We ARE IN the WORLD WAR.

Our country is actually in the
world-war. President Wilson's mes
sage declares that we have practical
ly been at war with Germany since
Feb. I, and Congress will make the
formal declaration with an over.
whelming vote either today or tomor-
row. This is a power that the people
have delegated to their government,
and they must abide by the conse-
quences.
1t is worse than useless now to crit
icise. Grim war, on a scale never be-
fore dreamed Of in this country, is
now actually upon us, and the lives
and property of lingo and pacifist
alike are In danger. It is folly to ar
que about who rocked the boat when
we are all in the maelstrom and are
being sucked into the now almost uni
versal vortex of hate and blood-shed.
That it is feared that it will not be q
popular war is evidenced by provis-
ions already being provided to raise
an army Of two or three million men
on the "basis OF universal service
That means that three per cent of our
population must be modified as soon
as It is possible to do so in our pres.
ent, state OF preparedness. At this
rate Kandiyohi county will eventually
be called on to raise a quota of over
600 men. Let NO one deceive them
selves with the idea that this fatefu]
step of war will affect this country
but little. No human mind can fore.
tell where complications may finally
take us.
OF the loyalty OF our citizens there
can be no question:. Whether native
borG or adopted, we love America and
the principles it stands for, and will
defend them to the utmost of ou1
ability.
When state of war exists civil
rights and interests become secon
Diary consideration. All other ques,
tiohs of national interest must be
sub 0rdinated to the great one OF
bringing the war to successful con
cluDion.
May the Lord Of hosts protect our
country, and the cherished rights OF
life and liberty it has heretofore
vouchsafed US.

The Farmers NOn-Partisan League

The Farmers Non-Partisan League
organization in Minnesota is already
meeting with cunning opposition. An
other organization has been incorpor-
ated in the State with that name and
is soliciting members at a fee of only
$500. The promoters of the new or
ganization disclaim any: such inten.
tion, but it bears the ear-marks OF a
cheap trick to confuse the farmers
and enrich the promoters. The organ
izers Of the true Non-Partisan League
are no amateurs at the political game,
however, and will find a way to pro.
tect their organization.

BRISTOL CHURCHES FFDFRATE
consresatlonaIlsts and Mstho-
dists Agree on One Pastor

An interesting step in the movement
Of church unity was recorded In Bristol
this week when the Methodist and Con-
gregational churches Of the town rati-
fled an agreement for a Federated
Church According to this agreement,
the First Methodist Episcopal church
and the First Congregational church of
Bristol will support but one minister,
hold services together and engage in
other joint activities.
Next Sunday will be the First
Federation rally day and President
Thomas will address the united congre.
cations at the Congregational church.
The complete federation of the,churches
will be effected the first Sunday in July
when President Benton Of the Univer-
sity Of Vermont will address the united
congregation at the Methodist church.
The management of the affairs of the
federated church will be in the hands
of joint committee consisting of six
persons, three being appointed by the
Quarterly Conference of the Methodist
church and three by the Congregational
church, this joint committee to formu-
late its own procedure, and the pastor
of the federated church being an eX-
oflicio member of the committee. Until
the current conference year Of the
Methodist church ends the present pas
tor Of the Methodist church shall be
the minister of the Federated church
and at that time the Joint committee
may confer with the district supern-
tendent of the Methodist church con-
cerning the appointment Of the minister
for the year following. At the end
Of the conference year in 1919 it shall
be in order for the Congregational
members of the joint committee, if they
wish, to bring up the question of secur-
ing minister from their denomination
for the federated church.
