A'HADICAL CHANGE in the method

four members of the Council. Here-
after as a result of a charter amend-

The average farmer is of the opinion
that the Washington conference will
help him ivery little jwith the desper
ate problems of lis daily existence.
For there; are two things upon which
the farmer depends: suitable seasons
for the production of crops and profit-
able markets for his products. The

influence lupon the seasons and it does
notappear to be wielding a great deal
of influence on the markets.

somewhat less definite than pro-

after such words as agenda camou-
flage and the like especially if one has
no real knowledge of their signifi
cance?
The opponents of the laws concern
ihg liquor and gambling the laws en-
forcing decency and morality are con
tinually howling for their repeal or
relaxation upon the ground that they
are not duly executed. They abuse the
officials the lawyers the courts and
one knows not what on the ground
that they are not doing their duty.

as our respected Mayor emphatically
if not elegantly says : "You are damn

you don't" ;
Here is an extract from a speech to
a club reported in the Dallas News of
yesterday which though it is some-
what lengthy the Parson will oubte. It
is on this same subject of observance
of law and says perhaps better than
he what the Parson ihas again and
again urged in this column:
j "Every man should hold It to be his
own personal duty to obey the laws
and to see that they are obeyed. It

U cause you some UIscomfort but
we cannot afford to allow every man
to select the laws which he shall obey

are no more anarchists than you who
obey some laws and cast aside the

"The citizens don't go before the
grand jury and tell what they know
about law-breaking in the city. They
do not appear on the juries if they

The Parson by the way has at vari-
ous times made a canvas for money
for various charitable objects and.ne is
free to say that he finds the members
of the churches much more liberal
givers than the critics of the churches.
The means "whereby Christ rescues
His own from the wicked "world" is
the introduction of a new spirit He
Himself saw that it was necessary
that he. should go aWay in order that
the Spirit of Truth the Comforter
should come. By His indwelling a
now mastery is given to them. The
evils of the age lose their appeal and
their power. He In whom the Spirit
dwells Is Jlprd of the age and of the
world. The peace of God which rass-
eth all understanding is more to him
than all the wild jexcitement of dn.
The joy of duty done is greater than
all the base ease of nlackcrs. The
riches of God's grace are more than afl
treasures of wickedness. The love
or numanuy is more man uomin on
over humanity
The comfort of Hirf

In Gcd enables.him to be steadfast-in-

Miss Booth said. "A woman tias no

The enormous sale of cosmetic lJ

Miss Booth thinks moderation and
