In the interest Of the local option
campaign the seventeen churches that
co-operated in the Honeywell revival
project, by mutual agreement ex-
changed pastors for last evenings ser
vices. In all of the churches where
the exchange was granted the pre-
dominating theme was Temperance
the Saloon Shall Go From Richmond
In alluding to the local situation
the Rev. l.. c. Leonard, of the Central
Christian church, speaking at ST.
Paul's Lutheran church, said: Stand
by the newspaper which stands by us.
Grape juice kills more than grape
shot. We would rather wear the white
ribbon than the great nose. The sa-
loon kills ten thousand men and wom-
en- while the mad dog kills one, but
we shoot the mad dog and license the
saloon"
Or. Lyons Views.
There are three kinds Of people
who are responsible for the liquor
traffic. First, those who are engaged
in the same; second, those who vote
for it's retention, and third, those who
don't care which way it goes, that is,
those who take no stand in the con-
test" declared DR.. Lyons Of Reid Me-
mortal church, speaking at East Main
street Friends church.
"A large per cent of the divorces in
Wayne county in the past five years
were caused by drink declared the

union service in the First Christian
church, of the congregations of the
United Brethren and the First Chris
tian churches.
After an investigation at the court
house I found that the ratio in 1909
was one divorce to every seven mar

one to every six and five-sixths: 1911

show that the number granted was one
to every four licenses granted"
The Rev. Mr.. Murray. speaking at
the same service, quoted a number of
eminent men who declared the liquor

Comparing the modern temperance
man to the late General u. s. Grant,
the Rev. b. Earle Parker. of the First
NJ. E. church, preached at at the South
Eighth Street Friends church.
General Lee had an easy time
with the Union army in the insular
campaign until General Grant took
charge of affairs" said the Methodist
minister. but when Grant took the
lead he fought away undaunted by de-
feat, until finally the war closed with
a Union victory, and so 1t is with the
temperance fighters. Although they
may meet defeats in various cam
paigns. they are always back on their
feet ready to start a new campaign as
soon as possible"
Show CoIors, Says Gates.
Taking for his text "He that is not
for 1t is against It," the Rev. A. Gates
of Grace NJ. e. church, in his sermon
yesterday declared that every person
must take a stand, one way or the 9th
er in the local option fight.
Occasions arise when we must show
our colors," said he. I'VE must make
plain our allegiance, whatever the cost
and occasions in every life come UP
which afford no honorable escape
through silence or concealment. The
owner of the Item has taken the right
side, and therefore he deserves the
moral support of the people who seeR
to promote the public welfare"

Old Bows and Arrows.

TN these days of novel war weapons,
the bow and arrow is looked upon as
belonging to nothing nearer than the
middle ages. Yet it is only just 100
years ago that men fought with bows
and arrows over the present battle
ground around Namur in Belgium.
1t was in the last titanic struggle of
allied Europe against Napoleon l. All
the powers had combined to crush
him. and each brought to the task every
available man and means of warfare in
it's power. Russia. not the least among
these powers. brought into the conflict
hosts of men from the new-caught and
semi-barbarous tribes Of the Asiatic
steppes, Bokharans, Turkomans and Tar
tars. Among these many Of the regiments
were armed only with bows and arrows.
These men were poured across the
lower Rhine, and, side by side with the
Prussians, fought against the French
legions on the fields of southern Bel
GUM. They were clad. for the most
part, in skins and fought in just the
same manner in which their ancestors
had fought Alexander the Great more
than 800 years before Christ.
Despite their rude, armament these
bowmen, according to Jomini. the mill
tary historian, acquitted themselves
creditably against the French, who were
equipped with the latest firearms. 1t
was the last appearance of the bow and
arrow on Il European battlefield.

Cool Thoughts for Hot Men.
rom the New York Tribune

FROM the New ork IrlDuue-
Anybody can lead a charge in battle or
play polo with broken rib, but only
the few bravest men that ever lived can
be persuaded to wear a white suit of
clothes on the streets of New York.
1t is hotter than in many a tropical
city here for much of the summer. A
few miles away on beach or a tennis
court everybody wears light clothes as
a matter of course. But when the hour
htrkes for business. that freest and
boldest of all immortal souls. the Amir
can. swathes his person in dark. hot.
castings and fares forth to town, moist
muttering and miserable. In the recesses
of his sweltering heart a thought siz-
zIes-as in the embraces OF a hrelees
cooker-to the general effect that he is
a blithering idiot and a crazy lunkhead
to wear such clothes. And there, for
most of U.S. the matter hangs.
Each year however, few more
heroes come forward and with the heroes
stand. Spots of crash, duck and pongee
pass in steadily closer review. The other
day group of ambitious hotel men
formed a white clothes league. Mean
while, the soft collar gains converts and
helps along the general notion that COM
fort may be worth considering. Who
knows but that III a few more decades
ordinary towards like ourselves may
dare to burst upon the world In white!
