Commercial Charleston is rejoicing

In fact, CharHston's export rate
will be ona parity with those of Nor

cession for which the business men of
the port of Charleston have been striv
ing for years. The meaning of this
new deal for Charleston is thus ex
plained by the News and Courier:

ticed that the Norfolk parity in rateB

As it affects Charleston, the new ex
port rate does not alter existing do

in the published tariff are Alton, Cairo

to waste wheat on them, especially
when It is so badly needed and gives
promise of being needed more."
The wheat crop in the United States
the past season is less than that of the
year before and it is far short of th
demands for consumption by our own
people and the Entente Allies which
are depending upon us to feed their
armies. In "consequence of this fact, ah
arrangement has been entered into be
tween the food administrators of Can
ada and the United States for the free
movement of Canadian wheat into the
United States to be milled. Already
under that arrangement, large supplies
of wheat are moving from the Great
Lakes in Canada to the flour mills in
the Eastern part of the United States,
where the mills are operating day and
night. xThe wheat coming from the
Canada centres has been purchased at
the same price as that fixed for Amerl
can wheat.
While our own wheat and flour will
be largely exported to our allies, it is
said that a movement is on foot to
bring Chinese and Siberian wheat to
the United States to supply the
place of American wheat sent to the
Allies. An Associated rress dispatch
from Chang Chun, Manchuria, early in
the' season announced that Manchurian
nnr! Siberian wheat nrobably will be
exported to America to replace Amer
ican wheat shipped to the Entente Al
lies in Europe. Because or the lack of
locomotives and cars, it is impossible to
send the whea,t surplus from eastern
Asia into European Russia. "At scores
of railway stations in Siberia and
Manchuria sacks of wheat only slightly
protected by temporary shed3 were re
ported as rapidly deteriorating.
Agents of the United States govern
ment have been inspecting Manchurian
wheat and soy beans which are await
ing transportation, and.it is probable
that the wheat and beans within rea
sonable distance of tidewater will be
diverted to America.
There are many flour mills in Si
beria and Manchuria, but European
Russia lacks milling facilities. Plans
are under consideration for the re
moval of some of the mills from west
ern Siberia centers In southern Rus
sia, where large quantities of wheat
are available.
When will the war end? It is the
biggest question' in me world today.
Men pause' as they walk about and
ask It of each other. Nation asks it of
nation. If the thought of the world
could project a shadow, it would be
in the form of a gigantic interroga
tion point. The world is weary of"it,
and those who are suffering most are
agonizingly weary; and yet the de
mocracies of the world, weary as' they
are, are doggedly determined to fight
this thing out now "Every generation

and America, lulled into slumber in a

yet, "when will it end?" is a question
that rises in the camps of the fighters

net rate is the official classification, the
same as the Virginia ports.
A large group of commodity rates is
included in the new tariff and the
principal articles exported have been
enumerated. The reduction in freight
rates on commodities is in proportion
to the reduction in class rates.
The new tariff applies from that
territory north of the Ohio River
where the rates published by the vari
ous lines to the north bank crossings
are uniform and equalization is pro
vided in connection with the rates
through Ohio river crossings.

To the Editor of The Star:
Tn Tnur issue of Oct. Stte. is an article
titled "Debt of the World to Heroes of
Reformation."
I regret very much to be obliged to
contradict the public effusions of a
Christian minister. What a minister
teaches in his church is no business of
mine; that is something for his con
gregation. But when he uses the col
umns of a newspaper, he assumes the
office of a nubile teacher. 'In the ca
pacity of public teacher, he should aim
to teach truth. That the Kev. m. j. .
Plyler does not measure up to this
quality is evident from his article.
Wherever he refers to the Catholic
Church, the only thing I can find true
"Rome does not change." If this
refers to the doctrine she received from
Jesus Christ, . is true. "Thou shalt
not bear false witness" is the -command
of God. And the Master says, "If ye
keep my conjmandmeiits, ye shall abide
in my love," and "This is my com
mandment, that ye love one another, as
I have loved you" (John, chapter 15).
No wonder - people lose Interest in
religion. They see so little of love and
so much of hate. The writer' says:
"Pope Leo X authorizes John Tetzei, a
dominican monk, to! sell indulgences in
Germany." That is a deliberate false
hood. The Catholic church never taught
such stuff.
I have a Liberty bond of first series.
If Rev. Mr. Plyler will put up the
equivalent and prove the Catholic
church taught the sale of indigencies
at any time, he can nave my iioerty
bond. If he cannot estaDiisn mis, men
his equivalent can go to the Red Cross.
"Talk is cheap, bl it takes money to
buy bonds."
I will make the same offer in the doc
trine of church and rate. I do this
because I do not'wish to tire the pub
lic with such unprofitable discussion.
Now, let us see some specimens of
the doctrine of Freedom by this great
reformer. Luther himself says, on page
276, Vol; XV, iSrlangen eamom be
cause God has given tne law and knows
that nobody observes It, He has in ad
dition Instituted rod-masters, drivers
and urgers. So the Scripture by a
similitude calls the rulers. They must
k liue men who drive mules. One
Lmust constantly cling to their necks
and urge them on with wnips, or eise
v,ov trni not move ahead. So then are
the rulers to drive, beat, choke, hang,
burn, behead and break upon the wheel
the vulgar masses." That is lovely
freedom of conscience.
Neander g(a Protestant) says:, "By
Luther's principles', all oppressive dom-
lnation or a diio iongiuu, .uu
tyranny over the conscience of men
could be sanctioned. His views were
ft. same n those on which the Roman
Emperors had acted in persecuting the
r-ViT-i atlanst " Bea.ui.IIUl ireeoora mai:
The Rev. Mr. Plyler gives the inti
mation that Luther gave the Bible In
German to the people. 1 wonder if he
knows that fifteen editions of theBible
In the German language from year 1466
to 1518 preceded Luther's work. The
reverend gentleman takes great pride
in Luther's boldness. It was a great
act to nail the ninety-five theses on the
door of the Church
: Does he take equal pride n the
"Peasants' war" resultant? -
Let us see what Luther himself says:
"I, Martin Lutherhave during the re
bellion slain all the peasants, for it .was
I, who ordered them to be struck Mead.
Alt their blood i upon my head. But
I put It all on our Lord Crod; for He
AmA me to sneak thus.'

Roofing
Before its m erits were recognized, roll roofing was
regarded as a more or less temporary roof but now

a most durable roof, but also the most emcientrbof.
It is economical to buy, inexpensive to lay and costs
practically nothing to maintain. It is light weight,
clean, sanitary, fire-retardant and weather-tight.
It is' now used as the preferable ty pe cf rcof for
office buildings, factories, hotels, stores, ware
houses, garages, farm buildings etc., where dura
bility is demanded. CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed

There are many roll roofing on the market, but only one
CERTAIN-TEED. It pays to get the best. It costs no more
to lay a CERTAlN-TEED roof than it does to Jay fPor
