REAL PROSPERITY.

That editor; who haid that prosperity which comes irom . a billion bushel wheat crop and a corn harvest greater than any except one in the country’s , history. is of a better quality and 'more enduring: benefit than any boom of stocks, however feverish it may be and ho we ver many spectacular winnings it may record From the farm to the consumer the cereals contribute to the material well being of every man, whatever his place in the economic scale, substantially bettering the condition of transportation 'companies, merchants,laborers arid ail the intricate social system that is:dependent on,, them. The American larmer has produced more wheat by 1 1 1.0 Q <>j 00 0 bushels than the previous high mark. Corn tails !)B,out),otto bushels below its own record, made in 1912, but the amount is greater than that gathered in any other “year. On this firm iounda ti on bus in e s swill ba s e its ei f solidly, given ■decent. immunity from political assaults, if permit led to develop without the injudicious fostering of demagogues an.i bumptious tinkerers with the natural order of fairs.. The real plutocrat is the farmer; he deserves his profits; and if congress and the legislatures will stop meddling with, the farmers’ elaborate machinery of collection, all will be well with him and his.—Lake County Times.

WALT MASON

The Poet Philosopher A little slice of slander will do no end of harm. You say that Alexander has got a wooden arm. The chap who hears you tell it, will note the story down, and then he’ll go and yell it, with frills, throughout the town. He’ll peddle here and yander, all up and down the line, the tale that Alexander has got a wooden spine. Then Johnsing will meander, and tell his neighbor, Gregg, that poor old Alexander has got a wooden leg. And Lyman tells Lean-der-—this way such stories spread—that luckless Alexander has got a wooden head. Then Alexander hears it; a tear streams from his eye; he

brands it and he sears it as a confounded lie. die says: ‘‘lt’s no puddin’ to wear a scandal wreath; I’ve nothing that is wooden about me but my teeth. And now I’ll take ray claymore and spoil the liar’s plans; I 'll cripple up or slay more .than forty scandal fans.” The town is full of scrapping because that story spread; we hear the wounded yapping, we count the mangled dead. The morgue is full of corses, the jail is full of jakes; oh, reader, hold your horses, and pass along no fakes.

TAGGART OUT OF IT.

Prosecutor Says Testimony Given Before the Grand Jury was Changed. Indianapolis, Oct 19.-—Thomas Taggart, Democratic national comm’tteeman, today was removed from the list of defendants to the indictment charging conspiracy to commit felonies at the last election and primaries. Action was in criminal court on motion of Presecutor A. J. Rucker. ” In presenting this motion to W. H, Eichhorn, special judge, Mr. Rucker said witnesses, who were before the grand jury previously to the return of the indictment, had failed to substantiate the testimony they gave before the grand jury when called to the witness stand in the trial of Mayor Joseph E. Bell, and as a result the state found its case as it related to Mr. Taggart materially weakened and changed.

Mr. Rucker referred specifically to Paul Hagen, secretary of the Home Brewing Company, who testified before the grand jury that he had given Thomas Taggart $750 at the Denison hotel in 1914, and on the witness stand had sworn he was mistaken in his testimony and that a contribution had been made to Mr. Taggart previously to that year but no money had been given him as was related to the grand jury. Differences in the testimony of other witnesses was also mentioned. Judge Eichhorn said the motion was proper and would be sustained. He also advised the prosecutor that some other defendants appeared to be in the same position as Mr. Taggart. He said the state should go over its evidence and ascertain what should be done in reference to these others who were jointly indicted.

When Mr. Hagen testified in criminal court during the trial of Mayor Bell that it was in 1913 he gave a contribution of $750 to Thomas Taggart at the Denison hotel and that he did not give any contribution to Taggart in 1914, but carried $750 in cash to the Democratic headQuafters in the K. of P. building, he said he could not tell to whom he had given the money. ”1 delivered it to the eommittee'men in the K. of P. building." said Hagen on the witness stand. "I don’t know whom I gave it-to. I made a check payable to myself, cashed it and took the money to the committee room.’’ Pressed by Prosecutor Rucker, Hagen said he did not know to whom he had given the $750 contribution in 1914, except that he left the money in ti e committee room. It developed that Hagen, about a week before he was put on the witness stand, and Several weeks after the trial of .Mayor Bell started, came to the prosecutor and told him he had made a mistake when he testified before the grand jury several months before that he had given $750 to Taggart at the Denison hotel as the. Home Brewing Company's contribution ten the Democratic campaign fund. I'roSecutor Rucker asked that action in the election, cases be deferred until December 1 because of the congested, condition Of the criminal court docket. He said there are a large number of other cases which should be tried before further action is taken .in the election cases.. Accordingly the other election Cases were continued to December.

Tippecanoe County Board To Try Voting Machines.

Lafayetee, Ind.. Oct. 19,—The board of county commissioners awarded contracts last night for thirty voting machines to cost $750 each. This is the first definite move in this county to change the manner of voting from the ballot to the machine. .There are fifty-six voting precincts in Tippecanoe county and with the machines in service the number will be decreased to thirty. If the saving through the machines ic s3,ooo.next year the amount is to be paid to the company that sold the machines. According to the contract if nothing is saved nothing is to be paid.

Mules for the Slaughter.

(New York, October 19—Twentyfive thousand mules for the allies will be shipped from here in a fewweeks, making $160,000,000 worth of mules and horses taken from this country since the war opened. The quantity of standing timber now owned by the farmers of the Vnited States reaches a huge total. It is estimated to exceed 250 billion feet of saw timber and 1 1-3 billion cords of cordwood.—Yearbook, 1914, U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. The Australian government last year sent a commissioner to study the methods of the rapid and enormous distribution of fresh fish in Great Britain.

OTHER RESTITUTION TYPES

e Kings 6:8-t3.—October U. Elisha Awakens the Shunammite’s Son. Punishes His Servant Gehazi—Entraps the Syrian Army and Renders Them Good For Evil—lmportant Letsons In Righteousness. “The angel of Jehovah eneampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.’’ —Psalm Si.-7. 1 ■ HILE the events noted in < ■ I today’s Study may not find exact counterparts in the events of the coming Kingdom, they nevertheless represent principles which will lie in operation then —reward for right-doing, punishment for intentional wrong-doing, and sympathetic restraint and instruction. All these principles will operate during Messiah’s Kingdom, and under these the world will gradually progress. Millions of people will long remember a most touching scene in the Pho-to-Drama of Creation, representing the death of the Shunammite’s son and showing how Elisha awakened the

lad from the death sleep. Few saw this touching film without tears. It pictured the comin g Restitution work of the Millennium, when all the sleeping dead will be awakened to complete their education in the school of experience under more favorable conditions than any

now enjoyed. The Church, however, will have risen before then. Gehazi Smitten With Leprosy. Gehazi had in many respects? been a faithful servant to Elisha. As a result he had blessings of knowledge widen the majority of people did not possess. With the knowledge came responsibility; hence the severe punishment inflicted upon him.—Ezekiel 3:20; 18:2024; 33:13, 15, 16. . When General Naaman perceived the great miracle accomplished in his cleansing from leprosy, he returned to Elisha, offering thanks to God and desiring the Prophet to receive the presents be had brought. In his refusal Elisha manifested what we believe is always the Lord’s Spirit—never to sell spiritual things for money. It is for this reason that some ministers now object to taking up collections, holding fairs or soliciting money in any manner. Whatever is given to the Lord’s service should be given with a free hand and a ready heart. It is a privilege to give to the Lord and His Cause. He is not poor. Under such a noble example Gehazi should have profited, but he allowed covetousness to enter his mind. Perceiving that General Naaman regretted that his presents were not accepted, Gehazi pursued and told, him that the Prophet had said that while he did not desire the gifts for himself, yet he would accept some of the garments for his servants. The ruse was successful. The goods were given to Gehazi.' He secreted them, until the Prophet called him, told him all about the matter and pronounced his punishment—leprosy. So it will be in the coming Age. Disobedience will meet with swift punishment. Of the judges of that time it is written that they will not judge with the hearing of the ear or the sight of the eye, but will judge righteously.—lsaiah 11:3, 4. Elisha’s Capture Attempted. It was probably after General Naaman’s death that the Syrian king warred against Israel. To his surprise his every move was checkmated. He looked for a traitor in his own household or for some explanation. Finally one of his servants told him, “The Prophet Elisha is in Israel and makes known to their king all thy counsels, even those of thy bedchamber." The Syrian king sought to capture Elisha. He sent spies to find where Elisha dwelt, and located him at Dothan. Thereupon he sent a good-sized

Elisha and his Servant.

With us are more than they that be with them.” But the servant did not fully realize what Divine powers were with his master. Then Elisha prayed that the young mail’s eyes might be opened; and he beheld angelic hosts, horses and chariots of fire around about Elisha. This was sufficient. The Prophet exercised a supernatural power of blinding the Syrians—just what we can only conjecture. Doubtless they saw the hills, valleys, roads, etc.; but their eyes of understanding were closed in some hypnotic manner. Elisha gave them to understand that he would lead them to the proper city, and guided them straight into the city of Samaria. There, surrounded by the hosts of the capital, he broke the hypnotic spell. Their eyes opened, the Syrians perceived that they were in the hands of their enemies. The king of Israel inquired of Elisha whether he should destroy them. The answer was, “No; feed them and let them return home.” Catching the spirit of the occasion. the king made them a bountiful feast and set them free.

force to surround the little city and make Elisha’s esca p e impossible. In the morning Elisha’s servant looked forth and beheld the Syrians on every side. Terrified, he said. “Alas, my master! how shall we do?” Promptly came the answer, “Fear not! for they that be
