Clerggmen and Bloodshed

Bishop Burgess OF the Protestant Episcopal
diocese OF Long Island Is commonly clear
thinker. He will pardon us If we are unable to
follow the logic Of this expression from his lips
at the diocesan convention:
ut would only be by violent strain OF the
Imagination that we could conceive of situation
where the hands which have been consecrated
to the holy office of the priesthood OF Christ
could be employed in the shedding OF blood"
At this moment, according to all the reports,
there are 10000 Roman Catholic priests fighting
in the armies of France, shedding German blood
as an obligation to France and to the cause OF
humanity. The number OF clergymen of the
Church Of England now at the front as fighters,
not as observers or phianthropsts, is very large,
In neither case would Bishop Burgess question
the technical conservation by the laying on OF
hands. But probably he never had any idea Of
limiting his thought to such technical consecra-
ton, but meant il to embrace all the Christian
ministry.
In Exodus xv:s, Moses said: "The Lord is
a man Of war" Martin Luther declares "Neces-
sary war is duty In all the ages patriot
-clergymen have shed blood. For example at the
battle OF Chickamauga, James A. Garfield. a
Campbsllite lay preacher, afterward president Of
the United States. and the Right Rev. Leonidas
Polk. fighting bishop of Louisiana. afterward
killed BY common ball at Pine Mountain. were
opposing each other, each trying to shed the
others blood and each equally conscientious and
devoted to cause.
Moreover, so far as layman can see, rightc-
business is the same for priest and parishoner.
What consecrated hands may not do. hands not
consecrated ought not to do.
These are some Of the reasons why we can
discover no violent strain OF the imagination as
requisite for situation in which the past repeats
itself and the present is only illustrated. Priests
and clergvmen have shed blood. are shedding
blood. wifi shed blood ill what is essentially a
holy war is ended IN victory

Presbyterians Not in Politics.

One Of the important actions taken by the
general assembly Of the Presbyterian church at
its present session is the declaration that it is not
in politics. This was called forth to by the course
Of the Iowa presbytery, which endorsed candi-
date for governor because Of his stand on prohi-
bition. Wise leaders OF the church see the danger
that lies in the way Of entering politics even to
the extent Of expressing preference between
candidates or parties The moral influence Of the
organized churches Of the country is too great to
require resort to the perilous expedient Of actual
entry into political campaign. No religious test
is made nor would any be tolerated for holding
office in this country, and the government does
not discriminate between the several sects. Any
one Of these that undertakes to regulate politics
is inviting disaster Ministers and church men,
bers alike are expected to have full share in the
civic life of the country, but must exert their in
huence as citizens, and not as followers of par

should ask the farmer to do his duty
and he Is nobly responding by strain
ing every nerve to produce every
bushel of grain and every pound OF
meat possible. Our farmers better
than any other class know their call
ing, They have been on the ground
since birth and they know the true
situation from actual experience. They
realize the loss of their wheat crop
and the enormous expense and labor
entailed on them by such loss. Many
of them sold their wheat at dollar
or little better and will be forced to
nav unheart of prices for seed next
fall. They have to contend with the
overshadowing fact that they may be
called to war just as they see the ears
of corn forming as a reward or thelr
toll.
Farmers realize and appreciate the
interest and advice accorded them by
the various commercial clubs, but can
YOU wonder if they feel that some or
those good people sometimes become
little tiresome? Mrs. A. L. DAWSON
of the Agricultural college advertisds
that farm women will accept help
only who will eat in hot kitchen ana
who are willing to tend the BABY ana
work in the field. Such a slander
could be uttered only through the
depths of ignorance of true farm life.
No, my dear woman, on the farm, and
on the farm only, is the place where
the girl help is treated as one OF the
family, sharing every comfort at table
and elsewhere that they share, and
many they do not accord themselves
Mrs. Davisson has certainly, like man
others, mistaken her calling.

German Spies and Yankee Papers.

Americans must begin war operations by con-
ceding that the Germans are possessed OF ordi-
nary intelligence at least and for this reason the
Navy department should not be surprised that
the kaisers war council knew Of the departure
Of the American fotilla for British waters and
was prepared for il. Ever since the great war
commenced Americans have been told Of the
German spy system; It's efficiency is admitted and
ito ramihcations are undoubted. The United
States 10 not immune to its operation, nor is any
nation neutral or otherwise able to close all
nues Of communication with the world to any
who have information to send out.
We may as well face the fact that the German
secret service Is active, as It has been, and that
very little going on in this country is not duly
reported on to Berlin. This being true, the
proposed control Of American newspapers through
censorship becomes useless. In the present in
stance the Washington authorities admit that no
reference was made in any home paper as to the
movement Of the ships and yet this silence BY the
press did not prevent the information getting to
Germany in good season. The incident should
convince the president and his advisers that put
ing muzzie on the newspapers doesn't hamper
the secret service maintained by the enemy.
The press Of America is patriotic; it has proven
this by its cordial and voluntary cooperation with
the government for many months and II does not
deserve the implied aspersion contained in the
presidents demand for extraordinary power to
control publication. Spies are here and will be
throughout the war and muzzing the newspapers
will not check their operations.

On the Farmers Side.

Oxford Neb., May 25.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: All hail to the
farmers who refused to allow the So
called conservation board to misrepre-
sent the farmers and farm conditions
in Nebraska Ninety-nine per cent of
the real farmers will sanction their
bolt and endorse their resolutions. The
howl that has gone up about the
wastefulness of the farm, and the
grewsome picture of the nation on the
verge of starvation, has wonderfully
pleased our enemies, brought on a
panic and given the holders Of grain
the opportunity to make fortunes by
boosting the price. Millers caught the
spirit and hired a special clerk to
mark up prices and advise the GUS
toners that now was the time to buy.
Machine men and merchants got the
impression that therelwould be some-
thing doing when the convicts and
school children were sent to the farms
and they raised the prices of listers
and corn plows till they would hardly
go into the ground, and everything
else from sugar to toothpidks started
upward with as great ease as an air.

Unfortunately the American government has
given even less thought to the horses and mules
that will be needed for the great army it is rais-

better preparation in proportion, but plenty of

Hardest Pushed-Quickest Ended.

The Omaha Bee appears to be greatly elated
because United States soldiers are to go to the
front in France to fight for the entente. Hav-
ing entered the war on the side of the allies
probably it is necessary for this country to fur
nish men, but it is not matter for rejoicing,
for thousands of them, il the war keeps up,
will be slaughtered in that terrible killing
shambles-York News-Times.
Sane people who ought to know better do not
yet grasp what is involved in this war into which
the United States has been reluctantly forced
ourselves.
Far from being "elated" that our soldiers are
going to the front in France to fight, no words
can express our deep regret that there is any
fighting at all.
For any one to "rejoice" at the shambles in the
war zone would be worse than fendish--the truth
is, The Bee has only feelings of indignation and
horror at the terrible slaughter.
But the stern facts must nevertheless be faced.
This is war to stop war. 1t is war to make
impossible the unprovoked annihiaton of an
helpless Belgium. 1t is war to prevent in the
future the deliberate killing of innocent women
and babes like those sent to watery graves with
the Lusitania.

Omaha, May 24.-To the Editor OF
The Bee. In one of the recent editions
of the World Herald noted that SEN
ator Hitchcock stated that Italy Is
staying in the war only because of the
aid of England-two or three hundred
million dollars month. But by that
he surely is not acquainted with al
fairs in Italy. If so, he surely remem-
bers what caused Italy to enter the
war. 1t was the pressure of the .peo-
pie, and besides it has been the hope
of Italy for the last half century, not
to conquer, but to secure the freedom
of the two provinces, Trento ana
Trieste, from the dual monarchy. Also
he ought to know tina: they raise mill
lions and millions of dollars on their
Liberty bonds each month and the
money not all coming from the people
in Italy, but from Italian people in
other countries. Furthermore, l can
state that great many Italian people
left this country voluntarily to enter
the war to secure the freedom OF the
two provinces, and not for the dollars
England gave them each month, al
though / am sure the government and
the people of Italy appreciate the help
of England and all other countries

Wants More Ministers.

Seattle, WASH, April 2S.-~To the
Editor Of The Bee: Some of our proW-
dent, far-seeing men are showing
Americas need for trained men in
every field of business and endeavor-
trained business men. trained chem
lists, trained civil and electrical engi-
neers, trained agriculturists, ETC., who
will devote their lives to acquiring
thorough theoretical and practical
knowledge of their special lines.
One field of effort has been over
looked. should like to call your at
tention to it.
What we need most in America is a
trained body of ministers. / know we
have the colleges and theological SEM
inaries, but these are not sufficient. AS
the case stands, a minister goes to his
charge, k-trained, 1t is true, but
with no real knowledge of life, of hu-
man nature, and of real, every
day conditions. Before preaching,
prospective ministers should go out
into the world, work among working
people, do mems work among men,
gain a knowledge of life, and when
they have reached the age of 80 years
or SO begin their ministry. If they were
to follow this course they woulL better
understand the truths of Scripture and
they would reject the false teachings
Of higher criticism and other false
knowledge.
Coming to the scholastic training of
the clergy, ministers should begin their
real studies after they have left the
seminary. Instead of studying Har-
mack or Renan, or Briggs, they should
study the Bible and the great church
fathers-Iranaeus Tertullian, Clement
of Alexandria, Origen, Augustine,
Thomas Aqulnas and others. In other
words, instead Of studying what this
or that petty theologian has to say
about the Bible, they should study the
Bible itself and the great church
fathers, who drew their inspiration di-
rectly from the Bible.
What we need. then, in America
most of all are self-sacrifcing men
who will devote their lives to the study
Of the Scriptures and thus be enabled
to combat successfully woman suf-
frage, prohibition, religious infidelity,
divorce, the worship of Mammon, and
other corruptions and false doctrines
of the times: men who will labor
without money and without price" :"
establish the true worship of God. and
the true knowledge of the Bible.
"The harvest is great, but the labor
ers are few" Yours very truly,
CHARLES HOOPER.
