on, Lansing, Kas., were baptized in
the prison laundry. Thirteen of
the prisoners were women.-Ex.
There again it proves that the
women are the rock bottom founda-
ton of our Christian life, and that
without them our Christianity and
church organizations would fall to
pieces. In that institution the men
probably outnumber the women
more than ten to one, and the show
ing at that baptism does not appear
favorably for the men.
Our canine friends running at
large must be muzzled for the next
six months. There are other crea-
lures abroad that really need to be
muzzled, but there'd be an awful
howl if such thing were attempted.

anybody residing in our pleasant

zled. The above must have refer
ence to some of the members of
the country press.

more championships added to the

A daily tells us that grasshoppers
held up a train at Dodge City, Kas.
We have seen clodhoppers hold up
trains at flag stations, but never in
our experience have we seen such
stunt performed by grasshoppers.
Yet, withal, it is possible.-Prince-

Never heard Of 'grasshopper" be-
ing applied to holdup artist; but
probably tbs so. At any rate on
next holiday we will try to find out.
The rigor of discipline seems un-
desirable to many in the present
generation. They are unaware that
obedience is strengthening and
peace giving. A military regime,
with it's lronclad discipline, does not
break spirit. 1t makes men ready
for forced marches and to meet
death. If discipline hurt the human
spirit, then soldiers would never
win battles. Battles would be won
by mobs. Discipline does not d.
minish life. 1t enhances life, and so
confers sense of peace. Golfers.
There is no comment 10 be made
on the foregoing article, except that
the discipline we receive in this
prison will no doubt prove of great
benefit to us in after years if we
make up our minds to live up to it
and use it in the right direction.

Just as the vote In the Congress
sional election In Maine few weeks
ago attracted unusual attention, the
the recent vote In the Bird West vir-
ginia district where a member OF Con
gress was elected to succeed Hon.
John w. Davis, Democrat, who was
recently appointed Solicitor of the
United States, has again focused at.
tention OF those interested In political
developments.
In 1912, Mr., Wilson received 3d.
212 votes; Mr.. Taft 1902, while Col.
Roosevelt received 1S,2s7. With few
precincts still missing, which can
not change the result materially, the
vote this week gave Mr.. Medley,
publican, 10,3S2, and Mr.. Laughlin,
publican, 10, 1882, and Mr.. Laughlin.
Progressive, 3,72l.
While it Is apparent that the vote
was only about 60 per cent Of the
normal vote that is cast in this con-
gressional district, the most striking
feature of the election is the very
small Progressive vote and the APP
parent return to the Republican part
Of the rank and file of the Progress
sives.
