Mr.. Eberhart been governor then
there would at this time be millions OF
dollars worth of Minnesota pine still
standing in the northern wilds ready
to be converted into useful material
instead of having been otherwise care

Had we had governor like Mr..
Eberhart thirty years ago, the state :
mineral deposits would have been safe
guarded in such manner that the
revenue therefrom would make it pos

direct tax for revenue to sustain the
state government.

that time to advocate his ideas, the
state would now have thorough sys

RELIGION AND BUSINESS

Occasionally the remark is
heard that religion and business
do not mix. If that be the case,
it is probably the fault of the
persons who try to mix the two
but who do not use the ingredi-
tents in the right ratio.
Very true it is that if there
were more of the principles of
true religion and undefiled en-
:ployed by the modern business
man, business would be a differ
ent proposition. Today there is
altogether to much of selfish.
ness, too much of dishonesty.
too much of graft found in bust.
ness. We're the principles laid
down by the meek and lowly
Nazarene put to practical test
in modern business, the public
would get a square deal and the
business man would enjoy more
permanent prosperity.
On the other hand, religion, as
represented by the church, needs
an innoculation of practical bus
mess methods. BILLY" Sunday

If the average merchant were
to run his business as the aver

What reputable business man

There is just as much Christi

there is in attending church, or
in praying or singing. 1.-THE
Lord loveth a cheerful giver,'
says the good book; and he nc
doubt entertains a high regard
for the church that minds its
temporal affairs as they should
be minded.
Then, there's another side to
the question. The pastor of a
church that lets it's finances run
down at the heel cannot do his
work and maintain his self re-
spect. If he is not paid what he
earns and the average preacher
in the west earns much more
than his services bring he has
to accept gratuities. A custom
has been established that the
preacher is entitled to many

Mr.. Presbrey. the dramatic author,
has followed the novel quite faith
fully, yet has found it necessary to
make some departures from the trend
of the book story for dramatic effect.
He says he has retained all the
strength and virility of the original
conception of Charley Steele with his
doubts. his jibes, his jeers and sneers,
and his eternal question ever flaunt-
ing in the face of all, "Is there any,
thing in this gray old world worth
living for?"
With his sneer, his eyeglass, his
cigarette, and his cool, insolent de-
fiance he is said to be a clean-cut,
masterful figure translated from book
