KEEPING ABREAST WITH
NATIONAL NEWS EVENTS
Methodist delegates wired their
• apology to the President of the United
States for the remarks of one of their
Bishops in regard to an alleged beer
party in the White House last Christ-
mas. Tales of beer kegs piled high
in the White House hall, and a hilar-
ious beer drinking party as told by
the Bishop could in no way be found
true. The false attack caused such a
stir that the Methodist delegates im-
mediately met and sent their regrets
for such rumors to the President.
Nev Deal Mounts
As Campaign Issue
Although the November election in
'Texas may not mean much; in most
• of the States of the Union it will be
the deciding point in the coming gov-
ernment program. In these various
•closely contested states the question
has boiled down to that of whether
you are for or against Roosevelt’s
New Deal. The democrats are cer-
tain of a majority, but to carry on in
■the manner desired they are strug-
gling for a two-thirds majority in the
elections which will take place thru-
•out the country on the November
voting day.

For Buying of Votes
Four state employees were charged
with purchasing votes for Long-sup-
ported candidates in the Louisiana
:September elections. -One man was
approached with the offer, it is al-
leged, to use $232 in influencing per-
sons to use false papers furnished
them for voting. To repay the four
men for their efforts in gaining votes
they are supposed to have been prom-
ised $250 per month jobs.

Country Seems Well
Pleased With NRA Change
Business seemed to breathe a sigh
of relief when Johnson left the con-
trol of the NRA to a board picked by
the President. It appears that the
President will play a more important
part in the functioning of the NRA
from this point on out. The govern
ment frankly admitted that reorgan-
ization was needed and reassured big
business that it intended to do the
fair thing by changing the leaders in
hopes that a better arrangement
could be worked out to aid all classes
of workmen. Naturally labor cannot
be given all they ask for, while at the
same time big business will have to
stick to ethical means of conducting
business.

EDUCATION
Education is the development and
training of the mind of the youth.
There has been a great change in
our education and the education of
the past. We have better trained in-
structors and better equipment in our
modern schools. The schools of today
have increased greatly because there
has been an increase in the courses
offered that prepare for the practical
side of life. Education is being em-
phasized more and surely' everyone
should be trained while the mind is
young in order that the impressions
will last.
Parents should advise the child to
go to school and encourage the men-
tal and physical training as well as
the moral and spiritual side.
Everyone seems interested in school
work so therefore all of the pupils
should co-operate with the instructors
and make this one of the most suc-
cessful school years.
Let each of us strive to get an edu-
cation while the opportunity is ours.

A PROUD UNIFORM
Boson Transcript: During the late
general conference in London of the
Salvation Army, rumors got abroad
that the question of changing the
Sallies’ uniform was under consid-
eration. Might not the poke bonnet be
made less pokey? Was the wearing
of silk stockings necessarily a sign
of worldliness? The answer was evi-
dently disheartening to the reform-
ers, for Commander Evangeline Booth
announces that the army’s uniform,
poke bonnet, cotton stockings and all,
shall remain as it ‘has been since its
adoption half a century or more ago.
Many friends of the Salvation Army
feel that this is a wise decision. The
great work of the organization in ev-
ery corner of the world has become
identified with the uniform. Like the
garb of the Sisters of Charity, it is
the symbol of all that Christianity
stands for in its appeal to our poor
humanity. The voices of skepticism, of
scoffing, become as tinkling cymbals
when we turn our eyes to the Salva-
tion Army’s uniform and think of the
good its wearers have done among
the poor and sick in the slums of great
cities, back of the firing lines of ar-
mies, in the midst of strange peoples
who speak in unfamiliar tongues and
worship unknown gods. We should
not like to see the uniform of the
Salvation Army modernized by the
lopping off of a single strand of straw
braid from the bonnet or by any other
deferential gesture to the gods of
fashion. In its work the Salvation
Army is as old and as fresh as the |
Gospel itself; as thoroughly abreast j
of the times as fhe ever new, ever]

France Has Had Total
Of 722,866 Divorces
Legal divorce in France has been per-
mitted for fifty years, and in that
time- 722,866 divorces have been
granted. In the early days of divorce
the number granted averaged be-
tween 2,000 and 4,000, but rapidly in-
creased until it reached a total of
16,000 annually just before the world
war. During the war the number was
greatly reduced. Since the war, how-
ever, there has been a steady increase
to a total of 28,505 in 1928, the record
year.

service. Major General George A.
White, commanding general of the
41st division and adjutant general of
Oregon, in an official letter to Ser-
geant Lewis, stated:
“Upon this occasion of your retire-
ment from active service in the United
States Army I wish to extend to you
my heartiest congratulations and rec-
ommendations upon your splendid rec-
ord of service and achievement as a
soldier.”
Brigadier General Thomas E. Rilea,
commanding general, 82nd brigade
“At the time Sergeant Lewis was de-
tailed to the Oregon national guard
there was only one battery of field
artillery, but this small field for his
activities received conscientious at-
tention and interest from him that a
larger organization would be expect-
ed to inspire, and this attitude marked
his service year in and year out as
his duties increased.”
Lieut. Colonel William D. Jackson,
commanding officer, 218th field artil-
lery, speaking of Sergeant Lewis’ re-
tirement, stated: “Sergeant Lewis has
demonstrated devotion to duty, high
sense of loyalty and sincercity of pur-
pose, and places him, in my opinion,
as one of the outstanding characters
of the military service.”
Major Kendall D. Dufur, command-
ing officer, 2nd battalion, 218th field
artillery; Major Herbert W. Smith
commanding officer, 2nd battalion
218th field artillery; and Captain I. B.
Warner, regular army instructor to
the 218th field artillery, joined in the
praise.
Final evidence of the respect and
esteem in which Lewis has been held
by his military associates are the
many official and private honors that
are being paid him upon retirement,
particularly the special drill and cer-
emony of the 1100 troops of Multno-
