The Hearst papers predict that Herman Ridder, treasurer of the democratic national committee, will be appointed am- bassador to Germany. This is the first time Mir Bryans election has ever been considered seriously by a hostile press. There is no more sure indication afforded anywhere that the democrats will assume control of the federal government March 4th next.

This sublime and immortal man lived in
the dark night of the middle ages and like
the sun in the heavens above u.s. he shed
light upon all the world he was the herald
of the civilization which We enjoy today:
he discovered that besides this little grain

lead to satisfaction in personal conduct.
To know that another healed the sick,

the good that noble impulses inspired him
to do is vaueless to us unless we can tnd
the same principles of power which direct

them that We may at least partially share
the same blessedness of conviction and
conduct which made his life worthy of

The evangelical churches are societies of
persons. They are strong in so far as they
represent the highest purpose of a number
of units. There is no strength in numbers
unless there is unity of purpose and an or
ganization can hope to be continued only
so long as 1t represents the purpose of its
members and by this representation con
tinues to merit their support
For any of these bodies to be deceived
because there is no immediate upheaval
and no sudden depletion within its ranks
is blindness, or at least il is spirtual aud
intellectual near sighte lness. Great revo-
lutions depend upon the gradual unfold
ment of the consciousness of many inti
viduals, and while the final affirmation of
this consciousness sometimes is expressed
in forms of such force as to radically affect
all elements that resist them, they have
nevertheless arrived step by step and the
understanding elements have long held
them in recognition, and are not disrupted
or disturbed by their actual announcement.
One feature which leads some churches
to sit In SNUG complacency while the
hearts of their members turn from them Is
that understanding and growth are so
great in their wisdom, in their humility
and assurance that they make no conten
tons or disputes or arguments, but gladly
confess all of the partial views of truth
which any society or individual has a ca

(By Henry c. Warnack)
Religions are based on the yearning of
people for the completeness of life. Man
kind looks to them to inspire conduct, to
afford comfort in the face of the seemingly
adverse, and to shed light upon the prob
lem of adjusting existence on earth to
eternal being. Belief involves conduct. If
we are to act as if we believed or dsbe-
lieved certain postulates what we believe
becomes of vital importance. If we believe
beautiful hopeful, constructive tenets, then
our deeds will be lovely and will bring us
peace and happiness. Failure to base
our transcendent beliefs is to be without
the purpose and joy which make living
worth while. For this reason the senti-
ments that man entertains and which
are classed as religion are the greatest con-
Germ of everyday life.
All doctrine of life hinges on how sue
cessful it is in relating the man within to
the world without. Whatever aids in estab-
fishing harmony between the life of the
heart and the life visible to the eyes and
tangible to the touch is truth. It is the
bread of life and it never disagrees, never
faction we demand of religion. We look to
it to link the seen and the unseen and to
bring about union of sentiment and rea-
son that shall make us strong for life.
There has never been time when man
as a reasonable creature did not count OF
worth only such statements of principle as
could be applied to his own life. AS man
kind approaches superior intelligence this
tendency to exact of religion such expert
ences as are personal and intimate in
creases to the point of an insistent demand
No matter how great or how true a orin-
ciple may be, If it cannot be applied to
personality, it has no value to the indivd-
ual. If religion is to be Of comfort TO us
1t must offer a living experience. \ per
sonal and direct revelation and a perpetual
demonstration.
Any sort of faith is adequate in its last
analysis If 1t offers living hypothesis. T,

upon the individual consciousness, and

but welcome in love every utterance of
truth which they are large enough to ex-
press.
Because all the ground upon which they
stand is not suddenly swept from beneath
their foundations is no reason why these
churches should become fixed in the as
sumption of security. People may receive
with gratitude all that they have to offer,
but they cannot feed their growing minds
upon husks, and as the light of personal
revelation exceeds the light of the provided
word of the pulpit they will look more and
more within themselves.
All these forms rely upon Elasticity for
permanence. Forms which are not plastic
will break under strain. They reach their
limit of size and are then divided If the
function of one of these churches does not
change to correspond with the need of its
members. it will either be reorganized or
dissolved. 1t will not be lost. but it will
be expressed in new forms which meet the
new demands. Men individually are ad-
vancing in consciousness, and if these
churches fail to so modify, so compromise
and so rejuvenate as to fully represent the
ideals and purposes of their progressive
units. they will cease to be of service and
no form ever yet outlived its usefulness
Increase of understanding on the part of
the individual member emphasizes the in
sufficiency of the churches. whenever they
fail the broadening conceptions and COM
prehension of the member. If the whole
does not function the needs Of the unit
there is disorder and disntegration will
follow unless the order is so plastic as to
anticipate and accommodate all new re-
qurements.

ROOSEVELT AND THE NAVY.

Many OF US for long time have
thought that Mr.. Roosevelt INDUCES in
the spectacular to no good end. when
the feet started from the eastern to
the western ocean, there was d sus-
picion, seemingly well grounded at the
time, that the president was burning
red FIRE for the entertainnnert OF the
jingoes and to his own personal Joy.
Little happened to offset this idea until
the vessels rounded the Horn. The
people began to realize about that
time that the officers and men or the
navy were learning lesson of greater
value to the country than the cost Of
coal used In the going and the price
OF powder spent In saIutations. SAN

BURKE THEIR HOPE.

1t Is not the entire state democratic
ticket that the republicans have to
fight in North Dakota. It's John
Burke. The democratic leaders re-
alize that nothing short of a landslide
will save the political scalps of the
nominees for other state offices and
are concentrating their efforts toward
the reelection Of John Burke as the
states executive.
The republicans recognize the fact
that Burke is a strong candidate. They
haven't forgotten that he beat them
once-but they don't intend that he
shall repeat. There are several rea-
sons why Burke Is not as strong a
candidate this year as he was the first
time.
Two years ago the republicans were
at each others throats. Axes and
knives were being carried for the other
fellows in the bitterest factional fight
that was ever experienced in this
state. The nominee of the republican
party had-rightly or wrongly-se-
cured the intense opposition of large
element of his own party who demon
strated their resentment by voting for
Burke.
Today the situation is different The
republicans have lain aside factionai
differences and there is a disposition
to call for a new deal This Is not
q mere surface indication for public
consumption--but the actual condition
and vastly different from the situa-
tion two years ago. Added to this the
republican nominee is personally ac-
ceptable not only to the leaders Of
both former elements but to the rank
and file of the party. His record in
a professional, business and political
way is without crit ism. These two
important factors make 1T practically
certain that republican will be the
next governor of North Dakota.
The greatest argument in favor of
Burke is that he has held the place
one term and is entitled to a re-eiec-
tion. That will not win many repub-
lican votes. II party man stumps
his toe there is no reason for his doing
II over again. A secondary claim made
in the interests OF Burke is that he
will have the support OF the prohibi-
tionists. That would be strong fac
tor--if there was the slightest thing
in the record of C. A. Johnson, the
republican nominee, that was an
tagonistic to temperance work. But
there is nothing Of that nature.

Yet another point In connection with

the Pacific. There is a certain i'm
pressiveness that win not be lost upon
Japan and other nations in the fact
that we have been able to send two

Pacific coast. ships are looking after

vessels are on the eastern coast. Yet

according to these figures, nearly 7s

than the year before, while the in
