Conference Changes
Meet With Wide Approval
in Local M. E. Circles

Word of the reappointment of the
Rev. DR.. c. a. Smucker to Stevens
Memorial Methodist Church was re-
ceived with pleasure by not only the
big Hill congregation but by his wide
circle of friends in the clergy and
laity of the city. DIR. Smucker has
been responsible for q great expan-
sion at Stevens M. ID.
While the departure of DR.. A. S.
Fasick, who goes to Tyrone as super
intendent of the Harrisburg District, ia
regretted, the change had been ex-
pected, as he had served a long term
here. The Rev. II. r. Bender, who
comes to Ridge Avenue Church, is
widely known here. Some years ago
he was pastor of the Chambersburg
Church. The Rev. NJ. e. Swartz, who
comes here as district superintend-
ent, is from York. He is widely known
throughout the city and his arrival
is eagerly looked forward to.

Cheng Pi-kuang, the minister of the
navy, has revived the subject of re-
building the Taku forts which were
destroyed by the allied forces during
the Boxer trouble in 1900. The cabi-
net is considering the admiral s, recon-
mendation and an effort probably will
be made in short time by the foreign
office to gain permission from foreign
powers for the reconstruction of the
historic forts. which stand at the
mouth of the Peiho river leading from
Tien-Tsin to the sea. Under the pro-
tocol of 1901, Immediately following

IN SELF DEFENSE.

The regular editor grumbles, the
linotype man kicks, the press gibes
at, and our readers critieise the length
of our editorial illusions.
We admit there is good grounds fol-
their critism. We know we shoot our
ideas in scatter gun. We can't help
it. 1t is common fault of men with
redundancy of words and paucity
of ideas.
We are not related to the man

and then punching hole through the
paper.
We do not possess the Thomas Reed
ability of making comprehensive
speech in sentence.
We haven't the Horace Greedy
knack of exhausting a subject in a
stickful of type.
We can not like Henry Watterson
present an unanswerable argument in
a paragraph.
We are prone to substitute vocabu-
larry for thought in our articles.
We know our screeds contain more
veribage than gems Of genius.
We do, however, take an unholy
satisfaction over the thought that our
stuff is read else folks wouldn't know

ers of the present decadent generation
of Brown county's capital, did not
sever their home connections for
financial betterment only--they were a
class of men and women who could
make their way anywhere. They were
wearied of absoluteism, militarism, re-
preston and royal oppression and
they sought home of individual free
dom, where church was divorced from
state and where freedom of thought
speech and press was free and un-
trammelled. They joyfully renounced
all allegiance to Royalty and accepted
the sovereignty of the Republic in all
that it implied and in both war and
peace, demonstrated by service action
that their new allegiance was of the
soul and not of the lips only:
If the proud spirits of the patriotic
founders of New Ulm, the men we
knew, the men who wore the blue, as
the perfdious preachments of that un-
American convocation were waited
up over the battlements Of heaven did
not bow their heads in shame and
prayrfully murmur, Father, forgive
them, they know not what they do"
then the dead live not again.
we cannot refrain from informing
the brilliant young legislator and the
genial Mayor that if they had dupi-
Gated their meeting in the home town
of their ancestors, in speeches and pro-
cedure the government of Germany
would have turned the machine guns
of the military upon them and blown
the whole blooming assemblage to
hell and gone with as little compnc-
ton as a Brown county farmer would
crush the head of q MESSENGER he
found in his cabbage patch.
We do not believe, we cannot be-
lieve that the caustic criticism of the
military methods of the Government
which the citizens of New Ulm helped
to create and of which they are an in
tegral part, in directing and carrying
on our operations in the worlds war
for humanity, represents the true
spirit of New Ulm. 1t is up to the
loyal citizens of that commonwealth
to promptly repudiate the expressed
sentiments of their self-appointed
spokesman. If they fail to take such
action, then in the future let all mail
matter for that burg be addressed to
"Old Ulm, Germany" instead of New
Ulm, Minnesota"

ulators in provender for man and

Legislators who split hairs over
needed military legislation, jockey for
political advantage, insist on inject

the American flag and with char

New Ulm. No city on the contin-
emit owes more to America and the
protective spirit of America than she.
1t seems but yesterday, to native
Minnesotians, now past three score,
when New Ulm was surrounded by
flaming torches in savage hands and
encircled by cleaning tomahawks
welded by mufderous Indians. Am
erican citizens took their lives in their
hands and scorning possible death by
tortures most gruesome, sprang to her
rescue. Had Minnesota's manhood in
1862, acted according to the doctrines
of poltroonry, advocated by the
"Young Man Eloquent" Albert Pfaen-
der, "that man should wait until he
was struck in his own home environ
ment, before striking back" the scalps
of his parents would have been smoke
cured dangling from the ridge-pole of
Sioux Tepee, and the eloquent young
New Ulmer would never have emerged
from the realm of nothingness.

city they created on the frontier,
accumulated a competency for them

existed only in their dreams in the

We had the honor of personal
acquaintance with many of New Ulm's

them and know they were cast in

Great God! that thinning bleaching face
Does linger with me yet;
And something in those stony eyes.

And then before I went in faint,

1 heard my baby coo and laugh
The wifie's cheerful tone
And I was slipping from the earth
To leave them there alone.

Who plucked you from the gravem
But Jesus never killed man

And will He me forgive as He

And wonder bout the .1iebe Frau"
