BRUTE POWER VERSUS
MENTAL STRENGTH

The latest Dustin Farnum picture,
"The Devil Within" produced by
Fox, is to be at the opera house next
Monday. It recalls in part Jack Lon
don's story Of ."'The Sea Wolf" 1t
contains battle of >brute strength
against mental strength, and it is the
mental element. that triumphs.
The story opens with Captain
Briggs of the Silver Fleece ruling his
crew with an Iron hand. The only
one that dares oppose the brutal cap
tain is the keen-minded Dr. Philiol,
and he is very diplomatic. The cap
tain obtains a. clay idol that the ma
tives of south sea island hold sacred
and thereby brings down on his head
the curse of Vishnu.
The captain retires from the sea
and marries. He loses his wife and
child and later becomes enfeebled as
d result of sorrow and age. His only
interest in life is his nephew, Hal.
Hal proves to be the prototype of his
uncle, and does not even stop at
stealing money from the aged man,
Some heather natives seek to avenge
their idol by killing this sole remain
ing relation of the captain. Hal is
attacked, but is saved from death by
d remedy known to DR.. Philiol, who
has been a close friend Of the cap
tain for many years. With his
strength gone, Hal becomes trans
formed. He wins the love of a
charming girl and regains the affec-
tion of his uncle.
The story of ''The Devil Within
is by George Allenf England. Ber-
nard burning directed the picture.

Judge Watkins Delivers Charge
to Jury-ideais Not Being
Taught
The State.

The State.
Anderson, Nov 24-In Judge H. H
Watkins charge tofthe grand jury of
the federal court he emphasized that
the 22 bills he was handing the fore
man were all for violation of the pro-
hibition act, and that of the 320 cas-
es ready for trial 80 per cent were
for violation of the prohibition law.
The charge which Judge Watkins
made to the jury was very strong.
He said that the people are now going
through a period of unrest, of i'm
patience with the law and all re-
straint. Such unrest the world had
never seen.
81 do not know but that this un-
rest among the younger people is re-
fected by the fact that our schools
are not properly conducted. Young,
immature girls and boys in the roles
of teachers do not instill the right
ideals perhaps into the minds of their
pupils. 1t is like turning over the
government of the family to the baby,
to consider the children who are now
holding the important positions as
teachers. If there is one thing that a
boy or girl should be taught while in
school or college, it is self restraint,
obedience and respect for law"
Judge. Watkins also told the jury
men that eve may not think the law
wise. In general discussion, find no
man who does not recognize the use,
or rather the abuse of whisRey. It
has grown into, one OF, the greatest
evils the world has ever known. Yet
now, because some people think the
national prohibition act an unwise
law, a restriction of personal liberty,
a restriction of the right to get dead
drunk, abuse the family, commit
crime, etc., they are willing to violate
it and see it violated openly. These
same men think buying whiskey is re-
/. syeeeable, yet eende..in the bootlegger
for selling it. The buyer OF liquor is
certainly as bad as the seller. nj
tell you I see no cure: for the situa-
ton until the respectable people stop
encouraging the sale Of liquor.
'sH T could go into the churches on
Sunday morning and see every man
stand with his hand raised and take
a solemn vow to buy no more whls-
key, would know the prohibition
question would be answered.
"I am notsworried about the boot
logger. He would be an easy prob
lelh,. if it We're not for the church
members and, others who buy from
him.
"We seem tothave established two
standards, one by which we shall
judge the poor, ignorant man, and
another by which the better class,
edncated man shall be judged.
81 would like to see the present let
down in public morals checked. Not
only in the violation of laws, but in
the payment of debts. Some Of US
think nothing at all of our obliga-
tfons, refusing to meet them, even
though it means Bankruptcy and ruin
for the man We.owe. This tendency
isgentirely too prevalent.
This is only a part of the forceful
charge of Judge. Watkins, and applies
not only to the western district, but
throughout the world at this time.

In Memory of Mrs. Benjamin
Halfacre

Halfacre
! Another home is made to feel the
sting of death in our community. Or
Monday night, November 21st, Mrs
Ann NJ. Sease Halfacre, the beloved
wife of Nh. Benjamin Halfacre
breathed her last. She was born
February IA, 1855, making her stay
on earth 65 years, nine months and
seven days.
/ The deceased had been in linger-
ing health for the past year, and for
more than six weeks her suffering was
beyond expression, notv{ thstanding
the fact that the kind husband and
children left nothing undone that lay
in their power to relieve her suffer-
! ing. But God spoke and said, ''It is
enough" and the light that had kept
the home shining so long went out,
and the spirit went back to God who
gave it.
During all her. extreme illness she
bore it with perfect quietude, telling
the family not to grieve over her that
she felt that death would be an end
to her suffering, and gave them in
structions as to how to dispose of her
body and also how to arrange to car
ry on the domestic affairs after she
was gone.
I have known Mrs. Halfacre ever
since her married life, and ] have
never heard word of harm spoken
of her. She was a devoted, loving,
honest and faithful wife and mother;
and what more can be said in honor
of any one?
She was the daughter of the late
J. Leonard Sease and on May 2,
1878, became the wife of Benjamin
Halfacre. To this union twelve chill
dren were born, four CT whonl have
passed away. She is survived by her
husband and the following children:
three sons, David L., Crenshaw B.
and John H., and five daughters,
Mrs. Ed Feagle, Mrs. Sam Burns,
Mrs. Sam Cook and Misses Lotrye
Lee Halfacre and Mattye Halfacre,
who are still at home. Another
daughter, Miss Maude, who became
the wife Of Mr.. George Settler on
April %, 1905, died July 6, 1918.
Her husband also died the 18th of the
same month, leaving four little boys,
who were left in the care OF their
grandparents; one of whom is now
with his aunt, Mrs. Ed. Feagle. The
other three are still in the care of
their grandfather, Mr.. Halfacre.
Leaving these orphan children bore
heavily upon the mind of the deceas-
ed.
Now, dear weeping husband ard
children, you have the deepest SYM
pathy of my heart and would COM
mend you to the God who brought
YOU into these bitter trials. He will
lead you through. He has never fail
ed in the case if any of his poor Attic
ted ones to realize His own precious
promise, "As thy days, SO shall thy
strength be-"
I ask you in this hour to think of
your mercies and let each of them be
a voice of comfort to you. What are
they? Have there been kind friends
sent to share the bitterness of your
sorrow and give the tribute of their
valued sympathy? Remember that
many poor weeping souls have been
deprived of the kind words of SYM
pathizing friends. !
Mrs. Halfacre was laid to rest on
Wednesday following her death in
Clayton Memorial cemetery beside
her little children, in the presence of
large and sympathizing congrega-
ton. Her funeral services were con-

MR.. MORGENTHAU ON ZION.
ISM.

Worlds Work, the monthly
magazine, has an article in the
last issue from the pen of Mr..
Henry Morgenthau on the SUBJ
ject of Zionism, the New York
Times reprints this article. The
Kansas City Star reprints it in
briefer form, leaving out many
of the essential paragraphs
which appeared in the New York
daily and in the magazine.
Mr.. Morgenthau's opposition
to zionism is not unknown. He
has come out strongly against it
time and again. The article in
the Worlds Work presents in
logical sequence his reasons for
not accepting Zionism.
The tone of Mr.. Morgenthau's
article is controversial. He deals
the hardest blows he can at the
theory of a Jewish state in Pales-
tine. The anti-Zionists will
chuckle with glee when they
read his defense of the anti-Zion-
list stand. The Zionists will feel
hurt and be indignant. Few, if
any, will be convinced so

vantage.
Culture is a valuable asset to
everyone, and this fact can rot
be too firmly impressed upon our
youth. The truly cultured person
is one who combines his mental
attainments with refinement,
sympathy and respect for the
opinions of others. The truly Gull
tivated and educated are modest
and unassuming. They do not
think that they are always in the
right.
The failures of the educated
are frequently due to self-conceit
and their inability to make tie
proper use of what they lave
learned.
1t is an unfortunate thing
that many of our criminals are
among the educated, but that IS
not due to their education, it is
because they have allowed their
thoughts to dwell on that which
is lower in life.
No matter how highly one may
be educated if he has not receiv-
ed the proper training in youth
the benefits received from it are
far from what they would have
been had their thoughts been de-
veloped along the lines of the at
tainment of high ideals.-The

SAMUEL GOMpERs

The American Federation Of
Labor at its annual convention
which closed last week in this
city, again elected Samuel Comp
ers its head for the fortieth time
out of the Al years of its exist
ence.
1t was a wonderful tribute to
a remarkable man, though II
years of age, Mr.. Gompers has
again accepted the leadership Of
an organization of 100000 men
during a period of utmost stress,
which is now confronting it.
Great confidence was shown him
and his constructive, conserva-
tive policies in this reelection.
Mr.. Gompers stands for social
justice. He has devoted his life
to achieving it for millions of his
fellow creatures to whom even
the meaning of the words were
unknown. He is careful to pro-
tect them against the encroach-
ments of radicalism as well as
against the intrenched power of
capital.
A long and arduous task still
confronts him, for which may
strength and length of years be
granted him.-The Denver Jew
ish News.

strongly by his arguments that
they will change their mind.
What is to be gained by a con-
troversial discussion of this
kind ? 1t is hard to see what pur-
pose Mr.. Morgenthau had. He is
a man who looks ahead and he
must have had some motive be-
sides the purpose of just flying
himself which was entirely un-
necessary or of venting his feel
ings and relieving his pent up
emotions, which would be out of
keeping with the character of q
statesman and a business man
whose experiences should have
taught them the value of silence
if nothing is to be gained by
speech.
If Mr.. Morgenthau felt an ir-
res.stible call to ventilate his
ideas with reference to Zionism
it would have been far better if
he had contented himself with a
discussion of it free from contro-
troversy.-Kansas City Jewish
Chronicle.

VALUE OF AN EDUCATION.

Education is of an inestima-
BILE value in life. Without an edu-
cation one is on a big ship with
out a captain to steer him into
the port of safety.
While it is true that many
have achieved success in life
without an education and the
highly educated have frequently
been failures, nevertheless, that
does not prove that education is
not a potent factor in the
achievement of what is noble
and best in life.
Education is not merely a
mass of book learning that can
not be put to practical utility,
but it is the ability to put ones
mental knowledge to unitarian
purposes, and with this end in
view our institutions Of learning
should give their pupils that
training which Will fit them for
this end.
Much of the trouble with our
schools and colleges is that the
pupils are not always taught TO
concentrate, think, reason and
use their imagination. They
pursue their studies in a me-
chanical way in many cases, with
the main object in view % pass
the examination. Such a course
of education is valueless ana
time almost wasted. The power
to concentrate ones thoughts on
any subject is of vital import
ance, and too much stress cannot
be put upon it in our educational
institutions.
Those who do the most think
ing and reasoning out of things
are the ones who get the most
out Of their educational training.
1t is not the amount of know!-
edge that one possesses that
counts, but the amount of think.
ing and reasoning which enables
him to utilize it to the best adj.
