PATIENCE AND COWARDICE

(By CAJtDXItAX. OIBBONS.) As an evidence of the righteousness of America's causa la tha war, X would polat to the patieace of our Prasl&sut and Congress, under tna Ions aerloa of grave Injuries and broken pledges endured by the United States daring- the tints that Germany waa professing its friendship for ni. W were shocked to sea onr property unjustly destroyed In Tast quantity, but what waa lnmeaaurably mora serious, to read of onr men, women ana children, killed In Ylolatlon of the universally accepted customs of the sev. When at length not only America cttlvsi, but neutrals everywhere, suffered appallingly miller the cruelties of a nation which hesitated not to disregard international law, we learned that patience was being construed as cowardice, and that It waa folly to hope that wiser counsels would prevail among our enemies to bring about a change in their lawless policy. Then we took the only course open to us, the defense of cur sovereign rights as a nation, and the uphold, big of the Ideals of truth and justice la the hearts of ail peoples. We hare en. tared Into the atruggla with a clean coascieace, seeking; no territorial or financial gain, but the peace of the world, the liberty of its people, and the security of aU nations. mond rhurch paid today Uio convention was called to "talk ever matters of Importance and to arrange affairs." Meetings will be held during the afternoons and evenigs. The evening meetings will bo e angelical ones. The general missionary treasurer. E. G.

PROFOUND HUMAN DRAMA AT DELUXE "The Honor System." at Hammond DeLuxe theater Sunday and Monday, is basically the picturiiation of the grief of millions it is a great, throbhing drama of a thousand thrills. Its whole appeal is founded not on the forceful presentation of a cent-tries old problem, but on the universality of human emotions. The deft touches In the film that bring the lump to the throat are real, not forced. Take, for instance, the scene rf Joseph Stanton's departure for a position elorg the Mexican border. Stanton's aged mother has seen to it that "her boy" has been provided with a new ruit of "store clothes." She stands at the gate of the little gravel path before the house and waves a sad farewell to him as he starts down the road to the depot. But even through her tired, teardimmed eyes ehe spies something on the back of his coat. It is the tag.

Dr. Mervis removed fifteen shot from beneath the skin. One story is that Howard and his wife had been In trouble with the bartender abo-at en hour before and it is this bartender that is under susnlclon.
