BAPTIST CHURCH

Sunday will be last time that Mr..
Varney will occupy his pulpit until
after his vacation. He has two i'm
portant messages: "The Indwelling
Christ" will be the morning theme,
and christian and Church Union"
the evening theme. The morning SER
vices will be held half an hour earlier
than formerly: Sunday school at 1000
and divine worship at II 100. The eve
ming services will be held fifteen min
utes later than usual; namely, B. Y.
p. U. at 7:15 and divine worship at
SIS. 1t is hoped that each church will
make an extra effort to get its mem
bers out for the evening service, as
Mr.. Varney has a message on Christ
ian and Church union that all should
hear Not all of you will agree with
him, but you will have something new
to think about and something to set
tie with your conscience. Mr.. Var
ney does not think so many churches
are justified in Caldwell. Do you?

Liberty Bell Day, Monday, July II,
will be red letter day for Caldwell
and vicinity. The various commit
tees in charge of the event report
that all plans are complete and every
thing in readiness for the arrival of
the historic emblem. The special train

VITAL AND INTXCUSABLE
ERROR MADE BY CONGRESS

One of the most vital and mex
cusable errors a legislative body can
commit is to pass a law containing a
discrepancy in the date it shall take
effect.
The Democratic Congress incor-
porated such blunder in the war
tax" law,
Section p of this law declares that
the stamp taxes prescribed on the
articles provided for in Schedule B
shall attach to all such articles thirty
days after the approval of the act"
Schedule itself, however, provides
that "all articles and preparations pro-
vided for which are in the hands of
manufacturers or dealers on December
|, 1914 shall be subject to the pay
ment of the stamp taxes herein" etc.
The two provisions are absolutely
contradictory. When the Treasury
Department came to enforce the law
it was unable to harmonic the two
conflicting dates. ongress had adjour-
ned and it was impossible to correct
the. blundcr by proper Legislative
action.
A forced Interpretation was the only
alternative. The Department orbitr-
arily fixed the date of enforcement
virtually assuming a function that be-
longed only to the legislative body.
The whole subject of financial legis,
lation seems to have been a fata'

MUST LAY OUT THEIR FINES
Payette and Parma Men to Board
With Sheriff for a Time.

Payette is doomed to worry along
without its Chinese restaurant for at
least two weeks longer. This circum-
stance is due to the fact that proprie-
tor Fong Yeng Dip will rest for that
length Of time in the county Jail here
For conducting his place in an un-
sanitary condition the oriental was
sentenced to pay fine of $25 and SO
costs by Probate Judge Meek Tues
day afternoon. Dip has no inclina-
ton to dig up that amount of good
United States simoleons and must
therefore lay out the fine.
The Parma pepper" seems fated
to keep company with his two Pay
cite fellow prisoners, Dip and Martin,
the latter accused of bootlegging. Re
lativcs near Sweet on whom he count
ed to pay his fine of $50 telephoned
the sheriff that they could not spare
the cash just at present.
