THE PROHIBITION AMEND.
MENT.

In passing upon the submission OF
the prohibition amendment to a vote
of the people the congress OF the Unit
ed States was in exactly the same po-
sitiOn as the Rock Island county board
OF supervisors was when il passed
upon the question of submitting a
proposition for bonds for highway i'm
prOvement TO the voters at the recent
fall election. In both cases II would
have been necessary for the people
themselves TO decide later.
Had the necessary twO-thirds Of the
members of the house and senate fav-
ored submitting the prohibition amend
ment il would have been placed be-
fore the people Of the various states
for their approval. This. in effect, per-
haps, would have precipitated a re-
newal of the battle for the control OF
the individual states, which has been
prosecuted with varying fortunes for
many years.
So far as the division in congress
upon the question is concerned il is
of little significance. for the real issue
turned not upon the views of the indi-
vidual members on prohibition, but
upon their conception of their duty to
their constituents, and of their ideas
as to the inherent rights of the Amer
lean people to pass upon all vital ques-
lions OF government.

a TRYING CHRISTMAS.

Fortunate as we in the United States
are, viewed from the standpoint of our
own affairs, the cataclysm involving
nearly all other civilized nations will
cast a shadow over the observance OF
Christmas here. With Canada on the
north sending its best blood into the
CORY fields of Europe and Mexico on
the south arrayed in hostile factions
engaged in desperate civil strife, war
is brought to our very borders.
Probably never in modern times has
the world approached the anniversary
Of the birth of Christ in a spirit so at
variance with the teachings of the
Saviour. 1t is a time which not only
tries mems souls, but tests their faith
in the sufficiency OF the foundations
upon which civilization has been build
ed.
In such a crisis all we can do is to
hold fact to our faith and ideals and
live in the hope that both will have
been vindicated ere another Christ
mas comes.

WEAKNESS OF THE NAVY.

Admiral FisIle. testifying before the
+ house committee on naval affairs.
T seems 10 have put his finger on a weak
spot in the American navy, or at least
the weak spot in the American plan.
He declares that the American navy
has been built up in a "haphazard
way and that this, and not the lack
OF funds or lack OF ships, is the first
thiug 10 be remedied.
The United States Is spending more
money on its navy each year than
any other nation with the exception
OF England. The sum appropriated for
naval purposes last year was as great
as that spent by both Germany and
Austria on their fleets, and nearly as
great as that spent by France and
italy on their nayies. Yet. in spite OF
this. men IN position 10 know declare
that, although the American navy is
numerically as large as any except
Great BTi,ain's. - IS really much weak
or than the nayies Of other powers
whose ships are fewer. This much has
been brought out in the testimony OF
other men before the house committee
Investigating the blatant charges made
by Representative Gardner Of Massa-
chusetts, but out OF all the political
wrangle that has held the attention Of
the whole country. Admiral Fishes
criticism seems 20 be the only thing
worth while which the inquiry has de-
yeloped.
Admiral Fiske asserts that the Unit.
ed States navy has no governing
board. but that the navy department. I

All the suppositories, cones, pyra
mids, pills, ointments. liquids and APP
pIiances on the market, it matters not
what they are or what they claim &c
do, are absolutely inert so far as the
permanent relief of hemorrhoids is
concerned. Anyone who knows what
a hemorrhoid or pile is, knows that II
can't be cured by medical means.
When a vein once becomes dilated
enlarged and weakened il will never
regain its normal condition. at least
it will never be persuaded to regain
its normal condition under any rem
edy known today. When we find a
medicinal or other remedy which will
restore varicose veins in the legs TO
normal. then we will have found a
complete cure for piles too. But we
believe no one dares claim to cure
variccse veins in the sense of restor-
ing them TO their original competent
condition. That plenty of sharks do
claim TO cure" piles by medicinal
means merely proves the truth of Bar
NUNS famous epigram.
The intelligent use of local remedies
IS a comfort for many a sufferer with
piles. The most important indication
TO be met in an attack of hemorrhoid-
al infiammation-an attack of piles"
is to relieve the irritability and
spasmodic contraction of the sphincter
or purse-string muscle. This muscle
Is an obstacle in the treatment of all
rectal troubles. and the physician may
find il advisable to prescribe bella
donna in ointment or suppository for
the purpose OF relaxing the spasmodic
sphincter. thus relieving the pain con-
Opiates and astringents are incor-
porated in pile remedies. and some
times antiseptics. But the chief thing
TO do for an attack Of piles is. take
large dose OF salts. TO reduce the pres
sure OF blood in the portal veins and
indirectly reduce the congestion OF the
hemorrhoidal vein. Also get OF the
feet. and il possible elevate the hips.

Second the Motion.

The statistician has figured it up
that the average church service in the
United States costs about two dollars
for each person who attends. This
may be rather a radical figure.
But we'll take the figure for the sake
of argument.
Lots of people gladly pay two dol
lars for a seat in theatre-and many
of these same folks go to the theatre
more often than they go to church.
Yet in the church, when the deacons
pass the plate, they feel content to
express their appreciation by drop
ping in a nickel or dime.
Religion is free, of course; but it
costs money-big heaps of money-to
run a church nowadays.
So, if you go to church at alas of
course you should-be sport. Chip
in something worth while when the
box comes 'round.-Clinton Advertiser.

How much truth there may be to
Admiral Fiske's deduction is problem
atical. but, observes the Dubuque Tel
egraph-Herald, bearing in mind the
tremendous rush there was at the
time OF the Spanish war in 1898, to
transform trans Atlantic steamers in
TO transports. merchant ships into col
Tiers and supply ships and private
yachts into cruisers and scout ships,
II would seem that the Admiral has
basis for his claims. Apparently the
Issue before congress now is not
whether II shall appropriate a hun
dred million dollars to build two or
four battleships OF six or eight sub
marines, but the upbuilding Of a mod
ern, scientific navy, all whose parts
shall be perfectly correlated. under a
carefully considered and prepared
plan, instead Of the haphazard method
which has obtained in the past.
America is entitled to know not only
that # is getting a dollars worth for
every one of these S14O,00O,0O0 spent
on the navy. but it is getting a dol

! The National Geographic society to
! day gave out descriptions OF the great
Russian oil port of Batum. which the

the scene of the great eastern cam
paign between Russian and Austro-
German forces.
"Squatting on a marshy plain, with

Baku. and the foremost city upon the
eastern shore of the Black sea. II is
a place of 10000 inhabitants. alive
with the snap of western business and
filled with the color of eastern peo-
pies. 1t has just three things to please
the fancy: Alexander park, on Lake
Nurie, at its eastern boundary; a cath
edral completed in 1906: and a straight
palm-fringed boulevard along the sea.
'Batum is about eight miles from
the Turkish frontier in Asia Minor.
Russia conquered it from Turkey, and
the congress of Berlin. in 1878. con-
firmed the conquest. In awarding Ba-
tum to Russia, il was stipulated that
the port should not be made into a
naval base, but the city is now a
strongly fortified station. In 1911. fol-
lowing the collapse of the ancient
quay. extensive harbor works were I'M
dertaken. with the result that Batum
has been made one of the safest, best
equipped harbors on the Black sea.

mentioned. under various names, from
early antiquity. The Russians have
been the first TO endeavor to launch il
upon a career. Though still highly
unsuccessful from a sanitary stand
point, IL has a modern model city's
ground plan. the streets being the
shortest ways between two points
and most OF the city's squares having
sharp right angles. Modern conven-
fences, however. have been lost sight

fort and of peace! Oh, rank disease
that rustles around my joints and
muscles, whose tortures seldom cease!
You rack mortal's system, you take
