What ought ministerial students learn at
the Methodist Universities, and at the other
Protestant Colleges, where ministerial in
struction is given?
They should be taught the following vital
truths, which can all be substantiated by I'M
deniable historic proofs:
o. That the Christian church, founded
by Paul, at Rome, was exactly the same, IN
creed and form, as that which Peter estab-
lished at Antioch; Matthew, at Batanaa
James, at Jerusalem; Paul, at Ephesus &c.
(2.) That the Eastern churches gradually
developed supreme head, known as the Pa
tri0rch, which office is now held by Russian,
in Petrograd, formerly St. Petersburg)
while the Western churches slowly evolved
supreme head, known as the Pope, which
office is now held by an italian in Rome.
(3.) That there were many Christian
churches, founded By the APOSTLES, which
avoided the deadly path of centrazi8m and
pr5estcroft, adhering loyalty to the primitive
doctrines and forms.
This is immensely important, and is not
generally known, even to clergymen.
Fen priests hn0aO 1t, because they are
moulded like bricks in a kiln, just as too many
preachers are.
The Christian churches which steadfastlv
maintained primitive creed and form are, the
Waldensians, the Syrians, the HISTORIANS, the
Armenians, the Greeks, and the Jacobites.

First of all, you must realize that the length
Of the battle-line is only about so miles, and
its width less than ten

territory by four million men, tens Of thous-

which the men on duty at the front have to
live, sleep, and fight.
Imagine deafening roar of cannon
thunder, lasting all night and all day, every
day III the week, every week in the month
Imagine tens Of thousands of soldiers MAX
ing charges, every few hours, on several parts
of this short battle line; and imagine those
soldiers falling, under the terrible fire Of can
non, machine-guns, rifles, and hand grenades.
Imagine at least one hundred thousand of
these soldiers killed along that short line,
every month; and twice as many wounded

STATE SENATOR
EATS HIS WORDS
Milwaukee Socialist Stirs Senate
TO Storm by His Remarks Before
That Body

Senator Frank Raguse, Milwaukee,
socialist, Tuesday night faced formal
action to expel him as member of
the Wisconsin senate, because of his
definition of patriotism, which some
of the members construed as state
ment bordering upon disloyalty.
During the debate on the Wilcox
resolution, to distribute $4,000 copies
of President Wilson'S message declar-
ing war On Germany, Raguse said that
he understood, from accounts in news
papers, that the Maine was blown up
from the inside to create patriotism,
which, he believed, can be created only
in two ways, namely, by destroying
property or destroying lives.
If the socialist member had thrown
a stick of dynamite into the senate
chamber he could not have caused
more excitement Senators Burke,
Bennett and Jennings were quick to
take issue with him, Burke announc-
ing that unless Raguse retractea his
statement he would take formal steps
TO have him expelled.
Withdraws Remarks
Senator Raguse, apparently realiz-
ing that Burke meant what he said,
withdrew, his remarks.
81 have been misunderstood" said
he. 81 did not wish to commit an act
of disloyalty. If you wish me to re-
tract nay statement, ] shall do ss.'

CASES HEARD
At MADISON
Supreme Court Renders Decisions
Interesting TO People Of This
County

The supreme court at Madison on
Tuesday handed down number OF
decisions, three of which are Of inter
est to Sank county people.
The case Of John S. Greeney and
others VS.. Charles g. Greeney and
others was affirmed. The case in
wolves the right to divide the pro-
ceeds of the sale Of one-ffth OF the
Greeny farm near Alderman. Judge
O'Neil1 decided the two wives and
creditors of Charles e. Greeney had
right to sell and divide his share OF
the estate, his location being uR-
known. The supreme court has af-
firmed the decision.
The case of Hannah White, admin
istratrix, against the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
appellant, was also affirmed. T. j..
White took out a certificate in favor
of his mother, Ellen White, in the in
surance order Of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen.
White disappeared before January l,
| 1904, and no trace can be found OF
him. His mother, Ellen White, died
July IS, 1904, and his father on June
! s, 1912. His sister Hannah and Nor.
i gan White brought this action for the
recovery of the face of the policy. The
! lower court awarded s1,e30, and the
Brotherhood appealed.
| Must Build Road
Some time ago there was petition
! to change a road between the Weld
man settlement and Ableman in or
der to reduce a grade Fhe abandon
ing of bridge over the Baraboo river
/ and the erection Of a new one was
also involved The commissioners
who went over the ground approved
of the change, but the town officers
opposed. According to the decision
change the road, but according to the
decision of the supreme court the
road must be changed. Most Of those
who desire the road changed reside
in the town of Westfeld, and those
who oppose reside in Excelsior, which
town must bear greater portion of
the expense. The new road will pass
through portion Of the Greeney
farm.
Can't Recover Printing Damages
In the case Of James Barnard
against l. W. Cohen, the court affirm
ed the decision of the lower court. 1t
held that punitory damages cannot
be recovered where the compensatory
damages are merely nominal.
Mr.. Barnard, former postmaster of
Spring Green, and for the past sew
eral years an employee Of the state
board Of control, brought this action
against Mr.. Cohen, a merchant at
Spring Green, claiming that Cohen
leging that he did not pay his bills.
Barnard was, at one time, an en-
ployee of Cohen and on leaving the
employ it was claimed the accounts
were not settled as between Barnard
and Cohen. Barnard sued Cohen for
printing his name in the book. The
circuit court of Dane county, through
a jury, found no compensatory dam
ages, but $500 punitory damages. The
circuit judge reduced the amount to
S cents compensatory damages and
cents punitory damages. The qucs-
ton presented in this case was wheth-
er there must be substantial actual
damages before punhory damages
may be imposed. Barnard appealed.
