POLITICS..

The local political situation became
more complicated when It was announ-
ced that the attorney general had rem
dered an opinion to the effect that q
ckholder in street railway COM
pany is ineligible for any city office.
This would put Thomas Higgins COM
pletely out OF the running and would
leave Alderman Arthur Schuetze as
the only valid candidate for mayor al
the primary. MIR. Higgins is reported
to have said thas he is planning to sur
render his franchise which has about
20 years still to run and take an inde-
terminate permit from the Railroad
Commission He has been planning
this for years and has the papers all
ready. IL is thought that surrender ng
the franchise will terminate the 'con-
tract" with the city for public service
and thus remove the factor that rem
ders Mr.. Higs ins ineligible.
The belief persists that an attempt
will surely be made to nominate May
or Stolze by writing in his name on
the primary ballots next week. II
Mr.. Higgins is not a legal nominee
the mayor could very easily run second
by written in votes and thus 60 on the
April ballot with Mr. Schuetze. If
Schuetze and Higgins are both lawful
candidates on the primary ballot the
mayor will have to outnumber one of
them by written in votes, a thing that
will require some considerable effort.
AT the spring election the voters OF
the county, outside of the cities OF
Manitowoc and Two Rivers, will be
called upon to elect county superin.
tendent of schools. The nominations
for this Office are made by nomination
papers without recourse to the prim-
ary. The present incumbent, G. w.
Meisnest, is candidate for reelection
and he will have no opposition. He
has made I very satisfactory superin-
tendent. He has worked untiringly
for the advancement of the schools with
good results. In short, Mr.. Meisnest is
the right man in the right place.

CHURCHE ES WHICH CATER TO
VERYDAI LIFE ARE NOW
IN DEMAND.

There is a billion dollars worth of
church buildings IN the United States.
No other such large investment has Il
lower efficiency, as these buildings are
occupied. at most, less than 10 hours a
week. The preachers average only
$50 90 a month
The time has come To stop this SEN
timental waste. To consolidate
churches, to hire better preachers and
pay them more, preachers must
learn community development. They
must learn to keep books, to standard
ize labor and products. To become
the friend and advisor in business
way. The theological seminary which
trains its graduates to be buslnesslike
is the one which will get the students.
The modern theology teaches a man
how to die by teaching him how to
live. "He serves God best who serves
his fellowmen"

LETTER FROM GENERAL SHERMAN
The following extract from private
letter by Gen. Sherman to friend in
New York exhibits the magnanimity
and modesty of the man:
Col. Ewing arrived today, and bore
me many kind tokens from the North,
but none rave me more satisfaction
than to know that they watched with in
terest my efforts in the national cause
| do not think human-heing could feel
more kindly toward an enemy than | do
toward the people of the South, and |
daily pray to see the day when they
and their chileren will thank me as
one who labored to secure and main
tain government worthy the lane we
have inherited, and strong enough to
secure our children the peace and Sc
curity denied us. Judging from the
press, the world magnties my deeds
above their true value, and fear the
future may not realize its judgment.
But whatever may befall me, know
that you will be a generous and charit.
able critic, and will encourage one
who only hopes in this struggle to do n
mans share.
With great respect, your friend, and
admirer.
w. II. Sherman
Major General.

Didn't Look Much Like Hard
Times in Western Canada.

A. Meyer. who left one of the best
Counties in Minnesota probably be-
cause he got good price for his ex-
cellent farm, and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent. His story is we'll
worth repeating. He says:
ITO say I was greatly surprised
when reached Saskatchewan and Al
berta would be expressing 1t mildly.
In country where so much suffering
was reported, I found everyone in
good circumstances, and especially
all our friends who have left Clearwa-
ter and Polk counties. They all have
good homes and those who were re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack of feed, found with their barns
full Of stock, and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from 100 acres to two sections Of the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres

best opportunities for securing good
home with a farm and independence
for life in short time. Before l
started l heard that prices were so
high. Flour was reported at $12 per
hundred it is $4.25 here. In the west
all the groceries can be purchased
for nearly the same as in MINI. The
only article that I found higher
was kerosene at 35 cts per gallon.
