investigation is going on. No
such privilege should be given. Sell
ing stock until full permit is
given should be violation of the
law.

NIcI1LEs AND DIMES,

Five and ten cents! Rivulets make

to lake and sea.
A $20.0O0,O 900 building is APP
preaching completion in New York

This colossal building Is being
erected by a self-made man. He has
amassed a great fortune by selling
articles at five and ten cents each.
He charged nothing more and moth
ing less. Nickles and dimes were
good enough for him, yet many OF
us treat these insignificant coins
with an indifference amounting to
contempt.
Think OF the army OF eager GUS
toners, marching with ceaseless
tread before the five and ten cent
counters and paying the cost OF q
500, 900, 900 skyscraper from the
profits they left behind!
Can It be that the high cost OF
living stimulated this tremendous
rush? Isn't it more reasonable to
infer that the cost Of living cannot
be beyond the reach Of the humblest
and poorest when nickel or a dime
will 90 so far and buy so much?
Isn't it possible that these unique
five and ten cent stores, the pecul-
lar creation of an alert American
business man, afford the most sat
isfactory indication Of the thrift and
economy of those who know how to
save and to whom the matter OF the
cost OF high living has not been con-
fused with that Of the high cost OF

been highly creditable to himself and
to the county. He has managed its
affairs as If they were his own and

that he would in the conduct of his

IF A MONEY TRUST. WHY?

That money piles UP in New York
banks, and that by reason of this
congestion a few men are given a
control over currency and credit that
no men ought to have, has probably
been demonstrated to conclusion
by the Pujo money trust investiga-
ting committee although so far as
that is concerned the committee has
developed little of Importance that
was not already known.
But unless the committee holds
different views from those apparent
ly entertained by its attorney, Mr..
Untermeyer, the outcome of its in
vestigation does not seem likely to
be profitable in the way Of remedial
legislation.
Mr.. Untermeyer has been proceed
ing, apparently, upon the assumption
that the country's surplus funds are
gathered in Wall Street as the re-
suit of kind of conspiracy in which
the Wall Street bankers are the prin-
ciples and other bankers all over
the country are accessories and CO.
adjutors. OF course that isn't so.
Money flows to New York under
existing banking conditions just as
naturally and as inevitably as the
rivers flow to the sea-because there
is one play where there is always
a market for 1t. And there is al
ways a market for it there for the
reason that the securities listed on
the New York Stock Exchange are
instantly and always convertible in
to cash-and they are the only col
lateral in the country that IL thus
instantly and certainly; convertible.
The remedy for this currency con-
gestion. therefore does not lie
fixing by law the rate Of Interest
that may be paid for call money.
That rate Is not raised for the pur-
pose Of attracting money from the
country banks, as Mr.. Untermeyer
seems to think; It Is raised to check
speculation, and it does It very eff
fectively. The remedy Is to make
some other eort Of colIateral as

York market. Good commercial pa

JoURNALIsDG AZ K. Q.

The Lawrence Journal and Gazette
have issued their editorial opinions
unanimously and simultaneously
that the school OF Journalism OF the
University OF Kansas is failure
and should be discontinued. Neither
paper goes into details and we are
left to Judge from a general con-
domination of the department as an
extravaganza" and "fad" as to
the Lawrence papers real objection
to the same.
The department has been in opera
ton as definite part of the univer-
sity work for two years. Before that
II was a part Of the English depart
ment and conducted without the adj
vantage of mechanical equipment
or the publishing Of daily paper
as a laboratory section. To equip
this department two years ago the
regents spent about $4,000 and 1t
IL in charge OF Professor Thorpe anu
two assistants. Something like q
hundred students are enrolled In the
various classes composing the de-
partment's work. The work OF Q
state university demands a certain
amount of publicity for the infor-
nation Of the state as to its activi-
ties. All this has been carried on by
the Journalism department. Besides,
It furnishes instruction for those
students who desire to enter news
paper work and with the publication
Of q daily paper they are enabled
to learn the business from actual
practice. Much work in English Is
also carried on by this department.
The daily paper, the Kansan, has
become self-supporting and there IL
a lively interest in all the classes
If the university Is to educate
students in vocational work, II 1t Is
to teach domestic science, engineer
ing and kindred subjects, there Is
good reason why it should also
teach journalism. All over the
country similar departments are be-
ing established, only a few thus far
so completely equipped as at Law
renee. But all are coming to 1t
and in q short time every great
school will handle its publicity and
teach newspaper work in a depart
ment similar to that at X. u, which
is recognized as one Of the best in
the country.
It would be unwise for the Uni
versity to abandon this department.
Out of It comes as much good for
the school as any department the
institution possesses. It's head is one
of the most capable newspapermen
in the west and he is getting results
equal to those In any school OF jour
nalism in the country. Newspaper
men ought to strive to build up and
strengthen their own profession and
Kansas should take pride in the fact
that both at X. U. and at the Agri-
cultural College preparation for
newspaper work is recognized as be-
ing a part of the educational de-
mands Of today. 1t would be better
for the newspapers Of kansas to
suggest methods how to improve the
teaching of Journalism than to adj
vocate abandonment Of instruction.
