the Houghton lake reservation.

Washington.-A rehearing of the
case in volving the Michigan local OPP
ton law was denied by the supreme
court of the United States in the APP
peal brought by Carl E. Wertle, brew
er, in a Southern Michigan county.
When local option was carried in
that county Wertle declared that the
law was unconstitutional on the
grounds that his business was serious
ly affected and that no state could en-
act law which would prevent him
from manufacturing and selling his
own goods.
Decide Against Wertle.
The local circuit court decided
against Wertle in the first test suit
and the case was appealed TO the state
supreme court where another unfa-
vorable decision was given. At last
resort to test out the law the case
went before the highest court in the
land.
The decision means that the Michi-
gan local option law is ironclad. The
Michigan circuit courts had often so
held, but this is the first test in the
higher courts.
The law was passed in 1888 when
temperance agitation was at its
height in Michigan. Jonathan W..

G|NNED COTTON
 ARRIVES IN YUMA

A few short months ago, it was an event and attracted considerable at- tention when the first bale of cotton was picked in Yuma valley.
 Carl Young the valley cotton grower drove the first wagon load of ginned cotton through the streets of Yuma last night at about z o'clock. There were 12 bales in the load and they averaged 800 pounds each.
 When the cotton market is in nor nal condition, cotton of this kind will sell for 12 to 15 cents per pound It doesn't require very much imagina- tion to look forward to the time when Yuma will be sending out carloads of cotton to every point of the compass and receiving coin of the realm n exchange. Here is one industry that the world will depend on. We are using cotton in nearly everything we wear and the oil in the seed is used as food. People must wear clothing the law compels them and they must eat, and as long as there are people on earth so long will cotton be in demand.
 Every man that devotes his time to the raising of cotton and will try to learn from experience of others who have made this particular subject their life study, with our climate, which is especially adapted to the raising of cotton, cannot help but make Yuma valley the most prosperous valley in the world

Effect of War in China

Missionary Frank Rawlinson of Shanghai, China, writes: Tt occur red to me that you will naturally want to know how the war is affect ing us and our work. Like everybody else, we have been taken suddenly
 So far it is only affecting us in two ways. First, prices have gone up and second, the rate of exchange is fluctuating very much. So far it has not affected our work and affairs in Shanghai are outwardly going as good as usual. Of course, trade is bad and furthermore a good many people are being thrown out of employment.
 There does not seem at present any possibility of Shanghai getting out of the neutral zone So far the Chi nese are quiet. There seems to be no panic at all and we are hoping that the situation will continue as it is and indeed there does not seem to be much reason why it should not"

Rome in Times of War

Dr. B. M. ripple, president of the Methodist college in Rome, writes:
 "This terrible European war has been in progress but few weeks, and yet it's destructive effects on all the classes of society are already seen and felt The last battle to the north of us resulted in forty thousand dead and sixty thousand wounded.
 Italy is not nominally in the strug- gle, and yet she must necessarily bear part in it. One cannot be anywhere in Europe and escape from it's efforts. Moreover, Italy feels constrained to hold herself ready for any eventuality at any moment Thousands of her young men are under arms. Some of our Methodist ministers are already called. Numbers of our laymen are at the front Business is largely para lyzed Workmen are idle. Banks are calling in their loans. Money is not to be had
 People have begun to cry for bread, and some of these hungry ones are our own Methodists. Vesuvious is not active, another Messina has not been claimed by the sea, but disaster is here; stricken ones are at our own doors."

ROOSEVELT IN CHICAGO SPEECH
 GOES AFTER THE 0LD PARTIES

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Theodore Roosevelt bitterly attacked United States Senator Sherman, Republican candidate for reelection, and Roger O. Sullivan, Democratic candidate for United States Senator in a speech here last night, ending his two days visit to Illinois in favor of the candidacy of Raymond Robins and other pro- gressives. He diverted to the score of candidates for offices on the old party tickets in New York state.
 The old party candidates, he de- clared, were typical of bipartisan ma chine politics, and the fight in Illinois, as in New York, he said, was not one of party principle, but of simple civic honesty.
 Illinois progressives, with his ap- proval, Roosevelt said, had declined offers to enter a deal with Sherman for a junction with the Republicans .Lorimer republicans-by which Sherman and the progressive candi- date would have been chosen to the United States Senate in 1913 when finally Sherman and Colonel James Hamilton Lewis were elected.
 Colonel Roosevelt's speech was the climax of busy day, in which he was rushed by automobile at noon to Gary, Ind, to speak to the steel workers there in favor of A. J. Beverage, for mer United States Senator and now candidate for the senate from Indiana
 Colonel Roosevelt made the auto mobile trip clad in the big army coat

Appeal to Christian America


 w. F. Oldham sends this stirring appeal to Christian America:
 ''The scale on which the war in Europe is being conducted, with the suddenness and the ghastliness of it, has almost paralyzed the thinking of the church in America. And while the commercial world has been quick to see the possibilities Tor increase in trade, further development of home manufacture, the creation of an Amer ican marine, etc., the church does not seem yet to have recovered itself suf- f1ciently to project matters of much more vital concern to humanity and to concert plans for emphasizing in very marked and effective ways the fact that not Christianity, but the defective teachings of Christendom are on trial.
 "The militarism and jingoism which in high places have screened them selves behind a pseudo-patriotism are now seen in all the ugliness of their reality, and not as they appeared un- der the veneer of false pretense.
 Meanwhile the heather nations must be greatly perplexed, and the very honor of our God and the name of our Christ are for the time being in danger of being assailed by non- Christian apologists. The whole mis- sionary force needs to be heartened, strengthened and comforted, and the church at home, has before it the opportunity to serve our scattered brothers and sisters, and the young churches that have arisen under their hands in far lands in very notable ways.
 Now, while the trader seeks new trade, and the manufacturer new op- portunities, may we not confidently count upon the Christian church to come this day to the help of the Lord, against the mighty and to the help of the troubled peoples of the world, that the Gospel may sound in their ears all the more sweetly because of wars horrid alarms?"

Non-Partisan Platform

It is a condition that confronts us, not theory.
 Party is the madness of many, for the gain of a few.
 The elimination of partisan politics from the management of county af fairs is an end to be much desired.
 The wanton extravaganza of politi- cal parties is past endurance. The gross incompetence of officers domi- mated by state and national political machines are increasing the cost of living every day. Because of a row among the politicians the jail doors of Yuma county have been opened and the people denied protection. Criminals have been turned loose with out trial. Indictments brought by the grand jury upon complaints of the people have been ignored.
 The wheels of justice have been stopped Politicians drawing large salaries from the county have vacated their offices for months to engage in an internecine party primary. Instead of explaining the intent of the law to the public and attempting to up hold the law, every political subter- fuge was used, every inducement made to produce a sacrilege of the law.
 The Arizona Primary Law is the creation of Democratic legislature. It is an abomination to people.
 Under the political management of Yuma county for the past three years. the peoples money has been squan- dered. The county funds have been misappropriated. Misfeance in office was permitted until grand jury in- vestigation shook the organization to it's very foundation, and a partial cor rection was made.
 In a government like ours, founded by the people, managed by the people, non-partisanship should prevail Tn all local affairs.
 Particularly is this true in the pres ent campaign wherein the initiative and referendum law is invoked.
 Matters of state wide and local i'm portance are taken away from the politicians and are referred directly to the vote of the people.
 Believing in that part of our consti- tuition that gives to the people the right to initiate laws, we pledged our candidates to the strict enforcement and impartial application of all laws initiated and adopted by the people of the state. Especially do we pledge our candidates to the strict enforce ment of all laws, if they should be approved by the people at the coming election, known as moral laws, and laws extending protection and rights to labor.
 Increase in the high cost of living is the result of the increase in taxa ton.
 We direct the attention of the voters to the initiated measures proposing a bonded indebtedness of the state, the counties of which have to raise the money by taxation.
 There is nothing of more vital i'm portance to the taxpayers of the state at the present time, than the wo pro- posed constitutional amendments au- thorizing bond issues to the amount
