A bill was passed in the last
New York state legislature, re­
pealing the state prohibition en­
forcement act, known as the
Mullen-Gage law. The governor,
A1 Smith, is in a dilemma. If
he signs he will antagonize the
greater and more powerful por­
tion of his party in the state,
and if he vetoes, it he will put
the state in opposition to fed­
eral law, for it is claimed that
if the Mullen-Gage law is re­
pealed it will be impossible to
enforce prohibition in the state.
He is keeping the state in sus­
pense, and it is said that $1,000,-
000 are being wagered on his ac­
tion, with the odds 10 to 9 that
he will sign.
William Jennings Hryan while
losing the race for moderator of
the Presbyterian assembly, vet
seems to have been a kind of
a king pin and won a resolution
favoring the Fundamentalist po­
sition. But will the Assembly
go on record as holding that a
belief in evolution necessarily
implies that man was descended
cd from the ape? Mr. Bryan s
variety of evolution is vastly
different from what others hold.
He also upholds staunchly and
rightly, the doctrine of the Vir­
gin Birth o f Christ, but this doc­
trine is
more understandable
under an evolutionary hypothe­
sis than li uler any other. Ac­
cording to evolution, in the lower
forms of life are a number ol
instances o f virgin birth.
In
fact after one species has com
pleted its cycle of evolution, be­
fore an additional advance can
be ¡made, a virgin birth is ne­
cessitated.
A questionary has been sent
us by an assistant professor of
sociology in the University of
Oregon who is working for his
Ph. D. degree. In it he asks this
question: “ What is religion? ’ ’ We
submit it to our readers to con­
sider. The answer we shall send
is: “ Religion is life focussed to­
ward God.’ ’ Can they think of
a better?

J. B. Powell, an American
newspaper man of Shanghai, who
was capture! by Chinese ban­
dits, was let out on parole to
carry the terms o f the release of
the captives to the foieign con­
suls. He returned according to
his agreement. This recalls the
case of Regulus, the Roman gen­
eral, who had been taken pris­
oner b.y the Carthagenians. and
sent on parole to the Roman sen­
ate to decide whether peace
should be made, or the war car­
ried on. Regulus advised against
peace, but kept his word and re­
turned to his captors, knowing
full well the awful revenge his
enemies would take on him. He
was buried alive up to his nuck
in sand, his eyelids cut off and
his head and face smeared with
honey, and left to die o f starva­
tion and thirst, being eaten by
(lies attracted by the honey, and
exposed to the full glare of the
torrid sun. We recall as a bov,
seeing a steel engraving depict­
ing his starting back, although
senators and his w ife and family
were pleading for him to remain.
But he considered his word sa­
cred and would not violate it,
even though his return meant
torture and death. Let us hope
Mr. Powell will not have to pay
with his life for keeping faith
with the bandits.

Prunes have burst their husks
and are doing nicely although
the crop in general is spotted,
some districts reporting better
sets than others.
Farmers feel
that owing to the earliness o f the
season, moisture conditions, and
health of trees, larger sizes and
less drop will result in a heavier
crop than is now indicated.
The set o f cherries in general
has been light, blacks even more

Threshers
Case steel b u ilt threshers with proper attach-
are prepared to furnish
w ill thresh a ll grains and seeds grown.
PJASE threshers are sturdily built of steel
insuring long life. Steel construction also
prevents total destruction by fire. Rotting
and warping is impossible in a Case steel
thresher. Distorted frames and disalignment
of shafts and bearings from the pull of main
drive belt« are avoided by the Case method of
construction. Galvanizing prevents rusting.
Add to this the fact that Case threshers in­
sure the cleanest of threshing, thorough sepa­
ration, perfect cleaning and unequaled saving
and you have the reason why more Case
threshers were built and sold last season than
in any previous year of the history of the
