Rev. James Campbell, Of Elroy, has re-.
ceived letter from Ex-Gov. Hoard on
the A. P. A. in which he says: If the Az.
P. A. or any other society seeks to pro-.
scribe or to honor any man politically or
socially, on account of his religious be-
lief, it is certainly to that extent un-
American, and can have neither my sym~
pathy nor my support in so doing. The
keystone in the arch of American liberty
is the total separation of church and
state, and there should be no interfer-
ence, directly or indirectly, in the affairs
of the one by the other. Neither re-
hgion nor place Of birth should be a fac
tor in politics either one way or the
other, and I have little respect for the
politicians who seek to array and mass
and vote church merbers or nationals
tiles for or against parties or individuals.
It is prescription in either case and al
un- American and inexcusable on the one
hand as on the other.

1 Rev. Ryan, the Methodist minister at
Grand Forks, and his wife have pub,
lished the following card in the News of
that city: It having been published that
we as family were in such destitute cir
cumstances as to be in need Of charity,
we desire to say that the statement had
not the least foundation in fact, and is
Ialtogether false. We greatly appreciate
the kindness Of those who took the coca
sion Of the surprise party lately held at
|our residence to leave tokens of their
lgood will, but we have q full assurance
that they were not left because it was
felt that we were in need. II, by the re-
