THE FARMER DIDN'T GET TT

The price of wheat has gone up to
$l.65 because of the export demand.
The price of flour has gone up cores
pondingly in this country and the six
cent loaf in New York threatens to be-
come the ten-cent loaf
We hear that the farmer must have
prospered enormously, but that is not
the case. Not ten per cent. of the
farmers held their wheat and most of
them sold for less than a dollar per
bushel.
The farmer could not wait to take
advantage of the increase of price that
was confidently predicted. He had to
sell The spectators have reaped the
benefit, he has not.
The farmer is handicapped not only
in negotiating long-term loans but in
obtaining shortterm money either to
tide him over or enable him to hold
his crops for reasonable period in or
der to secure better price and one to
which he is more entitled than the non
producing Spectator.
When prices are low the farmer suf-
fers and when they are high he is not
in position to take that measure of ad
vantage of them to which he is clearly
entitled.
Some day conditions will be changed
in this country to remove that mani
fest njustice.-Statesman.

Senator Fall ought to establish the basis
on which the estimate of expenses had
been made. Senator Martin, chairman
of the appropriations committee, said

can leaders called by the president had
agreed to ask for $25O,OOO to defray the
expenses of the president, and his party,
which was to include foreign diplomats
and 200 or 300 members of congress.
The committee, upon being advised Of
some criticism of this last provision,
however, had reduced the appropriation

invite whom he would.
Senator Martin said he understood
the president proposed to invite former
President Roosevelt and Taft to make
the trip to San Francisco with him.

SAW PRESIDENT
LINCOLN KILLED.

BOSTON-The only man alive today,
as far as is known, who took an active
part in the thrilling events surrounding
the murder of President Lincoln fifty
years ago at Ford's theatre, Washing
ton, is James N. Mills who is still do
ing business on Federal street, Boston.
1t happened that on the night of April
IA, 1865, young Mill attended the per-
Torrance Of the play "Our American
Cousin,' and he was the man who
guarded Mrs. Lincoln who was distract
ed by the awful tragedy. 81 was in
the dress circle of Ford's theatre,
drawn thither more by desire to see
the two great men of the nation, than
to see the play. The theatre was pack
ed, and the immense audience anxious
to see the president and Gen. Grant
who were expected to be present" He
said in a recent interview:
1.-THE third act of the play had just
opened, and Harry Hawk, an actor in
the cast, had just appeared, entering
on the left, when there was report of
pistol shot, and on looking over at
the presidential box saw a man gesti-
culating at the occupants. Suddenly
he faced the stage and jumped through
the window to the stage floor, and limp
ing slightly, disappeared through the
back entrance Of the THEATRE
Christianity the audience arose; the
confusion was indescribable. quick
ly made my way to the head of the
dress circle stairs and shouted that the
president had been shot. The provost
guards at that time were stationed at
all places of amusement in Washington.
I returned to the theatre few mo-
ments later and made my way to the
dress circle, and to the box of tho pres
idential party. AS l reached the box
President Lincoln was being carried
out on the shoulders Of two men, one of
whom recognized as the proprietor of
saloon adjoining the theatre. He
was in his shirt sleeves and the head of
Mr.. Lincoln was resting on his shoulder

Bible Says the Turk Will
Come to His End, Saws Elder

of the north) shall plant the tabernacles
of his palace between the seas in tho
glorious holy mountain; yet he shall
come to his end, and none shall help
him." Dan. 11:45. This verse speaks
of two events that all the world has
looked forward to with great appre:cn-
sion, and has expected to see accom-
plished at An early date-the driving
of the Turk from Europe, and his com.
ing to his end.
The GLORIOUS holy mountain L.
where Jerusalem is located. Zech. S:3.
1t is situated between the Mediterran.
can and the Dead Sea. According tc
the prophecy, the seat of governme t
Of the Turk is to be removed from Con.
st;'ntinople and located at Jerusalem.
During the progress of the Balkan
war in 1912, many writers in the daily
papers and the magazines freely ex.
pressed their conviction that the time
had come for the Turk to leave Europe.
While he was driven by the Balkan al
lies to the verge Of Europe, their hands
were stayed by the conference of the
European powers in London, and the
Turk still holds Constantinople. Scarce
" had the present war begun when it
was freely predicted that this would
end the stay Of the Turk in Europe.
Paraphrasing the scripture in the
light Of simple deductions, we have the
following: The Turk shall locate his
seat Of government at Jerusalem, and
shall come to his end, and at that time
Christ shall begin His eternal reign.
The timo Of trouble to the nations,
such as never was, will follow, and at
that time all Gods people whose names
are found written in the book of life,
will be delivered.
The thought that Christ takes His
kingdom and begins His reign at the
beginning Of this time of unparalleled
trouble to the nations may seem some
what strange to some, but it will be
seen to be in perfect accord with the
scripture.
Like the muffled tread of the thief in
the night, the day of the Lord is steal.
ing upon us. More suddenly than the
present war broke over Europe, and
with much more dire results, will the
war Of the great day of God break over
all the world. The only safety in that
hour will be found in Jesus.
He that dweleth in the secret place
OF the Most High shall abide under the
shadow of the Almighty Ps. Oil.
Very sincerely yours,

Church.

To the Editor:
The awful scourge that like a mighty
avalanche is now devastating the fair.
est parts of Europe is not the time Of
trouble of Daniels prophecy, but it is
undoubtedly the prelude to it. Soon
the Turk will make his last stand at
Jerusalem, the day of salvation will
end, the great day of the Lord will be.
gin, the time of trouble such as never
was will suddenly break upon the world
and the King Of glory will appear, and
the great conflict SO long waged with
sin will forever end.
What has the eastern question or the
future of the Turk to do with scripture,
and why so much concern about wheth.
or Turkey or some other power shall
occupy Constantinoples More than
twenty-four centuries ago, the Lord re.
vealed to the prophet Daniel events
that would take place among earthly
powers in connection with the closing
scenes of earth 8 history, as follows:
"And he shall plant the tabernacles
of his palace between the seas in the
glorious holy mountain; yet he shall
come to his end, and none shall help
him. And at that time shall Michael
stand up, the great Prince which stand.
eth for the children Of thy people; ara
there shall be a time of trouble, such
as never was since there was a nation
even to that same time; and at that
time thy people shall be delivered cy-
cry one that shall be found written in
the book. And many of them that
sleep in the dust Of the earth shall
awake, some to everlasting life, and
some to shame and everlasting con-
tempt" Dan. HAS; 1912.
This is the conclusion of longproph.
ecy that begins with the Medic Persian
kingdom and closes with the establish.
ment Of the eternal kingdom and the
resurrection.
Soon after the death of Alexander
the Great, his generals formed a CON-
pact for the government of his empire;
but it was soon broken, and out of his
conquests four kingdoms arose "toward
the four winds of heaven.' 1t was
not long after this division had been
effected till Cassander had succeeded
in conquering all that portion of Alex
ander's kingdom lying to the north Of
Jerusalem, leaving but two Of the orig
inal four divisions remaining. These
are mentioned in the prophecy as "the
king of the north and "the king OF
the SOUTH Since 1853 A. D., when
Constantinople fell into the hands OF
the Turk, this power has ruled over the
territory of "the king Of the north.'

commission of Idaho against the Short
Line and Union Pacific alleging that
rates on coal from Kemmerer and Rock
Springs to southern Idaho points were
unreasonably high. The commission
holds the existing rates to be fair, par
ticularly as Idaho cities are not SO sit
uated as to be able to advantageously
to get coal from other sources. The
fact that rates from Wyoming to Port
land and to north Idaho are compare
lively low is explained by the commits
sion on the ground that those points
can get coal from other sources and
therefore the railroads are compelled
to make low rates to get business.

THE GIFT TO MANKIND,

When Fanny Crosby was an infant
hot poultice was placed upon her eyes
to relieve some minor trouble. The op-
tic nerve was destroyed and she was
blind the remainder of her life. She
died few days ago at her Connecticut
home in her ninety-ffth year.
Fanny Crosby was one of the world s
best known writer's of hymns. She
wrote more than eight thousand sacred
songs and she only laid down her pen
when she sank into unconsciousness
day or two before her death.
Shut out from the beauties of nature
she was cheerful and commended. Ply
sically in darkness, her soul was light
ed by heavenly illumination that
flashed it's beams far out over the trou-
bled waters of individual tribulation.
She never forgot about the poultice
that blinded her; and it became her
mission to apply it-but that others
might see.
She bandaged soothing poultice to
the weary and heartsick when she
wrote:
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe ON His gentle breast,
There by His love PERSUADED
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
To the discouraged soul, torn and
battered by the onrushing tides of ad-
versity, she tenderly affixed the con-
selling poultice Of hope
Hark, tits the voice of angels,
Borne in song to me,
Over the field of glory
Over the jasper sea.
"Safe in the arms of Jesus what
a solace Fanny Crosby here applied to
the hurts of body and of mind.
What devotion and courage she in
spired in the hearts Of those who had
gone out in the lifeboats of salvation
and bore to the harbor of safety and
peace those who had chung to wreckage
Of sin
Rescue the perishing,
Care Tor the dying.
To the wanderer stretching forth his
hands pitifully in the murkiness of a
clouded faith, she furnished an appeal
beautiful in its simplicity, tender in its
supplication and glorious in its posi-
bilities-
"Pass me not, o gentle Savior"
If every man and woman who has
been helped along the rough road of
life by Fanny Crosby's hymns should
rise above it a mountain tribute whose
incense would float to the pearly gates.
