Christianity VS.. ~Mohammedanism.

Bishop Martzell, the great Ameri-
a missionary, declares that
Moslemism is spreading more rapid
ly in Asia and Africa than Christi
anity is. The Mohammedan priests
are more active and their appeal TO
the ignorance and superstition of
the Asiatic and Africans meets more
productive response than the appeals
of Christian missionaries. Prof.
Hart7ell believes that education is
the only cure for the situation. that
the missionaries must first train the
'ehlllren 'ofF h;eadtheiftdsm EB&foTe they
can touch 't6eifHhaarts .sij The fact
that ChristianitSSa finds in Moham-
mechanism a progressive and vigorous
Zoe, adds much TO tie difficulties OF
the worlds evangerization. Through
out Tie world Of 1lSam tue darkest
ignorance is the rule. More than
eighty per cent OF the inhabitants
of the Mohammedan nations can
neither read nor write. To break

dan priests, the Christian mission

The Short Course. in Highway
Engineering at the State University
is an innovation in the highway
system of our state. 1t should be
patronized by avery road official in
the state. as the greatest problem
we have in u road system is n
lack of trained men. and of a real
ization on the part Of our people
that 1t requires a trained man to
build a road as well asuit requires
a trained man TO build a. house.
Each n is a separatc-and distinct
business and requires training in a
special tthe. ~ ~
The law compels or requires
that the county court shall send the
county engineer to take this course
but in counties wherein they have
no engineer, the court should send
its supervisors or a part OF them at
least; and citizens of the state who
are DESTROYS of having better roads
avail themselves as far as
possible of the opportunities OFFER
ed by the University.

LIFE TERhfR At

Blaine county on conviction of the
murder of one Michael Crawley He
died at an early hour. Allen was re-
moved from the penitentiary to the
hospital several days ago when 1t be-
came certain death was close at hand.
The crime for which Allen, together
with his pal" were convicted was com
mitted at HALEY. They raided a re-
sort there intending to rob the in
mates. After posting men on the out
side they entered the place and en-
countered Crawley. a piano player. He

and killed. The murder was olassed

When the board of pardons held its
last meeting an effort was made to
secure Aliens pardon so that he might
be taken from the penitentiary and
removed to some other state to die.
Strenuous opposition was encountered
on the part of Haley and Blaine coun-
ty residents to the application. who set
forth that II Allen had to die. death
might just as we'll overtake him within
the walls of the penitentiary as on
the outside. Those favoring the petit
ton claimed It would be humanitarian
to allow him to leave the penal insti-
tuition, as death was but a short time
off. In the latter conclusion they
were correct, for 1t overlook the pris-
oner at an earlier date than had been
expected.

TN examining the constitution to
determine whether or not there Is
merit to any OF the claims made by the
petitions It Is necessary to bear In
mind the controlling principle of con-
stitutional construction in this connec-
ton, to-wit: "A state constitution is q
limitation and not a grant OF power
Unless, therefore, we should find
that the exercise of the powers which
are claimed to be in violation of the
constitution 10 distinctly forbidden TO
the state, either by the federal Of state
constitution, we must conclude that
the exercise Of such powers Is wholly
proper. In other words. so far as our
state constitution is concerned. we
must conclude that the legislature has
been endowed by the people with all
proper legislative power except where
this has been limited by some clear
revision OF the constitution. Many
such limitations upon the power of the

"Examining the constitution for

exercise of power properly belonging
to one of these departments shall ex-
