Milton Schuman, in Memorial
Day Sermon, Calls Atten-
tlon to Evil Forces.
POST AND CORPS HEAR ADDRESS

Corrupt and corrupting citizen
ship is the greatest danger the ma
ton faces today" said Milton Schu-
man, D. D., pastor of the Methodist
church, in his Memorial day sermon.
at the Christian church Sunday
morning.
b., The sermon was listened to by the
members of the post and corps,
there being about Is G. A. R. men
present and 35 or 10 of the ladies.
While the sermon was directly for
the old soldiers, it was listened to
by the large congregation with the
utmost attention and interest as
strikingly applicable to the problems
of today.
INSTITUTIONS IN DANGER
Conditions at present make US
feel that our institutions are in dan
ger" said Mr.. Schuman. Wealth.
the vast accumulation of riches in
the hands of a few, is one of the
greatest causes of apprehension.
I'VE can say, and in no spirit of
Boosting, that we could successfully
meet any armed force that could be
sent against US, but are we prepared
+ to grapple with the insidious and
subtle forces that are at work inter-
nally? | sometimes feel that our
security of today may be more fan
cied than real and | know that the
: problems we face are as serious as
those for which these men fought.
FLAG ALWAYS HAD A DEFENDER
Shall it be said of US that we
loved our nation less during times
of peace than during times of war?
That old flag never wanted for q
hand to defend it during the days Of
strife and in the times of peace it
must still have its defenders.
There is some reason for alarm
when we know that 80 per cent OF
The young men who make applica-
ton to join the army are rejected

Perhaps, too. the craving for and
the undue use of liquor may be
undermining our young manhood. "

the confidence shown by both sides In

these was directly the result of Lin
coins second call for troops and in
May was just becoming popular:
Yes we'll rally round the flag, boys.

There was another song that fancy

Injunction Issued
Against New Co.
The Commissioners and Officials Of
Stevenson County Restrained
From Doing Business

An injunction restraining the
new county commissioners of Stew
enson county from completing the
organization of the county was Sc
cured last Monday by the two
attorneys who have been fighting
the dividing of the county.
Attorneys Nelson and McCul-
loch claim that the question as to
the legality of the division Of the
county is now before the supreme
court and that therefore Governor
Burke had no right to appoint the
commissioners. The case is sched-
uled to come up before the supreme
court this month, and until the
highest court in the state passes
on the question, it is not finally
settled.
The text of the injunction fol-
lows:
In the Supreme Court, State Of
North Dakota:
The State of North Dakota, ex rel
Andrew Miller, Attorney Gener-
al of the State of North Dako-
ia, Plaintiff vs.. Alexander Miller,

and then and there answer the Pc
tition and complaint in the above
entitled proceeding which is here
to attached and herewith served
upon you and show cause, if any
there be, why the prayer Of the Pc
titioner for writ of injunction as
demanded In said petition and COM
plaint should not be issued by this
court.
And it having been made to ap-
pear to this court from the petition
and dcomplaint of the attorney gen.
eral and states attorney of Mclean
county, and the afidavits Of An
drew Miller and j. E. Nelson, cop.
les of which are hereto annexed,
that the sovereignty. rights and
franchises of the state of North
Dakota are in eminent peril Of be-
ing impeded, jeopardized and dis
turbed and the peace and order and
property rights of the inhabitants
thereof are in immediate danger of
being previously and irreparably
disturbed and jeopardized and that
no other adequate and speedy re-
medy against such alleged evils
and injuries are available and we
being willing that speedy justice
should be done, now, therefore, on
motion of the attorney general and
the states attorney of Mclean
county.
