New wonders are constantly being
discovered in coal tar. Recently a
French scientist succeeded in produc-
ing several small but perfect diamonds
and synthetic rubies have been on the
market for some time. Instead of
sending traders on perilous quests to
the four corners of the world for
needed things man may now stay at
home and trust to the chemists to pro-
duce every necessity and most of the
luxIries. No longer need we be de-
pendent upon the potash deposits OF
Germany if we make our own ferti,i-
zers. Far off rubber trees are not 50

rubber in the laboratory.
Brigadier-Genera1 Amos A. Fries,
Chief of the Chemical Warfare Ser
vice. u S. A., in recent paper said:
what thrill it must have given the
German himself when he realized the
almost 1imitless power the control OF
the dye industry would give him when
waging war. He felt that with that
control he could win in war against
the whole world. And few indeed are
they who know just how close Ger
many came to winning that war. The
lesson which that bit of history teaches
us is to make ourselves masters Of the
chemical industry in all its ramihca-
tons, resting secure in the knowledge
that if we do so no power on earth can
overcome us for lack of war materials"

Vermont to Be Neither ScOlded

Daniel L. Cady of Burlington)

(Dan1el l.. Cady OF burLngIoh)/
Rossiter, of Rumford, said at Rut-
land on October 27-28, that the trou-
BILE with Vermont is that she failet
to buy any corner lots" in the great
New England Industrial Awakening.
But what of it! There are other
adjectives in the language as import
ant as ''industriap and other nouns
that mean as much as awakening"
Of course, we do not come up to
Massachusetts, in the matter of max
ing shoes by machinery, but if the
count were taken on the score of free
dom from strikes by the guardians of
the public safety, where would Mass
achusetts be-" We do not manufac-
ture as many organs and pianos as
New York, but if the count were TAX
en- on the score of freedom from bomb
throwing and mail robbing, where
would New York come in? AS Tenny-
son says, we were. born for other
things; we have our own work and
our own characteristics we are, as
we have been, and are likely to be
suigeneric, that is, we are like our
selves, and we are no more the proper
subjects for the Rossiterian brand of
statistics than are the saints and
angels. Size us up, Lord Rossiter
fetch on your statistics; but come
with the kind that takes account of
our character and attainments as &
bucolic people; that takes account Oh
the reserve character, so to speak,
which we have patiently laid up to
fall back upon in that day of wrath
when the policemen strike and the
bombs explode and the red flag of the
socialists come marching up Washing
ton street and Broadway.

goods that the Industrially Awakened
fellow down country has sold him
does not hold its color; who loves a
stern duty as much as he loves his
wife; who has never seen Boston and
New York but once or twice, and that
was when he went through on his way
to some war or other; with a straw in
his mouth, if you please; with some
tobacco in his cheek; if you please;
with couple Of barrels Of cider down

Mr.. Austin, of Chula Vista, and our
treasurer, Mr.. O'Hena, that this is sent

after the suggestion was made said
it would be not right for us to soli-

come from the State of California.
Postmaster General Hays-I thank
you.
Mr.. Harry White of Washington
The rural carriers of the state of
Washington also delegated me to
bring you some little expression of
appreciation from the state of Wash

me how to deliver it. I asked them

when yo get to Washington you

receive little remembrance from the
carriers of Skagit county and the
state of Washington. 1t was raised on

But in his hour of popularity he
stepped aside from the pathway of
virtue. Jealousy, ingratitude, false
hood and arrogance became control
ling traits in his character, and un-
der their dominance he established
idolatry in the newly formed realm.
He feared that he would lose the
hearts of his people, if they continu-
ed to go to Jerusalem to worship;
he turned his back upon Jehovah,
who had so shaped human affairs as
to bring him to the front; he i'm
piously duped the people into be-
hevlng that man-made images pos
sessed divine attributes; and he ar
rogantly invented and inaugurated a
new religious system.
But the worst feature was that,
through the influence of their leader,
the whole nation accepted idolatry
with all its attendant evils. Through
all the succeeding history of Israel,
he is frequently referred to as the
man who made them to sin. For
many generations, king after king
followed in his footsteps; and until
the people were removed from their
place by the Assyrians, they depart

The cooks at camp in France lately
had a sudden windfall in the shape of
an unexpected ton of white flour. They
worked that flour for all it was worth.
Some of it went into bread, more of it
went into pies. And when these ap-
peared for use the reputation of the
cooks was made. But before even a

Why Sin?

Mr.. Editor:
I Judge from the tone of many of
your editorial paragraphs that you
consider that religious topics have
a place in the columns of the weekly
newspaper. Accordingly / am send
ing the following "preachment" that
came to me in my perusal of the,
Sunday school lesson for January l..
Jeroboam suddenly became popu-
lar. He had known for years that
he possessed the qualities of leader
ship. In many little ways he had
discovered it. Now and then mem
had deferred to his judgment, adopt
ed his advice and shown themselves
ready to follow him. Then too the
prophet, speaking for God, had fore
told the great position he was some
day to occupy. At last his time
came. The people, revolving against
the tyranny of Rehoboam, called him
means or foul, it is enough" But
aside from the immediate harm of
sin, fostered by pride, selfishness and
impiety, there is sure to be an injur-
ious influence upon others. Mem
his friends find it harder to do right
and easier to do wrong because of
their close contact with one whose
ideals are low. These evil effects
often continue through many gene
rations in ever widening circles.
Against many a man, the terrible
charge may be pronounced, that he
made his children to sin; his neigh
bors also and their descendants for
many succeeding years. To realize
the natural consequences of ones
own wrong doing should be enough
to make a man think twice before
yielding to temptation. But to
know that the consequences will not
stop with him and that to his influ-
ence may be traced the. sins of 9TH
ers, many of whom are yet unborn,
should be enough to nerve a man to
do his best, to cultivate only virtue,
to concentrate all his energies upon
righteousness.

Through millions and millions OF

fact that our blood has almost the
