able

For the first time since moving pic
local board Of eensors passed upon
picture Wednesday. The five reel
picture, "Three Weeks was billed at
the Bradley " ednesdny afternoon and
evening. Early in the morning
citizen Iwho was apparently wholly
uniformed as to the nature of the
picture, called up Alderman Padgett
of the police committee and informed
him that "Three Weeks, picture
taken from what the informant termed
"that awful book was To be shown at
the Bradley theatre and the citizen
thought il ought not to be allowed
until il had been seen by the officials.
Manager Goldman OF the theatre was
seen and stated that he had not seen
the picture, neither had he read the
story, He did know that the picture
had been passed by The national board
OF censors. This satisfied the officials.
Later the manager volunteered To give
a private show TO number Of citizens
at 1880 IN the morning and ais oiler
was accepted. Before the show WAS
started Manager Goldman stated that
II the picture was Objectionable IL
would not be shown, eT Il there were
parts OF It Objectionable they would be

The Sinking of the Lusitania

The news of the sinking Of Cunard
line steamship Lusitania reached Put
nam about three O'Clock Friday after
noon and once the subject became the
general topic Of conversation. The
news was first received at the First Ma
tional bank when officials called their
Boston broker on the phone and were
informed that the stock exchange was
IN n state resembling panic and that
he could not talk. Soon after another
message arrived saying that the boat
had not been sunk but had been beach
ed on the coast Of Ireland. Would
that the last message had proved true
The press of the country has been a
unit in denouneing the sinking of the
boat, without giving the passengers
aud crew chance 10 leave as an tout-
rage against law and humanity. Ger
many's justification is that the boat is
an English auxiliary crusier, was
armed and carrying contraband of war
was in the war zone and that warning
that she was TO be, sunk had been given
putting the responsibility upon those
who assumed the risk in the face of
the danger of which warning had been
sounded
The American people have viewed
the critical situation with calm re.
straint and are ready to Loyalty sup

rs he may formulate. II is q trying

is thought that possibly spontaneous
combustion was the cause of the fire.
Two little children were In the house
alone and when they saw the sparks
they went out and told an'older person
who gave the alarm. The dense smoke
handicapped the firemen and they had
to rush TO the windows for air every

She Knows What She Wants

The we'll inform housekeeper

powder which is made OF cream Of
tartar. She might read in an
advert isement or be told that alum
and lime phosphate, which are
used as inferior substitutes in
cheap baking powders, we're all
right in the quantities used but
she would not buy them or permit
them to enter her Kitchen. Nhy2
Because she knows that cream
Of tartar has always been accepted
as the most wholesome agent, with
soda, for raising cake and bis
cult, and she wants a baking

she uses baking powder, reads the

DEMOCRACY HARD PUT
Tariff Laws Defective In Many In
stances and Schedules In Court.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 23-The
Democratic administration is approach
ing very awkward situation.
There are on the docket of the United
States Supreme Court the so-called five
per cent rebate cases. They involve a
tremendous sum in customs revenues,
loosely estimated at between fifteen and
twenty million dollars, collected under
the provisions of the Underwood tariff
law. On the courts decision hangs the
fate of these millions.
If the Supreme Court upholds the five
/ per cent rebate provision in the Under
wood law. then the sum in dispute be-
longs to the foreign importers and must
be paid back by the government. The
treasury deficit long ago became alarm
ing. If this enormous additional sum
has to be paid out, it will still further
emphasize the failure of the Democratic
fiscal policy.
On the other hand, if the Supreme
Court decides that the five per cent.
provision of the Underwood law is in
valid, the highest court in the land will
have convicted the Democratic Congress
of a Rumiliating blunder and still further
emphasize Its records of legislative in
efficiency.
The fact that the attorney general,
IN order to save the revenue involved,
is attacking the validity of the law
Congress worked six months to pass,
makes the situation still more compli-
Gated
From political standpoint, the best
thing that could happen to the Demo
cratic party in this case would be to
have decision go over until after cleo
ton.
Whether or not this happens depends
largely upon the time the case is heard,
1t is up to the government to take the
first step to advance the the date of
hearing, LitIgants on the other side
Of the case have complained bitterly
over what they term unreasonable de-
lay, and for weeks have been urging
the government to move more quickly.
Meanwhile, regardless OF when the
hearing may be held Democratid lead
ers are wondering what can be done to
offset the attack that will be made on
their fiscal policy on the one hand, and
their legislative efficiency on the other.

Systematic Giving

Continuing where left off in my last
let me begin by saying We owe Ethis.
To say it must be free Kill and not by
constraint, is to say all we need do is to
be unwilling. Do we say each must
decide for himself. Apply this princi-
pie to the Sabbath, the conservation of
time must be free. Then each one
whether keeping one third, or one sew
enth, or one tenth, or none to God is do
ing his duty.
To adhere to rule does not take away
freeness. 1t promotes it. The freest
givers are tithers. We are under grace,
you say, as if that settled the whole
matter, certainly we are and its a good
thing we are. But if those under law
gave one tenth, surely we who under
grace should give more The Lord had
the giyers good at heart when He said,
"and thou shalt eat before the Lord
thy God, in the place which he shall
choose to place his name then, the 1.-THE
of thy corn Of thy wine, and of thine
oil and the frstlings of thy heads and
Of thy focks that thou mayest learn to
fear the Lord thy God always" Deut.

But what is the basis of prosperity?
Suppose you rent farm or shop as the

may want to settle on two per cent,
claiming that is as the Lord has pros
