Hence, they say, il you will

many indulgences. Now the
idea is with us, that if we are ali.

This is not the true meaning,
while it does lead millions to
conmi5 sins yet this is not just
the intended meaning,
Hence, we shall not in this ar

that this means the privilege

time Of the forgiveness of the

those indu!gences is one way to-

Then they say, indulgences is
not a pardon for SINS because a
sin must be remitted before an
Indulgence can be granted; And

is set forth not as a. pardon TO-.

Q what u lying wonder ia such
q doctrine as this, set forth by
the beast. Just think for one
moment Of the baseneSs Of such
d thing, that IS that the blessed
virgin would come down from
the paradise OF God, and make
Him and His Word out liar, by !
placing in the hand of one Simon
Stock. two little pieces OF brown
wooden cloth, as a token Of it's
trutnfulness. How does it sound
to say, there is WOODEN cloths in
heaven, When God tells Us there
| is nothing OF such a nature there
nothing that fadcth away or that
gets OLD.
But this is not all that they
the priests say, they say all who
wear those two little pieces Of
WOODEN cloth. after they are
blessed by the'priest, shall OK.
perience the efficacy of the inter-
cession of the blessed virgin,
and should by it escape the
flames OF hell.
| Reader, think how false it is to
say there is wooden cloth in
heaven, or that the virgin, Mary
could carry you across the flames
of bell, when Christ died for that
purpose Himself. These anti
Christs can tell you these things
inorder to get the dollars, or
make merchandise Of you.
The Bible teaches you that
they are false, and come from
the beast: And inorder to see
if we are right or not, we shall
, Investigate their doctrine more
r closely.
f Therefore after Mary promis
: ed these things, we find she
could not grant them, until the
priest would pronounce a bless
2 ing upon the scapular, or some
other article, as we have pre-
9 vious.y named (page 10 in Mission

PARENT-TEAcHER ASSOCIATION
The Franklin Circle Loses Money on
School Lunches, But Will En-.
deavor to Continue

The Franklin School Parent Teach
ers Association held an interesting
and busy session at their regular
meeting in the Franklin school yes
terday afternoon. The committee in
charge reported the noon lunch was
daily patronized by from 100 to $50
pupils at a charge of five cents for
each lunch, this covers the cost of
the food but not the entire cost of
preparation and serving, the loss be-
ing about one dollar per day. Princi-
pal Mcclure was certain the clean
and wholesome lunch was a benefit
to many of the children and should
be continued if possible.
The committee reported they had
sufficient funds on hand to keep it
in operation until January and will
make an effort to raise more money
and keep it in operation.

Warburton's Challenge to johnson.

The challenge of Stanton Warbur-
ton, progressive candidate for con-
gress, to Congressman Johnson for a
joint discussion of the record of each
during thteir term in congress, is not
to be dismissed by the Aberdeen
World as useless and the statement
that either side would pack the hall
with hoodlums. The challenge, dated
October 81, was to debate the question
at issue in the five largest cities
in the district, from all of which the
World is publishing glowing accounts
Of Johnson's strength and popularity,
so that he Should worry" about the
packed houses.
The Herald knows of no better
method of getting any public question
before the public than an open discus
sion pro and con, and to decline this
proposition Of Candidate Warburton
can be taken only as a wekness of
Johnsons position. AS republican
candidate Mr.. Johnson would have
the precedent of the famous joint
debate between the immortal Lincoln
and Stephen A. Douglas for the sena.
torial toga from Illinsos.
If Mr.. Johnson's record is as sat
isfactory to the district as he and his
supporters claim, he has certainly
missed golden opportunity when he
declined to meet Mr.. Warburton.

Initiative MEASURES DISCUSSED
Hon. Dudley G. Wooten Discusses
Initiative Measures Last Night
to a Big Audience

The auditorium of the Grand the
alter was filled, and a good number
in the balcony last night, to hear the
address of Hon. Dudley G. Wooten.
of Seattle, discuss the initiative and
referendum measures. Mr.. Wooten is
a clear, forcible and eloquent speak
wrapt attention for two hours, while
he reviewed the various pieces of
legislation the people are called up
on to enact at the elections next
Tuesday.
He briefly referred to the principle
of the initiative, saying it was a dan
gerous method of law making, and adj
vocated voting no upon each measure
submitted. Contrary to general ex-
pectations, he made but brief refer
ence to the prohibition measure, sim.
ply placing it with all the others that
should be voted down.
The audience was composed in large
part of workingmen, and he explain
ed the injurious effect sure to follow
the measures directly affecting labor,
viz, the abolition of employment
agencies; the first aid bill; convict
road building law, and the universal
eight-hour law. He showed conclusive
ly the utter impossibility Of legislat-
ing against the employers without In
juring the employees, and plead for a
careful study on all the measures be
fore voting on them.

This is the most important issue in
the campaign, and such vote of con-
fidence in the President can come only
through the election of Democratic
house of representatives.
1t is unfortunate that President
placed in the position that Mr.. Wilson
has been placed by circumstances is
obliged to make his appeal for public

sanship; but there is no other method

We do not pretend that Democratic
congressman are wiser or more honest
or more patriotic than Republican con
gressmen, or that they are actuated
by loftier ambition to serve the coun-
try We do not pretend that Demo
cratic candidates on the whole are
than their Republican opponents. But
we do believe that Mr.. Wilson has
proved himself one of the great Presi
dents in American history, and that
his administration has marked new
era in American politics. We believe
also that he is entitled to a congress
that is in avowed sympathy with his
principles and policies of government
and we believe especially that he de-
serves the unyielding support of the
American people in this great world
crisis. That support can come only
through the triumph of the Democratic
party in the fall elections.
A Democratic defeat would be the
defeat of President Wilson. 1t would
be so interpreted throughout the world
Such a defeat would greatly weaken
the Presidents influence abroad. II
would likewise impair the power OF

comes for the restoration of peace
Issues of vital Importance to civiliza
ton are in the Presidents hands but
these issues will be torn from his
hands unless the American people
prove that his ideals are theil
ideals and that his purposes are
their purposes. A President of the
United States who had been repudiated
at the polls could not be expected tc

In this campaign President Wilson
represents much more than the Demo

itself. He is today the most command

Extent Of German Ambition.

1t is puzzling to try to find out
how pervasive and complete has been
the obsession in Germany that the
German people were providentially
ordained to drive back Russia, crush
out France, break up the British EN-
pire, annex Holland and Belgium and
dominate the world. That these un-
bridled dreams of empire have pos
sessed the minds of many, If not all,
of the military leaders of Germany,
and that many historians. phIloso-
piers and men of science and culture
have been apostles of this so-called
"pan-German" cult, is undeniable. But
it. seems impossible to believe that
the great mass of excellent German
folks had been seriously infected with
this madness. Opinion has become
so strongly convinced, in England and
France, that Germany has really in
tended and deliberately planned to
annex the Low Countries and to crush
and Germanize France, with view
to the conquest of England, that the
very suggestion of ending this devast-
ating war fills men with alarm, be-
cause they feel that Germany must be
crushed before life can be worth liv-
ing for any other people in Europe.
They are saying emphatically that
Germany must be reduced to the po-
sition of a second-class power as a
result of the present war. AS a mat
ter of fact, this war ought to result
in the end of the military system,
which includes the British navy as
we'll as the German army. The Ger.
man people cannot be reduced to a
low place in the world unless they
are nearly all murdered, or unless
they cease to apply their splendid en-
ergy to the training of all their chill
dren and TO the social and economic
advance mont OF their communities
