AS to be expected, Governor Alex
ander is indulging in sophistry in
his vociferous efforts to lay claim
to having saved the state a million
dollars.
The million dollar mystery" has
not been solved, notwithstanding the
governors frantic efforts to make
himself out the financial Moses of
the state.
The total amount CT the legisla-
tive appropriation for 1913-1914 was
S2,4O5, 2S6.6S. The total amount Of
legislative appropriation for 1916
1916 was $2,159 ,476.70.
The legislature of 1913-1914, au-
thorized to be raised by taxation
81 100000 which with the income of
the state was sufficient to meet the
appropriation, for the two years, of
$2,405 ,2S6.6S. The Haines admins
tration met its obligations.
Now then, the legislature of 1915
authorized to be raised. by taxation
for the biennial period of 1915-1916,
81 100000, which with the income of
the state would not equal the sum
of $2,153,476.7O within from 100000
to 100000. Governor Alexander
held club over the legislature and
repeatedly informed the members of
the legislature that if the amount
authorized to be raised by the legis-
lature for state purposes was not
reduced to 81 100000 he would con-
vene an extra session of the legis-
lature and forced the Legislature in
that way to his terms.
Although the state board of equal
ization in 1915 was authorized to
raise $750,OOO by taxation to meet
the running expenses of the state,
Governor Alexander insisted that
100000 would be sufficient. He de-
clared that he had. gone thoroughly
into the matter and that he was
convinced that 100000 would be suf-
ficient to meet the running expenses
of the state together with its in
come The board of equalization was
up against this proposition, either to
accept the figures as insisted upon
by the governor, or become thew ctim
of his claim that $4,000 more was
being raised by taxation in the
state than was necessary.
In 1916 instead of raising $75O,OOO
as authorized by the legislature, the
state board of equalization levied
$565,000 to be raised from state
taxes, which made the total for the
two years to be raised for state
taxes, S1,265,000 instead of $780,
900 which the legislature had au-
thorized the state to raise for state
purposes.
For the year and nine months of
1915-1916, the receipts from sundry
sources for state purposes other than
the amount raised by tax levy, was
$40 1871, which with the 81 ,265, 200
raised by taxation, made total of
81, 805, 381.
For one year and nine months
there has been expended by the state
81, $685. 64.62, and we have seen that
we have raised by taxation and by
receipts from other sources for the

Donizetti and Coffee.

Donizetti. composer of Lucia di
Lammermoor." sought inspiration in
the coffeepot. 1t would be interest
ing to know accurately the total
amount of coffee this erratic genius
managed to consume during his short
career. 1t was his habit to shut him
self up in his room with writing ma
terials and three or four coffeepots
full of steaming coffee. When these
were emptied he ordered in three or
four more and, these disposed Of in
their turn. another three or four. His
biographer says that the amount of
coffee he drank was fabulous" and
one can well believe it. The effect on
his once fine constitution was deplor-
able. His face shriveled and turned
yellow, his lips became black, and with
the inevitable breakdown of his nerv-
GUS system his genius fell rapidly into
premature decay.

Wealth of Association.
Cultivated men and women have al

without definite loss to our civilization.
The spoken word can never supplant
the written word. and in fact the pres

print for speech Nor can reading in
public places take the place of reading

AWAIT BERL|N'S
REPLY TO Note
Tension Over LuSitania Issue
Is Strong.
FINAL TERMS MADE KNOWN
Severance of Diplomatic Relations
Will BE Inevitable, It Is Believed, If
Germany Replys Unfavorably to De-
mands of the United States.

Washington, Jan. Extension over
in administration circles in the abb
sence of official confirmation of press
reports from Berlin that Germany is
preparing to send to the United States
new note which will meet the de-
mands of the American government.
That the German embassy has like
wise received nothing to substantiate
these reports was indicated by the
fact that Count Won Bernstorff is still
absent from Washington. Attaches of
the embassy express the opinion that
nothing definite as to the position of
the Berlin government is likely to
reach Washington before the end of
the week.
Secretary Lansing is keeping in
touch by telegraph with President
Wilson, and the fact that the presi-
dents warning to the public in
speeches appear to be taking on a
graver aspect, is accepted in official
circles here as meaning that the mes
odStS ne StlS HUN otCIttdly Lam
sing are not reassuring.
In state department quarters the
opinion is expressed that before the
end of another week it will be def
nitely shown whether Germany is to
give the disavowal demanded or is
willing that there should be sever
ance of diplomatic relations between
the two countries. Officials here con
tinue to insist that such a severance
would be inevitable if the next reply
from Berlin is unfavorable.
Count Won Bernstorff is not expect
ed to confer with Mr.. Lansing again
before Friday. BY that time it is
said he expects to receive from his
government an answer to the last pro
posals from Mr. Lansing, calling on
Germany for a definite reply to the
demands for a disavowal. On that
same day the president is expected
back in Washington and will assume
charge of the situation.
The state department denied the
receipt of any dispatches from Colonel
E. NJ. House, the presidents personal
envoy to the belligerent capitals of
Europe, who is reported in press re-
ports to have left Berlin with assur-
ances from the German authorities
that a satisfactory note will be sent
to the United States.

law in the sense just now referred to,
has broader application than just
the laws of living laid down in the
old testament 1t means any source
from which man learns about his
duty TO God and men. These sources
of law or light on ones duties, are
commonly set down under three
heads.
1.-The light that comes from na-
ture. That nature does, in its own
way, speak to us about God, is shown
in the scriptures. This source of
light will not here be discussed, be-
cause it really is included under the
next head.
2. The light that comes from the
conscience. Every man is endowed
with a conscience. God gave it to
him. 1t is intended to guide him in
his living. When he does wrong it
tells him so. In Rom. 2:l2-16 Paul
tells US about the light that is given
by the conscience. 1t will be noted
that lie is speaking about the gem
tiles. They we're all people who were
not jews. These gentiles knew moth
ing about the law laid down in the
old testament. They correspond
with what we mean when we speak
of the heather. Now, of these gen.
tiles, or heather, Paul says: For as
many as have sinned without law
shall also perish without law, and as
many as have sinned under the law
shall also be judged by the law. For
not the hearers of the law are just
before God but the doers of the law
shall be justified. For when the gen.
tiles which have not the law, do by
nature the things of the law, these
having not the law, are law unto
themselves, which show the work
of the law written in their hearts,
their conscience also bearing witness,
and their thoughts the meanwhile
] accusing or else excusing one another;
in the day when God will judge the
secrets of men by Jesus Christ ac-
cording to my gospel BY this Paul
means that those who have never
had the Scriptures will not be held
responsible for not keeping the teach
ing of the Scripture, but that they
will be held responsible for what
they know because OF their wiser
consciousness.
). Then there is the light that
comes from Scripture of course

has spoken Then if one who has

Text-Acts 4-12, neither is there
salvation for there's none other name
under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.
Introduction: The salvation of the
soul is by far the most important
subject ever considered by human be-
ing not only does it affect his earthly
welfare, but it decides what the end
less ages of eternity will be to him.
And so it is more important than
getting an education, choosing bus
iness, getting married, or any thing
else. No man can afford to make a
mistake about his salvation. The BIZ
bic teaches US and our own common
sense ought TO teach US that the mat
ter of salvation of the soul is that to
which every one should give atten-
tion first. Seek ye first the king
dom of God, and his righteousness, !"
is the teaching of Jesus the Christ.
Now, there is just one true text of
religion, and that book is the bible.
and it was written to tell US about
salvation.
That is its one purpose. 1t is a
text book of religion, because God
gave US the book. He, of course, tells
the truth about salvation in this text
book which he has given to US. A
proper study of the bible, with a
proper understanding of its teachings,
reveals a few fundamental facts.
The bible shows that sin has ruin
ed all men and caused them to be
lost. 1t shows that no man can save
himself, therefore God sent Christ
into the world to save these lost sim
ners. Now let US consider some of
the reasons why man cannot be
saved without Christ.
1. To be saved without Christ
would require that a man should live
perfect life-that is, life without
a single sin. BY this is meant that
he would have to live up to all the
light that he has. He would have to
do the very best that he knew. If
he could do this, and did il. then per
haps he could be saved. without
Christ. This may be inferred from
Paul's language Rom. 5:13,% Sin is not
imputed where there is no law By
law is meant that which throws lig 1t
on ones duties, tells him what he
ought to do, or not TO do. In Rom
5:l3 Paul is probably meaning the old
testament teachings-the laws which
God gave to the Hebrew people. But
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1916-12-23

Christ is found in this thought, viz:
If men could be saved without Christ,
why should Christ have come at allp
Surely God would not have so humil-
lated his son, and caused him to suff-
er as he did, If there was any other
way by which they could of been
saved. That the suffering of Christ
was necessary to the salvation of men
is shown in the request, or prayer
that Christ made to God in Gethse-
name, the night before his death
At that time Christ asked his heav-
emily Father that if it was possible to
let him go free of drinking the bitter
cup. But there was no other way,
and so on the morrow Christ tasted
plain that no man now, or ever in
the worlds history, in Christian land,
or heathen darkness, can possible be
saved without Christ Every man
should be able to give a reason for
the hope that is in him; and 1 do
give treason for his hope beyond the
grave, who is stranger to the blood
of Christ. Oh, may God make US
loyal to Christi
My friends you will need him some
day. You will need him when you
come to cross the swelling tide of
Jordon. May he always find you
trusting, watchful and ready. ",
