1HE PRESS AND THE CHURCH.
A Bangor Clergyman Who Believes. in
Newspaper Advertising.
.Ranpor Daily News

Rev. H. E. Dunnack, pastor of the
Grace M. E. church, Bangor, believes
that it pays to advertise. AS is we'll
known he uses space in the local papers
to call attention to the services and ac-
tivities of his church. In discussing this
phase of church work, Mr.. Dunnack says:
"Why not? Where would one find a
safer, more conservative method of pub
licity? And, if it lacks in dignity, | fail
to see why.
The press is always ready to cooper
ate with the church. Just now, for ex-
ample, nearly all of the great denomina-
tions are striving to secure pensions for
retired clergymen. Hundreds of colu ms
have been devoted to furthering this
cause, not only in New England, but
throughout the country. if the pension
system does come, and prospect for it
now seem bright, it will be due in large
measure to the generous aid and whole
souled sympathy of the daily papers.
Here, then, is one great reason why
church services should be advertised
cooperation. The press has co-operated
with the church and the church should be
willing to cooperate with the press.
Again, the press ranks with the IL
tional factor. 1t educates for good or Ill;
and the more religion we can instil into
its columns, the greater, of course, its
power for good. Finally, it is the most
successful medium of publicity in all the
world. We live in an age in which poll
tics and business and thousand other
things call feverishly for attention. In
the turmoil of our modern life the voice
of the church should be heard. And it
must make itself heard by the most effec-
tive means at hand The weakest daily
reaches thousands while the most sue
cessful clergyman talks to hundreds"

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

AS The journal goes to press the re-
turns from Tuesdays election are incom-
plete and the result in doubt. The New
York Herald, Independent; the New
York World. Democratic, and bitter
opponent of Hughes, and the New York
Times, supporter of Wilson, announced
Tuesday evening, at varying hours from
7.55 to 9.15, that their returns showed
the election of Hughes, the Times say
ing that Hughes had carried all of New
England. New York, Illinois and Indiana.
But yesterday morning the Democrats
claimed 306 electoral votes for Wilson,
and just after II O'Clock Republican
headquarters absolutely claimed Connec-
ticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maine,
Kansas, Michigan, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Yer
mont, Washington, West Virginia, Wis
consin ard California, with total of 254
electoral votes-l2 less than the neces
sary majority. An appended statement
added that advices had been received
from enough States to make the neces-
sary 266. but did not list them. Advices
by telephone received by The journal
Just before going to press left the result
in doubt, and likely to remain so until
complete returns can be received from
the far western States Under the cir
cumstances The Journal does not feel
warranted in rejoicing over victory or
admitting defeat.

Capacity operations remain the rule at

Strength in prices continues and even
higher levels seem inevitable, owing to
the phenomenal, rise in leather. Ad-

The last naval appropriation bill made

This recalls poem on "Old Ironsides"
which many years ago was often recited
in the country schools. 1t began as fol-
lows
Old Ironsides at anchor lay
In the harbor of Mahon.
dead calm rested on the bay,
The waves to sleep had gone,
When little Jack, the captains son,
In gallant hardihood
Climbed shroud and spar and then upon
The main truck rose and stood.
Continuing, the poem tells of the cap
tain coming on deck, SEEING a rifle and
aiming at his son, ordering him to jump
''far out into the sea-" or he will fire.
The boy obeys, plunges into the sea, rises
to the surface and strikes out for the ship,
etc. The poem is said to be founded on
fact. Better known perhaps, and rected
by later generations of school boys, is
Oliver Wendell Holmes poem, "Old Iron
Sides" written at time when it was
proposed to sell the old ship to be broken
up for junk; and this is the closing
verse:

Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god OF storms

THINKS PEOPLE BACK HIM
President Wilson Concluded Pre-

Ia his speech 10 Kansas City. Mo,
President Wilson said he did not
know how long the mere word and
insistence OF the government will
prevail to maintain the honor and
dignity of the nation, and how soon
force may be needed TO vindicate and
assert the right and majesty of the
United States. He said newspaper
editorials had sneered at the notes
sent abroad and asked why the
government did not act, yet the same
papers opposed the Preparedness

to be backed up by force. lie called
attention to the loss of life by disease
in Florida military camps during the
Spanish war because the raw recruits
knew nothing of camp sanitation.
He said prepared ness would obviate
this and the plan of the admi1istra-
ton is to provide at least APO, 900
men who know something about war
10 his speech at St. Louis, Feb. 3,
the president said, "We believe we
can show our friendship for the world
better by keeping out Of this struggle
(the European war; than by getting
into it," He also said, $50 far as
America is concerned no man need go
amongst us preaching peace. We are
disciples of peace already and no man
need preach that gospel to us" Then
he added: "Suppose my neigh boris
house is on fire and my roofs Is of
combustible material, is it my fault
If the fire spreads? The danger is
not from within but from without" "
"The peace of the world, including
America" he said, "rests with the
remainder of the world and not with
America" He said the men of this
nation must be got ready to With
stand the first attack of an enemy OF
the nation must suffer from the first
disaster. He said he was only asking

count of our long coast line we ought

is OUR CLIMATE CHANGING?
Not at All; It's About the Same Now
as Ii Was Aces Auo.

as 1t Was Ages Ago.
The question of the constancy of the
climate must be discussed for three
different time interyals-first. las the
climate renamed constant during the
recent past, say the last hundred
years; secondly, has the climate re-
mained constant during the historic
times, say the last 1000 years third
ly, has the climate remained constant
during recent geologic ages, say the
last 100000 years?
There are many stations where me-
teofological observations have been
made for more than hundred years
in fact, few records cover more than
300 years. Based upon these obserya-
tions, the statement can confidently be
made that the climate is essentially
the same now as 1t was many years or
even hundred years ago. This is
largely contrary to popular belief. 1t
means that, taking one year with an
other, the snowfall is just as large now
as then. 1t means that sleighihg lasts
just as long now as then. 1t means
that the winters are no milder now
than then. 1t means that the sum-
mers are no hotter now than then.
The constant statements by the older
people that the climate Is different
now than it used to be when they
were younger are due to the tendency
to magnify and remember the Unusual,
while the ordinary is forgotten Thus
in time it is only the unusual snowfall
or the extremely low temperatures that
are we'll remembered, and uncohscious-
ly the abnormal has thus been substi-
tuted for the normal. These state
ments are also due to the fact that the
attitude toward life, the amount of en-
ergy, the daily occupations and per-
haps the place of residence of the old
er people are very different now than
when they were younger.
In discussing the possible changes In
climate during the last 1000 years In
ference must be drawn from such re
corded facts as the dates of harvest
the kind and amount of crops raised
the kind of clothing worn by the peo
pie, the habits of life of the people
the existence of certain wild animals
and forest trees, the size of the rivers
the height of lakes and inclose ed seas
etc. From evidence of this Lind the
conclusion has been drawn that there
have been no marked changeF in eli
mate during historic umes.-Ffom vii

/ labor Lien
Constitutional
Idaho Supreme Court Decides In Favor
of Working Men.

The supreme court held the
labor lien act constitutional in an
opinion handed down at Boise,
Feb. S. in the three labor lein suits
instituted in the First judicial dis
trict court for Shoshone county by
Harry Olson ct AL, Clark G. Nor
rls, Peter Probach and ]. H.
Smith, versus the Idora Hill Min
ing company. The judgment
given for the plaintiffs in the lower
court stands affirmed by the su-
preme courts opinion with the
exception of $6a3 judgment in
favor of Morris Pearson, which is
modified to $247.
The supreme court finds the OBJ
iect of the labor lein act passed by
the legislature in 1917 is to require
employers of labor to pay their
employees promptly and in lawful
money when the employment
ceases, upon the ground that the
employe should not be compelled
to wait beyond a reasonable time
to obtain the compensation to
which his contract of service en-
titles him.
