Are well Drilled

For the purpose Of determln
ing to what extent the fire drills
are practiced in the public
schools of the city small dele
CATION. including the editors Of
| both Washburn papers, made
trip to the Walker High School
Tuesday afternoon and request
ed Supt. Oscar to sound the fire
alarm without giving any warn
ing in advance to the teachers or
children. Immediately after ar
irving Supt. Oscar complied
with the request and the alarm
was sounded. In the space OF
but a few seconds the doors
leading from all of the rooms
were thrown open by the teach
ers and the children came out in
file and made their way down
flights of stairs leading from the
first, second and third floors of
the building. In the space OF
just sixty seconds from the time
the alarm was sounded all of the
five hundred children were out
Of the building. The children
are so drilled that they form in
lines with two abreast and march
out of the rooms on the run,
each room taking one side of the
stairs so that there is four
abreast going down the stairs.
By the time the little folks on
on the lower floors are out of the
building the larger children from
the second and third floors are
on their way down the stairs.
There is not a seconds time lost
and it is remarkable how the
building can be emptied in such
short space of time.
A trip was then made to the
Pioneer school where the alarm
of fire was again sounded. This
school contains little tots rang
ing in age from four to thirteen
years. Some of the smaller
children are located on the
second floor of the building.
The children from the rooms on
the lower floor march out of
their rooms and out of the build
ING while the children on the
second floor climb out of the
windows coming down the fire
escapes. This building was en-
tirely emptied in less than a
minute and half.
We learned from Supt. Oscar
that these fire drills were prac-
ticed on an average OF
about every three weeks. In
side of about five minutes time
from the time the alarm is
sounded the children are back in
school ready to take up their
work.
: We want to congratulate the
teachers Of the public schools
for their work along this line
for the children are trained al
most TO perfection. In case of
4! fire in the public schools of
Washburn there is little likli-
hood that any of the children
would get injured. for with the
children trained as they are
there is little danger of a panic
even in case Of fire.
These fire drills are a magni-
icent thing for with the little
time taken up in practice acct
Tents can be avoided if there
| vas real danger.

New York, Nov. 5.-Charles Fran
els Murphy, leader of what was con-
sidered a month ago the best political
machine Tammany ever constructed,
has been recalled by the voters of
New York, and the Tigers face the
leanest four years in their history.
Tammany Hall lost not only con-
troll of the mayor of New York, when
it's candidate, Mccall, was over
whelmingly defeated by the Fusion
candidate Mitchell, who will be New
York's youngest mayor, but it lost the
comptroller; president of the board

Manhattan; president Bronx Bor-

ident Borough Queens; the board es-
innate passing upon administration
of city's finances, all Of above being
members; control board of aldermen;
control state assembly and all of the
important county offices in the coun-
ties comprising greater New York.

the question is how Tammany is to

what is popularity termed within the
ranks ''fat headedness," and the dis
trict leaders are already scanning the
horizon for a new chief"
The election of Sulzer at Albany as
assemblyman is also slap in the face
to Tammany. Sulzer was carried on
a wave of popular sentiment aroused
by his position as martyr" to the
Tammany corruption. He will not,
however, attain his ambition to be
speaker of the lower house when it
meets for organization. A regular
Republican will have that honor, the
Republicans having gained control.

! There was quite a contrast in
th" two men, that is God places

We repeat Cod gave the first

and access to every thing on the
face of the earth. re forbid them

placed in the garden and forbid
him one tree in that garden.
They could not be the same,

This the one man theory

there was but one man, we know
our readers will plainly see this

In conclusion of this Article

And God being Love, there is
no fear in this Love; for it reads
| There is no fear in love: but
perfect love casteth out fear: be-
cause fear hath torment. He that
feareth is net made perfect in
love" Il John. 4--16)
! By this we learn in connection
with what we have given above
on the battle in heaven. That
the God of Love is stronger
than the god of death, Please
read.
For the wages Of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord"
! Rom. ti-23.
I Also read,
so when this corruptible
shall have put on interruption

Immortality then shalt be
brought to pass the saying that
is written, Death is swallowed
up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting?
O grave where is thy victory?
Il Cor. 15-34--55)
This Grand victory will come
in a complete manner, when the
last enemy is destroyed. 1t
partly came in Christs Resur-
rectiOn, and will fully come at
his second appearing, Then
the war between the God of Love
and the god of the earth and
death will cease to he,
, There is a division in Love, as
we said this division started in
heaven. The God of the I'M,

So hoping all our Readers may
be benefited by our !abors, in
those two Articles already in

third; which will raise up the
ruins and build up the waste
places of many generations.
For we must repeat that Love
is stronger than death and is
made manifest in every thing
more than death.

CHURCH UNITY
IS POSTPONED
PTesbyteTians Will Probably Get
Together in 1914

Upon recommendation of the two
committees appointed by the United
Presbyterian church and the Presbyte-
rian church of the United States to
draft a basis of union of the two or
ganizations the general assemblies OF
both churches unanimously agreed to
postpone consideration of the proposed
basis until the convening OF the 1914
assemblies. Four branches of the
church are holding their conferences
in Atlanta, Ga.
DR.. John Timothy Stone, pastor of
the Fourth Presbyterian church OF
Chicago was elected moderator of the
Northern Presbyterian assembly to
succeed DR.. Mark A. Matthews OF
Seattle, Wash.
DR.. j. Sprole Lyons of Louisville
was elected moderator of the Southern
Presbyterian assembly to succeed Dr.
T. S. Clyce of Sherman, Tex. DR..
Lyons election came on the fourth
ballot, with 109 votes.
Rev. DR.. R. NJ. Russell, president OF
Westminster college, was the only
nominee for the office of moderator
of the United Presbyterian assembly.
Without a dissenting voice he was
elected and conducted to the chair
"The churches are derelict in their
duties in respect to the divorce evil.
The ministers are not keeping them
selves informed of the alarming stu
alton except in a general and casual
way" These were important con-
clusions in the report of the special
committee on Christian life and work
which was submitted to the Northern
Presbyterian assembly and it was
adopted.
Speaking of the rise and spread OF
various cults and creeds, another rep
resentative said that if the church had
been awake to its mission in the world
Christian Science never would have
obtained the foothold which it now
enjoys. More attention, it declares,
should have been paid to the efficacy
of prayer and the healing of the spirit
and the body by spiritual means.

DEEP MYSTERIES OF LIFE
II We Could Fathom Them Little
Would Be Left for Us to
Do Here.

If we could fathom llfe's mysteries
there would be little left for us to do
on earth. If we could understand
why the sun shines for some and the
shadows deepen for others there
would be no use to try to work out the
problem Of existence. 1t would be
solved for us beforehand and the
great questions which now quicken
our souls into being would never rise
to the surface. 1t is the mystery of
1t all, the uncertainty Of everything
save the existence of God, which
makes life such a wonder puzzle, a
puzzle to be picked out piece by piece
and fitted together in his own good
time. 1t is true that sometimes we
grow weary of our work. We find
the processes too slow to suit our i'm
patient desires and the results not al
together equal to our expectations, but
for all that we never lose our ambition
to correctly solve the problem as It is
presented to us for solution. We are
in this world to work out our destiny
and the means to this end are placed
within our reach from the very out
set, but 1t so happens that our very
humanity binds us at times to our
best interests, and we carelessly and
even wilfully pass by the very things
which would prove Of most service to
us. Because our inclinations lie in
other directions than those for which
by nature We seem best fitted we oft.
