The law and the gospel have pos
tulated those products of their infer
nal impudence as the work of God,
whom they are to purify by the legal
process. of picking their pockets of
court costs, legal fees, Imprisonment
and killing and the sacerdotal
cleansing by hell fire.
This indictment is necessarily mild
and brief, because of my human linn
itatiOns for a more comprehensive
and explicit and more concrete eX-
position of those primordial psyche
logic abortiOns called the law and
gospel. take great pleasure in re-
ferring the reader of my infantile in

RELIGION AND THE SCHOOLS.
i see that the religious issue has
been brought up again in the school
board. Such questions as religion
or creed are vicious and can do moth
ing but work harm.
It makes no difference to a right
minded person what a teachers reG-
gion is as long as she or he is a
person that can fill the position
satisfactorily and get results. That
is the only thing that counts in this
world of ours.
We cannot be all of the same faith
and we should respect and tolerate
others as we expect to have others
respect US. This universe is a hard
place for narrowminded people to
get along in.
This wrangle on the school board
can do lots of harm and can never
do any good.
Now let the Jews, Catholics and
Professionals get together for the
common good of the schools and
mankind and quit petty wrangIing.
Respect other peoples views and
work for the-common good. H.

Miss Aida Peterson,
Formerly of Fargo,
Dies At Sanitarium

Many warm Fargo friends will learn
with much regret of the demise Of
Miss Aida Peterson, formerly OF this
city, word of which was received
Thursday Miss Peterson died Thurs
day morning in the sanitarium at Pu-
posky, Mimi, where she had been a
2atient since early in January. Only
Ave weeks ago Miss Peterson's young
est brother, also a sufferer from tuber-
culosis, died at the sanitarium in
Crookston, where he had long been a
patient This leaves only one surviv-
ing child in the family, another daugh-
ter.
Miss Peterson was for six or seven
wears a resident of Fargo prior to leav-
ing for Puposky, and was a prominent
dressmaker here. She was well liked
by all who knew her and had wide
acouaintance in Fargo. She had been
suffering from tuberculosis in its less
