Some idea of the terrible loss and
enormous expense of the war IN
Europe during the past six months,
may be obtained from the following
figures, said to be reliable. The
cost to the several powers involved
is estimated at twenty billions of
dollars and 100000 men have
been killed, died Of disease or been
seriously wounded. The powers
engaged IN war are supposed TO be
Christian nations and each praying
to God to bless their armies, the
sovereign being inspired by greed,
commercialism, revenge and the &C
QUESTION of territory. The war is
a sad travesty on christianity and
they blaspheme the Infinite when
they ask Him to give them victory.

Bishop futile of St. Louis, in an
interview at San Antonio, Texas,
made the astonishing declaration
that God put evil into the world"
The good bishop no doubt received
a theological education and the
writer takes it for granted, that be
has read and studied the bible and
it is surprising that he should hold
the Infinite responsible for all the
evil-in the world. All God made
was good-very good, and He is to
holy to even behold iniquity. To
hold the Almighty responsible for
evil is, to the writer's way of think
ing, Holding the truth in unrighti-

from good-and all must admit,
that God is absolute good.

The interest taken by a certain
class of politicians in the farmers
it appears, is only for effect and to
humbug them into voting for men,
who care about as much for the
poor farmer" as his satanic ma
iesty cares for the welfare of their
souls. If reliable statistics ale to
be accepted, the farmers as whole,
do not make over 8 per cent. on
their investments and not to exceed
so per day over and above their
living expenses. The only money
the farmers have made is in the in
HANGED value of their real estate
holdings, the price of which has
been increased in many instances
greatly by reason of nearness of
markets and railroad advantages.

Recently, an investigation OF the
medical department of the Milwau-
kee school system was conducted
by a learned doctor of the New
York Clearing House for Mental
Detectives. According to the Mil
waukee Journal three children IN
the exceptional classes were found
by the learned doctor to be normal
mentally, and boy, more than or
dinarily bright, was classed as
mentally deficient" The principal
of the School for Defective Chill
dren, gave out written statement
saying there were no normal chill
dren in the school, and added, He
cites the case of one child, SO rest
less and unstable that his attention
could not be held long enough tor
a mental examination 70 be made.
Had the doctor consulted the teach-
er or the record book, he would
have learned that the patient was
dumb and that to this affection was
attributable his inattention. The
doctor did not discover this, al
though he examined the child for
nearly an hour" 1t is evident from
the above that either the medical
department of the Milwaukee school
system or the survey by the doctor
is open to criticism. This is sim
plv another illustration of unrell-
able diagnoses by experts. i"

In his letter from Milwaukee to
a number OF country papers pub
lished in the state, Ellis b. Usher
makes the following observation:
THE fact is that Wisconsin has
called a halt at the very brink of
state socialism. State socialism IS,
if possible, more dangerous to the
fundamental principles CT represen-
tative free government than despo-
tism, for it exchanges individual
official responsibility and orderly
government for an irresponsible
system of bureaucratic espionage.
That is what ails Wisconsin.
If the writer's memory is not at
fault, Mr.. Usher heretofore has
been in sympathy with those who
have favored the conditions which
have obtained in the state under
wild-eyed, rattledbrain progress
sives. Thousands of others in the
state are realizing that they have
been wofully imposed upon by men
whose only interest in the welfare
of the state centered in themselves
and office holding, however, much
it might cost the taxpayers, who
will now be relieved from the i'm
position of high taxes.

A great majority of the people of
this country will heartily approve
of the veto of the immigration Bill
which imposed a literacy test of
immigrants before their admission
into this country. Had there been
such a test in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, there would
be but few of US here to enjoy Am
erican citizenship. But what sur
prises US most of all is, that a dem
ocratic congress should have pass
ed such bill and sent it up to the
president for his approval or veto.

postpaid, is having a very wide circula-

to show that man was not redeemed from
a far-off place of eternal torture, but
quotes the Scriptures proving that he was
redeemed from the Grave at the cost of
his Redeemer's Life and that the Scrip
tural Hope. both for the Church and the
World, is resurrection hope based upon
the death and resurrection of Jesus. The
book is certainly worth the reading. The
