CHURCH MERGER.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.1

lCOunCll BUTTS NOnparell.
BY decisive vote Of 406 to So the
members Of the general assembly Of
the Presbyterian church in Canada re-
Gently voted to unite with the Meth
odists and Congregationalists.
This vote Is looked upon by the pro-
testant bodies in Canada as q landmark
in church history. It marks station
in the progress from sort Of pharisee-
ism in religious matters to a higher
degree Of genuine christianity.
The Manitoba Free Press observed
the debate on this question of union
which consumed about twelve solid
hours OF time. THE arguments Of the
opposing forces, played an important
part in influencing the vote" says the
editor. THE tone Of the unionists
from the beginning to the end was, on
the whole. spiritual and inspiring In
its appeal, while the antis dwelt with
technicalties. As an evidence that the
assembly understood clearly the real
religious value to be gained by the
adoption of the union it is significant
to point out that when the Anal vote
was given out there was no demon.

some evidence to the contrary, they

BRING WAR WIDOWS TO AMERICA.

Mating the war widows of Europe
with the single men Of the west in the
United States and Canada is said to
be an undertaking contemplated by the
Salvation Army of both countries and
it is receiving more favorable COM

proposed by political economists in
young women have been made widows
by the war in Europe and that their
chance Of replacing their husbands in
that part of the world will be slim in

What are the other churches Of Am
erica going to do about it? The Sal
walton Army is thinking seriously Of
finding new husbands in America for
the young war widows of Europe. AS
to this other denominations may have
different ideas but there ought to be
no question as to the STABILITY Of
finding jobs for them.
There are millions Of jobs open in
American homes to young women who

Wives were provided for many Of
the early colonists in what is now the
United States in precisely the manner
being considered by the Salvation
Army, and it is pointed out that the
plan worked to the satisfaction Of
everybody concerned. 1t was also re-

THINGS THAT MAKE LAND SELL

Marshalltown has recently furnished
sufficient evidences OF the effect Of
hard surfaced road improvements upon
property values to convince the most
skeptical of what Is in store for Iowa
when her land owners can realize its
possibilities. AS soon as the city council
had passed its resolutions ordering a
narrow ribbon Of paving sixteen feet
wide on the Lincoln Highway extend
property a man from Gilman astounded
the community by paying $295 per
acre for 120 acres lying just a quar-
ter Of a mile beyond the end Of this
paving.
Last week eighty one lots were sold
in one auction in the vicinity Of North
Third avenue largely upon the strength
of gravel surfacing which had been
ordered by the city council upon this
street and every lot carried with 1t the
prospect Of an assessment of s25 to
$50 for the street improvement.
In the east part Of the city last sum-
mer a manufacturing company built
FIVE houses, all from the same set of
plans. Two os these houses faced an
unpaved street and the other three
faced . paved street but they were all

AUGMENTATION OF ALIENS.

Six days from today we will be
celebrating our national Independence
Day. and as a people we are likely to
be at war. forced upon us to guaran-
tee proper respect for our rights as one
of the family Of nations.
In recent years there has been an ad-
mlrable movement inaugurated to
make of our Fourth an Americaniza-
ton day, devoted in as large a way as
possible to getting our alien peoples to
gain a larger and deeper sense of the
privileges they enjoy in this land OF
ours. And in the melting pot the pro-
cesses are at work producing homo
seneity Of thought and purpose. Dur
ing the past ten days there have been
many evidences of this. The number of
men Of alien birth who have been seek
ing enlistment in our military forces in
these critical days is one Of the really
significant features Of our prepared
ness for whatever fate has in store for
US as people. The "hyphen' is not
evident or audible when the fatherland
is not involved.
1t were we'll if all true and good ma
tive Americans should more fully real
ize that what has been keeping the
alien in our republic apart from US has
been in large measure his feeling that
he has been held m some contempt by
Americans as something Of lesser
breed without the law" His assimila-
ton is being accomplished with rea-
sonable expedition. He is better
more fully endowed with the
best Americanism, who next Tuesday,
gets better acquainted with the for
eigner' beside him on his job or resi-
dent nearby and begets in him an un-
derstanding that what is wanted in
this land Of the freeman is unanimity
Of purpose to make of these United
States the model amalgam of liberty,
equality, fraternity.

JAPAN.

Japan Is small. restless nation
claim on the Pacific ocean. There are
several islands in the Pacific on which
Japan would like to grow her cele-
brated brand Of Oolong tea and the
fat-footed coolie, but she Is prevented
from doing so by the, navy OF the
United States. which plants itself In
the right of way with both arms folded
and steam up.
Japan has a very fertile soil and
produces more population to the
square yard than anybody else except
China, whose inhabitants are obliged
to sleep in layers Of tailed human
ity Every foot Of tillable land In
Japan is occupied by people who can
not move in any direction without =
head-on collision. A few years ago
Japan seized Korea and moved few
million Of her almond-eyed subjects
into the same, but her birth rate has
caught up with the disbursements
and most Of her citizens have to stand
on one foot in order to avoid being
suffocated. Travellers tell US that 1t
is harder to get around Tokyo In a
jitney bus than 1t is to secure front
seat at Sunday afternoon revival
meeting for men only.
Japan raises one of the most as
tute and noiseless varieties OF subter-
ranean diplomacy known to the civil
lied world. The mind Of the Japanese
diplomat never strays away from home
and gets mouthy. The morning papers
in Japan did not know that war had
been declared against Russia until the
Car woke up and found himself short

teaches us that while we should love
and respect Japan as a sister nation,

snllirted in her direction ever and

Whatever we do in Mexico should be
done while the wars are going on in
Europe. ~
1t is reported that Germany is at the
bottom Of our troubles in Mexico. We
have no doubt that German influence
in that country has been against the
United States! The Germans in Ger

count of the ammunition question.
But we can not postpone our duties
in Mexico on account OF Germany or
any other country.
The people Of the United States
must understand that the present
problem is one which covers our entire
future. This country can not exist
decently and peacefully with internal
warfare going on all the time in

WHY NOT NOW?


The people Of Mexico are incapable
of self government and so long as they
have wars, our own republic will be
disturbed.
America ought to take possession Of
Mexico and hold it for fifty years. pro-
claiming to the world at the start that
we intend to hold 1t: that we intend to
give the public domain away in home
steads to iMexicans; that we intend to
teach them to become farmers and
workers; that we intend to invite AM
erican capital to come into Mexico to
open mines build reduction works, to
construct railroads, and to do every
thing else that is useful.
We are told that Mexico is rich be-
yond the dreams Of avarice, yet she is
in poverty and rags 1t would cost the
United States large sum to clean up
and re-establish Mexico. but it is our
job and the sooner we get ut 1t, the
better. II we clean up Mexico as W,

The Ames Tribune Is leading the
procession. In its issue last week the
college town paper, which has hereto
fore always been republican, comes out
openly for E. T. Meredith, the demo-
cratic nominee for governor Of Iowa.
Under a two column cut Of Meredith
the Tribune says, in part: ''E. T. Mere
dith the democratic nominee for gov
ernor Of Iowa, should be elected gov
ernor Of the state. This statement,
coming from a republican newspaper.
Is but forerunner of what other re-
publican newspapers will say. and they
will express their attitudes on the gov
ernorship question just the same ~
will the voters at the November cleo
ton. The Tribune believes that for the
best Of the state from every standpoint
Mr.. Meredith Is better man than Mr..
Harding. The record Of Mr.. Meredith
is that Of clean man in every re-
spect. He Is against the saloon, tho
bawdy house, the vile and the vicious.
He is a candidate Of whom the repub.

FORD AN UNDESIRABLE CITIZEN.
dubuque Telegraph HERALD
We citizens Of the United States
think our American patriotism the
finest thing in the world. . In days of
peace we boast Of it and how ready
it Is to sacrifice for the nations well
fare. In times Of national danger we
accept as merely confirmation Of our
faith the alacrity with which our ma
tional guard responds to the call to
arms and our private citizens answer
the call for volunteers.
Because of this faith when a man
Of such prominence as Henry Ford,
pacif1st tho he may be. announces
that any employe Of his who answers
the presidents call will at once lose
his job and will not be reinstated up
on his return from service, the news
comes like a blow In the face and
leaves us without words to express
our opinions.
Amy employer Of labor, who, because
an employee leaves his situation to de-
fend the nation, deprives that employee
Of reinstatement in his position upon
his return, should be ostracized by his
fellow men. He has not the intelli-
gence Of a warthog nor the principles
Of a skunk and is neither AT for asso-
cation with nor protection by society.
Ford, by his own admission, is an
ignorant man. By his unpatriotic &C,
Of discharging his national guard EN-
ployes he has shown himself dan
gerously vicious citizen, undeserving
Of the protection Of the government he
has so foully repudiated. From every
viewpoint he is undesirable as a citi-
zen or an associate, If he is correctly
quoted.
