FIX The CHURCHES
Lack of Cooperation Is the
Trouble, Says Guild.
"One-Old-Cat" Religion Scored
by Former TOpekan.

Manhattan, Kan, March IL
Team. work should be the slogan of
the community churches declared
DR. Roy B. Guild of New York, and
formerly of Topeka, field secretary
for the Federated Churches in Christ,
in an address on 1.-The Challenge of
That Church at Home" before the
student body of the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
THE reason the church has not
progressed and has not accomplished
the best results is because of a lack
of cooperation. In so many of our
communities there are so many per-
sons who are keeping their own little
old-cat' religion in their little back
yard.
Get these people to catch the
larger vision. Go to work to beat the
devil or his representative that puts
up to you the challenge of your COM
churches to play the game together
against the forces of unrighteousness
-and they will accomplish things
worth while.
The Man Worth While.
1.-The man today who is worth while,
is the one who can see thing, and
see in that thing challenge. The
people who are worth while are those
who accept the challenge and succeed
in that direction. Success or failure
depends more upon the mental atti-
tude of man than upon his capacity
There are two classes of schools in
this country There are schools that
have as their aim, self-improvement
mere development with the thought
centered upon what the student can
get out of the school for him or her
self. The other type of school has
not merely the thought of self-im-
provement, but the thought of serv-
ice''
1t is this type of student, pointed
out DR.. Guild, who will see and accept
the challenges that come to him when
he returns to his home community.
One of the main challenges of any
community is the church.
we have fixed up our homes. our
farms. our roads, said DR.. Guild.
We have fixed up all these things
but we have not fixed up the church
and 1t does not appeal to US. The
next thing that will be a problem will
be the services of the church: We
are running our church services very
much as we ran them fifty years ago.
Then there is going to be the chal-
lenge of the church cooperation"

HINTS TO CAR OWNERS.

The unequal adjustment of brakes
probably does more damage to tires
than actual wear. When one wheel
locks and the other turns free there
is a great amount of strain on the fab
ric of the tires on the locked wheel.
BY placing jacks under each rear
wheel one can adjust the brakes of
each wheel so as to be uniform.
When ball bearings become worn it
is not always necessary to have com
plete new bearings installed. The old
ones can be repaired and be almost
as good as new. This can be done by
truing up the ball races and using
larger balls of proper size.
The life of tires may be prolonged
considerably providing drivers are
careful to turn corners at a low rate
of speed, keep them free from oil and
pumped with air to pressure specified
by manufacturer.
Dry cells must be kept in dry
place and insulated from any metal

1t didn't avail L. NJ. Slater anything
to give bond to the county following
his arrest on a liquor charge. While
he was arranging his bond Harvey
Parsons, chief of police, was preparing
another warrant charging him with
keeping and maintaining a nuisance -
and when Slater stepped from the
county Jail he was met by a policeman
and escorted to the city jail
Slater was arrested with Dave Will
liams in room on the third floor at
704 Kansas avenue. For four days
the police had kept tab on the place.
When Williams and Slater were ar
rested they were turned over to the
county attorney. Slater gave bond
but it bought him nothing. If Will
Hams gives bond to the county Par
sons will be ready to nab him also
And nothing but a cash bond is going
to stick with Parsons.

AFTER THE WAR.

After the war-What? That sure ly is the most serious question for all the belligerents. It-is by all odds the most serious question for the workers in the various countres. It is clearly far more important than the international adjustment that may be devised by a peace confer ence, how the workers in the various countries will adjust themselves to their environment in countries at peace.
 What makes the question so diff cult for most of them is that the government has taken pains to feed and clothe millions who during peace will represent no concern whatever of the government. The men who are getting three squares warm clothing, shoes, and ordinary requirements of every kind, will be turned loose to shift for themselves under the economic system that is quite shiftless.
 And the question is will the soldier go back to his slum or his sweat shop or his rathole of a factory to die by inches of unsanitary labor only half requited as far as living wage is concerned?
 Can millions of men have been subjected to the war process whose incessant discipline is essentially that violence properly applied over comes all obstacles, and that might is the essential basis of all right return to a social system where scraps of paper and legal fiictions keep them alone from the gratifica- tion of their needs?
 It is quite a question. And clear ly enough those who started this especially after it is over, no one can foresee.
 Into the melting pot Of violence have been thrown ancient traditions, old superstitions, metaphysical rights, privileges and powers. Into this melting pot the civilization ot the ages has been cast as it were old junk for the re-melting and who shall say what shall come forth
 The privileges which have en- abled their possessors to overlord it over their fellows, the trust in legal methods of settlement; the inviol- ability of kings and princes--these things and much more have been as- sailed upon the field of battle. The whole fabric of institutions which were carefully built up in the var i ious lands to ensure possession, has been crushed down over night by the iron heel of the war god. tramp ling remorselessly over the ancient ideals of men.
 It is hard to conceive how millions of men who for the first time since they have become adults have had their bellyful with any sort of regu- larity, are going to return to the tcil and drudgery of the mine, the mill or the factory for an insuffici- ency to secure those things which they had without working on the battle lines of Europe. The men whose lungs have inhaled the fresh air will not lightly return to the lung destroying sweat shops or the tenements of the slums. For days and weeks and months the discipline of their lives has been teaching them the imnipotence of force-thefr force-as yielded by them to gain their pOint They know that their.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-12-27

efforts have brought ruin to those who were proud and their daring humbled the mighty men. They know that their bayonet has clear ed a patch much more strongly en- tangled than by legal metaphysics and lawyers parchments; they have seen greater resistance to hu man fury than the courts or the legislatures melt before the persua- sion of steel and explosives. That is what they have been learning all these years. It is a desperate les son whose discipline will not be without effect.
 It is hard to understand that it would be, although it is best to real ize that it can be. It may be turned into the same old channels of pau perism or Restitution by skilful flattery, by religious hypnotism, by the chicanery of the dram shop.
 Bernard Shaw has uttered many cynlclS1uS SluCc tllS war SIdl lSu, uut it is doubtful if all his utterances have had the combined corrosive ness of relatively recent reply to the question if the workers in Eng land would demand anything after the war and he answered "Yes, more beer!"
 It is upon the saloon that the powers that be will depend mainly after the war for their still being the powers that be! They will repeat what the Greek dramatist has told in his deathless tongue how the ! traveller Ulysses first made the giant Cyclops drunk and then burned out his only eye, in a modern tragedy more awful than the classic story of the Cyclops.
