FOR NOT
BEING AN |NF|DEL

Mr.. Ray Palmer preached on Wednes-
day night at the First Baptist church.
His text was, Isaiah 1:1S, Come and
let us reason together. saith the Lord"
and his theme, why / am not an Inf
DEL"
The speaker said he was not an inf
del, because the position of the infidel
is contrary to reason; not only so but
the infidel is always unfair in being
pre1udiced against the great argument
of Christianity. All the arguments of
infdels have been answered a thousand
times; but we do not need to answer
all of the objections that men may
offer to Christianity, for men have
brought objections to every thing in the
world, even against those things that
are now forever established. Secondly
he said he was not an infidel because
he could not be carried off his feet by
mere eloquence. He referred to Robert
]. Ingersol and said that he was one
Of the greatest orators America ever
produced, but that he made the mistake
Of his life when he went over our coun-
try denouncing the ministry and ours
ing the church.
DR.. Palmer continued and said, a
man may become notorious in his OPP
position to the Bible, but notoriety is
no proof that a man is right. The
common stock in trade with the infidel
Is ridicule. Aman some years ago tried
to ridicule Masonry out of the world
The poor fellow died long time ago,
but Masonry still lives. No man can
ridivule Christianity out of the world
lngersol gathered up the argument of
CELSIUS, Arnobius, Globbon, Volney,
Robespierre, Voltaire and Thomas
Paine and clothed them in his beautiful
rhetoric and golden eloquence, but all
of these arguments have persisted while
true Christianity is marching on
The human heart is forever against
infidelity, declared Doctor Palmer
Even Ingersoll himself said, whatever
the human mind may believe, the hui
man heart will always believe in i'm
mortality" Again, said the speaker,
there is a great difference in the way
Christians die and the way in which
infidels leave this world. Millions of
Christians have died with shout of
triumph upon their lips, while infidels
die In darkness. Let me die the death
of the righteous. and let my last days
be like his" DR.. Palmer will preach
tonight on "Why I Am Christian"

10 STATE EMPL0VEs
ARE GIVEN MORE PAY
Board Of Examiners Make
Raises in Three Departments
Averaging So to $16 Month
Claim Scale Too Low.

The wages of Is state employees were
men, according to claims made by the
state board of examiners to meet the
wage scales offered by private con-
Germs, which threaten to deplete the
states highway force by offering f.
nancial Inducements to attract the
men, accordin gto claims made by the
department heads who asked for the
increases.
The increases were:,
Clerical--Mrs. Inez Clark. clerk in
the state department of law enforce
men, 800 to $105 per month: Margaret
q. Mclloy, first assistant clerk. state
game department, $95 to 500. and Ina
NJ. Fletcher. second assIIsant clerk.
$S5 to $50.
State highway department - C. r.
Burlington, Paul X. Williams, A. 3.
McDougal and A N. Lund, craftsmen,
all raised from $3.50 to $140 per month.
William H. Green, foreman, transpor-
month: H. ID. Robb, mechanic, $3.50 to
s140; o. w. Hon, $110 to Sis; Edgar
B. Norris. $125 to $3.50; r. H. Blessin-
ger, v. w. Dobbs. Roy A. Bates, c.. r..
Dorsey. all craftsmen, $3.50 to $125.
Earl Carpenter, chairman, SIS to $50;
William Aitken, rodman, SOS to $40; c.
z. Canady, chairman, $65 to $40.
MOST OF the raises IN the highway
department were asked by Director d.
p. Olson to bring the scale nearer to
the wages being offered by private
concerns He addressed several let
tiers to the board calling attention to
the fact that going wages in the vicin-
tiles where the men are employed are
in practically every case considerably
ebove the scale paid by the state.
Regarding Carpenter. Aitken and
Canady, for whom an increase of IS
per month each was asked, Director
Olson says:
"These men are working in the vic
Unity of Preston and we have expert
enced extreme difficulty in securing
help on our surveys in that commun-
ity due to the fact that the sugar
company is paying not less than $s5
per month and expenses on survey
work, and laborers are receiving APP
proximately IS per day. These men
have been broken in and were started
at low wage due to the fact that it
Is always better to see what man
can do before putting him on at the
regular scale for the various positions"

for the road by the legislature when
costs were lower. The road was an

pFiation was $4,000. The lowest bid

cANARlEs, GOLD FISH AND THE H. c. |.

You can blame it on the war or anything you
wish hut in England and America the cost of canar-
les has advanced more proportionatey than tnat OIL
food or clothes or any general commodity and that
as YOU know is saying a good deal. Most of the
canaries of commerce come from Switzerland where
canary culture is a fine art. The war not only
checked exports but curtaed the work of the breed
Today a good canary brings from 50 to 81 in Lon
don and twice that in New York You can get
cheaper birds they not worth much as singers
In England the canary has supplanted the linnet not
only as the greatest of song birds but the most popu
lar In this country the linnet plays little part but
canaries of quality command anywhere from IS to
$500.
Bird seed has advanced 300 per cent since 1914.
Goldfish run a strong second to canaries in
favor at present and almost scarce. Dealers
report pronounced demand from Canada in particu-
lar and a disregard of price.
Within recent years the song bird and goldfish
business of the great department stores has grown
to be of considerable proportions. In London it is
centralized in what is known Club Row in Bethnaf
Green In New York it used to be particularly prom
inent in Barclay but it is widely scattered
Those qualified to speak say if the people knew
how much is spent year on song birds and beauti-
fully colored fish they would be astnoished

Houses and Rents

Profteering landlords and shortage of houses
are not conditions unique to Phoenix. They not
confined to any city any state the United
states. They worldwide problems. They
found in every city and town where people care TO
live; they absent only from places which are
wholly undesirable.
Authorities in the building trades place our ma
tonal shortage OF houses at one million They say
that it will be five years before building operations
catch up with the demand This condition which
renders rent profteerng easy should not be allowed
exist
England has tackled her housing shortage rough
shod. She will build 100000 homes in three years by
extending government loans to individuals through
communities This system is becoming common to
Europe. Our approach to it is the United
states Housing Corporation. 1t provided homes for
2l,9S3 workers at average cost of s5O67
family.
A continuance of the government housing corpora
lion into peace time is on the program the American
Federation of Labor. The federation that
government funds be advanced to home builders in
The form Of long time low interest loans The fnanc-
ing would be extended to non profit, cooperative
housing and joint tenancy associations.
Some objection would be made no doubt to
continuance of the Housing Corporation as it was
constituted 1t did not give the highest example of
efficiency and Immediately after the signing of the
arnistice demand made for either the abandon
meit reorganization of it, a business basis.
Its derelictons during the had been overlooked
among such multitude of derelictions
The only method far devised that seems to

UHising the landlords in proportion

assessor base his valuation of property for taxation

made high by gradatons of the landlords income

Eighteen counties in Ohio have adopted this policy
The auditors in these eighteen counties committed

The Capture Of Riaa

II the report of the capture Riga by the Ger
mans and the Russians should be confirmed it may
nave important bearing upon the deliberations by
the senate concerning the peace treaty If the
government is behind this demonstration there little
reason why should proceed to ratification of the
treaty. for the treaty is treaty with Germany.
Though has already been ratified by Britain
France and Italy, and though it IS now in effect
whether ratify it not the action Germany If
this movement against Riga has the consent of the
German government. has rendered it void and Of no
effect. and the of Germany against the allies and
their associates has been renewed.
II this should be the case Mr. Wilson will very
much regret that he succeeded in INTERVENING the
peace treaty and the covenant Of the League of Ma
lions that the senate could not separate them If
should be impracticabe TO with elaboration
upon the treaty. deiberaon upon the covenant would
have to be suspended.
without further information though than we now
have, we cannot think that the German government
will accept responsibility for the movement against
Riga.
Germany, though in position to make trouble
with aid of Russia and the dsaffected peoples Of
Eastern Europe is not in position to withstand such
% blockade would be applied by the allies and the
associated powers.
THE Germans could for a time, at least throw
Europe into a state of anarchy but people would
suffer from it more severely than Germany.

HAIR MONY

The members of a human society. community.
like unto the players in an orchestra.
The moving picture theater orchestra any or
chestra, any community, large small-the
principle being the same.
Some players have different parts others have
duplicate parts to add to the volume of sound,
the results, whole absolutely dependent
the perfection of the individual effort each in
his part.
He must play his part in tune and time; for
each part of the whole and the character of his
performance determines the character of the
ganization
And likewise in human society: The character
and effort of each individual of the community de-
termines the character of the community and Its
harmonious workings a society.
One player, by himself unaccompanied, isn't
much either in interest volume Of sound, each
in his proper relation to the other produces both
harmony and volume and the efforts of each all
important in the general result
So if is also in the workings of a human society
There those whose functions and efforts may be
unnoticed yet take them away and the performance
of all others rendered useless and Improbable
And the worth of real leadership is nowhere bet
ter illustrated than in the orchestra.
The orchestra may be large and the parts so
many not to permit the director himself to be a
player-just as in the of executives in the
working organizations of society-they may be of
more value as directors of work than actual
workers.
But whether he is an actual player or not the
orchestral directors function is of keeping the
individual players in time and tune by criticism
suggestion, that each may play his part in harmony
with his fellow players and for results as whole
organization.
The orchestral director who assumes the despotic
attitude towards his men-one of a driver rather
than leader Of his is a paradox in that he is
trying to produce harmony by instillng discord into
their hearts.
Driving men is an attempt 10 overcome unwill-
ngness with fear rather than the encoura by
leadership the will to do within men.
It Is true that an orchestra select its mem
bers, while society, community must be taken as
It is.
Yet an orchestra is perfect-there is al
ways room for improvement
Society is not perfect but there will be much
improvement when individuals see that the
possibility for improvement is within ourselves
That reform, like charity, begins at home
That society. community, is as good as we in
diyiduals who comprise it want it, we will it
TO be.
Each of us is playing a part and the whole will
be better as we play our individual parts better

State Poetry

Poets should be encouraged. believes a current
magazine That is, the state should encourage them
that they would not be obliged to engage in other
poetry But who the poets TO be encouraged? Who
is to make selection of them. encouragement
TO be extended generally indscrminaely to every
one who thinks he write poetry?
The result of the state thus assuming the role
of Macaenas would fear, be two fold the state
of the population would be lured into the fields
poesy for the proyender thus afforded Many excel
lent blacksmiths carpenters, editors ditchdiggers
merchants who had thought of writing poetry
would Immediately blossom as poets and claim the
sustenance due the poet
Experience has shown that the poet has done his
best work unnassisted by the state anyone else
The best work of Horace and Vergl was done before
they attracted the attention of their noble patron
Poet laureates of England have not always been
foremost poets of their times but it is fact that
of them after he became entitled the tun of
office, equaled his previous performances 1t may
have been the wine it may have been the lack of
necessity, for work without spur as
we'll with one.
The poets of America need encouragement.
They exist already in sufficient numbers and we have
enough poetry without inviting lmitless inundation
The poet anyway is born and not made More
over the poet must work out his salvation; he
cannot be helped encouraged
