JEFFERSON RETURNS
 SENT TO CAPITAL
Nesmith Forwards Certified Copy to Chairman Goodwin at
 Montgomery

The certified copy of the Jefferson coun- ty returns of the recent primary election April 6. were mailed by c. c. Nesmitil Friday night and should have reached Tyler Goodwin, chairman of the state democratic executive committee. yester- day at noon.
 As is remembered, MT. Goodwin ha1 previously issued a statement that if the returns were not received by Saturday, he would send man to Birmingham tn investigate.
 The late hour in which the returns reached headquarters was due to a mis- understanding. The returns were certi- fed Monday night and signed by Judge Nesmith. chairman. They were turned over to John Abbott, secretary of the committee, and 1t Is thought that they were lost or misplaced in the mails.
 The returns from every county of the state will be tabulated and made official by the state committee at its meeting in Montgomery Tuesday.

which followed shortly after his appoint ment.
 And MT. Conner. as is remembered named s. D. Wea1ley of Birmingham chief justice of the supreme court. MT Weakley was overwhelmed by his op- ponent in the following primary. MT Lusk, who desired seat or the bench of the supreme court. MT. Lusk followed the entire field at the polls.
 Conner followers have endeavored to prove by the defeat of Frank Julian and Leon Mecord. associate railroad com missioners, that the people have repudi- ated the recent settlement of the rail road warfare
 Mr Cooper and Mir Gilard, success full candidates, were strong men in their own right 1t is not altogether fair to them to give as the sole reason for their achievement alleged shortcomings of their opponents.
 As d matter of fact, the people defeated Julian and McCord, not because they made the settlement, but because, after having made 1t, they differed as to the wisdom of what they had done. If Julian had not been quoted as having said that
 
 been reelected The people do not like 10 vote for a man who admits that he has been outgeneraled in a combat of wits.
 MT. Conner during the first campaign vigorously assailed Tyler Goodwin, chairman of the state democratic ex- ecutive committee. and assailed the chairman in the same breath that he assailed the committee for having adopted the double primary system.
 IL has been a well known fact since long before the committee met that Mr. Goodwin favored the single primary plan. If he had had vote he would have opposed the double primary plan with his ballot.
 Mr. Conner contributed to the defeat of Mir. Goodwin and to the success of Gen. Bibb Graves, who was and is still manager of MT Comer's campaign for the. southern half of the state.
 It was interesting, therefore, when the father of MT. Goodwin, Capt. A. T. Goodwin, of Elmore county, presided at the recent Conner celebration in Bir mingham
 MT. Seeds contribution to the cam paign has been the richest. As is re- four years ago MT. Seed re- tired from the gubernatoria1 race in the interest of Colonel Mallory. He was then promised the support of prohibi- tionists, real and political, in the next campaign.
 In the next campaign, which was the recent campaign, he was betrayed by the political prohibitionists, who not only refused to give him a whole souled indorsement, put knifed him at the polls.
 During the struggle MT Seed as sailed MT. Conner on every stump, charging him with many crimes. de- claring that he could not prove any deccnt percentage of his utterances,

Editor of The Gazette
1t may be of interest to your
readers to know that Gustaf Metag,
who was serving a life sentence at
Saltwater, and who has recently been
paroled, was converted to the Christ
ian life here in our County jail,
through the efforts of our Jail Sup
erintendent, Mrs. VIM. Tiffany and
others of our White Ribboners.
We have kept in touch with him
through all these long years of his
Imprisonment and Mrs. Tiffany has
never failed to send him letter of
cheer and encouragement every year
at Christmas time, and he in turn
has answered telling of his prison
life and of his faith and his hope
that some day he might again be

CHRISTIAN UNITY

To The Redwood Gazette
The following sketch can hardly
be called a review of the excellent
addresses made by the Rev. William
Jobusch, of the Presbyterian church
in Redwood Falls and published in
your paper, but really only calling
attention to some things in them, that
to my mind need emphasis or cor
rection.
The Christian world today is in
hearty accord with his ideal. The
world will only be won to Christ
through a united church. This is
clearly recognized on the mission
fields and everywhere the question of
division is covered, all that it can be,
and unity of teaching is sought, that
inquirers may not be confused in
their search after God and His sal
walton, which has been promised
through the Christ For example, III
Nankin, China, we have a union uni
versity under the joint direction Of
three bodies of Christians, to-wit, the
Methodists, Presbyterians and the
Churches of Christ. The instructors
in this school have the fullest free
dom of ccrscience in their teaching
The Bible is the rule Of authority
and its word is the final resort.
Mr.. Jobusch seems to occupy al
most the identical ground of Thomas
and Alexander Campbell at the be-
ginning of their work little more
than one hundred years ago. They
were members of the Seceeder Pres
byterian Church and began their work
long before they were led to give NJ
infant baptism, and submit them
selves to believers baptism BY i'm
mersion. They felt obliged to do this
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1914-02-10

and there is no clashing Ct thought
on account of their motto of, "Where
the Bible Speaks, we will speak ano
where the Bible is silent, we will be
silent" They determined to respect
both the voice and silence Of God.
They were pleading for Christian
unity and believed that return TO
the Word of God would be the step
that if taken by all Christians would
lead to the uniting of the followers
of Christ. This work of unity must
begin within the church and the
leaders realize that fact and now we
have in all the great bodies OF the
tchurch Commissions on Christian
Unity, who are studying this great
question
It is yet early to state the ground
of unity but there some things that
seem to be pretty clear. The Bible
from the standpoint of Jesus will be
the guide of the united church, He
was the Son of God, the one Mediator
between God and men. God manifest
in the flesh, the one authorized to
speak for the Father on the earth,
and he did speak. If we will hear
His voice as given in the New Testa-
ment from His own lips in the gospels
and as interpreted by his apostles in
the Acts and Epistles we will be
brought together into the one fold,
and there will be one Lord and one
peoplel.
The form of government for the
united church will be, l believe, that
of the New Testament: Congrega
tional in form, under the direction of
the local officers, as planned in the
letters of Timothy and Titus and hav-
ing only such union with the church
es outside of themselves as will Sc
cure the greatest efficiency in win
ming the world to Christ. The name
of the united church will be without
a doubt that name now common to
the church. The name of its Savior
to whom relation to is spoken as of
that of bride to her husband. When
the day comes that the Redwood Falls
Christians are able to speak of the
Church Of Christ in Redwood Falls
without division all working together
for the building up the Kingdom Of
God it will have dignity and power
never even dreamed Of in these days.
May that time come speedily, not
only to your little city but to all the
millions that name the name of
Christ.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Mrs. Pratt and Miss Gilmore were
visitors at the High School Monday
afternoon of this week.
Twenty lockers have been installed
in the Domestic science room for the
use of girls of sewing department.
These lockers were made by the boys
of our manual training department.
We are all proud of the new cabinet
which has been placed in the Domes-
tic Science room. This large cabinet
was made in the manual training de-
partment. The girls of the first year
cooking class had the honor Of hav-
ing their pictures taken with this cab
met.
The lunches served to the rural
pupils at Is cents per week, by the
girls of second year cooking class, are
decided success.
Today the girls of the second year
cooking class will go to the meat
market for practical lesson and dem
onstration in the selection and cutting
of meats.
Luncheons planned and served by
groups of four girls of cooking II.
classes are to be given in the future.
The first one viii be given Thursday
of this week.
The "class play" selected is "The
Fifteenth of January" The popular
play '1at the End of the Rainbow by
the same author was successfully
given two years ago. Announcements
including the cast of characters will
be given later.
The profound interest in the ma
chinery of our Federal Government
and incidentally the desire for a half
credit has caused forty-one students
to enroll in our civics class.
The number of GIRLS who have en-
rolled for Gymnasium is beyond the
expectation of the teachers. The ex-
, ercises are held in the kindergarten
room of the grade building. The
freshmen and Sophomore girls meet
Tuesday at 4:30; the Junior and
Senior Girls meet Wednesday at 4:30.
This is a fine thing for the girls and
we appreciate the efforts of Misses
Hosmer and Smith who are the in
structors.
The Boys Club is becoming one of
the best organized activities in the
high school. At it's meeting last
Tuesday the conditions which should
determine persons selection for a
life work was discussed, Andy Lusch-
er and Robert johnson being the
leaders. The questions brought up
and ideas advanced show how serious
ly the boys are already viewing their
later prospects in life. At the meet
ing this week the relative advantage
of university and small college will
be discussed.
As an evidence of the interest of
the boys in their club, they have cleo
ted two delegates, Ira Rogers and
Andy Luscher, to attend the older
boys conference held in connection
with the State Y NJ. C. A., convention
at Mortified the latter part of this
week. 1t is probable reports Of the
convention will be given at the next
meeting.

years / became an apprentice in a
great Wooden Mill, hundreds of boys
Of my age and older were working
there and they would taunt me be-
cause / would not drink or smoke,
they said if / wanted to be man l
must smoke and drink. All boys like
to be men so of course I got a pipe
and went to smoking. / shall never
forget that first smoke, but l kept
right on until l could do as well as
the rest.
Not very long after I began to
smoke l began to feel a desire for
something stronger than water, at
that time did not know that the
desire was created by the tobacco I
was using.
1t was here that / took my first
drink and Of course other drinks would
follow that first one, until finally it
became a habit which kept growing
slowly but surely. But there came
time when I awoke-I began to
realize the full danger was in and
| tried earnestly to break away from
the liquor but l could not do it; the
habit had become too strong.
My eyes were now wide open and
I could plainly see the degrading eff
feet it had upon me.
One cannot continually pour poison
into his body without poisoning his
mind also; yes, his very soul. When
a mans mind has become affected
the habit has become disease and
a man with a diseased mind is ire
sponsible for his actions he is like
ship at sea without rudder. was
still fighting the habit when that
great thunderstorm swept me into
prison, but this seemingly terrible
misfortune has proved to be my sal
walton in moral sense, it tended to
bring out the good that was with
in me. The good seed had been
planted in my early youth by Christ
ian mother, and although nearly
smothered by rank growth of weeds
it was not dead
This great thunderstorm swept
away all the weeds and rubbish that
had accumulated, which gave the good
seed an opportunity to exert itself,
to grow up and spread out until it
now covers the entire ground with
Gods help for all time to come. Now,
as / was trying to make man of my
self, a real man, one that would be
master over his habits l often wished
for a chance to try my will power
against the temptation for strong
drink. 1t was then that the thot oc-
cured to newly not try your
strength on the tobacco habit, it is
nearly. if not wholly as bad?
After severe struggle l have con-
quered. There is no doubt in my
mind but that tobacco is great cause
of intemperance and / firmly believe,
had / not been ignorant of this fact
my life would have been different.
Just a few words of advice to the
boys:
Beware of the first drink, it is the
most dangerous, and beware of those
friends who will continually tell you
to, come in and have something, and
never do anything you would have
to hide from your mother, she is your
best and most faithful friend on the
face of the earth.
Yours sincerely,
GUSTAV METAG.
