SAYS B00TLEGGERS
POSSESS DEVILS

Addressing the congregation of
st. Pauls NJ. E. Church, last night
the Rev. Carlisle L. Hubbard, pas
tor, declared that the prayer of the
unrepenant are in vain.
"Quit praying" he said. until you
repent. If you have evil in your
heart. If you denounce Christ in
public and then pray to Him to
protect you and prosper you. you
only make fools OF yourselves.
"Your prayers" he continued,
don't go as high as your head. God
does not hear the prayers of the
impenitent, unless they repent and
ask forgiveness for their sins"
DR.. Hubbard declared that every
bookmaker and every bootlegger is

When the World Is Filled.

A member of the Royal Geographic society in England estimates that the fertile lands of the globe amount to 2S,OOO,O0O square miles, the steppes to 14OOO,OO0, and the deserts to 100000. Fixing POT persons to the square mile for fertile lands, ten for steppes and one for deserts as the greatest popu- latiOn that the earth could properly nourish, he arrives at the conclusion that when the number of inhabitants reaches about 6,00O,OOO,OO0 our planet will be peopled to it's full capacity.
 If the rate of increase shown by recent census statistics should be uni formly maintained, 1t is shown that the globe would be fully peOpled about the year 2072. But such calcu- lations do not allow for unknown sources of error, and therefore cannot be taken too literally.

ADAM AND EVE GO SHOPPING
Imasina ation in Describing Re- markabie Excursion.

Let us imagine our scapegOat an- cestors attempting an eleven-o'clock stroll through Drang's ten-story de- partment store. Can we not hear the tense ejaculations of our first mother before the mountains of unknown things, wools, satins, silks, challles, organdies and muslins, piled ceiling high before her? Even Adam, who has reputation as a namer of things, might well drop all his Miltonic airs of superiority, and say for once in some dainty form of Edenic language, Eve, dear, I certainly am out of sOundings. I can find names easily enough for birds, beasts and fishes, but all this" (with a gesture of meek hOpelessnesS) lis out of my zone. Yet I am sure it is all intended for your sex; for I'm thinking no man would gear himself up in any of this duffle"-if one may help him to a word.
 Then Eve, if true to her old Edenie form. would retOrt:
 "But Adam. dear, you can't deny that it is all most tempting, and l am going to pick out right away some of that soft, cloudy stuff, the color of a sunrise; I'm sure it would be much prettier than fig leaves for a dress. North American Review.

There's a Difference.

Few people of the United States can play games Many can contest a game for the satisfaction of beating an ad- versary. or to get exercise, but actual Iy to play a game is different matter. Sporting editors, judging by their writ ings, must be the most serious of men, and their earnestness is often anus ing The defeat of a college football team recently called forth a lugubrious utterance from correspondent who evidently felt that the educational in stitution had received blow from which it's scholastic reputation of a century and half would hardly be able to save it. The writer asserted that the football trainers of this insti- tuition were paid insufficiently, and, after taking the authorities to task, reached his climax in these significant words: "A young, inexperienced coach has been asked to assume the respon- sibility of the team, who could be hired at a salary no greater than the average professor in the college re- ceives" In the present state Sf American school athletic affairs this might be considered an extremely high t.-Christian Science Mon- itOr.

As a matter of fact We believe that it can be safely asserted that vast majority of people everywhere are against the principle of mob law, and it is easy and natural to write long editorials condemning it along wlth the people of the town or communi- ty where a lynching is pulled off. We are not denying that it is fit and pro- per to thus condemn it, not the town, the community or the people, but the mob spirit. The place in which 1t occurs is unfortunate, but We have theory that people are pretty much alike, whether north south, east or west. Had the same crime been com mitted in one of those sections where hands were raised in horror, the same wild mob scene might have been en- acted. Mobs are more prevalent in some sections because certain brands of crime are more frequent in those sections In Texarkana Friday night while the mob frenzy was on the town distinguished man who stood for all that represented law and order, said: q was against mob law yes terday and will be again tomorrow, but tonight it seems all right" Und- CT such circumstances men are not normal. Your town would fall a victim to the same frenzy under the same circumstances. We don't know what the answer is unless it be an education of the individual into better control of his impulses and a higher respect of law and order. We would not for moment defend the spirit that makes mobs, yet We be- lieve that Texarkana is composed Of exactly the same high grade citizen ship as would be found in any city of like size in the United States. The light man at the right place at the right time is often sufficient to bring men back to normalcy. We rememo- CT just a few years ago here in Ash
 down an illustration in point. A horrible crime and been committed. A woman and her babe had been driven into the woods and murdered. The fienG was captured and confessed, af- ter which he was whisked away. He
 was brought back in few days for
 trial. but before this Judge Cowling
 and other cool headed men called all the men together, and together they
 talked the matter over. When the
 negro was brought back he was al
 lowed to walk down the streets to the
 jail and no hand was raised He was
 executed in the regular way. We
 are no better than the average town,
 but We took council and didn't do it.
 Probably that is as near a solution as
 We will ever get.

WAS NOT HIS LUCKY DAY
When He Attempted to Get Away With Umbrella.

Young Bob Mcintosh had always prided himself on his honesty and up- rightness, but it was rainy night when he saw an umbrella apparently deserted on a seat in the trolley car. He picked 1t up and examined 1t. It could not be very valuable, 1t was hardly worth while turning 1t in to the motorman of the one-man car and the walk from the trolley to the home of young Bob Mcintosh was a good four blocks in the pouring rain.
 As the car neared the street, says the New York Sun, the honest young man looked around and seeing that none of his fellow passengers was noticing him he picked up the um- brella and walked up to tbe motor mans platform. There with the glib ness of one with a guilty conscience he conversed with the pilot until the car drew up at his street.
 Well. good night p said young Bob Mcintosh as he lightly stepped from the car and raised his umbrella.
 Good night" Quoth the motorman. but as Bob made his way across pud- dies to the curb he noticed that the car had not continued on it's way; in- deed, even the door had not yet been closed. He had started down the street to his home when mighty "Hey!" made him tum.
 'How far are you gOln' to go with that umbrella, young manT' shouted the motorman. "ThS time 1t hap pened to be mine," said that worthy as he slammed the door shut and shot the car forward.

So far as has been reported the school districts over the county voted the limit in taxes to support the schools. There may be an element in our population who would go the limit to abolish taxes, even to the repudiation of bond isues, when it comes to voting a school tax they may be depended upon to fall in line.
