Methodist or Presbyterian, or Baptist who
signs away his children to the Pope, before

He isn't worth hell's room.
Naturally, the result of WinsIow's astound-

In the meantime the same Callahan sells

Are Atlanta DailieS Crazy About
Law and Order?
FROM the Cleveland, Ohio, Erposition,
the following is taken:

The famous Men and Religion" bulletins in
Atlanta have ceased to appear-but not because
the men who have been writing them or the men
who have been paying for their publication grew
weary in we'll doing. The people who have weak
ened are the proprietors Of the Atlanta Consttu-
ton and the Atlanta Journal the papers which
had been printing the bulletns-at advertising
rates-eVer since the authors, nearly four Years
ago, began through this means their sucCassfuE
light to break up commercialized vice in their
city. Following that victory, the behind
these big guns of publicity-Messrs. Eagan and
Jackson mainly-Went on to promote by the
tration, the creation of industrial reformatories
Tor Maynard youth, and the abolition Of child
labor.
The Constitution and Journal stood for all this.
But finally, when these fearless crusaders turned
to the question of enforcing in atlanta the prohi-
bition law, and pointed out in their advertising
broadSldeS how the most ariStocratc and eXClu-
slve clubs of the capital were deliberately violat-
ing the prohibitory statutes of Georgia, the two
big dailles Of the city couldn't keep the pace and
notified Mr. Eagan that his money wasn't good at
their advertising offices any longer. The coward
ice Of their policy is the more glazing in view OF
the fact that the two papers continue to publish
advertisements Of whiskey and beer-in a prohi-
bitOn state
But these craven newspapers did nothing to
quiet the agitation for law enforcement bv their
withdrawal of publicity privileges. The evangeli-
cal ministers association Of the city has always
stood steadfastly behind Jackson and Eagan, and
since this attempt to stife their appeals the pas
tors have rallied to them with a determination
that the people shall hear the truth, anyway The

THE PEACE ARGUMENTS.

In widely circulated address against national armament Dr. Isaac Sharpless of Haverford college bases his arsu- ment against further increase of our national defense on the probability that the nations now at war will not be ready to attack the United States for several decades and winds mp by stating that "armaments mean War and dependence on justice means peace" The article k a fair sample of the vasty mass of peace literature with which the country has been flooded since the outbreak of the Great War. While appreciatine the animatins spirit il is difficult to understand the appli- cation of some of the reasons advanced for a discontnuance of the national ef- forts to safeguard the country from armed aggression As for instance the statement that dependence upon jas- tice means peace Admitting that the sonorous sentence is ethicany correct and that we are willing to abide by the principle contained therein, where un- der high heaven are we to find re- ciproeal feeling? Belgium. for instance was of necessity compelled ID put her faith in the justice and brotherly spirit of her neighbors because of her weak ness and today that little nation has all but vanished as q national entity What of the Boer nation and a dozen others that one can recall at a moments no- tice2 And have We not ourselves been the object of an attempted conquest by d more powerful nation? The state ment seems fallacious when the history of nations is considered and vet the principal argument of some half dozen peace circulars at hand are based upon equally absurd grounds.
 Good Dr Sharpless also states with srandiose cloquenee that if his surmse is correct as regards the probable in- ability of the larger European nations to attack this country for several de- cades il is absurd 10 further increase our navy for the economical reason that by the time the nations might he in position to attack such war ves- sels as We might build during the in terval of their innoeuousness. would be antiduated or worn out and therefore would be a dead loss. Beautiful Let ns pin our faith To the spirit of kind ness and brotherly love which is the animating influence of nations that denounee treaties as scraps of paper and invoke the favor of God on the Christian task of slaughtering millions, Let Us by all means follow the beauti- ful precept of turning the other check and when we have been thoroughly well thrashed by some nation We can

The town of Craig, on Bergman ls- land, in Southeastern Alaska, has many distinctive features of it's own. Ac- cording to some of the Juneau resi- dents who claim to be posted, it is the anly town in the United states which is presided over and ruled entirely by forest officials. Craig is in the forest reserve created in Alaska. It was laid out by the forest officials and the side walks and other improvements were made under the direction of the forest officials. Occupants of lot pay an nuallv to the local forest agent B for d resident lot and $l0 for d lot occu- pied by a store The occupants make alI of their improvements So far as known. the forest service government works smoothly. There are no elections nn local politics and nothing to quarrel about concerning municipal matters The occupants know in advance just what they have to do to remain and there is no appeal The forest agent hv the terms of the lease can terminate
 il at any moment He is the sole au- thoritv and the town under this social cent one to live in.
