If the world is to haze the peace and prosperity it so talk among nations than among com binations of forcing the other fel- low to the wall by all means, fair and foul. That now lies war again, and further impoverishment and suffering: whereas if even a few leading nations will make common cause to bring to the people the sustenance which the Creator provided and ensure to every man his place and work in a com mon development, we shall not find the peace so hard to keep and the cost Of living so constant in its terrors.
 We Gan Help In World Peace.
 Nor is 1t too early to take thought for another end which we are not like ly to reach before we think of it. The unlimited rivalry of armaments will be abolished some time. Why not duty, even while we make ourselves safe against present contingencies, to look to the future and either lead the way or be as prompt as any to fol- low? This Is an end to be reached by, common agreement: I am not one of LuOSS WIiO DSItcFS IIfstC fOflS I0dl Hd - ton throws away it's arms all the rest will hasten to do likewise. We shall have to act together toPreduce the burden. and we shall have to have some guarantee against disaster and repentancy It Is not enough to dis arm unless there is substituted for armament some more effective means of preserving security and order Such means exist, if men are men, not e1ods. They can be founde The United States can help to find then.. And If they are not found. imagination faints at the mad scramble which will follow the so-calied declaration of peace.

PRESENT NO ORDINARY SITUATION
mes Thick With Portent and Big With Promise Said Rev. Edward S. Worcester n Election Sermon Broad way Congregational Church-The Helm of the Ship of State Ought to be in Strong Wise Hands-Says Plat forms Temporary Convenences Created for the Ac- commodaton of Stump Speakers.

Has any election in the last twenty years invited us so unhesitatingly to leap into the dark? asked Rev. Ed- ward s. Worcester at the o'clock ser vice at the Broadway Congregational church on Sunday! At this service Rev. MT. Worcester preached an elec- tion sermon which was especially ap- propriate inasmuch as the presidential election comes on Tuesday. Whether we meet 1t in an ordinary way or not. the present is no ordinary situation, said Rev. MT. Worcester, Continuing he said: E1
 All agree that, importance events are in the making. No one knows just what they are. and so or course no one can tell exactly what he will do about them. But few. alasl are sug- gesting principles that we might seek to follow; we wait for events to fall upon us instead of making ready to meet and shape events. We seem to be playthings of history. and not it's fashioners. 0

Has any election in the last twenty years invited us so unhesitatingly to leap Into the dark? We can see that there is no very smooth sailing ahead and know therefore that the helm of the ship of state ought to be in strong wise hands. Various hands are of fered as possessing strength and wis dom, among which we might choose in ordinary times without special anxie- ty. But the times are not ordinary They are thick with portent and big with promise. We feel it. and we feel concerned to know not only our steersman's ability at the tiIler but the course he intends to steer, the ob- quieting that the chief ambition of president and congress and most of the aspirants to their places seems to be run before the wind and ship as little water as possible. With the uncertainty of the wind SO marked. this hardly makes @ satisfactory pro- gramme. Where shall we bring up If we follow 1t?

of the bare lives whose rescue was turned over to ourselves, what imposi- tiOns and tragedies at the expense of others have we not witnessed in si~ lence! A succession of shafts launch cd against ourselves has moved us in deed to intermittent protest, but with out clear result. All this some of us behold with deepening indignation and an ever increasing Sname of help lessness; for it is much easier to find fault with condition than to alter it.
 Lacking an objective, the choice be- tween parties and persons bewilders us-as for platforms, we have long since learned to regard them as tenn porary conveniences created for the accommodation of stump speakers!
 We should like some assurance that the candidate who looks fittest now for this or that office will not pres ently commit some folly like the Mc- Len1ore resolution. But in the pres ent poverty of standards enunciated and ends desired that assurance is not found.
 The Great Task That Rewards. There remains one great task. there I fore, after the duty of Tuesday has been performed to the best of our albil- ity-"we, the people the ultimate i sovereigns of America, must prepare
 to do some leading and formulate some 1 principles on our own account. We i must try to make clear to- ourselves 1 the objective best to seek; then we can insist on the steersman's taking US there.

Mind is Unbalanced d

Matthias Peterson, a young man
about thirty years of age who has
made this city his home for the past
seven years and has been employed as
plasterer and stone mason, was
brought over from Sta1buck Wednes-
day evening and was given a hearing
yesterday by the insanity board. His
mind is deranged and he will be sent
to the Fergus Falls asylum for treat
ment. His case is not regarded as
serious.
Peterson went to the Starbuck hos
rital shortly after Christmas to be
operated upon for an old malady.
Overwork and the shock following
the operation contributed to his pre-
sent condition. He is possessed of
considerable money and a guardian
will be appointed to look after his
affairs. Peterson is single man and
as far as known has no relatives in
this section of the country. He has
worked for Frank Hancock and Plast-
erer Gilbertson.

Popular Pastor Presides When
Royal Neighbors and Wood
men Have a Program

About every inch of available space
at Linne's hall was taken Tuesday
night when the Royal Neighbors and
Woodmen gave joint public installa-
tion followed by program of read
ings. music and toasts. The ceremon-
les were conducted, according to the
lodge rituals and greatly impressed
those who saw the work for the first
time.
Rev. Henry Nobbs, pastor of the
First Methodist church in this city,
presided as toast master and delighted
the ladies with a clever speech in re-
sponse to an address of welcome by
Miss McHugh. He called upon Thomas
Mangan to explain the bachelors pro-
spects during the present leap year
and Mr.. Mangan responded with a
brief flight of oratory bristling with
wit and wisdom supplemented with a
warning for those whose liberties may
be endangered from matrimonia al
snares. Nels Olson came to the res
cue of his bachelor friend Frank
Griffith when he was caught unprepared
to explain the question, "What is
home without a wife?" Mrs. r.
McCabe responded with toast to the
Woodmen. Miss Eckes delighted the
gathering with vocal solos with piano
accompaniment. Mrs. Trip gave
two recitations and Mrs. Cole recited
E'The Family Album Misses Eva
DeYoung and Ruby LeSage gave
readings and Mrs. Betters gave a
piano solo which received hearty en-
core. The program closed with the
audience joining in their singing of
"America.
Following the program the ladies
served a buffet lunch and made a dis
tinct hit with the excellence of their
coffee. A social hour was spent after
the refreshments were served and all
had a most enjoyable time.

TIRED OF PAYING

John Hanrahan Sees Desirability
of Making Permanent Invest
ment in City Home.

Having resided in Morris for a
period of twenty eight months during
which he has paid total rental of
$5O4 for the use of the two houses
he and his family have lived in, he
has deci ded to build a home of his
own on which he will have the car

COMPANY SETTLES
WITH FORK VICTIM
Workmen's Compensation Act
Invoked by Fred Carlson
Who Fell from Tank.

The Workingmen' s compensation act
which became state law in Mime
sofa recently worked to the advantage
of Fred Carlson last week when
he reached full settlement with the
Maryland Casualty Company for
claims on injuries which he received
last fall when he fell from a water
tank and was impaled on pitch fork
while at work on the Carney farm
near Morris. Carlson received a
check for $3.50 besides a settlement
of the Doctors fees and court ex-
penses. He was laid up over two
months following his injuries from
which he was not expected to recover
at the time of the accident.
Carlson was working with the Lu-
denia threshing machine as a tank
tender when the machine was moved
to the Carney farm. During the pro-
gress of operations he sought drink
from jug which he carried. He
was standing on the rear of the tank
when the horses started and he was
thrown forward and impa1ed on a
pitchfork which penetrated his body
to a depth of six inches and tore the
ligaments of the abdomen. IT,.
According to the new law his en-
ployer was responsible for the pay
ment of part of Carlson's salary
during the time of his illness by
reason of his injuries. Mr.. Ludenia
had provided insurance for his men in
case of accident and this covered Mr..
Carlson's case. At first the company
manifested no particular interest in
settling the claim in full after Carl
son had recovered. He sought the
services of Morris attorney and the
price of settlement went up like the
high cost of living. A representative
of the company appeared and a settle
rnent was arranged. Carlson says he
feels as good as new and will remain
in. Morris, till spring work opens up.

PIONEER WOMAN IS
CALLED BY DEATH
Mrs. Hugh Stinson, Resident of
Stevens County Thirty-nine
Years, is no More.

Another of the old and highly re-
spected pioneers of Stevens county
passed away last Monday morn
ing when Mrs. Letetia Stinson, widow
of Hugh Stinson, died at her home in
Morris at the advanced age of seventy
seven years, eleven months and six
days. She had been i'll but a short
time following paralytic stroke. She
had been resident of the county for
almost forty years and was we'll
known to all the early settlers in this

The funeral was held from the
home Tuesday afternoon with Rev.

as loving contributions of relatives
and friends of the dead. The remains

she remained few years and then
going to Winona, this state, where
she married Hugh Stinson and the
couple went to Hennepin county.
In March 1877 Mr.. and Mrs. Stinson
came to Morris. The Stinsons took
kindly interest as the new settlers
as the country began settling up and
Mrs. Stinson became we'll known and
popular. Mrs. Stinson was a woman
of strong religious tendencies and wor-
shipped as a Presbyterian.
Besides many friends, Mrs. Stinson
leaves eight grown-up children to
mourn her departure. They are VIII
