A Rhode Island Red rooster, lively
and clipper as little chick, caused a
sensation early Friday morning at the
Poplar Bluff Post Office, while Re-
publican man was turning over a
package of mail to one of the receiv-
ing clerks. The rooster had been sent
from Essex by parcel post, consigned
to Will Weaver, who lives on Bartlett
street, and there was special deliy-
cry stamp attached co the package.
When the rooster, which was Grated
in proper shape and as full of life as
you please, was disturbed by the ear
ly morning caller, he proceeded to do
some growing that would have done
game bird credit after winning
bout in Chicken pit" The bird
was delivered to Weaver by parcel

Motion to Lay on the Table
To lay the motion on the table,
while evasive in measure, would be
a defeat of the resolution and timid
upholding of the Presidents hand
a sort of vote of confidence. Several
substitutes were offered and voted
down, and Senator Gore then offered
what he called correction to his res
olution, which reads as follows:
Resolved by the Senate, the
House of Representatives concur
ring, that the sinking by Ger
man submarine without notice or
warning of an armed merchant
vessel of her public enemy, re-
sulting in the death of citizen
of the United States, would con-
stitute a just and sufficient cause
of war between the United States
and the German Empire"
By some sort of parliamentary
privilege he was permitted to make
the addition, which is both out of tone
and the spirit Of the preceding part of
the resolution. A motion to lay on
the table, covering the Gore resolu-
ton and all substitutes, was then
voted upon, and carried by vote of
6S to ID, only Democrats and IL Re-
publicans voting against the motion.
Gore himself voted to table his own
resolution.

The members of the legislative in
vestigating committee, appointed to
examine various departments of State,
were unanimous in their findings on
the Office of Secretary of State Cor
nelius Roach, now candidate for
Governor. After having had the as
sistance of expert accountants, the
committee said:
Law Governs Number Employed And
Fixes Salaries Paid.
"Your committee finds that the
clerical force employed in the Office of
the Secretary of State was authorized
by law and by specific appropriation
to cover the same, and that no new
positions have been created in that
Office, or salaries raised except as au-
thorized by law and by appropriations
made to cover the same"
Record for First Term.
"The total expenses of the Secre-
tary of States department during the
last full term, 1909 to 1912 inclusive,
were $77,000O0 less than they were
the years 1905 to 1908 inclusive, and
the receipts during the years 1909 to
~ inclusive weres, in round numbers
$220.00000 greater than the term pre-
ceding."
Record for Last Two Years. Period
"The earnings of the office of the
Secretary of State for the two years
1913 and ID were practically the
same 1880, O0O.O0) as the total earn
ings of the Office during the four
years 1905 to '08 inclusive; and these
practically equal receipts lin half the

Could Suggest Nothing to Improve
Service.
"Your committee finds and reports
that the Office of the Secretary of

Quoted, and that it has no suggestions
to make which it believes would make
the service better to the public and
for the State and at less expense than

Puts II Up to Congress

PutS IL UP 10 congress
Mr.. Wilson was confident that as a
whole Congress is in accord with what
he has done and is doing to settle the
vexing questions growing out of the
submarine controversy with Germany,
but he wanted to remove all doubt and
determine at once and for all, for the
satisfaction of the whole world, that
the Legislative and Executive branch
es of the Government are Of one mind
that the rights of Americans to ira
vel the high seas unmolested shall not
be abridged. So on Tuesday of last
week the President addressed the fol-
lowing letter to Representative Ed
ward W. Pou of North Carolina, act
ing chairman of the House Commit
tee on Rules:

chairman of the Committee on
Rules, is absent in Texas, l take

Brings Issue to a Head
This note of the President brought
the issue to a head. The Pacifists had
talked loudly of Congress passing a
resolution, in consonance with Ger
many's wishes if not her demands,
to the effect that all American citi-
zens be warned to keep off merchant
ships that carried defensive arms,
which would virtually leave them
without any assurances of protection
or any restitution to the family of
any American citizen whose life might
go out with some summarized mer-
chant ship. Now the President calls
upon them to pass such a resolution
and discredit him before foreign ma
tons, or defeat it and thus virtually
give him a vote of confidence and tell
the world that he is upheld by Con-
gress and the country in his stand for
humanity, American honor and Amer
lean rights. 1t was up to Congess,
and they dare not evade the question.
1t was decided among the Democratic
leaders to bring to an immediate vote
the question whether the Legislative
branch Of the Government would sup
port President Wilson in his efforts to
obtain freedom Of the seas for Amer
lean citizens and American commerce.
Senate Sustains Hints to IA
The test question was brought up
in the Senate last Friday in the shape
of a resolution by Senator Gore of
Oklahoma, as follows:
Whereas, A number of the
leading Powers of the world are
now engaged in war of unex-
ampled proportions, and
Whereas, The United States
is happily at peace with all the
belligerent nations, and
Whereas, 1t is equally the de-
sire and the interest of the Amer
lean people to remain at peace
with all the nations; and,
Whereas, The President has
recently afforded fresh and signal
proofs of the superiority of diplo-
macy to butchery as a method
of settling international disput-
es, and,
Whereas, the right of Amer
ed belligerent vessels has recent
ly received renewed guarantees
of respect and inviolability, and,
Whereas, The right of Amer
lean citizens to travel on armed
belligerent vessels, rather than
upon unarmed vessels, is essen
tial neither to their life, liberty
or safety, nor to the independ-
ence, dignity or security of the
United States; and,
Whereas, Congress alone has
been vested with the power to
declare war, which involves the
obligations to prevent war, by
all proper means, consistent with
the honor and vital interest of the
nation;
Therefore, be it resolved by
the Senate and the House of
Representatives concurring that it |
is the sense of the Congress, vest
ed as it is with the sole power to
declare war, that all persone ow-
ing allegiance to the United
States should in behalf of their
own safety and the vital interest
of the United States, forbear to
exercise the right to travel as
passengers upon any armed ves-
sci Of any belligerent power.
whether such vessel be armed for
offensive or defensive purposes,
and it is the further sense of the
Congress that no passport should
be issued or renewed by the Sec

"The psalmist expressed it when
he sang his first, most beautiful
Psalm, Blessed is the man that
walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor stitch in the seat of
the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of
the Lord; and in his law doth he
mediate day and night.

planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his sea-

In the study of the Science of
Life one finds the laws Of the Lord,
and finds them Of such vital impor-
lance, and SO grandlY interesting,
that it becomes his pleasure and de-
light to mediate upon them night
and day.
And since he finds more in those
perfect laws Of being than can be
found anywhere else, hence all
things else are laid aside for the
one great thing, the pearl of great
price, the kingdom of heaven, that
is found in the sacred laws of God.
But the laws of God are not the
laws Of mortal mind or of matter.
The so-called laws of health are no
more the laws of God than the law
of evil is the law of good, or the law
of wrong is the law of right.
THE so.called laws of health that
civilization makes and breaks, and
yet builds upon, are as changeable
aud unreliable as the wind that
blows; and are all built on the shift
i lg sands of physical observation,
conjecture, doubt and fear; having
no principle or foundation, in fact.

another another law; and finally
each individual has law to suit his
own whims, wishes. or beliefs; and

River Falls Wins
the Rubber Game
Continued from page u

Strum made couple and also threw
all Of the 9 successful free shots.
Doc Sputh, who, by the way, fully
endorsed La Crosse papers state
ment that his team was accorded
raw treatment at River Falls, insist
ed that the third game be played on
Monday instead of Tuesday, his idea
being that by Tuesday large ag-
gregation of River Falls rooters
could be assembled to accompany
the team to Minneapolis. A special
train of seven coaches left here at
noon Monday with nearly 300 loyal
River Falls fans, and there were
probably over so more who took the
earlier train. A clever wit should
be able to assemble the Docs three
announcements-the certain victory,
the raw deal fabrication, and the
rooter theory-into a happy bit Of
humor with moral; for instance,
"Silence is golden"
At Minneapolis Monday La Crosse
was hopelessly lost after the first
five minutes of play. Again La
Crosse made but field baskets, two
in each half, while Bethel alone made
that many for River Falls. The Egg
gebrecht brothers each made two,
and Christian made one. Weiss
brought his teams total up to IL
points by throwing 4 free shots.
Only 4 of River Falls % points were
made on free throws. 1t was a
clean, decisive victory, showing con-
clusively that River Falls had the
best team in every particular. man
for man, and the championship was
won purely on merit and not

law or health, because in fact he
knows not what it Is; today it is one
thing and tomorrow it is another:
and these laws of health that civili-
cation makes are unknown to tie
wandering tribes of the forest who
are breaking them every day; and
yet the wild Indian by common cor
sent is considered more healthy
than we.
Our ancestors were ignorant of
the laws of physiology and hygiene
that govern our health today, and
yet we sigh for the good old days of
our forefathers, when people were
healthy. vigorous, and strong; and
such things as dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, and nervousness, they would
scorn to have laid at their door.
But the divine law of health,
which is the law of Life, that is the
law of God, is as changeless, i'm
mutable. pure and perfect as the
eternal God Himself.
Such is the law of health that is
the law of the Lord, that is as abso-
lutely free from sickness or disease
as heaven is free from sin.
Such are the scientific laws of
being, the laws of the Lord, which
if you delight to mediate upon, you
will be prosperous in ali you do.
"Christian Science deals with the
pure, the perfect, the absolute laws
of God and nothing else; and finds
the so.called laws Of mortal man as
false. unreliable, and changeable as
mortality itself.
1T clears up all questions con-
corning the future; that dread Of
after death; that which to mortal
sense is the unknown and unknow-
able; that which finite sense must
forever shroud in darkness and
mystery, and can only explain on
the basis of conjecture, speculation
and belief.
Thousands today are suffering
and millions more have passed to
the great beyond, prey to the
teaching of eternal damnation.
1T never had an origin in Truth
in God, good. 1t had its origin
in darkness, and to darkness it
must return.
Christian Science has come to
the world, and is tearing that old
fabric into fragments. 1t logged
our childhood's footsteps, haunted
our bedchamber, disturbed our in
nocent amusements, and stole away
our peace, our happiness, and our
freedom.
1--WE are glad to see it go; glad to
know that it is eternal damnation
that is to be eternally damned, and
not a child of God.
Are there any who would like to
see 1t live? Any who need it, with
which to brighten themselves into
heaven?
ITO all such, if such there be,
Christian Science gives a remedy,
panaces; it is this: Divine Love al
ways has met and always will meet
every human need" (Science and
health, p. 494).
And in the Bible the problem is
fully solved in these words, The e
is no fear in love; but perfect love
casteth out fear; because fear hath
torment. He that feareth is not
made of Love.
There is another belief along the
same line, and part of the same
proposition, although it is dying
out somewhat in the beliefs of men;
yet the question is not fully answer
ed and never can be except as it is
answered in Christian Science-the
Science of Love.
