STRONG PLEA FOR
HIGHER VISION ="
Before Presbyterian General
Assembly.
Before
MEETING IN KANSAS CITY.
Rev. j. 5. Lyon Delivers Strong
Sermon ut the Opening Session
of the Body

Kansas City, Mo-, May 21.-De-
claring that delegations of discon-
tented people will keep on coming
to the churches to disturb worship
until after a while they will be ar
rested by the message they hear in
stead of by the police" Rev. ]. S.
Lyons, OF Louisville. Ky, in the mod
orators sermon before the Presby-
terian General Assembly here today
made a strong plea for higher vision
He spoke from the text Where there
is no vision the people perish" "It
the church." he said, lis equal to the
opportunity of today, many who
make malicious assaults upon it will
find themselves breaking into the
kingdom of Heaven"
DR.. Lyons said that the church
can well afford to invest every energy
in a mighty campaign for an effective
evangelistic forward movement.
What is the vision today?" he
/
we see the same dark shadows which
appeared in all the prophetic visions
of the past. We behold contending
forces in all the varied forms of
and strife. Moreover we see the
world growing more and more weary
Of its problem with many hopeful
evidences that it is coming TO realize
that the problem requires for its
solution more than the elements of
education and culture and moral in
fluence, Philosophers, statesmen,
scientific commissions, social better
ment enterprises are pathetically
trying to unravel the mystery of hui
man misery and sin"
The church, he declared, has long
proclaimed that it has the remedy
for all the ills of life and the world
is turning to the church with a new
willingness to know what the remedy
is"
Men and brethren" Dr. Lyons
said, bear with me while voice the
conviction: That the Christians OF
the apostolic age, who swept through
the world with the blood of Christ
and the fire of the Holy Ghost, had
an experience and an equipment
which is sorely lacking in the church
, today.
THAT an ever increasing multi
p tude of our membership is studying
anew the charter of the Holy Scrip
tufes with the purpose of gettins
back to the simplicity and power o.
the early church.
THAT their hearts are stirring ant
burning within them, so that the!

The "an round" average man was best fitted to
live under such conditions. He had to be some
thing Of business man, something Of q lawyer,
something Of q politician something Of farmer
in turn. Every business was simple and easily
learned and practically the one requirement for
success was q good disposition and willingness
to take hold wherever needed
In that stage of development, the average
man was the efficient man and came to be ac-
copied as the standard man. All were Of about
one grade of skill and shared almost equally in
producing the goods of life and since they shared
in producing those goods, it was natural they
should want to share in the enjoyment of them.
With these ideas in control, the Jacksonian
Democrats found the conditions in Washington
intolerable Men were in place there who had
held office for decades Long experience had
given the mexpert skill and expert skill had won
them good remuneration. The Democrats de-
nounced all this as bureaucracy and proceeded to
institute the spells system The essence of the
spoils system land it, by the way, was mere
political accident but an integral part of the
Democratic philosophy is that any ordinary
man is capable of filling any public office.
Jefferson fastened upon Democracy the doc
trine of states rights: jackson mbued it with
the belief that the average man is the ideal man,
fit to hold any position. These political dogmas
became the very essence and stuff of which the
Democratic party is made. All it's loyal men,
bers are suspicious of efficient national or
ganization and jealous of the civil service To
their notion, the spoils of office constitute the
political patrimony of all citizens and each should
have an opportunity, at least once in his life, of
sharing in the spoils.
1t is this which constitutes the sinews and
marrows of the party in control of the fortunes
of the republic in our day, day in which the
truly great and pressing problems are national in
scope and crying for solution by central govern
ment whose powers are equal to it's responsible
ties. Can anyone doubt that there are but two
alternatives possible to the Democratic party
either that it must fail to accomplish the task
of national reorganization or that it must change
its very substance in order to succeed?

ITCHING ECZEMA
is DRIED RIGHT
UP WITH SULPHUR
Use Like Cold Cream to Subdue ir-
ritation and Clear the Skin.

Constant or intermittent irritation
producing itching and red, angry &c
zema patches on the skin is readily
relieved with bold-sulphur cream.
The moment IL is applied the itching
stops and the healing begins, says a
noted dermatologist.
II effects such prompt relief. even
in aggravated Eczema that IL is
never-ending source of amazement to
physicians.
For many years bold-sulphur cream
has occupied a secure position in the
treatment of cutaneous eruptions by
reason OF its cooling, parasite-destroy-
ing properties. Ii is not only para
siticidal but also antipuritic and anti
septic and nothing has ever been
found to take it's place in overcoming
irritable and innammatory affections
of the skin. While not always estab-
fishing a permanent cure, yet in every
instance il instantly stops the ago
nizing itching: subdues the irritation
and heals the inf1amed raw skin right
up and it is often years later before
any Eczema eruption again appears.
Those troubled should get from any
pharmacist an ounce of bold-eulphur
| cream and apply it directly upon the
affected skin like you would any ordi-
| nary cold cream. II isn't unpleasant
and the prompt relief afforded is very
| welcome, particularly when the Ec-
| zema is accompanied with itcftag.

The Democratic Party: Its Essence

1t was in Jefferson the Democratic Party
found it's first great exponent and it has been in
Jeffersonanism, as Senator Owens said in his
indianapolis speech, that Democracy chiefly con-
sists. AS suggested in editorial yesterday,
the very essence of this political philosophy IS
suspicion of the federal government and a
strange antagonism to national efficiency.
That jefferson entertained a hearty dislike
of anything smackng of federal power is re-
vealed by his own words Incorporated in a private
letter: MY general plan would be to make the
states one as to everything connected with
foreign nations and several as to everything
purely domestic
Thus, in his view, the sole function of the
central government was to be responsible for the
country's international affairs. In his eye, the
nation consisted of collection of individuals
fundamentally alike in their abilities and deserts
In order that they should enjoy equal opportuni-
ty, the federal government should keep hands
Off"
Andrew Jackson, who stands only next to
jefferson as Democracys great leader, inherited
these ideas for the most part, but added to them
what has aptly been described the Hypothesis
of the average man..
Jackson represented the western Democrats
who were free of much of the bigotry of the New
Englanders. Among those frontier states, con-
ditions changed swiftly. Opportunities abound
ed and there was little need of specialized skill

SOW GARDEN SEEDS
IN STRAIGHT ROWS
Expert Gardeners Give Advice
to Small Truckster to Pro-
duce Best Yield from Their
Soil.
SOIL PREPARATIO ION
Well-ROtted Manure and

WASHINGTON. April 23-Garden
seeds should always be sown in
straight rows regardless of where the
planting is made. BY planting in
: this manner the seedlings will be more
uniform in size and shape, and thin
ming and cultivating will be more cas-
lily accomplished. In the control of
insects and diseases that infect gar.
den crops it is often possible to &C.
complish great amount of good by
careful sanitary arrangement Some
of the vegetables among the garden
varieties that are comparatively cas-
lily cultivated are artichoke, aspara-
gus, beans, beets, Brussels sprouts,
| cantaloupe, carrot, cauliflower, Gu
| cumber, sweet corn, cress, eggplant,
endive. potatoes, lettuce. okra, spin
ach. parsnip, peas, pepper, squash and
onions.
For growing certain crops, it has
often been found advisable to prepare
the ground in special manner. Such
crops as beets, radishes and onions
are sometimes grown on beds 6 to 10
feet in width and raised to inches,
with narrow walks between. From
Baltimore southwark, cabbage, cauli-
flower and similar crops are frequent
| ly grown on top or on the sides Of
ridges When the plants are set on
| top of the ridge better drainage for
the roots is secured. When set on
the south side of the ridge. greater
warmth and earlier maturity will be
secured, and when planted on the
north side, the growth is retarded.
For growing celery and few similar
crops it has been found advisable to
place the plants in burrows or slight
i trenches in order that the soil remov-
ed may be available for working in
around the plants as they mature,
Soil Preparation.
In the broadcast sense the entire
garden is a seed bed, as the seeds Of
many of the crops are planted where
! they are to grow. AS the term seed
bed" is used here it refers to some
specially prepared place for starting
plants, from which they may be trans
planted to their permanent positions
in the garden. The location of an out
! door seed bed should be such that it
may be conveniently reached for wat
tering, and it should be naturally pro-
! tected from drying winds.
| Good soil for seed bed consists of
one part of well-rotted manure, two
parts of good garden loan or rotted
sOds and one part of sharp, fine sand.
The manure should be thoroughly rot
ted. but it should not have been ex-
posed to the weather and the strength
leached out of it. The addition of leaf
mold or peat will tend to make the
soil better adapted for seed-bed pur-
poses. Mix all the ingredients togeth-
err in heap, stirring we'll with SHOW
ell, after which the soil should be sift-
ed and placed in boxes or in the bee
ready for sowing the seed.

the State Board of Accounts. The re-
ports cover a period extending from
May l. 1912, to December 81. 1913
The investigation was made by depu-
ties Ulysses Jordan and Loring Bun
dy.
In 1913, the report shows difference
es of only S16.77 between the cash
book showing and the cash in the
drawer. These errors were discov-
cred and rectified,
The report shows that last year the
operating revenue of the plant was
S94.633.6S and the incorporating reve-
nue. S103,211.31. Total disbursements
amounted to S1S0942S9 and the cash
balance at the end of the year was
s46OO74.
1t is further shown that the inven-
tory of the plant, October II, 1913,
showed plant valuation of 1921, 149.-

Il The Home Beauty ParlOr
~ Sy 6efku Dean

Vera B.: Your skin will grow soft,
clear and smooth after few applica-
tons Of a plain almozoin jelly-cream,
made at home as follows: Put 4 ia
blespoonfuls glycerine into Il pint
water and in this dissolve 1 ounce al
! mozoin (Which you can buy at your
druggist's). Apply thick coat of this
to the skin before retiring, then wash
off in the morning and use more of
the jelly-cream for massaging. This
gradually dispels the wrinkles and
heads and the muddy" oily look. The
almozoin jelly-cream is greaseless and
will not grow hair
Mrs. A. r.: You may not require
glasses. Get from your druggist /
ounce crystos and dissolve in l pint
water. Then put a few drops in the
offending eye several times a day I'M
til inflammation and soreness have
vanished. This crystos eye-tonic is
especially good for granulated eye
lids and using it strengthens the eyes
and gives them a youthful sparkle.
Adeline: The reason for that dry
ness of hair after your shampoo is
because that kind of soap irritates
the scalp's tissues and makes them
over-sensitive. Canthrox will correct
this, for it is tonic as well as a
cleanser and is SO stimulating to the
blood-vessels and scalp-tissues that
the danger Is entirely eliminated. To
prepare your shampoo, dissolve a tea
spoonful of canthrox in a cup of hot
water, then pour 1t slowly on the
head as you rub briskly. This dis
solves every trace Of dust, dandruff
and excess oil, and after rinsing, the
hair will dry quickly and evenly.
