What Heaven Is Like.

From the beauties ot nature as known to US we we can form an idea of what Eden was like. ProbaNy at some time or other everyone whs has heard the story or caught a glimpse of it as it were of the wonderful garden which God after it's creation viewed with such satisfac- tion, for Behold it was very good" But there was grander harmony than any thing in nature. There was harmony between man and his Maker, between the spirit of man and the spirit of God. And God and man walked and talked togethr CT. And man made in the image oi God, reflected tile glory of God more than all nature.
 To the extent that we have opened oul eyes to behold and our ears to hear tht beauties of nature about us, to the e1 tent that we have opened our heart: to receive them as the gift of love, tt the extent that our souls have knowl what it is to have communion and fellow ship with God-to that extent can VI behold in imagination the glory of thu paradise in which God placed man a the beginning. Thus we try through ou
 conception of Eden to behold the Heav en which Is being prepared for those tha 1 love God. But, looking thus through tn

They refused the med ais in the first place because of the rec oEuzed wrong that was being done to he morale Of the navy by the methods he was employing in passing out decora- tons for service in the war They di- recied attention to the disregard shown for the opinions of those who were in a position to know whether awards were deserved or not and they brought to light the manner in which favoritisn has been used in the administration of the depart nent.
 By the review of the awards it became evident that a strong impression had been made by the stand taken by Ad. miral Sims. But as if in resentment of the temerity of the admiral "to speak out in meeting" he returns the list oj awards as originally given out with very few changes There are instances where he gives heed to the injustices but many where he does not. He indicates that there is nothing to 'substantiate the clain of the admiral that others on his staff who have not received awards in accord snce with his recommendation are enti tied to Them, but doesn't deviate iron his previous position that commander of ships whose vessels were sunk unde them by submarines performed servic calling for a medal in recognition there of

KRAMER,s NEW RULING.

To the new ruling of the prohibition commissioner to the effect that the sale of hops and malt except to bakers and confectioners is illegal there will of course be mighty protest. It will be sub jected to as many if not more attacks than was the prohibition amendment.
 Whatever the outcome may be 1t is perfectly evident that it would arouse much less opposition were it fact that prohibition is being enforced in keeping with the law iu other respects This ruling on the malts and hops is much like that one made concerning the searching of the baggage of diplomatic representa- tives of other countries for li- quor ihasmuch as there are so many worse ways in which prohibition is being violated and little or no effort being made to check it.
 That there is being made from hope and malt beverages which are in excess of the alcoholic contest of the Velstead act is not questioned. That it is being made and sold is not improbable and in such case it is to be recognized that il is in violation of the law, But while that may be going on and a beverage of comparatively small alcoholic content is being made, sold and drunk there is SC much of the good bad and adulterateG whiskey and other intoxicating liquor: being dealt in openly and at great prof i that the move to shut off the selling ot hops and malt seems to be a case of mis

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard. neith- CT hath it entered into the heart of man. what God has prepared for those that love Him.

 But if we relegate the joys of the Kingdom of God to Heaven and refuse to accept them until ge get there, as a few do, We do ourselves an injustice, and slight the wondrous love of God. "The Kingdom of God is within you" if you are child of God.
 There are blessings for time as we'll as for eternity Nay, more, there is al most reason to believe that unless we learn here on earth to enjoy spiritual things and to enter into the blessings of the Kingdom we shall not be able to ap. preciate them beyond the grave, "He that is holy, let him be holy still and he that is filthy let him be filthy still There will be infinite joy in Heaven foi all.

SHIPPING BOARD TEMPTATIONS

The more that is learned about the manner in which the shipping board has been carrying on the important duties entrusted to it the more it is realized why waste, negligence and extravaganza are attributed to the administration dur ing and following the war.
 We have said much about the manner in which there was response to the call for ships, ships and more ships" but there isn't much to be siad in support of the manner in which the funds of the people were used in accomplishing what was sought. For the direction of this important task it doesn't appear that there were appointed those who were equipped to handle such an important task. or if they were it doesn't appear that they exercised their ability for the good of the country.
 From the investigation that is now un- derway it doesn't appear that the ship ping board is even now freed from the deplorable conditions, and there hasn't been the haste of meeting war needs as an excuse to fall back on for the past two years. It is surprising that the con- ditions which have been revealed to the congressional committee should have been tolerated for so long, and more So that they are to be found today. It fur nishes a new example of what can be expected and what invariably results from government control of such enter. prises. The lack of efficiency and the disregard for businesslike conditions are too often found mixed up with politics
 In view of the disclosures being made concerning the shipping board and tht operations of the past there is little won der that difficulty is being experienced i in getting men to serve thereon

TIE PERIOD OF INDIAN SUMMER

How did the term Indian summer" originate, and when does Indian summer come? First and last there has been much transformation given out on this subject, writes Milton T. Atkins in the Washington Star. There are writers who seem to infer that the phrase is but an- other name for autumn or fall. They will refer to the fine Indian summer weather in the very first days of September They are wrong, of course.
 Others again will claim that in mid October, in those soft and hay days, is the much-talked-of season. Wrong, all wrong.
 busy writer, doing a daily stunt, may
 be excused for falling into such errors, especially when the matter is admittedly obscure, but it is another matter when
 we consult the encyclopedia. and are
 gravely informed that the origin of the term is unknown. That's what encyclo-
 pedias are for, to dig out and present the
 facts that are obscure. The season bearing this appellation generally comes in Ssovember-anywhere
 from the 1st to the goth of that month. There may be some sharp, cod weather heavy frosts and more or less ice and
 freezing of the ground-perhaps skift of snow. People will conclude that winter
 is right upon us. it being plenty late enough.
 But after a few days the cold will mod crate, the nights being frosty, but the days warm and mild as in September.

 sustained by the first settlers of the west ern country they enjoyed no peace, e2 cepting in the winter season, when, owin to the severity of the weather, the Indian were unable to make their incursions int

 At the approach of winter, therefor the farmers, excepting the owner of u

WASHINGTON

Settlers from the United States began co come into the Northwest in such numbers that the United States felt that they should own this section which in- cluded the present states of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, through the right of possession, Agi.a- 'tion in favor of actively pushing our claims became so strong that when Polk was nominated by the democrats in 1S44. one of the main blanks in the party plat form was the famous one popularly call ed, 'Fifty-four forty or fight"
 This meant that the United States was determined to annex this territory as far north as Parallel 54 degrees 40 min utes, which was the lower boundary of Alaska or fight for it's possession Like many party blanks. this one was not followed although Polk was elected In stead in 1S.6 a peaceful settlement was made with England on a compromise basis, which made the boundary TUT along the 18th parallel, and thus added to the United States an area equal tc six times the size of New York State.
 In 1853 Washington Territory was sep arated from Oregon. It did not, however become State until 1SS9 and then only after thirteen years petitioning for ad mission. It's area is 69,127 square mile, and it's population entities the Ever green state as it is sometimes called, tt seven presidential electors
