esteemed Pres. Wilson.-D. H. Fisk.
WILSON AND SCRIPTURES
Wilson was a school teacher, then
college president whose business it
is to preach as well as teach. Being
a Presbyterian, he read the scriptures
occasionally and discovered the Ser
mon on the Mount. He ran across
the verse that reads: cit is said Of
old an eye for an eye and tooth for
a tooth, but 1 say unto you resist not
evil" The speaker then went on to
Illustrate what he meant by saying
if a man strike you on the right
cheek turn the other also, etc. This
was a sumner to our president, so he
toned it down to mean that more
could be accomplished by moral
means than by force.
After becoming president our mails
were rifled, goods destroyed and citi-
zens blown to pieces by the beIli-
gerents. He was called to put his in
depreciation in force. He said: There
is such thing as being too proud to
fight" which is in accordance with
his moral power supremacy idea. The
Republicans, and especially Roose-
welt, who had discovered the ten
commandments, but not the Sermon
on the Mount, took Wilson to task
for his anti-fght attitude. The peo-
pie in general had no use for the Ser
mon on the Mount on the fight ques-
ton except on Sundays. Wilson, find
ing he was greatly Outnumbered,
suddenly saw a great light" and
went in for preparedness and talked
fight, thus saving his administration
from humiliation and possible defeat.
Now the Republicans are claiming he
might return to his scTiptural views,
which doesn't give him credit for the
astuteness he displayed in his
change. The reVisers of our scrip
lures are to blame. They should

CORRUPT POLITICAL PRAC-
TICE.-A few men contribute the
major part of the campaign funds Of
both political parties, which total
about S1,OOO,OOO to each party. No
tice the equality. And so when II
men of the Republican and Is men
of the Democratic party contribute
an average of $4,000 each, what in
ference is to be drawn from this gen
erOsity of the profit-makers. Why,
it is that they have special privileges
and that they are paying for the con-
tinUance of these privileges.
If equality is a principle recognized
by us, then according to the present
standards, to be patriotic, one must
contribute $4,000 year. It is Priv
ilege saying: We can rule by the use
of money and we are willing to pay
for our privileges. 1t is the power Of
money coUnteraCting the influence
Of the personality of democracy.
We know it is wrong. And the
contributors should be slapped and
slapped hard. If they were not so
thick-skinned they would be asham-
ed. Perhaps they are. Such indi-
viduaI practice should be publicly de-
clared foul and corrupt practice.
It is an insult to every democratic
and republican principle of equality.

ELATED OVER
Project PLANS
Caldwell Business Men Be-
lieve Black Canyon Rec
lamation Work Will Prove
Of Great Benefit to City.

Caldwell, Dec. 25.-That the reclama-
ton of the Black Canyon irrigation
project. which is now assured, Is of
vast Importance to this city and will
give an immediate impetus to its
growth and progress is the consensus
Of opinion of business and professional
men of this city. The greater part Of
$4,000 acres which is to be brought into
cultivation is tributary to this city and
is as fine land as can be found in the
entire state. The reclamation Of this
vast area of land undoubtedly means "a
great expansion Of the trade territory
of this city and will when placed in
active agricultural operation make the
city one of the greatest agricultural and
livestock centers of the west.
In commenting upon the import OF
the reclamation of the tract to the city,
Phil Smith, one of the leading real
estate dealers, today said: Naturally
we people Of Caldwell are highly elated
over the news that decision has been
reaNhed by the government to reclaim
this vast area of land for the tract Is
tributary to this city and as a conse-
quence insures the continued growth
and progress Of our city. 1t will natur-
ally expand our trade territory and
place our city well to the front as one
of the greatest agricultural and live
stock centers in the entire west"

Chicago Judge Rules That

Enjoy Ease While Wives
Hustle.

New York, Dec. 25.--A special dis
patch from Chicago to the World says:
No more pinochle in the Bridewell with
the "In Bad Club" No more peaceful
and comfortable hours in Jail for the
husband while the wife hustles to
keep up with the cost of living.
Judge Stalk Of the court Of domes-
tie relations DEGREES that husbands
temporarily in disgrace must buckle
down and do the work while their
wives get the pay.
"lf we had place to send them to
as sort of temporary boarding house
while we continue their cases for 80
days" the Judge says, "it would save
the community money and at the same
time make it possible for them to sup
port their families.
"A great number of the men who
come into the court of domestic rela-
lions are in disgrace because they have
taken to drink. Their wives refuse to
allow them to return until they have
shown a disposition to reform. In the
meantime they have no place to go,
and we frequently send them to the
BrideWell.
1T Is our plan to place probation
officer in charge of these men and re-
port to the court. The officer could
also act as the intermediary between
husbands and wives in the payment of
support money"
