There Is satire In Governor Brum baugh's veo of the bill to Increase the salaries of legislators from $1,500 to $2,5C0 a year.

Many men w'.ll willingly give up time and money fcr the national good, and It ls an Inopportune titno to approve in creased compensation to these Repre sentatives." The Governor says in the course of his veto that like bills bavo been disap proved by his predecessors, and that members do not seek legislative places fcr the salary, and there Is no lack of willing t!tlzer.s for place. He adds that the common people have "express ed decided protest against this Increas ing ccet of legislative service." The Governor says that members should be willing to perform legisla tive service at a sacrifice to them ee'.ves, adding: "The proper way to de termine this compensation of members wculd be to submit tho question In the candidacy of those willing to serve.

Rom. 1:16. Why should we he ashamed of the Gospel? Men lire not nulinmcd of per versions of , It Our friends , who luive espoused modern "isms" talk of their beau ties In the pnrlor nnd on the street, litind us litera ture about them nnd Invite us to their meetings. It seems natural for them to doio. But there ls some thing unnatural about our doing likewise In regard to the Gospel. Why? We cun understand why Tuul might hnve been aylmmed of the Gospel In Rome. Toduy the cross bus become glorified in men's eyes, but then It was only the symbol of shame, und Puul preached (is Suvlor one who wns crucified between two thieves. Many of the early Christians were of lowly station while Rome wns the cen ter of wealth, culture nnd power. Things have changed somewhat, outwardly, yet we too find abundant temptations to be ashamed of the Gospel. Scientific circles often ridi cule Its teaching ns to man's orlglu, condition nnd destiny. The working man finds It tukes courage to tell his companions of his conversion and school boys will jibe their fellow who dares to kneel nt his bedside to pray. Frances Ridley Huvergnl tells of at tending a social gathering one eve ning where she wns Invited to sing. She selected n sweet hymn about Jesus nnd sang It, nnd as we read of It, we fcl It was not easy to do. that, Why We Are Ashamed. And no-v It Is timo to try to give the real r ason why Paul might have been nshan e! of the Gospel nt Rome, why we ma.' be oshumed of It now, nnd, on the t i.trary, why the follow ers of new "J. are not nsbnined of them. We bt'u ve it ls becuuse of the different aitl.vU taken towards man. The Gospel rt .mrds him ns lost nnd undone, needing n Savior who redeems hiin by the death of the cross. It tells him be must be born again, becoming n new creation. True, the Gospel holds before man n des tiny such as hns not entered his heart to conceive, but only sovereign grace can nwnrd this destiny. False relig ions,, on the other hand, repeat Sa tan's He, "Ye shall be as gods," nnd as sure mnn he Is abundantly able of himself to reach the heights. The natural heart loves such flattery, but resents the attitude of the Gospel, while we, In our turn, are ashamed of It Paul tells, however, why he was not ashamed. First, the Gospel Is n pow er. Of this thera can be no doubt. For exnniple, John Lawrence declared thnt however much the British gov ernment hns done for India, the mis sionary hns done more; the modern educational system of India sprung from Carey nnd Duff through Macnu ley. Dr. Edgerton R. Voting tells, In a fascinating wny, how this same Gos pel wrought changes among the Amer ican Indians for the fnr north, trans forming them from Improvident sav ages Into owners of harvesting ma chinery and well-built barns and boun teous crops. The Converted Medicine Man. - But, this Is not all; it Is n power "unto salvation." Let others do wltt all their enchantments what the Gos pel Is doing every duy bringing pence to bud consciences, contentment to restless hearts, and hope .to those whose outlook into the future Is gloomy. We recall one story told by Dr. Kgerton R. Young about an In dian medicine mnn. We are per sunded by his accounts nnd those of David Brnlnerd thnt many of these men were possessed by demons, Just ns spiritualistic mediums have their "controls." Doctor Young visited the mnn referred to nnd consented to ent with him. In nn Instant there was a glenm In the Indian's eye and he glanced at the medicine bag hanging on his tent pole. Doctor Young knew what the glance meant; the Indian thought he would now be nblc to kill him by some of the powerful poisons In the medicine bag. Doctor lourtg boldly charged bUn with this murder ous intent. The Indian cowered un der the rebuke, but that wns all. Yet, after some weeks, this same poor creature wns found clothed, in his right mind nnd sitting nt the feet of Jesus. Surely we are not ashamed of a Gospel of power like this! Third, this power Is for everyone who believes, Jew or Gentile. The fact that all races and classes may enter Into the blessing suggest that the Gospel originates with him who Is Lord of nil. The fact thnt It Is by faith mukes it available to every son of man. Where ls plnce for shame with such a Gospel us this I Ashamed of Jesus! Bonner far Iitt evenlnR blunti to own a atar; He sheds the beams of llnht divine On this benighted soul of mine. Ashamed of Jeaue! that dear Friend On whom my hopea of heaven depend. No; when 1 blush be tills my ahame That I no more revere hl name. What It It to Believe? And now, denr reader, what Is that belief, thnt faith which brings us sal vation? It does not mean mere belief In a creed, or anything of thnt sort It Is rather trust In a person nnd surely the Savior of sinners Is alto gether trustworthy. Venture, then, upon him and snlvntlon is yours, for "with the henrt man belleveth unto righteousness nnd with tho mouth confession ls made unto salvation." j MAKE THE MAP ALL WHITE.

And shining o'er the polar star, Alas ka's golden light, And till the states will follow till we make the map all white. LICENSE AND ILLITERACY. One of the claims of the defenders of the liquor t radio Is that prohibition states have a large percentage of Illit enfey than lmvu license states. They proceed to prove it by grouping to gether tho license states having the best showing lu this respect, nnd against these they group Southern states such lis Georgia, Mississippi nnd North Carolina, having a very large colored population. The illiteracy In these states comes to us ns a relic of slavery days, nnd existed there lu even a large percentage before the adoption of prohibition. Comparing the New England states, we find thut Mulue with prohibition has the lowest percentage of illit eracy of nny with the exception of Vermont, und Vermont bad no licensed saloons for 50 yours previous to May 1, 11K13, and last year hud license iu only 17 towns. If prohibition promotes Illiteracy, then the most illiterate states lu the Union ought to be Mulne, Kansas und Vermont. On the con trary there are only four states In the Union where the perceutuge of illit eracy Is lower than In Kansas, while Maine and Vermont present the most favorable showing of the New England states.

Noue 08 SALOON DEAD ENEMY OF LABOR. Organized labor should be opposed to the saloon because the Interests of the saloon are always opposed to the Interests of the worklngmun. The wny to find out whether or not organized labor can nlTord to stand for the saloon Is to find out what organ ized labor Itself stands for, and then Fee how the saloon comes up to Its standards. Organised labor believes In better Jobs for the worklnginan, In greater efficiency, In Increased wages, in the abolition of child labor, In the dignity and elevation of womanhood, and In the preservation of the home. The snloon breaks everyone of these standards. Ch'. rles Stelzle. AS DESTRUCTIVE AS WHISKY. Doctor Struempei!. n German physi ologist of high standing, does not tol erate for a moment the suggestion that beer Is less of a social enemy than other liquors. He says: "Nothing Is more erroneous from the physician's standpoint thun to think of diminishing the destructive effects of alcoholism by substituting beer for other alcoholic drinks, or that the vic tims of drink ure found only In those countries where whisky helps the peo ple of n low grade of culture to forget their poverty nnd misery."

Produce More Food, But at tha Lowest Cost. A trip through most of the grain growing districts of Western Cunnda, and Information received from authen tic sources, reveals thut the spring seeding of wheat, barley and outs ls finished und the grain Is having a most rnpld growth. Men of farming expe rience here sny that the conditions are similar to (hose years when there was an abundant harvest reaped. During the past year a number of new settlers came Into the country, nnd they will undoubtedly have n good crop this year. This added to the normal acre age, mnde considerably less by the lack of labor owing to the number who have gone to the front, will give a fair general yield. It Is surprising the growth thut this country Is capable of producing. Wheat has this spring germinated and shown three or four inches growth In five or six days, nnd with anything like favorable weather, harvesting should commence about the 15th of August, or a little over one hundred days from first seeding. Hundreds of funners throughout this vast country paid for their entire holdings out of one year's crop and It would not be surprising If the same experience met a great many more this year. The best authorities on the wheat situation give It as their opinion that for many years to come, wheat prices will be high. They bnse their opinion on a scientific calculation and their reasoning seems to be sound. Anyway, It Is quite evident that for some yenrs to come, the producer of whent will be amply rewnrded for nny effort ha mny muke to develop this branch of agricultural Industry. Money may be made on the hlgh-pilced lands of tha wheat-growing districts of the United Stntes, but It Is a question If these high-priced lands would not be more profitably employed In other branches of farming than In growing the smaller grains, leaving It to lands Just ns pro ductive for wheat, less expensive to op erate, und with a much smaller Initial price, to provldo the world with this necessity of life, nere Is where Western Canndn, with Its vast rich fertile plains, Its low railway rates. Its exceptionally good shipping privileges, Its excellent climate, nnd Its perfect social conditions, has a com bination of advantages not possessed by any other portion of the continent Furthermore, these lands, of unex celled quality, are extraordinarily cheap, while for the man who does not care to undertake farmrng on so exten sive n scnle there Is the free home stead which offers him all the opportu nity for which he Is looking. The prospective purchaser will hava no difficulty at all In making a selec tion of a fine piece of land, well lo cated and convenient to transportation, which may be had for from $15 to $29 an acre, and the railway companies or other holders of large tracts are al ways glad to sell on easy terms. Or If he desires a farm that Is already under cultivation nnd Improved, many such are to be had from farmers who already have mado comfortable for tunes nnd are ready to retire. It Is not to the grain grower only thnt Western Canada offers great op portunities. If one wishes to go In for cattle raising, there are great stretches of range land both free and for lease; and In many sections of the country there are the finest of grazing lands that mny be purchased at very low prices. The nppenl which hns been sent out both by the United Stntes and Cana dian governments, for an unstinted, un limited production of food stuffs to pre vent whntmlght otherwise be a fam ine throughout this great continent and then consequently, throughout tha world should In Itself arouse all the ambition nnd desire In the heart nnd soul of the mhn who Is not fighting nt the front, to produce nil ho can. In addition, there Is the potent fact thnt no chances are being taken In answering the nppenl. Take It from either stand point you answer the country's call, al though not fighting, nnd you are also Insured against nny loss by the high prices thnt are bound to exist for some time.
