basing his argument on the bible.
which he has read very much more
than the editor Of this paper has
read it, he comes to the final con.
elusion that the hell spoken of in
the Bible always refers to the
grave.
Maybe Mr.. Renouf is right. Ii
he is, then we'd like to have him
interpret these passages from the
Bible in the light of his argument
that hell and the grave are syn
ionymouS terms. 1.-The wicked
shall be turned into hell" Why
limit it 10 the wickedl Don't the
righteous go to the grave the same
as the wickedg "In hell he lifted
mp his eyes, being in torment
Isn't the grave supposed 10 be a
quiet, restful place? Why have to
lift up eyes out OF the grave, in
torment?
As a matter of fact the Sheol
of the Hebrew and the Hades of
the Greeks usually refer to the
grave. But Gehenna, or the valley
of IIinnom, was known to the Jews
as a place where the refuse of the
city was carted out and dumped
on fire whose smoke assembled
day and night, forever and ever.
In this light, tbs antithesis OF
heaven, was this hell. 1t was a
place, it had real fire, and'it com.
ported in every manner to the pre-
sent orthodox view concerning a
place of everlasting torment.
Like brother Renouf, the editor
is but little interested in the sub
ject, as the theories and arguments
of the wisest, are but guess work
but in order to keep the RECORD
straight, this comment is added tC
prove that the Bible does NOT ust
the words grave and hell as always
Synonymous in meaning.

Doubtless many II your readers
have appreciated the hearty sup
port which the News-Record has
afforded Governor Il. Ii. Hartley
in his bold and sincere efforts to
cut GRAFT in the State OF Wash
ington, where graft is now King
The Governors attempts nave
excited much opposition and many
'rebukes from ii wspapers as
shameless as they are demoraliz-
ing.
Doubtlass the plain people of
the state who pay the bills" are
cautioned against mwarranted
newspaper, professional robbers

tltutcs of Education who Play
Politics at ~"
Not long ago fourteen men LOST
their lives IN the Shenandoah dis
lsier becus Of graft and IN
competency Of officials. -Four
teen sorlowine wives and their
children must faer life alone for
the crime OF another.
However mo- ONE was 're-enlled,
Governor Hartley merits the
full support Of oil readers who are
not affiliated with the graft zone,
IN this, his hour of trial.
Truth crushed to earth shall
rise again"
Sincerely,

stella Dallas bares the love life
Of the central character, played by
Belle Bennett. 1t pictures a girl In
love with love, and unfolds her
amorous nature, her marriage and
wildly visualizes the heights to
which she rose and the depths to
which she fell. The story is ro-
nance, realistic with laughter and
pathos, leaving Stella as puzzled as
life is itself.
Ronald Colman, in the role of Ste
phen Dallas, Is afforded an opportun-
ity to appear In a role entirely diff
ferent from anything yet attempted
by this most popular performer,
whose popularity has been increas-
ing steadily for the past two years
until he is now without rival in his
own particular field.
He plays the part Of an earnest
and serious-minded young business
man, whose romances seemed des-
tined for failure until the scattered
threads are gathered and weaved
into more delightful hue.
Charlie Davis and his gang, who
are continuing on their trip around
the world, will offer q musical pro-
gram, entitled "Bolsheviki." A spe-
clal musical score to accompany the
feature picture will be played by Bob
