dence. IN spite of the courts decision
in his favor he was retired from the
service through the influence of anti
Dreyfus officials.
During his retirement Picquart, aid
ed by Emile Zola, continued his work
in behalf of man unjustly condemn
ed. He succeeded in having the case
brought before another court-martial
at Rennes. Dreyfus was again con-
victed, but later obtained a full par
don from President Loubet. The par
don did not satisfy Picquart and other
supporters of Dreyfus, who labored in
cessantly to have him officially de-
clared innocent.
They finally obtained this verdict
from the French supreme court, and
both Dreyfus and Picquart were re-
stored to the active list of the French
army. Picquart afterwards became
minister of war and commander of the
Second army corps.

MILLS FINDS
MILITIA Is IN
NEED OF LIFT

Washington, Jan. 19.-Conditions of
the organized militia of the country
on tbe-w whole are far from satisfactory.
according to Brigadier General Mills,
chief of the division of militia affairs
of the war department, in his annual
report. In his opinion the militia's
organization is top heavy, incomplete
and unbalanced, with its strength
much below on important items neces-
sary for field service and in training
is on the average far below the stan
dard required for efficiency in time of
need. Mills advocated enactment of
a militia pay law and strongly urges
federal and state cooperation.

ROGER SULLIVAN
Gets HOME BOOST
Cook County Democracy
Pledges Support in Campaign
for Seat in the Senate.

Chicago, H., Jan. 19.-Roger c. Sui
livan's candidacy for United States
senator received its first Endorsement
yesterday. The Cook county democra-
c. was the first organization to de-
clare for the former national commit
teeman. AT its regular meeting yes
terday afternoon it adopted resclu-
tions declaring for Sullivan. They had
been framed by a committee COM
posed of representatives OF eleven
nationalities.
Work in behalf of the Sullivan sena-
torial candidacy will begin downstate
at once Headquarters will probably be
opened in Springfield this week. In
Cook county the active work for the
former national committeeman will
probably not begin until after the al
dermanic primaries and elections as
his friends have no desire that his
candidacy shall be an issue in any OF
the a-dermanic contests.
For more than % years l have had
TO do with the political life of Illinois
and l am quite willing TO have any
act of mine, political or private, held
up to the light of day." says the Sui
livan announcement.
The big problem of today is how
TO secure the greatest measure of
comfort and happiness for our
neighbor as well as for our selves.
This focuses attention on the prob
lens at our doors-on the problems
OF the farm, the factory and the mine;
on how to have better homes, better
working conditions. better business
in other words. better
conditions for everybody based upon
that the welfare of the in
dividual everywhere is inseparably
interviewer with that of the COM
The everybody-for-himse
l-take-the-hindmost' policy has seen
its best days. Life in this country is
going TO be a fair free-for-all race.

into existing conditions. Like Lincoln

problems without flinching or shift

ownership of the sources of supply
and means of delivery to the places
of consumption.
81 do not claim any originality in
this thought; l believe it is concurred
in by large majority of the thinking
men of the country.
The wise corporation manager OF
today is prepared to meet the new
order of things.
THE limited experience we have
had in the regulation of interstate
railroad rates, railroad rebating and
the like has awakened the public con-
science, has created a wholesome re-
spect for the federal law and in the
end has been of great advantage TO all
concerned, even though at times
those Immediately involved have suf-
fered temporary embarrassment
Broader application OF like theories
is coming into our entire commercial
life as the way to abate commercial
piracy on the one hand or .confisca-
ton on the other.
These changes always find capital
timid and holding back. It's fears are
ofttimes fanciful. In Wisconsin, for
we find administration OF
the public utilities law giving equal
satisfaction TO public and investor.
Il have always favored direct pri-
maries and what influence have
heretofore had has always been ex-
erted fer the passage of direct pri-
mary laws.

 The word infinite does not occur in the Bible. but there are many phrases which give the same mean ing-this being one of them. The found fin all the creeds of Christen- dom- There are many great truths behind this belief.
 Infinite in Power.
 God is infinite in his unhounded power. He does not witch things that happen on thls earth merely as a spec tator. He taketh the earth in his he made the earth and the sun also. He said, let there be light. and the sun appeared. That transcendant ap- partition came at a word Power can go no further. But all this display of power does not seem to touch us very closely. We need to get nearer to God in some way. Patience That Is Infinite. Gods patience is infinite. At this very IlIII6 SOIIlG OI IllC pest HEEL III the world are intent on killing each other. Not only that, they are starv- ing the rest. They, are curtailing production. destroying resources and putting back the civilization which has been slowly building up during forty years God could put a stop to all this at once if he had made mer pupils. The forces of nature cannot but obey his laws.
 Watchino What Man Does. But God takes more pleasure in man who can answer him back ir righteousness than in the spheres that cannot choose but sing. He enjoys watching mans choice and seeing him use and misuse his free will. He has infinite patience in this expert ment of His. And what of the count less generations of men?
 Gift of Infinite Love.
 i, God is infinite in Ills love to them He loved the world so much that ht sent His only son. This gift of His son establishes the measure of Hi: love.

Gods love is beyond al those. He gave himself to us in { form that we could understand. Means Eternal Life.
 Rightly used, mans freedom mean: eternal life God owns man ever | though the world and the flesh have gained possession of him and God! infinite love makes 1t possible foI man to come back and rise ovel temptation Gods patience may some. times be misunderstood.
