CHURCHES ARE FOR
 PRAYING IN ONLY

LONDON, Feb. 5.-"People do not go to church to knit, but to take part in the service" said the secretary of the Archbishop of Canterbury in re- ply to a question which has been put to almost every parson in England by patriotic women. In order that the work for the men in khaki might not be relaxed, it was proposed that the women be allowed to knit during ser mon time.
 People go to church to pray, sing, listen to the lessons and the sermon" continued the secretary. If nothing is going on, they had better be on their knees praying for the soldiers on the battlefield and for themselves.

SENDS SOLDIER TO
 SEE HIS MOTHER

LONDON, Feb. 5.--An instance of the human qualities of Lord Kitchener is related in Sunderland, where a sol dier was sent from the front at the Governments expense to attend his dying mother.
 The woman's one desire was to see har five sons, who are all in the army Four of them were in the English training camps and obtained leaves of absence through the offices of the Salvation Army. But the mother long ed to see the youngest, who was serv- ing in Flanders. Lord Kitchener was communicated with. The lad there upon received seven days furlough with ration and expense money, anc arrived in time to see his mother be fore she died.

PETROGRAD, Feb. 6.-The Ger man army in front of Warsaw is us- ing some new offensive machinery in very powerful land mines, which are set at night by sappers and exploded later by electricity. SO-called "tOr- pedoes" and improved hand grenades, are also used
 The tOrpedoes are really bombs of formidable size, which explode on contact and spread death-dealing frag- ments of jagged iron, at the same time poisining the air twenty yards around with a deadly gas. These are hurled silently from a sort of ballista or catapult, which has useful range of about 15O feet.
 The hand grenades resemble in ap- pearance large sky rocket. A tin canister with pointed head is fixed on a stick or handle about two feet long. The canister is filled with bullets and an explosive charge fired by contact on the pointed head. The grenade IS thrown by hand, the stick serving both as a handle and as a tail which rn- sures the pointed head striking first and exploding the contents. They are used in infantry charges during the few moments when the rifles cease firing and the bayonets are not yet within striking distance.

TRADITION IN THE ARMY.

Hon. Lindley M Garrison, secre-
tary Of war, delivered an address of
Exceptional merit to the recent grad
iuatlng class at West Point from
which the following extract is taken:
1T is well nigh impossible to draw
a broad line Of demarkation between
what Is actually taught and that
which is imbibed through tradition;
and 1t is likewise extremely difficult
to indicate the actual difference of the
two things upon us. That which is
acquired through the intellect by
study is largely given its future eff
feet through intellectual operation;
whereas what comes to us by tradi-
ton, IL we are fallow ground and it
takes root, becomes like instinct or
second nature. 1t is because of this
that traditions are of such vast i'm
portance in our lives. Whatever a
man does under great stress at a time
of imminent crisis can scarcely ever
be the result of generalization and de-
! liberation at the instant of action; II
is almost always the product Of his
instinct or second nature; that is to
say, 1t Is his answer in action of all
that he has done and been up to that
You have undertaken a great re-
sponsibility. You may be called upon
at any time TO demonstrate your
worth; and upon your conduct may
depend issues OF vital moment to
your country. You can only be sure
that you will worthily and success
fully meet such responsibilities If you
have entered on your career in the
proper spirit II you have become
imbued with the proper traditions.
|. Wherever the proper tradi-
lions OF the service are known to the
people. the service Is held IN the high
est admiration and regard. I concede
that the ideal which You must ever
keep before you is so high, and the
incidents Of everyday life are so d.
lverting, and the opportunity to show
your metal occurs so seldom. that II
is difficult not to permit some tarnish
to appear and to hold yourself so
steadfast that you are not diverted.
But II you do not appreciate all this
and win through notwithstanding all
this, then II were much better that
You had never undertaken that which
was above your capacity.

canoe, the force OF the traditions that

BoRAH AND THE PRESIDENCY.

At the meeting of the state COM
mittee last week at Boise Senator
Borah was hailed as the next presi-
dent of the United States and his
presence created much enthusiasm
The senator himself insists that he
is not candidate, but in spite of his
attitude he is recognized in all parts
of the country as strong possibility
|Singularly enough, his candidacy is
looked upon with more favor In the
east than in the west. This is not due
to the absence of popularity of the
senator west of the Mississippi river
or to a lack of appreciation of his
ability, but rather to the inability OF
the people of the west to bring them
selves to consider seriously the can
didacy of any man from a sparsely
settled state of the far west, With
flew exceptions the candidates for
president have been chosen from the
|populous states of the east as a means
of securing the large electoral vote OF
Those states, and it is difficult for
those who have watched this proceed
ure to believe that 1t will be broken
in the case of Senator Borah. But
political precedents count for less
these days than ever before and
time honored rules and customs have
Ibeen ruthlessly brushed aside. A
close examination OF the political sit
|uation throughout the country will
therefore disclose that there is d
strong disposition among a large ele-
ment OF the republican party to ig-
more the custom of selecting candi-
date from the populous east, and sell
ect candidate on his merits regard
less OF the number Of electoral votes
cast by the state from which he
comes.
The fact that Senator Borah was
an active progressive, but refused 10
leave the republican party in 1912
nlacas him In a strong nosition for
the nomination, particularly II 1t de-
velopes that neither the so-called

PROHIBITION, THEN WHAT
(Oregonian)

(Oregonian)
I Prohibition has been charged with
many evil effects, but some new one
comes to light nearly every day The
latest accusation is that it has caus-
ed the price of fresh beef to advance
The explanation given by packers t
the New York World Is that prohibit
ton has hurt the distilleries to such
an extent that there is not enough
whisky refuse to fatten the usua
number of cattle in the middle west,
Still the prohibitionlsts can derive
some comfort from the statement in
asmuch as 1t tends to destroy the ar
gument that just as much IL not more
whisky is consumed under prohibition
as under the liquor license policy. Fur
thermore, the inquiry naturally arises
as to what becomes of the grain that
would otherwise have gone to the dis
tilleries. It seems indisputable that
widespread prohibition will create eco
nomic problems as result Of the sur
render of public revenues and the d.
version to other uses of the materials
that now 60 into alcoholic liquors.
There Is the familiar argument that
the people will be more prosperous un-
der prohibition. II is comforting
thought and we shall learn before
long In Oregon whether II Is to be re-
lied upon Possibly, too, the indus
trial problems may be safely left to
work out their own salvation. Hop
fields will grow something else and

quantities or give MS cheaper corn

SMITH COMING IN SEPTEMBER.

Congressman Addison T. Smith will
vislt Shosnone county in september,
and hopes to be able to spend several
days meeting old friends and making
new ones. and generally faIniliarizing
himself with the desires of the peo-
pie of this county in the matter OIL
legislation. That Is the way Mr.
Smith is spending his vacation. As
a representative of the people In con-
gress, he feels that he should keep IN
as close touch with his constituents
as possible, and he therefore expects
to visit every county in the state be-
fore congress assemblies in December.
In this way he is enabled to discuss
matters of interest to the people OF
the state with the people direct, anu
also to place his services at their dis
posal In matters in which they are
personally concerned in the various
departments at Washington.
Mr. Smiths work in congress has
won the cordial commentator of tn
people Of the state. In one of his
campaign addresses he stated that ii
elected he would not go to the ma
ttonal capital with the expectation OF
changing the constitution of the Unit
ed States, but that he would go with
the firm determination to serve the
interests of the people who sent him
there. That he has accomplished that
purpose is conceded by all who have
watched his work. He has introduced
and secured the passage of amend
ments to the land laws that have
proved of inestimable benefit not only
to the people of Idaho, of the public
land states generally, and many
homesteaders and prospectors can
vouch for his prompt and efficient ac-
tion in looking after their personal in
terests in the interior department
Mr.. Smith is a tireless worker, anc
no request comes to him from con
lstituent that does not receive promp
Iattention. Because of his willingness
to assist those who have business be.
fore the various departments, he has
an enormous correspondence, all O.
which receives careful attention an(
requires the services of several stem.
ographers. Mr. Smith is in the full
est sense a representative of the PEG
ple of Idaho. and it is pleasing t.
note that there is an abundance o
evldence that his work is recognized
and appreciated.

Under such a condition. which is al
most certain to exist, Senator Borah
would certainly be an acceptable can

that the nomination must go to the

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON WOMAN
SUFFRAGE.
New York SUM


The letter on woman suffrage by
Cardinal Gibbons, and the accompany
ing statement by which he enlarges
and enforces it, represent the conser-
vative, some might say "the mediae-
val" view, the old and long religious
view. Let us hear this illustrious
churchman, uttering ancient opinions
which may or may not be approved by
the moderns, but which must have a
wide echo in this country and the rest
of the world:
Woman Is queen indeed, but her
empire is the domestic kingdom. The
greatest political triumphs she would
achieve in public life fade into insig-
nihcance compared with the serene
glory which radiates from the domes-
tic shrine and which she illumines and
warns by her conjugal and motherly
virtues. If she is ambitious of the
dual empire of public and private life
then like the tabled dog beholding hi
image in the water, she will lose both
she will fall from the lofty pedestal
where nature and Christianity have
placed her and will fail to grasp the
sceptre of political authority from the
strong hand Of her male competitor
Though woman is debarred from
voting she brings into the world and
rocks the cradle of the nations future
citizens. She rears and moulds the
character of those who are to be thu
future rulers and statesmen, the he
roes and benefactors of the country
Surely this is glory enough for her"
