HALLOWEEN FRANKS

Tho Gazette few days ago sug-
oasted the authorities to take pre-
caut;ons to prevent disorder next
Tuesday night, Halloween. We have
M objection to young and old anus
inc themselves to their hearts con
tent provided they do SO at ene'.
own expense and not by annoying
others or playing practical Jokes
which cost their victims money IN
the way of repairs to property ee.
Halloween night is a gala oc-
casion, and young and old, wearing
masks and attired in grotesque cos
tunes may be expected on the street.
hut there is no reason why such per-
formances cannot be carried on in
good humor.
The police authorities of Wash
ington have placed ban upon every
thing calculated to annoy quiet PEG
nile on the occasion. They are de-
termincd to make a safe and sane
night of Halloween.
The removal of signs and front
gates, the use of tick-tacks and put
ty blowers, and similar pranks vii
be prohibited as will also flour
throwing.
The spirit of rowdyism which pre-
vailed- among the boys and young
nsa &, the capital city on Halloween
years ago has gradually died
boys and young folks Of
ngton nowadays don't indulge
~ kdyish pranks of years ago.
oery is tendency now to celebrate
iz;e light al masqucrades or other
III gatherings in an orderly man
srei.

REPUBLICANS ANXIOUS

Notwithstanding the braggadocla
of the adherents Of candidate
Hughes, there are many indications
to show that they are by no means
certain of the election of the for
mer justice. Betting on the candl-
dates was again on even money in
New York yesterday. The repno-
licans are anxious for Ohio at pres
ent.
Perhaps the best evidence of the
Wilson strength in Ohio is to be
found in the fright which has seized
the Republican leaders in the state.
The managers of the Hughes cam
paign are in condition of near
panic. They are appealing franti-
cally to the National Committee for
money, for speakers and for any
thing else that might possibly save
the situation.
Myron T. Rerrick, late Ambassa-
dor to Paris and Republican nomi-
nee for the United States Senate,
went to New York last week to get
money. He is reported to have told
the committee that 100000 was
necessary to deliver the State to
Hughes.

AN OFT REPEATED QUESTION

Since the close Of the recent evan
eclical campaign in Alexandra
many whose eyes have been opened
to the joys of the spiritua. life are
asking questions concerning the
meaning of this and that statement
of TIE Bible. A few are anxious con-
corning some passages, and it doubt
less will be the pleasant duty OF
those who have made the Bible a
study to assist any who are enter
ing into the spirit of the new life.
Probably the query most often pro-
pounded is this: 'sWhat is the sin
against the Holy Ghost?" and what
docssPaul mean when he tells limo
thy tf people, whose conscienees are
searM ovet;Mith a hot iron?
Abbut month ago "a man in the
northern section Of the country
brooded over these passages until
he finally put an end TO his life.
The charred remains of Frank Pes
chi were found near Upper Marlboro,
Nd, this week. 1t is now knoan
that he was not murdered and his
body burned, as had been at, FIRST
supposed but that he offered himself

subjects are Christians, but OF a
class who see through glass dark-
Iy;. they ask themselves the question,
s.HaYe ] committed the anpardo n
able SIM"
It may be safe TO say that those
who ask this question or manifest
any uneasiness concerning it, are
not guilty of this serious Offence.
The fact that they ask the question
in prirna facie evidence that they are
innocent.
A passage in the Pilgrim Progress,
where the Interpreter shows Chris
tian man in an iron cage for whom
there is no hope of salvation, ne hav-
ing resisted the Spirit all his llfe'
adds greatly to the distress OF many
vell-meaning disciples. But hsten.
The man is represented as realizing
his condition, which shows his con-
science was not scared over with
hot iron. Every reader does not
agree with Bunyan in this part OF
his allegory.
However, let us examine this mat
ter and see if what we believe to be
greatly misunderstood subject can
not be set at rest.
After Christ had ordained the
twelve Apostles and sent them
forth to preach and to perform M
racles by casting out demons, we
read in the book of Mark chapter
iii. verses 81 to 80 as follows:
And when his friends heard Of it.
they went out to lay hold on him;
for they said He is beside himself J.
And the scrihes which came down
from Jerusalem said FTe hath Beei'
| zehub. and by the prince Of deviis
castetb he out devils. And he called
them unto him; and said unto them ~
| narnhles, How can Satan cast -ou'
| satano And If a kingdom be divided
against itself that Kingdom cannes
stand. And if house he DIVIDED
| against itself: that house canno'
/ stand. And il Satan rise up aSalns
| himself, and be divided he cannon
! stand: hut hath an end. No man ca:
! enter into Il strong mans mousse, an
| spoil his goods; except he will hrs
J bind ths. strong man: and then Et
will spoil his house. Verify I say unit:
| YOU: All sins shall he forgiven uIt'
the sons Of men, and blasphemies
| whcrewith soever they shall BIAS
/ nherne: But he that shall blasphem'
| against the Holy Ghost hath never
forgiveness. bat is in danger oil
eternal damnation: because they sa'H'
! He hath an unclean spirit
Now observe. The words because
thew said he hath a devil" or demon
shows that this awful condemnation
was intended for those who stood
bv and witnessed the miracle OF
casting out the unclean spirits, but
who were ready to ascribe the power
Ito the devil instead of Christ, and
not for those in future ages who
are anxious concerning their souls.
! Hence disciples who may be un-
easy over this matter can rest as
sured that these words were not IN
tended for them, as they never had
the audacity to utter such BIAS
l
phemy had they the opportunity.
The Son of Man is not on the
earth at present performing miracles
! and if the present generation were
disposed to attribute his powers to
/! his satanic majesty they have no
opportunity to do so.
The people against whom he spoke
went away unconcerned and without
realizing the enormity OF their IN
suit to high heaven.

DRIVES RABBIT IN TRAP

There are many successful
trappers in this section, but Mr..
Wash Rowton, one of our oldest
citizens, takes the cake along this
line. Mr.. RowtOn'S garden has
been attacked frequently of late
by rabbits and he has sworn ven-
geance on the pest. n few morn
ings ago, according to Mr.. Row
ton. he spied a rabbit in the gar
den and he secured steel trap.
Slipping us close to Mr.. Hare, he
set the trap and retreated. Get
ting around on the opposite side
of the rabbit. he then charged,
driving Bunny into the trap. The
performance was accomplished
in about two minutes.
