THE BIBLE AND THE CONSTITUTION
By Or. James [. Vanc,

This is not bad slogan for these days: Back the Bible and the Constitution
 The Bible must first. It is older than the Constitution. It has service. It has been tested out in fercer trials. It speaks with ity nothing else possesses.
 The who would send the Bible to the sag dump are not likely to lead to anything better. Men who cannot trust God are not safe leaders for thteir felowmen trust.
 The has not worked out a better system of morals than the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. Any social order that despises these sublime moralities gives promise better day.
 America needs to get back to the Bible. That is where we started. The who founded this na- ton were not atheists. They had been trained in a school of life where the Bible the book.
 It was men thus trained who gave us the Consti- tuition It is document of freedom built upon rights revealed in the sacred Scriptures The framers of thte Constitution did not find the divine right of kings in the Bible. They did not therefore write SO arrogant lie into the Constitution.
 They did find the divine rights of the common man fin the Bible, and these the rights guaran- teed in the Constitution. This is the difference be- tween the worn-out governments of the old world and the republic. At the peasant rose to level with the peer. and common life dowered with all the privileges and perduisites of freedom.
 It is a freedom with restraints; the freedom to do right to think without fear without conscrip- ton, to worship without persecution; but to do all this with due regard 10 the rights of others
 Anybody who wants freedom than this wants a freedom that is not safe Anybody who would be better than the Bible has goodness that must be suspected.
 It Is easy to make promises. Any beggar can do that But here are two who have performed-the Bible and the Constitution They have led us safe thus far. They be trusted for tomorrow

ITS HUMAN TO MAKE MISTAKES
(By pr. James I. Vanee)

There are things to be erased We make mistakes, and we want to rub them out and try again. We write the thing badly and rub it out to write it better. We have learned something did not know, and we rub out to write in best thought
 This goes daily. and this is life-writng down and rubbing out to write it better. Thus homely thing as a pencil eraser breaches sermon for giveness.
 There are no perfect people. He who claims per- lection either has shabby standard has mixed his facts. We all make mistakes This is of the human ties that bind and make
 Even the saints who to meet the pages of the Bible fashioned without the frailties to which common flesh is heir David fell. Peter lied. and Paul lost his temper. It is great comfort to find that these good had faults. It encourages to hope that blunders do block the path to pardon.
 It is disgrace to make mistakes; it is just hu- But 1t is a disgrace to be satisfied to make mistakes. It is condemnation write wrong and not want the erased; to sin and not want the sin plotted
 There is little hope for the man who has no de- sire to clean up dirty record there is the man who is proud of his mistakes. To brag of blum ders is to advertise yourself fool To look back with pride those when you tried be rough" is to mistake being groggy for being game
 It is not enough to a line through your mis- takes. Reverse the pencil and the rubber. Life looks better with mistakes rubbed out.
 Restitution Is good far it goes but restitu- ton does not rub out. It merely scratces Here is where forgiveness in God forgives He does more than line through sin He blots it out, and it is from the page forever It is thougk the sin had never been committed Gods pardon hands you out unstained page and His love says, "Try again"
 This is the alchemy of Calvary This is the miracle of the blood. Though your sins be scarlet they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be wool"
 Thus. the recording angel writes down sins, God takes the book, and the blood that makes life stains white blots out the record forever.

is unusually clear and distinct and will last forever. And what more can you expect. It is one of the toughest metals known. and in the manufacture of jewelry it must be heated many times hotter than gold before it can be melted. A gas flame, no matter how hot. can not touch it. Which means that platinum must reach some 3200 degrees.
 I found an awfully cunning chain that I hope my sister will like. If she doesn't, I do. so it can remain in the family. I don't remember just how long platinum jewelry has been on the market but Mir. Wesley tells me that it has been very popular for the past ten or a dozen years. And that 1t IS becoming more and more the favorite with the best dressed people. He sells lots of pieces that run up into the hundreds and thousands of dollars in price 1 hope that l will fall heir to something like that.
 And in case that some of you may be interested. there are the best look ing platinum engagement and wedding rings Some of them are engraved in the most attractive designs, and all of them will take engraving perfectly beautifully. And they are not so eX- pensive, either.

wiI.onism the Issus
M. Howard Pagan.

In speaking to a Wichita Kansas audience re- gently Governor Cox is reported have declared with vchemence: wilson Is running for president this year; Cox is running for president"
 Governor Cox in his beiated stand for independ- cnce states but half truth It is true will bo at the head of the Democratic ticket this year. but Wilson Is the issue of the campaign. Governor Cox himself Is responsible for that fact Before he had been officially notified of his nomination he averred his solemn to all the Wilson poll cies and he has devoted large part of his cam pairn to their advocacy He has repeated every one of the Wilson pledges and it may be that now he repents
 But no declaration of his at this late hour can change the issue of the campaign. wilsonism Is the subject on which the people desire to express them selves and 1t is the absorbing issue concerning which they will register their verdict at the polls on November g. There is superficial interest in the League of Nations in the tariff the Volstead act the shipping question and others. but the supreme sobiect which holds the attention of the people and o, which they arc going to speak and speak loudly is wflsonsm Governor Cox has tried in several in- stances to create other issues. but they attracted general attention for only brief time when the pup ne interest turned back again to Mir. Wilson and the klnd of government he has been giving the citizens of the United States during four There arc few evidences that they considering any thing else.
 Tho outstanding issue of this whole campaign is whether the people this country approve the poll cse. Of Mir. Wilson and his principles nsstentiy r-oci,ined from the White House Shall his un- limited autocracy his defiance of the public as ex- rresscd through his refusal to out the acts of congress in matters of vital interest to this nation te crowned with seal of approval or shall he be stcrniy rebuked through the ballots of thoroughly dlssusted pubic7
 Governor Cox may shout that he is running for president this year and not Mir Wilson, he may en-
 cavor to confuse the people with unsupported charges each moro preposterous and sensational than the other but nothing he can do win tend to change the fact that tho real of this campaign is Wilson .rs that tbe ballots which the people will cast on November 2 will decide whether are to have a continuation of wiisonism.

To Combine a Plebian Purse With Aristocratic Ideas Is Usually Difficult. Not In Phoenix However

My twin sister will have a birthday anniversary rather soon, which IS an other way of saying that while spent all of yesterday afternoon securing the town for something to send her, trust that she did, or will, do the same for me We haven't lost our interest in birthdays yet.
 nowadays that won't completely wreck ones pocketbook. isn't it? At least that is the trouble that l have. But, of course, peoples pocketbooks differ
 I have been puzzling over the birth day problem for several days, but l think that it was the awfuliy attract i've windows of the Wesley X White jewelry store that finally settled the question for me. These windows are very artistically gotten up in pale green with pearls. And there is noth- ing more fascinating than an up-to- date jewelry store with good looking windows. do you think?
 Mir. Wesley was very nice about showing me the various pieces of jew elry that I asked about. but it was not until I saw a perfectly exquisite platinum ring that I decided that plat mum it must be.
 Platinum jewelry is really awfully good looking. And 1t doesn't cost a lot more than other metals, when one considers that it doesn't tarnlsh the least bit and that the mountings hold fast indefinitely. I didn't know just why platinum was considered to be so much better than any other metal for jewelry until MT. Wesley explained it to me, but it really has a lot of advan- tages. Haven't you lost stones of which you had become very fond sim
 ply because the mounting had become loose or the tiny little prongs had 1 broken2
 Well, platinum doesn't do that way
 And then, too, the stones look a loi | better in platinum mounting. The metal has a faintly discernible sheen that adds 100 per cent to the attract | iveness of the stone. And, by the way | MT. Wesley says that to thoroughly | appreciate both the stone and the mounting one should have a blue | white stone. Each one helps the other Perhaps you know that 90 per cent | Of the platinum that is used in this | country is mined in Russia. There | have been some traces of it found ir | the western part of the United States
 and it has been rumored that small
 quantities have been mined in Arizona

THE TOWER OF PISA

The other day appeared a new picture of the leaning tower of Pisa The story that was like reason it has stood for many centuries is the vertical line drawn through its center of gravity passes within its base
 But the picture of the old tower reminded one how Calico. the Italian of the pendulum you know used it to dsprove a statement that had stood as fact for 20oo years. He put Aristotle the Ananias class before a multitude.
 Aristotle. who some mathematician. had said 2Oo0 earlier that if bodies of different weight were dropped from height the heavier would reach the ground first.
 That sounded reasonable for 20 centuries until Calico came along. 'Is that so?" said Calico "I don't believe it. and we'll try it out" Calico pos sessed himself of a one-pound cannon ball and a ten-pound cannon ball And he climbed up the stairs of the leaning tower He reached the top and leaned the side where. looking down the slant of the tower made a straight drop of about 150 feet Then he rolled the cannon balls off. the that weighed pound and the that weighed ten pounds Judges saw that they reached the ground at the same time.
 Aristotle had been mistaken and Calico had proved t The moral is that can't believe every thing that has stood the 200O years and the hope is that the leaning does not fall for some centuries hence. coming Calico may want 10 use it again for little as did the gifted Italian.

VIII. THE PIERCE SCOTT RACE
 OF 1852
ey Frederie ]. Haskin

By Frederic J. Haskin
 WASHINGTON. Oct 6.-The cam paign of 1852 marked the end of the Whig party as a factor in national af- fairs. For the third time that or ganization placed expediency before principle to nominate a war hero for President. Winfield Scott was the hero of the War of 1872 and Of the War with Mexico. He had been de- feated in the convention by a narrow margin by William Henry Harrison when it was necessary to choose a hero candidate to oppose Van Buren in 1S40. That was Tippecanoe against Lundy's Lane and Tippecanoe won. As will be remembered, Scott was defeated in 1S40 by a letter written to secure abolition support in New York. Writ ing letters was the one great business of General Scott's life. He wrote let ters to everybody about everything, and at all times. His letters ruined him and his party, and when the votes were counted it was found that he had been overwhelmingly defeated by the Democratic dark horse,'' Franklin Pierce. Scott carried only four states in the union, receiving but 42 electoral votes to Pierce's 254.
 When President Taylor died he was succeeded in the White House by Mil lard Fillmore. As has been the case in every instance in which a vice presi- dent has become chief magistrate (with a single exception) the policy of the administration was reversed Taylor had permitted his policy to be dictated by the conservative Whigs Fillmore was a liberal As a result of the right-about-face attitude taken by Daniel Webster, who went over to the non -interference-w with slavery side in his speech of March :, and of the succession of Fillmore, all parties were enabled to get together once more on a compromise basis.
 One More Compromise
 It was Henry Clay, the Great Pa cificator. whose compromises had kept him out of the White House, who was once more called to the front in his old age to bring about peace. The com promise of 1850 was arranged. It in cluded several measures. The mos important was the admission of Cali fornia as a free state, as that broke tho balance of power between free anC slave states in the United States sen ate IL was the one concession to tn, North. but it was of far greater i'm. portance than the South realized. T, the other side the concessions Wer, stringent fugitive slave law, tn, maintenance of slavery in the Distric of Columbia, the payment to Texas O s10.000,O00 for yielding it's claims t' New Mexico. and the organization o Utah and New Mexico as terEitorfe without restrictions as to slavery. B, this compromise Henry Clay unite, the warning clements of the Demo cratic party and destroyed for all tim the party which he organized and hal explained for SO many years.
 President Fillmore was candidat for the nomination. General Scott an Mir. Webster were the other aspirant' Mir Fillmore had urged the cOmpromis through congress and had approve
