It's said that every young man

as an homes, statement Of wha, he
believed;
al believe in one God, present in
nature as law, in science as ruth,
in art as beauty, in history as JUS
tice, in society as sympathy, in con-
science as duty, and supremely in
Christ as our highes, ideal.
81 believe in the Bible as the ex-
preston of Gods will through man,
in prayer as the devotion of mans
will to God; and in the Church as
the fellowship OF those who try to
do Gods will in the world.
81 believe in worship as the high
est inspiration to work, in sacrifice
as the price we must paw to make
ripht what is wrong; in salvation as
growth out of selhshness into SER
vice; in eternal life as the survival
of what loves and is lovable in each
individual; and in judgement as the
obvious TAG, that the condition of
the gentle, the generous, the mod
est, the pure, and the true is always

| w. Il. Brinton. president of the Peru
| PlOw company. He was one of the
chief speakers and is reported in the
press dispatches TO have said:

Of bloodshed in this country that will

This sanguinary utterance was
cheered 10y the GOO members present"
until doubtless the glasses jingled up
Oh the tables. excited by the same cleo
tricaI current that vibrated through the
speaker and the 600.
Mr. Brinton and his associates were
brimful of fight that evening. Like
the warhOrse. they scented the bat

minds scenes of blOOdshed surprising

Possibly it is only an armed truce,
and the 600 may become bloodthirsty
any time another banquet is given, but
the latest advice from the seat of war
is that all is quiet on the Calumet, and
Christmas presents We're purchased as
usual. 1t is easy to picture the blood
curdling BrintOn presenting turkeys to
his employees. majority of whom are
members of the labor organizations and
whom he and the 600 expect to meet in
ueduly COnlDdI.
This joyous Christmas season is a
good time for both the manufacturers
and wOrkmen to consider measures
for cOncilia ton and that each should
allow the other to conserve their inter
ests i'm: what they consider desirable as
far as may be. If Brother BrintOn can
not get his wOrkmen TO dissolve their
labor organizations he as last resort
will have TO close his shop and look
elsewhere for employees. and if the
Peru plow ceases to be manufactured
there will be plOwS made and sold
anyway. Will he gain by that: To

LA FoLLETTEs VICTORY.
Reelected Governor of Wisconsin by
$4,000 Majority.

Milwaukee, Wis. Nov. 9.-The result
Of the election i'm Wisconsin shows that
Roosevelt ran ahead of every eXpecta-
ton and carried the state by a plurality
estimated at between SO, 600 and $4,000,
that Governor La Toilette has been re-
elected by a plurality of about $4,000
and that the congressional complexion
remains unchanged from two years ago.
The legislature, which is to elect a
United States senator TO succeed J. v
QuaTles. is largely Republican, and
the question of whether Wisconsin shall
have primary election law has carried
by a safe majority.
One of the surprises in the election
was the big increase in the vote of the
Social-Democrati party. Four years
ago 1e7O4 and .dn this election 1920.
The SOcial-Democrats elected four
asssmblymen and one senator to the
legislature.
In the Legislature, Chairman Conner
of the La Toilette state central COM
mittee. claims there will be eighty
members pledged to Garry out the
measures advocated by Governor La
Toilette. OF this number sixty-three
are assemblymen and seventeen SEN
atOrs, or a majority Of each house.
Chairman Golden, of the Stalwart fac
ton, claims that the Stalwarts and
Democrats combined viii control a ma
jority of each house, and he predicts
that if Senator Quarles is not re-
elected. the legislature viii probably
ind itself i'm a deadlock.
