The evangelistic meetings in the
Adamston Methodist Episcopal
church have started on the third
week with most encouraging out
look. Church people are working
splendidly and the entire town Is
awakened. Monday night the attend
ance was good, though the weather
was inclement. The sermon on
"Bartering Away the Birthright' was
eloquent and forceful.
Sunday was the greatest day In the
history of the meetings. At II o'clock
a. m. Evangelist George s. Baggett
preached on Building According to
Pattern" taking for his text Heb. So:
See that thou make all things ac-
cording to the pattern showed to thee
on the mount"
The sermon was strong appeal
for the development of character In
accordance with the divine ideal. Man

At the close of the sermon the
larger part of the congregation came
forward and engaged in a short con-

HOW Long Will It L,ast2

How long 1t will be possible for

not only those who have the standing

There was no attempt to explain
this apparent immunity Of the mar

on the ground that there had been
so many "crises" of the kind that

way, are in marked contrast to the

How long will 1t be before the peo-

And when the people do realize these

Around the State

The democrats will hold a
"love-feast' at Fargo on the 22d
OF this month. 1t will be a love-
feast in name only, however, as
the democratic ranks have been
hopelessly split ever since DEM
ocratic president was elected and
the democrats have had large
quantities of political pie to dis
tribute. The regular democratic
organization on one hand and an
other faction led by u. S. Treas
urer John Burke on the other
have caused the ruction.
Hal S. Davis, city editor of J.
II. Blooms daily at Devils Lake,
has been appointed postmaster in
that city and thus ends one of
the bitterest fights over patron
age ever known in the nations
history. Blooms wife was given
the appointment year or so ago
by President Wilson through the
efforts of John Burke, u. S.
treasurer and former governor of
this state. The senate refused to
ratify the appointment after a
bitter fight led by Senator Gron-
na. After congress adjourned
MIR. Wilson gave ]. Fl. Bloom the
recess appointment. The thing
has hung fire until recently.
Bismarck is beginning to show
signs of awakening in the capitol

state show that Bismarck has left
many sore spots. but that when
the final battle comes the western
part ol the state ana slope cOun-
try will rally to her support. On
the other hand, the eastern cities
which have state institutions will
quietly give New Rockford "the
hook" for fear that the removal
of the capital would establish a
precedent that would keep every
institutional city keyed to a high
fighting pitch to protect their in
terests. 1t is certain that if the
capital should be moved by any
unforeseen accident, many an in
