CENSORSHIP ON
CHURCH DEBTS.

The action of The Washington
PresbyEery in insthuting measures
by which churches in that jurisdlc-
ton will in the future be debarred
fr n piling up debts without the
consent of the Presbytery Will prove
a gentle hint to all ecclesiastical de-
nominations which take upon them
selves obligations which generation
after generation is compelled to stag
ger under.
Several years ago writer in the
New York Tribune published an ar
ticle entitled Church Financierlng'
in which he made it plain that there
is great recklessness on Nhe part OF
many well-meaning people who rush
into needless extravaganza in erect
ing structures or for other pur-
poses in the name Of church work.
The young are generally enthused
over such schemes and lose sight of
the fact that pay day is sure 70
come. Such thoughtless people
would not make dangerous plung9s
ION their Individual rcspolj 5hifiy
but, like certain representatives in
legislative bodies, they fail to see
such responsibility when incurred
collectively.
The fact remains, however, that
debts must be cancelled eventually:
and that every individual member
of church as we'll as each member
of a community is morally rcspon-
siblc for obligations made in their
name.
Il is a mooted question with many
whether devotion to the Creator IN
the shape Of bricks and moran Is
the sine qua non Of spirituality.
When creditors are compelled to wait
wears for their just dues it would
seem that other methods of show
ing religious fervor would appeal
more to the world.
The glaring words, cove NO
Man Anything" if followed closely,
would remove unnecessary thorns
from the pillows of thc many.

WILL TAKE OVER CANAL.
Purchase of Albemarlc And Cncsa
peake Waterway by the Gov
eminent Approved.

Within the next 10 days the Unite5
States government will formally take
over the Albermarle and Chesapeake
Canal, connecting Albemarle Sount
with the Chesapeake Bay, and estab-
!. Hsh, not only the first link in tle pro-
posed Atlantic inland waterway chain.
but a free water way between Mary
land, Virginia and North Carolina
waters.
The statement was made yesterday
evening by the War Department that
,,hc titles to the canal property have
been approved and requisition had
been made on the government for the
100000 purchase money by Cole l..
Winslow, resident engineer at Norfolk,
who is handling the matter fer the
government. The Department Of JUS
tice has approved all papers in cen
nection with The purchase Of the prop
erty. AS soon as the law Offices Of the
War Department put their 80. L" OH
the papers the money will be paid over
and the canal will become the actual
property Of the United States Govern
ment.
The government will then proceed to
tear down the tollgates on TIE canal
and throw it open for free commerce.
An appropriation of $S00,000 was au-
thorized by the last congress for the
Improvement of the canal. Steps,
therefore, will soon be taken TO widen
the canal and increase its depth to Il
feet. 1t now has depth Of nine feet.
The opening of the canal will be L
great boon to commerce. 1t will give
steamship and towboat companies d
free waterway from cities on The bay
and the Potomac to Beaufort, n. c.,
Heavy tolls heretofore have been lev
led on shipping passing through the
canal.
The Lake Drummond Canal, which
now has approximately Is per cent OF
the commerce between the Chc:apcakc
Bay and Albemarle Sound, will be
driven practically out Of business by
converting it srival in;o free water
way.

News, evening, already, under one
manag cement with Col. A. B. VIII
liams as president and editor, has
now merged the World with the
News, and Roanoke hereafter will
have only one afternoon paper.
Norfolk, next to Richmond, the
largest city in the State, has re-
sponded to the wisdom learned of
experience, and by gradual merger
has only to newspapers left-the
Virginian-Pilot, morning, and the
Ledger-Dispatch, afternoon.
Commenting on the changes, the
Richmond Journal says:
"The practical lesson in all is that
fewer newspapers make surer sue
cess of those which are left, and a
newspaper these days is too big a
proposition to have many of 'em.
"The day when man, who. desir-
ing to reach the pubic ear, could
buy a peck Of type, few wooden
stands and a flat bed press and start
a newspaper, has ceased.
"The daily newspaper has become
great manufacturing plant, max
ing it necessary to have large capital
to establish it and a large income to
maintain it. The consequence is that
there are fewer newspapers ard bet
ter ones.
at is a serious matter these days
to inaugurate a new paper. and the
tendency is all in the direction Of de-
creasing rather than augmenting the
number"

SUN AT LAST
When the April sun floods the earth

After weary days OF rain
1t makes folks glad and it makes

With lis welcome beams again
There is something about this warm

That makes me glad I'm alive,
Oh. give ME the mellowing April days,
And, you bet your lie III thrive,
Talk of the Northern chimes, if you
will,
And their bracirg, healthy cold,
Blu! give ME the Springs warm,

That keeps ME from growing old.
RS lazy, perhaps, to lise the sun,
But the cOn1for. it gives, you see,
is the same I've enjoyed since my
life's begun,
And is Gods cheapest gift to me.

"Back to the Farm should be the
slogan of the young man who is look
ing for the most independent life. The
young man of this day and age is too
liable to associate city life with the
thought Of fine colthes and pleasure,
when as matters of fact, the average
clerk or business man in the city is
compelled to work six days in the week
with few vacations, in order to make a
success in the position he is filing.
There is no place better than the farm
if you wish to livN r life of independ-
ence, and at the same time make
money. And today there are few
places offering better health, prosperity
and independence than right on the
farm. The cities are being overcrowd.
ed with professional men and Others
who are clamoring to make living
and if they want day of vacation
they really have to neglect their bust
ness to get it, while on the farm one
can take vacation almost any time he
likes and yet his business is not neg
elected.

The Art Of Economy.

All economy, whether Of state
households or individuals, may be de.
fined to be the art Of managing labor.
Now, we have warped the
word economy" IN our English Ian.
guage into meaning which 1t has no
business whatever to bear. In our
use Of it it constantly signifies merely
sparing or saving-economy Of money
means saving money; economy OF
time, 'sparing time, and SO on. But
that is wholly barbarous use of the
word-barbarous in double sense, for
it is not English, and it is bad Greek;
barbarous in q treble sense, for it is
not English. it is bad Greek, and it
is worse sense. Economy no more
means saving money than it means
spending money. It means the ad-
mtnistration Of house, its steward
ship, spending or saving-that is,
whether money or time or anything
else to the best possible advantage

bers of this committee was that well
known politician, Joe Cannon. It i:
said that at the first meeting of thi;
committee in talking over matters and
laying plans. Mr.. Cannon, as he paced
up and down the room, remarked:
''Let's be fair with each, other. This
is political committee boys. You
Democrats will take advantage of us
if you get q chance, and we will take
advantage of you."
This may not be just the right spirit
for a congressman to show, but one
can hardly help admiring the frank
ness of this astute politician. Joe Can.
non had his faults, but he was always
known to be fearless fighter and any
political moves he made he made them
open and above board, no matter how
much he was criticised. We always
admired man whom we knew right
where to find, either in politics OF in
private matters, and if we had more
people like Cannon along these lines
we believe that this old world would
be better for it.

That ls One Consolation That celee

Are you afraid Of the dark1 There
isn't chance of you seeing ghost II
you are color blind. which may furnish
you ray Of comfort for the beauties
Of landscape and 6oraI decorations you
may have missed during your lifetime.
DR.. August Lummer.. head Of the
physical institute of the University Of
Breslau. in Germany. is authority tor
this.
DR.. hummer explains the phenome-
non in this way:
'.The normal eye has an arrangement
Of tiny rods and cones in the retina.
The rods perceive light and the cones
color. When person with normal
eye tries to see in a half dark place
the cones. which are useless, interfere
with the effective action Of the rods.
and consequently the confusion creates
the effect Of apparitions that come and
go and change their shapes.
'The color blind person lacks the
cones. and his rods act with extraordi.
nary efficiency in the dark. The color
blind person sees clear, permanent
outline of things as long as there is the
least amount Of light present That
means that he never sees ghosts.

Why not have county fairi Ram.
sey county is one Of the best counties
in the state, and Devils Lake, its coun
ty seat, is one of the best cities Of its
size in the whole northwest, and VIC
believe that both the city and county
would be bettered if we could have 8
County fair each year. Other countie:
around us are having their fairs and
making them a success, and we fee
positive that if the right kind of an eff.
fort was put forth that we could out dc
them all. Such thing would be 8
great benefit to all, and especially the
farmers, as it would create enthusiasm
along all kinds Of farming lines, ani
no doubt would be the means of en-
couraging more stock raising and mix
ed farming. 1t is too late, probably
to have fair here this year, but il
Is none too early to start the ball roll
ing for one next year. Just who We
would lcok to to head the proposition
we do not know, but we feel sure that
if the matter was taken up, either BY
the local Commercial Club, or any, othel
organization of the county that i
would receive hearty support.
