Plate then said. Behold the Man,
See Him whom you are trying to have
me put to death. he Is one of the no.
blest specimens Of humanity. Behold
the beautiful dignity of His character.
Whatever you have against Him, you
will feel placated when you see His

came to the root of the matter-that
Jesus had declared Himself to be the
Son Of God. an assertion which thew
considered blasphemy. This made ri.
late all the more afraid. He thought
again to release Jesus. But the Jews
persisted.
Finally PLATE yielded. saying in des.

WAR WEARY

The obligation that rests upon de-
cent newspapers to tell tho truth is
ever sacred and responsible one.
At no time should it be more honored
In observance than during tho contin-
uation Of the tragedy that is beins;
enacted upon the European continent.
A period like the present stiffens the
demand for veracity made by pub
lie that takes journalism seriously.
Right-minded people have wearied
OF the unending procession of tales
of horror, cruelty and destruction.
They are eager, even anxious, to ad-
dress themselves to the constructive
policies of peace. The distorted per-
spective presented them by many
newspapers gives them just offense.
The plain truth is, the reading pub
lie is sick and tired of the monotony
OF the war diet served up to them.
Yet how many sensational newspa.
pers disregard their duty to their
readers, and careless of their obliga-
ton, deliberately invent horrors fo-
the sole purpose of claiming suprem-
acy in the publication of exclusive
news.
Never in the history of the news
paper has there been such a demand
for truth; yet never in the history
or the newspaper has truth been
so carelessly handled
No wonder the reading public l.
weary of war news"
So are we.

Governor-elect Moses Alexander
Democrat, had 1858 more votes than
his nearest opponent, Governor John
M. Haines, Republican, at the gener-
al election held in this state this
month. The figures are unofficial but
they will be official when the state
board of canvassers meets next Tues
day to canvass the vote. Thirty-one

What good has the Progressive

OF the recent election. And, answer

Survey Of Results
A survey of the results of the
election Of this year and tho results
In 1912 confirm this opinion. At
the time Colonel Roosevelt undertook
to wreck the Republican party and
build up in its stead what no chose
to call the Progressive party, the pro-
gressive element was nearly strong
enough to dominate the Republican or
ganization and many of the old stand.

about to be retired. The Republican
party had made a great reputation for
progress; it had enacted scores of
progressive national measures and

the states had put through laws that

TREGO'S DUPLiClTY

1t is amusing to people who are
familiar with the manners and mo-
tives of Byrd Tregc to hear or sec
him posing as tax or any other
specimen of reformer, notwithstand-
ing most of such self-styled reform
ers are demagogues of the deepest
dye.
Although Mr.. Trego knows that
the county is paying less for its print
ing than it has heretofore, and only
about one-fifth of the price he is
charging the city for the same, class
of work, he is attempting to make
some people believe that every prin-
ter in Bingham county is a CRATER"
but himself. When he had mon
oply on the public printing on which
for years he waxcd fat and overbear-
ing, nothing was then too high for
him and he charged all the traffic
would bear. But now that others
are getting some of the public print
ing at reduced rates he is bowling
graft" not for the benefit of the
tax payer, but to satisfy his own
revenge and greed.
If some one would take the trou-
bic to dig up the printing prices
charged in the past by this for
mer printing monopolist, and what
he has cost the tax payers in court
expenses, they would discover that
he has cost them hundred of dollars
where he has saved them a cent,

These were serious charges. which
Plate was bound to consider, and
were totally different from those
brought against Jesus at the Sanhes
drin trial. Jesus made no defense: for
he knew that the time had come for
Him to die. He would not attempt to
turn aside that which He knew to be
a part Of the Divine Program for Him.
Jesus Before PLATE and Herod.
Another account tells that PLATE per-
ceived that the chief priests and the
Scribes were moved with envy in max
ing their charges. But be must not
appear to treat lightly the charges re-
specting another king than Caesar. He
therefore questioned Jesus; but receiv-
ing no reply. he went out to the Scribes
and Pharisees. who had refrained from
entering the Praetorium because the
Passover season had begun. After
hearing them. apparently he returned
and asked Jesus, Art Thou the King
Of the Jews?" Jesus inquired whether
the question was based upon Pilates
knowledge Of His teachings or wheth-
er upon the assertion of His enemies.
PLATE replied that the chief men Of
Jesus own nation had delivered Him,
and that he wished to know the cause
Of their opposition.
Jesus answered that His Kingdom
was not of this world-order of things.
He was not. therefore. in conflict with
Caesar. PLATE questioned Him little
further. and then went forth to the
Jews. to whom he said, II find no
crime in Him." The chief priests were
alarmed. They vehemently charged
that Jesus was stirring up the people;
and that. beginning away of in Gall.
lee. He had preached everywhere.
When PLATE heard this. he sent Je-
sus to Herod. king of Galilee. who was
at his palace in Jerusalem. Herod
had heard many things respecting Je-
sus. and was curious to see Him do
some miracle. Jesus made no reply to
the kings questions. The chief priests
and the Scribes accused Jesus violent

over. The multitude cheered him and
inquired whether he would release
some prisoner that year. Thinking to
get Jesus out Of the hands of the chief
priests. PLATE asked the people. Whom
will ye that release unto you. Ba.

who is called Christi" Incited by their
religious leaders. the multitude de-
manded the release of Barabbas.
PLATE demonstrated. declaring that
he found no cause of death in Jesus.

A REGULAR SAHARA

Durham, N. C.-The executive com
mittee Of the Anti-Saloon League OF
this state is preparing to introduce a
bill into the next legislature which
will make it a crime for any resident
of the state to have any sort of IL
quor in his possession or in his home.
1t will not be necessary to show that
the citizen attempted to give away
to his friends or to sell tho liquor.
The very fact that he has it in his
possession or in his home will be
sufficient to send him to the peniten-
tiary. Therefore the new bill viii,
be the most drastic evef offered for
passage. The present prohibition law
OF North Carolina is extreme in its
provisions, but there is said to be
more bootlegging in the state than
in any other dry state. 1t is in the
hope of destroying this bootleggins
and the keeping of blind tigers that
the Anti-Saloon League will work
hard for the passage Of the new bill.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Aug. Embarrassing be-
lief that the resumption of export
trade would be a slow process, had
a depressing influence today on the
wheat market. The Washington con-
ference, from which many bulls had
looked for immediate help regarding
shipments to Europe, served to rem
der more clear the fact that much
time at best would be required to
surmount difficulties Liverpool dis
patches, Indicating that no extreme
scarcity was imminent In Great Brit
ain, counted also on the side of lower
prices. After opening Y to 1% down,
values here underwent some addition
al declines.
Corn sagged with wheat. End of the
week selling by small longs formed
the principal feature The market
opened %Qh to Ia Off and showed
but little power to rally.
Talk of export sales appeared to
have lost effect in the oats crowd.
The cereal had no independent ac-
ton, and was governed chiefly by
corn.
Normal receipts of hogs caused pro-
visions to ease back. First transact

was a subsequent further drop.
