GOAL OF A MILLION DOLLARS.
How GideOns Have Supplied 225,OOU
Hotel Rooms With Bibles.
(Rihlica1 Recorder

In the hotels of the United States
and Canada there are more than two
million guest rooms. To supply every
one of these rooms with a good copy
of the Holy Scriptures is the laudable
ard monumental undertaking assum.
ed five years ago by the 'Gideons, y
who had been organized about a de-
cade ''for the purpose of carrying the
Gospel to the vast army of CONNER
cial travellers of the United States"
They felt that not only would hotel
vice be lessened by the very presence
Of the Word of God in each room-a
fact that has gloriously proven true
but also that these rooms which are
the only homes of the 100000 Com
rercia1 Travellers of America for
three-fourths of their time should be
Illuminated by the Bible for their
guidance. A late circular announces
that over 225,O00 hotel rooms have
been supplied with Bibles and that so
much voluntary work is done that
only two salaried officers are employ
ed by the, organization. Nevertheless,
much money is required to furnish
and place the Bibles and hence the
slogan-"One Million Dollars for Gid
con Work." May the goal be reach
ed!

THERE is NJ MANIPULATION.

The suggestion, by anybody, that
any individual or newspaper in this
section thinks Democrats should make
nominations through the manipula-
ton of party laws is not justified bg
facts or past experience. None Other
than perfectly legitimate methods in
the selection of candidates have ever
been employed in the western coun-
ties. The Democrats of our noun
tain countries have been making their
nominations under laws outlined in the
Democratic Plan of Organization,
open and above board, with no effort
TO disregard the will of the people.
livery man has had voice in the pre-
c!nct meetings, who desired to be
heard. Our mountain people put
themselves on record long ago for fair
and honest elections and still adhere
to this position. In some of the coun-
ties the primary method of selecting
candidates has been inaugurated; in
others the convention, or mass-meet-
ing plan prevails. The party has sur
vived admirably under existing con-
ditions and there appears to be no
reason for change, especially one
which contemplates involving the
counties in a general scheme dicta-
ted by the State. The democratic peo-
PIE of this section, feel that they are
capable of directing their own affairs
and prefer to be left alone.

that no boss ever wanted a primary.

Senator Simmons adds a word OF
approval to the action of the Demo
cratic State convention touching the
subject of legalized primary. He
believes any county should be ex-
empted which objects to being in
volved in a general primary scheme
Even Governor Craig, who recon-
mended the enactment of a primary
law in his message to the General AS
sembly, has openly declared that the
bill offered during the session should
not have been adopted. Of course the
Legislature is "body unto itself
and has the power to pass law to its
own liking. But there appears to be
no reason why it should depart from
the course outlined by the Democratic
convention relatives to the question
of primaries.

Washington Should Be Model for

Henry Bruere.
LAUDS DISTRICT GOVERNMENT

Washington is the only city in
America that is the common possession
of all Americans declared Henry
Bruere, chamberlain of the city of New
York, in his address on ''Washington's
Leadership in Municipal Government" +"
before the Monday Evening Club at the
Public Library last night. District Com
missioner Newman presided during the
general discussion that followed Mr..
Bruere's talk.
What is done in the District of Co.
lumbia is done very largely in the name
of the people of the United States" said
Mr.. Bruere. ''Inasmuch of the problems
of municipal government are occupying
a very large part of the thought OF the
American people, as every metropolitan
newspaper will prove. Washington has a
peculiar opportunity to influence the
government os every city of the country.
IF the Department of Agriculture had
under its Jurisdiction a great farm 1t
would seize The opportunity to make II
pre-eminent in the efficiency of its man

standard-maker for every industrial es-
tablishment i'm the nation. So the Presi-
dent of the United States and Congress
have under their control one of the most
vital organizations of civilization, a city

1T is a matter of congratulation that
the government of the District is now

To remove wrinkles massage little of

The starved tissues respond to this treat
ment and assume their correct proper
