At the annual convention of the
association of Life Insurance
Presidents held in New York City
recently, a report was made upon
the causes of premature deaths
among two million policy-hold-
ers of forty-three leading COM
panies of the United States and
Canada. A conclusion was reach
ed, after careful and scientific in
vestigation. that among moderate
drinkers an average Of four years
was cut from, their lives. Mr.. Ar
thur Hunter, tactuary. :; of New
York, in commenting upon the.
report says:
IF the government of Russia
carries out it's present intention
to abolish permanently :. all
forms of alcoholic beverages, the
saving in human life will be enor-
nous. It is not too much to- say
that the loss of 100000 men as
the result of the present warfare
could be made good in less than
ten years through, complete absti-
nence from alcoholic beverage
by all the inhabitants Of Russia"

censored editorials? How long will
it allow fake editorial matter and
colored press dispatches to go on
stimulating or lulling to sleep the
public sentiment of the state as
the process of stimulation or pa
ralysis is desired by the stalwart
republican machine?
The methods of the stalwart
machine leaders are of course the
only methods for them to pursue.
They are clever methods too. They
deceive a large number of fairly
intelligent men and women. They
will only be overcome when the
common man of the state stops
being hoodwinked and brings to
bear upon state politics the same
horse-sense he uses in other af-
fairs of life.

DECIDEDLY INCORRECT
Devils Lake Journal)

\DCRllS AdhC
The Courier-News of Fargo
makes editorial comment on Gov
ernor Hanna's recent appoint
ments, to the effect that the re-
appointment of the present board
of control composed of Lewis
Brewster and Jackson, is gener-
ally satisfactory to the people of
the state. This editorial comment
is decidedly incorrect. The people
of the state may view the reap
pointment of these men with in
difference, with cynical complac-
ency, with disgust, or with dis
couragement, but not with "sat-
isfaction."
The incomplete and fragment
airy reports published concerning
the investigation of the board of
control in the matter of the
jamestown asylum confirm most
of the ugly rumors which have
been floating about the state for
some time.
1t is now established that 1.-The
board of control, holding most
prominent position in the Hanna
business administration" mis-
applied great sums of state funds
1t is culpably negligent and pos
sibly criminal in it's extravaganza
and lack of consideration for the
unfortunates who have been in
mates of the institution. If one
tenth of the rottenness, the extra
vagance, the shifty financing of
this stalwart board of control
were displayed by officials hostile
to the stalwart machine, there is
no question but what the Grand
Forks Herald, the Fargo Courier
News, the Fargo r'orum,. the Bis
marck Tribune, would permit
the fact in daily scare head lines,
crying for official action to re-
move the recreants who were re-
sponsible for such public out
rage.
. But no such cutlery is made.
The guilty men are servants of
the stalwart republican machine
of the great state of North Dako-
ia. Therefore, they are protected.
Their glazing incompetency and
their unrivalled disregard of duty
are CLOSED over, concealed, be-
Titled.
All of which goes to show how
really we'll served is the state ma
chine in the matter Of docile da-
ily neWSDaDerS.
How long will North Dakota put
up with this situation? How long
will it swallow censored news and

CHURCHES GAIN 7es, os7

Religious bodies of all denom-
nations gained 763,O87 new mem
bers in the United States last
year, according to the figures
compiled by the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in Am
erica. This includes not only
Christian but. other sects. The
total number of church men,
bers is now 38,7O8,t49.
The gains while large are less
than half what they were in 1918
when 100000 new members
were taken in. On the other hand
the increasd in the number ol
Ministers was more than. twice
as large az in 1919. These curl
Gus mutations are difficult to ex-
piain," says the record.
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1915-02-25
Methodists Lead In Gain

All Ine larger denominations
made gains. The largest was made
by the Methodists, who added
231,46O new members. The Ro-
man Catholic Church gained 1885,
$50, the Baptists 122,125, the Luz
therans, 56,24S, the Presbyter-
ians 5000, the Eastern Orthodox
churches, $4,000, the German
Evangelical Synod, 29,3i5, and
the Protestant Episcopal church
2S,641.
The Roman Catholics, accord
ing to the figures, have gained
nearly million and quarter
since 1910, and more than five
and one-half millions since 1901.
The second largest denomination,
the Methodists, have gained near
ly 100000 since 1900. The figures
show that the Episcopalians have
now more than 100000. They
gained SO, 1913 since 1910, and
more than 100000 since 1900.
The average increase in all
churches in 1914 was 2 per cent.
There are nine religious bodies
having more than million men,
bers. The Roman Catholics have
l3,79l.637, the Methodist Episco-
pal. 1908, 265, the Southern Bap-
lists. 2,592,2l7; Presbyterian
North, i.4l2,49S, Disciples of
Christ. l.363.l6 Northern Bap-
lists, l,2383,23; Protestant Epis-
copal, i,0l5,23e.
No Jewfsn Statistics
Some denominations with large
memberships furnished no stat
istics. The Jewish church, for in
stance. is one of these. The lat
est stitistics available are the
Government census figures of
1906, and according to the Jewish
custom, only heads of families
are counted. While the number of
Jewish communicates is reckoned
at $4,000: the council estimates
that the total number connected
with the Jewish congregation is
100000.
Christian Scientists refuse to
tell what their membership is,
with the result that nothing is
known of their strength since
1907, when the sect had $1,000
members. The only one of the six
different kinds of Adventists that
made any progress was the Seven
Day contingent, which added los
new members.
The Shakers have SIG members.
