SENATOR OWEN

That Senator Owen will be re-
elected is a foregone conclusion.
Ever since he entered the senate
nearly twelve years ago he has
been a conspicuous figure in that
great body Of Lawmakers and
his name has been connected with
some OF the most important legis-
lation that has been enacted.
Senator Owen has been one of
the ablest supporters Of President
Wilson and his policies and has
stood for America first" at
every stage Of the game. He has
distinctly made good and at the
primary next Tuesday the voters
should give him the verdict,
" Well done, good and faithful

DEVIL DOG DlTTY,

The Lounge Lizards leap from thciI
couches of clay,
The Devil Dogs bark and are up and
away,
An it's no! for tn blood of a Hun,
An it's 20! for the trusty OF gun!
For tn Heinies will suffer today!
They've been KILN the wives of
these brave little frogs"
Says one of the bunch Of the OIL
Devil Dogs,

me,
If you watch, twill be KILN you'll
see

hogs!"
They are off, to the music of seven,
ty-fives,
They seem to be having the time OF
their lives,
Eyes fixed on the goal straight
ahead.
A Heinie--a flash-he is dead.
So this is the latest in drives!
The Heinies have seen what is moro
than enough;
These Yankees deliver the regular
stuff,
Yes. they know how to act in a
fight
For a cause that they're certain is
right.
And their slogan is. Boys, treat 'em
rough!"

THE WAR AND CIVIL RELIEF

The war has called nearly two
million men from their homes,
and daily calls more How great
is the care being taken for those
whose mainstay has gone, per-
haps to be killed or crippled In
the Survey. w. Frank Persons
recently collected instances illus
trating the variety Of the needs
now being revealed in thousands
of communities. One young wo-
man. left by her husband to con
duct his business, got it into an
awkward tangle and was dis
tracted by worry when she came.
to the notice Of the authorities.
Another was of wife of seven
teen about to become a mother,
under conditions Of great power
ty, who had written to her hus-
band with a desperation that al
most led him to desert. A third
was an old woman in the south
ern mountains who, receiving
regular letters from her son in
camp, and being observed never
to reply, confessed with tears in
her eyes that with the growing
bundle of letters she had been
unable to read a word. A fourth
was woman supporting two chill
dren, whose independent means
failed at the same time that al
1otment and allowance became far
overdue-there was actually no
money in the house. Such cases
doubtless typify thousands.
OF this overshadowing aspect |
Of civil relief connected with the
war, neither the government nor
private agencies have been negli-
gent. The government S plan for
granting an allowance to depend |
ents, and compelling the soldier
to make an allotment of pay, is
well known. The Red Cross has
built up under Mr.. Persons one

"T hope the Lord will let me reign
sver the District of Columbia at the
millennium"
This was Billy Sunday wish ex-
pressed during his sermon last night
when ne spoke OF the second coming
of Christ, the millennium, and scrip
tural prophecy.
Believe me-" said Billy, earnestly.
"there would be something doing"
Btlly touched on political anairs OF
the world In discussing the milen-
MUM, which. he said, will not arrive
until the second coming OF Christ"
He interspersed his sermon with hot
sbOts at the Kaiser and declared that
he represented the anti-Christ. He
had no prophecy e. to the time OF
the second descension OF the Christ,
but declared mat all signs pointed
TO the proximity OF the event He
referred to the radical tendency to
depart from the Christian faith, the
fulhnment of the prophecies, the po-
IticAl unrest, the economic disturb

OF the Jews to Jerusalem" extreme
views on questions Of government,
and the concentration Of wealth.
In his elaboration Of these thlngR
Billy spoke OF the economic affairs Of
Mexico, the internal dissensions in
Russla, and the radical movement in
our own country. He wondered why
the Lord was 80 slow in drawing the
aVeaging sword on Germany.
EFT is high time" said Billy, "for
Christians to interpret unfulhlled
prophecies by prophecies already full
allied.
People have the notion that the
second coming OF Christ will also
bring Judgment Day and that the
world will come to an end This is
unscriptural and shows how little
the Bible has been searched to hnd
and make known the real truth BY
those who are leaders and teachers IN
the church. Business win 60 on and
Eovernments viii go on as now. After
Jesus comes and takes the believers
out OF the world, then Will come the
great trib1lation.

WOMAN WHOA|DED
BILLY TO REFORM
DIES IN CHICAGO

Billy Sundays just little bit sad today.
Death has weighed his spirit down with
burden OF sorrow. For a friend is
dead.
Mrs. Colonel Clark. wife Of the super
intsndent OF the Pacific Garden Mission
In Chicago. thirty-one years ago met
Billy Sunday when he entered the mis-
sion one Sunday. He passed through
the portal a ball player. a booEer. and
according to his own statement a gen.
eral, all-sround tough. un-Christian.
careless, reckless sinner.
Mrs. Clark died a few days ago-still
in harness. Until the last she worked
among the dereIicts and the wrecks and
the floating jetsam OF Chicago's whirl-
pool Of broken humanity; half-men liv-
ing only with a hope OF bare existence
a place TO lie each night. a few crumbs
a food. a schooner Of beer occasionally,
and as much whIskey as possible to OBJ
tain.
II thought I heard the Angels singing
louder than usual" he told The Times.
7 didn't know then what II meant. but
do now. They were welcoming her
into the Kingdom Of Heaven. Mrs.
Clark put her hand on my head thirty
one years ago and told me Of the joys
OF living for Christ; II was she who
brought me out OF the darkness OF an
empty life and the baseball field to
realization OF the real peace and happi-
ness OF a Christian life"
Billy will 20 next month to Chicago
for a revival campaign there. At that
time he will visit the Pacific Mission
and perhaps preach q sermon for them
on the spot where he was converted
thirty-one years ago.
