"PROPOGANDA OF HYPOCRISY" Tin' following from tho strong Dela
ware Republican Is auotrd without prejudice:
"The fact that Walter P. Pratt, Hill's campaign manager, had charge of tho wot headquarters In the Blng-hamton Press building In the recent local option election, will not be relished very Keenly by the dry element of Hie district, to which Senator 11111 and his friends are appealing strongly for support at tho coming primaries. Air. Pratt lias been making an active canvass through Broomo county endeavoring to obtain candidates for mil Committeemen, in his efforts to control the county for Mill. It's now time for William H. Anderson, State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League to come out with a Statement explaining the motives of Mr. Hill in selecting Pratt for his campaign manager. This whole prohibition propaganda of hypocrisy and deceit, as promulgated by Senator Hill, Is disgusting in the extreme and the moral dishonesty of it is creating a strong sentiment of opposition even among the temperance element of the dis trict."
Very Battering reports are current regarding the favorable reception which is being given to presentation of the petition of Julius E. Rogers for member of congress amongst the farmers. It is not often that a man of such fine qualifications is secured by the farmers to represent them In a high office. Reing a practical farmer himself, he knows the needs of the farmers and it Is up to them to have a man of their own stripe rather than a practical politician for a representative in congress. Delaware county is made up almost wholly of farmers-looking to their own Interests is proper and right. They have the opportunity presented in the candidacy of Julius 10. Rogers—there should be no doubt of the outcome in this community, 1 Delaware Republican.

Patriotic Utterances by a Delhi Preacfe cr Which Appeal to Americans.
We print below n few of the closing words from the sermon of Rev. II. M. Dumboll of Delhi hut Sunday morning on Acts L'7:28:
After predicting that the present war will be tho last between the nations. Mr. Dumboll said: Upon tho Allied nations, through the Inconceivable wickedness of Gerumny, hns fallen the awful tragedy of the world's last, great war.
Hut out of tho evil the greatest good shall cornel
By the life-blood of our nlllcd soldiers shall come the permanent peace of the world. The moral progress of the world. Political, social and religious liberty everywhere.
Uy tho stripes of the Allied fighters —on the battlefield, in the air and on the sea, shall the world ho healed.
Mankind shall at last advance beyond barbarism.
German prisoners taken last week say "Germany is beaten now, but the Kaiser will fight until the last German soldier is dead or taken prisoner." So let it be! Pray God that so it may be.
It is a fearful thing to desire such terrible bloodshed. Yet In that very pugnacity and obstinacy of the German Kaiser lies the hope of the world.
Without the absolute crushing of the Prussian war machine, the world cannot have her new birth of freedom. Without it Germany herself must ro-niain In fetters. An 1 even that cannot be allowed.
Christ said, "He who loseth his life for my sake shall find It." That is as true of nations as it is of men.
And so America has gone out to be a world Saviour. To lose life that she may find it.
When tho iron had entered into the very soul of France, England, Italy, Belgium, then the strong hand of fellowship was extended across the Atlantic and laid gently on the sorrowing heart of the nations in direst need. Lo! The great buildings of America were turned into munitions factories and armories! The broad fields and prairies of the land became the tenting places of hundreds of thousands of soldiers; the homes of luxury saw selfdenial and are now
oven offered as hospital* for Wounded men.
Wo stop at nothing, And that Is why Allied victory Is Inevitable. "No half-way decision conceivable" Do-cause our resources are I he greatest of all In all tho world, And wo aro holding all wo are and all wo have out over the ocean In both hands.
Oh, tho day Is fast coming when even in a prostrate and defeated Germany, war will bo aeon to bo Inhuman deviltry. And If that did not happen, then thero Is In store for tho world the darkest ago It has over seen for the over Increasing destructive Inventions of sclenco will soon bo brought to such perfection that with more wars tho extormnatlon of all mankind must follow.
No more war! It Is impossible! Militarism and civilization arc con
tradictories. After this wnr to the death of mil
itarism Christ shall conquer. "All men are brethren," shall become the world's slogan. International self control under tho world's All-Conqueror (Christ) shall seize upon tho war machines of the nations. And the cry shall go up to the very battlements of Heaven:
Christ reigns! Christ conquers! Christ triumphs! On with the war. On, on to the
death of it. On to tho final victory for righteousness a n d permanent peace.

the death of the great evangelist, and with his special permission. He speaks with the same tone of voice, the same gesture, the same accent and thus re-creates the lectures of Sam Jones.
Those who have heard Sam Jones, say "It's just as Sara said it," or "It's Just as Sam would have said it." Giving to the Sam Jones truths their new application, Mr. Crowl has won a place in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Chautauquans second only to that in which Sam Jones himself was held.
He will deliver the greatest of all the Sam Jones lectures at the Chautauqua, third night, "A Medley of Philosophy, Pacts and Fun.
