Attitude On Voting.
No one thing about the church II more
interesting and unusual than Its attitude
on the question Of voting.
I'VE take no part in politics." Dr..
Wylie says. ''up to the point where. there
Is some immoral obligation required Of
US. We vote on Constitutional amend
ments and on the liquor question. We
do not vote for candidates for State and
Federal Offices. because these men, II
elected, are bound by their oath Of Of
fee to enforce laws which we believe i'm
moral. The position Of our church is
very similar to that of DR.. A. A. Hodge.
of the Presbyterian Church. who said: Il
refused to vote under q Constitution of
a government which declines to recog-
nize the authority Of Jesus Christ
''Or. to use another illustration. our
position is analogous to that Of Wendell
Phillips, who gave up a lucrative law
practice because he was unwilling to
practice law under a Constitution which
recognized negro slavery. The Constitu-
ton Of the United States fails to recog-
nize Christ as q supreme ruler. and.
therefore, we do not vote for candidates
for ONCE.
Lack of Patrfotism.
There Is no one point upon which the
position OF the Covenanter Church has
been more misunderstood than upon this
Of voting. We have been accused of lack
of patriotism. an accusation which is un-
just. Perhaps larger proportion of

Commodities, Bought by Measure,
Show Wide Variations.
Washington.-Pur of supplies
by weight instead of by the bushel has
been recommended to the commissions
ers of the District of Columbia by W.
G. Haskell, superintendent of weights
and measures, as being more just to
householders in the purchase of food
products. The commissioners are be-
lieved to be favorably inclined toward
the change
The proposed reform is of more than
local Importance for the reason that
it probably would affect many states
which ship supplies to Washington
Superintendent Haskell declared that
for instance, turnips, when sold by
the bushel. show Il variation of from
forty-two to sixty pounds a bushel
according to the state in which they
are Grated. and. similarly. coarse salt
ranges from fifty to eighty-tive pounds
dried peaches from twenty-eight to
forty pounds. and other commodities
disclose similar striking variations.
II the reform is adopted here num-
Der of producing communities will be
compelled to observe it. and this OBJ
servance, it is believed. will compel
other cities to follow the example OF
the national capital.

Ter is still cconomiZing. While playing
golf with some friends in the early
spring one said:
'Mr Rockefeller. why don't you buy
about 400 sheep and let them feed on
your lawns, and in that way you would
save the cost of cutting the grass, and
besides the sheep would keep it in con-
dition always?"
How much would they cost?" he
asked.
About So each, making an expendi.
ture of about $2,4OO," said the friend.
"Oh, that's too much" answered Mr..
Rockefeller.
The idea did not drop with Mr.. Rock
efeller, however, and he went home
and started to figure the cost of his bic
motor lawn mowers and the cost of the
sheep and found out that his friends
suggestion was an economical one, so
he placed an order for 400 Southdown
sheep. The other day the last load was
taken to Pocantico Hills by automo-
bile, and the sheep now are eating their
I'LL of grass on Mr.. Rockefeller's estate.

that militancy itself IL still alive was
again made evident by the destruction
OF one Of Sir William II. Lovers coun.

to the fact that the house which was

PRESCOTT. WIS.

Sunday was one of the most impor-
tant days in the history of the local
parish of the Catholic church and
those who came to Prescott, as we'll as
those from Prescott who were present
at the dedication, ordination and con-
f1rmation exercises at st. Joseph's
Catholic church, will never forget the
happenings of the day. Rarely does
it occur that Pensioners have the
privilege Of attending an ordination in
their home parish and still rarer, it
is said, is the combination of the three
special services such as were held at
Prescott on Sunday.
The events of the day brought many
visitors. it being estimated that there
were from 500 to 1000 strangers in
Prescott on Sunday. The visiting
priests, sisters and students were num-
erous. as were Catholics from other
parishes. The band Of st. Joseph's so.
ciety played before and after services
in the morning. Five sisters from the
Holy Family convent at Manitowoc
sang at the various services.
