THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

We wish at this time to lay aside
for a brief period the historical treat
ment of the Bible Distribution Move
ment and emphasize certain phases of
this work which are carried on by the
American Bible Society.
The American Bible Society is a
missionary organization whose sole
object is to encourage a wider circula-
ton of the Holy Scriptures. 1t does
a fourfold work: Translation, publ
cation, distribution, service to the
blind.
A brief word concerning this four
fold task may be Of interest to our
readers. In the field of translation,
some portions of the Bible appears in
a new language on an average of once
every five weeks. This contemplates
the employment of skilled translators
who are not only thoroughly familiar
lar in which the Scriptures must ap-
pear, but have in addition to this
knowledge of syntax background of
culture which enables them to bring
the atmosphere of revelation into the
new speech. In this responsibility
the Society has noteworthy share.
In the field of publication the So
ciety publishes the Scriptures in many
languages and bindings, especially the
inexpensive editions, without purpose
of profit.
During a recent fve-year period
the Society distributed an average Of
10,S22,4S9 volumes annually in al
most 800 languages, stupendous
program of distribution, certainly I'M
equalied by any other book.
In its service to the blind the Soci-
ETY. prepares embossed Scriptures in
Braille, which are furnished to and for
the blind at price very far below
cost. Type for the Braille Bibles is
very costly and the field fortunately
rather limited which pushes produc-
ton costs far above those of any
other volumes of the Scriptures. Yet
the comfort they bring to those who
sit in darkness cannot be measured by
the dollar mark.
To carry on this mighty task the
Society must receive each year up
wards of $325,OOO from living donors.
Voluntary gifts, whether large or
small, are welcomed and may be sent
to the Treasurer, Bible House, Aston
Place, New York.

a loss to know just what their gifts
will accomplish. Your gift to the

THE MAINE ELECTION

All sorts of reasons and excuses
have been given for the Maine cleo
ton result, Perhaps no one reason is
valid one because there were several
reasons doubtless for the unexpected
Democratic victory in the state last
week. In the first place the personal
ity of the candidates had something
to do with it, and again, we are told
that the wet and dry issue entered
into it. The Republicans of Maine had
adopted bone dry platform and the
candidates for Congress were bone
drys. The Republican candidate for
governor took no decided stand on the
issue and the Democratic platform
and candidates were dripping wet.
The fact that the Democrats gained so
heavily in the cities indicates that the
liquor issue may have had something
to do with the result.
But this was not all of it. The Re-
publicans are now suffering from the
fact that they are in power at time
of worldwide depression and are be-
ing blamed for the depression by a
great many people. Of course the ad-
ministration had nothing to do with
bringing on this depression. But in
times like tie present the Gins" al
ways suffer and the "outs" gain. This
is shown by the number of political
upsets there have been in foreign
nations since the depression started.
Few nations outside the absolute au-
tocracies have the same government
they possessed when the depression
got under way. The same trend is
shown in our own country in the way
in which officials in both parties have
been defeated for denomination.
Undoubtedly the dissatisfaction of
the depression had it's effect on the
Maine election. The result is a severe
blow for the Republicans but if they
now redouble their efforts until the
first of November they may gain from
this early knowledge of the extent of
the movement against the party in
power. If the Republicans are to win
in November, and such a result is by
no means impossible, they will have to
tighten their belts and go to it. They
cannot rely on any belief that the
trend has turned and that time is
working for the Republicans. The
only things which will answer now
are genuine cooperation and contin-
uous effort.

WHY MISREPRESENT?

A man who deliberately misrepre-
sents another has committed grave
offense. However, there have always
been people in every community who
delighted in leaving a false impression
concerning someone or some business.
Some people will misrepresent their
competitor, thinking that they will be
the gamer, and might be for a while,
but it will eventually become known,
and when it does it always rebounds
on the one who has thus acted.
We have seen innocent people suf-
fer on account of misrepresentation
of their character, and in various
other ways, all on account of some
misstatements of some envious per-
son. There is a golden rule which it
would be we'll for US all to follow: eff
you can't say something good about
your neighbor, don't say anything"
You take most campaigns for office,
and there are always few who will
stoop to misrepresent their opponent.
This is wrong, and one reason why
we have never had any desire to be
candidate for office. You will hear
one fellow speak, and you would think
his opponent was the crookedest fell
low in the world, and he will come
along and tell you about the other fell
low and you just don't know which
one is telling the truth. In such cases
we wonder sometimes if they both are
not right in their assertions. If they
are, then both should go down in de-
feat.
Occasionally you will find bust
ness man will misrepresent his COM
petitor, thinking he will get business
that his competitor has been getting.
He might succeed for a while, but
when you find a fellow like this he
will finally lose the confidence of the
people; and when he does he is going
to get a hard fall; and he deserves
one and has it coming.
Let us be square with each other,
and when we say anything about any,
body, let it be the truth.

FEAR STILES INITIATIVE

The only thing that keeps most of
US from realizing our own POSSIBLE
ties and of getting the highest salts
faction out of life is fear. There are
very few human beings in the world
who are not afraid of something, and
as long as one is afraid of anything
he cannot achieve perfect happiness.
Primitive man must have lived in
a state of almost constant terror. He
was afraid of wild beasts, afraid of
enemies of other tribes, afraid of the
thunder and lightning, afraid Of evil
spirits that lurked in the darkness of
the forest-of real dangers and of I'M
real dangers which he imagined. Very
few people in these days have the per-
fectly natural physical fears thatsur-
rounded the lives of our ancestors.
But who of us has not had some men,
tai fear, fear of something that has
not happened but which we think may
happen to ourselves or our loved
ones?
In the past two or three years the
people of the United States have been
the prey of new kind of fear. They
have been afraid that, in the popular
phrase, the bottom has dropped out of
everything. They have feared that
never again would they have job,
that the factories that have shut down
would never start up, that they would
never be able to sell the products of
their farms-those and a thousand
other fears which have no relation to
common sense or reality seemed to
take possession of perhaps the major
ity of Americans.
And that is one of the reasons we
have been slow in coming back from
the economic crisis. We have been
afraid to use our, intelligence and COM
mon sense and go ahead when every
body else was afraid to do anything
but accept conditions as they are and
paint them, mentally, much worse than
they are.
We see signs that this widespread
fear is beginning to disappear. We
do not believe it ever had any real
foundation, and we believe people are
waking up to that fact. If we are
right, and hope and courage are be-
ginning to replace fear, then we have
made good start toward the return
of good times.-Northern Lyon Coun-
ty Journel, Allen, Kansas.

ROOSEVELT'S FARM PLAN

There is nothing in Governor Roose-
velt's speech on agriculture to indi-
cate to the farmer that the New York
executive has definite plan ready
made to pull agriculture out of its
difficulties. The speech contains a
number of general assertions but no
concrete plan to rescue the farmer. In
the first place the Governor would
have soil survey to determine what
farms can be made profitable and
which ones ought to be turned into
parks or forest reserves. But the av-
erage farmer already knows which
farms are paying (if any and which
are not. On the tariff, Governor
Roosevelt is somewhat obscure. After
having denounced the Republican idea
of protection and calling for a Compel
tive tariff for revenue he now wants
to give the farmer real protective
tariff on all his products.
But his method of adding to the
protection which the farmer already
has are somewhat obscure and call for
further explanation. The vague plan
which he produces has some of the
features of the McNary-Haugen idea.
The plan must finance itself. 1t must
not use any methods in disposing of
our farm surplus which would give
European nations the idea that we
were dumping our produce on them.
But just how we can get them to buy
this surplus without dumping it at
low prices the good governor does not
tell US. Undoubtedly he doesn't know
the answer himself.
Again he would have the farmers
handle the machinery of the plan
themselves and would have no CEN
tralized authority at Washington.
The movement must be cooperative as
far as possible and must be volun-
tary. Farmers must not be COM
PEELED to join and to sell through
this agency but must in some way be
persuaded to do it. Here is a gigan-
tic task for somebody to put over,
and again the good governor does not
seem to know how it can be done.
Most important of all, it must be so
arranged that raising the price of
farm products, through this mysteri-
Gus method, will not stimulate produc-
ton at home. In other words, human
nature and economic laws must be
changed entirely. A task worthy of
a real political giant, and here again
Governor Roosevelt does not tell us
how it can be done. Squaring a circle
would be easier.
While the governors stand against
further financing of agriculture by
the government, and against further
bureaucracies at Washington is adj
mirable, his speech from the construc-
tive side is not so hot. He tells US
what ought to be done, but every far
mer knows what ought to be done.
But he doesn't tell US how to do what
he thinks ought to be done. And the
reason he doesn't tell US how to do it
is because he doesn't know how, and
neither does anybody else. 1t is easy
to see that we ought to get the pot of

Maryland Again Leads in Forest
Protection, Report Shows

Efforts on the part of Maryland to
safeguard her forests show uniform
success in comparison with her
neighboring states, report on forest
fire data throughout the nation shows
On the basis of the size of the aver
age forest fire, Maryland has done
better than hold its own with Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Virginia and
Delaware.
The average forest fire in Mary
land burned &c acres in 1881, being
closely followed by the average fire
in New Jersey of 80 acres. Penn
sylvania, with Is million acres of
forest land to protect, or six times
that of Maryland, managed to hold
the average down to 81 acres, but
Delaware, with fewer forested acres,
did not fare so we'll and the average
fire reached 48 acres in area. Virginia
and West Virginia trailed the states
to the north with average fires of
81 and SO acres respectively.
In so far as the smallest average
fire is concerned, Maryland has re-
manned in the lead of her neighboring
states, having held this position in
the severe fire year of 1880, says the
State Forester.
The work carried on by the $50
forest wardens distributed in every
important wooded section of Mary
land is said to be responsible for the
low percentage of acre-fres.
The work has been substantially
assisted by the growing realization
on the part of every citizen that all
forest fires should be reported, as
soon as discovered, to telephone
operators, who in turn notify the fire
fighters and send them off to save
timber, game and property from des-
truction, it was also stated.

time is short, make your list on plain
paper and send it to the Secretary. All
entry lists must be in the mails by
September 3Oth.
There will be absolutely no charge
for making entries. All the exhibit
tor has to do is to pack his exhibits
carefully, deliver them to place
which will be designated to him when
he sends his entry list, and then he is
through. Trucks from Pittsburgh
will pick up the entries and take them
to Pittsburgh.
Decorators To Arrange Exhibits
Gimbel's entire staff of decorators
will arrange the exhibits in the store
ready for the opening of the fair on
the morning of October 18th. The
exhibits from each county will be kept
by itself, so that the judges can con-
slider them as a whole. The county
which has the best exhibit will win
silver cup for its county agent. In
asmuch as there will be counties in
three states competing, the contest
will be interesting. People of this
county are asked to get behind their
agent, John H. Carter.
Another valuable feature of the fair
is this-potato raisers, egg dealers,
apple growers, any one with any farm
produce to sell in large quantities
may be on the spot to take orders
for all he can sell. What better
chance can these men hope to have
to meet Pittsburgh buyers?
There will be at least twenty-five
thousand people passing through the
fair to see the products.
The boys and girls also have oppcr-
tunities to win prizes and they should
insist that their parents take them to
the city to visit the display at Gim-
bells and to tour the city.
Entertainment Provided
The entertainment committee of the
Allegheny Tableland Council is ar
ranging an interesting program for
the visitors, beginning with luncheon
on October Is at the Chamber of Com
merce for the Secretary of Agricul-
ture of Pennsylvania and correspond
ing officials of West Virginia and
Maryland, as we'll as the county
agents from the Tableland.
On Thursday afternoon there will
also be free automobile tour of the
