THE cHURcH's RECRUITING
OFFICE.

What would become Of the churches,
and Of Christianity, If it were not for
the Sunday schools of America?
Probably there are no accurate
statistics on the percentage of church
members who graduated from the Sun
day school into active church work, but
undoubtedly 1t is a majority. Evangel-
ism is the only other important source
OF members for the church. Too often
the boy or girl who learned the first
lessons of religion and morality in the
Sunday school, has drifted away in
later life, but the Sunday school is
nevertheless the greatest factor in
keeping the church alive in America
today.
Fargo tomorrow will entertain the
earnest and unselfish men and women of
the state, who are most active in Sun
day school work. They have a message
that is well worth hearing. The Forum
hopes that Fargo citizens will take the
time to hear it, and that the visitors
will get a new inspiration from the
convention. that will spur them to
greater efforts. The simple gospel
taught by Jesus Christ, in whatever
language it may be clothed, was never
more needed by the war harassed
world, than It is today.

his sincerity and his real patriotism on

His message should carry to the

ton Of his sincerity and Americas

Americas men will soon follow her

battle and Russia's. The new Russian
government sees that; it cannot fail
to. If it can rally the forces of the
great new republic, and grid itself fol
one final blow at the only remaining
enemy of democracy, the war will be
shortened by months, perhaps years.

The Mandan News makes the ave-
rage city man wish he were farmer
this year. Here Is the way 1t sizes up
the situation:
1.-THE pessimist who can see naught
but business depression in this part OF
the country for the immediate future
must refuse to use his pencil Two
hundred acres OF wheat yielding TWEEN
ty bushels to the acre and selling for
two dollars a bushel means eight thou
sand dollars. This will be about the
average revenue for Morton county
farmers unless all signs fall"
Says the Hastings Times:
"a. c. Townley, head Of the Nonpar-
tisan league, has had the courage to
say just what he thinks about con-
scription and the Liberty Bond issue,
and because his ideas are not exactly
the same as those OF the great flnan-
ciers of the country he is being severely
criticized and called a traitor. We bee
lieve with him that wealth and war
profits should be conscripted, and
further, that this part of the nations
resources should be drawn upon be-
fore the lives of our young men. If the
material wealth Of the nation is con-
flscated or given to promote a just
cause, we will find the manhood and
physical reserves of the people re-
spending heartily with their services,
and they will not need to be drafted. :"
The income tax seems about the best
way of conscripting wealth, that The
Forum has heard Of. If you conscripted
1t on the same basis that the young
men of the country are being conscript-
ed, 1t would take an equal amount
from the rich man and the poor man.

THE WAR AND

Newspaper reports have told of i'm
moral conditions surrounding Fort
Smelling and Fort Leavenworth, and
other soldiers camps.
The exasperating old argument that
1T is a good thing for the town" has
even been raised in one or two cases
The problem of booze and immoral
women in the vicinity of soldiers
camps, is one that endangers the
health of the civilized world. What
starvation, food restrictions and in
sanitary conditions are doing to
spread tuberculosis, the camp sur
roundings are doing for venereal dis
eases. War threatens to give the two
great plaques of mankind, tuber-
culosis and. venereal diseases, a grip on
the world that 1t will take decades to
loosen. If the cities where these
camps are located have no thought for
the morals of the young men of the
camps, and no thought for the safety
of their own girls. they should at
least be forced to a realization of the
Importance of preserving the future
health of the race. The thought of
100000 to 100000 young men of the
nation exposed to such dangers, is
nothing short of appalling.
Today Fargo is entertaining the
delegates to the North Dakota Purity
Federation, and some of the national
and world officers Of the purity move
ment Comment on the added inn
portance of the work they are doing
in wartime, seems needless. German
bullets could be no more deadly to

ADVICE 10 BE HEEoEo.

{ Former Governor Hanna has earned
the right to give advice on the handling
OF the next sale of Liberty Bonds. He,
worked with him during the recent
campaign, gave their time without
thought of financial gain, and paid
their own expenses.
In The Forum last evening. Mr.. Han
ma outlined some suggestions for an
improvement in the system of hand
ling future government bond sales.
Briefly they were that the postmasters
and rural carriers be modified for the
purpose; that the Thanking privilege be
extended to cover correspondence in
connection with the loan; that the
payment of the actual expenses of the
men giving their time to the work at
least be considered; and that news
paper space be paid for on a basis of
the actual cost of the space to the pub
Usher.
1t is rather embarrassing for The
Forum to attempt to discuss the last
clause. In common with virtually every
other newspaper in America it did
what it could and neither received nor
wanted anything from the government
for doing it. In this respect, the news
papers did no more in proportion than
thousands and even millions of private
! citizens The newspapers gave space,
. the only thing they have to sell. while
citizens gave their time and service.
. All gave their money. All will do the
same again and again. If necessary.
But the other recommendations
should have the earnest consideration
Of the reserve bank committee hand
ling the loan, and through them they
should reach Washington. They are the
fruit of experience and long business
training in financial matters.

Mr.. Russell on his expulsion from the
Socialist party. 1t says:
'aThe Socialist party OF New York
has ousted Charles Edward Russell, the
immediate reason being that he ola
not resign from the mission to RUS
STA when asked to do so by party OF
ficials. We congratulate Russell on MS
good judgment-and in view OF the cir
cumstances, we congratulate him Tor
being out OF the company OF persons
whose political judgment has been SO
un- American and suicidal"
Says the Mandan Pioneer:
"The Nonpartisan league says that
1t is not opposed to Liberty bonds, but
that it has better way OF conserving
the resources of the nation.
IF every organization In the coun-
try has a better plan for the con-
duct of the war, or for the financing
of the war than the central government
then the nation will get nowhere with
all the citizens pulling in opposite di-
rections."
The New Rockford State Center man
talks in the abstract, but soundly, with
this;
Democracy signifies economic JUS
tice as we'll as political euuality-the
rule of the people. Where a country
Is dominated by capitalistic influences
however, its democracy is still large
ly in embryo. Economic democracy is
the ultimate goal toward which most
countries today are tending, and the
war instead OF retarding will advance
its principles. Political power has long
held sway among the nations, our own
included, but economic and social pow
err is forging to the front as q moral
and spiritual force as never before"

AN APPEAL FoR THE JEWS.

An appeal was made to the citizen
ship of Fargo, without distinction of
sex or creed, at the orpheum theater,
Sunday evening by Rabbi Emanuel
sternhein, of Sioux City, Iowa. who
is officially in charge Of the campaign
in North Dakota and South Dakota,
for the $10,o00,OO0, which is being
raised in America for the relief of the
Jewish people in the war zone,
The appeal he made should meet
with the sympathetic response of
every element of Fargo. Always will
ing to do their share, it is the first
time in the history of American
Jewry. that the men of this race are
making concerted appeal to their
non-Jewish brethren. The $40, 200, 900
must be raised Immediately IL the 3D.
100000 Jews are to be saved from
death by starvation.
International complications will not
interfere with the relief work. Ambas-
sadors OF neutral countries are rem
dering all possible assistance and the
state department of the United states
gives the assurance that nothing will
interfere with the work. The money
collected is spent in immediate and
direct relief. The Russian revolution
promises freedom to the Jewish peo-
pie: it is an opportunity that has been
awaited through centuries. But lib
erty means nothing to the dead. Every
dollar given today not only relieves
the present, but aids the future.

SMOKED OUT.

Opponents of the food control bill in
congress have finally limited at their
line of argument.
Senator Reed of Missouri, denounces
the bills as out Kaisering the Kaiser
and out Caesaring Caesar" Not a
potentate on earth, he declared, has
the power the bills would give to the
administration.
Well, let's take his argument at its
face value and admit the truth OF it,
Where would the power come from
From whom would it be taken? Who
has it now but the food spectators?
Would Senator Reed prefer to have ii
remain with few private individuals
who use the power for their own prof
it, or transfer it to the government?
Another point seems to be persist
emily overlooked by the opponents Of
the bills. The autocratic power given
the administration by the bills. is not
permanently vested in the hands OF
the president and Mr.. Hoover. 1t is
a delegated power, not the inherited
power of an autocratic ruler, and the
people who entrusted their president
with that power can take it away
again If it is abused.
Advance polls of the house and, the
state show a comfortable majority in
favor of both food bills. The only
danger lies in another attempt al
filibustering. The senator or congress-
man who attempts it should hear
from home" in a manner that will
bring him to his senses with a jerk.

RUSSIA AND AMERICA.

Gle read part of the declaration of
independence"
That sentence was in The Forum
last evening. 1t wasn't part of an
account of a patriotic celebration in
America, but part of the account Of
the reception of the American mission
to Russia. NJ Tereschtenko, minister
of foreign affairs Of the new Russian
government, was the reader, and he
wasn't sent to Siberia for it, but
cheered when he continued: Russia
holds with the United States that all
men are created free and equal"
The message that Elihu Root deliv-
cred TO Russia, was what might have
been expected from such a man. Mr..
Root, in intellect and in his grasp Of
the problems of statesmanship and
diplomacy, is one OF the real giants Of
his day. In the popular mind he has
been surrounded with the atmosphere
