It is hurtfui enough to religion to have the religious Issue made the foot ball of politics by selfish politicians. but it is far worse to have one of the leading players in the game kick re- lgion itself in seeking to win a goal for friend by challenging man on the opposing team because he considers him only fit tor be Sunday school super intendent
 I hold no brief in this column for any candidate. but I am filled with righteous indignation that anyone of standing in the community should so far forget him. self as to insinuate that qualities that make a candidate fit for religious work disqualfies him for political service. It Is putting politics above religion. 1t isn't playing the game fair.
 I resent this as g. preacher for it car- ries with it the idea that for a man to be religious he must forego political preferment at the hands of the people.
 challenge 1t because if it gets cur rent, then it's notice for the ministry to keep their hands out of politics, and to never have the temerity to aspire for office. The election of some preach CTS to high office has given us in the past some of the best public servants that the country has ever had.
 
 But so far as the ministry is con- cerned I would let it pass, but I take up the cudgeis in behalf of the thou sands of consecrated laymen who are not only devoting themselves to ag- gressive Christian work, but have pulled off their coats to the consternation of professional politicians and gotten into politics to help drive out the ungodiy and unfit who for years have misman- aged our cities and debauched our states.
 The contention that men of known morality capable of caring for the moral welfare of the young of both sexes in our Sunday schools are thereby out of the running for office is not in Keeping with the idea of George Wash ington, the father of our country, who went on record saying: "Of all the dis positions and habits that lead to po- litical prosperity, religion and morality arc indispensable supports John Stuart Mill cannot be cited as one who was too favorable to religion yet hear him, for 1t was his sober verdict that

Many head OF live stock also have
been saved through the advice given
by the agents to the owners of diseas-
ed animals and through the direct
treatment of the animals by the
agents. Nearly 900, 1000 hogs have
been treated il this way for cholera
and many head Of cattle yer saved
by the work of the agents in prevent
ing the spread Of foot-and-mouth
disease.
In general, the work OF the county

ton of new crops, and help in the

and breeding methods, induced better
sanitation, and aided in the control
and eradication Of animal diseases.

DDS Of conservating the fertility of
his farm through adequate drainage,
proper fertilization, and the utiliza-
ton OF transforming materials. It's
tendency is toward Standardization Of
farming in crops, live stock, and meth
DDS. 1t has assisted him in market
ing his products and the purchasing
Of his supplies. 1t has developed bet
ter systems OF farm management, as
sisted in securing farm laborers. and
assured to the farmer a more ade-
4uaLe return for his investment and

the country more satisfying through
the installation Of home conveniences

women, through interesting the
young people in wholesome rural ac-
t~ivities. and through the creation of a
genuine community spirit of self
help, self-improvement, and self-as-
sertion.

along an axe or cross cut saw for aids
in opening them, but this was managed

RIFLE CLUB DATA RECEIVED FROM
 MAJOR PHILLIPS

J. C. Luttell, adjutant of the local camp of Spanish-American war vet erans, received a communication on the last boat from Major F. H. Phil lips, who is assistant recorder of the national board for the promotion of rifle practice, in which he enclosed the regulations for establishing rife club in Seward. The national board is conducted under the supervision of the war department and it's duty is to encourage and organize rifle clubs and furnish them with all equipment necessary.
 The letter from Recorder Phillips was written before the declaration of war, and it is not thought probable the rife clubs will be treated with less consideration, on this account, but, if anything, will receive greater atten- ton.
