SPLENDID LECTURE ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

a fairly large crowd was at the
Bradley Opera House last night TO
hear Mr.. Charles I. Ohrenstein, C.S.B.,
lecture on Christian Science. Then.
were representatives present from
many parts of the county, including
Deeth, Charleston. Lamoille, and South
Fork. II was undoubtedly the best lee.
ture OF the kind ever heard here, and
those who heard II were given much
food for thought
Mr.. Ohrenstein proved himself a
deep thinker. and he is possessed of a
thorough knowledge OF the scriptures
His analysis OF the many passages he
quoted gave his hearers many beauti
ful thoughts to dwell upon.
Mr.. J. c. Doughty presided at the
meeting, and in introducing the speak.
er he said in part:
II am here for the purpose OF intro.
ducing a speaker who will explain to
you the tenots and philosophy OF his
church. Who will tell us why he is O
member and what the membership or
study OF his faith holds out to the
initiated. While my sympathles and
support have been with the Christian
Science Church. yet am not n mem.
ber of the Society.
"As an advocate OF the Christian
Science faith | believe that every
church should have Its day in court
and tell the public what is best In their
religion, so that the public may judge
wisely and intelligently. We can tell
you many things Of the greatness and
power of God. Our experience has
confirmed Il and that experience has
taught us many OF the beauties of God.
lIness as exemplified by this faith. We
feel that Christianity cannot go hand
in hand with ain, sickness and death.
That one cannot tolerate the other.
That sin, sickness or death is the re.
suit OF disordered mortal mind while
happiness or success is the product
of the human mind guided by the Di.

MISSOURI JUDGE
RULES ON 8-HOUR
ADAMSON BILL
ADMINISTRATION WILL FRAME
NEW LAW BEFORE JANUARY. 4
IF DECISION is UPHELD BY THE
U. S. SUPREME COURT.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 22.-Fed-
eral Judge w. d. Hook OF the district
court here today ruled that the Adam.
son S-hour law was unconstitutional
This decision was rendered In the case
on motion of the government to dis.
miss an Injunction suit brought by the
receivers of the Missouri, Oklahoma &
Gulf Railroad against the government
and Railroad Brotherhoods, to block
the law from going into effect.
This decision is point favoring the
administration and means that It will
be given an immediate hearing before
the United States Supreme Court.
Judge Hook stipulated that the govern.
ment might appeal before December
4th, so that a final decision might be
reached before the first of the year.
Had Judge Hook ruled that the law
was constitutional, the railroad attor
neys might have caused an indefinite
delay. If the United States Supreme
Court, however. sustains the decision
or Judge Hook, President Wilson will
have time to frame a new bill, making
the law right and constitutional. The
new measure will then be rushed
through congress.
Some OF the administration officials
believe that President Wilson Will ask
congress to amend the Adamson law
before II comes TO the United States
Supreme Court. They believe that the
case cannot be heard before the first
Of the year.

CHOOSING SITE FOR
THE HIGH SCHOOL

The High School Board has before
it the task of securing suitable loca.
tion for the proposed county high
school. Several locations have been
suggested. One on the hill in the
northwest part of town, one on the ex-
treme east end OF Court street. the site
where the present building stands, and
the old university grounds, upon which
the county hospital now stands
AS an economic proposition and as
the most suitable place, the Indepen-
dent favors the old university ground.
The building viii here stand on an
best OF advantage. it will be sufficient
ly isolated to serve the best purposes,
and yet close in to the center of popu-
lation, and last but not least. the plot
contains sufficient ground to accom-.
modate any demands which might
arise in years to come. There are be.
tween eight and ten acres In the plot.
The county hospital building Is in a

ranged. 1t was built for q school build
ing, and the plan is in no way suitable
for the hospital purposes.
If the Board of County Commission
ers consent TO this plot being used for
the new high school, far better loca.
tion can be secured for hospital pur.
poses. II Is possible the next legisla.
ture will abolish the Industrial Home,
and II this Is done that place would
make an ideal location for a hospital
and poor farm. There Is no doubt that
1t could be purchased at a very low
figure. Another splendid location is
the Hot Springs. a mile and one-half
south of Elko. This place could be
purchased reasonably. and 1t would be
an ideal location.

then, ask ourselves whether any prac.
teal system of education exists which
teaches how we may live, be we'll, free,
prosperous, and happy? More than
this, since the subject we are TO dis.
cuss is religion, may not we further
ask whether the religion OF Jesus
/ Christ provides such a system and the
correct Interpretation OF II, the educa.
ton capable Of accomplishing the de
sired results?
Jesus Mission.
What Jesus came to do. what he
taught, did. and lived, may well be
taken as his mission. What was this
mission?
Jesus came to preach the gospel OF
good news to the poor He came to
heal. to llberate, to destroy the opera
tions OF evil of every kind In human
experience. 10 confer abundant life as
a result of the knowledge OF God which
he taught, and TO usher in an era ac.
Ceptable to God, in which God should
be accorded all power and reign over
all absolutely and completely. Did he
fulfill this mission?
Jesus preached very little, but did q
great deal. The gospels show this.
From boyhood he was about his Faith.
OF teaching by example as we'll as by
precept what God is, what God does,
and how God does what He does. In
practice his teachings; and his imme-
cause OF his knowledge OF their under.
providing the tax money in the draft OF
fishes, he showed that God provides
for the most simple and common
needs. In healing a few sick people
in Nazareth, he showed that spiritual
means should be sought and applied
not only in extreme cases but in minor
ailments. In restoring sight to the
blind, speech to the dumb, hearing TO
the deaf, In healing leprosy, epilepsy.
etc, he showed that God "healeth all
thy diseases" and that none are incur
able to Him. In loosinE the woman
from the evil which had bound her
many years, he showed the emancipat.
ing power Of God, and in raising Lag.
arus from the grave. he showed that
God does give life. and that He gives
II abundantly.

Jesus do these works through ignor.

WOULD HAVE
 AVENGED SINKING

YOUNGSTOWN. O.. Oct. 23.-- Charles Evans Hughes came out Dore boldly today in a speech on the ques- tion of the Lus;tania than at any otn- CT period of the campaign. He em- phasized what he believed to be the rights of Americans il relation to this war and in answering McAdOo's challenge to say what he would have done in the Lusitanta case he declai- ed that he meant what he said al Louisville-he would have made good his warning to Germany.
 This is taken to m ,an that he would have declared war and the general opinion is that he has fallen into the trap laid for him by McAdoo and ha, alienated the prO-German vote finally.
 For some time back, the papers state, the pro-German vote has not been sure for the Republican candi- date because of the support of him by Roosevelt, who is regarded as tha most rabid pro-English statesman ever appearing on platform. and Hughes declaration now in relation 10 the Lusitania incident is supposed to mean that he is making no effort to secure the pro-German support.

Back of "DRY'S" ? FOES OF LABOR Supply prohibitionists
 With Funds.
By Whidden Graham.

The Anti-Saloon League and other prohibition organizations spend at least two million dollars annually in their agitation for sumptuary laws. Where does this money come from?
 Prohibition professes to be move ment in the interest of the working classes. Did the corporation owners who are putting up the, funds for the drys ever do anything in the interest of labor?
 When the demand for social re- form legislation grows so strong that State legislatures and Congress must deal with 1t, the Prohibition question is always pushed to the front as an is- sue of the day. Have you any Idea why this happens?
 Many of the big moneyed men who are boosting Prohibition have always opposed organized labor. Do you sup. pose that they would give up so liD- erally if they didn't think that they are choking off legislation that might give their employees square deal?
 The Prohibitionists tell the people that drink is the cause of poverty, low wages, long hours, child-labor, bad housing conditions. etc. Of course this isn't true, but doesn't 1t look as though they are afraid that the work rs will find out the real cause of these evils?
 When an attempt was made in the New York State legislature at it's re- cent session to amend the labor laws so as to allow cannery owners to work their women employees longer hours, were in many instances the same men who voted for prohibition. Does this fact suggest anything to you?
 Prohibition is essentially class leg islation, as the rich employers can i'm port liquors from wet" states or for cign countries for their own use. Have you noticed any of the corporation magnates who denounce as "class leg. islation" laws to promote the welfare of labor, say anything against depriv. ing the working classes of a harmful pleasure?
 Hundreds of thousands of men would be thrown out of work if the Probitionists had their way. This would make more competition fol jobs, and help keep wages down. Is this why the big employers are keep ing the Prohibition agitation alive:
 Autocratic Russia suppresses thu sale of liquor as a war measure. Free America is asked to take a similar course in time of peace. Will fiftecr million American workers submit tt the dictation of the petty czars of ths Anti-Saloon League?
 The PrOhibitionists say that if tht workers are forced into giving up al coholic beverages they will become more efficient and able to work hard CT? This would be a fine thing fol the employers. who would make big ger profits, but what does organized labor think about it?-Adv.
