ISOLATION has been asked TO conduct a
campaign 10 visit every Sunday school
early in December, looking toward max.
ing the Offering as large as possible.
Last year 5000 Sunday schools gave
one million dollars. II all our Sunday
schools give We should easily pass the
two million dollars goal set for this year.
Inese people, who are the hope Of
civilization in Western Asia, have en-

as our American mind cannot conceive

their families and murdered; attractive
women and girls have been sold as
slaves, or taken by the Turks; the rest
Of the women and children have been
driven into the mountains and deserts.
The land where Christianity had its
birth is asking for a practical demon
stration of that Christianity now. The
campaign has been launched TO raise
two million dollars for the Sunday

THE Republican leaders and the Re

THE Republican leaders and the Re
publican press of the United States have
started a tremendous conspiracy to
undermine the influence OF President
Wilson and to destroy the power OF his
administration. Bold attacks and in
sidious criticism are directed upon him
and nothing that he does is worthy OF
commentator in the eyes of those whr
are so industriously spreading this pro-
paeanda. II contracts ARE not in
mediately terminated, the administra-
ton is charged with extravaganza; u
they are suspended, howl is sent up
about treating the workingmen unfairly.
The President announces that he will &c
TO Europe to represent the United States
in the settlement OF the great problems
presented by the ending OF the war; at
once the Junkers set up great clamoi
because he proposes TO do something
that no other President has ever done
And so the criticism Of President Will
son and the fight against the Democrats
go on.
Of course there is reason for al
this. The Republicans want to regain
full power and elect President OF their
own political faith two years hence
But, more important still. those who
are always on the lookout for specia
privileges and selfish advantages are
looking forwrd TO the fat pickings OF
reconstruction times under genera
and complaoent Republican administra
ton. The New York and Pennsylvania,
have their eyes on a delightfully."- higl
tariff wall. The New Englanders, al
ways jealous and intolerant OF the
South, desire 10 see the Southern Dem
ocrats endorsed. The Western men.
want the centre Of power and influence
transferred TO their own section. The
corporate interests and those who have
waXed fat on the railroads and express
privileges and telegraph lines and other
nonopolies are fearful Of government
ownership or control And the rich
are anxious TO escape the taxation that
has been placed upon them by the I'D
ministration that has shown no favorites
and which has made those who have
the most pay the most-an unheafd OF
thing under Republican rule.
Probably no fault should be found
with the Republicans for desiring g
return 10 power; il is also quite natural
10 look out for the main chance, end
everybody hates taxation. Yet we sub.
nit that if is contemplate, because OF
partisan and mercenary motives, &c
unfairly and maliciously assault the
great President who has brought US to
victorious ending Of the war and
placed our beloved country in the very
front place Of all the nations Of the
| earth n

New York State Meas
ure Should Help to
End Confusion

ALBANY, May 11.-New York State
has new motor vehicle headlight law.
1t came into existence last Wednesday
with the signature of the Governor. It
is hoped the law will do away with the
confusion over headlights that has ex-
listed amcng motorists in this state for
the last year. 1t is expected, too, that
the law will go far to remove the dam
ger and annoyance Of night driving in
this state.
The law confers on the office of Sec
retary of State Francis M. Hugo the
authority, lacking hitherto, to name Of
ficially such headlights as come within
the requirements, following tests be-
fore technical experts or boards.
The new law states that any person
or concern may submit to the Secretary
OF State device for controlling the
front lights of motor vehicles, to the
end that this device shall then be sub
mltted for test to the United States
bureau of Standards or any other
qualified testing laboratory not inter-
ested IN any way in lamps or headlight
ing apparatus, or to u disinterested.
qualified technical expert or experts
from the physical laboratory of uni

Police Commissioner Har,;.
Announces Several New
Plans of Regulation

DR.. John A. Harriss, special d.,..
police commissioner in clar,a
traffic, was an interesting speAke, :.
the meeting Of the Highway Tina.
Association at the Automobile Cinh !,
America on Friday night. He told y.
members Of several plans Of ,r.m.
regulation that indicate an earn.
and intelligent study of the situs.;..
For one thing, starting to-mn,rn.'
physicians leaving their cars nn..
tended while making calls will -.
be subject to summonses for ohssrnss
ing traffic. A card and a badye ~.
latter for attachment to the automnh;1"'
will be issued to those of the aos
physicians owning cars who apnlv sss
them. The conditions are that The AZ ~
gine and the. wheels must be secn,s: "a
against theft of the car. Manv nh
sicians drive their own automob;i..
and hitherto have been liable to sus s'
mons for violating the Ordinance 4
leaving their cars unattended. evas
though engaged on professional dut;s.
Another rule that will go into etfse,
in about ten days is what is known !.
the punch card" system. By Il :
blue card, with space for five punchs,
will be issued to every operator Of
motor vehicle. For minor infraction.
Of the law, such as smoking, turnins
corners at greater than legal snssS

the like, instead of issuing a summer.
the police officer will punch the cara
After five spaces are punched ort tha
offender will be summoned to trafss
court and his case will be handed
there. 'ss
A red card will be issued to him
and when this is all punched out ths
operator will be liable to very seye1s
punishment, involving probably ths
revocation Of his license to drive.
By this method policemen win NJ,
be taken from their posts and made 4
wait all day long in the traffic cont
as so often happens to-day Althoud
this is one effect, another will be h

and waste of time for minor offensss
1t looks like the beginning of q ney
era in handling traffic matters in hi,
town and it appears as if New York
were to be congratulated Oh this sort
of traffic deputy.
Another plan DR.. Harriss has reiatn
to theatre traffic. By it numbers vlI
! be issued to automobiles as they driys
, up to leave people at the theatre. 4
they arc to call back. Private equiu.
ages will be lined up in the order !,
their arrival and the first car to ri
to the theatre will also be the 6rs
to call after the performance. NH
will do away with jockeying for plac,
and consequent confusion.
After every ten private cars ther,
will be five taxicabs let into the line
to pick up folks who want taxicabs
These figures are subject to chang,
according to the needs of the situation
| The numbers issued will be large ones
to hang over the water cap, and thu
will be readily identified,
