The man who prates most about
breadth of mind is t ften the most uncomprisinc
bicc?t.
(liven a iitle more time and the nations
of Europe now at war will have
so impoverished themseives in men
and money that thre will be little dancer
of this country being drawn into
the conflict. When it is all over, provided
we behave ourselves, we may
reasonably expect to have a mortagage
on the world. Therein lies a greater
danger to these United States than
i- to be found in the present disturbed
condition.
ELECTION TO BE HELD SEPT. 1 i.
The election on prohibition will be
held on Sept. 14. The attempt on the
part of the opponents of prohibition
to tret an injunction against the holding.
of the election failed. The supreme
court has settled that matter,
and. let it be said, it was unanimous
< !, the part of the supreme court.
The friends of prohibition did not
doubt the outcome: but the effort to
>."1 the injunction aeainst holdiw* tie*
election caused some confusion. One
man, some days affo, said to the
writer: "The election will never lie
held." But he was mistaken. Let
prohibitionists everywhere be informed
upon the matter. It is already
settled that the election is to be held.
It is an election upon the question
for state wide prohibition. To vote o e
must have his reinstation certificate
and his tax receipt for 11)11. If prohibition
carries, the State goes into
the dry column? if it does not iro dry
the law now in effect will hold; that
i.~, each county will be just where it
was before* the election.
There is little doubt of the State
failing to go dry. Kvn the enemies
of prohibition admit that, hut there
should be no indifference on the part
of prohibitionists. Many a battle
has been lost by being too sure.
I ?>t no friend to prohibition neglect
to exercise his right to vote on Sept.
14. We sincerely trust that on that
day there will be such an overwhelming
defeat for the liquor forces that
they will be shattered once and for
all. The writer has himself received
four different tracts, one of them containing
seventy-five pages, sent out
by the Wholesale I.ipor healers' Association
of America. The whole
State has been sown with liqqu. r litei
ature from the whiskey men. Hut
on Sept. 14, the people of this Stat",
in our humble judgment, will utterly
route the wtyskey forces.
TEUTONS CHECKED.
; tfiermany's Plans Spoiled by Naval
Reverse.
(icrtnnn naval reverses in the (Julf

diverted attention front the
growing out of the sinking of
tite White Star liner Araltie.
The (ierinan version of tite Riga
battle has not been given out, Inil
, he iletiniteness of the Russian report
on the sinking or crippling of the Herliiaii
bailie eruiser Mollke. two other
t rttis. i s ami eight torpedo boats has
sent a wave of enthusiasm throughI
out the country and dispelled the depression
over the Russian retreat on
land.
Aside front the loss of the tierman
ships, the naval engagement is
regarded chietly important for the
strategic effect on the land operations
in the Cnrtunii sweep eastward toward
I'etrogrnd. which military observers
now eottsider as lutving been
cheeked and possibly irreparably defeat

CHEAP PAINT
There are 1000 "cheap" paints and
a dozen really cheap ones.
That double word "ch ap" is the

good paint costs, two or three times

Cheap paint is good paint; there is
no other; no other is cheap. a
The two words sound alike but their I
meanings are opposite. "Cheap" costs ||
double. Cheap is lJevoe.

PERSONAL MEDITATION
God keeps me throuhg the morning,
He keeps me through the day.
And when daylight fades into nighi
He rolls my cares away.
Hod gives me food and clothing;
He gives me water to drink;
He gives me good surroundings
And a mind to think.
Cod gives me countless blessings; I
He. cares for me through life;
He'll bring me out triumphant
In any mortal strife.
God wants me to be faithful;
He wants me to be true,
And what He puts before me,
I'll tryc?iy best to do.
