PRESS OPINIONS
PROS FOR OFFICE ONLY.

In nearly every state there are number of politicians who are active in behalf of prohibition. They do not work in the ranks, but are in- varlably asking for office. Their ad- vocacy of prohibition is frequently not as sincere as it should be. These prohibition candidates stand .pon one issue, that of statewide prohibi- tion. When urged to support the efforts being made to close unlicensed clubs they refuse to take this action. If the right to sell liquor in clubs is taken away there will soon be few clubs in existence. And in the clubs there is drinking and gambling, es- pecially on Sunday and on election | days, when licensed saloons are clos ed by law. It is in the aristocratic clubs that some of the worst political deals are concocted. MT. Mellen's testimony shows that the plundering of the New Haven railroad was plan 1 ned in a club. If the pro politicians are sincere, why do they oppose the inhibition of clubs where liquors are dispensed? These same pros-all candidates for office-announce their opposition to nationwide prohibition. 1 Now, if the HobsOn amendment passes, it will be unlawful to either
 manufacture or import intoxicating liquors. That would be prohibition which would prohibit. These gentle i men who are fighting for statewide prohibition and are opposing any
 laws which would make it impossi-
 ble to secure intoxicating liquors should be relegated to the ranks. What true temperance people want is the absolute wiping out of the liq-
 uOr traffic. The state rights argu-
 ment is too thin, because the men
 who oppose state rights when it
 would put liquor out of business ad-
 init the national governments rights to do many other things,

THE CHRISTMAS TOY TRADE.

The cutting off by the war of tho customary supply of toys bought yearly in Germany promises to make the Christmas tree look skinny this year. American toy makers will turn out very attractive substitutes, out considering the rates of wages in this country, many kinds of cheap toys cannot be produced here at the price our people expect to pay.
 They say that German families win sell little lambkins at F certs a dozen. These toys are largely made in the homes. A great many Q: the workers are farmers and their ialli- lies, who are satisfied with very lew wages if they can be kept busy through the winter. A family of five is said to average about 8 ct $3.5O a week.. 4g
 The popularity Of the Germ an toys is not wholly due to the low price. There is an element of romance and imagination in the German tempera- ment. They add little touches that charm both young and old. The lead CTS in the toy industry prefer to na e them made in the homes. They feel that thereby the workers have nor originality The toys do not look SC machine made as those from t'.e fac tories.
 The big fault in the German toys has been their fraigle quality. They seem built to make the children's eyes sparkle on Christmas eve. and then to dump in the ash barrel soon after. Or perhaps the German youngsters do not share the love- for smasillns 7 things that is So characteristic of the American child. The latter is not satisfied merely with looking at a plaything. He wants to operate all the various parts. but alas the toy was built for the eyes rather than the hand.
 The skill of these ill-paid German workmen is something marvellous The little ganies that tourists bring home are wonderfully like-like rep resentations of human traits. They sell for 50 cents each or whereabouts but it would not seem possible to carve one of them in less than a day

of the French, Belgian and English
 censors to boost the Germans except
 with torpedoes and powder mines.
 When we near from the Germans the
 American papers will print enough
 stories about German bravery and
 French brutality.
 The dispatches have enabled us to
 make shrewd general guess that the Germans have been getting none the worst of it in the fighting so far, because the French have twice warn ed the French public and the world not to expect decisive victory for France at the start. It has even been intimated that French arms might suffer a temporary reserve "in spots." As for definite information, there has been none from any source. Even the fact that great battle is being fought is largely conjecture. When it is fought we shall not Know the whole truth until it is possible to hear the facts from both sides, and then it will be necessary to make al- lowances for inaccuracies, both will full and unintentional, in the accounts of both sides. It is probable that we shall get the news when France and England get it, but not before.
 In previous wars the war corre- spondent has kept his paper inform ed as to the progress of events, and great newspapers and news agencies were able to score big news beats, but in this war the news agency and the individual newspaper will have 'ol depend on the same source of news and the special correspondent will cut no figure.

PUBLICITY.

Newspaper publicity has done more for the public good than any other one factor in the many that have enabled us to reach oar, pres cit stage. Newspaper publicity forced a dissoutioh ofstrusts; q"showed up'' the scheme and Escts Of "frenzied finance" brought about inquiries into and congratulations of railroad systems, especially the New Haven aud stood between the public and the finanoiers who woal draise rates to nav dividends of fictitious valuations.
 Newspaper publicity has disclosed graft, convicted grafters, brought about economies in public affairs and practically wrought the rout ol the Republican party and the crea- ton of the Progressive party 'n 1912. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest press agent in politics, was enabled to accomplish what might have been considered impossible but for newspaper publicity. In state. county and city affairs newspaper publicity has driven many crooked politicians to the wall and had their places filled by honest men. Publi- city is about as great 8 factor In enforcing some laws as are the courts, because there are men who would not hesitate to "take a chance" with the courts but for the fear of pubnci,y. In social life there are about as many who do right because of fear Of dis closure and consequent publicity as those who do right because Of consci- entious scrupies.
 Because publicity is the most powerful factors for good, the voters are urged to support ae> No. on September 15. By so doiug they will be helping themselves, for witls the publicity bill in force there will no longer be any mystery about public affairs and accounts. rveh honest men will be a bit more careful when they realize their acts are to undergo the scrutiny of the pc ,ple at time when the people reason calmly and judiciously, and are not swayed by eloquence of party ra-iisanship

The Gospel According to
 ST. LUKE.
CHAPTER 4.

l SIlAI I IIlI 1s
 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, ?. Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 3. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. f. And Jesus answered him, say ing, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
 ). And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is deliv- cred unto me; and to whomsoever will give it.
 2. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
 s. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
 9. And he brought him to Jeru- salem, and set him on pinnacle Of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast myself down from hence:
 10. For it is written, He shall give his angels charge oyer thee, to keep thee: :
 II. And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against stone.
 12. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
 13. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for season.
 IA. And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out fame of him through all the region round about.
 15 And he taught in their syna- gogues, being gloritied of all
 16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
 IF. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was writ ten,
 1S The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach delfverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
 19. To, preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
 20. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagoge were fastended on him. 21. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture full fielled in your ears. 22. And all bare him witness, and | wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

OUR VAR NEWS.

The war news published in the American newspapers is unsaticfac- tory. but it is all that can be obtain ed, and it is safe to say that it has the one merit of being uniform EX- cept for the news" published in the every ten-minute extras of some of the metropolitan yellow papers. all the news printed in American daily newspapers comes through the same channel. It is the rigidly censored matter from which all definite infor- nation has been edited.
 One feature of the war news is that the American public gets as much real news as the English and the French public. The censors are lm- partial in keeping the facts about the war out of the papers, because if valuable information of the movement Of troops reached the enemy from d friendly source it would do as much harm as it would do if it came from an unfriendly or a neutral country.
 The news we get is shown to be from English, French and Belgian sources because there is occasionally human interest" story about the desperate valor of Belgian soldier or the lofty patriotism of a French man, but nothing but stories of Ger , man brutality. There has been one tale of French soldier. single handed, surrounding" something like a dozen German soldiers and brinsine tAem into camp. This did not come fFeM Berlin ssp
 There are no stories of German vaior and seif-sacrifice. simply be-
 cause the Germans are not sendins out any news. It is not the bushes,

 As Described in 5@ THE NEW TESTAMENT | M Translated from the Original Creek

23. And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal myself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
 24. And he said, Verify I say un- to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
 23. But I tell you of truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when i great famine was throughout all the land;
 26. But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, city of Sidon, unto woman that was a :, widow.
 27. And many lepers were in Is- rael i'll the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
 2S. And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29. And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
 30. But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 31. And came down to Caperna- um, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
 32. And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
 33. And in the synagogue there was man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
 34. Saying, Let us alone; what have We to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to de- stroy us? I know thee who thou art :; the Holy One of God
 35. And Jesus rebuked him, say ing, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 36. And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What word is this for with author
  clean spirits, and they come out.
 37. And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about
 3S. And he arose out of the syna- gogue, and entered into Simon's S house. And Simons wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
 39. And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and min istered unto them. 4O Now when the sun was set ting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; .and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
 Al. And devils also came out of many, clying out, and saying, Thou are Christ the Sor of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was ! Christ.
 42. And when it was day, he de- parted and went into a desert place: and the people sought nim, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
 43. And he said unto them. I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent
