IN place at the country club. The
trap has been leased from The Norm

Ideal variety, which can never be
bought, but Is subject to lease. As
soon as possible the local trap shoot
ers will organize, or rather reorgau-
lze, the Americas Gan club. which
was flourishing organization uu-
til a few months ago.

A GOOD PHILOSOPHY

| wish to thank all who helped to
save my little home and / regret to
know that someone had vengeance
against me for something | am I'M
aware of. l hope who ever it is
have wronged will come out into the
light of reason and be human enough
to let me know why if there is
grounds between us of a stormy ma
ture. We might get together and
clear the past and be men together,
forgetting the bad and remembering
the good.
When man fails to understand the
responsibility he owes to himself
and to others he floats in the under
current of society and doesn't have a
real purpose of life, but is led by
impulse which only attracts others
of their own kind. Do they not
know that we all must have an in
terest in our community in which
we live and that we should feel re-
sponsible for our part alike, attract
alike, so we must be responsible for
our own success, for when you help
yourself by honorable endeavor you
lend strength to the community in
which you are part. Man need not
live in the sloth of despair or the
undercurrent gravitating below the
plane of decency. We must be re-
sponsible for our part played in the
great drama of life. Each one, if
he expects to live in the hearts of
others and hear the kind words spok-
en- in his behalf, he must grasp all
opportunities, hold fast to all deeds
of Justice, leaving the clouded path
behind and come out into the sun
shine of hope, love, life and liberty.
Men who choose to eyade the law
against the rights of others are heap
ing discomfort to appear later in life
of which many become an outcast,
caused by their own making into a
state of distorted mind against the
rights of others who toll within a
sympathy for their fellow men and
for the good of all. We must respect
the law of justice above all. Our
homes would not be safe without it.
We could not depend on anything
without it, we must respect the law.
By doing so We ourselves are pro-
tected. Our home is the center of
life, where happiness should reign.
OSCAR AMOS.

LET US PRAY

The Christian people of the United
States now have rare opportunity
to demonstrate their faith in prayer
and their fealty to the principles
taught by the Prince of Peace. On
November 18th an international con-
ference is to meet at Washington to
consider the question of the limita-
lions of ornaments. If on Sunday
November 6, every church within the
boundaries of this nation would hold
special services at which the mem
bers would earnestly join in praying
that the delegates to the conference
may be inspired with wisdom and I'M
selfishness to such an extent that
they may be successful in working
out an effective plan for accomplish
ing the desired end, the effect might
be far reaching, at least such a unity
of prayer would be an impressive
demonstration of the faith of the
church people of this country and of
their desire to forever put an end to
the futile and suicidal race between
nations for naval and military SUI
premacy.
st. James said that The effectual
fervent prayer of a righteous man
availeth much The welfare of the
human race is so vitality involved in
the proceedings of the conference
that every person who believes in the
efficacy of prayer should certainly
be ready to join in fervent supplica-
ton that the delegates may be guild
ed by divine wisdom.
In any event, the trend of public
opinion which such a concert of ac-
ton by all the churches of all creeds
and denomination would evidence,
could not fail to have an influence
on the representatives of this and
other nations.
Anything that is worth working
for is worth praying for and when
great moral, as we'll as economic, is
sues are at stake the churches of the
land should naturally take the lead
in voicing the sentiments of their
members without fear and without
equivocation.

from the Army's social secretaries
show that drunkenness among men
frequenting it's hotels and homes
has almost entirely disappeared. In
one hotel % men, who before pro-
hibition could muster only a dime
among them, now have bank ac-
counts ranging from 500 to $500.
Similar conditions obtain in every
community of the land. We do not
have to go to New York to find evil
dence of the beneficent results of
the eighteenth amendment to the
constitution. Right here in Pullman
the sight of an intoxicated person
has become a rarity. Local mer-
chants and bankers can tell of men,
formerly regarded as deadbeats be-
cause they squandered their money
on liquor, who now meet their obi
cations promptly and spend their
earnings in providing comforts for
their families,
National prohibition has not
stopped the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquor, but it has re-
moved temptation from the path of
the growing generation. has brought
sunshine and happiness into thou
sands of homes, has stimulated bust
ness, has transformed MASTERS into
savers, has separated the law break
ers from the law abiding citizens
and has forced the habitual drinkers
to sneak about seeking for booze
before they can find it.

WE CAN'T AFFORD WAR

The peasants. farmers, laborers,
mechanics, tradesmen, merchants,
manufacturers and bankers of the
whole world want peace. Those who
are not inspired by humanitarian
motives want it for business reasons.
The idea that anyone can make a
profit out of war and keep it has
been exploded. The theory that the
world can continue its ornaments
expenditures and keep out of bank
ruptcy has gone the way of the ZR 2.
Who is there then that wants war?
Who then stands in the way of dis
armament and the world peace?
When an overwhelming majority of
the people everywhere want some
thing that will above all else make
for their happiness and prosperity
why can't they get it? Is it because
the worlds leaders are fumblers, I'M
fitted for the sponsibilities they
have assumed?
We are going to find out. We are
going to have a showdown in No
Vember. We shall know then wheth-
er these leaders are sincerely for
peace, secretly for war. or Just in
competent trimmers; whether they
are really statesmen or merely poll
ticians with the vision and ideals of
ward healers, dressed up in broad
cloth In many of its aspects the
Versailles fiasco was like a partisan
! convention where every petty poll
tlclan OF the dominant faction got
ms We can't afford another like it.
The purpose of the conference has
been carefully limited, but so far as
the people are concerned there is no
unit to what they can see, hear and
learn about the wishes and oualifica-
tons of their leaders. And the linn
its have been imposed by the
VIII of the leaders and not bv the
VIII OF the people. The conference
cannot go too far in the direction of
disarmamnt and peace to suit the
world
Closed session, barred doors and
tuffed key-holes will not keep the
secrets of the conference. Plati-
tudes' buck-passing, postponements
until a more convenient season will
not avail to excuse a failure TO ar
rive at a clear-cut decision. This
is the convenient season; this is the
appointed hour in the history of the
world; this is the leaders big chance
TO prove up For this is not onlv p

world will not stand for another

fundamental question before the con
terence. Works, not words, must
