says Washington dispatch. have
been made nervous by information
from the White House that the prcsi-
dent would write letters OF indorsc-

The president has informed leaders
In congress that where two Democrats
Of equal loyalty and integrity are In n
race he will not take sides even though
one OF the candidates be a member OF
congress who has supported admins
tration measures. Az n rule the presi-
dent intends to keep his hands Off To-
cal politics.
II Is believed the president will also
be discreet in bestowing Endorsements
on Democrats who may be opposed by
loyal Republicans in the general cleo
tions. As a rule Republicans In con-
gress have supported war measures
and eliminated partisanship. Where u
Republican loyalist IL seeking re-eIec-

president voluntarily will ask for the
Republicans defeat, but will probably
rest on the expression OF a general de-
sire that the electorate shall return a
Democratic majority in the two houses.

first week he visited Delphos and Cot
ton Belt. He was at Santiago on Mon
| day night, at Bethany Tuesday night
and had an engagement al Bethel last
night.
At Santiago. Messrs. John r. Hart
and Thomas r. Mellow made interest
ing and impressive addresses, and
Mr.. Moore. as Is his custom. explained
the ease with which a bond purchase
may be financed and the superior
status OF these bonds as collateral
security at the banks. At the close OF
the meeting the party took more than
dozen applications for bonds.
There was much larger gathering
at Bethany. The meeting was held in
the church and nearly all the seats
we're filled. Mr.. Moore presided and at
, his request the proceedings were open
ed with an appropriate prayer by Rev.
W. +. Grier, the pastor. Hon. A. l.
CASTOR, field chairman OF the Liberty
loan committee in the Fifth congress
sional district, was the principal
speaker of the occasion. He delivered
q mastery address that was enter
tanning as we'll as instructive and that
not only furnished complete justifica :
ton for Americas entry into the war
but left no question OF the duty Of ev-
cry individual American to support his
government to the limit OF his ability
There were also brief but appropriate
addresses by Thos. +. Mellow and
John r. Hart. and few remarks by
| W. d. Grist, after which Mr.. Moore
added his customary explanations as to
how to fill out applications for bonds
etc. In all twenty-five applications
were taken. and several others have
come in since.
II was understood last night that
Mr.. Moore and party were TO meet q
gathering Of the people Of Bethel al
the school house; but up to the time
at which The Enquirer went TO press
il was not practical to get any definite
information as to the outcome OF the
meeting, except that it was reasonably
certain that Bethel would not be found
wanting.

METEoRIc PHENOMENA

The shooting Of a meteor across the
western sky from north to south and
leaving behind a gaseous vapor that
continued to mark its trail for half
hour afterward was a remarkable
sight that was witnessed by hundreds
of people Of Yorkville and from all
over York county last Tuesday evening
between twilight and dark.
1t was within few minutes after
o'clock. To people who happened to
be facing in the direction of.the mete-
ors course there appeared a ball Of

has now been in progress month the
lists have not begun to approach in

Of active operations when the British

tails had been running no higher than
between 5000 and 1000.

QUIBBLERS IN A CRISIS
The International Sunday School Lesson For Janu-

BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

I character. In them the man was
rich. He might have no goods but
the pallet or quilt which constituted
his bed. but he was rich in loyal love
and devotion of at least four friends.
Life has no greater prize than
| friendship. The man who has one
| true friend that will stand by him
in adversely has made a high and
deep success of life. It was really
worth while to undergo all the suf-
fering which had been the lot of
this poor paralytic, for the sake of
knowing that he possessed such
| friends as these four.
And they. noble, loyal, resource
full, have won for themselves a place
among the immortal characters of
| history. Their loyalty and faithful
ness have spurred friends TO greater
devotion through all the centuries
since.
The scene is dramatic. Inside the
house the Teacher is holding forth.
The crowd in and around the build
ing are so intent upon Him that they
give no heed to this one particular
group OF which the paralytic is the
center. These make their way to the
roof by the outside STAIR

Ihen through the opening appears
the FORM of man, let down by the
lour corners of the quilt that consti-
tuted his bed. The people look in
wonderment and curiosity. They do
not see the questioning eyes of the
Ieacher himself, who is perhaps the
only person in the room appreciating
the real significance of this extraor-
binary action. His feelings are
stlrred to their profound depths.
Nothlng moves Him more than faith

No Hardship For Men at
Home to Help Out Boys
in Trenches
Man wants but little here below,
And you can safely bet
Till living prices lower go
That is what he'll get.


Man ought to want little-the man
who, safe at his own fireside. need
have no fears of personal affliction
or injury. The soldier asks for lit
tie, and it seems a little sacrifice
indeed for the home citizen to cut
out his own ration OF tobacco. say,
once a week, and send that savings
to his friend, the fighting American.
Few persons, even smokers, have a
really vivid notion of the long-felt
want that tobacco fills on the firing
line-cigarets, or "fags", in partic-
ular.
Reading some of the official ac-
counts of the British war department,
recording incidents for which the
Victoria Cross was bestowed. one
occasionally hears the familiar cry,
Tobacco Men dying ask for a
smoke the very last thing. A Cana
dian lieutenant, single-handed, held
a position for a long time with
bombs. This Canadian youth, though
terribly wounded and suffering a
great deal, by sheer force of will
coolly continued TO throw bombs at
a heavy force of Germans. Placing
each bomb with infinite skill, he was
able to stave off the Hun until Brit
ish reserves rushed to his rescue, but
it was too late. With smile OF
gratitude that he had been able to
do something for his country he
begged that some one might light
him a cigaret. He passed away with
this fragrant comforter between his
lips, and who shall blame him?
These heroes know what they want
And now is the time to send n con-
tribution to the Telegraph, so that
your aid may be available in the next
few months. In that time, according
to Washington, there may be a mill
lion American troops in France. They
will need tobacco.

SOMEBODY IS
ALWAYS TAKING
JOY OUT OF LIFE
Convict, Pardoned, Finds
"Two More Years" Wait
ing Outside

Oklahoma City Okla. - When
William Koons stood before the dis
| trict court in woodward county two
years ago and heard the Judge SEN
tence him to prison for two years
he little thought that the United
States Marshals office in Oklahoma
| City had made a notation that his
sentence of two years at hard labor
in the State Penitentiary at McAles-
ter would expire some time in jan
uary, 1918.
Koons was one of the many Okla
homa convicts to whom Governor
Williams had promised holiday
| pardon
When word came to the prison
that men whose terms would expire
| in January would be granted par
dons Koons took a new lease on
| life.
In the marshal's office in the fed
eral building one of the deputies
went to a pigeon hole, brushed the
dust away and withdrew little slip
on which was written a notation. 1t
concerned William Koons. The
gram requesting the warden at Nc
Alester to hold Rooms.
He'd Figured ON New Start
At McAlester all was happiness,
gladness and joy among those who
were to benefit by the Governors
act. Koons was happy, too. He'd
start anew, brace up and see if he
couldn't go square" The morning
of liberation day saw a line of hap
py, smiling convictS standing near
the warden's office. They had been
| dressed OUT and were thinking of
the happy time to be spent on "the
outside" But Koons wasn't there.
Instead he was seated on the edge
of his cot in one of the gloomy cell
houses his head in his hands, think
ing and wondering. He had been
left behind when the others passed
through the gates and into the big
open" He kept wondering for six
days and finally he was called into
the deputy warden's office, handed
his pardon, and told he would be
dressed out" Immediately. His sad
ness somewhat turned to gladness,
but still he wondered.
A Warrant Waiting
Dressed out, he was led to the
big doors, and when he stood there
in the open he saw standing near
him stranger. He wondered again,
but not for long. The stranger took
"a legal paper and one with the lit
tie notation written on the back.
"Koons?"
Yes sir"
I've a warrant for YOU" and
Koons, with Governor Williams par
don resting in an inside pocket, only
nodded.
We've got about an hour to
make our train; we go to Oklahoma
City"
So that same evening Koons was
again lodged behind bars, this time
in the Oklahoma county iail The
next day he was taken before Judge
John II. Cotteral and entered a plea

and silenced them by proving that
He had power both to forgive sins
and to heal bodies. He bade the

He who had come In helpless sun
plication through a hole in the roof
went out in victory through the open
door. The crowds marvelled at him
and at ne Master who had wrought
