PRAYERS
FOR PEACE IN
THE CHURCHES
blessed Is the PeaCemaker,"
Text Of Rev. Northrup's
Sermon, While Other Pas
tors Offer Prayers.

With nearly all of Europe en-
gagged in one of the bloodiest wars in
history, fervent prayers for peace
went up yesterday from nearly every
place of worship in the United States
imploring the Divine aid in bringing
to a speedy close the barbaric slaugh-
ter in the eastern hemisphere.
The response to the proclamation
of President Wilson that asked for
the observance of the day as Peace
Sunday" was nation wide and nearly
every church and religious body en-
bodied i'll its services some recogni-
tion of the Presidents request. In
church and chapel, mission halls and
synagogues, peace hymns were sung,
prayers for peace offered, peace SER
mons were delivered and in some of
the churches 1t was announced that
the offerings taken up were to be
turned over to the Red Cross So
ciety. A special solemnity was at
tached to the services since in many
instances kin of the worshippers were
engaged in strife upon the battle
fields of France, Germany, Austria
and Russia.
In the First Presbyterian church
Peace was the theme of the entire
days services, and they were both
beautiful and impressive as interces-
sion was made for the restoration of
Fellowship among nations and men.
The recessional hymn in the morning
was Peace ON Earth, Good Will to
Men, In the evening service feat
ure was the beautiful rendition of
the anthem Let Us Have Peace" by
Ramsay and Edith Crowen. This
hymn, based on the famed saying of
General Grant, has been dedicated to
former President William H. Taft.
In 8 sermon, in which he deplored
the cause and atrocities of war, Rev.
James Northrup, of the Presbyterian
church, said: According to DR.. Laid
law there are three kinds of people
with reference to peace-the peace
breakers, the peace-takers, and the
peace-makers. My text is: Blessed
are the peace-makers, for they shall
be called the sons of God'''
Peace-making is much more than
peace-taking. To make peace there
must be:
1. International understanding.
g. International agreement
8. International boycott of the
nations that go to war.
4. International strike on the, part
of the people who are ordered to
fight This means revolution of
our idea of patriotism.
5. An international police force
stronger than the army of any ma
ton.
= At st. Mary's R. c. church yester-
day, prayers for peace, prescribed for
the occasion by Bishop James Nc
Faul were offered at all masses.

London, Oct. 5:-That the Ger

southerly outer chain of Antwerp
defenses is believed certain here. The
Belgian declaration that 'all of the
forts are still intact" disregards, it
is believed here, the St. Catherine,
Wavre and Waelheim positions on
the extreme southern end of the line.
The fact that the Germans claim
that these forts have been covered
aud that the Beigians admit they
have "been forced to withdraw north

There Are Two
Different GermanyS

What intensifes the difficulty
of the German-American, writes
Oswald Garrison Willard, is that
there are two Germanys. One
is that of the kaiser and of the
military autocracy, those who
believe i'll the divine right of
rulers, in the mailed fist, in gov
eminent by aristocracy, in
might as against right, and have
taught the doctrine that peace
can only be assured if all the ma
tons be armed to the teeth. Its
adherents are those who see in
the Waffenrock another hat of
Gessler, before which the public
must bow. They uphold the
officers who cut down lame cob
blers or run through civilians at
some fancled insult, and applaud
those wearers of the uniform
who resort to the duel, long
since outlawed by the enlighten-
ed sentiment of the world.
These are the Germans who en-
trench in power the ennobled
and enriched classes; who are
without trust in the people and
are utterly opposed to any ex-
tension of democracy, relying
for aid upon a subservient-
bureaucracy; who support the
Prussian government in its re-
fusal to remove the inequalities
among voters within its elector-
ate,-against which 100000

actment of laws affecting their
most vital rights and interests,
can certainly be trusted to deal
with the question presented by
this proposed amendment.
THE constitution, sectionI, ar
ticle V, of which is sought to be
amended, was adopted many
years ago, and it's trainers evil
IDENTIFY did not foresee or contem-
plate the growth in population
and commercial interests that
have taken place in the years
since its adoption. The present
state of affairs is hindrance and
a drawback confronting those

the people of Florida and per-
sons seeking opportunities to in
vest their money in this State"

THE WHOLE NATION IS
GOING DRY"

AS Henry Nj. Hyde, writing in
the Chicago Tribune, says, there
is no more in teresting and re-
markable spectacle than the ire
mendous and nationwide fight
now going on between the sa-
loon and the anti-saloon forces in
this country.
Ten states have already voted
in favor of statewide prohibi-
ton. They are Maine, West Vir-
ginia, North Carolina. Kansas,
Tennessee, Georgia, Oklahoma,
Mississippi, North Dakota and
Virginia, the latter swinging into
the prohibition column only a
few weeks ago.
Politically six of these states
are uniformly democratic and
four are republican in their party
allegiance.
Furthermore, big fight is be-
ing made in California. Colorado,
Ohio, Oregon and Washington,
in each of which the issue is
statewide prohibition. In sew
eral other states fight is on in
many of their counties.
The time is not far distant
when nearly every state and
most of the counties will divorce
themselves from all responsible
itv for the use of alcohol as a
beverage-will have no further
partnership with the traffic.
In Illinois, a noted whiskey
state. ffty-one of its Io2 counties
already are without saloons. In
twelve of the remaining fifty-one
counties saloons are permitted in
only single township. OF a
total of 1890 townships in the
state but us are wet.
At the November election six
teen Illinois counties will vote
on the saloon question. Eight OF
them are now dry and eight OF
them are wet.
Nine out of twelve Kentucky
counties, which recently voted
on the saloon question, went dry
by large majorities. There are

now only fourteen wet counties

now only fourteen wet counties
left out of 100 in that state.
In Idaho the state conventions
Of the democratic, republican
and progressive parties all de-
clared in favor of state prohibi-
ton.
There are more saloons" it is
stated, "in the city of New York
than in all the states south Of
the Ohio river"
Saloons are most frequent and
the liquor interests the strongest
in large cities, and yet, in spite
of this fact, about 100000 of
the population of the United
States are now living in prohi-
bition districts.
AS indicative of the growing
sentiment on the subject, at
tention is called to the fact that
state conventions of the progress
sive party in Ohio, Maine, Idaho,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and
Michigan have declared in favor
of statewide prohibition.
Theodore Roosevelt, speaking
at Columbus, Ohio, and Bay
City, Michigan, denounced the
liquor traffic and urged voters to
stand in favor of prohibition.

Prussians protested last year on
a single day.
Incidently they are Of the type
that gives so much offense to
the rest of the world. They are
arrogant and supercillious and
frankly without faith in any,
thing save the power OF the
sword. 1t is they who have die
tated the foreign policy which
has made friends of practically
nobody. 1t is they who under
Bismarck's leadership originally
entered in 1882 the game of
taking the lands of backward
races, in which all their neigh
bors and we ourselves have in
dulged. 1t is they who give the
utterly false impression that all
Germany has been bent on con-
quering where it could. It is
they who make a large part of
the world forget that the Ger
mans are among the most low
able, useful and enlightened
people; that they are bound to
us by ties that ought to be indis-
soluble. Have they not en-
rlched our blood? Did thew not

Wants Legislature
To Fix Salaries
OF Judges

During an interview on the
proposed amendment to be offer
ed to the electors of the State
regarding the increase of courts
justices and judges over the
State next month, William A.
Hallawes, States attorney of the
Fourth judicial District, had the
following to say:
1T is to the interest of the
voters, and all Of the people of
the State of Florida, that the
proposed amendment to Section
I of Article V of the constitution
OF the State of Florida should be
adopted. This amendment will
be submitted to the electors Of
the State for approval or rejec-
ton at the general election to be
held in November next. This
proposed amendment after nam
ing the courts in which the judi
cal power of the State shall be
vested provides: The Legis-
lature may prescribe the COM
pensation of the justices and
judges of the several courts, but
no court heretofore established
under the constitution and laws
of Florida shall be abolished.
1t provides that the Legislature
may from time to time ordain
and establish other courts
Scarcity of Judges.
THE litigation before the
courts in Florida is today being
delayed because it is impossible
for the present number of judges
to promptly attend to the bust
ness before them, so great is its
volume. At times some of the
judges by reason of illness or dis
qualification are unable to pre-
side in certain causes. This
adds to the labors of the judges,
who each has more to do than
could be reasonably expected of
one man. People complain of
the laws delay This condi-
ton can be remedied only by the
adoption of the proposed amend
ment.
There is no class of public
servants so poorly compensated
as the judiciary. The Judges in
the State of Florida are holding
their positions at great personal
sacrifice. The volume of work
is increasing each year. 1t is as
important to the citizens of Flor
ida, moreover, to have sufficient
number of judges to decide their
cause promptly as it is to have
them decide rightly.
"The proposed amendment of
adopted will place it i nthe pow
er of the Legislature to reduce or
increase the salaries of the judi
ges of the several courts The

people of Florida look for the en-

ficials in these places have been doing
their best to land the thieves but with
limited supplies of munitions for the
search the police officers have not been
able to locate the men.
The plan proposed is a union of all
OF the cities and villages with view
OF common purse supplied with small
appropriations from the governing
boards of the various places inteios .sd.
This would make possible the employ
ment OF men expert in the chase of Just
TINS kind of crooks and it is thought
that II these men did not secure the
return OF the loot taken in the various
cities that their presence on the lob
would go long way to put an end to
the periodic raids now being made by
the gang and make property lot more
secure IN the cities. 1t is declared that
the plan is favored by the chief of DO
lice at Evanston and Chief Henry Bak-
er OF Racine has expressed his belief
that the plan would be of value.

lad attained his manhood. He learned
his trade as furniture polisher at the
old Wulf piano factory and he had
reached the head of his trade in Chi

to discuss plans to land the thieves
and if possible secure the return of
loot to the value of close to forty

to contribute not only support but also
money for the maintenance of such
an organization.
Most friendly relations now exist be-
tween all the police departments of the
cities, but it is certain that with per-
fected organization the relations would
be made much closer and that the
cities would be warned of their danger
from thieves and the cost of the search
for the crooks would be considerably
reduced.

PLAN CHRISTMAS GIVING,

The Kenosha Elks are going to make
the usual distribution of Christmas bas-
kets on the day before Christmas this
year and Edward G. Alleman, who is
chairman of the committee, is busy
collecting his list of names and his list
of supplies for the baskets. It is ex-
pected that as in former years the Elks
viii provide Christmas chee2 for at
least thirty-fve families. The baskets
this year will contain the usual Christ
rnas dinner and in addition there. will
be toys for the children and warm
clothing for the winter wear. This
feature of the charity work of the
Flks is one that appeals strongly to
all of the members of the order and it
is certain that there will be no let up
in the work this year on account of
ether holiday festivities.
