God to give them victory. but there Is

The minister's rennted words con-
tain more so-ca1led- patriotism than
they do real religion. SO far 81 has
been learned God never told any OF
the nations to go to war and there te
no evidence that the Almighty will
settle the war In any particular pow
|er's favor. No sane man believes that
God inspired any Of the nations to go
to war and among the nations He has
mo chosen people" The minister
himself admits that they are all ma
lions of the children of God.
This resort to blasphemy Is not TO
be condoned even though it is made
through patriotism that has led the
preacher to use religion to spur his
countrymen on to war with other
children of God" as he designates
them.

Ready for School.

| The season OF public school work is
near at hand once again, and as an
exchange asks, are your children
ready for the winters work in the
class room? Or have you given the
matter any thought at all2
Children go to school to learn. But
in order that they may receive the
mental cultivation and training and
get some real good out of 1t, it is
necessary that their bodies be in rea-
sonably good physical trim. A sound
mind must have a sound body in
which to dwell, we have been told, and
while that may not always be the
case, it is certain that a child to do
good work in school and make the
mental advancement it should must
be enjoying good health.
The summer vacation Is supposed to
provide the rest and necessary physi-
cal reinforcement necessary for the
child. But it is just as we'll to be
quite certain your child is In good
physical trim before you start him
back to school this week or next. 1t
is in the interests of your particular
child to know this and it is in the in
terests of all the children in the
school, for although one swallow does
not make a summer one child may
readily enough start an epidemic In
a school.
If you are not certain of the condi-
ton of your child yourself now at the
beginning OF the school year, call in
the family physician and let him look
over the child and make sure he is in
proper shape to take up his school
work again.

Democracx Has Done II.

The Intelligencer has already re-
ferred to the disastrous effects OF the
Underwood tariff applied to the sugar
industry. an industry which, IL it had
been properly protected, would have
made US Independent Of foreign coun-
tries for our sugar supply, says the
Wheeling Intelligencer. The evil OF
the Democratic tariff was never sc
conclusiyely demonstrated as in the
present instance, which finds us at a
great disadvantage and inconvenience
on account of the European war
which has shut off our foreign sup
plies. This was one of the industries
that was thriving and growing under
the encouraging influences of the Re
publican tariff policy. What happened
to it when the Underwood bill began
to operate on it? 1t didn't make sugar
cheaper, as was promised. On the
contrary, it raised the cost to the con-
sumer. In four months it caused a
loss OF revenue to the government
amounting to $S,640, eco. It was point
ed out in recent speech in the House
of Representatives that this loss OF
revenue could be sustained uncom-
plainingly if any benefits accrued to
the American consumers of the prod
uct. They didn't reap cents worth
On the contrary, 100000 was added
to the profits of the sugar refiners.

TELLS ABOUT
GAS TESTING
In a Circular lust Issued,
Which is of Very Great
Value.

WASHINGTON. D. Co., Sept. p
The Bureau of Standards. pApart-
lment of Comm cree, has just publish
ed a circular containing suggestions
as to location and equipment of gas
testing laboratories, description OF
some Of the accepted forms of appar-
latus, directions for the making or
ltions as to the Interpretation of ex-
detrimental results 1t does not dis
cuss the testing work necessary for
good works control: it deals rather
with methods which are intended Tor
use In city or state official testing or
in works laboratories which are
checked by city or state inspectors.
No Single Method.
No attempt is made to fix on a
single method to be used in every
case, for it is not believed that uni
fcvmity of method is always neces-
,sary in order that the results of tests
be considered standard. In each
case as much freedom in choice or
method is allowed as seems possible;
but the simplest procedure or appar-
atus with which satisfactory results
can be had is given preference. The
discussion is so arranged that an IN
experienced man may utilize the in
formation. but eSactness of descr1p-
,tion has not been sacrificed in the Ell
fort to simplify the directions.
The full discussion of the influence
of various conditions upon the results
of tests and the theoretical consider
alton such as would properly accom-
pany a publication of the results OF
a research are not given is the cir
icular. Such full discussion Will be
found in the various sources referred
to in the text.
Five Principal Subjects.
Not all the methods which are rec
commended have been investigated in
the laboratory of the Bureau but ev-
lery effort has been made to insure
that the use of such methods as
have not been used at the Bureau has
proved entirely satisfactory In the

4-Taking of gas. pressure records.
s5-Gas meter testing.
Full opera ting directions, including

cautions which must be observed, are
included under each heading.

The few who had it all figured out
that the oversee war was brought on
by race hatred have evidently arrived
at the conclusion that they were mis-
taken in view of the fact that they
are finding scarcely any scorrobora-
tion' of the theory. Among the latest
to deny It is no less a parsonage than
Sir Winston Churchill, first lord of
the British admiralty, who declares
that fhe-war was started and is being
maintained by the aPrussian military
aristocracy. which sets no limits to Its

Our Contest Managers.

Owing to press of work last week
we neglected to note the arrival in
our city Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. f. Curran,
of Spartansburg, S. C. They came to
manage our great automobile con
test, and have rooms at Mrs. John
Powell's. They have already won
their way into the hearts of large
number of our people, so that they
do not need any introduction from US.
They are delightful people. Mr.. Cur
ran is splendid young business man
and a perfect gentleman in every sense
of the word, while his wife is one Of
the most accomplished ladies ii has
been our pleasure to meet. Her sing

Churches last Sunday was greatly APP
preciated.
They will remain in our city fcr
some time, and We trust that they
stay will be both pleasant and pro-
fable.
