Mayor Haynes of Minneapolis on
Monday spoke at the Y. M. C. A.
building in that city on 1.-THE Rela-
tion of the Ministry to Public Ques-
tions." Several ministers we're in
attendance and expressed in short
speeches directly conflicting views to
those maintained by the mayor. Mr..
Haynes is strongly opposed to the
mixing of religion with politics and
quoted the scriptures in support of his
contention. Among other things he
said:
'To my mind the minister never
should discuss political issues or
candidates in his ministerial capacity,
no matter how great the provocation
nor how apparent the justification.
He must remember that his congrega-
ton is probably composed of all polit.
ical faiths and that in the heat of a
campaign there is natural tendency
to dissension which he ought not
to intensity, but rather to quiet by
messages of peace and good will such
as the Master spake."

Sentence of death has been passed
upon General Stoessel for surrender
ing Port Arthur to the Japs. Com
mutation of sentence is however
recommended by his judges. Thus
does the Russian government usually
reward it's heroes-the patriots who,
fguratively speaking, 60 throug h
hades for their country. General
Stoessel was a brave. fearless man.
He held Port Arthur as long as he
possibly could with the handful of
starving and wounded men he had at
his command-the surrender was
compulsory. Russia's government,
which controls the actions of the
courts, is an abominable institution
which knoweth not justice.

From the Havana Post we learn
that law exists in Cuba which pro-
hibits a man from using force to de-
fend his property against burglars,
and it seems that the thieves are tax
ing every advantage of it. At Veda-
do, fashionable suburb of Havana,
where friend Chadbourne now resides.
reign of terror prevails and people
are afraid to go to bed for fear of
burglars. Policemen are never seen
in that locality at night and the resi-
dents are entirely at the mercy of the
desperadoes. The only conclusion
which can be drawn is that the police
are in collision with the robbers and
that the law prohibiting force was en-
acted for the encouragement of crime
for the benefit of burglars. Surely
a nice condition of affairs in a
country which America is accredited

Thus suggests G.. 81. Waterman of

the suggestion is a good one, for if
followed out much greater safety
would be assured to depositors-ex-
pert examiners would detect weakened
conditions in financial institutions in

loss. At the present time the volun-
tary closing of a banks doors is
usually the first intimation that an

From many cities, particularly
those in the east, come reports that
there are large numbers of idle men,
and bread stations have been
established by some of the municipal
tiles for the relief of the unemployed.
This does not necessarily follow that
all of these men, or even a majority
thereof, would work if afforded an
opportunity so to do. AS ar
instance, city of New York state
started public works as means o.
relieving the situation and advertised
for men with the result that eigh
made application for employment
while every morning there were
several hundred in the bread line.

A republican committee has made
the discovery that 10000 fraudulent
votes-for democratic candidates OF
course-are cast at every election in
the borough of Manhattan. It would
not be fair to pass opinion on this
case until democratic committee
ascertains the number of fraudulent
votes cast for republican candidates.
Likely a case of "six one and half a

II cannot agree with those who think
that the taking of wines, ale or beer
in moderation is wrong, because the
process of fermentation is one of
Gods creative acts, and the divine
Master of the. christian religion
turned the contents of six water pots,
holding one hundred and twenty gall
Ions, into wine. My great sympathy
is with the temperance movement, but
men are not made good by law, but
by the resistance of temptation
through the aid of grace. "-Bishop
Grafton.
But then, dear bishop, you can pro-
duce no proof that the wine which
Christ made had undergone fermenta-
tion-that it was Intoxicating. We
have been taught to believe, and
many eminent theologians contend,
that this wine was unfermented.

Mortified News: Time was when it
was considered to the credit of a man
who had talent for public business
not to obtrude himself on public
notice. Hence the aphorism. "The
Office seeks the man, not the man the
Office. - This view, however, now
seems to be effete, discarded. In the
school of politics, which has become
popular, the man who is willing to
accept Office, but who neglects to
advertise the fact by beating tom
toms, is quite disreputable person
whom it is quite natural to suspect OF
harboring evil designs. He is a
dark horse against whom dappled
steeds and steeds of lighter color,
even piebald nags, some of whom
occasionally are to be found in the
political herd, are justified in lifting
their heels against and driving out OF
the convention corral. There seems to
be growing sentiment among those
who make politics their business that
the choice of leaders must emanate
from them; that the political arena is
mining camp in which the claim
staked assumes all the sacredness Of
vested right. Politicians are repre-
sented without protest as closing the
lists in their own interests and assum.
ing the right to name. the men from
whom free people may make choice
of their public servants. d A..

George Peterson of the state legal
department has prepared an opinion
supporting the law of 1907 which pro-
vides for the appointment of superin-
tendents of highways and road in
spectors of all towns in the state hav-

will be remembered that this law was
recently declared to be unconstitu-
tional by Judge Dibbell of Duluth
upon the grounds that it partook of
the nature of special legislation.
Until the supreme court has been
called upon to decide the matter it
will still remain in doubt.
