If Hon. John B. Peterson really wants to run for governor he will have to divorce himself from those who are responsible for his recept tumble down the political slide. He should have been re-elected to congress. Unfortunately for him the make-up of .the democracy in other counties in the district was not of the loyal character of the democrats of Tippecanoe county and they showed their resentment of snap conventions and unfair proceedings and of Party sacrifice for personal profit by one man. The democratic papers of the district all agree that Mr. Peterson was the victim of "too much Murphy.' If Mr. Peterson proposes to enter the case for the governorship with this same handicap he will find it necessary to get his votes in the convention away from his own home district.

THE "LAME DUCK" CONTINGENT

_\ question that is agitating a good many people in Washington—and, perhaps elsewhere—is, what shall be done with the ‘‘lame ducks?” And no one is more agitated than ihe lame ducks." There are many reasons for ‘lame ducks,” but th£ explanation most generally adopted by the "lame dti’cks” themselves is political hard luck. Theirs is bitter late. To be changed from the people’s choice to the rejected of the people causes a good deal of a jar. And what is still worse it cuts off the emoluments of office. Thus financial loss is added to personal embarrassment. There are always Tkme ducks” oi course, after every congressional election, and this time there was a larger number than usual, though not so many, of course, as there were twq years ago. Nor is the situation from their point of view quite sg distressing, for two years ago the lame ducks were mostly republicans and the incoming administration was democratic, while this year the most of the "lame dtocks” are democrats, and the admiWtration is still democratic. But even a demo- < ratic administration can not work miracles, and there are not—alas! enough appointive jobs to go around. The situation is further complicated by the fact that some of the jobs were created by the congress of which the ' lame ducks" were members and therefore they are ineligible to appointment. So "lame duck alley in the White House, which leads to—but not always into—the executive offices, is crowded with- the hopeful, some of whom are really hoping against hope, and finding it a losing contest. It is an awful thing, after one has held a government job for two, or more, years to have to shrink to be an ordinary private citizen, and have vulgarly to work for a living after the regular manner of private persons. Besides, there is the huiuilation of realizing that an awful dent has been put in one’s political ambitions. Sometimes, to be sure, the Tame duck" can come back, but very few of them have the Uncle Joe Cannon recuperative quality.

Therefore "lame duck” orbs are turned appealingly on the President, who is expected to do something, but who, even the “lame ducks” realize, can not do everything. Hence it may be assumed that after the sorting out is done and the jobs are all filled and hope is gone, a considerable number of the contingent will find that their private interests make necessary their withdrawal from public life—at least until they can get themselves nominated for something else.—lndianapolis News.

INDIANA’S BAD LANDS.

As civilized as we are up in this part of Indiana we have right at our east door a wilderness that brooks no fellow in this state. Its wildness is unchanged, even since the days when game found it a paradise and fugitives from the law deemed it a safe retreat. It was here that train robbers on Thanksgiving eve tried to wreck a Baltimore and Ohio train, the second attempt with a week. As in days of yore an armed posses scoured the silent dune lands, but the bold prey was elusive. It is more than a decade ago since the last train robbery, but the robbers paid no attention to the great interval of inactivity. When Gary sprang up and the marshes and sand-dunes were transformed into a bustling city it was thought that good-bye has been said to Indiana's last frontier. But this does not seem to be the case. There yet remains a twenty-six mile stretch along the lake frontno man s land-—possessing the same vestiges of its old-time wildness, untamed by its newer surroundings, unawed even by the year 1914. The sand-dune country continues to have its wild and ancient charm, its traditional bad men.—Hammond Times.

'The Business Men’s Association asks that every family in Benton county pay honor to old King Corn, Friday, December 11, when the corn dinner is to be served, by serving at lea-st a tew corn dishes at the home meals, if an entire corn menu can not be served.

BIBLE-STUDY- ON

THE RISEN CHRIST dark 16:1-8; Matthew 28:11-15—Dec. 6. "Why seek ye the Living amonyst the deadf He is not here, but riven." —Luke 6 CHE resurrection of the dead will be the greatest manifestation of Divine Power ever mad«* to angels and to men.—Tbe a wakening of Jairus’ daughter, of the widow of Nain’s son, and of Jesus' friend Lazarus are nowhere styled resurrections of the dead; they were merely awakenings, the last of these being the most wonderful, because Lazarus bad been dead four days and putrefaction had set in. Tbe resurrection promised in tbe Bible will bring back the personality and tbe consciousness of billions of humanity who have died under the Divine sentence, “Dying, thou shalt die,” “Dust thou art. and unto dust shalt thou return.” There could be no resurrection—no escape from that Divine sentence —except in the way that God has arranged; namely, that our Lord Jesus took tbe place of the original sinner, Adam, purchasing him and all his race back from the death state. Fallacious ideas have gone abroad to the effect that it will be merely the body tbsit will be resurrected—that God will collect from tbe four winds every particle of dust which once composed the body, and will reorganize the race out of tbe same particles which formerly composed it. The absurdity of this thought grows upon us as we consider that the bodies of the dead have more or less gone into vegetation, etc. The difficulty has been that we lost sight of the Biblical declaration that it is the soul that dies. (Ezekiel 18:4, 20.) Our bodies are changed every seven years. It is the soul that dies, that has been redeemed and that is to be resurrected. Our Lord No Longer Human. Christ, hs tbe Logos, was a living soul, being, on a high spirit plane. For man’s sake He humbled Himself—“took a bondsman’s form.” (Philipplans 2:7, 8.) As a human soul, or being, He died—“poured out His soul unto death,” “made His soul an Offering for sin.”—lsaiah 53:10-12. It was Jesus tbe soul that died, but He was raised from the dead a soul of a higher order At that time, as He foretold, He ascended where He was before: that is. He was put to death in

flesh, but quickened. or made alive, in spirit. (1 Peter 3:18.) He took the human nature merely for the great purpose of giving man's redemp-tion-price; and after He had laid down that ransom-price by giving Himself up

te deatb, the Father raised Him up to glory, honor, immortality—far above angels, principalities, powers. Because after His resurrection Jesus was so different, we are prepared from this viewpoint to understand why He conducted Himself so differently after His resurrection—He appeared and disappeared. we read. Never before had He done this. After His resurrection He appeared in different bodies, different forms, different clothing. To Mary He appeared as the gardener; to the two walking to Emmaus, He appeared as a stranger. His clothing had been parted amongst the soldiers How evidently He was put to death in flesh, but quickened in spirit! It was the Spirit Jesus who showed Himself, assuming different human forms and clothing, as best suited the occasion. This Spirit Being came Into the assemblies of the disciples when the doors were fastened for fear of the Jews. He created or materialized a body and clothing in their presence; and after a few minutes He vanished, dissolving the body’ and the clothing, while He. the Spirit, remained invisible. Thus He was with the disciples for forty days before He ascended; yet they saw Him not. except for a few minutes at a time on seven different occasions Those forty days were very necessary to teach two great lessons: (1) That He was no longer dead, but alive; (2) That He was no longer a man but a spirit-2 Corinthians 3:17 The Importance of the Resurrection. These facts are clearly established >y St. Paul’s narrative of his own ex perlences. He explains that it was necessary that the twelve Apostles should be able to bear witness to Je-

lions of the dead'/ All this the Apostle forcibly calls to our minds.—l Cm 15:12-19. Evidently St Paul in no way shared the views of those -who unscripturallyclaimed that Jesus while dead was really alive, and that the resurrection of the dead Is a mere formality, quite unnecessary to the carrying out ot God’s Plan. The Divine teaching is that “the dead know not anything.* and that the resurrection is absolutely necessary to any future life.
