Two bibles are just now fresh from
the presses. The one issued under
the auspices of the Americn Baptist
Publication Society is one of these.
It is delightfully readable, admirably
printed in open type, has a sensible
margin, and is most conveniently ar
ranged in paragraphs. It contains
variations from both the Authorized
and revised versions, which the trans
lates have made in behalf of greater
accuracy. Nevertheless, there are
many grey headed men and women
who will find it difficult to make such
changes as for example the one in
the Lord's Prayer: "Deliver us from
the evil one;"' instead of the old time
"Deliver us from evil." Of course
all of these changes have long been
known to students of the bible, and
for the most part can be found in the
j is one which is never likely to be over
I come. And among all the resolutions
adopted in Kansas which have worked
! to good ends, probably none better
have ever been adopted than these.
They set out that, even among the
farmers of Kansas themselves, there
has not been that unity of thought
and purpose which should exist, for
the reason that, withont it, energies
are divided between half a dozen dif
ferent bcdies without any central-state
body to serve as a clearing house of
works or ideas. It was resolved to
organize a state control agricuttuiai
body comprising all local bodies. Fol
lowing this was a resolution declaring
it the purpose of Kansas farmers to
co-operate with the great transporta
tion interests and all of the other
business and professinoal interests of
the state.
Vast distances have, in a large
measure, compelled isolation of
classes in this country, andf to that
extent, forced divergencenes of inter
ests. With distance being vanquished
as it is with communication quick and
cheap, and better facilities in every
way for coming and keeping in closer
touch with one another, it will be I
found, in the, course of time, that the
solution of some problems now feared
to be insoluble is in the one word; Cooperation.

the above query. The subject is ex

if not all diseases are now known to
be caused by "germs." All nature,
including the human body itself, is
literally swarming with an infinite
variety of microbic life, but fortunate

seen to it that Oregon will not per
mit Kansas to have any the best of
us in the way of political innovations,
hence the victory of Miss Clara C.
Munson. However, the Enterprise
heartily congratulates the lady on
her victory. There is nothing of the
modesty of the violet about the mod
ern political aspirations. The average
man will usually make good as council
man, or in some less conspicious po
sition even', before lifting his eyes to
the more exalted office of mayor, but
not so with his political sister. She
wants the best or nothing, and she
seems to be getting it.
Surely, the more knowledge the
various Christian churches have of

tolerance, and the greater unity will
characterize their labors in the build

"Cancer" is another disease of slow

a patient, or with clothing, books,

"Malaria'' is caused by the bite of a
species of mosquito, the Anopheles.
The infection is not conveyed by wat

is transmitted by the bite of another
species of mosquito, "the Stegomyia

disease in its former hot beds, Cuba

help by buying a great number but
each one helps. Even the little child
who sent the following postal to the
