ing service was a sermon by Dr.. A. L.

theme, Jesus and. the Social Oder"
after which the communion Of the
Lords Supper was administered. Dr.
Thomas H. Lewis was nominated for
reelection as president, but was de eat
ed by Dr.. Lyman Edwyr avis. who
received ~ votes as against IL for DR..
Lewis. The statement was made that
Maryland had held the presidency for
tw%enty-fOur out of twenty eight, and
that the office should 60 elsewhere, but
the direct issue seemed to be church
union and its strong advocacy by Dr..
Lewis.
Mayor Preston welcomed the General
Conference to Baltimore AMI went out
OF his way to attack W. II. Anderson
Of the Anti-Saloon League, and sur
prised the audience by saying he was
IN favor of the abolition of the liquor
traffic and declared that not one man,

more Preachers Meeting, in welcoming
The delegates, defended MI. Anderson
and said he had the unqualified conf
dence" of the Methoulst Protestant
Church.
On Sunday, May 10. many of the
pulpits of the city were occupied by the
visiting ministers.
Tuesday, May 81, was a great day.
Alter Charles l.. Mead and S. Reese
Murray brought fraternal greetings
from Baltimore Annual Conference,
the report Of the commission on union
between the Methodist Episcopal, the
Methodist Episcopal, South, and the
Methodist Protestant Churches was
read by =. L. H. Lewis. In intro
ducing lie report the chairman said:
''This union between the three Meth
odist Churches i'll America is the largest
ecclesiastical proposition ever submit
ted to the Christian world, contem-
plating, as 1t does, the union of more
than 5,00O, 600 members of the three
denominations into one, with vast
property and administrative interests
covering the whole United States and
9TH countries" He said that the
Joint commission had made ''substan-
Llal progress toward a common, a
united and a threefOld Methodist
Church. The report recommended tile
continuation of the commission for
carrying on to completion the negotia-
lions for the union of the three Meth
odisms, but stated emphatically that
the two Episcopal Methodisms must
come into agreement before the Meth
Odist Protestant Chulch can 60 further

alities. DR.. Lewis swept the Confer
eEce with eloquent words and he wal
frequently interrupted by the cheers OF
the delegates. "We are not going
farther than we have gone" he cried.
1--WE are going again as far as we have
gone. We are not going back. God
Vas chosen us as an Intermediary. We
are mediators. We want to make
three in one and that is the only thing
we will consider. \ \ 4 | am anx
ious for church union, but not in the
attitude of selling anything. 1 have
nothing to sell. 1 am not for sale. l
have no churches to barter away" The
report of the commission was adopted
in it's entirety and the recommended
tons accepted and the great congrega-
ton arose to its feet and sang the
doxolOgy.
The General Conference closed May
18th in fine spirit, with the good will of
all Methodists and the respect OF all
Christian people. The new president,
DR.. Davis, was easy of approach and
ready to serve in every possible way.
The delegates were heartily received in
the many pulpits, giving the gospel
message with no uncertain sound. The
souvenir number of the Methodist
Protestant, with its sixty-four pages,
was worthy of the church and its able
editor, DR.. F. Z. Tagg. 1t is matterof
great satisfaction to all Baltimore
Methodism that the genial DR.. Tagg
was reelected editor of The Methodist
Protestant. One Of the most pleasant
incidents of the General Conference
was the planning for organic union
with the United Brethren in Christ,
with the belief that such union is ''both
practical and possible" and au' horiz-
ing the commission Oh union to carry
on the negotiations to complete as o
as agreeable to the United Brethren.

REST IN RETIREMENT.

Why do men work for money they
do not need?
The answer in most cases is that
they enjoy the chase.
But former Gov. Frank s.. Black of
New York is an exception.
At IS, in perfect health and with the
expectancy of many years of great
earning power. Mr.. Black ave up his
profession. He has settled down on a
farm to enjoy the rest Of life just as
he pleases.
Mr.. Black say he has all the money
he needs-and. consequently. will not
trade any more Of his vitality for
cash.
Many men find retirement dull, and
If they have been especially active
absolute rest often proves fatal.
But Mr.. Black did not wait until he
was a nervous wreck before he elected
a life of rural simplicity. He carried
health and vigor to the farm with him.
In the simple activities Of the country
he will doubtless ind complete happi-
ness.

DRIFT TO CITIES.

The ST Louis Globe Democrat shows
that the growth of cities at the ex-
pense of the country is international.
Other countries seem to have been as
Unfortunate in this respect at the
United States. The editorial is as fol-
lows:
The revised figures of the ingredi-
ents of the population of several Eu-
ropean countries which have come to
hand in the past few days show that
the drift or the other side of the
Atlantic, as on this side, is strongly
toward the cities. While the popula-
ton OF France increased $4,000 in
the past five years, which is a very
small gain for a country containing
over ss,oo0.oO0 Of people. all of this
increase, and much more, was alb
sqrbed by the towns. Outside OF the
nteeen largest cities, the population Of
FfanESA IA the five years decreased
100000. Paris alone gained 805, 900 of
the $4,000 Of the entire country's in
1Sesse. A still greater relative gain
isS shown by the cities OF Germany
over the rural regions. Germany is
growing far faster than France, but
the increase goes to the towns Of So
600 and upward. Even little Switzer-
land, a country Of 1880 o by the CEN
sus whose figures are just published,
shows that the gain, which amounts to
$4,000 In ten years. has gone to the
ciaeS-zurich, Basel, Geneva, Lau-
same Lucerne. st. Gall n the rest
OF the towns above $4,000 population.
This drift to the cities Is shown in
a more marked degree in a new coun-
try than 1T is in any OF the old ma
tons just named. Australia, with a
total of A.455.000 Inhabitants, or 500
coo less than r in New York city,
grew only $4,000 in ten years. This
is surprisingly small growth for a
country having as great an area as
the entire contiguous part of the Unit
ed States. and a country which is new,
and which has immigration boomers in
England and other parts of Europe.
In the ten years, however, the leading
citfes-Sydney, Melbourne and the
others-gained several times the 6S. 600
credited to the entire commonwealth.
Much Of that country, therefore. is
falling oEs in population. Ireland,
which is steadily decreasing In inhab-
itants as a whole, shows a gain in
Dublin and in its other important
towns. The slow growth of EngIand's
big dependency in the Pacific accounts
for the efforts which it has begun to
make to attract immigrants from the
United states. Canada has been ii c
cessful in doing this for the past seven
or eight years. but our duped ex-coun-
trymen find it easier to get back from
Canada than they could from Australia

FRIDAY. FEs 3. is, 1912.
AN AUDITORIUM.

Fargo lie to have an auditorium
some time. That is the encouraging
report Il is better than to have it
announced there is to be none. But
there should be nothing indefinite
about the matter.
There can be no difference of opinion
as to the necessity OF an auditorium.
All appear to be agreed on that point.
There may be opposing views as to the
methods for securing the much wanted
building.
For a few years Fargo lost ground
as a convention city. There were sew
eral reasous Among them was the
admitted fact that no organized effort
was made to secure the conventions
another that many organizations tired
of switching back and forth between
Fargo and Grand Forks and wished to
try cities in the western part Of the
state.
Now. however, due largely to the in
creased activity in the commercial
club, conventions have been returning
to Fargo. More and larger ones will
come-if the city has the proper ao-
comhmodations.
It's UP TO the people to provide an
auditorium if they wish to attract
conventions and visitors. No matter
what the auditorium costs-it will be
a good investment. 1t win probably
neve pay for itself in dollars and
cents on actual returns-but 1t will
have the story Of bread cast on the
waters beaten a mile.
Every convention that is held in
Fargo is an advertisement-good or
bad-for the city. II there was a
proper auditorium delegates to every
convention held here would have some
thing nice to say about the ability Of
Fargo to care for big meetings. Each
success would insure other gatherings
Every citizen should cooperate with
the committee that has this matter il
hand-and give all possible support tx
the movement.

A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

Editor Wilson of The Bathgate Pink
Paper-erstwhfle state oil inspector,
and present candidate for democratic
national committeeman-has been
taking a squirt at the republican stu
alton in North Dakota. AS an limo
cent bystander-he concludes that the
Roosevelt boom in this state is assum-
ing some proportions. In a recent edi-
torial he says:
The candidacy of Mr.. Roosevelt has
made some inroads on the strength of
Mr.. LaFollette in this state, some of
the insurgents seeming to favor his
candidacy. LaFollette is still strong
but the stalwart strength and that of
the insurgents who have declared for
Roosevelt make conditions somewhat
changed and at the present writing it
would seem like an even break between
Roosevelt and LaFollette. The future
and the results depend very much on
the strength Of the i%nsurgent organiza-
ton.

This concentration Of people in the
great centers is a phenomenon which
is under way in all the progressive
countries. In the past ten years, while
the United States population inereas-
ed 21 per cent, Germany's Is per cent,
Hollands Is per cent, Switzerland's 10
per cent. Japan's IL per cent, Mexico's
IL per cent, Austria Hungary's 9 per
cent, the United Kingdoms s per cent,
Norway's and Sweden's each Z per
cent, and SPANS 5 per cent, the growth
of the towns of $4,000 or 10000 and
upward in all of them was at a far
higher ratio. over 80 per cent of the
inhabitants Of England are in it's
towns of 10000 or $4,000 and upwards.
More than half Of the population of
the state OF New York in 1912 is cen
tered in its big town at the mouth of
the Hudson. Soon we shall have an
other state, Illinois. in which half of
its people will be in a single city. AS
we are reminded by foreign observers
that the weak link in our polity Is
that Of the government of our mu-
nicipalities-a truth which we could
have guessed at without being told
from the outside-this drift Of people
to the citieC sets up a big problem for
our social philosophers and statesmen
to grapple with.

GROWING ALFALFA.

A|
Representatives or the agricultural
college have been preaching the gospel
of alfalfa raising in North Dakota for
q great many years. Because Of the
difficulty Of getting the crop started a
great deal Of disbursement has been
met-but those who have succeeded in
getting a stand are loud in their praise
Of the crop.
Alfalfa will produce more hay--of
higher feeding vafue-than any other
hay crop. It will enrich the soil on
which it is grown and leave the land
in more fertile condition than when
the crop was seeded. Through its long
roots it will also subsol the land. Be
cause Of the early dates on which the
crop is cut it is also a weed eradicat-
or as the weeds cannot go to seed.
Well drained land is necessary and
proper preparation Of the soil with the
right kind Of a previous crop Is also
an essential. The N. p. farmer with a
few acres OF alfalfa well started has
q valuable asset to his holdings.
