REGISTRATION RULES.

Points in the Law Construed by At- ' A torneys. The new interpretation of the registration law and the corrupt practice act as made by agreement of both Democratic and Republican state chairmen and approved by Governor Marshall covers the following points; If a clerk appointed by the county chairman should die or resign or remove from the precinct the chairman has the power to name his successor provided he does it ten days before rhe May session but if he fails the inspecor shall appoint the clerk. A relative of a Candidate may serve as a registration official. If two extra days are to be kept at the September session the last day shall be on Monday instead of Sunday. A foreigner may register if he expects to be qualified to vote at the general election in November, whether or not he is qualified at the time of registration. No clerk has a right to refuse an applicant for registration. A person who is not able to write any language maw procure some resident of the township to write his name for him, after the applicant has made his mark, and the person who writes the applicant’s name must also sign his own name as an attesting witness. He need not be acquainted with the qualifications of the applicant. Both clerks should sign their initials to each application.

The mere fact that a son does not know the place and time of his lather's naturalization does not disqualify him from registering but it might be a serious impediment if such person is challenged when he ‘tries to vote. The chairman of a political committee may act as its treasurer. A member of a political committee may receive a contribution for political purpose but he must turn it over to the treasurer without deducting any amount from it. A member of a committee other than a treasurer has no right to disburse funds. A treasurer may pay for newspapers containing political articles and to send such papers to voters; also to furnish plate matter copy for newspapers, providing it is marked as an advertisement when published for pay. Registration blanks can be printed on either white or colored paper. The treasurer of a State central committee may appoint sub-treasur-ers and the State central committee may pay the proper and necessary’ expenses of said sub-treasurer, but not give him a salary or commission for collecting contributions. It is not necessary for a foreign born applicant to give the exact date of his naturalization or of his declaration of intention, but he should give it as nearly as he can.

U. S. MARINES ARE RESTORING PEACE

Situation in Nicaragua Shows an Improvement. CRUISER RECALLED BY TAFT Report That Fifty American Fighter* Had Been Killed at Corinto Proves to Be Without Foundation. Washington, Aug. 30.—Information received from Panama and from Corinto via San Juan del Sur, by the United States government, indicates that the report of the killing of fifty American marines In Nicaragua was a mistake. The report was discredited at both the state and navy departments, where it was added that the situation In Nicaragua was considered to be improving. Taft Recall* Cruiser. Strength in this belief was evidenced when President Taft recalled the cruiser California, which, after unloading 660 marines at Corinto, had started to Panama to take the 1,200 inei? of the Tenth Infantry to Nicaragua. The marines landed at Corinto Immediately took charge of the policing of the port and began stretching a thin brown line along the railroad from Corinto to Managua, which will be reopened immediately. Messages were received from Minister Weitzel in Managua and Consul Johnson in Corinto sayi*g that the situation had improved materially. Rebels Get Setback. A commission sent by the rebel general Francisco Vaca demanded the surrender of Corinto August 25, but was Informed that the port is under the protection of the American forces, who would give battle to the rebels should they attempt to enter. Consul Johnson’s message to this effect left Corinto August 25 and is the latest Information received from him. The California has been stationed off Corinto as a wireless sending and receiving station, however, and the government Is anxiously awaiting dispatches from the seat of the trouble. U. 8. Will Restore Peace. Two thousand United States marines will be mobilized in Corinto along the railroad and in Managua itself by the beginning of next week. It is believed these will be able to restore peace and to guarantee protection to the Americans still in Nicaragua. The rebels have promised Commander Washington of the gunboat Denver that they will repair the railroad and have the telegraph lines between Corinto and Managua In working condition within 48 hours. They have also agreed not to interfere with the movements of Americans to and fro over the railroad.

BAR MEETING IS CLOSED

Frank B. Kellogg Is Elected President of American Association—Court Recall I* Flayed. Milwaukee, Aug. 30. —“One-eyed leaders of the blind” was the term used before the American Bar association at its closing session to describe those who seek Judicial reform through the recall of Judges. The association, after going on record as oposed both to the recall of judges and to judicial decision, declared that other methods must be employed to prevent delays in lawsuits. Various committees were appointed to report on plans for expediting court procedure. Charles A Boston, New York, asserted that one means of lessening criticism of the bench would be to provide for judges a written cofle of ethics such as has been put into effect by various state bar associations for lawyers. The election of Frank B. Kellogg, St. Paul, Minn., as president brought the convention to a close. New directors elected were William H. Burges Texas; William H. Staak, Pennsylvania; John H. Voorhees, South Dakota, and S. S. Gregory, Illinois.

GOV. WILSON OPENS CAMPAIGN

Addresses Farmers at Williams Grove, Pa., In Support of Tariff Plank. i ’ ' Williams Grove, Pa., Aug. 30.—Gov. Woodrow Wilson fired his opening gi* n here in his campaign for the presidency. Addressing the farmers gathered here for the meeting of the Pennsylvania State Grange, the Democratic nominee appealed for support upon the tariff plank in his platform. He promised economic reforms not only beneficial to the farmers but to all. He said in part: “If our markets are not multiplied and our doors are not thrown open, I do not see how the farmer and most of the rest of us are to avoid being overwhelmed by the rising tide of domestic prices. We are told that priced are rising the world over, but if you will look Into the matter you will find that it is not so. They are rising In high tariff countries, but not in low tariff countries.”

THE SAVIOR'S REACHINGS BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDIES

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH. Mark vi, 14-29—Sept. 1. “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.’’—Revelation ii, 10. CODAY’S STUDY includes John the Baptist’s death. King Herod had put away his wife, and was living with the wife of his brother Philip—Herodias. John the Baptist in his preaching had referred to the fact that King Herod was living in violation of the Divine Law, and was likely to bring upon the people a war, for his wife was the daughter of King Aretas. Herodias heard of John’s teaching, and was both angry and fearful. Had Herod put her away, as would have been his duty, she would have been a disgraced woman, for the Herods were well known in Rome and elsewhere. Herod feared John and feared the people who believed John to be a Prophet, but Herodias feared neither' God nor man. In deference to Hero-

dias’ wish. Herod had John arrested, but even then he liked to hear John talk. All the more Herodias feared the influence of John. The King’s birthday came, and she encouraged him to ask to the banquet his principal friends. She dressed her own daughter in the airy cos-

tume of the dancing girls of the East and sent her in to dance before them. So great a condescension implied that the King should make some return. He asked the girl what he should give her, promising anything, even to the half of his kingdom, and the child returned to her mother for instructions. Herodias had gotten Herod into her net. Now. in the presence of his friends, on his own birthday, at his own suggestion. he had obligated himself to do anything that might be asked. If the daughter demurred to ask for the head of John the Baptist, the mother probably told her that if John lived both of them would sooner or later be outcasts; that his death was necessary. Bound by an Unholy Oath. When the maiden made her request, the King was grieved, yet he felt himself bound to comply with his onth. The execution was accomplished, and the head was delivered to Herodias. Alas, poor world! How many are its snares of pride and fear and attempts to increase its pleasures and honors! In a previous study we heard Jesus' words, that no greater Prophet than John had arisen. We fully agree that he was a Prophet of the Lord, and that he will have a great reward in the future; with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, he will come forth a perfect man, because he was found faithful, even unto death. He will be one of the class mentioned by the Lord through the Prophet David—“lnstead of Thy fathers, shall be Thy children, whom Thou [Messiah] shalt make Princes in all the earth.”—Psalm xlv, 16. Those who selected our lesson text evidently overlooked the fact that John the Baptist is not one of the Church class referred to in the Lord’s words, “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” (Revelation ii, 10.) John will indeed get life everlasting as a glorious portion, but he will not be a member of the Bride class. This honor belongs to us since Pentecost. We quote St. Paul’s words concerning the Ancient Worthies: “All these died in faith, not having received the things promised them,” “that they. without us. should not be made perfect.” (Hebrews 11, 13, 38-40.) We. the Church, called to be joint heirs with Jesus, must get our share of the blessing first, the Bride and the Bridegroom must be perfected in the First Resurrection before the Kingdom can be established, and before the blessing can go even to the Ancient Worthies. Wherein Is the Difference? If John the Baptist was faithful unto

Clare, He may do what He will with His own. Nothing in God's promise bound, Him to give John the Baptist a place in the Bride class. The Apostle Peter declares that God foreknew this class, predestinated it as a from before the foundation of the world; and He is now making a selection according to principles, to determine who may be of this class. He gave no opportunity to John the Baptist to be of this class, but permitted him to die when he had accomplished the work intended for him. None can be of this Bride class who died prior to Pentecost, for there the Holy Spirit was first given, and without this none can occupy the plane of sons; those under Moses and of his House were servants.

“The king was exceed ing sorry."

death, wherein is the difference, and why should he receive an earthly reward and the Bride class receive the heavenly? There are several reasons for this. In the matter of justice God could not show any preference, but in matters of favor, as the Scriptures de-
