Why not supply uie burglar, tin; lareener and Other habitual criminals with tlie'biblo? The men in the very act of shattering each of the ten commandments and every precept of the good book, are now to be taught that they are doing all this monstrous and unchristian devastation in the name of God. The lying hypocrisy of each of Europe's monarchs in assuming that God has brought this war for the special benefit of the self-appointed partner of God was not a sufficient blasphemy, but now the ignorant man -at-arnis is to be fired with a religious frenzy and made to believe that his acts of murder and rapine are at the instance of an all-seeing and Divine Providence. SWAT THE RAT YEAR or more ago Professor O'Gara railed attention to tho noeessitv of a eamnaitni of extermination against rats, then far from common. He published a brief history or the various species of rats and described best methods of fighting tho pest. iiittle attention was paid to tho warning, in conse quence rats have multiplied as if by magic. A few years ago no one had ever seen a rat in the Rogue River valley. Now there are thousands of them. Scarcely a place in Bedford is now free from rats. They have" overrun the country and can be seen at many distant farms. They are filthy and obnoxious, carriers of disease and snreaders of pestilence. In addition, they cause immense, property loss annually. Steps should be taken at once for an organized cam paign of rat extermination. Such campaigns arc in full swing throughout the south, tho middle west and in the coast cities. Millions of rats arc being slaughtered, and prompt local notion alone will bring the situation under control. This is a good field for Med ford club now that the paigns are over. r"rs: , -imf.. Praying For (ny C. K. SIcClatchy in the Sacra mento Bee.) War brings in its train not only a plethora ot horrors, but as well an olla-podrlda of absurdities. Neae Is more Inconsistent and strikingly grotesque than that which, proceeding from tho height of tho sublime man's Inherent faltS in a Creator descends to the depths of the ridiculous tho belief that Ged will decree and assist In the slaughter ot hundreds ot thousands In order to gratify the homicidal prayers ot others. ' The saturnine humor In the whole thing Is that every one of these Christian nations each having priests and ministers of the same faiths prajrlns that God will etve It a murderous Nelson lock on Its op ponents seems to have implicit con fidence that Its prayers alone will prevail with tho Almighty. Catholic France on bended knees begs Cod to permit her to put the children ot Austria to the sword. And Catholic Austria swings In cense in blessed censers in rhythmic accompaniment to tho same throat orison against France. cut-i In cathedral and in church, Prot estant England begs the Itcdeemer to be with her with His might as she seeks to silt tho throat of Prot estant Germany. And from Kaiser to woodcutter, gutteral prayers ascend to the Throno or Grace begging (ho God of Abraham, of Isaac, and ot Jacob to be with tho Fatherland as it caves in John Hull's head. In oach nation, Protestant nnd Catholic aud Jew unite in a pan- that In Ills beneficent mercy He will grant to His selected children the bloised privilege of making of other nations an abattoir, a sham bles, and a slaughter-houHC. While Pcaco has been driven from the Continent, Catholic cathedral, Protestant church and Jewish syna goguo In each particular nation at matins and vespers beg the Son of Peace that tho dove shall not return Bavo over n sea of blood; that the only olive brnnch she shall bring shall be one to laurel that partic ular nation with victory wnlle In other nations widows are weeping, children aru walling, and Fam'ne stalks abroad In hellish glee. If Turkey shall become a party to this nil-world crime, then from St, Sophia tho muozzln will call all tho faithful to pruy that tbo God who raised up Mohammed will nerve them with tho power of the Ever lasting Arms; that Ho will bo with Belgium Makes Good as Battleground (From tho Now York Herald.)

And If Japan and tho Orient alio shall elect to Join the murderers, the 'God of the East will bo invoked- through nuddha, through Ilrahma, nnd through Confucius to grant llti divine championship to them, as Ho did to Tarocrlano and to Genghis Khan. Is it not a blasphemy against tha Everlasting that His "dcoply-rollg-ious" children so degrado Him that they pray to Him to make easy tho way for them to cut tho throats ot His other "deeply-religious children? Have wo not advanced al all siuco tho days when ancient murderers slaughtered tho defenseless by the thousands and the tens ot thou sands claiming that In a divine vis Ion God had commanded them so to do; have wo stood still since the lime when, with bands reeking in the blood of their brothers and their sisters, these universal Cains ascended Into tho Holy of Holies and thanked the Almighty In that Ho had mado potent their butchering arms, had blessed them In their holy massacres? How Is the God that rclgneth from Everlasting to Everlasting to chooso between the prayers of Cath olic Franco nnd Catholic Russia on tho one hand, and Catholic Austria on the other? How is tho Omnipotent that hoar eth the cries of all His children thai doth the ravens feed, yea, provi dently carcth for the sparrow to decide whether Ho shall help Prot estant Gormany to make a Chicago stockyards out of England, or shall assist Protestant England In Irrlgat- the bravest and best? Now, be honest with yourselves, dearly-belovod cross your hearts thrco times, and answer don't you really believe that all theso prayers to God put forth by contending murderers aro Just as ridiculous as they are blasphemous; that they placo tho Creator In a degrading light; and that they are an offcmio and an insult to tho gentlo Prince of Peace? And don't you think, also, dearly beloved, that tho only good which could possibly result from this pres ent criminal war would bo If the slaughter would be so awful tho re sultant famine so horriblo that tho universal world would declaro nnd en force tho ultimatum that war shall ho no more; that the battla flags henceforth and forever shall bo furled In "tho Parliament or an, tho Fed era Hon of the World?"
