The Newest Thing In Religions
There are adventurous believers who
BY OR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright 1921. by Frank crans)

There are adventurous believers who are always ready for something To all such who have worked their way through the various cults which, from tune to time, have spread widely through the country, 1 would recommend brand system which have just heard of in England.
 It is the Fathist Scientist movement and calls it. self the Kosnnon church.
 As I gather this seems to be the Uni versal Religion toward which we have all been bndly stumbling
 It is the simplest of all religions because Faithist Scientists have rules, doctrines any of the other things that heretofore have made trouble.
 They don't need such things. They guided by direct inspiration. This they get from angel com munication.
 The Kosmon Church was founded in England by MT. F. T. A. Davies.
 MT. Davies gave up a lucrative linoleum business forty years ago in order to devote his whole time to listening to angel voices.
 Although this is more dverting than handling linoleum it does not pay so we'll, since, although Mr. Davies holds position in Kosnon which ranks with that of Cardinal in the Church of Rome he gets only four pounds week out of it. Stll the pleasure of socating with angels may be worth the difference.
 MT. Davies has dog, Irish terrier, who also belongs. "That dog" he said 'has wonderful medium- stic powers. He will sit by the hour sometimes watch ing the angelic Beings pass through the room.p
 To correspondent of Lloyds Sunday News, MT. Davies said:
 "All the other churches and sects are losing potency We hear the angels spirits sometimes they speak through men, sometimes through automatic writing. Sometimes we see and hear them.
 q have spoken face to face with the who built the Pyramids. That achievement, of course was work of angles.
 "our Sacred Book 'oahspe,' explains all other Bibles and is the most wonderful book in the world
 "It gets its name thus: O. for the sound of the ocean breaking the shore; ah,' for sign on mans lips he looks up at the starry heavens and spe for spirit
 "sOahspe' was given to us by angel communica- tion in 1882.
 sIt is taking humanity one hundred thousand years to reach the Era of Kosmon, but seventy-two l thousand of those years have passed.
 ssEven today a man is thought mad if he speaks of angel communion, but prophecy that in another angels is possible" I There may be some who doubt Mr.. Davies's acty and who question especially whether Mr. Davies knows what dog is thinking about. But then there are always skeptcs.

Cave Creek Control


 Before and especially during and after the Cave creek flood August The Republican frequently pressed impatence the delberation. say the inexcusabe hesieton, with which of the parties in interest approached the Cave creek flood control movement There apparent those Jealouses and clashings which often halted progress this community.
 We are pleased to observe that the brush has been cleared away and that contract between the parties interest is to be drawn at early date and that soon thereafter bids the construc ton of a dam will be asked for.
 There ought not to be much uncertainty as to this feature of the proceeding. Bidders will know what they will have go against, the available for this improvement being sa5oooo The Water Users association, whose plan of last spring has been in the adopted, states that would undertake the construction the works at that figure It not in the construction business but would assume the work in order that there might be no diversion of funds extravagant contractors profits.
 Things have reached such stage that do not think any further for delay intervene And certainly there should not be the slightest delay
 It will probably be nearly year before the work be completed But by prompt action it can be so far advanced that any damage from floods which likely in the late winter early spring may be minimized if not entirely obviated.

Organized Begging Abolished
Ie.s Time Wasted.


 An outstanding advantage to the organizations themselves is that they do not have to stage their own fi- nancial campaigns, so they have more time for their work. Some people, too, are being drawn into the social work of the city who re- fused before, because they disliked the begging end of relief work
 A point that Rochester considers of special importance is that the people are beginning to understand the pur- pose of the city's philanthropies. The fact that one person in 10 needs help at some time in life does not ordinarily impress people with its personal significance. If they have enough money to pay their bills they see no reason to imagine themselves as possibly becoming one of the city's problems. But sickness. unemploy- ment. death. blindness, fire. or any other catastrophe does put many people in a position where they need help, temporarily perhaps. That emergency may never come, but to think for a minute what it would mean is enough to show the citizens of any community why they should support it's philanthropic work.
 The community. chest manager shows the city what its relief and SOClaI welfare WOTk COHSlSlS or Dy steady publicity.
 Before we started the chest" said one worker at the headquarters, about all the newspapers ever print ed about philanthropic agencies was the fact that a certain organization had meeting, followed by a list of those present, or maybe by a tabulated financial statement. And of course. nobody read it. and they 1r., oh hn and settlements. and homes.
 But now we keep in touch with the work of the agencies and hunt out the human interest and print stories about the institutions All through the year we don't give the people chance to forget about tie work that their money is doing"
 Instead of people losing their en- thusiasm for the one campaign a year in place of 50 a year, Rochester is adding new interests to it's com munity chest burden and getting the money to support them

Serious obstacles in the way of prohibition en- forcement have been interposed by newspaper and magazine articles and stories by the latter de- scribing the wholesale general violation the law by persons greater less standing by the d. rection of attention defects of the law this spect many well short story writers have been conspicuous offenders perhaps without intending be or without having thought of the. effect upon weak individuals.

That was . rather ungallant thing as well as an impolitic done by the young of the high school student body election of officersdenying to- the young ladies any representation the official list There are nearly. though not quite. girls as boys in the student body The girls have hitherto been allowed the secretaryship and, we believe, vice presidency They have also been represented in the editorshp of either the high school journal or the annual.
 Such a result of the election could have been de- termined only by prearrangement- It is impossible that all could have the polls each with an in dvidual determination to exclude the young ladies.
 In the act the hand of the clock has been turned legs of woman of voice all affairs which concern men and women has been recognized Here. a prtvi- legs previously enjoyed has been taken away.
 We think if the boys had been old enough to oo- serve the fate of Arizona politicians of of years ago they would not have done this thing which we suppose they did rather in the way joke The politicians used to joke with the women of Arizona by promising give them suffrage and until the last moment acting if they really meant to do so But the politicians were afraid to trust the women and tho saloonkeepers were especially afraid of them, and the politicians be guided somewhat by the wishes of the sa1oonkeepers.
 But . time came in day when the women could be no longer denied. They given the vote and now where arc the old-t time politicians7 And what happened to the saloons once the women were armed with the recorded in Arizona history the adoption prohibition five before national prohibition became effective
 It doesn't pay to joke with women. They some times have a deficient sense of humor.

 O. The old timers all say we will have a hard winter because the musk rats have heavy pelts, the squirrels are laying up an unusually large store of nuts, and ducks have been seen going south earlier than usual. Is this true?-F. G. w.
 A. The weather bureau says that none of these things is any indica- tion of how severe the weather will be- The unusual thickness of the muskrat's fur is probably due to a good food supply this year. A sqnir- rel gathers all the nuts he can, and the crop is good in many sections. Ducks have been unusually abundant for several years past and hence the early flights have been noticed more than usual.
 o. Is it true that longevity runs in families7-L. H. A.
 A. Scientists seem generally agreed that longevity is inherited that is. the son of a man who lived to great age is more apt to live to a great age than the son of a man who died early of natural causes Alexander Graham Bell established this fact by a study of the famous Hyde genealogy. Another authority estimates that 50 to 75 per cent of the death rate is due to heredity: that is. that percentage of deaths are due to inherited constitutional con- ditions, and could not have been post poned any considerable length of time by change of environmental con- ditions

 \ Daily Poem ,JLuST y 'REMLkOER

Once on a time. not long ago. Our land was thrilled with high
 romance; Our soldiers marched to meet the foe And save the world; the soil of
 France With blood of Yankee lads was wet. Shed in the cause they battled for, It is so easy to forget
 Once on a time we had a war! The sacrificial spirit died And while the world cried out for
 aid
 We held aloof, we stood aside Talking of stocks and bonds and
 trade; Mammon resumed his ancient thrall We showed no seeming to abhor, And only vaguely we recall "Once on time we had a war!" Shall all our dreams be swept away Upon a tide of riches swirled, Are we content to be today
 The welcher- nation of the world? By selfishness Rome's empire fell; Is money all we're living for? Lord, help us to remember well Once on a time we had war; Copyright, 1921, N. E. A. Service)
