SENSATIONAL EvANGELISTS

Rev. Mort may feel secure in tn,
knowledge that he has Rev. Green o
Lewiston to assist him with the re-
vivai meetings which will be started
here next week. Rev. Green is vel
known here and in his short visits
during the past year has made mum
Der of warm friends. He is an able
earnest speaker and his meetings will
be productive of much good.
Rev. Mort has had number of Of
: fers from travelling evangelists 10 hold
revival meetings here but he prefer
red to have man whom he knew.
Standpoint and Walla Walla have
both had unpleasant experiences with
travelling evangelists this week. At
Standpoint the evangelist made some
extremely slanderous statements
about the school children of that place
and the school board gave him just
so long to get out of town At Walla
Walla a committee waited upon an
evangelist and escorted him out of
town for extreme statements he had
made. Some time ago Moscow had
union revival meetings under the di-
rection of DR.. Bulgin, a professional
soul saver and from all reports the
spiritual welfare of the town was
none the better after his sojourn there.

The evangelist who was invited to
leave the city of Standpoint a few days
ago and who, by the way, accepted
the invitation, is credited with MAX

and which common sense should have
told him was untrue, even though
some zealot had made the assertion
to him. There is no greater work in

first went to Kentucky thirty-two
years ago, when the United States
government took over the control of
the locks and dams on Green and
Barren rivers.
To General Sibert. as United States
engineer. was intrusted the task of re-
facilitating the navigation system of
those two rivers. Under his super
vision locks and dams were rebuilt,
the rivers cleared OF obstruction and
otherwise improved, and navigation
was made free to all craft, resulting
in the rapid development of the bust
ness of that section.
Later General Sibert was trans
ferred to duty in the Panama Canal
zone, and remained there until year
before the United States entered the
World war. While stationed in Pana-
ma he paid visit to Kentucky, and,
stopping at Bowling Green, purchased
a farm of 235 acres, situated on Bar
rem river, with the intention of max
ing this farm his home upon his re-
tirement to civilian life. Soon after

Ripping Rhymes
THE SMOKER
BY WALT MASON

While yet ! may I'm smoking RATS
of Old Kentucky's famous weed; some
day l know that Dr. Crafts will bust
my pipe-a tyrant's deed; he's launch
ing now his bitter shafts against the
solace old boys need. l hate to see a
little lad, who should be learning
things at school, pick up the briar of
his dad, and ply with zest that poison
ed tool; some day he'll know the
habits bad, aI1 ne VINO learns it is a
fool. The smoker has cabbage heart
and up his nerves strange tremors
climb; and divers r1laladies impart the
knowledge that a smokes a crime;
and in the undertaker's cart the
smoker rides before his time. So I
implore our boys and girls to leave
the noxious weed alone, though kings
and dukes and belted earls may boost
tobacco round a throne; where'er the
smoke ascends and curls, the health S
perfection is unknown. And so with
Old Doc Crafts I stand, thus far; no
farther will | go; for there are old
gents in the land who've smoked for
forty years or so; if they must see
their briars Gamer, this life becomes
stretch of woe. So let them, while
they draw their breath. smoke on,
though smoking may be wrong; nor,
| with the front of Dame Macbeth, de-
nounce their course in language
strong; oh, let them smoke themselves
to death, for they'll be dead so long,
so long!

Answers to Questions

Argument-To settle dispute,
please inform me who wrote the say
ing, United we stand, divided we

Pope Morris in the following:

ton:
United we stand, divided we fall
1t made and preserves US nation"
But the origin of the saying was
germinal in the Liberty Song" writ
ten by John Dickinson in 1853, and
published in Boston at or about that
time. His lines are:
Then join hand in hand
Brave Americans all!
By uniting we stand,

lnformation-Can you give me any

Conditions in Johnson City Soldiers Home

No one is surprised to hear of the conditions
that am agent of the bureau Of war risk insur-
ance found in the Soldiers home at Johnson City,
Tenn.
If our soldiers had to submit to indignities
heaped upon them by "hard boiled members of
the military police when they were off duty over
seas, it is not surprising to hear of a similar
treatment at home.
Thousands of disabled and sick soldiers re-
ceived the hard boiled" treatment in New York
and Washington. Why should we be surprised
that Johnson City, in the mountains of Tennes-
see, far from large center of population, should
follow suit? The full story of the indignities
heaped upon our disabled men has not been
written. t~iB7!
There is no defense for the officials who toll
Grated conditions described by an agent who Wis
tied the Johnson City hospital, but the public
also cannot be excused for letting these condi-
tons exist without protesting vociferously.
If an outraged public opinion had come to the
rescue of the first disabled soldier who suffered
an injustice months ago, we would not have the
disgraceful disclosures which now are coming
thick and fast. The silence of the public, of the
men and women whose relatives bravely served
overseas, encouraged, as it were, tolerance of
shameful and disgraceful conditions.
On the day when the press first carried dis

patches of disabled service men walking the
streets, penniless, hungry, and suffering from
their wounds, the public should have arisen in
might and protested in unmistakable language
against the "hard boiled" treatment of their
heroes.
Only few days ago New York newspaper
on its first page told how the coffin of soldier
who had died in action overseas was deposited
at the door of his parents home, and left there
unattended until the father and mother re-
turned Neighbors had to help them carry it to
their apartment on the second floor.
Incidents of this kind reveal callousness of
heart and lack of consideration that is almost
barbarous Quick punishment of the guilty ones
is the only way to check it.
We have had no outrageous incidents of this
kind in Wayne county. Our service men have
not been forced to the last extremes, owing to
the vigorous and prompt action of the officers of
the American Legion post and the cooperation
which they have received through the office of
Representative Elliott
The community can be thankful that the Le-
gion post officials and Representative Elliott and
his assistants have been alert to forestal suffer
ing and agony.
The dilatory policy of the various bureaus in
Washington that handle compensation and SOL
der relief of all sorts have prolonged many an
effort of these to get quick action, but ulti-
mately they have succeeded in procuring justice
for the disabled man. For this condition all of
us should be very thankful to the officers of the
post and our representative. What they have
done for the crippled and disabled men to hurry
up consideration of their cases and to obtain re-
lief is as commendable, as it exemplifies the
abundance of love and kindness that is in their
hearts.

pared with 1872 for the rural, while
the percentage under Is years of age
is 26.7 in the urban population as
against 31.2 in the rural

larger families of children in the coun

Would Issue Bonus Scrip.
Many plans are constantly being adj
vanced for the payment of a bonus to
former service men. The very latest
to be discussed in Washington calls
for issuing direct to each man gov
eminent gold scrip in payment of any
amount congress may designate.
The scrip would be payable to bear
er after a certain period of years, not
less than 35 being suggested. 1t is
proposed to issue the scrip in denomi
nations of $40, $50 and 500.
Proponents of the plan state that
such scrip, though not legal tender
would pass into circulation almost i'm
mediately by common consent.
They would have a fund provided
for the redemption of this scrip by
extending the payment of an equal
amount OF our foreign debt, these Tor
eign bonds to mature several years
before the maturity of the scrip.
Scrip Backed by Gold.
Those who advance the plan would
have the scrip pay little if any inter
est and, they say, there would be ne
quotation for it and it could not be
marked down like Liberty bonds
They would have the scrip notes O.
size not much larger than banl
notes and they would have the scril
payable in gold.
The bonus question is still a liv'
| one Notwithstanding the fact that j
will be held up by the senate financ'
committee the remainder of the pres
ent session of congress.
| There is every reason to believe
however that the bonus bill will max
its temperance either in the senat
! or in the house before next sprini
| during the regular session of congress
which begins next December.
| The scrip payment plan will be on
of many discussed the next time tn
bonus bill is considered.
