with the present price of sugar, 1915
should prove the best year In the.

Meditations for Wednesday.
The Bethany Silence.
In the last week Of the life Of our
Lord. there were two days OF silence.
One was Wednesday, the Silence Of
the Bethany home; the other was
Saturday. the Silence of the Tomb.
These two days were not days of in
activity but of recuperatiOn, one fOl
the Trial Of the Cross, the other for
the Glory of Easter.
The power Of Silence is not always
recognized. Great souls have gener-
ally been born and reared in the re-
giOns of Silence. Wednesday was not
wasteday. but prayer day, when
the soul of the Lord took firmer root
in the unseen and the eternal.
The invitation to prayer, unaCcept-
ed bv the multitude, is an invitation
to power.
Our Lord was much in Silence.
Thirty years out of the SO Of His life
are appropriately named the years Of
Silence Even during the three years
of his public ministry He is often re-
ported as Withdrawing into solitude.

place to be by himself He went not
only for rest but TO gain power.
If any age ever needed the Sabbath
dav for rest and silence. it is our age.
Wonderful are its activity and achieve

mercial enterprise-yet there is fear
that it will be classed as an age of
superficial civilization The one who

cH1LD,LABoR AND THE COMMUNITY

If the only argument against the anti-child
labor measure to be introduced in the house is
that it will keep children from working to sup
port their families, the measure certainly seems
to rest on good grounds.
The doctrine that labor by children of tender
years aids permanently to solve the problem
of fair living is economically unsound. 1t
shifts upon the shoulders of the weak the bur
den of the strong Families which must depend
for. a living income upon long hours of toll by
their weakest and least mature members are
lowering instead of raising the community s
soundness and vitality. The sooner the state
or territory steps in and remedies this situa-
ton the better for the future citizenship.
This is not an argument that occasional tasks
or even light outside employment for boys and
girls in reasonable hours and under proper
conditions are bad. 1t is an argument that the
territory should not continue to furnish any
for exploitation of child labor

THE CHALLENGE OF THE SUNDAY
MOVIES" BILL.

One Immediately apparent fact in the senate
public hearing last night upon the Sunday
mOvies' bill was that some of the strongest
protests against the bill were voiced by and on
behalf Of the Hawaiian people. -
The opponents of the bill emphasize that the
Sunday moving pictures will not only tend
very directly to lowering respect for an order
", quiet and uplifting Sabbath day but will be
the entering wedge to more serious attacks on
the sanctity of this day set apart for rest and
Wholesome moral influences. The talk of
educational and biblical moving pictures
amounts to nothing since it neither comes from
nor is sanctioned by ministers. church societies
or religious organizations of any nature. 1t is
simply catch phrase to deceive part of the
public as to the nature Of the bill. tits opposed
hy the men and women devoted to religious in
struction and social and moral welfare work.
II is advocated by those with commercial in
terest in the moving picture business.
The argument is advanced, and apparently
with sincerity, that if moving-pictures are al
lowed to be operated on Sunday, the working
man may take his family to the picture shows
on Sunday, while now on weekdays he either
has no time or is too tired to give the necessary
exertion. Without questioning the sincerity
of this argument, the Star Bulletin would draw
attention to its faaacy. The facts are that the
picture houses are generously patronized by
the working-classes every night from Monday
up to and including Saturday. TIE working
man does find time and energy to see the
movies" in Hawaii and to take his family
during the week.
Another argument equally fallacious is ad-
vanced by the moving picture interests-that
by opening their houses on Sunday for, film
shows of clean character they will aid the
work of the churches in taking the young
people off the Streets
This is plausible and to a certain extent
It is true, but it is surprising to see it seriously
uttered as an argument for something the
fApfches plainly don't want A few months
3 20 one of the moving-pi establishments
did open its house on Sunday and the show
was aiclean one, but was it offered the public
for uplift purposes--to aid the churches! On
the contrary, it was a commercial venture, a
sort of coupon being distributed to stimulate
the attendance at the picture-houses on week
day Knights, when admittance was charged
The territory will be making hazardous ex-
pertinent indeed if it puts in the hands of the
moving picture interests the moral instruction
Of its young people. With the best intentions
+. q the world, these interests must run their

NATURAL
Resources OF Alaska Will Be
Made More Available

Washington, ID. c., Sept 10
Among the natural resources Of Alas
ka which 1t is expected will be made
more readily available to the worlds
markets by the construction of the
recently projected government rail.
road, one which may be less well
known but which is by no means the
least valuable is her agricultural
soils. Experts from the bureau of
soils, U. S. department of agriculture,
recently have made an examination
of the soils over large part of the
Alaskan peninsula, the results of
which are soon to be published by
the department in a report entitled,
"Soil Reconnaissance in Alaska, With
an Estimate of the Agricultural Pos
sibilties."
The report describes the soils and
conditions influencing agriculture in
three broad areas, the Cook-Inlet-Sus-
itana region, the Yukon-Tanana
region, and the Copper River regions.
AS a promising agricultural section
the ok-Inlet-Susitna region is the
most important, although the Yukon
Tanana region comprises some of the
best agricultural soils in Alaska. In
the former region soil type mapped
as the Knik loan, under the scientific
classification adopted by the bureau
of soils, covers a total area of nearly
1000 square miles. 1t is an excellent
soil for the production of potatoes, a
native grass, legumes, and flowers.
The soil is easily titled and is now
used for a wide varieyt of crops. Po-
tatoes yield over 200 bushels per
acre. Early varieties of oats and
barley produce large yields of grain.
Wheat and rye mature, and all the
small grains give good yields of hay.
Other soils of the three general
regions are described in detail, to-
gether with the climate, topography,
transportation, and other factors af-
fecting agriculture. In general, con-
ditionsI are favorable over vast
territory for the development of the
stock-raising and dairying industries,
and the most promising line of agri-
culture seems to be that which will
center about dairying. 1t is pointed
out in the report that the develop
ment of successful and profitable
agriculture in this region is entirely
possible, but will depend upon the
establishment of transportation facil
tiles and the development of local
markets.

CLEVELAND
Has Lowest Death Rate Of
Any City

Columbus, o., Sept. 10-Figures
given out Friday by DR.. M. w. Bland,
state registrar of vital statistics,
show Cleveland had fewer deaths per
1000 of population last year than any
big city in the state.
Cleveland's death rate was only
1877 in 1000. Only one city, Hamil-
ton, had q lower record. Hamilton's
record was 9.S.
Cincinnatis rate was the highest.
Out of every 1000, a little over 16
died in 1914. Cincinnati's 1918 death
rate was 17.2.
Here are death rates for other
large cities in Ohio:
Columbus, 14.7 in 1914, 1873 in 1919; |;
Toledo, 15.9 in 1914, 1914 in 1913;
Akron, 1875 in 1914, 14.9 in 1913; Day
ton, 1871 in 1914, 15.4 in 1913; Youngs-
town, 14.7 in 1914, 1862 in 1913.
In rural counties the rates are low.
Carroll, Defiance, Hooking, Mercer,
Noble, Paulding, Perry, Pike, Van
Vert and Vinton counties all had
death rates below 10 in 1000
Out of every 100000 inhabitants OF
the state, 16 last year killed them
selves. OF these, six died from poi
son, four shot themselves, and three
died from hanging
Old age killed IA out of every 100,
900 last year; pulmonary tuberculos
Is took 10; typhoid, 18; cancer 8;
nervous diseases, 142; diseases of the
digestive system, 1856.
Ohio's death rate last year was
1894 in 1000 inhabitants, Bland's
statistics show.

The disturbance he made in de-

the employees of the hospital. He was
finally let in SO as to restore peace
and one of the hospital attendants
took him in charge. Diamond was
intoxicated it is claimed, so police
call was put in.
Diamond was taken to the city lock
