INDIAN EVANGELIST BIDS FOR

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 18,-After hay-
ing the breath pummelled out of him
by indignant Baptists from one end OF
the country to another. because of GER
tain views he is reported to have ex-
pressed concerning religious reviyals,
General Fred Funston is now made a
target for the heavy ratillery fire OF
Fred Hall Wright, an Indian evangel-
ist. conducting a series Of evangel>
istic meetings in a Presbyterian
church in this city.
He declares General Funston's at
titude toward revivals in the troop
camps along the border is thoroughly
characteristic of those in governmental
authority throughout the country. A
general spirit of indifference toward
religions has grown up in the public
schools, asserts the Indian evangelist
and he fears that America will raise
A generation of atheists and anarchists

'lTOUR MORE OF DAYLIGHT
Is NOT POPULAR IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 1S.-That to
set the clock back an hour and pre-
tend to gain another hour of daylight
in Atlanta, would be as foolish as to
change the figures on the thermometer
and pretend you were warm when it
was freezing merely because the
said 40 or so, instead of
80, is the ingenious argument that
has apparently killed forever the
hour more of daylight plan for At
lanta.
Every civic club and organization in
Atlanta has been having debates and
arguments about it, but the result is
that Atlanta will in all probability
continue. to have the same standard
central time as all other places in
the same longitude, and that individ-
uals who want "an hour more of
daylight" will have to continue get
ting it on their own hook by the less
complicated process of simply getting

tenance of Dutch sovereignty in Europe
and in Hollands colonies. The inter
ests of the state in Europe might per-
haps point to a closer association
with the Central Powers, but the in
terests of our colonial possessions in
Asia, with their fifty million inhabit-
ants, point positively in another direc-
ton. 1t is therefore undoubtedly best
for Holland to remain herself, and
look neither to the right hand nor to
the left. Whether a logical pursuit
Of this policy will always be possible
is another question"
incidentally Mr.. Colyn expressed
the view that Japan will profit most
from the war; she will not now be
ousted from the markets in the Far
East that have been captured by her.
OF the European Powers, Russia will
probably make the most rapid recov-
cry, so the eX-War Minister thinks.

which vocation he followed until the
close of his life. He was brave

manhood for the defense of his coun-
try. He was for more than fifty
years Mason, and always gave to his
lodge a very faithful service.
Be it Resolved. therefore, First

HOLLAND To SUFFER

THE HAGUE, Netherlands. Jan 1S.-
Holland with her important transit
trade will suffer considerably from an
eventual economic struggle between
the present groups of belligerents, in
the opinion of H. Colyn, former min
lister of war He points out that an
important part of Germanys COM
mercial traffic passes through Holland
and that this traffic will not only be
restricted if the two European kroups
exclude one another by high tariff
walls, but that it must in any case
suffer from the fact that a great part
of the former German markets es-
pecially in North and South America
and in East Asia, has passed into
other hands, out of which such lost
markets will not be Immediately re-
covered.
The political and economic policy of
Holland after the war will be directed
towards the maintenance of position
Of independence. he declared for IF
the present groups of powers cone
into permanent opposition then state
of complete independence will be the

FUSION AND PRIMARY

A good deal is being said of the wisdom Of party
fusion in these war times. It is becoming more and
more clearly recognized that in so far as the Issues OF
the present are concerned. there are. in reality, only two
parties. and they are divided along lines which have not
been drawn in any former political campaign. We have
those who arc uneauivocally committed to the vigorous
prosecution Of this war until it is won. and those who
are not. It ought to be possible to get that issue in that
form, before the people when men are to be chosen to
fill public offices. And yet, under the laws which exist in
most states. and especially under the newer primary
election laws, no such division is possible. .
Most Of the primary election laws make it either
difficult or impossible to draw any lines In a political
campaign In an official manner except those between
recognised political parties. For the purposes of the
present the names Of those parties have in many cases
ceased to have q meaning. Yet the names must be used,
ana men must go before the people as candidates repre-
sentins. not loyalty or disloyalty. but certain political is
sues about which the people today are utterly indifferent
in comparison with the greater things that are before
ux. This is one Of the handicaps under which we labor,
and It's existence gives a great advantage to the small
bore politician who hopes to be swept into office by the
force Of . current which derives it's power from the ira
didons Of a great party organized because Of the exist
ence Of issues which are, for the moment, utterly for.
gotten.
