ALL FROM ‘WITHOUT ? 66™TCHE time has come when we should put an end to the invasion of ‘our country by which later on Eve persuaded Adam to partake of. Certain irreverent critics have tried to show that ‘the forbidden fruit was not the apple; that the Bible men bad no knowledge of the luscious thing we know by that name. Some of the critics claim that the forbidden fruit was the orange, some that it was the citron, while others maintain thal was the quince, although it is quite difficult to understand how Hye, after having had a@ taste of the quince, could possibly have recommended i# to Adam or any one else, Be that as it may, however, ac cording to the ancient record some kind of @ fruit stands at the very front of our human history and is responsible for “all our woe.” The land of the Bible was full of frult—oranges, gitrons, olives. grapes, ” “g tall, handsome chap with a stovepipe hat pushed i back on his head,” who stood beside Walt Whitman ‘on a street corner in Washington and watched Burn- pomegranates, figs, apricots, peaches being the most important of them, These fruits were of such impor- tance that rigid laws existed regard- propagandists of all kinds.” This from Justice Cohalan! ‘ 4 ron The same day the Justice gladdened the ears of _ * a s side's men march past on thelr way to jon Grant | ue Channa-Gael iuman-nacmBan in this | cid Biblical law, all feaity”piamtes in the last year of the Civil War.

Isaiah, speaking of the coming of a great spiritual revival, said: “Israel shall blossom and bud, and it shall fill the face of the land with fruit.” Amos, in vision, heard a voice saying unto him, “Amos, what seest thou?

If this forecast of results from the Miller plan Proves correct, is the Herald prepared to lead in the “squashing” of Gov.

N balk-line billiards Willie Hoppe has held un- disputed pre-eminence for so long and by so wile a margin that it was generally assumed he would stay at the top until age or physical disability handi- capped him and brought him back within reaching distance of the less gifted. Hoppe was regarded as a sort of freak, a “phenom.” The only hope of real competition lay in the rise of another “phenom.” — Billiardists considered this improbable. The season closing has disclosed not a single “phenom” but three. Against the Prohibition Amendment.

Our friend must remember in 1760 King George III. tried to put over the Stamp Act because he was broke. But the Sons of Liberty of those days got the people together and marched down to Bowling Green, surrounded the fort and won out. Now we will not go down to Bowling Green und start a fight like Washington did. Instead we will all chip in a dollar and take the Jong green to Washington, Every dol of Labor what, it condones or approves in other adherents to the same economic theory? hind in the game of industry or achievement there is so much to learn that at times we almost despair of even mak- ing a start. : a It is not the man who knows his business, but the man who knows more about it than his fellows who makes it pay best. And even this man can often learn something about it from those under him, for many minds intent on the same object are far better than one. It is still uncertain who invented the automobile. Had the industry been in the hands of any one man who thought he knew his business it would not have gone very far. But thousands of minds worked at it until it grew to the propor- tions of to-day. z The one man of present times who was surest that he knew his business is now an exile in Holland. He lost a amends this coming election, and possibly a few later elections, but as far as the Sc fare grab is concerned, it will not make any dilference, be- e the dirty work has already acoom plished. 1.0.8 ever, he was captured and kept pris- oner by the French for two years. He finally was exchanged for the Bishop of Quebec, who had fallen into Eng- land’s hands. Gov. Hunter appears to have been constantly at war with the Rev, Wil- liam Vesey of Trinity Church. The Queen's farm was the bone of con- tention, and the clergyman became convinced that Hunter was against hin. He circulated stories, or, at least got the credit for them, that the Governor was not a good churchman, He objected to the Governor's erect~ ing a chapel in the barracks for the soldiers. This was, in the eyes of the head of Trinity, @ move to keep the soldiers from coming to his ser vices.
