4 THE BEE: QMAHA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1916, ARCHBISHOP HARTY WON LOYEAND HONOR New Prelate Who is Coming from Philippines to Omaha is Most Highly Praised. HIS SUCESSOE IS NAMED Archbishop Jeremiah J. Harty, who is to be installed at the new Omaha cathedral, is leaving the Phillipine Islands with a wealth of encomiums. The "Manila Times," the leading daily in the New York of the islands, prints a stirring eulogy of the archbishop in its editorial columns and acknowl edges with deep appreciation the good work the American churchman has done. Bishop O'Daugherty, formerly sta tioned in Jaro, P. I., has been ap pointed successor to Archbishop Harty, according to word received in Omaha. The bishop was formerly president of Salamanca college in Spam and, since his residence in the Phillipines has been active in civic as well as religious matters. Following is the editorial article from the Manila Times: "The official announcement of the impending departure from tbse islands of the archbishop bf Manila, the Very Rev. Jeremiah J. Harty, does no more than confirm the story current for some time past, but it makes permissible and appropriate an expression of the deep regret with which in this city and throughout the Phillipines men and women of all nationalities and all creeds will say farewell to a familiar and well-loved figure." 1 A Leading American. "For more than thirteen years Archbishop Harty has been the high est representative of the Roman Catholic church in the Phillipines, years in which national growth has been marked by changes of immense importance and aignificance. By force of character as much as by ac cident of position, the archbishop has been a leader in the work that has been done. His share in the general achievement has been so considerable as to place him high in the ranks of the distinguished Americans who have given service here. ' Forceful Character. "Wlien Archbishop Harty came to Manila, the church had need of such a man as he proved to be. The rare anion in him of tenderness and strength, the unfailing appeal of a personality of singular charm, won him not alone the deep respect of those with whom he came in contact, but quickened that respect to the . warm glow of affection. In a very real sense the archbishop has repre sented his church, for he has typified it) broad humanity, its unwearied and unshaken faith in an ideal, and its wise understanding that 'we are neither children nor gods, but men in a world of men.' He reaves behind him a name of singular aweet savor' and if he should care to think of this matter he may take' with him the consciousness that he has won love and honor among the people to whom thirteen peara ago he was sent to Subway Between Omaha and Bluffs is Suggested as Feasible Bridge Matter is Still Up in the Air and Tunnel is Now Talked as Substitute. SUGGESTION OF BEETSCHY Why not a subway between Omaha and Council Bluffs? A. J. P. Bertschy, president of th? ISertschy Garage company, is draw ing a sketch and making an estimate of the cost of a tunnel between Omaha and Council Bluffs passing under the river instead of a bridge to pass over it. Mr. Bertschy came forward with the suggestion right out of a clear sky. He wrote a brief letter with considerable point to it to Commis sioner Manley of the Commercial club. Here is what he said: "What has become of the free bridge scheme over the Missouri river between Omaha and Council Bluffs? "Why build a bridge at all? "Why not a tunnel? "The first cost , of a tunnel would exhibit at the Cement show. Prac tically one-half of the space in the Auditorium was already reserved for this convention by the close of the convention and show last year. tember. On September 28 the county allowed claims of J,45, but rejected a balance of $2,930.60.

SHE DARKENED HER GRAYJAIR A Kansas City Lady Darkened Her Cray Hair and Stimulated Iti Growth by a Simple Horn Process. She Tells How She Did It A welt-known resident of Kansas City, Mo., who darkened her gray hair by a simple home process, made the following Btatement: "Any lady or ?;entleman "can darken their gray or aded hair, stimulate its growth and make it soft and glossy with this aim pie recipe, which they can mix at home.

' Peeved pedestrians do not make this suggestion. It comes from the Omaha Automobile club and is set in bold type right on the frontispiece of their monthly magazine, so that "he who runs may read." "A jail sentence is the only ef fective remedy which will stop speed ing and reckless driving," reads the boomerang.

Mr. Peterson of San Francisco relates his expe rience briefly and happily: July 26, 1916. Gentlemen: I have used four bottles of your S. S. S. for bad blbod and blotches on the face, and- wish, to state the blotches have disappeared and I feel ' much better. Yours truly, E. A. PETERSON, 25 College Terrace, San Francisco, Cal. Mr. Peterson made a practi cal move when he used S. S. S.' for his troubles, for only in S. S. S. could he find purely vegetable roots and herbs prop erly blended and containing iust those qualities his blood so iadly needed to assist it in driving out the impurities and rebuilding its vitality. As these facts apply to Mr. Peterson, they apply to anybody who is afflicted with blood disorders. You won't find S. S. S. a "cure-for-all" medicine. It has a distinct mission to perform as a blood purifier and tonic. It assists Nature in bringing healthy conditions out of dis ordered blood, which if not cor rected may take the form of Rheumatism, Catarrh, Malaria, Eczema, Scrofula or one of the many kinds of skin diseases. The fifty years successful rec ord of S. S. S. stands as a monu ment to its merit. You may be in doubt just what your trouble is. in which case you are offered the serv ice of our blood specialist Consult him fully and you will be properly directed as to treatment, without charge. But beware of minerals. Get S. S. S.' at any drug store. Demand the genuine. It is purely vegetable. $l,OOQ.0O is offered for proof that S. S. S. contains any minerals.

Mackay, Rector of All Saints' Episcopal Church, Omaha, Warns the People Against the False Prophet of Prohibition, as Follow: H v We are in the midst of a political campaign where there is an effort H being made to line up the Christian people of our State on the side of a U political party called "Prohibitionist." Our Protestant churches are be ta ine whipped into obedience to the dictates and principles of this party, and the sacred cause of religion is. identified with a question which is purely political. We have the strange spectacle of a Church which was founded on "Personal Liberty" demanding as a condition of active mem bership that its members cast their ballots in accordance with the view of a few political agitators, whose activity is based on the salary they draw, not because they are filled with the spirit of the real reformer. I appeal to you as Christians to beware of such leaders. The history of the past warns us that all attempts to unite the Church and the State on any question must prove disastro"s to the Church. If there is any one truth we of America have imbibed from our forefathers, it is the necessity v of keeping apart from all entangling alliances with the powers that be. You are to determine by your vote next November whether your fel low citizens shall, or shall not, have the privilege of using, as they shall deem best for themselves, intoxicating liquors. As Christians who are taught thai "Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty," you are asked to interfere with the personal habits of thousands of your fellow citizens, who are entitled to the same freedom that you enjoy. You may not agree with these men, but does that difference of opinion entitle you to persecute them? We cannot adopt the rules or opinions of other men any more than we can wear their clothes, and it would be as unchristian for us to compel our fellow men to eat and drink as we do as for Quakers to compel all men to wear their peculiar garb. There are thousands of our fellow citizens who insist upon identify ing the Lord's Day with the Jewish Sabbath. Will you ask the legis lature to deprive them of their liberty, and compel these people to give up the observance of their own Christian Day of Rest? As Saint Paul said to his Galatian converts: "Oh, foolish Galatians, who hath be witched you? How is it that you are turning back again to the weak and beggarly elements to which you are wanting to become slaves a second time,? I am afraid of you lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain." And then he adds: "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free." To Saint Paul there was a Christian liberty which was above all law. He would not misuse his liberty, but he could advise Timothy, "Do not continue to drink nothing but water, but take ' a little wine on account of the weakness of your stomach and your frequent ail ments." ' A new power had come into the world, and what the law could not do, the spirit of Love could do. The Christian was to be superior to Law because a higher power the power of Love had come over him. "They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh and the lusts thereof." We cannot think of Saint Paul calling upon the legislature to correct the evils of his day. He advises his converts Ephesians v, 18: "Do not drink wine to excess, for that leads to profligacy," evidently it was not grape juice he refers to "but seek to be filled with God's Spirit." He also specifies the acts of the flesh, such as "unchastity, impurity, inde cency, idolatry, sorcery, quarrels, strife, jealousy, outbursts of passion, acts of rivalry, dissensions, divisions, feelings of envy, drunkenness, revelry and the like.'.' He contrasts with these the opposite virtues, con trasting "drunkenness" with "self-control," declaring that "against such things was no "law." : Saint Paul as a Christian distinguished between the use and abuse of all of God's gifts. Wine was good; but the excessive use of wine led ' to profligacy. "Self-control" or Temperance was therefore to be prac ticed.. But with the present program enforced, there will be no Tem perance, for with the absence of temptation, the virtue of "sobriety" will have vanished. If the sin of drunkenness is abolished by law, what will become of its opposite virtue, Temperance? The inmates of our penitentiaries are temperate, virtuous, honest men, so far as outward appearance go, but who would dream of calling them "honest," or "virtuous," or "temper ate?" Man is made for freedom, not slavery. He cannot be raised in a monastery or kept in a penitentiary. He must have freedom, and it is only by contact with the powers of evil that he can ever arise to the stat ure of the perfect manChrist Jesus, our Lord. Temperance, as preached in the Scriptures, is not prohibition ! Why should these advocates of prohibition single out the one sin of "drunken ness" from among Saint Paul's catalogue of sins? Why not legislate against "fornication and impurity, and strife, and jealousy?" These are, in Saint Paul's judgment, just as weighty sins as drunkenness! I have made a study of Scripture all my life, but I fail to find in the Bible any support for the modern political dogma of "Prohibition." Our churches are being used merely as catspaws to forward a politi cal movement, and keep up the excitement which was once furnished by the old-time revivals of religion. There is evidently no live issue before them. I am speaking to Christian men, and to men who should know that any, alliance with any political party on the part of the Church must surely prove disastrous; and also that any attempt on the part of any church to pass laws which will prove obnoxious to a large majority of our citizens will sink the Church lower and lower in the eyes of all liberty loving, honest men. The government of the United States is "a government of the- peo ple, by the people, and for the people," and no class of citizens should guard against any encroachment upon that principle with more jealousy than the Christian churches of our land. ' I believe in full and complete restriction of all evils. We have laws enough on our statute books to make our grand State a model temper ance State. Will you undo all the temperance work of the past by de manding, as Christians, the enactment of a law which can only bring us into contempt? Will you admit by yom; vote next November that the Church of the living1 God is unable to cope with one sin the sin of In temperance? Will you sell your birthright of Christian liberty for a mess of pottage ? When you invoke the power of the Law, you are deserting the teaching and example of Jesus Christ and His Apostles, and denying the power of God unto salvation. If we must call on the law to save us from our sins, let us close our churches and make the legislature our God. If the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a failure, and the advocates of Pro hibition admit that it is, let us cease calling upon Christ in our churches, and appeal to the great majesty of the Law to save us from our sins.
