PURIM MARCH IA

The mirthful feast of Purim will be
celebrated in Jewish circles this year
On Monday evening, March IA. While
halliday of minor character
its use of the scroll of Esther has en-
deared the festival to the Jewish
p Nople who make it an occasion for
popular rejoicing.
The services for this festival are
wholly concerned with the reading of
the story of Esther, which, from time
to time, assumed a more prophetic
character and forevisioned, in part
the checkered career of the Jews.
On this day the Jewish people re.
member the miraculous redemption
wrought for their ancestors by the
loyalty and devotion of Mordecai
uncle of Queen Esther, whose fidelity
to his king and country made possible
the rescue of the king from the hands
of plotters.
Purim has always been the occasion
for mirthful celebrations in Jewish
! families and social groups. As on al
occasions of happiness the Jewish

That the recent clash between Sir
George Younger, leader of the British
conservative secesslonists, and Pre-
mier David Lloyd George, leader of
the coalition government, is not mere
ly personal clash but a symptom of
the struggle on the part of the three
leading political parties, Conservative,
Liberal and Labor, to abandon the CO.
alition system is the viewpoint now of
British politictl critics. Sir George
Younger recently launched an open re-
volt movement against Lloyd George

made it plain that either Sir George

EMPHASIZES ABSENCE
OF CHRIST IN AFRICA
IN MISSIONARY TALK

"One-half of the world has no
Christ" was the fact emphasized by
Willis S. Rowe of Victoria Falls,
Africa, in a stereopticon lecture at
Grace NJ. f. church Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Rowe, being a returned mission
airy from the African fields, was able
to point out and explain the situations
which actually exist among the Afri-
cans. Assisted by a good assortment
of slides, Mr. Rowe brought valu-
able message before his large audi
ence.
Delegates from Methodist churches
of Richmond and surrounding towns
attending the meeting were: First M.
E. church, Grace NJ. E. church, Third
NJ. f. church, Boston, Centerville,
Cambridge, Chester and Webster.
"A great field is open for Methodist
missionary work. especially in Africa,
which is by far the largest nation and
the nation needing missionary work
the most. Over 81 100000 heathens
are in this land awaiting the mission
airy work of the Methodists and we are
not touching more than one in 1000 of
the 21,000,000.
Three million heathens are in one
section of Africa, and only seven meth
odist missionaries are detailed to this
enormous group. All these facts should
emphasize the necessity for activity
on the part of Methodists in this
country to advance the mission work
in Africa
Heather Conditions Prevail
Mr.. Rowe stated that many pictures
which he had taken were unfit to be
shown On account of the heather con-
ditions under which many of the Afri-
cans lived He said that the average
African ate from one bowl with his
lands. and that the task of washing
dishes never presented itself to the ma
ives
Women do all the work in Africa,
carry wood water and food back to
the home for the comfort of the hus-
hand. Sometimes the women make
trips of five miles for a jug of water
and carry 1t back on their heads.
The Methodist church does not
know of the conditions in Africa and
that is the reason for my showing to
you the actual facts which exist in
this country If Methodists were to
begin with vigor and try to do real
mission work to the African heather
within a short time they would be on
Christ's side and living Christian
lives"
Mr.. Rowe concluded that, for sue
cessful mission work to Africa the
missionaries must be equipped with
the necessary tools and funds to ad
vance the work in the African fields
even more extensively than before tC
bring the people to a Christian life.

ELF.GOVERNMENT IN ALASKA.

The ncwsp papers of Alaska giving considerable
publicity the suggestion of E. A. sherman OF the
Forestry Bureau that the portions of Alaska east
of the 1921 degree longitude and south of the
Arctic Circle should be erected into state. While
none of The papers have yet fully endorsed the
proposition all those which have commented upon 1t
have said it is worthy of earnest consideration.
This is the first time the matter has been con-
sdered in the North 1t has been the unanimous
conviction in the Territory that the destiny of Alaska

that destiny shall achieved Alaska cannot,
OF course be o1c the United States. great many
people in the Territory have believed, however, that
the campaign fer Statehood will be a long drawn out
affair and that the people should have full Ter
rtoral of government pending the acquisition
Of State government. With such government,
these contend the people could run their own local
affairs and lay the foundations for the future State

who make this contention. 1t has urged full

account of the it would not have time to give
adequate consideration to the measure
Former Delegate Grigsby said that he did not

THERE is NO CONNECTION.

People should confuse the present Ku Klux
Khan with the organization that achieved much
for the South during the disorganization period
lowing the Civil War, when it necessary to re-
deem government in several of the States from the
control of horde of recently freed slaves under the
control CT designing politicians and lot of carpet
baggers. Under the leadership of the gallant and
irrepressible Forrest the Old Klux Khan won for
itself imperishabe place in the history country
But General Forrest and the other leaders of the
old Ku KluX Khan Americans and were imbued
with the principles of American institutions. They
understood very clearly the dangers that lurked in
the Invisible Empire, an Empire within a Republic
and the moment its work was done the invisible
of the Ku Klux Khan dsbanded The re-
gala and forms Of the organization were retained
for period and used in unworthy manner to the
chasrn of the best people of the South and the dis
grace of the country by Ku klux outlaws But ii was
not long before the ursurpers succumbed before the
righteous Indignation of law-abiding people.
There has been need since the dsbanding of

DEFECTS OF DIRECT PRIMARY.

PERHAPS The most deporabe feature of the direct
primary as ii operates in most of the States is that II
has made il almost impossible for the office to seek
the men 1t is difficult to get the right man for
high office deliberately TO out and seek an once
Usually the right is not office seeker at all.
Usually the right for responsible position is al
ready engaged and interested in his work when the
time TO select officers round. The result is
that almost always the voters given opportunity
to choose among ID bunch of who want offices
and generally The men who offices those who
are not making good in private enterprise.
The primary election law should be changed 50
hat conventions may be held and candidates placed
in nomination 10 be voted for at the primaries. They
should also provide that candidates may be named by
the filing substantial petitions and the petitioners
should be required only to ask the person petit
toned to run they should declare in the petition
that they propose to support him for the office.
Then it would probably be good plan to have
only one ballot at the primary election, just like al
the general election, and have the two receiving the
highest number Of votes in the primary election be
the candidates the general election regardless oil
The party or element they represent, unless can
ddate should receive majority of all the votes cast

No organization that enters politics the Ku
Klux Khan did in Oklahoma, Oregon and Texas which
wears masks and maintains secrecy concerning the
personnel of its membership is needed in the United
States 1t is likely that the Ku Klux Khan
would last year out if it would publish list of it's
membership in every community in which it has an
organization. There would probably be such sour
rying for that there would not be enough left
to hold meeting in most of the assembling places.
