SHOULD THE STATES SELL
SPIRITS2

The recent statement by President
Roosevelt to the effect that the Fed
eral Government will make no plans
to control the distribution and sale
of liquor may be regarded as the
final decision of Uncle Sam to keep
hands off,.
But in eight States regulations are
to be proposed for State stores, or
dispensaries. This movement in
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia,
Iowa, Kansas Minnesota, Oregon
and Washington listens" like echo
es from across the ocean and Can
ada. Canada's sparse population is
about the same as that of Pennsyl-
vania. Students of the Canadian sys-
tenn differ as to its merits, but they
all seem to be certain that it does
not work in the cities and more
heavily populated areas. Everyone
knows that Canada is a paradise
for bootleggers and rum-smugglers
and that the Canadian loop-holes are
wide open.
It may be assumed that officials
and others who are interested in
legitimatizing the liquor business
and in preserving law and order in
our own country are extremely hes
liant about engaging in any scheme
that is likely to wreck the attempts
to protect sane drinking.
Should the States establish dis
pensaries all liquor to be drank off
the-premises would have to be
bought by the public from these
State stores. Under this plan the
Governor would appoint a liquor
purchasing agent to do all the buy
ing for the State. This job would
doubtless become a political plum
which in many instances would
make a Tammany politician turn
green with envy The agent would
sit on the top of barrels, bottles and
cases posed as broker and dictator.
1t is impossible to ignore the possi-
bilities of corruption likely to fol-
low
The distilling industry of the
country has taken the position that
it is pledged to combat pre-prohibi-
tion evils. The leaders say that they
have no direct responsibility in the
retail liquor business since in the
repeal no distillery-owned outlets
are contemplated. But control, they

PREsBYTERIANS PLAN UNION.

A plan for union" for the Presby-
terian Church in the United States
of America and the United Presby-
terian Church of North America has
been completed by a joint commit
tee. The plan is termed as "satis-
factory a document as can be pre-
pared under existing conditions, !"
and it is said that "in no instance
has there been any surrender of
anything essential in doctrine, gOvz
ernment, discipline or worship.
The General Assemblies of the two
denominations, which met next year,
are asked to submit the plan to their
respective Presbyteries for action.
If the vote is favorable, organic
union may become effective in 1886.
The ten commandments are one
chain of ten links, and the strength
of the whole law hangs on each link.

UNIVERSAL BIBLE
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7
The Bible and Its Message TO All
Mankind

The Bible is everybody's Book. Il
is universal in its appeal. 1t is hu'
manity's Book. 1t is owned by nc
one. 1t knows no class, race, sect
cult, church. 1t is the one Book hal
lowed by richest TRADITION. Fhis
Book your mother read.
Other books have been written in
year or decade. This Book in parts
is older than Cheops, older than
Homer, older than Cadmus. Some
of its pages were written in the
desert, some in a palace, some in a
sheepfold. Some of it was written
by the sobbing sea, some fioated out
of dungeon window and some came
down from a cross.
The Bible answers better, than
has yet been answered, the three SUI
preme questions of the ages: Whence
came II. What am here for?
Whittier am | going?
This Book is unique in its con-
tents. 1t is rather thrilling to think
that the greatest poem of the ages
begins with 1.-THE Lord is my Shep-
herd" Several decades ago great
parliament of religions met in SOL
emn conclave. The prayer they
could all say was the Lords prayer.
Fifty years ago an English mag
azine wrote to the most eminent
scholars of the Empire asking what
lines in prose or poetry seemed to
them most immortal. A majority
selected the 4Oth chapter of Isaiah.
When the world wanted the finest
sentence ever penned, they asked
the president of Harvard to find it. AT
tr ransacking all literature he found
it in Micah. 1t has endured for
three thousand years. "He hath
shown thee, o man, what is good.
And what doth the Lord require of
thee, but to do justly, live mercifully
and walk humbly before Thy God"
The popularity of any book is sup
posed to be indicated by its circu-
lation. Last year the American,
British and Foreign Bible Societies
turned out 36 million copies of the
Holy Writ. 1t is claimed that the
whole of the Bible or part of it has
been translated into $50 languages
and dialects. 1t is estimated that
there is a copy or a part copy of the
Bible for every man, woman and
child on the globe today. The COM
bined circulation of all the books in
the world would hardly overtOp the
Bible.
The Bible has gone before the
white wings of commerce to the ut
termost seas. 1t has been at the
forefront of all exploration and dis
covery. 1t is the basis for all law.
1t is the foundation for all govern
ment. There has not yet lived a
President of the United States who
has not laid his hands upon this
Book and promised by its strength
to be true to his obligations.
This Book lent Handel his Mes
siah; lent Titan his TRANSPORTATION;
lent liberty to Cromwell; lent Lin
coin rule, golden, for both white
and black. Take the Bible out of
the world, out of its galleries and
cathedrals, out of its laws and gov
ernment, out of its songs and SYM
pathy, and just shell of civilization
remains. Take the Christ out of
the Bible and it remains an enigma
of the darkest kind. The Book does
not explain the Man, the Man ex-
plains the Book. He is the key to
it. His portrait is ON every page.
1t may be important to believe the
facts of the Bible, but it is more i'm
portant to believe in the Person of
the Bible.

The FORUM
REDUCE OUR HIGH SCHOOLS

Budget time Is here once more.
time for getting right down TO
brass taeks again. Last year prac-
tically nothing was done towards
reducing our high school budgets.
Are we going to allow them full
swing, business as usual" to the
detriment Of our common schools?
Our constitution guarantees an
education but did not contemplate
high schools nor colleges , these
came afterwards, extra. Now 1t has
come to pass that our common
schools, our fundamental educa.
ton, is being crippled and jeapar.
died by the excessive costs Of this
higher learning. Coming right down
to brass tacks which shall be a c
rifice?
Our m schools have done
quite well the past couple a in
reducing their budgets, made sub
stantial cuts, have had a hard
struggle to get by, and will do so
again this year. But our high
schools have moi shown this dispo-
sition, in fact last years levies
were much higher than the pre-
vious year, and more yet this year,
perhaps.
Last years IL mill levy for high
schools would have gone a long
ways towards supporting our com
mon schools In these drastic times.
An examination of our tax receipts
will show that several OF our com
mon school districts have been pay
ing more for high school taxes.
that they do not get any benefit
from, than their own local schools
cost them. In addition they pay the
8 mill general levy from which they
receive the benefits of the high
railroad assessments which outside
districts do not receive.
We now have eight high schools
located at Plentywood, Medicine
Lake, Antelope, Westby, Outlook,
Dooley, Redstone and Comertown,
with a total budget last year OF
$65,450. Our legislature failed last
winter to make remedies or limit
the levy, and the new bonding feat
ure only encourages more debts
Apparently our only win
be to cut out, consolidate, or put
some Of these back on the pay
roll OF their own districts.

MONEYED MEN TO START BUILDING
 FOR YACHT RACE
BY JACK CUDDY

Limited Press Stan Corresp0ndent)
 New York, Nov, 9.-UP).-The America's cup series, international classic of the yachting world in which millionaires on both sides of the Atlantic spend millions to com pete for a somewhat tarnished sil- yer pitchef worth about $500, will be held next year, probably off Newport, R. I. in mid-September.
 The 1884 series was assured last night when the New York Yacht club formally accepted the British challenge for the trophy over which British and American yachtsmen have fought since 1851 sometimes as bitterly as small boys in marble game.
 Acceptance meant that Thomas O. M. Sopwith, millionaire English aircraft manufacturer, will race his new yacht Endeavor against the fieetest sloop American build CTS ca nturn out. The Endeavor, a class J sloop, is being built now in Gosport, Eng.
 Renewal
 It will be the first Americas cup series since the late Sir Thomas Ldpton made his fifth and last chal- lenge off Newport in 1880, with Shamrock V. Although the genial Irish sportsman had no more suc- cess than any of the preceding Il challengers, he became famous the world over because of his persis- tent pursuit of "the auld mug"
 Sopwith's challenge was issued Oct. 13, by the Royal Yacht Squadron, most exclusive yachting organization in the world. Just be- fore his death, Lipton was made a member of the squadron, but it is the first squadron challenge since the bitter dispute over disqualifica- tion of Lord Dunraven's Va1kyrie III in 1895.
 Now that the committee, headed by Commodore Junius s. Morgan, has accepted, it is expected that in- dividuals or syndicates will build three or four candidate defenders. In 1930,. there were four candidate yachts from which the Enterprise emerged defender after a series of test races. It cost approximately $630,000 to build the Enterprise. The 1894 candidate sloops may each cost more to bring them up to par with the new British craft.
 Big Bids
 The trim -gined class J sloops are approximately 120 feet long on deck, 80 feet on the water and have 7,500 square feet of sail spread from a mast 16S feet high. As they stand out from the start ing line with bones of spray in their teeth and lee rails knifing the water, they look like huge, half- soaring birds.
 Thousands of spectators on a floating city of ocean liners, ex- cursion steamers, palatial yachts and lesser craft, will watch de- fender and challenger as they glide away, probably on Sept. 15, for the first 30-mile race in the prob- able best four-out- -of-seven series. The starting line of the last series was nine miles southeast of Bren- ton Reef lightship off Newport, R. I. It is expected that the same course will be used.
