Moses song. = The people want ratsr.
. The waters at M.rah are bitter. % A tree
sweeteneth them q At Elim are twelrs
wells and seventy PAIN trees.
Then sang Moses and the chill
dren of Israel this song unto the
Lord. and spake, saying. 1 will sing
unto the Lord. for he hath triumph
, ed gloriously: the horse and his
rider hath he thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and
song. and he is become my saliva
tion: he is my God. and 1 will pre-
pare him a habitation; my fathers
God, and l will exaIt him.
The Lord is a man of war: the
Lord is his name.
fost hath he cast in.a ne ,.:l his
chosen captains also are drowned
/ in the Red sea.
Thy right hand, o Lord, is be-
come glorious in power; thy right
hand. o Lord. hath dashed in pieces
the enemy.
Z And in the greatness of thine
excellency thou hast overthrown
them that rose UP against thee:
thou sentest forth thy wrath,
which consumed them as stubble.
s And with the blast of thy nos
/ trils the waters were gatherer to-
gether. the floods stood upright as
a heap, and the depths were con-
gealed in the heart Of the sea.
| The enemy said, / will pursue,
, 1 will overtake. 1 will divide the
spoil: my lust shall be satisfied
upon them: 1 will draw my sword,
my hand shall destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow with thy
wind. the sea covered them: they
sank as lead in the mighty waters.
II Who is like unto thee, o
, Lord. among the gods? who is like
thee, GLORIOUS in holiness, fearful
in praises. doing wonders?
IL Thou stretchedst out thy
right hand. the earth swallowed
them.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led
forth the people which thou hast
redeemed: thou hast guided them
in thy strength unto thy holy habi-
\ tatton.
Il The people shall hear, ana be
afraid: sorrow shall take hold on
the inhabitants of Palestine.
Is Then the dukes OF Euon,
shall be amazed; the mighty men of
Moab, trembling shall take hold
upon them: all the Inhabitants of
Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall
upon them: by the greatness OF
thine arm they shall be "a still as
stone; till thy people pass over.

which thou hast purchased.
II Thou shalt bring them ii.
and plant them in the mountain of

Lincoln statue Controversy.
The statue OF Abraham Lincoln, re-
Gently removed from in front of the
Court House. should not be taken
from the District of Columbia. The
movement for it's erection was inaug-
urated here and most of the money
collected from Washingtonians, ac-
cording to statements made to me by
old residents. One of these, DR..
CHARLES V. PETTEYS, 1916 New
Hampshire avenue northwest, is pres
ident of the Lincoln Parapet Memo
rial Association, and that body Is GO
| ing to request Chairman CARL L.
MAPES. of the District Committee of
the House. to have the statue kept
here. The plan to have it taken to
Indiana or any other State will be
vigorously opposed.
I'VE have organized" DR.. Petteys
said, Ito perpetuate the well-worn par
apet on the works of old Fort Ste
vens, out on Brightwood avenue,
where the immortal Lincoln stood un-
der fire at the time of Gen. JUBAL
EARLY'S raid on Washington during
the civil war. That place is the only
civil war battlefield in the District of
Columbia. President Lincoln was ap-
prehensive when he heard the Con-
federate guns booming at the very
threshold Of Washington and went
out to Fort Stevens In his carriage
In full view Of the sharpshooters in
gray he stood upon, the parapet and
watched the progress of the battle
until commanded by Gen. Wright to
take a position OF safety behind the
fortifcations. Lincoln demurred and
reluctantly obeyed the commanding
officer of the forces.
I'VE will try to preserve the Lincoln
parapet for all time, and believe the
statue. now stored, should be erected
near the parapet with the martyred
President looking from his high perch
over the field where the lines of blue
and gray grappled. We believe when
the facts are properly presented to
Congress the members will favor our
request. Why should 1t go to Indiana
as proposeo?"
What Is the Sunf
There is a woman on Thirteenth
street who claims to have solved
through spiritual communication the
mystery OF the sun. She informs me
she will convey her recently acquired
knowledge to the authorities of the
Naval Observatory and other astro-
nornical institutions, II desired.
THE popular myth OF astronomy
and other sciences is that the sun is
a blazing mass OF gases, highly COM
pressed and blazing vigorously" she
said Now, according to the mes
sage I received from a high spiritual
plane. that theory is all wrong. The
sun is powerful electric magnet and
the heat and light 1t throws on is
not gaseous.

compressed gas could not control the
planets as the great electric magnet

SUPPORT OF ORPHANS
 NEAR EAST RELIEF

The work of raising funds for the starving peoples of the Near East through the state offices of that or ganization in Phoenix, is going ahead nicely. There will be no campaign or drive this year as in former ones, the plan being to secure the under writing of the support of orphans.
 Last year America saved Armenia from starvation. The president, the governors and all those in authority in Armenia grant this and unite In their expressions of deep apprecia- tion.
 The volume of the work is tremen- dous. It would take table "A miles long to seat all of the orphans now being fed by the Near East Relief. The table is set in sections all over the hills of Asia Minor, Syria, Assyria and Northern Persia, on both sides of which are seated orphans,-Syrians and Assyrians, Greek and Armenians, Jew and Christian, all rescued from the fear of the Turk and under the care of American men and women.
 They are a thrifty lot, these little parentless exiles. From their scant store of bread they always carry a portion in a small bag about their necks.-they fear the day of another killing. They hoard the shoes sent from America until snow flies.-they remember their bare feet in the snows of last year.
 Last year Arizona raised its quota being the first state in the union to do so. The same was true during the war-Arizona was always among the first to respond to an appeal for help, and it is felt that in these hap pier days for us, Arizona will con tinue to do her share to alleviate the sufferings of these less fortunate people across the sea to whom true armistice has not yet come.

can plan would withdraw!

The FISK Of dlSlntegratlon Is too ap- parent to give confidence to friends of international peace.
 This division of republican views into two very definite and equally un- satisfactory programs of procedure has filled millions of Republicans with despair. They may still vote for Harding because they have always voted a Republican ticket, but the fact remains that their vote will not bring what they want. However painful it may be to Republicans it is clear that the path of greater promise for supporters of the League lies through MT. Cox. Since he stands squarely for the League, his election would be an unmistakable mandate from the country calling for participation in the League.
 The Senate will in any event insist on reservation, but with MT. Cox's election as guide to indicate the public demand, those reservations will more certainly be of such a nature that the League will accept them without losing its present members.
 Remembering that the sole aim of the League is to abolish war, that such League could only come into existence through a covenant of com promise which could please no one completely; that ours is the only el- igible nation outside the organization; that forty-one countries have fear lessly assumed it's obligations; that a rejection of the League means a re- fusal of this country to cooperate in the worlds greatest effort to make an end of war; that "safety for America first" may mean sending the sons of future mothers to world war, I hold that there is but one course for those who believe in the League and it's program and that is to vote for Cox.
 There are millions of men and women who will vote on the Demo- cratic and Republican tickets because their traditions would permit them to do nothing else. There should, how ever, be a determining number of in dependent men and women voters who aspire to no party favors, recognize no party thralldom and fear neither the criticism of friends nor foes, but who want their votes to serve the evolution of society. These should be able to turn the tide and by so do- ing to open the door for the entrance of our nation into this world compact to build an enduring peace. This does not mean that I have allied myself with the Democratic party, for l am not a Democrat.
