THE POSITIVE WORD.

There is a world OF power. Of cour-
age, OF confidence and certainty in
Pres Wilson's declaration. I'VE know
what we are doing" other men might
have said Something should be done"
OF We are doing the best we can ac-
cording 10 our lights" but the country
would not have responded.
The country would have waited TO
see II some thing would be done or to
be sure that what was being done "ac-
cording TO our lights" was the result
OF intelligent understanding or guess
work. But when Pres Wilson says
1--WE know what we are doing and
purpose 70 do it" there is something
tangible TO tie to. something substan-
tial 10 stand upon, and that is what
business has been waiting for-the
Punishment OF uncertainty. the restor-
alton OF certainty 10 its rightful place
with its attendants of confidence and
hope.
There is nothing equivocal in Pres.
Wilson's latest statements regarding
his governmental policies. He is posi-
tive Antitrust legislation will not be
postponed, he says. He does not pro-
pose TO afford another opportunity for
a long period OF agitation and doubt.
rs in the matter of the tariff and that
OF the currency business is to know
what IL may depend upon and adjust
ment will quickly follow. On this he
bases the assurance that "as a matter
OF fact the signs of a strong business
revival are becoming more and more
evident from day 10 day"
Further warrant for this statement
is found in prevailing sentiment among
close observers of conditions. One of
these, whose opinion in financial and
commercial affairs is highly valued.
recently expressed 10 the writer the
belief that the worst is over and that
if crops hold up to anything like the
estimates there will be a steady if not
rapid Improvement. There is every
reason for such a revival in the tenn
per of the people and in the prosper
Gus condition of the basic business of
the country. agriculture.
Besides. the last excuse for COM
plant and retrenchment from the rail
roads rs TO be removed by the granting
of a reasonable increase in freight
rates. This means business for the
steel mills and the revival OF another
basic industry.

SCREENS FOR AUTO LIGHTS.

Owners of automobiles, in common
with the public, and perhaps more
approximately. are awakening to the
necessity OF screening headlights as
a measure OF safety. 1t sounds para
doxical that the light which makes
plain the road at night is an element
OF danger. but such is the fact
The powerful lights now used on
the larger cars are so dazzlingly bril-
liant that they almost blind the eyes
Of approaching drivers and render
passing on a narrow country road
quite hazardous. On city streets the
automobile driver with these lights
blIrring his vision is in constant fear
OF striking pedestrians at crossings.
The peculiar thing about il is that the
brilliant rays add nothing essential to
the efficiency of the lights. With the
use of screens the rays can be neutral
lied without serious diminution Of the
light thrown upon the road or street.
Some automobile owners are using
ground glass screens. Others have
not attached them to their cars with
the expectation that with the rapid ad-
vance in automobile equipment some
thing better than the screens now in
use would be devised. 1t is hardly
safe, however 10 wait. It would be
better economy TO renew the screens
on car a number OF times than 10
have one collision or 20 strike one
pedestrian.
The city has an ordinance requiring
the powerful lights on interurban and
street cars to be screened within the
city limits for the same reasons as
those mentioned. but we believe there
is no legal requirement. applying to
automobiles. Perhaps there should
be. Though most owners Of cars
realize the Importance Of screens as a
safety precaution all are slow 10 use
them and some might continue indefi-
nitely TO utilize the safeguard.

with Nick Carriers dangerous exploits
and heroic captures, but it would have
been infinitely better for Mr.. Gafill
and the police department as well. ,
We suggest to Chief Kerr that along
with his vindication Of Chief Kuespert,
he take his officers TO one side and
give them little lecture on the rights
of citizens. They may not always find
their victims as good natured as Mr..
Gafill, and there is a remedy in the
courts for false Imprisonment even by
police officers.
Suspicion must be well grounded TO
stand that test. Otherwise the tax
payers may some day have to pay
heavily to someone for police biunders.
OF course, the city might be able TO
fall back upon an officers bonds 10 re-
imburse itself-but that would hardly
be fair if the chief is instructing his
men, or indicating them, in having
the law outstretched.

No person can really explain the Won
derful process; it is more subtle than
electricity, more mysterious than life:
il is as hard TO put into words as il is
to adequately describe the perfume OF
the rose. We can but use our poor
words and illustrations to explain the
way Christ saves, and trust TO his
Holy Spirit 20 interpret the mysterious
process TO you, my friends. Generally.
Christ first convicts a man OF his sin,
that is, he shows him TO himself; he
arOuses the conscience and makes a
man realize his actual moral and spir-
itual condition as God sees him. The
sinner then realizing his hopeless con-
dition. resolves by Gods grace TO for
sake his sin. 10 lead a new life and by
faith he accepts OF Christ's offered
salvation. and as a result becomes a
new creature. He is then what we call
converted; his name is written in the
Lambs book Of life: he has passed
from death unto life. He hates sin
and loves holiness; the love OF God
is shed abroad in his heart by the
Holy Spirit given unto him. From that
time on Jesus, in the person OF the
Holy Spirit. dwells in the heart OF
this saved sinner. God thus assumes
the control over his heart and life;
his footsteps are guided in the path
way of duty.

MONTANA, A so-CALLED STATE.

A fight in a miners union at Butte,
Mont, having caused more than the
usual weekend excitement in that
bustling town. the governor promptly
appealed To the president for federal
troops. The row was between the
officers of the Western Federation OF
Miners, a conservative association
which never resorts to dynamite and
murder except when they are deemed
necessary, and the officers of the rad
ical I. w. W., an organization which
bestows its violent favorS upon cap
ital and unionism alike.
1t appears that while the sovereign
state of Montana was disturbing the
sleep of the COMMUNICATIVE chief at
Washington with it's frantic cries for
help, the two-fisted gentlemen who
make up the rank and file of the
Western Federation of Miners were
doing business on their own account
They chased the l. W. w. into the
sage brush. They organized themselves
into a committee of safety. They
closed the saloons. They patrolled
the streets. The next day they opened
the mines and resumed work, and
when the governor of the common
wealth arrived on the scene he was
Immediately emboldened to withdraw
his request for national assistance.

They have no conception of home rule.
