election when they shifted their
support from Jones To- Coquillard 20
Elliott In the county treasury race.
These three candidates bid for the
support of the two Carson lieuten-
ants. but Langel and Geltz kept
them guessing TO the finish.
That reminds US: There seems TO
be so much favoritsm spilled in the
present campaign waged by Carson
for mayor that these same former
candidates - Jones. Coquillard and
ElliOtt-are vieing with each other
again for machine favor. Because
of the race Jones made for treasurer
he is being given precedence over
the other two former office seekers
at the Carson meetings. Jones and
DeHaven are constantly at the helm.
while Coquillard needs must go out
and find a clique all his own. FL

looking towards the promised land.
There's plenty of bipartisan atmos-

WORK FOR CHURCH
AF TER WAR IS OVER.
Rev. M. c. Hunt Declares Bio
Field Will be Open
for LaborS.

The Fundamental Work Of the
Church in an Age Of Reconstruc-
ton" was the subject of the sermon
delivered by the Rev. NJ. c. Hunt at
the Trinity NJ. i. church Sunday
morning.
The years that Will Immediately
follow this war Will, in many re
spects. be more crucial than those
during the war" said Rev. Hunt.
For those years will determine
what principles of state-craft. what
philosophy Of government. what in
stitutions and what ideals are TO be
dominant
If the new civilization is 10 be
better than the old, it viii not Ice
because one side loses and the other
side wins. but because these basic
elements are sound and true. Il was
in such a reconstructive age that
the words OF this prophecy were
delivered. and they mark out the
program of safety and sanity.
"Iu the three words rebuild, re-
rear and repair Is expressed the fun
damental Of Divine revelation. We
need "a new emphasis on the old
faith i'm the Bible. However this does
not mean that we must return 10
the uncritical. man-imposed views
Of authorship and infallibility; but
it does mean that we must return
10 the profound conviction that, in
the Bible, speaks in an emphatic
manner.
Too Much sham.
we need also TO have new
emphasis upon faith i'm the old sal
walton. There has been a deluge of
sham and deceit everywhere, and
We have had 20 pass the most
drastic food laws and provide for
stringent enforcement in order 10
get something like the articles we
were supposed 10 be purchasing.
The label on goods has more oft
en- been a libel And the same sham
has infested morals and religion.
The exceeding sinfulness of sin is
denied or slurred over as something
trivial and insignificant. Countless
insanities and vaporings like New
Thought. TheosOphy. and Christian
Science have doomed, and we'll nigh
damned civilization in failure and
ruin. Mankind cannot deny its sin
and escape the penalty. 1t must
confess and seek forgiveness. That
such forgiveness is possible, with a
full restoration and new enduement
is the full-orbed truth that must not
suffer an eclipse.
There must be also d new faith
in the old power. The church must
not get up 10 Pentecost. Compared
with the early church ia organiza-
ZION and equipment there has been
an amazing advance. We are Sam
son shorn of our locks. The Power
that changed rude artisans into
nightly apostles has not spent it

from the general application. The rail
roads stated in to-day's application that
increases will be sought later to New
England points.
Application Sof the roads to increase
rates on iron ore from lake ports TO
furnaces in the Pittsburgh, Johnstown
and Mahoning and Shenango valleys
have been approved by the commission.
The new rates are a part of the general

Control of Gould.
Road Passes to
The Rockefellers
Bankers Announce the Sale
of Wheeling & Lake
Erie Securities

Control of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie Railway Company has passed from
the reorganization bankers, Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. and Blair & Co., to the Rookie
Teller interests. This fact was estab-
lished yesterday upor the announce
ment that the bankers had sold SILL
$50. 900 Of Wheeling & Lake Erie PROS
lien cumulative 7 per cent stock. The
nominal purchaser is the Western
Maryland, generally considered as a
Standard Oil road
In the Wheeling reorganization SILL
882,600 of the prior lien preferred
stock was offered to stockholders at
par, but only $4,000 was subscribed
for The reorganization bankers, who
held an equal amount Of the company's
three-year notes, then acquired the
stock IN lieu of this obligation.
The prior lien stock carries control
of the property, inasmuch as the reor-
ganization plan and the articles of in
corporation of the new Wheeling d
Lake Eric company provide that the
holders of this issue shall have the
right to elect for a period of five years
majority of the directors and also
to elect a majority of the board "when-
ever and as often as the new company
shall have failed to pay the full divi-
dend' on the prior lien stock for five
consecutive years"
1t is understood that the Rockefeller
interests intend to have a Washington
Chicago line, with the Western Mary
land and the Wheeling e. Lake Erie
as nucleus. Negotiations have been
going on for some time for a
Baltimore Washington connection, and
through it's ninety-nine-year traffic
contract with the Pittsburgh e. Lake
Erie the Western Maryland runs into
Pittsburgh.
Terminal facilities in Pittsburgh it
is believed will be worked out with
the new Pittsburgh e. West Virginia,
successor to the old Wabash-Pitts-
burgh Terminal Company. From To-
leGo the Washington-Chica line
would be over the nickel Plate" "

The possibility that sterling OK
change on New York may return to
par is another topic of discussion
arising out of the granting of S3,-
0OO,00O,000 of credit to our Allies.
Authorities on foreign exchange,
however, do not believe there is much
chance of such development. To
put sterling back to par and main
tain it there would be a different
undertaking. The rate has been
pegged at the present level by the
simple expedient of putting under
the market orders to buy all that is
offered at a given rate, but if the
rate should go higher the amounts
offered would increase rapidly and
progressively. England has greater
financial tasks in hand than the rec

w. Platten

From replies received by the United

from its agents, attorneys and CORE
spondent banks in ffty-fve cities
throughout the South and West in re
gard to financial business crop condi-
tons arc summed up by John w. Plat
ten, president Of the bank, as follows:
"The world war, while responsible
for much in the way of high prices,
labor scarcity, etc, particularly since
the beginning of our participation
therein, has induced degree of eau
ton and economy which will be help
full. 1t is, Furthermore, certain that
our people are becoming thoroughly
aroused not only in connection with
the demand for enlistment in the army
and navy, but also with regard to the
necessity for the fullest cooperation in
all Of the activities incident to the pres
ent crisis.
"a splendid and unified purpose per-
vades the entire nation, and it is quite
evident that it is going TO prove Sc
rious mistake for any government 10

bined military, agricultural, financial
and moral strength of the United
States when concentrated upon spe-
cifc task
"Crop conditions, while adversely AZ
fected by many factors, are being met
with n degree of intelligence and en-
crgy never before displayed.
"The labor shortage is acute ard
growing worse, and it is apparent that
only comprehensive governmental &C.
tion will obvate serious difficulties
later on, particularly at crop moving
time.
while the excessive supply of loan
able funds has tended TO introduce an
element of danger into the mortgage
situation, by reason of undue competi-
tion for the immediate reinvestment OF
idle money, this tendency has recently
been greatly lessened by the absorp-
ton of funds in other channels, nota-
bly, the new United States war loan.

ing. seems TO be confined 10 a few cities

that slO,OOOOOO is now being spent lot
the construction of new beet sugar
factories in the United States, chiehy

Growth Of the beet sugar industry III
this country. Figures compiled by the
National City Bank show that the
quantity of beet sugar produced IN the
United States has grown from o'ooo'ooo
mounds in 1890 to 165,O00OOO IN l9Oo'
to 1.O25 900, 900 pounds in 1910 and

European Production Drops
Prior to the war about one-half OF
the sugar supply of the world was
produced from beets, but factories IN
the United States contributed only a
small part of the total.
War. however, has brought sharp
drop in European production, the estl-
mated output of the 1916 II crop year
being 4,Sl4000 tons, against 6,34l 900
in the crop year Of l9l2-r3. The crop
OF Germany for 1857 is estimated
at 100000 tons; Russia, l,25O,OOO
tors; Austria, 945,000 tons; Holland,
10000; France. $4,000, and Belgium,
100000, while the beet sugar produc-
ton Of the United States in the crop
wear 1857 is new estimated at 49,
600 tons, thus giving the United States
fourth rank at present among the
worlds producers of beet sugar
