Tomorrow will be day of prayer
throughout the nation, and keokuk
churches will take cognizance OF
President Wilson's proclamation that
Sunday be proclaimed a day of sup
plication for the people of the nation.
In every church in Keokuk. no matter
what the denomination, or creed,
there will be an observance of the day.
In the Protestant and Catholic
churches there will be special OBJ
servances. In practically every Prot
estant church in the city there will
be some special feature looking to-
wards the following out of the presl-
dents message.
"The churches of the city will unite
IN their prayers for the nation to-
morrow" said DR.. H. B. McElree OF
the United Presbyterian church. Il
think every church will take cogniz.
ance of the presidents request, and
not only will prayer be offered in the
churches, but as individuals in their
own homes throughout the day, will
guidance be asked in the war"
Father Gillespie of ST. Peters
church, dean of the Keokuk Catholic
churches, said that the churches would
OBSERVE the presilen. proclamation
and urged the day Of prayer on all OF
MS people. Some recognition of the
Presidents proclamation will be given
at all four OF our services tomorrow
he said.
The Rev. DR.. Sage, bishop-elect o!
salina, gives this message:
do christian people believe IN
prayer? Is the saying Of prayers
merely an inherited form and proce
aure like the burning Of a printed
formula before Buddhist shrine
have the christian disciples of Jesus
Ghrist any faith at all in the eff
Cheney of prayer?
sometimes the christian minister
as he looks upon the empty pews
az the Sunday morning service, is in
chned to the opinion that large
proportion OF his parishioners have
no faith in the value of prayer ant

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1917-08-01
Schools In Virgin Islands

The United States is using the Euro
pean system of education with American
textbooks, in one of it's possessions, for
the first time in the history of the nation.
This novel experiment began on July 1
in the Virgin Islands, until recently the
Danish West Indies.
Two teachers have been sent from
Porto Rico to take charge of the schools
at St. Thomas and St. Croix, and both
will introduce United States methods,
to a certain extent, into the schools of
our latest possessions. The Dan ish
method of instruction, however, will be
continued to great extent, by the Unit
ed States. This system differs from the
United States in that the schools are
in session practically all the year round.
There is also religious training, but this
will be dropped from the course of study
now that the United Stat is in
possession of the islands.
The schools open at 7:30 in the morn
ing and close at $50 in the afternoon.
It has not been determined if these hours
will be continued, but if they are the
schools of the islands will hardly be pop
ular with American teachers.
In the Danish course of study Euro
pean history was given the most atten-
ton, altho reading, writing and arith-
metic were regarded as particularly
important, just as they are in the United
States. The classes were conducted in
English, Danish being taken up merely
as one of the studies.
Despite the petitions Of the citizens
of the island, the Danish government
had persistently refused to establish
high schools there. The failure of the
government to do so was source of dis
content of the people with the Danish
rule.

In a Holy Frenzy

It is hard to believe that anyone who
has had the advantage of an education
which would fit him to be a physician
should be so narrow and prejudiced that
he should feel it crime for anyone to
express an opinion which differed from
his own. Yet such is the case. Since
the mass meeting held last Wednesday
evening in this city, DR.. L. A. Fritsche
who presided at the meeting has received
from DR.. Hard of Marshall a letter
couched in terms of furious intolerance.
naming DR.. Fritsche and other New Ulm
citizens traitors and towards and ex-
pressing the hope that the Doctor might
be courtmartialed and that the writer
of the letter might be chosen individually
to fire the shot of execution which would
rid the world of the New Ulm mayor.
Several hundred years ago in European
lands the horrors of the Inquisition and
the intolerance of religious fanaticism
rendered human life the least valuable
OF all ones possessions. One might
not claim his life as his own for single
moment should he dare to express any
opinion on political or religious questions.
The fanatics who applied the torture
to the dissenters wrought themselves
into a frenzy which they deemed holy
and, it give them courage to disregard,
any humane instincts they possessed.
Later, in this land of the free, similar
scenes were enacted when Quakers were
hanged for their belief, but for the past
two hundred years it has commonly been
supposed that in America each and all
were privileged by the law of the land
to hold such opinions as seemed reason.

A~tocrocy Of The
Post Office Department

For an autocracy that will rival any
thing ever in force in Russia we commend
the post office department, and as an
autocrat who proposes to make his power
even more autocratic, there is no one
who has anything on Postmaster Burle-
son.
He has urged the house committee
Ion post Offices and post roads to report
adversely Representative London's reso-
luton instructing the High Priest of
the Socialist Newspaper suppression
bureau to furnish the House of Repre-
;%sentatives with the names of Socialist
and radical papers suppressed and the
reasons for their suppression.
Burleson insisted, furthermore, that
it would be incompatible with the public
Interest to furnish the House either the
instructions issued by him to local post
masters relative to the suppression of
the Socialist papers or the correspond
tence between his office and the other
government departments relative to the
enforcement of the censorship provisions
to the espionage law.
There were present but five members
out of the twenty-one making up the
house committee on post offices and post
roads.
The uuorumless committee decided
to give it's rubber stamp approval to
Burleson's clear violation of the con-
stitutional prohibition against abridging
the freedom of the press, and on motion
of Stevenson of Minnesota voted to
table the resolution.
The hearing was farce. Everyone
of the twenty-one members of the COM
mittee was notified that the committee
would meet to consider London's resolu-
ton. The fact that but four in addition
to Chairman Moon came to the COM
mittee meeting indicates how little
interest either Democratic or Republican
politicians take in preserving the liberty
of the press in the United States.
In addition to Chairman Moon and
,Steenerson, Cox of Indiana, Black of
Texas and Ramseyer. of Iowa, were
present.
Cox flew into a rage and bolted from
the Committee room when National
Committeeman Julian Piecre mentioned
the name of Prof. Scott Nearing as ap-
pearing in the advertisement of Peace
meeting appearing in the Cleveland
Socialist News, one of the papers Burle-
son guillotined.

To the Editor of the Open Forum.
"Speak we'll of your friends-of your
enemies say nothing" This proverb
holds good evermore.
New Ulm surely did herself proud the
other evening judging from the op-
posing press.
Your selfrestraint was certainly adj
mirable.
Take away the right of the open
townmeeting, whereat to discuss the
issues of the day openly, honestly,
fairly, and you have Russia instead
of the U. S. A.
For this reason many of as came here;
Euen from Germany.
Another word; don't think that
the Cities or the country at large lie
awake nights because of your bad or
good name. A lot of foolish fear is
bred and fostered in most of the smaller
towns everywhere over what Paul or
Minnie think oJ me- When you're right

RIGHT YOU ARE

No, New Ulm does not want mi
litary organization latter the war;
and is correct. The authorities in
St. Paul have said this, seemingly
not realizing that it was an insult to
the intelligent and patriotic citizens
of New Ulm and there are many such
there. New Ulm people made many
sacrifices for the National Guard since
first organized in Minnesota, has had
and still has good military men. They
want to use them now, when there is
use for them, and not have play-soldiers
when there is no real fighting to be
done.--Le Sueur NeWs.
