People Themselves Should De-
eide Questions OF Public Wei
fare. Says Topeka Journal

The following is an editorial from
the Topeka Journal, printed in Prohi-
bition Kansas:
THE submission of prohibition
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton to the states for ratification opens
up new phase of legislation. All pre-
vious amendmerts have dealt with pol
icies of administration. Al matters
relating 10 the public welf.re have
hitherto been left to Congress or to
the State Legislatures.
There is much loose thinking about
the Constitution nowaGays-ani q
good deal of it arises from the numer-
Gus proposals to amend that document
with the addition of matter which is
subject for statutory rather than cen
stitutional action. The fathers of the
republic purposely made the Constitu
tioQ difficult OF amendment; but per
sistence is overcoming difficulty. What
was designed as q charter of rights
may be endangered if it is to be
tinkered as though it were merely q
code Of police regulations
when Congress decided to curb the
use of narcotic drugs it did not submit
an amendment to the Federal Co1sti

at once. instead Of being delayed siy

Go To Puyallup

"Farmers who spend most Of their time at
home become narrow in their vision, their brains
do not develop with their legs and arms with
the result that they do not get the results that
should be theirs 1t is surprising how
hard it is to get farmers in the habit of nvesti-
eating"
The above is paragraph clipped out Of letter
from W. HI. Paulhamus to the editor of The
Times, pointing out the aims of the Western
Washington Fair association at Puyallup.
He explains that the chief object of the fair is
to bring the farmers together for consultation,
and to show Jones new things that Smith is doing
on his place.
Fine, Mr.. Pauhamus!
But you sight have added that city folks, too,
who spend most Of their time at home, "become
narrow in their vision
That's just why every Tacoman who is able
should get to the Puyallup fair some day this
week.

JAPS AT
HEAD OF
THE LIST

A telegram today to Bishop
Keator, state chairman of the war
library fund campaign, notes that
by Tuesday night $S50,000 had
been raised turnout the country
in the nationwide campaign for
money for soldiers libraries. The
campaign is to continue all this
week, and the million dollars
seems assured in view of the hum
her Of reports yet to come in.
Reports in Tacoma are extreme
ly slow In coming in and the sue
cess of the campaign here Is very
much In doubt. Five thousand,
five hundred dollars was the
amount assigned to be raised 10
cally, and by Tuesday night only
$470 had actually been reported
collected.
The largest donation made 10
cally was by the japanese associ-
alton of Tacoma, which turned in
it's check for SAC to Mrs. Bala-
banoff, chairman of the local
committee, yesterday.
at is certainly commentary
on our own patriotism when we
allow a group OF another nation
ality, friends and brothers in
arms tho they be, to outstrip any
of our own local organizations"
said Librarian Kaiser today.
Altho reports are still lacking
from many organizations, the city
hall employees have turned in
$36.75, Trinity church $40, the
missionary society of the First
Congregational church IS, and the
ladies of the First Presbyterian
church $2.80.

Need Open.Minded Intelligence

If DIR. Carlton H. Parker, head Of the business
administration department of the University Of
Washington continues his new work as success
fully as he began it, Tacoma will have only praise
for the undertaking.
He made his first address in the state before
the Commercial club Tuesday evening. He talked
about labor problems and labor unrest.
He told the business men that to meet those
problems they must quit bluffing and bucking
their employees, and THINK. That they must
be ready to meet their men and to UNDER
STAND conditions, not to shove blindly ahead
in old ruts.
All those who heard his address on a subject
that is of intense local interest derived one ad-
vantage, at least. THEY IMMEDIATELY
WERE STIMULATED TO THINK. Many Of
them no doubt did not agree with all that was
said, but their reflections on the subject cannot
fail to be helpful. More of such open-minded,
frank meeting of the question is what indus
tries and our community need.

NEAR SERIOUS WRECK OF SUNSHINE SPECIAL
ENGINE LEAVES TRACK. NEAR WITHERSpOON, AND ONLY LUCK PREVENTED DISAS- TROUS WRECK.

What railroad people call just simple, plain luck, was the only ex- planation that could be made of why a disastrous wreck did not result. when the Sunshine Special running at the rate of 50 miles an hour, over eighteen miles of straight track, near Witherspoon, this morning, did not occur.
 The engine of the northbound Sun shine Special, which is due here at 1:20 this a. n1., left the track, and plowed along the ties for some time, and was stopped, without a scratch or injury of any kind to anyone. Engineer Jim Vim, of Little Rock, was in charge of the engine, and was good time, as this train al- ways makes, when the end of the journal on one pair of trucks of the engine, broke, letting the side rods down, thus causing the engine to jump the track. Engineer Vim stay ed by his cab, until the train was brought to stop. The accident tied up traffic on the road for about five hours, when a wreeldng crew was brought from Little Rock, and the engine repaired.

URGES HEARERS TO
 GET RID OF SIN"


 The first meeting held in the Tent erected for the purpose of holding the revival now being conducted by Rev May, was well attended last night. Many seats have been arrang- ed, and while the tent was comfort ably filled at last nights meeting, none were turned away.
 The service opened with an excellent song service. Rev. A. B. Few, of Philadelphia and Rev. Sherill, of the Second Baptist prayed the opening prayers
 Rev. May took his text from the 23rd verse of the 32nd chapter of Numbers, Be sure your sins will find you out" "Take the humanity of Jesus Christ as model, not human life' he said "The thing that is hurting Malvern today is sin, 1t is hurting the church mans lives and everything" He stated that original sin is from Adam and Eve, and that we are heirs to it, Actual sins he ex- plained are sins committed by men, such as profanity, stealing, lying and sabbath breaking That a debased heart has ruined many lives. He ex- plained the two classes of sins; the sin of commission and the sin of commission. Other prominent points brought out in his sermon, were: Salvation don't commence tomorrow but today" "A man who commits sin, the sin will betray him. If your heart is clean, you can look the world in the face" He urged his hearers to get rid of sin, and said it is the most extravant thing you can carry in your life; you can't commit sin and live under it.
 At the close of the service he asked those who wanted cleansing, and by the grace of God would come clean, to. hold up their hands, and quite num- Der responded.
 The regular afternoon service is being held today, and tonight's ser vice will begin at 7:30, proceeded with the song service.
