 When President Wilson sought to arrange for the purchase of foreign ships and their transfer to American register, it was England which ob- iected. Now it is against the acts of the British navy that this govern ment feels called upon to insure vessels owned in this country and which will carry cargoes of non-con- traband products of this country.
 One may be Indispensable, only finally to make strenuous objection. Even the worm will turn. Rabbits have been known to fight. This is hardly the time for the British peo- pie to seek trouble with this coun- try. There can be but one cause for the actions of the British and the Japs-the growing belief that the "watchful waiting," grape-juice, peace before everything" policy may cause the administration to continue in the future as it has in the past concede the points raised or beg for further time, on promise to correct the matter to which objection is made
 Nobody in this country wants war, nor is thre any necessity for this country to have trouble with any other country.a As with an individual, however, there is such a thing IS having too much showed onto" him. The meekest man may be the most courageous, yet he takes much impo- sition for the sake of peace. Eventu- ally the time comes, however, when he calmly advises his persecutor that tire limit has been reached, and in most cases, the persecutor seeks new fields and new game. Uncle Sam might with success, issue a state- ment of like effect to those countries which are playing the part of bully" with the probable result that num-. Der of questions now causing some concern would be wiped off the inter national diplomatic slate.

The Epistle of Paul to the
 R OM A N S.
CHAPTER 15.

CHAPTER 15. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. ?. Let every one of us please hli neighbor for his good to edification. 3. For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
 4. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patti ence and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
 ,. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likemind- ed one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
 6. That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 z. Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
 8. Now I say that Jesus Christ was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
 g. And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
 10. And again saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
 ii. And again, Praise tine Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
 12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
 IS. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that ye may abound in hope. through the power of the Holy Ghost.
 IA. And I myself also am persuad- ed of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to abmonish one another.
 15. Nevertheless, brethren, 1 have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
 16. That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, min istering the gospel of God, that the offering up to the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

:, ONE PROSPERITY EGG.

Statistics are being printed show ing that the railroad rate problem is bound up with the general business situation more than with the railroad situation. This probably is true, be- cause we have sneaking suspicion that when railroads are doing well. general business also does well, but when the roads are parsimonious, a lot of folks are forced to follow suit.
 It is shown that little more than 9 cents out of every lollar going to the railroads goes to provide divi- Gends and surplus, and to keep them up to date.
 Of this sum, 44O5 cents goes to lobar direct; S.64 cents goes for fuel and oil, which is 70 per cent labor 14.46 cents go for material and sup plies, which are largely bound up in Tabor; and ALA cents so in taxes. These items total over 71 cents. eff there is to be any error made respecting railroad rates it should be on the side of liberalty rather than on tha tof parsimony,' says one writer for the roads.

The Dawn of Christianity
 As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

17. I have therefore whereof may glory through Jesus Cirlst Ill those things which pertain to God. 1S For I will not dare to speak o' any of those things which Christ nalh not wrought by me, to make the Gen tiles obedient, by word and deed, 19. Through mighty signs ana wonders, by the power of the Splrlt of God: so that from Jerusalem, ana round about unto Illyricum, l nave fully preached the gospel of Christ.
 2O Yea, so have stirred to preach the gospel, not where Christ waa named, lest I should build upon another mans foundations:
 21 But as it is written, ID whom he was not spoken Of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
 22. For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
 23. But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come un- to you;
 "A. When soever I take my jour ney into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey. and to be brought on my way thither- ward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
 25. But now | go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
 26. For it hath pleased them of Tn o1, tn ,ol tain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem
 27. It hath pleased them verify: and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partak- CTS of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carna' things.
 2S. When therefore I have per formed this. and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
 29. And I am sure that. when come unto you. I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Chi ist.
 30. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake and for tie love Of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
 31. That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which 1 have fer Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
 32. That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
 9955. Now the God of peace be with you all Amen.

WHAT'S TO BECUME
  OF THE BELGIANS?
This Is Problem That Is Puzzling Authorities ef England and
 Belgium.

London, Dec. 1.-The question of the repatriation of the Belgian refu- gees in England has been under con- sideration during the last few days. There has been a certain division on this subject in the Belgian cabinet it. self, one view being that the people should be sent back to the big cities like Antwerp and ordinary conner cial life resumed.
 There are others who hold the view that if the people do return it is im- possible that commercial and busi- ness life can resume it's normal courses under present circumstances, and moreover, that it would be ex- tremely undesirable to have the ruin- ed cities and villages repopulated at present, as they are likely to suffer greatly when once again they become the scene of sanguinary fighting, as the allies advance to drive the Ger mans out of Belgium. This is the predominant view of Belgian minis ters and municipal authorities.

WHY2

rho cranhic is not we'll versed III international law, hence it can aoihi' its inability to understand why con press should enact special laws, that the government may insure merchant vessels flying the American flag anu carrying on-contraband cargoes to European ports.
 Ships owned in the United States properly registered with the federal authorities, and flying the American flag. are certainly non-combatants. Admitted that for some years to come tho greater part of the crews oper- ating these ships will be men Of fore- ign birth, the fact that they arc regularly signed up according to the laws of this country should make them, to all intents and purposes. non -combatants The countries now at war have agreed that cotton is non -contraband of war; Why, then, should it be necessary for the United States to adopt laws whereby it might insure these vessels and their car goes?
 There has been one feature of the present war in Europe. which has caused considerable feeling among the people in this country, that fea- trre being the practice of British warships to stop American vessels on the high seas, search them. and often to take them as prizes of war, pending an examination before the British admiralty courts. No one properly can challenge the right of ary of the belligerent nations to cap ture vessel flying the flag of another belligerent nation. No ques- tion can be raised over the capture os neutral vessel carrying a cargo of contraband. But the American peo- pie hardly will continue to remain silent while the British naval vessels continue to interfere with the peace full pursuits of American vessels.
 The impressment of American sail CTS into the British navy brought on the war of 1S12. There appears but a short step between the present ac- tions of the British navy and the practices of the earlier 1S0O's. Eng lands ally. Japan. has selected this moment to press claims against this country, in the California and .Ari- zona alien ownership matters. Eng land itself is pressing such claims, Since the start of the war, public opiiion in this country has favored England and her allies. There has been noticeable change, however,

TALKS ON THRIFT. WHO CAN AFFORD AN
 AUTOMOBILE?

Pride is oftentimes the parent
 of extravaganza. Men and wo-
 men shrink from apearing less
 prosperous than their neighbors.
 Net only will they spend for
 their backs what ought to have
 gone into their stomachs, but
 they will too re-dily make some
 body else fooot the bill-that is,
 they will buy what they cannot
 pay for, thus ROBBING some
 body else."-B. c. Forbes.
 It is probably true that the ir- creasing use of automobiles lessens the savings of the nation. Not only because amounts which otherwise were set aside as sayings are now being used in buying and maintaain- ing automobiles, but also because many a sum is actually withdrawn from banks for that purpose.
 A financial writer&ays: "I think the automob1le craze is usiag up a lot of money that would otherwise be in savings banks for investments. A savings bank president told me he had recently had four different de- positors withdraw their money to purchase automobiles, while another informed me that he had three such cases recently, and one party bor- rowed money to buy an automobile and mortgaged l.ar place." The re- deeming feature of the situation lies in the fact that the automobile is gradually passing fro ma luxury to vehicle absolutely necessary. es. pecially in the country, to move about and do business.
 Nebraska heads the list of state in the number of automobiles per car;' ! -one for every twenty-five people Eiah.y per cent. of these are owneJ by farmers.
 With some people the real question 1 is, can they afford not to have the car? Many farmer spends three 0" 1 four hours twice week driving to town. He could save the cost of an automobile in the value of his owa time.
 The lack of the most ordinary me- chanical skill makes the automobile an extravaganza for many persons. When people live on farms and in viz lages, they become familiar wi.n tools. They could easily perform all ordinary repairs on an automobil, ,
 As they move into larger cities an( acquire more social pretensions, they cal in the carpenter when the door knob gets out of order They woult be helpless over the slightest irregu larity of an automobile. They mus depend on the tender mercies of tn garage keeper and the repair man.
 It is a very different proposition for the man whose business runs ir mechanical lines, or who keeps ul the habit of working with tools. The automobile carefully tended on hii home place is probably cheaper than a horse.
 After all, it is matter for the in divdual to decide whether he ough1 to invest in an automobile now }, wait till he has accomplished littl, more in the way of laying aside some permanent capital but it ought to bt given serious consideration from every viewpoint.

We suspect that lot of news papers are indulging in the Belgian charity business in order to aid their business office. If they were as solicitous of the poor in our own na- tion, the downtrodden soon would get better footing in life. But distance lends entertainment to the work.

London, June 3.-Savage attacks with hatchets were made today by young and stylishly gowned suffragette on an at tendant at the Doore Gallerie, who tried to prevent her from destroying valuable pictures there on exhibition.
 The woman already had ruined two paintings in the gallery, which is in the heart of the fashionable quarter of Lon- don, and was hacking a third when an attendant seized her arm.
 She turned on the man furiously and rained succession of blows on his body severely injuring him.
 Other attendants overpowered her. She kicked and screamed until she was turned over to the police
 One letter was left in the gallery by the attendants assailant. In this she as- serts militants heretofore hnve been too ladylike in their activities" She says:
 'To stop this, you must give us justice. We are willing to die for 1t before we give in. We have tried all other ways We have been too ladylike in the past. Now we are going to fight and you can allow us to be killed. Others will take our places. I have joined in the war of the Amaxone'

 JUDICIAL REFORM
Important Question Will Come Before State Bar
 Association In July

Montgomery, June 3-(Special.)-One of the most important questions which will come before the State Bar association when it meets here on July 10, will be the subject of judicial reform. which has been agitated in Alabama for the past three years.
 The judicial reform commission, which was appointed by the governor three years ago, will turn over to the bar association all data in its possession and the members of the bar are expected to take some action on the various recom- mendations and suggestions It is more than probable that the bar association will compile the various data into the form of report to be presented before the legislature, with the recommendation that favorable action be taken by the states lawmakers.
 The judicial commission was appointed by the governor shortly after he assumed office as chief executive. Judge John Pelham, associate member of the court of appeals, was made chairman of the com mission.
 Judge Pelham has collected consider able data which will be of aid to the bar association and legislature In providing system Of judicial reform, and he will turn all these papers over to the bar as sociation.
