ABOUT THE
LOBBIES

Each morning when the legisla-
tors assemble they find some paper
or communication on their desks,
placed there by persons interested in
this or that, set forth on the printed
page. One Of these was signed by
D. B. Johnson, secretary of the In
diana Civic Union. Such organiza-
tions, taking the name of league,
union and the Pike. are often formed
when Legislation is thought to be
needed. This particular organization
asks for repeal of useless laws and
recodihcation; a constitutional con-
vention, strengthening of law en-
forcement and an improved impeach-
ment or removal bill"

package freight AT least ten rail
roads are shipping goods in un-
broken cars to a zone station.
Motor trucks are then used TO
carry the |. c. l. freight to inter
venins stations at which the heavy
freight trains used to stop to dis
charge even a single small package.
When the railways so a step fur
cher and find that the same motor
truck can pick up freight in the
city, transport if. and actually
deliver it to the village, they viii
be approximating the service that
is now being given by Independent
trucking companies.
If the railways try TO set on
without the motor truck. they will
hurt no one but themselves. We
are living in very modern, very
rapid world Old ways, old mechan-
isms are useful only as long as they
are productive; and now the motor
vehicle, new and very useful article
has come to claim public approval.

HEAVEN DECLARED
NEAR NORTH-STAR
Great Void Noted by Astron-
omers Believed Entrance
to Celestial Realm.
By Consolidated Press.

By Consolidated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, May THE theory
that heaven exists somewhere in the
vicinity off the North Star and that
great void noted there by astronomers
is probably the entrance to the celes-
tiai realms, was advanced at the
meeting of the Worlds Christin
Fundamentals Association, held here
This week. at which a fight to the
finish was declared against modern
ism and plans were made to urge anti
evolution Tvs.
Belief was expressed that the
whale swallowed Jonah, that Lot :
wife was turned to pillar of salt,
that Daniel emerged without a
scratch from the lions den, and that
Eve was made from one of Adams s
ribs.
Every Word Accepted.
I'VE accept the Biblical word with
out question" declared Miss Ruth
Wahlquist, secretary of the asSocia
ton. World creation was not
through any process of evolution. but
was divine expression of omnipotent
power. Woman's origin in the rib
Of Adam was an actuality and not
an allegory.
DR.. Richard Wilson, professor of
Old Testament history at Princeton
since 1900, declared that in all his
study he had never found any his
torical evidence to disprove any fact
in the Bible,
"You often hear the objection" he
said, that a whales mouth isn't big
enough for it to swallow man. But
literally translated that passage in
Jonah does not read, whale but a
big fish, Who of us knows enough
about big fish of the world to say
that there wasn't one large enough
10 swallow a man in the Mediter-
ranean in the year 500 b. C.?''
Explains Daniels Escape.
IL don't see why Daniels escape
would cause SO much wonder" he
continued. There are some people
whom animals won't touch and there
are some odors that an aimal will not
go near. / think there was an odor
about Daniels clothes that kept the
lions away"
He classified the experience of Lots
wife as lone of the chemical miracles"
like the changing of water into wine.
Paul Rood, vice president of the
association, declared that one of the
needs of this generation is to put hell
back into its proper place in the
teaching of religion.
I'VE need to have a Biblical preach
ing of hell" he said, mot the hell of
Dante, but Christ's conception of hell.
No one has spoken of hell oftener than
He. He refers to it as a motive for
right living"
Resolutions were adopted urging a
Nationwide movement for laws
against evolution and for the eXten-
sion of a propagandist group known |
as the Flying Fundamentalists.'

Armistice Day
November IL

Governor Hunt has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation for Armistlce
day, Nov. IL, 1927:
Armistice day, 1927, marks the
ninth anniversary of the ending OF the
great World war.
1t is fitting and proper that this
day be commemorated and that the
high ideals and sentiments which ac-
tuates our people during the terrible
war should be reviewed.
The League of Remembrance IN
New York City was established to Sc
cure the annual simultaneous and uni
versal observance of Armistice day by
two minutes silence at II a. m. on
Armistice day and has requested the
governors of each state to cooperate
with them in order that those who
died in the great war might be hon
ored in very impressive way.
Therefore /, George w. P. Hunt,
governor of the state of Arizona, do
hereby designate and set aside Fri
day, November IL, 1927, as Armlstice
day, and | call upon the people OF
Arizona to hold appropriate exercises
in commemoration of the signing OF
the armistice. And further suggest
that our people observe two minutes
silence at IL a. m. on Armistice day
in honor of those who sacrificed their
lives in the World war.
