Freedom, special privilege, exemption, immunity, per mission these are some of the terms uted; with some it means license unreotrained liberty to do as you please. In connection with our les son, liberty is bounded by the Law of Love. Paul had to make this clear, understandable,, to those who had been converted out of Judaism to Christ, and some of them continued to tarry into their Christian life the legal traditions which attached to the law of the old dispensation, the ceremonial lav.-. Others had found in Christ r.n entirely new life, with a new law written in their hearts; and a complete emancipation from the j bondage of this complicated and ex acting cede, teaching the minute de tails of daily life. The question arose as to how Christians or such different temperaments should live together, so that neither group should suffer harm or have their faith destroyed. Here are no doctrinal questions in volved, only details of daily life. In the first place, v.c find the lundamen tal principle, that we must not pass Judgment on another's acts. In the next plsce, the true Christian passes judgment upon his own conduct, from the stand-point of the well being of his brethren. "The one is self-centered, dogmatic, ignorant and often unjust. The other is love-centered, Eelf-denying, intelligent, and alwpys merciful." (O. Campbell Morgan.) "Nothing is unclean of itself." That is, it does not Lave, in itelf, quali ties making it unclean, but is often po declared by ceremonial law. But what ?sut cur conscience? Is it an Infallible fiuide? No! Conscience is subject to training and moulding hence not always a true guide to fol low. Here follows a declaration of the principles that guide these Mho have accepted the rulei that govern in the Kingdom of Gcd. They con sist not in the observance of what we cat or drink, but are (1) Righteous ness, that 's, man must come first in the right relationship with God sins forgiven, the record of the old life destroyed, washed in the blood of the Lamb (Rev. 1:5), adopted into the family of God's children (John 1:12). (2) Peace with God that follows when the enmity removed, peace establish ed, harmony restored (See Eph. 2:14 18). (3) Joy In the Holy Ghost irj the sealing of our acceptance by Jesi3 Christ and the establishment of peace and harmony with God. Where these j principles , rule in the heart, there! will also the proper conduct be cb - MUST FACE A FIRING SQUAD Salt Lake City. The first man scheduled to face a Utah state prison firing squad In nearly a decade lost his final chance to evade the execu tioners' bullets when the state board of pardons denied Delbert Green's plea for a commutation of sentence. According to schedule, Green will meet the bullets of the firing squad behind the state penitentiary walls here at daybreak June 26. His attor neys had based their latest plea be fore fne pardons board on the claim that Green was a victim of hereditary insanity. In Utah a convicted per son may choose between hanging and shooting as a means of his own execution. Green chose to face the firing squad. LIQUOR SHIPPERS PUNISHED Kansas City. Federal Judge Otis sentenced four men for conspiracy to ship liquor from Missouri into Kan sas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. The four under indictment, Gordon. A. Smith, A. Franklin Smith. Juliura Peycke and Adam Baudo, all entered pleas of nolle contendere. The Smiths were given six months each in jail and fined $2,500 each. Peycke was fined $1,000, and Baudo was sentenced to three months in jail and fined $1,000. "Soa It before you buy It." Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Hurdock. Neb. JCI CM III 111 u UiCklllCll liictvuui, wv- erant, patient, not harsh, unjust, in tolerant. For: the weaker brother's sake, he says: "Better that my body should suffer, than his soul." Where the above principles govern, all will "follow after the thing-3 which mke for peace . . . and edify one another," which means to build up, to mako strong. Either we build up or we tear down. The law of love compels me as a Christian, to deny jnyself things that may not be harm ful to me, but to a weak young Christian. Coming to the temperance part of the lesson, Paul, who was constrain ed by the love of Chri3t, would for a weak young brother's sake, forego the rest of his life, to not "eat flesh forevermore" than to cause him to stumble or take offense. Never before has the liquor ques tion puzzled our nation like today. The harm it does is recognized, also the fact that it i3 uncontrolable it always ha3 and will defy any law; still legislatures try to find a way to minimize the hsrni it will do. What a futile and senseless endeavor! We kill a mad dog; we do not tell him he tnust not bite children under 21 years, nor bite anyone before S a. m., nor alter S p. m., ncr on election day or Sunday, neither an eld toper, and that when turned loose he may hurt any not forbidden by law but we have to charge him for the privilege tf destroying human being3, because we need "revenue." O! Church of God! Wake up! Help to destroy this demon before our children fall a prey to him! . Why doe3 God's Holy word so ve hemently expostulate against drun ken necs? And why do Christians do so little to destroy this demon? ir every cnnstian would take a stand like Paul in "not eating flesh evermore" in order to save a soul from stumbling or falling, there would not be any liquor question in America. Common sense showa us the ralocn producei nothing good; is a recognized menace to the human race nothing else will use the vile stuff it sells. Let every lover of man rise up and help to destroy the evil thing, for it is not fit that it should live. God wills it! May we by example and precept chow the wcrld that the laws of love can and will work for the good of mankind, thst "Love-never falleth;" it will find a way to conquer this demon (liquor) and make the world a better place to live in. "Tench not, tzzte not, handle not." (Col. 2:20). "Dare to be a Daniel" ar.d G?d will prosper you! Council Votes Its Approval of Two Applicants Fred H. Sb.arpn.ack and Henry J. Donat Receive Approval ; Discuss Saturday's Tax Sale. From Tuesday' Pally The city council at their regular session last evening advanced one step farther the matter of package liquor sales in the city when the city legislative body gave approval to the applications of Fred H. Sharpnack andv Henry J. Donat to operate the two stores that were fixed as the number to be allowed here. The license committee through Chairman Rebal reported that there had been four applications received, that in the opinion of the committee all were qualified to operate the pack age stores but desired the council as a whole to make the selections. A written ballot was taken and which disclosed that Sharpnack had 8; Donat, 7; L. W. Egenberger, 4 and William Sweenle, 1. As two of the councilmen had voted separately for the applicants, a second tally was or dered. The second ballot disclosed Sharpnack, 8; Donat, 7; Egenberger, 4 and Sweenie, 1. It was then moved that the city approve the applications of Mr. Sharpnack and Mr. Donat to the state liquor commission and which carried by the unanimous vote of the council and the clerk Instructed to forward the applications at once to Lincoln. The report of Chief O. Sandin of the fire department was received and which showed that there had been nine fires in the city since January 20th. This was placed on file. Chairman Webb of the claims committee requested that the judi ciary committee in conjunction with tha special attorney in charge of tax saies. prepare to investigate any at tempted by-bidding on tax sales by the delinquent owners and to fully protect the tax rights of the city. Mr. Webb also moved that the fi nance commitee and the mayor rep resent the city at the tax sale to see that the tax interest of the city was fully protected. The claim of the Plattsmouth fire department for $225 occupation ta of fire insurance companies was re ported as correct ami Ordered paid. John Bauer was present and asked to address the council and which was granted. Mr. Bauer stated that in the years past he had paid taxes on the property at 7th and Main streets seventy per cent in excess of that assessed against the properties on the north side of the street and that also on his residence property he had paid a larger percentage of tax than rssessed against other and more elab orate homes in the same section. That he had been negligent in not appearing before the board of equal ization of the county was acknowl edged by the speaker, but he urged that some consideration be given the large amounts and the excessive tax that he had paid. Mr. Webb stated that all sym pathized with Mr. Bauer and that he L. undoubtedly paid a much larger sum than others but that the city had no recourse after the failure to appear before the board of equaliz ation and make protest. Chairman Tippens of the streets, alleys and bridges committee, report ed that most of the heavy road re pair work had been finished but that the rain had caused a great deal of washing and the necessity of much labor to get the roads in shape. The license committee reported that the application of R. W. Wasley for a beer license had been approved and bond supplied and recommended that the same be granted and which was carried in form, as was also the application and bond of Adolph Gelse for an "on sale" license. An "off sale" application for beer was received from George Conis and re ferred to the committee as was also that of Edward Donat, Sr., for an "on sale" beer license, the commit tee to report at the next regular ses sion. Chairman Vroman of the fire and water commitee reported that his committee had a conference with the local officers or the Plattsmouth Wa ter Corporation and that a letter had been read from the headquarters of the company in Maine and in which a cut hydrant rental was offered if the loss might be made Up else where. There had been no agreement and further time was requested by the members of the committee and which was granted. Chairman Brittain of the cemetery committee reported that City Attor ney J. H. Davis had a conference with the board of county commis sioners relative to the closing of the road just south of the cemetery and to convert it to cemetery purposes. The commissioners stated that tha closing of the road would require the petition of residents within two miles of the road, also that the coun ty had originally paid $600 for the roadway and the land was taken from the Wiles farm, under which conditions In case the road was aban doned that the land would revert to the original owner. Chairman Tippens stated that there was a bad section of roadway in the new cemetery and that it should be graveled and accordingly It was ordered that tlds be secured and ready for the next meeting. Chairman C. D. Palmer of the lighting committee reported that the electroliers were all painted now and also that one globe on an electrolier had been unavoidably broken and which would be replaced. Ordinance No. 714 was placed on its first reading, this ordinance be ing for the vacation of Spring street from Main street to the south line of Vine street. This street is also known as 16th street and the portion to be vacated has never been used as a roadway. The ordinance was placed on the second and third reading and passed. There was considerable discussion of the weed question and the mayor instructed the chief of police to per sonally notify all property owners to cut the weed3 to the curb line and that the city if necessary cut the same and charge to the property. Councilman Rebal called attention to a number of bad places where weeds grew rank and particularly at Chi cago avenue and Marble streets. Councilman Bestor stated that the new law gave - the police judge a salary and he asked that the judi ciary committee and the city attor ney present one for the next meet ing. The following claims were ordered paid by the finance committee: Platts. Journal, printing $115.31 .Drive far -- r r On July 4th or week-end and vacation trips, you'll want to drive far and get there in a hurry. And you don't want that nagging worry of "I wonder if this speed and heat will hurt anything in my motor." You can't always be sure when you use plain mineral oils, for they have little film strength and oils over-refined by new cleansing processes have even less. Moreover, as motor heat goes up, these oils rapidly lose film strength. Film strength is the load-carrying ability of an oil, the quality that keeps bearings and cylinders from wearing out Lack of film strength results in costly damage. You can drive without a worry when you use Conoco Germ Processed Mo tor Oil! It has 2 to 4 times greater film strength than any plain mineral oil. Heat does not lessen this advantage. .

MAKING DRIVE UPON BUCKET SHOPS Washington, June 25. Declaring that a nation-wide ring of chain bucketshop swindlers is mulcting the public of "millions," Attorney Gen eral Cummlngs made a plea today for public co-operation to wipe out the "racketeers." Evidence collected by the Justice department, points to bucketshop headquarters in New York and Chi cago. "We know the names of the lead ers," Cummlngs said, "but it will take co-operation of both the public and legitimate brokers to put them where they belong behind the bars of a federal prison.
