BAPTIST CHURCH

The call of God comes again to our fair city, in the approach of the day of rest and worship. The doors to our sanctuaries stand wide open to welcome and receive every loyal soul who seeks to obey this call and engage in public worship In these threatening days of trife and war and national disaster we call upon the God of destiny by a display of notices and waving flags and ban ners, hoping for a redress of griev- ances by divine enterposition. If we. as a people, would play fair with the God of Battle, not only would we display enthusiasm, but we would seek Him in sincerity of faith and purpose and with whole heart, per chance our cause might be heard of Him. We forget that the ultimate end of all government, civil and ec- cleseastical in the purpose of the God of destiny is to establish the universal regin of righteousness, thru the Lordship of Jsus Christ. If we then would have God to whom we call on our side in all great so- cial and political movements, we
 must conform to the. righteousness that He seeks to establish and foster for the universal good of man. Uni yersal peace and right relations be- tween man, thru world democracy, is snare and delusion, unless as indi-
 viduals we incorporate in our living those high and noble principles of life that by human experience have
 been found to produce that desired effect-you can't legislate men good. I, therefore, appeal to my friends
 and fellow townsmen, for personal righteousness, in these uncertain | times, as a guarantee to the God upon whom we by thousands call, that our cause is His cause and hu- manities cause and that the decision we seek from the court of final ap-
 peals in this great world crisis are,
 in accord with justice and righteous ness.
 Come then let us make a joyful
 noise unto the Lord" Let us "enter
 into His courts with praise and
 thanksgiving. Knowing. His will
 and ways as a people, let us not be
 guilty of disobedience that may bring
 shame.
 You will find a hearty welcome to
 our services.

M ] ' [ R ISSUES STATEMENT ID
 MINE WORKERS
Urges That they Cooperate In As- surfing a Maximum Output of Cop per Needed By Government for War

Denver, Nov. 12.-In an open letter to all men working in and around the copper mines, mills and smelters of the United States and Canada" made public tonight, Chas. H. Mo yer, president of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers appeals to the loyalty of working men to assure a maximum production and thorough co-opera- tion with the government in fulfill ing the country's needs.
 In reference to the recent settle ment of copper strikes in Arizona, [ the latter says the governments ac- tion in settling the strike indicates tha it is willing to do justice to the workingmen in our industry and at the same time asks nothing from the owners of these industries that they cannot do on a basis of honesty and fairness .''
 Continuing it reads, q believe that | the importance of our industry is such, and that the necessity for the i highest possible production of copper during this war time means so much to our nation. which is in a struggle i for it's life, that our patriotism, loy- atty and fea1ty to our country and to our government should be Of such high character that we should be willing to submit to whatever injus- tice pursuing that course would mean rather than to by any act of our weaken, in the most infinities- nal degree, the strength of our na- tion at this time"
 Continuing the letter said:
 While we must not surrender our right to ask for justice or to strike if necessary, yet if any, act of ours shall result in the stoppage Of production, let it be undertaken after the issues have been placed before the proper government repre-, sentatives and after they have ad vised us that they are unable to bring about an adjustment. Let us be ready and willing at all times to meet our employers half way.

EXPLOSIVE DEALERS NOW UNDER
 LICENSE

Wasbington. November 11.-Any -srsc., in the United States found with explosives in his possession af- 4,r November 18th, and who does not Save license issued by the Federal government showing the purpose for ,;hat the explosives are to be used. yxi7l be at once arrested and fined up = 5000 or sent to prison for one -.ear. If the circumstances war rant the person may be fined $5,OOO and in addition given one year in ,2isOn.
 This is the principal clause in a yar measure passed by the last Con- gress which is now being put into ef- feet by the Bureau of Mines, De uartment of the Interior, which bu- reau has been charged with its en- forcement. Francis S. Peabody, of Chicago, a well known coal operator familiar with the use of explosives, large amounts of which are used in the coal mining industry, has been appointed by Secretary of the Inter for Lane to act as assistant to the Director of the Bureau of Mines Van H. Manning, in the enforce ment of the law. Under the law tho Director of the bureau is em powered to utilize the services oi all United States officers and all DO lice officers of the states, includine the city police forces. county sheriffs and deputies, constables, and al officers in any way charged with DO lice duties. The police of tho cities have already been organized Tor this work, headed by a commit tee of chiefs of police in the bi! cities, of which Major R. ". Pull zean, superintendent of police

Washington, D. C., is chairman. The police are not only to look after the enforcement of the law, but are also to make thorough ifvestiga- tions of all dynamite outrages and fires in factories and warehouses, and to omake their reports to the di- rector of the Bureau of Mines.
 Persons apprehended in plots to blow up factories and bridges will be turned over to the authorities for prosecution under Federal or state ;avs. Most states have specially severe punishments for these crimes. New York has an extreme penalty Of twenty-five years Imprisonment for the placing of dynamite with in tent to blow up property. The pen altv provided in this Federal war measure is merely to cover the illegal possession of explosives.
 Tine law provides that everyone who handles explosives must have a license. The manufacturer, the i'm porter and the exporter must have licenses issued by the Bureau oi Mines in Washington. The seller oi explosives and the purchaser of ex plosives must also have licenses these to be issued generally by coun ty clerks, or other local officers who are authorized to administer oaths There will be at least one licensed officer in each county, and more agents will be designated if the coun ty is sufficiently large to warrant it
 If a state has laws providing for { system of licensing persons manu- featuring, storing, selling or using e2 plosfves, the state officials authoriz ed to issue such state licenses shal be designated as federal licensing agents; also city officials qualified t' issue city explosives licenses will b,
 given authority to issue federal Ii
 censes. A fderal license will no
 relieve any person from securing Il
 censes required under state law
 and local ordinances.
 In each state there will be az
 pointed q state explosive inspector
 who will represent the Bureau o Mines in the administration of tn law within the state.

 Contractors, mining companies, auarrymen and others using large quantities of explosives, which are handled by employees, may issue eX- plosives to their employees only , through those employees holding a license, called foremans license. The purchaser of dynamite, in ob- taining license, must state defin- itely what the explosive is to be used for and will be held accounta-
 be for it's use as stated and the re

 to put a stop to all further dynamite
 plots.
