TALK STIRS DiSCORD
Every thoughtful person must be
impressed time and again with* the
pernicious effects of loose talking
and writing. Perhaps half of the
enmities and antagonisms which be
set the world might be traced di
rectly to irresponsible and vicious
talk.
Not only does it affect individuals,
making enemies of people who ought
to be friends, but it is productive
of discord and even war among na
tions.
In the present unsettled and deli
cate state of world affairs a great
injury to the interests of peace is
being done by intemperate utter
ances of psudo-statesmen, who reck
lessly disregard the views and sen
sibilities of other nations in order
to impress home people with an ex
aggerated idea of their own patriot
ism. The United States has its full
share of these jingoes, who would
imperil our international relations
for the sake of popular applause and
votes.
Too many of our newspapers il
lustrate the same tendency, through
irritating editorial expressions which
cause unfavorable reactions when
reprinted in foreign countries and
make the task of our diplomats in
creasingly difficult.
It goes without saying that we
should always be found ready and
willing to take a firm stand wher
ever our real interests are at stake,
but this may be dofie in a sane and
dignified manner without resorting
to unnecessarily offensive tactics.
Statesmen and nationals of all
countries might contribute measur
ably to :h„ caus! of p >ace by re
fraining from violent and ill-con
sidered outbursts that tend to ag
gravate an already difficult problem.
SAVE OUR TREES
Forest fires which disastrously de
plete our growing stock of building
material, and this applies to Alaska
as wTell as the rest of the United
States, by millions of dollars each
year are largely due to the careless
ness of campers, tourists, vacation
ists and homesteaders as well as log
gers and railroads. A match or cig
arette but dropped in dry leaves or
mould or a camp fire left burning
may be fanned by the wind and be
come a devastating conflagration. It
takes over fifty years to grow some
kinds of trees, others two hundred
years, yet a vast forest can be des
troyed by fire in a few hours.
Therefore, constant application of
carefulness while in timber-land is a
paramount duty of every citizen.

IOTA CHANGED CREED
Sometimes the expression “not one
iota of difference” is heard, meaning
that the difference between the things
mentioned is negligible or of no im
portance. Few probably know, how
ever, that the difference of “one iota”
changed the entire significance of the
Christian religion.
The word “iota” is the name of the
Greek letter corresponding to the Eng
lish “i.” In formulating a Christian
creed, differences arose as to whether
the Greek word “homoiousion” or “ho
moosiou” should be used in describ
ing the relationship of Christ to the
Father, the former indicating that
Christ was of “like” substance, while
the latter denoted “one” substance
with the Father.
This difference of only one letter
caused a serious division in the early
church, which led to a decision of the
first ecumenical council at Nicea, in
325, adopting the version “one sub
stance with the Father” as a part of
the Nicene Creed. Thus the drop
ping of one letter 1600 years ago
changed one of the important dogmas
of the Christian faith.
Since that time numerous changes
in the creed have been made by gen
eral councils of the Catholic Church.
The original Nicene Creed adopted in
325 is translated into English as fol
lows:
“We believe in on^g([3od, the Father
Almighty, Maker of all things, visible
and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, begotten of
the Father, His only begotten, that is,
of the substance of the Father; God
of God, Light of Light, Very God of
Very God; Begotten, not made, being
of one substance with the Father, by
Whom all things were made, both the
things in Heaven and the things on
Earth; Who for the sake of us men,
and for our salvation, came down
from heaven and was incarnate, and
was made man; Who suffered, and
rose again the third day, and ascend
ed into the heavens, and is to come
again to judge the quick and the dead.
And in the Holy Ghost.”
The so-called Apostles’ Creed in its
present form appears to have been
unknown until 700 or 800 years af
ter Christ.

GREAT SUSPENSE IN
NEW MYSTERY DRAMA
To those who like mystery in their
dramatic entertainment, a treat is
promised tonight when “The Girl on
the Stairs,” the latest Elmer Harris
Production in which Patsy Ruth Mil
ler is starred, is given its first show
ing at the Liberty theatre.
Briefly the story centers around a
sleep walking girl. One night, during
one of her somnambulistic strolls, a
murder is committed in the house
which adjoins her home. Just before
the discovery of the body of the mur
dered man she is seen descending the
stairs from his bed chamber. As a
motive for the killing, a packet of
love letters written by the girl dur
ing her school days is found in the
man’s room. Added to all this evi
dence, her footprint is discovered on
the knife with which the murder was
committed. Her guilt seems certain
and it is not until the last reel that the
mystery is unravelled.
Harris has surrounded Miss Miller
with an imposing array of talent in
cluded in which are Niles Welch, Ar
line Pretty, Shannon Day, Michael
Dark and several others.

Mrs. Albert Selhaver, 1114, W.
North St., Bellingham, Wash., says:
"I was all run down and suffered from
kidney disorder. I had terrible pains
in the small of my back and I could
n’t get up without help. At times
when I got down I was unable to
move. My kidneys acted too often
and my feet bloated so badly that I
couldn’t wear my shoes. Doan’s
Pills cured me of the attack and
made ipy -kidneys well. The bloat
ing went down, too.”
