HIGH SCHOOL
PUPILS THERE
They Attended Revival at Trinity
church Last Night and Enjoyed
Services and Special Musi-
cal Numbers.
[Contri,buted.1

| Contributed
A very fine crowd of high school
students We're present at the Trinity
Methodist church last night and by
invitation of Mr.. Conner gave one of
! their school songs. Mr. and Mrs. Con-
ner sang Whispering Hope" and
Miss Conner by request repeated "a
Little Bit OF Love-" singing 1t, If pos.
sible, with greater effect than on the
former occasion. Being encored she
gave a recitation in negro dialect, en-
titled Higher Culture of de Cence-
tary," and received well deserved ap-
plause.
! The sermon was from Second Kings,
l6:17 The king of Syria had made
war against Israel and came with a
fmighty army and surrounded Dothan
where Elisha and his servant were.
When the young man saw the mighty
host he was alarmed but in answer to
Elishais prayer his eyes were opened
and he saw the mountain full of the
horses and chariots Of the Lord.
The preacher asserted that spiritual
near sightedness is prevalent. This
young man had new vision of God.
God does not ask any one to do any
thing he cannot do. He does not ask
/
conception Of history. The war was
not merely between two contending
kings but between Righteousness and
wrong. So all great wars are be-
tween contending principles and
kaisers, cars, kings and presidents
are but mere incidents.
| The preacher said there Is also an
upward look What the young man
saw was but the vanguard of Gods
hosts ready to defend His own. This
gave the young man a new vision of
/ life. He used as an illustration, the
boy born blind and given his sight a
| few years later by surgical oper-
alton and when the bandages were
removed said, "Oh, mother is this
lheaven?' And assured us that heaven
/ is not so far removed after all.
| In answer to the appeal two high
school girls came forward and pledged
themselves to live the christian life.
Tonight the Masonic order and the
ladies of the Eastern Star are to be
| the invited guests.

SWISS PLEBISC|TE
DECIDES FOR LEAGUE
11A CantonaI Votes for 1t,
1912 Against It-Popular
Majority 100000.

Berne.-Switzerland in a referen-
dunn on the question of accepting or
rejecting of membership in the League
of Nations voted in favor Of the prop
osition.
The vote was a close one, liz Of
the cantonal votes being in favor and
1Oh against. The popular vote in fa-
vor Of the league was approximately
100000 and against it 100000.
The following cantons voted for adj
herence to the league: Lucerne, Thur
gau, Ticino, Neuchatel, Grisons, valais,
Vaud, Geneva, Fribourg, Berne and the
half cantons Of Upper and Lower I'm
terwalden and Outer Appenzell. To-
tai, liz.
Those voting against adherence were
the cantons of Uri, Solothurn, Glarus,
Zurich, Schaffhausen, Aragau, Schwyz,
Zurich, st. Gall and the two half cam
tons Of Basic city and county and In
ner Appenzell. Total, 10H. u
The greatest majority was polled in
Vaud-for the league, $1,000; against,
1000.
The German speaking cantons polled
majority of 10000 against the league.
1t was foreseen that large majority
OF the French speaking cantons would
favor the league, while, as a whole,
the German speaking cantons were un-
certain, the city of Zurich holding the
balance.
OF eight of the smaller cantons FIVE
voted against the league, while three
favored it. In the larger cantons the
vote was close, except in Neuchatel,
which was Overwhelmingly for adher-
ence.
AT O'Clock p. m. short prayer
brought the plebiscite to an end, and
the counting of the votes began.
Never in the history of Switzerland
did so many voters go to the booths.
Automobiles carried sick voters from
hospitals, and even some prisoners
| convicted of offenses not canceling
their civic rights were escorted to the
polls by officers of the law. The fed
eral government issued a last appeal
in favor of adhesion to the league,
while its opponents were equally ac-
tive.
A leading judge said that there could
be only two consequences of an adj
verse vote-eventual civil war or a
division of Switzerland into two parts,
the north joining Germany and the
South choosing France, thus creating
new political orientation in Europe.

WORLD WAITS ON AMERICA.

AS has been sharply called to the at
tention of the senate by Bernard M.
Baruch, former chairman of the War
Industries Board there can be no nor
mality in production and no substan-
tial reduction in living cost until peace
is restored to the world and peace
awaits the action of the United States
senate. Hundreds of thousands of Eu-
ropeans are still under arms, each
country fearful and watchful of its
neghbors. So long as they are under
arms they may not be employed in pro-
ductive pursuits, and they will con-
tinue under arms until the United
States ratifies the peace treaty and
lends its guarantee to a status of
peace.
America will be at peace when a re-
calcitrant and politics-playing senate
forgets partisanship long enough to
ratify a constitutional peace, and the
passage of no make-shift resolution
like the Knox-Porter resolution will
suffice.

THE AUTOMOBILE.

There is ground for believing that
the automobile has done more to upset
the world than any other thing that
can be named. First, it is costing more
to maintain the present number of au-
tomobiles than can be said of any 9TH
er unitarian piece of mechanism ever
invented. Had the automobile been
confined to business instead of given
over almost exclusively to pleasure it's
influence for evil would not have been
so large. Long before the automobile
engine was perfected there was fire
engine in Hartford, Conn.,, at as recent
"a date as 1899 when not another single
city in the world was possessed of such
machine. For many years it had
been in Hartford going to fires under
it's own steam, with plain wooden
wheels and steel tires, rubber being
almost not used at all in those days for
tire purposes except upon few eXpen-
sive horse drawn vehicles.
Yet there stood the Hartford engine
in use for years before anybody ever
thought of applying it to other forms
this century, about 1901 or 1902, some
very crude automobiles were put into
service in New York. Today there are
so many million automobiles driven for
pleasure that count could never be
made of them. Granting that there are
at this time in this country alone as
many as 6OOO,O0O automobiles devot-
ed to pleasure driving, the annual cost
of upkeep would be not less than 3d.
000,000,000, certainly not less than 3d.
000,000,000 The pleasure car is vast
ing our substance. Counting the bust
ness trucks, that do not number so
many, the added cost is perhaps anoth-
er billion or two. We did not talk bill
lions to any extent before the war, yet
we did have talk of the billion dollar
Congress.
The automobile as a social disorgan-
iZer has become tremendous In fact,
there was never anything like it. Men
have mortgaged thetr homes for the
sake of having pleasure car. We re-
call the time during the war when it
became necessary demand of the
government that no automobiles were
allowed to be used on Sundays for sew
eral weeks. There was never more
happiness than during this period.
This cessation was on account of the
shortage of gasoline, but it was a well
come thing to most people, who, though
following fashion, were only too glad
to get rid of it for a period. They are
about to stop autOmobiling in Austria
now because the people are impOver-
iShing themselves through their use.
OF course there is use for the auto
mobile, yet a Chicago man recently
stated that in the Loop district he
would undertake with horses to do all
of the handling of freight for the mer-
chants, wholesale and retail, if % per
cent cheaper than auto service. SO we
find the real value behind the automO-
bile truck at least somewhat doubtful.
And in another case six Percheron
horses did the work blowing big field
better and cheaper than a tractor pillow.
1t is beginning to look as though the
day of the horse were coming back
some day, and it is fact that on ac-
count of the war their number has

SENATE ADOPTS
PEACE PLAN
Knox Resolution Prevails by Vote
of 43 to SO, an Almost Ex-
act Party Division.
THREE DEMOCRATS GIVE AID.
Nelson Stands Against His Fellow Re-
publicans and McCumber Is Paired
Acceptance by House Assured, but
Veto by President Equally Certain.

Washington.-By a vote of 43 ayes
to SO noes the Senate adopted the
Knox resolution declaring peace with
Germany and Austria, substituting 1t
for the resolution previously adopted
by the House of Representatives. All
the affirmative votes were by Republi-
cans except those Of Senators Walsh
(Massj, Reed (Mo.), and Shields
(Tenn), Democrats. All the negative
votes were by Democrats except that
of Senator Nelson (Minn.), Republi-
can. Senator McCumber IN. CO, Re-
publican, announced, however, that
had he not been paired and unable to
vote he would have voted against the
resolution.
Briefly, the senate resolution re-
peals the declarations of war against
Germany and Austria; provides for
retaining German property now held
by the alien property custodian until
Germany shall by treaty have provided
for satisfaction of all American claims
against Germany and until Germany
shall have given most favored nation
treatment to Americans as to business,
residence, commerce, ETC., and shall
have confirmed to the United States
all fines, penalties, etc., levied by the
United States during the war. The
date of the resolution becoming effec-
tive shall be the legal date of the end
of the war. All rights and advantages
that would have accrued to the
United States under the treaty of Yer
sailles If it had been ratified are in
sisted upon.
The senate voted ON the resolution
at the end of four hours debate,
chiefly devoted to Democratic opposi-
ton to it. 1t was on the whole rather
a formal debate, lacking the acridity
that had characterized some previous
phases of the discussion. The roll call
follows:
