PREACHING AND FIGHTING.

General Funston and the ministers
are in controversy. According to th'
ministers the general has censored the
sermons. The ministers may not hole
revival meetings or argue to the "un-
saved soldier that he is lost" Gen
eral Funston, the ministers say. will no,
have it.
1t is not of history that religious
fervor ever hurt soldier for fighting
purposes. On the contrary thought
turns at once and naturally to Crom
wells Ironsides who rode down the
proudest soldiery of the world sword IN
hand and bible at saddle bow; whose
nasal preachments rose everywhere in
camp and who prayed aloud above
their levelled pixies as they swept over
and into utter rout the cavalier armies
whose courage is as unquestioned as
that of Claioourne gamecock in Ken
lucky The old Scotch cOvenanter who
died dourly for his faith under the lin
tel of his own doorway, the Arab who
faces machine guns with a spear and
gaspipe musket, that fuzzy wuzzy' Oh
whom Kipling sings as a first class
fighting man who broke British
square. these and innumerable in
stances prove that religious faith and
fervor in all races never checked
charge or lost a redoubt where any
lighting men might go or stay.
Battle and blood are mainly an u11-
christian business: but it is not in evil
dence from Joshua to Funston that
preaching to soldiers ever injured their
efficiency as lighters. There is plenty
of historical evidence, however that
the best trained troops find unframed
adversaries inspired by faith foes
worthy of their best steel.
1t would be interesting to know the
basis for the generals conclusion. The
layman in war and religion might as
sumo that the soldier exposed to temp
tations or engaged in war would be an
excellent object for the efforts OF the
preachers and aside from individual
needs may wonder why an inspiration
TO encourage in the face of deadly
danger proved by centuries of warfare
shouldn't appeal TO the general who di-
reefs the battle and who hopes to win
thru the determination and efficiency of
his men.

woman Of the house about it. The in
vestigator might find thousand such
families while he was recruiting one
diet squad.
When the investigation was over ii
would be found that the secret Of get

for food rests on two piers, the man
who earns it and the woman who
makes the most Of 1t. That's where the
household economy has it's bearings.
Somehow if both are capable and earn

ways in school, the house is comfort

sufficient whether the minimum is %
cents day for food per member or
more. And If one or both is incapable

This may appear like trifling incl
dent, but 1t has a deeper significance
It means that a crazy man was SEM
on his way to pursue his Vagarles
among the public. What new turn his
poor mind will take Is hard TO conceive
1t is possible that he may desire to ac-
duire some more wealth and that a
crazy notion may impel him to STAY
some one to get 1t. He may be moved
to commit an assault upon some girl
or woman. AS disclosed by his actions,
the man is absolutely unaccountable.
The insane hospitals turnout the coun-
try are filled with patients more ra-
tional.
The Gazette believes the Davenport
police department or any other police
department that releases from their
custody an insane person is guilty of
criminal negligence. Just because the
man was not a citizen Of Scott county
and because the county or city did not
care to assume the expense of his care
In order to save few dollars this
menace to society is liberated to pursue
his distorted fancies whittier they die

Davenport police may consider this
joke, but it is the gravest possible mis-
take a stupid and ineXcusable blum
der that may react at any time.
The Gazette does not recall that any
time an insane person picked up by the
local authorities was not fully investi-
gated and who was not detained. even
at the expense OF Des Moines county.
This is as 1t should be. 1t Is far better
or us to take care Of such unfortunates
than to shunt them on to some other
community.
