SOME SENSE TO THIS

The following is from the pen of
Rev. Washington GLADDEN., one of the
most prominent protestant clergy
men in the United States, taken from
Harper's Weekly: The subject is
handled in common sense, chari-
table manner, and is worthy of
thought, study and considerations:
"The fact is, that we have got to
learn to live together in this country
Protestants and Catholics. The only
question is whether we shall live to.
gether in peace or enmity. If we are
to have peace, we must study the
things that make for peace. Each
party must be ready to see the good
for the other; must learn to put the
best and not the worst construction
OH the words and deeds of the other.
Must avoid all bitterness and un-
charitable judgments; must put
away all thoughts of denomination
There is no worse enemy of Christ and
His church than the man who seeks
to inAame and poison the minds of
either Catholics or Protestants with
suspicious and resentments and enmi-
ties toward the other.

THE CALL ANSWERED

The democratic majority in the
United States senate has been in-
creased six votes by the election of
fhelan, of California, Johnson, of
South Dakota, and Husting, of Wis
consin; but their election has increas-
ed the lighting strength of the demo-
Gratis in the senate more than the
mere voting strength would indicate.
The three new senators from the
| northwestern and Pacific slope states
are men of wide acquaintance with
public affairs, have been identified
for years with the fight for progress
sive democratic principles, and are
known in their respective states as
men who will not compromise with
wrong and men who are fearless in
their advocacy of the peoples rights.
The west has answered the president s
call for help. 1t has not only main
tanned its democratic representation
in the lower house, but it has made a
splendid contribution to the demo-
cratic side in the upper branch of
congress. The democratic majority
in the senate after March will be
sufficient to enable the administra-
tlon to pass its measures through
that body without unnecessary delay,
and the three new senator's represent
ing states formerly represented by
republicans will have no small share
In the legislation to be considered by
that body during the next two years.

CONTESTS COUNTY SEATS

The line up for county seat contests
is being made in the new counties of
jackson and Hakkan which have been
created out of the western part of
Stanley county by the vote at the
late election. Apparently the con-
test in Hakkan county is to be be-
tween Philip and Midland. There
has been discussion of Milesville in
the northern part of the county off
the railroad getting into the game.
but this is said to be without founda-
ton. The residents of that place
were strongly opposed to county di-
vlsisn on the lines fixed and voted al
most solidly against the division,
their desire being for county of the
northwest corner to cut loose from
any railway towns, which would give
them chance. Philip was strong in
Its efforts for the present division.
and it is now claimed that the effort
OF Llkesville instead of being turned
toward securing a county seat at
Philip will be toward location at Mid
land in the south east corner of the
new county and many miles further
from Milesville than Philip is.

WAR BOOSTS PRICES

While much has been said and it
is true-of the rise in farm values
of this years grain crop, due to the
war, it is equally true that our crops
are far from being bumper crops
this year, taken as a whole. The
rise is strictly legitimate due to the
comparative shortage of supply and
the abnormal war.demand. If it had
not been for the war farmers would
have fe!s the losses of crop shortage
but the war has so stiffened prices
as to more than cover those losses.

THE POWER OF GOOD EXAMPLE

When politically good thing
comes out of Pennsylvania, the fact
is so rare as to make it noteworthy.
The other day Philadelphia tried a
remnant sale of a per cent bonds
direct to the people; 1926 900 were
offered at par, over the counter, first
come first served. In an hour and a
half the lot was exhausted and the
public clamored for $500, 600 more.
st. Paul's successful starting of
popular bond selling little over a
year ago exploded 16-inch shell in
one of the strongest forts of privi-
lege banking.
The fact that even boss ridden Penn
sylvania has reacted to this precedent
shows anew the power of a good
example.

DIVERSIFIED CROPS TO RULE

One outcome of the trouble the cot
ton planters of the south find them
selves in because the war has inter
fered with their market, has been a
very pronounced movement to do
away with the one crop system with
which large portion of the southern
states are afflicted, and to adopt
diversified farming instead. 1t is
probable this will be done. If it is,
not only the south but the whole
country will benefit.

new rule southern state is entitled
to only about half as many delegates

ern representation will be, since
there is no republican president to
