Swedish Lutherans
Dedicate Fine Church

The new Swedish Lutheran church
held dedication exercises on Sunday.
There was a large attendance from out
OF town, many pastors from different
points of the state also being here to
assist in the services.
The morning services were from
1890 to II, and after the opening
hymn, the dedicatory address was de-
Ayered by Rev. E. F. Alison, of Bis
marck, president of the Bismarck dis
srict. Following this there was a vo-
cal solo by Miss Florence Hedstrom,
and the dedicatOry address was given
in English by Rev Carl Solomonsin, of
Fergus Falls, MINI. A violin solo by
Miss Adohpha Hedstrom preceded
the dedicatory exercises in which all
the pastors took part. The dedicatory
offering was large one, and the sing
ing Of Swedish hymn concluded the
morning service.
The afternoon session was held from
2:30 to 5. 1t was opened with the sing.
ing of Swedish hymn, and services in
Swedish were conducted by Rev. G. O.
Schoberg, of Fargo. Miss Florence
Hedstrum then gave a vocal number,
after which Rev. J. E. Liljedal, of Sa-
lima, Kan, former pastor of the
church, gave talk in English. Miss
Adolpha Hedstrum then gave violin
solo, and an address in English by
Rev. Valberg, of Underwood and the
singing of hymn closed the afternoon
exercises.
In the evening at o'clock, after the
opening song, English services were
conducted by Rev. j. Edor Larson, of
Gwinner. After another vocal number
by Miss Hedstrum, services in Swedish
we're conducted by Rev. A. G.. Olson
of Flasher. Rev. ]. E. Liljedahl then
gave two vocal numbers, and these
were followed by the closing hymn
which concluded the exercises for the
day.
Mrs. Schoberg, of Fargo, Andrew
Erickson and family, of Finley, Ole
Johnson and family, of Finley, Peter
o. Selander and family, of Luverne,
and Ben Johnson and family, of Litch-
vile, were among those who were here
to attend the dedication. The church
is one of the finest of the Swedish
Lutheran churches in this district, and
the congregation has reason to be
proud of their new edifice. Rev. E. A.
Hartell is the pastor.

be not merely bent seriously inward, but
actually broken, letting through a flood
of troops to divide the Teutonie force
into two sections. incapable of effective
cooperation or speedy mutual reinforce
ment.
Experience heretofore in the war has
proved that the new device, startling
and apparently irresistible as it first ap-
pears, has its limitations and leads to
reactions. The enormous siege gun of
the Germans, the first surprise of the
war, after smashing the fixed fort, was
eventually discounted by the develop
ment of field entrenchments. Barbed
wire, which seemed to- make charges i'm
possible, was soon set comparatively at
naught by the evolution of wire cutting
artillery fire. Poison gas, which ap
peared to promise complete demorali-
zation of the troops, was checkmated by
the invention of gas masks. Now. comes
the motor battery, the tank, and it re-
mains to be seen whether it, too, will
meet its match in some counter inven-
ton. or will be adopted by the other
side, and thus added to the fixed para
phernalia of war.

door until 1924-too long look ahead
even for a man of Mr. Roosevelt's age.
If Mr. Hughes is defeated, new leader
will be necessary in 1920, and Mr.. Roose-
velt. now back in the old party, will try
for the nomination without incurring the
criticism he met at Chicago in June last
as to asking for an honor from party
to WHICH at that time he did not belong.
But while it is probably true that
neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr. Roosevelt
has parted with personal ambition-men
of their age and experience and quality
rarely do-neither is fairly open to the
charge in question. Mr.. Roosevelt dis
likes Mr.. Wilson quite as much as Mr..
Bryan does Mr.. Hughes, and both have
a powerful incentive to exert themselves
sincerely in this campaign. Both are
doing so. Mr.. Bryan is on the eve of
taking the stump, and Mr.. Roosevelt is
arranging his plans to the SAME end.
Pity they cannot be converted into n
joint stump attraction.

The Campaign Against Hughes.

Vice President Marshall is on the
stump at home, and in speech delivered
Saturday said:
II do not sleep all the time in the Sen
ate. l wake up now and then and hear
word or two that is being said, and as
Candidate Hughes speaks / can tell
whose notes he is using"
This cuts both ways. While awake in
the presiding officers chair Mr.. Marshall
hears both sides; and Mr.. Hughes might
be able, if he cared. to point out whose
notes the Vice President is now using.
AS matter of fact, neither Mr..
Hughes nor Mr.. Marshall is using any
body's notes. Each is amply able to pre-
pare his own notes. Each necessarily is
covering ground which has already been
covered by others. Which is to say that
many of the stumping topics are the
same topics senators have recently been
discussing in the Senate chamber. At
that time Mr.. Marshall as Vice Presi-
dent had no voice, and during the
greater part of the time Mr. Hughes was
barred from all political discussion by
his judicial Office.
This is not the first time, however, that
Mr.. Hughes has been subjected to this
criticism. While on his tour to the Pa
cific coast and back he addressed large
audiences, and received gratifying vel

stated that his meetings we're "frosts,"

A story preceded him that he was an

yards. Strangers found the cand idate
anything but that. he met them on
their own ground, and discussed subjects
in familiar and red -blooded way.
Another indictment was that Mr..
Hughes could not 60 beyond faultfnd-
ing; that he had no plans for remedying
the evils he described. And yet in all
he was saying could be traced plans for
better things.
The campaign against Mr.. Hughes
must be pitched in different key if
the country is to be impressed. BE is

The Now War Machine.

EnthnGiasm il reported to be running
high In England over the achievements
OF the new tanks" or motor field bat
teriss which have proved their value in
the recent British drive on the Somme
front. Marvellous feats are attributed
to them, apparently impossible perform
ances such as crushing their way through
the ruins Of villages, reaping paths
forests and climbing walls. Prob
ably some Of these accounts are colored
by the delight of the English correspond
ents at witnessing a veritable inventive
achievement in war enginery, scoring
against the products Of German labora-
tories and shops. Yet enough remains
of evident truth to justify large de-
gree of optimism regarding the possibili-
ties of this new creation, which renders
the infantry charge against an entrench-
ed position much more effective than
ever before.
David Lloyd George in a statement
warns the British public against expect
ing. too much of this motor battery,
which is hardly ont of the experimental
stage. As in the case Of every mechan-
ism, it is liable to arrangements. II

Bryan and Roosevelt.
The New York Sun

The New York Sun:
"The administration is not yet quite
certain whether Brother Bryan bears an
olive branch or . stiletto."
Why suspect Mr.. Bryanf He seems
to be "toting fair" He may not love
Mr.. Wilson over much, but certainly he
does not love Mr.. Hughes at all 1t was
Mr.. Hughes who more than any other
republican spellbinder contributed to Mr..
Bryan's defeat in 1908. The great force
Of the Youngstown speech was acknowl-
edged both by Mr.. Taft, in whose behalf
it was made, and by Mr.. Bryan, whose
candidacy it destructively dissected.
The difficulty may be in the character
Of Mr.. Bryan's opposition. Mr.. Wilson
wants the campaign conducted on high
and non-personal plane. But If Orator
Bryan on the stump handles the repub-
lican candidate after the fashion of Edi-
tor Bryan in the Commoner, Mr.. Wilson
cannot be pleased, and may not be bene-
flied
Gossip more entertaining than persua-
sive is playing around the activities Of
both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt in
this campaign As the stories 60, neither
man would be inconsolahe at the de-
feat Of the candidate he is supporting.
In Mr.. Bryan's case the argument runs
like this: If Mr.. Wilson II defeated he
will be done for permanently, and new
leader for the democracy be necessary in
1920. Enter Mr.. Bryan again. If Mr..
Wilson is reelected he viii try to name
his successor, and he will not try to
name Mr.. Bryan.

runs like this: If Mr.. Hughes is elected
he will be renominsted and probably re-

A Veterans Advice.

Gen. Basil w Duke of Kentucky, an
e1-Confederate soldier of distinction.
died in New York the other day. In
recent interview he had expressed the
hope that the United States might soon
have an army of a quarter OF million
men, and four hundred thousand militia
men easily modified. He then added:
"There's always going to be war. Ma
tions will always fight, no matter how
sublime the pacifsts make the image
of peace. Therefore, the nation which IS
not prepared will be crushed"
beginning of the civil war found him a
young lawyer with good prospects at the
bar and in politics. But, as SO many
other young men did, he took sides, and
served through the great struggle. At
its close he returned TO his profession,
and addressed himself to practice for the
remainder of his life.
He never, however, forgot his expert
ence as q soldier, and what it had taught
tho penalty a nation must pay for un-
preparedness He remembered to the
last day the conditions in America when
the war broke out, and how they had
contributed to the length of the conflict
and hence to the appalling losses in both
blood and treasure Neither side was
prepared for war. Both sides had all
their preparations to make; and the fif
teen years that had elapsed since the
Mexican war had left the country soft
and lax. Both sides paid heavily before
getting into fighting trim.
These parting words of this gallant
soldier recruited from civil service are
such as one hears from all the survivors
Of our fratricidal strife, whether they
served on one side or the other. They
are as one now in love of the reunited
country, and in solicitude for its safety.
They know how men are constituted.
They know what war IS The lessons of
half century ago were learned never
10 be forgotten. In the rose of life then,
they are in its gray today, but with ad-
vice which all should hear and heed.
Sentiments of this sort from this and
kindred sources are timely. The next
Congress will be asked to do something
further for the army-maybe something
different from that done at the recent
session of the present Congress. That
satisfied nobody. The legislators were
on edge about many things. Time was
pressing. The congressional calendar
was crowded. Every important measure
caused chickering's; and the more impor-
tant the measure the greater the diff

shape. In this way the legislation for
