from the expenditure. To use their
own words. Why should not all come
70 a knowledge Of the truth that they
may believe? This question assuming
that God would not be rendering jus.
iice 10 the unsaved millions Of pas,
ages unless he should give them a
second probation, is followed by this
positive statement regarding the
texts cited in the proceeding para
graph. They also say in their book,
Studies in the Scriptures, pare 1861
The above and many more Scriptures
would be meaningless or worse il
death ends all hope for the ignorant
masses Of the world. Ii does seem
strange that one should be so strongly
welded TO a pet theory as to declare
an inspired text meaningless, unless it
can be made to teach the particular
tenet upon which he bases his entire
system Of theology. This is, however,
here positively asserted. But to
strengthen this soul-easing PROPOSE
ton, an explanation is offered as to
why all the heather Of past ages were
permitted to die in ignorance. 1t is
given on page Ill as follows; II that
death ends all probation and after that
none have an opportunity to come to
a knowledge of the truth and obey it,,
why did God see fit to take them
away without chance Of salvation
through the knowledge of the only
name whereby they can be saved ? The
answer they give is: 1t was not their
due time. "Due time" continued. adv

/ Does probation extend beyond
death The age-to-come theorists
answer, yes. Because upon this de-
cision hangs the weight Of their mill
lenial dawn speculations. But a can
did comparison Of their views with
Scripture teaching ought TO convince
the most devoted adherent Of those
doctrines that they have no founda-
ton in divine teaching. This being
true, their theories lead up to false
hope in the matter Of personal re-
sponsibility for individual conduct. II,
as they affirm, one hundred and forty
two billions of people have lived and
died without regard to future life,
who are to be raised from their graves
at Christ's second coming, for the sole
purpose Of giving them an opportunity
to acknowledge Him and thus be saw
ed, and that, too, in a sinless age,
where no temptations can ascail then
what advantage has been, church or
ganization for the propagation of
Christian virtue in the midst of bitter
opposition from the evil one? If all
the heather of past ages are TO come
forth from the dead to sinless peri
cd TO have a renewed probation and be
saved without developing under test,
the hardness of Christian valor, then
why not have postponed church organ
ization until second probation had
been accorded to all mankind? Would
not this course have more nearly
equalized human opportunities for
common salvation? God being no re-
spector of persons, could He in justice
hold one responsible for failure under
temptation while in church utilization,
and then give the millions of all past
ages, who, in their lives cared nothing
for salvation, the advantage Of sin
less age and the righteous reign of
Christ to make their peace with Him ?
But upon what is such assumption
reared? Just this: II is argued that
because Christ tasted death for all,
and thus, gave Himself a ransom for
all, everyone for whom He did so
much should have positive benefit |

WATER BARS UPON
OUR HIGHWAYS

Editor Rutland Herald:
note your reference 10 the Peru
Turnpike and your suggestion that |
use my influence to cause the water
bars 10 be removed: and in reply
would state that all objectionable wat
err bars have already been removed.
Or rather that the old-fashioned ones
about which SO many remarks have
been made have been so reconstructed
that they are no longer Objectionable
TO any reasonable kind OF travel
take the ground boldly that for all
mountain roads and, in fact. roads
over steep hills anywhere water bars
are extremely advisable, and that they
can be so constructed that they will
best serve to turn the water and at
the same time obstruct no lawful trav-
ell whatever for the automobiles. They
should be in the shape Of double
v, simple increase Of grade, at reas-
enable intervals, with reasonable
slope at each end and in front and
behind.
| believe that the influence Of our
professional highway commissioners
has been largely detrimental on ac-
count Of their insistence that all water
bars should be removed instead Of be-
ing changed in construction so that
our roads can be preserved and at the
same time be kept in proper condition
for even rapid travel. They invariably
confess that proper water bars can be
constructed; why then do they not
spend due time and effort in teaching
their subordinates how to make them?
Cross the Peru Turnpike now and the
fine roads in Peru and you will find
frequent water bars but good healthy
ones.

Another Windle Whim

Russia is giving Editor Windle of the Iconocast
terrible nightmare. His vocabulary of vituperation
fails to furnish him with epthets to express his
tempt of Russian ignorance Russian tyranny, ETC.. ETC.
He argues that such gigantic fake" as Prohibi-
ton could never be foisted by despotic ruler upon
people that had not lived for centuries in sodden igno
rance Windle does not deny that Russia is prosper
in spite of Prohibition and in time of war, but
gives this ingenious explanation of the fact:
Russia, despite the enjoys temporary boom in bust
So workers the firing line that others
been given better chance live Measured in dollars
value Of their product has increased The of
and farmers in America Prohibition the
cause"
Russia's Prohibition is doing more execution in
the ranks of the liquor advocates than German
shot or shell have in the ranks of the Russians them
selves Wndles explanation of Russas prosperity is
in direct conflict with that of NJ Bark Russian Min
lister of Finance who attributes it to the effects of
Prohibition. 1t begins to look though Wind1e and
not Prohibition were the flake"

Jackson County Board Licenses Saloons

The Importance Of electng the right kind of SUI
pervsors emphasized in Jackson county last week
when the county board granted saloon licenses to two
men in Fountain Bluff township.
Jackson county is dry, with the exception of the
towns of Murphysboro Fountain Bluff and Grand
Towe-. There is reason therefore, why the county
board should have granted single saloon license.
Commenting upon the situation the Carbonate Free
Press of April 28 says

''Ho, for a Serum Against the
Sunday Disease!''

The prospect of Billy Sundays invasion OF Chi
cago has struck into the hearts of the liquor
dealers. "Growler," leading writer for the American
Brewers Review, in the April ISSUE attempts to
plain the psychology" of Billy Sundays REVEALS
"Growlers" psychology is entertaining, if not in
structive He asserts that the antcs of the revival
list only "the atvistc type Of man.. The eff
fects of Mr.. Sundays preaching numbers of men,
he styles mass hysteria, and ends with the excama
ton, "Ho, for against the Sunday diseaser
We are not surprised that Billy Sundays revivals
should cause the liquor dealers to throw spasm of
fits" In Pittsburgh, one Sunday afternoon during
Mr.. Sundays stay, over 10000 men stood up and
pledged themselves to fight the liquor traffic, and in
Philadelphia after the combined appeals of Mr. Sun
day and Mr.. Bryan it is said that 10000 men "swore
off,"
Everywhere Billy Sunday goes the liquor traffic
suffers. His "booze' has put more saloons
out of business than any other single factor. No
wonder Growler would like to have against
the Sunday disease.

Have the Liquor Interests Purchased the
Chicago Post?

Have the liquor interests purchased the Chicago
Post? This question is being asked by hundreds of
citizens Of Chicago who heretofore have welcomed the
Post to their homes. The question would
quire affirmative answer. The Post of April 20
contained 28 liquor advertisements and four pro-
liquor stories and other articles of considerable
length There go inches or over 28 columns
of space devoted to reading matter in the interests of
the liquor trade.
At time when all the other Chicago papers, and
nearly all the metropolitan papers the country over,
opposing the liquor traffic, editorialy and through
toon story and news item, the Post continues to de-
fend business that has been put under worldwide
ban.
When it is considered that the Post is Progress
sve paper and that the rank and file of the Progressive
party IS dry the policy of the Post would to be
suicidal. The Post claims to be only the mouth
piece OF the Progressives in Illinois, but family news
paper, and it is safe to assert that having so
lessly nsued its constituents it will meet with the
prompt reputation which its policy deserves.

New Year Greetings

Between the hours of 2 and 10 o.
m. last Friday. fully 10000 people
paid a visit to the Monroe City Bank
The occasioniwas that the bank has
recently undergone extensive re ar.
rangement both interior and exter-
ior. Is is now one of the incest and
most convenient banking buildings
to be found anywhere. There are
others larger, it is true, but none
more conveniently arranged or more
nicely finished. When this bank
was first established Henry Burnham
presented it with a clock and his
clock is highly treasured and occu-
pies its place. The outside is now
trimmed with Bedford cut stone and
presents a very attractive. massive
appearance. The interior is arranged
to be convenient and also to present
good appearance. The lobby is
wailscoated and the fixtures are of
imported French marble trimmed
with black marble. The floor is ma
tive marble. The woodwork is all
finished mahogany and harmony
prevails everywhere in the finish
Graduates of an art school put the
finishing touches in the heavy plas
tered beam Getting. The semi-indi
rect lighting system is used. The
vault was enlarged, part of it set
apart for customers and $50 safety
deposit boxes were put in. Of these
100 were rented before the bank
opened. In the basement is a modern
hot water heating plant.
At the AT Home" the gentleman
ly officers of the bank and good lady
friends made all visitors feel wei
come. Calendars were presented to
ALL Each visitor was served punch
The ladies were presented with car
nations and the gentlemen with
cigars. The occasion was a very
pleasant one and the 1915 New
Years day will long be remem-
bered.

Howard Eugene Lear was almost
instantly killed Thursday, Dec 81,
near Hickory Ridge, Ark. Deceased

went to Colorado with his mother,
Later he went to Arkansas and was
foreman on E. P, Nelson's ranch,
On this ranch is a saw mill. How
ard was passing close by and saw
that oil was needed. He oiled the
machinery and in stepping back he
was caught between the piston rod
and a boxing which crushed the
right side completely and he soon
bled to death. The mother; sister
Mrs. c, B. Hugely; two brothers,
Louis, of Denver and Walter. who
lives with his mother, together with
a large circle of friends mourn his

How the Crops Are Fed.

Nearly SO per cent of the total
value of com, oats, harley and hay
used on farms of the United States
is consumed by horses, II per cent
by swine. Is per cent by mich
cows, IL per cent by other cattle, a
per cent by sheep, 8 per cent by
poultry, 2 per cent by human be-
ing, 2 per cent for seed, about 5 per
cent is used for other purposes or
is uncertain. These elements are
based upon inquiries made of crops
reports of the Bureau of Crop esti-
mates. The four crops. corn. oats,
barley and hay represent the bulk
of cultivation crops fed to live stock
The total amount of wheat and po-
tatoes. kafir, milo, ETC., and mill
feeds and pasturaee is an important
item in the feed supply, especially
in the western range section. But
of the cultivated crops corn, oats.
barley and hay represents nearly
the total supply.
In the past five years the corn
crop of the United States has aver
aged about 2.7O8,OOO.OOO bushels
annually; oats 1881 100000 bushels
barley 1s2,OOOOO0 bushels; and
cultivated hay 100000 tons. The
amount of prairie hay and forage
crop gathered annually is not esti-
mated but in the census report of
1903 it totaled 100000 tons. The
average annual consumption of all
hay and forage crops may there
fore be estimated as about $4,000
600 tons.-Ex.
