PEACE STILL REIGNS.

Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war. It seems that destiny has allotted such victories for the •present president of these United |totes. The nation today will experience a sense of gratitude that the Country has been saved from the blighting effect of a railroad strike, a ^isaster that would have halted the '•v^rpsperlty of the nation, brought untold suffering to her people, palsied the )£ulse of commerce, and if aggravated i\] Jjr such disorders and violence as have li^l^lnnarked such crises in,the past, would have brought the country to the edge tt-fj ttnf

\t Had President Wilson been less pa-

tient, less wise and less judicious at fcny period within the past twenty-six fnonths this nation certainly would have" been plunged into the Vortex of the world war. The average citizen jenows this as absolutely as he knows

This latter Industrial crisis was met the same wise manner. A period distrust and suspicion out of which 4®y distressing condition might have iprung has been superceded by a contlon governed by law under which fee perpetrators of any untoward confludt will have to answer to the people, lit other words, the president's course puffed out a flame burning dangerously. near disorder and chaos, and his bourse will have the approbation of fcvery law and liberty loving citizen.

Oft hand it may seem to the railroad Interests that the national legislature £as permitted itself to be commandeered by what they have termed "a small organized faction." However, when any faction has enrolled in its aum-r^-^Ttr four hundred thousand of thfe best 'citizens of the nation, when it has a cause which has been publicly tlls^1, 6ussed for over a year, when its appeal embodies many of the elements of what |has come to be known in this country as social Justice,, such a faction cannot fef- Tie disposed of by ridicule, nor should it be. i Th6 railroads were plainly disposed

Mr. Roosevelt but one and one-half ships were added to the navjMeach year, six being the total for the four years each served.

This congress and President Wilson are putting the finishing touches on the greatest naval authorizations in the history of the government. It is legislation calculated to make the American navy impregnable. To accomplish this, more money is being epepended than that appropriated in a single year by any naval power In the world. Notwithstanding all this, the Influence of ignorance and hate is still felt and the danger, born of such a situation, continues in terms of uncertain national confidence and shaky national self-re-spect

Admiral George Dewey, member of the American navy since 1854, respected and venerated as a commanding figure in two wars, believes that the American people should know the truth He thinks in the interest of the nation that the time has come to still the tongue of slander. No man In the United States is so pre-eminently qualified to discuss conditions in the navy as ls Admiral Dewey. Since 1893, as a member pf the generaPboard, It has been his duty to pass upon naval plans,. naval needs and naval defects. By no stretch of the imagination can any suspicion of ulterior motive be laid at the door of Admiral Dewey. He is absolutely beyond the reach of partisan criticism or manipulation. No administration has the power to hurt him. By law he is exempted from the usual retirement provisions If he ever should desire to retire it will be of his own volition and at full pay. No partisan quarrel has ever reached his high position. What then, in coming forward in the interest of truth, does Admiral Dewey say? "The attacks that have been made upon the navy are as false as they are shameful. It is not a junk heap. There is no demoralization. Both in material and personnel we are more efficient today than ever before. Our ships are as good as any, our officers are as good as any, and our enlisted men are the finest in the world."

In such terms does Admiral Dewey dispose of the blanket indictment, born in misrepresentation and fostered by selfish interests, against the present management of the navy. But Admiral Dewey does not stop there. He goes into details.

ALWAYS SOMETHING.

Along with the advance agent of calamity who sees dire things for us "after the war," should be added the crop alarmist "^6he^©f|tHie^iannual thrills is the'failure of the wonders of what are called "crops." Early it is the strawberries, the raspberries, the garden-grown rhubarb and other "garden sass" which disappear at about the same moment that pancakes pass Into the limbo of the Invisible at the average restaurant.

Then comes the pathetic epic of the potato, the tomato, the peach, the apricot, and their intimate relations. Blights, bugs and beetles of myriad kinds intervene, and the wheat Is caught by bacillus of rust and mold. Latter the apple is the victim of dire assault. Now it is immediately announced by official authority that on account of plethoric rains in some re-

giohs of the country and by reason of drought in other regions, not only the fruits which appeal to every lover of the best there is in life but also the grains which from time immortal have been called the "staff of life," are doomed to a lamentable decrease and that even in America, illimitable in agriculture production, we are in danger of'famine, to Say nothing of the exports which are so vitally necessary to the maintenance of the warring nations of Europe to enable them to continue the killing.

WET AND DRY.

Some good people long have adhered to the theory that the way to cure the drink evil is to legislate the manufactures out of business and^ eliminate the federal license. This license last year amounted to $325,000,000. What would take the place of this revenue is besides the question. This paragraph started out to consider another aspect of the question. An item ln the Nashville Banner the other day told how two citizens had died' and a dozen more were made 111 by a concoction distilled from corn meal and other ingredients. "Demon extract "jags" have become popular in many sections, particularly in the Carolinas. Oldtime pie flavoring with a real "klok" in it is not only being dispensed by storekeepers, but, ln many of the rural districts, large wagons travel the roads dispensing one-half pint and one pint .bottles of lemon extract, with sufficient alcoholic contents to make an active, if not practical, substitute for whisky. Such old-time substitutes as Jamaica ginger and patent medicines have been well known as substitutes since the very start of dry territory in the land.

Nor is that all! Out in Oregon the recent drought brought on by statewide prohibition seems to have set minds to work in other wise. A farmer of Clackhamis has discovered that It is possible to make practically pure alcohol by running apple cider through a cream separator. Is it, therefore, possible that the cream separator of the famous HoOd river apple country may become a more serious menace to

Sunday School Lesson for Sept. 3

Paul's Sorrows and Comforts—2 Cor. 11:21 to i2:10. Golden Text—My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power Is made perfect in weakness. 2 Cor. 12:9.

When the present war is over lb wouid be interesting to listen to a recital of personal experiences bv a veteran of the war. The lesson "today is a recital of the experiences of a veteran in Christ's war. Labors, watchlngs, imprisonments, stripes, stocks stonings. shipwrecks, fastings, exposure. hold-up, deaths, perils of the wilderness, and of an unsocial world, thrilling escapes—a recital unsurpassed by ancient or modern warrior' And the changes rung are on the giorlous aide of these experiences. They are not the wail of a weakling or coward overcome in the strife. The title Of the lesson Is misleading, Ihese experiences did not constitute his sorrows—he gloriod in them his sorrows were over a world's slowness to receive the gospel. And he recited them, not to get the sympathy of his associates nor the pity of posterity, ship vindicate his apostolic Jeader-

BILLY SUNDAY FOR ART.

Rev. Billy Sunday, the evangelist, who says that while he used to decry the Inclination of womankind "to paint herself up like a Sioux squaw," he has amended his view, and as he sees it ^ere^ijMt any great harm in the ptil* In f£etf he Inclines to the belief that it is the sacred right of woman to keep herselfl attractive, if painting could be called attractive?

Whether a right or not, it is a privilege which lis freely exercised. Chivalry demands that men should not notice these things, but unfortunately they cannot help themselves There are feminine artists so skilled in ornamentation that the most observant cannot tell where nature ends and art begins, and then—well, it is enough to say that there are others.

Indeed, if it were not for these others the subject, would never be one for public comment, .Most men are prepared to take beauty at its face value and ask no questions, but when the beauty and the beautiful are only artificially related they prefer the art that conceals art.

The right to paint is one which goes right back to primitive times, when, as Spencer reminds us, decoration preceded dressy Among savage races men still indulge In facial futurism, but in civilization it is only the already, fair who would make themselves still fairer. This does not mean that women have not wholly emancipated themselves from primitive customs, nor that the modern daughter of Eve who powders her nose is half-sister to the savage belle who smears her face with varicolored clays. There is no question of emancipation, or even of civilization, In the matter. It is today as it was in prehistoric times, a detail of art. So that the decoration be well done, of what significance is it whether it takes the form of paint and powder or trimming the beard.

If there is one thing more than another of a purely personal character it is surely that of fai.ee painting The public health is not concerned, and whoever heard of little children going short of bread because mother was reckless ln the use of powder?

Nature is good, but sometimes art is better, and when that is the case a little rouge will not wreck the republic nor stop the progress of civilization.

Louis Hill, son of a really big father was the one man who indicated that he would set himself up against public opinion as expressed by the nation's head. Mr. Hill's readjustment will be Interesting.

It would not be out of place for us occasionally to look back at the hands, sometimes humble, sometimes hidden, that hold the ropes of oyr escape and of our more certain journey toward the goal of service and destiny. And behind these helpful hands let us remember there is God.

And our hands may likewise hold the ropes that hold in precious security lives strategic for the kingdom. Our firm grasp will help to speed them on their way.. Let never a quiver endanger the precious burden impending on our arms. We may best show our appreciation of friendly helpers by similarly helping others, and so perfect the endless chain of service that will ere long lift the world to Christ

Astrologers read this as a lucky day, Saturn, Mars, Neptune and Mercury are all in beneflc aspect.

It is read as a particularly fortunate rule under which to sign papers or enter into contracts.

Publicity again is subject to the best sway. There is a sign exceedingly fortunate for writers, editors and publishers. New lines of enterprise again are foretold.

It is a favorable time to deal with commission men and agents of every sort. Architects, teachers, students, lawyers and scientists should benefit.

As Mercury rules the part of the Intellect susceptible to cultivation, this sway is supposed to be exceedingly good for the memory.

Education has an augury of sweeping changes that will be good eventually for Instructors of every rank. There is, however, an 111 omen as likely to produce an acceptance of too many fads.

Fame for a college president is prognosticated. He will perform some great public service.

Seers warn the American people against a possible growth of materialism that may bring the nation to disaster. It is held that the war in Europe will purfy the peoples affected by it and that they will attain a spiritual power that will overcome materialism.

The growth of an "American for Americans" spirit is prognosticated, but astrologers give warning against the results of selfishness.

President Wilson oomes under a planetary direction that may bring him new problems which are extremely trying. He has the omen of delayed activity owing to a slight Indisposition.

The rise of a woman financier, who may cause a sensation, is prognosticated.

Persons whose blrthdate it is probably will have a successful year In business, if they safeguard the health.

Children born on this day are likely to be quick and persevering. These subjects of Virgo have aptitude for the arts.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2. I^ever, perhaps, has an American president been so much the center of a fascinating drama with the scene laid jat the capitol as has Woodrow WHson during the last week. The first incident of dramatic character came a week ago yesterday when President Wilson, having exhausted every resource legally Within his power to pre-? vent & frightful strike* and realizing, too, as he must have realized that certain powerful financial Interests having an eye on the election was deliberately conniving to precipitate the strike, went unattended and unannounced to the capitol and going, directly to the president's room Bent for Senator Kern, the senate leader, and Senator Newlands, of the interstate commerce committee. The moment the doors closed upon the three excitement was at white heat and ail sorts of conjectures were abroad as to the Import of it all. The boy* ln the press gallery were in a fever of expectancy and fear lest something big escape them and among the members of the senate the feeling of curiosity was so Intense that while the senate went through the forms of continuing Its business the mind of no one was upon the proceedings In the chamber and every eye was fastened upon the closed door of the president's room. After half an hour the president emerged and hurriedly departed and Senator Kern was Instantly surrounded by at least thirty of the Washington correspondents of metropolitan papers and the representatives of the press associations, all clamoring for Information. Senator Kern Is not famouB as a glib talker— when he does not care to talk. He gently joshed the press representatives, related a few funny stories, and when finally pressed hard he assured them that "there would positively be no railroad legislation that afternoon." It was known, of course, that the president's 3Udden visit had to do with the tremendous business that he has been handling for two weeks. But that visit was not without precedent. The unprecedented thing was reserved for Sunday night. Owing to the press of senate business the finance committee having ln charge the revenue measure was ln session ln the' finance committee room on the basement floor of th£ capitol—this being a case of where the sheep was in the ditch. A mean rain was falling. It was a night for the cosy library or the bedl The capitol building, unless there be a night session of the senate or house, is a rather wierd and gloomy building and no one, not connected with the capitol in a business way, is permitted to enter. At each of the entrances a blue coated sentinel sits in the darkness of the door way smoking his pipe in peace and politely turning the tourist away. Within the building an occasional light only serves to Illuminate the gloom. Under the great dome in the rotunda all is utter darkness and in Statuary hall, sometimes called the chamber of horrors, the white statues looming ghost like through the darkness give one the shivers.

Seeks Senator Kern.

One of the most diverting amusements is .to conduct a lady friend, unacquainted With the capitol, into the rotunda in the night and then dart behind a column. The effect is startling^ In the basement of the building the gloom 'is intensified. And it was Into the utter gloom of the basement, after a ride through the rain, that Woodrow Wilson found his way, after having lost himself in the senate office building in an effort to find Senator Kern,'who was sitting with the

finance committee. The president first gave the men in the guard room the "willies" by- suddenly appearing among them like a ghost but as soon as the guards recovered arid satisfied themselves that the president was really in the flesh, they conducted him to the finance committee room where he knocked, or rather where his aid knocked, and- asked for Senator Kern. The effect on the committee was aa startling as ln the guard roon*. Senator Kern hurriedly left the room and for a few moments he stood with the president ln the lily lighted corridors of the basement and then the two repaired to the president's room on the floor' above after having sent for an attache of the building to turn on the lights. This meeting was a preliminary to the meeting of the morrow—but no one expected it and the dramatic features of it made a profound Impression upon the capitol. It was the talk of the town the following morning.

The next day, last Monday, witnessed the smashing of another precedent when the Iconoclast of the white house decided to hold the historic meeting with the steering committee of the senate, not in the white house, nor in the president's room in the capitol but In the private room of Senator Kern ln the senate office building. This was done ln the hope of escaping the curious—but vain hope. Jerry Foley, of Senator Kern's office, helped to set the house ln order for the visit and was carefully nursing the secret of the hiding place when a senate page, accompanied with two peering1 ladies, walked llesurely by the room and paused a convenient distance away. It looked suspicious. An interrogation of the page brought the disconcerting information that some of the attaches of the senate had sent the ladles over to "see the president." The jig was up. A little later the corridor leading to Senator Kern's office was soon lined. Outside the Delaware street entrance

to the building a mob 'gathered. The. moving picture men were instantly on the job. Some capitol policemen sauntered down the corridor to meet any possible emergency.

The room in which this historic meeting was held is unique. It is one of the largest and most beautiful rooms of the building, and the, B, & O. railway passes beneath it shaking the chandaliers now and then, but the unique feature is that it is the only room in or around the capitol that has a steel door. Thp room was not selected for the meeting* however, because of the steel door.

Promptly at 4 o'clock the president, accompanied by two secret, service' meji In plain clothes, hurried do.wn the ,long corridor and into the room. At "that time not half the. steering committee was present. In this connectipn it may be explained that the steering committee is the committee of, the inajorlty which is at present the democrats, appointed by Senator Kern to determine upon the policy 6f the party in the senate. It naturally consists of the biggest men In the party' now in the senate..
