BAPTIST
FINISHES WORK

Monday Rev. E. M. LETTERS with the
other delegates. returned from Hur-
on, where the twenty-ninth annual
session Of the South Dakota Baptist
State Convention came to a close on
Sunday evening.
The convention was well attended
and was a profitable one from the
beginning to the end. A number of
marked addresses we're given by
Rev. E. Y. Mullins, DID,, president Of
the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary at Louisville, Kentucky,
any n of which was well worth the
trip to the convention. His address
on the theme. "Chr!st's Response to
Modern Thought" was a marvellous
review Of the present day world
thought, and a clear presentation of
the fact that all present day thought
is unsatisfactory in its conclusions
and goal-less in its its aims when the
supernatural is left out. This con-
GLIDING or completing element is
found in Its perfection in the Christ.
The Baptist Convention adopted a
strong and unanimous resolution en-
dorsing the woman's suffrage move
ment and urging a hearty support of
the suffrage a sndment to be voted
upon this fall. The convention also
adopted a resolution in support of
the county option measure to be sub
mitted to the people this fall.
Next fall the annual sessin Of the
Convention will be held at Madison,
and it will be a Jubilee session, for the
convention was organized at Lake
Madison thirty years ago.
Rev. Mr.. Anderson, pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Huron,
brought greeting from the other
churches of the city and he congrat-
ulated the Convention on the fact
that the Baptists of the United States
made a greater gain the past year
than any other Protestant body.

Pierre, S. D.-Fire Marshal Craft

Deputy Fire Marshal Grams was in the
department from Lead this week on
like business. He sem a boy from
Deadwood to the reform school last
week on a charge of incendiar;sm, and
ie investigating other charges in the
Black Hills. The state insurance de-
partment reports an unusual number
of fires lis year from what are sup
posed to be incendiary origin. and
cannot account for the outbreak along
this line as the fires in most cases are
not such that any special benefits
would accrue to the owners of the
property through insurance to be Sc
cured from the Losses.

If the arguments which Socialists have
been advancing for many years had the worth

blatant of their leaders have contended it
doesn't seem necessary for the cult to strug

Home, Church and Politics.

UNSETTLED people, and those admirers

record of Governor Patterson is too we'll
known for comment. That such a man as
Bob Taylor would stump the State in be-
half of the political interests of the Patter-
son party, was a shock to many. Evidently
great pressure has been brought to bear on
the Ex-Governor, as he has recently addressed
a letter to the Chairman of the Patterson
AOulllllIO0c1 11OIl CIl6 CdIIlpdISII,
and refusing to make any speeches. If ever

IN OHIO forcing the recently adopt
ed law. The employees of
the association were gathered from a number
of other avenues of usefulness, and were
clothed with sufficient authority to invade
'soft drink places in their search for the
deadly and prohibited fire-water. One of the
proprietors was killed by one of the "detec-
Newark; men and women took part in the
riot, and report has it the colored brother was
also present. The "detective" was taken from
jail, BEATEN kicked and then lynched in
public square, This is, perhaps, only fore
runner of what 'prohibition" will lead to,
when laws are NOT enforced. Ohio is to be
pitied but if the "dignity of the law" is to
be upheld it will be just to do one of two
things either give ALL THE PEOPLE of
the State the opportunity of choosing their
laws by direct vote, or enforce their laws

Should Italy demand the extradition of Por
ter Charlton, the American man who muir
dered his American wife in Italy, it would
mean the creating of new extradition treaty
between the two countries, and this Italy
seems loath to consider From present APP
pearances, Charlton, self-confessed wife
murderer, may go free for the lack of prose
cution, as no one in the United States has the
right to hold him as a criminal In default of
Italy's demand for his return. This case will
open up many unexplored avenues of argu,
ment as to the faulty treaties which exist be
tween this and other countries In regard to
the criminal code. That Charlton is a dan
gerous man, a menace to society and the world
at large, cannot be gainsaid; it would seem
that the Government should speedily devise
means of controlling him in his future
movements

gate the creed of Socialism.
Recently the church wardens decided that the
lay-reader was devoting too much of his time
to preaching his doctrine and not enough to
the job of lay-reading; that he was too So
Geological and not spiritual enough, and now
we are assured that the gentleman in question
would become the preacher leader of the sect.
Thus we will have Socialism in religion,
politics and the domestic life. 1t is a pecu-
liar phase to pote that the Socialist leader is
invariably hard up for ready cash, and this
new apostle-leader must wait for funds to
build his church and assure him of a living.
To quote one of the organs of the Socialists:
F'While Socialism understand it is purely
political program nevertheless most of us in
tellectuas retain that form of sentim entality as
some call it, which Graves religious expression.
Denominations mean nothing to any Of the COM
rades, but all of them opposed to agnostic or
atheistic tendencies. 1t seems fitting therefore,
that Mr.. Irvine be called upon to counteract non
religious tendencies which pronounced among
our foreign-born comrades. Mr. Irvine is, above

Mr.. Seton expects to spread thus

and what they hope to accomplish.
There are already here two bodies Of
boys similar TO those Of England-ons

Springfield, Mass. The idea has proved
very popular in these two cities. and
the youngsters take great delight In
their camping and hiking experiences.
That IS the strong point OF the boy
scout idea. II appeals not only 10 the
parents as a means Of making manly
men Of their boys, but II appeals
strongly 20 the boys themselves.
