EGYPTIAN RELICS
OF BIBLE Times
TO COME TO US.
Coke Expedition UncOyers Huge Pal
ace-Pillars Inlaid with Gold.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The first word in
long time from the Eckley b. Coke
expedition to Egypt has been receiied
at the University of Pennsylvania
museum from DR.. Clarence S. Fisher,
its leader. DR.. Fisher reported excel
lent success during the winter en-
plorations at Denderch, the ancient
capital of Egypt, up the Nile.
In April he returned to Memphis
and continued his work of uncovering
the palace of Merenpthah, who is
identified by many Biblical scholars
as the Pharaoh of the oppression,
whose stubbornness brought on the
ten plaques.
If this is correct the great hall and
throne room of the palace, which has
now been completely uncovered, was
the scene of the appearance of Moses
and Aaron before Pharaoh and where
the signs and wonders were perform
ed. The throne is said to be in good
condition, but Egypt will not permit
1t to come to this country.
Fortunately, DR.. Fisher has worked
over the pieces of the twelve colossal
pillars which upheld the roof and has
recovered enough to make one COM
plete pillar, which will be brought to
the university mueseum and set up.
| 1t will be the most notable specimen
of Egyptian architecture in this coun-
try. The pillars were six feet in dia-

We bow, but still accept our lot;
With ''less" days growing numberless,
We murmur not.
Privation shall not bend our knees
Nor make our hope less sure and high
Well suffer for our land-but, please,
What ails the sky?

The sun broke through the steely cold;
Tomorrow shall we see his face
Of blessed gold?

Shall not our patriot hearts dismay,
But oh! the hunger to enjoy
One cloudless day!

WIE CAN endure much, we have endured
w much and we are willing to endure

the priority orders of the Government take
from Pennsylvania, the greatest producer
on the continent of hard and soft coal, the
absolutely requisite supply and pour it into
the industrial bins of New England while
our own essential industries have to close,
it is time for the state Fuel Administrator
To register his protest and it is time for
the Congressman from Pennsylvania to
get together and take radical action.
We are ready to curtal radically our use

sections, but we are not willing 20 be put

LOCAL OPTION Is PATRIOTISM

NEW JERSEYS Legislature has per.
' formed "A notable service to the nation
in passing local option measure. This is
setting n good example Of moderation to
those who would make partisanship and
factonalism as bitter and confusing in
war as they are in peace. 1t is devitalzng
enough to the processes of public opinion
to have three political parties in the field.
a sane and balanced public debate is best
served by having only two parties. When
there are four, with one Of them as avid
for new followers as it is blind to every
issue but one and that liquor, there is a
constant strain and drain upon each com.
munity's resources for clearly expressing
it's political desires.
The classic example is California's vote
in November. 1915. No one will ever know
what California was trying to say, for,
while the two major parties votes were al
most tied, $4,000 Socialists and 1900 Pro.
hibitonists were DISTINGUISHING themselves
by voting for hopelessly beaten candidates.
Local option is always "A patriotic issue.
