But prohibition as applied to habits is not a principle.

or rule that can be enacted into for mass application or mass enforcement. It must be applied individually, every person to or for himself or herself. The reason that is true, is that in our individual creaton God endowed us each and every one with the right of private judgment, and no person has the right or power to compel or force any other man or person to think or act as they may think or act. After endowing man with that right of private judgment even God himself could not compel man to accept his judgment and still permit man to remain man. Yes God could overpower man's judg ment, but the moment he did so, man would cease to 'be man and become like any other animal and his estate of manhood would be gone.

When man as an individual adopts prohibition as a principle of his life he does not adopt it to be applied to the life of his neighbor; it is to be applied to his own life. His neighbor has an inalienable right to rule his own life, and no person on earth has any right whatever to invade or overthrow that God-given right; or to coerce by force, of even law or. compel by the use of autocratic or other power, any change of his neighbor's judgment. That being case, as it undoubtedly is, you doubtless are wondering what legitimate agencies or powers can be used to restrain the evil judgment of men or people and cultivate what we term the good. Two of the most powerful and universally safe powers or agencies for this use placed within the reach of man, for the overcoming of evil and the establishment of truth and right, have been ordained by the Eternai Father-Creator; they are MORAL SUA SION and EDUCATION.

While God endowed us with the right of private judgment he also equipped us with reason and spiritual discernment by which we are to, meet every circumstance and proposal of life and settle it by argument and persuasion and win to the side of our judgment those whom we consider to be in 1 the wrong; or, be won to the side of those whose judgment is revealed to be more, correct, or superior to ours. It is as much an obligation on us to be won by superior or more accurate judgment and to defer to the same, as it is to insist on the acceptance of our judgment if it be correct and superior. This reason, spiritual discernment and superior judgment is the most powerful of agencies in dealing with the world--more powerful indeed than any force, law or compulsion man can employ to promulgate his ideas and enforce them on the world. Think of Jesus: He had no visible government, or government of man; no visible authority of law, no great army, or navy back of him when he set up his kingdom. Nothing of power nobody but a few fisher folks.

But in' about two centuries the pagan empire of Rome was swept from paganism and a christian government was established. It was not by might, nor by power but my Spirit saith So it is always when the borders which God has placed within the reach of man are used. The state of christianity and civilization is a perfect demonstration of the truth of that state-' ment. The more man has depended upon God and used the powers he committed to man the more has been. The world also demonstrates in its history the fact that civilization set up and established by force and maintained by blind and unreasoning compulsion of law or force has never proven to be permanently successful and satisfactory.

In the matter of education, think of what the verbal system of education has done for the permanency the Hebrew race and their religion. Think what education has done in the accomplishment of the high aims of this and other countries. If it had been more perfectly applied the results wonld have been far greater. Within these two principles we have mighty forces for the establishment of a kind of prohibition that will help to rid our country of the awful conditions which now curse it. Shall we apply these two principles to our conditions? Judge R.

H. Hamilton of Amarillo, Texas, prominent in legal and church circles in Texas, has yet quite considerable to learn about human society. Young Tow Walton, Jr, entered the Judges office some days ago to confess that he and the Judge's daughter, Theresa, had been married and ask the Judge's forgiveness and blessing. The Judge immediately drew a revolver and shot the young man to death stating he did it "to protect my family." He has yet to learn that the violation of the law a- gainst murder is no way to protect his family, and he may have to learn! it hanging at the end of a rope, or sitting in the electric chair. In any event he will learn it from the punishment he will have to undergo, even if it is just the lashings of conscience.

GET A FLAG FRIDAY 1929 Havana "Red Sox" Baseball Club of Havana, Cuba Its Everyone of This Group of Foreigners Garanteed To Appear at Clarion on Thursday, June 20: Left to right-Hernandez, o. Lamuza, Williams, Collazzo, if; Tian, Cueria, o. Ferrer, i. Ramirez, o. Bauza, S.

Massip, Salada, Brown, Echegoyen, i. and Dixon Arrangements have been completed for the appearance of the famous and original Havana Red Sox ball club at the Normal Baseball park, Clarion on Thursday, June 20 for a game with the Clarion Red Sox. The Havana Red Sox, greatest assembly of Cuban stars ever brought to America, are known throughout the country as the fastest and most spectacular ball club to ever set foot on American soil. They opened their season at Miami, Florida early in the month of March, after a winter campaign in Cuba, and barnstormed the South gradually working their way to WORLD WAR SETTLED Achievement Of Owen D. Young Paris, June -The expert's report, liquidating the long controversial reparations problem that has troubled the peace of Europe for the past 10 years, was signed at the Hotel George V.

today. The signature to the historic document which fixes the payments that Germany must make to the Allied creditors for the next 59 years were affixed at 5:501 p. m. (11:50 a. eastern standard time).

By the settlement, the German experts gave their approval to the annuities suggested by Owen D. Young, American financier expert. With the four months negotiations, that at times threatened to break down now definitely settled, the next step was up to the governments involved, ratification of the experts' recommendations being necessary as well as complete plans for working out the details. The report recommends reduction of the reparations annuities during the next 37 years from 2,500,000,000 gold marks (approximately $600,000,000) to an average fo 2,050,000,000 gold marks (approximately It recommends annuities of 000,000 gold marks (approximately $480,000,000) for the last 22 years sub. ject to the profits of the international bank to be created under the reparations agreement and an arrangement for amortization in which the creditor powers will participate.

The report dwells upon the following advantages: Deceasing the burden for Germany. Taking of the reparations question out of politics. Putting it into an organization of orderly business. Elimination of outside organizations that exercise a control in Germany. Early mobilization of a considerable part of the first 37 annuities to give the creditor powers important sums available for the reduction of their own interior departments.

The annuities are divisible into post ponable and non-postponable parts, but there is no distinction in the report between the part of the annuities applicable to reparations and the part attributed to payments of the creditors war debt. From now until 1989 Germany, by the terms of the agreement, must hand over to her creditors in money and goods almost 100,000,000,000 marks or nearly. $24,000,000,000. The plan signed will bear Young's name. It will replace the Dawes plan.

It was signed by financiers from the United States, Great Britian, France, Belgium, Italy, Japan and Germany. The delegates signed in alphabetical order. Germany (Allemagne) was the first to sign the French text, and Belgium the first to sign the English text. It was February 11 when the conference to settle the reparations problem began its labors. Delegates of the six creditor nations, and their debtor, Germany, affixed their signatures while cameras clicked and instruments caught scratching of the pens.

sound The document was designed to liquidate the world war by the end of the year 1989, 75 years after it began.
