Not harms; the price of the robes but sanctioning the actions, you are still guilty. Your flag waving and shouts ofLonr live America" are only empty mockery. And you are breaking-faith. It is arood, of course, to read the Bible, but useless unless we apply its teachings to our every day life.

If we believe certain things we read In the Bud (and It is not for us to choose that which we will believe and that which we will disregard) we must believe all. And to you readers particularly who like to think that your life is guided by the Bible and -still harbor in your heart petty like and hate for any fellow creature, regardless of the reason, I ask you to look therein and find these words: "Whosoever hateth his brother Is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself." And again, "If any man say I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar." You leaders who, for monetary, or political gain. Incite men to hate their fellow creatures for any reason, are guilty of high treason. Think of the mortality of the body and the immortality of the soul; of the shortness of time and the duration of eternity; of heaven where all is love, and eternal damnation where all is hate, and ask yourself if you can afford to shelter and nourish petty dislikes and hates? The answer la, you cannot Those readers -who nave had the good fortune to view Lula Vollmer's "Sun-Up," will remember these undeniably truthful words "as long as there Is hate there will be war, and am long as there is war there can be no peace." Because hate breeds indifference, Irreverence and intolerance, and a host of other undesirable things with all their attendant evils.

However, it is encouraging to know that every one of us can be an important factor in the great movement of world-wide peace merely by Blowing in our heart only love iai our fellow men. Let us begin immediately to apply this principle to our own life and recommend it whole-heartedly to others. Remember the lines of the "In Flanders Fields." "If ye break faith with ns whs die.

OUR "WAR TO END WAR" Editor Beacon Journal: To all readers, greetings! On Nov.

11 last, we celebrated the tenth anniversary of Armistice day. And at 11 o'clock on that memorable occasion as we bowed our water -and goldfish underneath. Door knobs are of crystal and the reception room Is in gold leaf, even to the telephone, and the butlers wear gold uniforms In the master's sleeping room the bed is so arranged mechanically It may be suspended in mid-air and swing to and fro. There is a Chinese room, a Japanese room, a Tahaitian room and one done In the car and crashed into the skull of the driver, world of motordom has waited long for this misadventure, and here it is, as rare, and exceptional in its nature as a hole in one in golf, and almost as unbelievable, if a matter-of-fact coroner had not certified it in his report. It is apparent that in the interest of safety the motor industry did not vacate a year too soon its custom of giving undue stress upon the weight, bulk and general cryptic symbolism of these emblems.

The present year, variety, models of simplicity and grace, are warranted togo through skid, side-swipe or collision without" ira perilling the welfare of an innocent bystander even, much less a driver, The Gas Hazard Twice within a week Beacon Journal dispatches have told of cases in which passengers in inter-city busses have suffered from carbon monoxide gases generated. by the engines of the cars. Some of these passengers were made so-ill that they had to be hurried to hospitals. It is usually those who remain in busses throughout long journeys are the chief sufferers. But there is hardly a city where thousands of short-haul passengers are not subject to the same risk, especially when the transport equipment is old and ought to be a simple matter to guard passengers from this danger.

At least twenty million privately owned cars, in all stages of age and condition, are-kept in operation without their waste gases menacing the lives of their passengers, and as much should be done for those who ride in public cars. A Battle Creek Case The most tragic phase of a robbery case disposed of by a Battle Creek court did not appear in the open record of the court. Present in court was a police officer who as a part of his duty had arrested his own for robbery, and who had been the chief witness against him. It was in having to stand by arid note the court's sentence of the youth to from 15 to 25 years in prison that the father had his most dramatic association with the case. He had saved and struggled to give his boy an education and an honest chance in life, yet here he heard the words that made a barren mockery of all his sacrifices.

The real blow of punishment fell upon the heart of the father who had dreamed and planned so much, and not upon the wanton son who had heen a to his best friend. change in hours of operation only to the point where it would have to cease broadcasting every evening at 10 o'clock. It has, of course, full time during daylight hours. Some evenings in the past it has operated only until just afte-. 10 o'clock, and on others it has operated until midnight The station which has full time on this channel happens to be KGO at California, which Is also owned and operated by the General Electric Co.

The General Electric Co. also has full time on a cleared channel for KOA at Denver.t. Stations in which it is vitally interested, through atock ownership, such as WEAF and WJZ of New York City, also have full time on cleared channels. Several of these other stations did not have cleared channels before the new allocation, so that the net result of the commission's rule is that the General Electric Co. stations will now reach a far greater area and give far better service to a greatly increased number of people than before the new allocation.

As a-matter of fact, except for the period from November, 19J7, to November, 1923, WGY never did have- full time on the channel in controversy, but had to give up one entire evening a week to another station. The time used by this other station, corresponds very closely to the net reduction in time. The commission has provided 40 cleared chanelSj giving 8 to' each of the, five zones, To create any additional cleared channels, means removing anywhere from four' to 10 or more stations of 250 to 1,000 watts for the modernistic manner.

And if' so, what becomes of the Constitution which, if it can be scrapped in that particular, can be frustrated, evaded and broken in every other section of itf The point is so clear it needs no argument to make it. obvious.

Then in plain words this arrest of Ebding is nothing less than one of the autocratic, unauthorized and tyrannical usurpations of power which is going on in officialdom.1 The federal government, now constituting a great bureaucracy, is concerned with nothing so much: as preserving its own" power and authority. Under these bureaus the laws they, are supposed to obey are relaxed or ignored where they may affect the welfare of the ordinary but let some one attack their power and they are ready to-go to any length to stop him. and whether it is done legally or illegally is of small concern to the bureaucrats 'ndio in recent years have become judge, jury, and supreme court i in all matters affecting sacred officialdom. We have forgotten that a president is only a servant of the peqple, and we have come to look upon him with such awe and reverence that it becomes a crime to question any of his acts. In time we shall prob-i ably invest him with divine honors, and let it go at that.

But in the meantime, we should like for the De-' partment of Justice, to tell the American people how it can justify itself in holding this man JCbding in jail? The charge of conspiracy is perfectly ridiculous. The charge of insanity is one with which the federal government has nothing to do. Are we ready to admit that a man must be insane who questions the right of another to hold office, and one is a conspirator who uses the courts of his country to determine right! Indeed, one wonders why the Department of Justice did not also arrest the court that allowed such a suit "to be filed. time we will no doubt get there also. We had hoped that the tyranny of Mitchell Palmer was dead for all time in this republic, but this case is quite as asinine and wholly as tyrannical as anything that illustrious jawsmith and four-flusher ever did.

However low- ly the man may be, or however mistaken in judgment in bringing his suit, this proceeding against him is one of those things that every citizen who. cares for freedom should resent and protest against. We sincerely hope that Attorney General Sargent may see what a false and dangerous step has been taken and will order the release of this man at once. This is the United States of America, with a constitution which gives only -certain powers to the federal government a country where the citizen in the enjoyment of the rights given him is yet superior (o officialdom and bureaucracy and one of those rights is that any man can at any time appeal to its courts for private or public protection. So unless the government is ready to assume any man necessarily crazy or a very dangerous conspirator who through the courts seeks to question an official's right to hold office the government is in this case abolishing a very sacred right of a citizen.

We may in time imitate and even excel Russia in our lofty disregard of the rights of the citizen but the hour has not yet struck when a free people should let such things happen without a vigorous effort to stop them.
