FARMER RELIGIOUS SECT
ASKS WAR EXEMPTION

HUTCHINSON. Kan. May 9.-Sev.
eral hundred Mennonites in Reno and
adjoining counties have appealed to
Senators Charles Curtis and w. II.
Thompson to protect them against
military service in keeping with their
religious beliefs. They attest their
loyalty to the government and ask
to be allowed to show their patrio.
tism by raising crops and in other
peaceful pursuits.
The Mennonites are sect of people
who do not believe in worldly show
or vanities. Non.resistance is one OF
their chief doctrines.
Since the foundation OF the sect
they have opposed military service
They went to Russia at the invitation
of Empress Catherine in their early
existence on the promise of military
exemption. There they founded big
farming settlement, but left the coun
try when the exemption from military
service was repealed.
They have made the sections where
they have settled in this part OF Kan.
sas one of the richest farming areas
of the country, and it is expected that
their religious convictions will be re.
garded.

STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION IN ELKO

A new departure from customary
methods is being tried this year in
Nevada. Instead OF the state conven.
ton of Sunday school workers as.
sembling at one point three sessions
are to be held,-one in Elko. one in
Winnemucca and one in Reno.
Speakers of national reputation
have been secured and will pass from
one meeting to another. This will
give opportunity for many Sunday
school teachers and officers and work
ers to attend the state convention
without going to Reno, the usual place
for holding the convention.

cruiting officer. He accepts no man obviously unfit, but even the obvi- ously unfit have to register and may be drafted and subjected to exami- nation.
 It is when the doctors get busy in industrial centers they are going to be up against a few startling facts which will show the inroads commercialism and modern industry has made upon the Amer ican citizenship. It will reveal a high per centage of diseased, tuDer- cular, and wholly unfit subjects for military service. Complaints will be loud over this, and we will hear quite a bit about the waste of the human factor in industry. It takes something like a na- tional emergency or the profit ele- ment to stir things up. So far men have been denouncing slum conditions, unsanitary workshops, insufficient wages and so forth and so on and all they got for their pains has been the appelation of knocker or agitator and the like. But now when efficiency in indus try is being boosted, because it adds another whack to the employers growing pile, and because the coun- try needs stalwart fighting men of ficials and employers are beginning to kick about unhealthy conditions of labor.
 But there have been the reports as to these things for years. There have been the statistics as to occu- pational diseases, there have been the growing figures of the unem- ployable and you couldn't get soul to listen and take an interest in it all for ono second.
 Now when the other fellow is to be their keeper and the maker ot their profits; they will jump up in hurry and want to know why it has all heen neglected so long.
 The reason it has is because the workers failed themselves to orga- nize to remedy conditions them selves, and expected someone to come along with reforms on a silver platter.

worth considering.

worth considering.
 The fact was realized that through the labor hired applied to the ma chinery and raw material came the values produced and through the values produced came profits.
 To install the efficiency system, therefore, men of certain capacity and sound in wind and limb and to certain extent unmummified of brain, were quite essential and thereupon when they began to over haul their human material they discovered that by the methods heretofore prevailing there had been an appalling waste of such in the industries.
 Hence in order to have the work ing men in a better position and in better condition to produce pro- fits, certain reforms were under taken with much f1ourishing of trum- pets as high grade modern welfare WOrk ana pnllantnrOpy.
 But it was all matter of dollars and cents, and if it wasn't a matter of dollars and cents the workers could have remained in the same conditions as had prevailed for so long without protest
 Now we are going to hear a good deal more about the human factor in the coming days. As all know the United States wants soldiers. The soldiers has to meet some ele- mentary physical standards. You can not make a soldier of the diseased or the deformed, of the maimed or the sickly. He has to have good eyes, sound teeth, healthy lungs and reach certain moderate stand ards of height and weight.
 Just now the process of eXamina- tion will be indulged in. Just as the process of examination has been indulged in, in the regular army by physical examination of recruits
 A special report of the chief army surgeons has revealed that most ot the recruits are defective and they are defective to such an extent that there is occasion for alarm. Yet in recruiting some hap-hazard discri- imitation is exercised by the re

BUSINESS AS USUAL.

Apparently everything is boom ing and war or no war business is proceeding as usual without any in- terruption.
 However there was no intention that business would be interrupted by war It was quite otherwise. It was intended that the important financial obligations which the En- tcnte Powers had incurred with Am erican capitalists should be fully protected and the government has handed over ample funds for this purpose to the powers needing it.
 The precaution has been judici- ously taken by very practical ad- ministiation that the monies ad- yanced would be spent in the United States. SC that it will all come back to the wealthy in the natural channels of business and in the na- tural order of wealth concentration.
 The process as a financial pro- cess has others beaten by many a long mile. The government spends

RESOLCrING.

The convention of Women's Clubs resOluted against the. substitution of female for male labor and the importation of coolie labor into this country under the pretext of wars necessities.
 So at least a dispatch reports and it is to be hoped that the re- port is correct, for it shows that the Women's Clubs have quite a pene- trating opinion of what employers will do when the war is on, and ap- praise with no uncertain guage the standard of patriotism which ami mates the noble hearted captain of industry.
 What the employer wants is pro fits. That is the end of his business It he is a manufacturer he wants "a fair return upon his money, if he is fnancier he wants his prin- cipal and interest secured", and so on down the line, During war time he is entitled to profit just as much as any other time, and he is going to have it, if he can Impress his ideas as to the how and wherefore upon the legislators and the people.
 It will not be hard, just now, to raise the cry that there is a short age of help and that it must be forthcoming either.
 It is likely that the ladies in con- vention assembled, called the turn sure enough. We will see.
