Evening.

Last night at the gospel meetings at
the Christian church, Evangelist Fa-
gan preached from the old text in
Gen. S:4. When Satan in %conversa-
ton with Mother Eve gives the direct
contradiction to Gods word. God
had said in the day thou eatest there
of (the tree Of knowledge of good
and evil) thou shalt surely die. Satan
says Thou shalt not die. but thou
shalt become as God" When you are
looking for the devils lie it win al
ways be found in the denial Of the
word Of God. The evangelist gave a
number of incidents of scripture
where the DEVILS lie was illustrated
the most prominent of which is found
in 1 Kings 18th chapter. Here, we
have a young man Of God sent on an
unpopular mission Of rebuking his
king and speaking against the popu-
lar false worship. 1t was not his mes
sage but Gods word and God said
Neither eat bread nor drink water
until you return. Neither return by
the way you 60" why? He did
not know and God did not explain.
He desired obedience. He resisted
the hospitality Of the king and had
started upon his return when an old
learned prophet who had probably
had all the college degrees Of his day.

saying. II. too. am a prophet and God
has said to me for you to eat and

The scripture says the old prophet
lied to him. II was the devil's lie IL
a professional religious man did tell
it and it lost the young prophet his
life. Know the word of the Lord for
yourself and obey It.

try on strike for an eight-hour day.
The men claim they are entitled to
shorter hours without dimunition Of
pay, and the railroads allege that it
will increase their pay rolls $4,000
600 a year, and that they should be
permitted to pass the raise on to the
public by being allowed an increase
of rates.
Since railroad rates are regulated
by the interstate and state commerce
commissions, it looks to layman that
those commissions should be empow-
cred to compel arbitration in all labor
disputes arising on railroads that
threaten the welfare of the entire
nation.

sion a vast improvement over the old
system.
A city government comes in touch
in some manner with almost every
citizen, many of whom seldom come
in personal contact with the state or
national authorities, hence the advan-
tage of a government that is quickly
responsive to the demands made upon
it. This is where the commission
form excels, as was told by United
States Senator Robert L. Owen, of
Oklahoma, in a speech in the senate
few years ago, after observing how
commission government had worked in
his state. The senator said:
Under this system the public bust
ness is conducted with efficiency,
promptness, free from blackmail and
free from the petty rascalities, free
from the grand and petty larceny
that have heretofore characterized mu-
nicipal councils. A request of the
hour; and it is not necessary to run
the gauntlet of a corrupt city legisla-
ture, with the long delays and black
mail incident thereto"
Again he says: "The ward system
leads to INSCRIPTIONS men making
combinations in the council, trading
with each other, and taking advant-
age of the portions Of the city whose
representatives are more scrupulous.
1t is bad system, defective and full of
pitfalls. Commercialism has unfairly
invaded the governing function. 1t
uses the ward system as political
machine through which special inter-
ests can promote their selfish inter-
ests at the expense of the general well
fare"

Some Recent History


{ In November, 1911, Aberdeen held
an election to decide whether or not
the city should adopt the commission
plan of government. The proposition
was defeated by majority of 2S9 out
Of total vote of 1,4S3, the slight
vote being due to lack of information
on the subject and the fact that the
law was new and untried. Much mis-
information was peddled out by the
opponents of commission, which
largely passed for facts through the
lack of knowledge of the then new
law.
Just before the election, the oppo-
nents of commission sent out circu-
lar letters containing statements so
manifestly untrue as to cause the
Aberdeen World-which paper was
strictly neutral in that contest-to
give it strong editorial contradiction,
and brought the following denial of
the allegations as to Hoquiam from
the Washingtonian:
"The Washingtonian has avoided
mixing in Aberdeen's commission gov
eminent struggle. 1t is matter for
the voters of that city to settle for
themselves when they go to the polls
next Monday, but we have protested
and still protest against misrepresent.
atoms concerning Hoquiam which have
been and are still being made by the
Aberdeen opponents of commission
government. t
According to one speaker 1--WE get
our information from an Aberdeen
newspaper), the streets in Hoquiam
are covered with horse manure; our
fire department is crippled; the police
department is violating the state laws
to keep up appearances; the Hoquiam
commissioners are Intentionally mis-.
governing this city in order to make
good showing in the cost of munich
pal operation.
"All Of which is wrong. There have
been a few complaints against the
commission form, as it is working out,
but in the main the people are giving
the commissioners a chance, and we
seriously object to being broken down
and discredited in order to boost the
anti-commission fight in our sister
city.
"Hoquiam, it is true, is economic
ing municipality, for business reasons.
She tried to economic under the
councilmanic system, but could not
the system was too cumbersome. In
the old days we had lots of economy
talk but no saving of money; now
we have lots of saving and no talk
except from the public platform in
Aberdeen and that talk is born neither
from love for us, nor from a sense
of fairness"
Conditions have changed since 1911,
and so have the minds of many citi-
zens of Aberdeen. The Allen law is
no longer an experiment, it has proved
superior to the northumberland sys-
tenn in North Yakima, Walla Walla,
Chehalis, Centralia and Hoquiam, and,
as matter Of fact, Aberdeen is the
only second class city in the state
not operating under the commission
plan. In those cities the change has
had varying success, but they are
unanimous in declaring the commits

The Tariff Board Joke

Since the subject of tariff board
is before congress, it may be we'll
to refresh the memory by quoting
Chairman Emery of the tariff board ap-
pointed by President Taft. Speaking
at a banquet Of the New York Ameri-
can Association of Wooden and
Worsted Manufacturers at New York,
in October, 1911, Chairman Emery had
this to say Of his board:
There are certain things that are
difficult to get, and one thing, that
according to the platform of the Re-
publican party-and incidentally that
does not mean anything to me, ex-
cept that l have been given the job
according to that platform-is to try
to get the cost of production. thank
you all, gentlemen, that you did not
laugh. Laughter.) I frankly say
right here that this idea of settling
things on cost alone is all nonsense.
You must think / am joking about
this thing, but there is joke about
it, and the joke is this: I have no
powers whatsoever. The tariff board
has no powers. There is really no
such a thing as a tariff board. The
law says that for certain purposes the
President may employ such persons
as he sees fit. l am one OF such
persons. That is ALL" daughter and

Patriotism vs.. Pelf.

Before the committee of the House
of Congress on naval affairs last
week, it was decided to recommend
the erection Of an armor plate plant
by the government at cost of SILL
100000 Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania is reported to have stated that
if such a plant was ordered built two
plants in his state would at once in
crease the price Of armor plate 5000 a
ton. AS the erection of a government
plant will require several years, the
threat of those patriotic gentlemen,
it will be readily seen, would hold
the nation up at time when every
loyal citizen should be backing up the
efforts of congress to place the nation
in position to defend itself from posi-
BILE foreign aggression.
The two plants in question, the Cam
bria and Midvale, are among the most
earnest pleaders for high protection
when tariff bill is in preparation, on
the worn out plea of protection for
infant industries. To one up a tree
it looks as if when an infant is strong
enough to threate to choke Uncle
Sam, it is high time to wean him and
break the bottle.
