Breedin made a very sensible prohibition address at the First Baptist Church Sunday night. The way he presents the subject it appeals to the business man. There has been a general awakening to the paralyzing influence of the liquor traffic on business. It does not pay to sell whiskey. The revenue costs more than it comes to. According to our humble judgment cue prcacia general assemuiy is coinposed of as fine timber as has been gathered there in many a year. There seems to be more sober, serious thought, more determination to make good, on the part of our law makers than has been the case in a long time. These gentlemen seem to take their jobs seriously. That is just what the people who elected them wish them to do. The trust is a high one, and deserves to be taken in earnest. Wo freely open the columns o> The Times to any Union citizen. Wo are not responsible for the views of those who contribute articles. We do not mean to endorse tho views of a writer, not even the articles contributed by our regular correspondents. But we believe in being impartial. We invite discussion upon live ques tions. At this time we especially invite a discussion of the proposed Good Roads Bond issue. We do not care whether we agree with the idea that will be expressed. That is not the question. It is one of fairness, of opening wide the columns of The Times for sane, honest discussion. Next week the bill calling for a vote upon the question of issuing bonds to build good roads will perhaps pass. The draft of the bill as we understand it, has many good features. We had hoped the bill as introduced might have reached us for publication this week. But up to the time of going to press we have not been able to get hold of it. THE CONSTANTLY BREAKING CIRCLE une oi tne painiui lacts 01 our earthly career is that the circle of friendship is constantly being broken by the Grim Reaper. As we settle into our place in the complete circle, no sooner do we begin to breathe freely than there comes another shock?death enters the circle and the jar runs throughout the whole One feature of this discordant fact iq in thf? rociiltincr Hoproncp in thf number of the completed whole. True one may keep on the alert to brings in new material, and it is a dut> we owe ourselves so to do. Hut tht task becomes more and more difficult as the years pile upon our heads We become less nimble-footed in our quest for new associates. There is a sort of hardening of the spiritua arteries and our recuperative poweii become less pronounced. There is this cheering hope, however. One finds less and less satisfaction in the mere physicial comforts of life ane leans more and more to the spiritua verities. The shock to our physicia foundations drives us to a surer hope in the blessed thought of immortality Perhaps it is the purpose of the Heavenly Father to produce just thi result, and the hardest experiences of life are thus driving us to the one enduring value?salvation. It is utterly inconceivable that a life sucl as we now know, with its heart throbs and sorrows, should be the end foi which we were created. If man has no life beyond the grave the whole I ( thing is a huge unmistakable failure. The hunger for eternal life is a strong guarantee that such a life is within our grasp. The breaking of j* the circle here does but awaken us r to our need and force us to seek for 0 the soul comfort in the thought of a an enduring circle beyond the grave, u The great Teacher spoke but little c in definite terms of the hereafter, * but the words He did speak upon the v subject are frought with abounding comfort. "In my Father's house"? \ "I go to prepare a place for you"? n "The hour cometh, and now is, when p t all that are in their graves shall come forth"?the few such expressions that fell from His lips have done more to comfort and heal the v broken hearts of this world than all f the sciences and philosiphies on earth * the sciences and philosophies on earth ?

B. BR, BRICK STABLE A LETTER FROM LODGE Editor Union Times:?It has been ome time since I have written anyhing for your columns. But I have ead with deep interest every issue f the paper. I still have a deep and ibiding interest in all that contribites to the upbuilding of my native ounty, and I am glad that the Times till stands at the fore-front of those orces that operate for the general welfare. Here, as elsewhere in the world, ve have "war times." Our custoners in Europe are fighting, and the nd is not in sight. There is no use o mourn over the situation. We nust make the best of it. We must .djust ourselves to the vexed sitution, and I am persuaded that we /ill do so with that courage, and aith in God that has ever characeri'zed the American people. Every loud has its silvery lining, and the ilvery lining is prophetic of the assing of the cloud. This cloud will ass away as all other clouds have one. Prosperity will return in due ime, and we will forget these dark ays in the light and glory of that /hich is to come. God still mainains supreme control of the nations, le who sees the end from the beinning will see to it that His puroses are carried out. There are some things for which re should be profoundly thankful. >ne is this, that we are not as a ati'on engaged in this conflict. That, risdom and foresight that guided ur forefathers in founding this reublic so that there could be no entangling alliances" with foreign ations is one of our present saftuards. The many miles of ocean aat intervene between us and the old 'orld, making us practically immune rom foreign invasion, is something jr which we should be thankful, hen the fact that America is reardod all over the world as a peace>ving nation, and the fact that all er acts in the past have been con-! istent with this profession, places s in a most enviable position at this me. Then we should be thankful lat our present government is in le hands of men whom people can afely trust. Then we have resourzs of our own sufficient to sustain s in any situation. We are at peace' 'ith one another and with the world, urthermore, we have a great reponsibility resting upon us as the nly great christian nation now at eace. We must live up to our idealu ve must show to the world, not simly by profession but by splendid ction that there is a more excellent ray. Every American should be an ctive peace advocate. It is to be ur privilege to lead the bleeding ations to an abiding peace. Meanwhile, we should not forget that we ave our oWn perils?that the only oundation for abiding peace is jusice between man and man and beween nations. The injured must! ry out against the injurer, and if here is not a peaceful adjustment he resort to arms will finally follow. So let us, without giving over to espondency in the least possible deTee, adjust ourselves to the new and rying conditions, and with faith in lod and good will toward fellow-men et us enter the year 1915 with unimmed hope and with the just and easonable expectation that our eforts will be crowned with success.
