 III The voice of God in mans soul That, indeed, is deep calling unto deep. The Quakers are the only sect that have come down the ages and still commune to God face to face. They have no need of priest. creed or prophet. The ancient Hebrew sent Moses onto the mountain to talk with God, for they would not SO speak lest they die The Christian has been like the Hebrew The Master said: "I will send you another Comforter, and He shall lead you into all truth" Straightway His church or dajned priest. bishop and pope. God was the far off and Silent One. Then the Protestant magnified His Bible. having thrown off the yoke of the priest and put on the yoke of the scribe God was still wait ing 10 speak face to face with His children. In every age some choice souls have dared to listen and gie the world the message they have heard from the throne.
 One day a Master lived and He lived among men. Coming from the deep He brought message for the deep. Had He been a king to sit on a throne He would have had many followers, but He was this but different He lived in constant communion with the Heavenly Fath- CT. His history is the annals of the poor and struggle with the weary. He went among those who were not Wanted-publicans and sin ners they were But He left some thing on the earth that calls for the depths of man,
 Some of us remember the day of temptation and the victory won: some remember the difficult tasks of youth and the experience and training that insures worth and sue cess Sooner or later we will have come to the end of the road where the shadows deepen. Llghten them as We may, they grow darker. Death has robbed us of companions and We beat him back. But as we come down the road again and near the silent river we hear the songs of the birds and the voice of the flowers. They are beckoning Us to be not afraid, only believe. At last vision fails, but there is no need of dread. The language of the heart speaks and the eye of the soul sees new light on the distant shore, Without a fear We comfort loved ones and tell them not to be afraid; as We say. He hath called and I will answer Him-Deep calleth unto Deep"

VILLA STILL POPULAR.
 FL PASO, Sept. 11.-That the rebel leader, Pancho Villa, is still popular in Mexico, is vouched for by an American who has reached this city.

"THE RECORD OF PROHIBITION"
Whidden Graham's Facts Examined and
His Conclusions Questioned.
Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir; Whdden Graham, in The Tribune
Of May Is, complained that an article In The
Tribune Of April @ was but "a rehash Of
the old, stale arguments OF the profession
al prohibition agitators." full Of assertions
without foundation in fact"
Against the assertion that the medical
profession generally teaches chat alcohol
is poison" Mr. Graham places an asser-
ton by DR.. Jacob that its use is highly
beneficial in the treatment Of certain dis
eases. Strychuine is also used care
fully--in certain diseases, but strychnine is
none the less a poison.
In reply to the assertion that human in
stnct and experience are against the use
OF alcohol. Mr.. Graham presents the Com
mittee Of Fifty's estimate Of the proportion
of the population which used liquors in the
days of its Investigations about twenty
years ago. But what answer is a habit TO
an assertion respecting instinct and expert
ence? People learn to drink
In opposition 70 the assertion that Kan
sass average holding of taxable property IS
the largest Of any state in the Union" Mr.
Graham puts an assertion which he claims
is based on the census Of 1910 as to some
thing altogether different the per capita
wealth." in which he ranks Nebraska ahead
of Kansas. On Page IL OF the abstract Of
Special Census Bulletins on Wealth, Debt
and Taxation for 1913 is table Of "As-
scssed Valuation OF All Property Subject

Doctor Shakespeare.

While we are observing the tercentenary
Of Shakespeares death it is very proper
that We should be reminded Of the amal
ing diversity of his knowledge and under
standing. But really the theme is pretty
we'll played out already, and it is un'
reasonable to expect to dig up new texts
proving that he knew or foresaw every
thing that has been discovered since his
time. When commentators try TO do so
they are forced either to squeeze more
meaning out OF his sentences than they
obviously bear or 10 treat mere common
places as astonishing flashes Of genius.
DR.. James Frederick Rogers discusses
Shakespeare's work as a health teacher in
"Thc Scientific Monthly" There are many
excellent observations on health in the
plays. but consider them apart from the
delightful diction and many Of the paa
sages quoted by DR.. Rogers show no ex'
traordinary knowledge or insight.
Shakespeare condemned drunkenness
and gluttony, but he was not the first to
recognize the evils of over-eating and
overwhelming. DR.. Rogers quotes a pas
sage from "Coriolanus" G606) on "the In
terdependence and need Of harmony among
the organs of the body" and asks whether
Shakespeare had read Cervantes and had
in mind the maxim that "the health Of the
whole body is tempered in the laboratory
Of the stomach" But the fable of the re
belious members was familiar long before
1906. It is a little far-fetched. too, 10 say
that when Lady Macbeth's medical adviser
declares she needs a divine more than a
physician he "forcshadows, by three cen
turtles, the general popular and profcs-
sional agitation concerning the value O.
mental treatment of nervous disorders
If we are to 60 as far As this we may
a. well 20 further and agree with the
enthusiast who proved that Shakespeare
was thoroughgoing Freudian. that
Hamlet is plain example Of the "OEdipus
and that Lady Macbeth was in
tended to demonstrate the latest Viennese
theories Of the psychoneuroses. IF thai
won't do, then there is nothing for it but
to go to work on the cryptogrammati:
plan, which is sufficiently accommodating
to prove anything.

The War Of 1872.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Would you kindly permit me through
your columns TO suggest 70 Mrs. Rose
Phelps. whose interesting letter appears IN
vour issue Of to-day. that it might be well
for her TO read a very interesting and be-
LEV. accurate history OF the American PEG
ME written By one Woodrow Wilson and
particularly note the description Of the clos
ing scenes connected with the War OF the
Revolution, so-called She will then kno"
that England was at war with France ana
Spain and they we're the important factors
in the contest so far as England was con
cerned.
The trouble in America was merely pro
tracted and widespread riot in which regular
German soldiers serving the King OF Han
over who also happened to be King Of Eng
land) tried TO suppress bands of very eff
cent snipers whose operations were favored
by the wooded conditions OF the country
English officers threw up their commissions
and English soldiers mutnied rather than
assist the King in deprving the colonies o.
what were considered the rights of freeborn
Engishmen. Pitt, Fox and Burke, the Par
liamentary leaders Of England, denounced the
Kings action in scathing terms.
The War of 1872, so-called, was merely an
incident in the Napoleonc war The excuse
used by the American President TO start
hostilities was the right of search exef-
csed by the English. 1t is worthy Of note
that bells were tolled as if for funeral
and flags hung at half-mast in Boston and
other New England cities when news of the
Presidents action was published there.
As matter of fact, Great Britain and the
United States have never been at with
each other singly, and as they have the same
ideals respecting human rights and civil lib
erty let US hope that they will never be IN
conflict again. II. B. HETHERINGTON.

Roosevelt or Wilson?
or of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: IF the will Of the people is allowed to
rule. then Theodore Roosevelt will be nomi-
mated and elected President He is the only
man who can be elected this year over viii
son. II Roosevelt is not nominated We may
as we'll make up our minds that Wilson will
be reelected
There is no sentiment here for Hughes,
Root or any other than Roosevelt. At the
primary in this county Roosevelt got hun
dreds OF votes written on the ballot, while
Hughes got just one and Root one or two.
Hughes could never get the labor vote II ne
we're nominated and nobody knows Cor what
he stands.
II the delegation is true blue American
then Roosevelt will be nominated by both
and will be elected, but if the
delegation is pro- German-American or pro-
something else than American. then 1t may
nominate some one else and Wilson will be
elected with his hands down. Will the dele
gates do the great, big American thing by
the man who can be elected ?
We will wait and see what kind Of Americans
have been elected delegates TO the conven-
ton. Roosevelt is the only man who can
awaken the American people out of their
sleep into the true patriotic spirit. The
American people want Roosevelt for Presi-
dent. AA.W.

Responsibility for Crime.

An unusual and encouraging circum-
stance in the murder trial so quickly
disposed of last week was that there was
little controversy or hairspitting among
the physicians called upon TO give te7ti-
mony concerning the mental state Of the
prisoner. The plea of moral imbecility-
the most favorable that could be found
by those employed for the defence-was
dismissed by Justice Shearn as irrelevant.
The question for the jury was whether the
prisoner understood the nature and quality
Of his act.
BY way of simplifying the jury's TASK
Tie Justice recalled the manner in which
" ate procured a supply Of arsenic, re-
marking pointedly that "if he thought it
something pleasant TO cat he would not
know the nature Of his act" While ad-
ylsing the twelve men duly TO weigh the
opinions Of the physicians, he made IT
rlain that il was not their duty, nor were
they competent. 10 act as a board Of psy-
chiatrists.
The case was unusually clear, and it
would therefore be rash TO assume tha-

On the basis thus outlined there were TWEEN

OF Kansas But seven Of these were then
prohibition states. fourteen were near-pro-
hibition states eleven of them have since
become so altogether, and only four OF
them had less than half Of their population
in dry territory.
Against the statement that hfty-three
counties in Kansas we're without any prs
oners in Jail and sixty-fve counties with
out any convicts in state prisons IN 1913
Mr.. Graham counters again with census
prison population figures These figures
profit by the above noted fact that there
il no death penalty IN Kansas, which per
manently boosts prison population figures
