behind our noble President who says
that we have entered this war "to
fight thus for the ultimate peace OF
the world and for the liberation OF it's
peoples. the German peoples included;
for the rights of nations. great and
small, and the privilege of men every
where to choose their way Of life and
obedience The world must be made
safe for Democracy"
] am physically incapacitated for
fighting on account of my lameness,
but If there Is any service TO which
you can put my heart, head and hands
be sure to call upon me. I am ready to
respond at any time of day or night
There are many others in the SOci-
ETY. of Friends which has always
strongly advocated the principles Of
peace, who feel as ! do. Those of us
who do not go so far as many others
do who decline to fight, or take any
part in the prosecution of war, are as
ardent advocates for peace and de-
plore the necessity for war as much as
they do. But at this crisis we believe
we must think in the terms Of great
nation, with the future good and best
interests Of all nations before us con
stantly, and we believe that the only
way at this time to accomplish this
is to take severe punitive measures
against those nations who seem 10
have forgotten all their humanitarian
instincts in their greed for the pos
session of world power.
We must deal with human nature
as It IS. got as we wish it was II we
possessed the nature which Jesus
Christ personifed on earth. the indi-
vidual would be all right, the nations
would be safe and sane and we would
possess a heaven on earth. and no
wars would be possible. But since
things are as they are. we must try
to accomplish the great results we
are after, the end of the war and the
establishment of a permanent peace
by throwing in the influence and the
great resources of our country on that
side of the conflict which is fighting
the cause OF righteous government
and for humanity. regretting most
deeply the great sacrifice of lives and
property which it entails. but willing
~ making it because we believe the
cause is just.
Yours very truly.

My Advise to All Friends
Written for Evening Journal
BY James n. CrOzier.

II trials should come just trust in the
Lord.
He doeth all things for the best
You cling to His hand, believe in His
word
Some day He will give you sweet
rest
Up in that home where Christians
shall live
You will never know trials again
Where flowers ever bloom. No night
ever come.
It's prepared for the children Of
men.
Accept Him my friend and eternity
spend
with Jesus and loved ones. Oh do.
For when you get there His sweet
words declare
The gates will be open for you.
And a welcome awaits all who enter
those gates;
Who accept Him as Saviour and
King.
He will not let you stray by night or
by day.
And His own to that home he will
bring
He's the best Of all friends. His love
never ends.
All your needs He will ever supply
The streets there are gold-you will
never grow old.
DO your best for Him here till you
die,
Then you will be taken way over the
sea
Where thousands and thousands
have gone.
You'll be happy for ever-no trials up
there
And your heart oyerfull Of sweet
song.
II you have not accepted Him do it
today,
For you know not how soon life
will end.
It's a dangerous thing to live without
Christ
Where will you Eternity spend?
hope that some Brother or Sister
will heed
The words that I've tried to write
here;
Or that Jesus would MI me with some
other thoughts
In order to make It more clear

As to Quality

Compare the quality of it's genuine
leather upholstery with that of cars
costing $4,000 OF over.
Note the high grade, leather bound Grim
son carpet in the tonneau, the genuine,
pin tumbler Yale ignition lock.
Note the heavy gauge crown tenders. the
beautiful head lamp mountings.
These are outward evidences of quality,
but the real quality in Studebaker cars
is that which meets emergencies, the life
giving factor of safety which is
splendid insurance for you to buy.
Come in and let us show you point by
point the evidences of Studebaker quality.
Let us convince you that to equal the
Studebaker in quality you have to pay
many hundreds of dollars more.
1t is well worth your while to investigate.

Conserving Water Powers.

A resolve introduced in the Maine
house of representatives by Percival T.
Baxter of Portland puts iu a concrete
form of expression an idea that has been
entertained by many people, and which
has inspired some action, though 10 has
never resulted in any actual measures.
Mr.. Baxter's resolve, If it is adopted,
will declare it as the opinion OF the legis-
lature shat all the remaining rights
which the State of Maine has in the
water storage reservoirs and basins aud
in the water powers of this state should,
in some manner, be conserved for the
benefit of the people of the state, either
by lease, by public ownership and devsl-
opment, or otherwise" The resolve
further declares that no further rights in
the basins or water powers should be
granted until investigation has shown
what now remain, and what rights, II
any, the state has in them.
It is highly desirable, and according to
the spirit of the times, that whatever
the state owns in the water storage and
power rights of the state should be con-
served for the benefit of all the people
of the state, If a practicable way can be
found to do it.
The real difficulty, after we have as
certsined what the rights of the state
are, will be to formulate plan by which
the benefits can be secured to all the
people, without hsmpering the develop
meut of the large amount Of unde-
veloped powers still existing. Private
interests, desiring to secure control OF
these powers, may contend, and doubt
less will, that the state by taking hold Of
the matter at all, will scare capitalists
and prevent or greatly delay the develop.
ment of our water power, so as to work
real Injury instead of good to the people;
but this is not by any means necessarily
true. The framing of an actual working
plan will be the problem, If it ever gets
as far as that.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Baxter's resolve mere
ly defers the matter until 1t has been in
vestiga;e ed, and puts il in the hands of
the public utilities commission to con-
tiDue the work begun by the water stor-
age .mmission created by the laws OF
1909, and make report to the next legis-
lsture. That legislature, or any future
one, which has the practical problem put
up to it, will have no easy task.
