The ascension of Jesus from the
Bethany side of the Mount of Olives
was not an ascension of thought or
imagination; on the contrary, he
was carried to heaven. Again it is
said, When he assembled on high,
he led captivity captive and gave
gifts unto men," MIR. Newcomb, in
his popular astronomy says. The
number of stars visible with the
most powerful telescopes probably
falls short of fifty million. but to
take probable outside limit we
shall suppose that within the region
occupied by the furthest star which
the telescope will show there are
fifty million more so small that we
cannot see them, making one hun
bred million in ALL This wonder
full city of stars is the final abiding
place of the race.

created on plans and adapted to
the purpose of the Father. That

Sprinstin1e

q
In Spring the young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love and
the farmers fancy turns to thoughts
of spring pigs aud seed oats. Spring
is the time of promise. The weeds
have not yet started and the bugs
are still in their winter quarters.
The tools are sharp and ready, or
should be, and horses and men are
eager to commence writing the
seasons story on the blank page of
the rolling fields.
Those fields are full of possibilities
and the farmer entrusts his seed to
them with faith in what the harvest
will bring them. Right cheerfully
he contemplates the summer of toll
that is ahead, and his whistle rivals
the meadow lark'S as he bends his
sturdy shoulder to the task before
him. For this is springtime, when
hope runs high and the full is full
of promise. Prairie Farmer.

The natural history teacher was
working hard, but receiving rath-

The Doom Of Protection.

The theory of protection which
has ruled the United States since
the Republican party came into
control is doomed and its fate was
sealed when the income tax amend
ment was adopted and there is a
Democratic administration to put it
into force. The expenses of the
government had grown to such pro-
portions that large revenues were a
necessity and custom duties were
imposed, but the income tax will
provide a way that those duties
may be reduced at least hundred
million and the expenses of the
government will still be provided
for.
1t is slowly dawniDg on few of
the protection leaders that protec-
ton is as dead as slavery. 1t has
probably cost the people more to
destroy it than it cost to destroy
slavery, and the relief to the toilers
will be just as great. Protection
substituted for the chattel slave sys-
TEN the factory owner, the multl-
millionaire of the north. The effect
of both systems upon the toilers has
been practically the same. The
slaves owned no property. There

What He wanted to Know.

Johnny had been told to sit down
and study his lesson quietly. In a
few minutes his mother heard a
fretful voice exclaim:
Mother didn't you tell me~the
other day that God knows every
thing?"
why, of course, my son." she
answered.
Well" he responed obviously,
I've been waiting for ten minutes

north who have little if any more
property than the slaves had.
The burden of taxation under the
protective system has been always
laid upon the backs of the consum-
ers. In the end they paid it all and
not only the taxes, but enormous
tribute also to the privileged few
among the manufacturers, and there
was no way of escape. Now the
consumer will be relieved of $780,
100000 of taxes and four or five
times as much tribute to the man
ufacturer caused by the tariff, and
that money will come from the
wealthy who have heretofore escap-
ed their just share of the burdens
of government.
Without an income tax it would
have been impossible to do what
will now be done for the relief of
the people. The income tax is a
tax on what people have instead of
on what they must have at what
ever cost, if they were to live. An
income tax was the only method
by which a tariff for revenue could
finally be reached, and we have got
an income tax. St. Joseph OBJ

Judge Upton on Heaven.

has recently discovered among his
personal property an old clipping
from the Paragraph giving an arti-
Gle on the subject of Heaven"
written by the late Judge Thomas
F. Upton. He thinks it is interest
ing enough to be reprinted, and it
will be read with interest by the
many friends of the once well known
judge, who is now dead. The arti-
Gle, which was written in 1901, fol- :
lows:
The QUESTION, Where is Heav-
en?' and what constitutes it has
been asked many times. Theologi-
ans have discussed and philosophiz-
ed about it; photographers in a gen.
eral way and by glittering generali-
ties have undertaken to tell us what
it is, yet none have given a satisfac-
tory solution of these questions. l
will, therefore, attempt to give a
solution to these questions in such
manner that all can see the fullness
and simplicity of the solution.
That heaven has fixed locality
is clearly taught in the scriptures
and its location is really ascertain
ed from the scriptures in the light
of astronomy. We know by dem
onstration incontrovertible tina Il
there are two systems the planeta-
ry or solar system. and the stellar
or system of the stars; that between
these two worlds there is-between
the outer circle of the planetary
system and the outer circle of the
stellar system-a distance so ire
mendous that this earth appears
but a speck in space. The distance
from the earth to the nearest star
is so great that we cannot fully
comprehend or appreciate it, as we
can distances on the earth. That
these two systems are separate and
distinct there can be no cavil; that
these systems were not created
without a purpose.
The scriptures teach that the
planetary system, certainly our
earth, was created for the habita-
ton of men, and the stellar syste m,
or the stars, was created for the
habitation of God and the redeem
ed. In the light of science | believe
that many. if not all, of the plan
cts, either have been, are now, or
will be inhabited by intelligent be-
ings and responsible to God as we
are. and with a like hope of a future
life; that the celestial sphere is the
spirit world, the home of God, the
! abiding place of Jesus. That it is
the Celestial City, the house of God
prepared from the beginning for the
reception of the redeemed. It was
of this house of which Jesus spoke
when he said, In my Fathers
house are many mansions. If it
were not so would have told you,
for 90 to prepare place for you.

STEFANSSON LOSES HIS BOAT
EXPLORERS VESSEL CAUGHT IN
THE ICE AND CRUSHED.
Men All Escape, ApparentIy-Instru-
ments and Provisions All Lost,
is the Report.

Nome, Alaska, Dec. 1.-The power
schooner Mary Sachs, one of the boats
of Vilhjalmer Stefansson's Canadian
Arctic exploration expedition has been
wrecked in the ice off the Arctic
coast of Alaska. News of the loss of
the Mary Sachs was received here in
a letter from Peter Barnard, captain
of the vessel.
The ice crushed the vessel into bits
and all the provisions and scientific
instruments aboard were lost.
The letter gives no details of the
mishap. AS nothing is said of any
injury to the men on the Mary Sachs
it is believed all are safe, as they
could easily make their way over the
ice to shore. where they could obtain
shelter with the natives.
No word was received concerning
the Karluk and the Alaska.
History of Vessel.
Seattle, Wash.-The auxiliary boat,
Mary Sachs, was purchased at Nome
by Vilhjalmer Stefansson for use of
the southern party of the Canadian
expedition, which also has the power
schooner Alaska. DR.. r. M. Anderson,
commanding the southern party, is
aboard the Alaska, and Kenneth Chip
man, the Canadian %geologist, was
placed in command of the Mary Sachs.
The Mary Sachs vas a gasoline
schooner of $50 tons gross register.
She carried a crew of three men and
vas built at Benicia, CAL, in 1898.
The southern party was to have
made a scientific exploration of Vic
torialand and Banksland, while Stef-
ansson on the Karluk explored the un-
mapped region in Beaufort sea.

CONGRESS OPENS
REGULAR SESSION
CLARK AND MARSHALL CALL THE
HOUSE AND SENATE TO
ORDER.
MANY MEMBERS ARE ABSENT
Ambitious Program Is Laid Out for
the Nations Lawmakers, n
They May Be Busy Most of
Next Year.

Washington, Dec. AT the stroke
of moo today gavels sounded in SEN
ate and house signalling the opening
of the second, or first regular, session
OF the Sixty-Third congress.
The familiar figure of Speaker
Champ Clark was seen in the house
chamber. In the senate Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall called the senators TO
order. This was the first regular ses-
sion of congress in many years which
was ushered in under entirely Demo
cratic auspices-with Democrats in
control of the house and senate and
a Democratic executive in the White
House.
Galleries Well Filled.
AS is usual on such occasions, the
galleries were filled, there being a
brilliant display of millinery and win
ter fashions by women spectators.
The diplomatic galleries in both
houses were well filed, diplomats Of
South America and Central America
predominating in the attendance.
In the house the blind chaplain of
that body, Rev. Henry N. Couden, de-
livered the invocation, after which a
few new members were escorted to
the speakers desk to take the oath
Of office. This ceremony over the
house proceeded to uninteresting rou-
tine business. Routine business and
rency bill occupied the attention of
the senate.
Subjects They VIII Take Up.
Many members, who were detained
here during the summer and autumn
months, have not returned yet, some
declaring they would remain away I'M.
til after January /, so as to be at
home for the holiday season. They
think little important business will
be transacted until after the begin
ming of the new year.
Although the program had not been
definitely formulated, members look
forward to tackling one of the most
gress in a long time has attempted.
Here are some of the subjects of legis
lation that the new congress will take
up:
Final action on the currency bill.
Antitrust legislation.
Rural credits.
Naval program.
Passage of a dozen appropriation
bills.
Train safety and safety on the ocean.
Regulation of the shipping trust.
Final action on the reports of lobby
investigating committees.
The cost of living problem.
Legislation to protect women work.
ers.
River and harbor budget.
Legislation looking to the building
OF a government railroad in Alaska.
May Have to consider Mexico.
Another important matter which It
is believed will engage the attention
of congress, is discussion of the Mex
lean problem. However, this de-
ponds on the action of President VIII
Sol There will be no action relative
to Mexico, most members think, In
less the president gives it his ap-
proval.
