THE CHURCH AND IT'S CHANCE

This war will give the church it's great
est chance Will it make good?-Rev.
Chas Stelzle. r., ..- .. 80
: When the Israelites, after 400 years of cap
tivity in Egypt, were to depart to conquer the
promised land" they sprinkled blood on the side
posts and door lintels of their homes. Baptized
their faith anew in blood. .. -" ~
7 When at the last supper, Jesus took and raised
the cup, He said: "This is my blood drink We all
of it. For, as oft as We drink We shall proclaim my
death. Do it till come again, but when come, 1t
will be in power-to set up My Kingdom" ,..
Religious evolution or progression always is &C.
companed by blood, sacrifice and martyrdom. In
the present war there is clear alignment between
Christian civilization and materialisn, meaning
might is right and backed even by anti-Chrlst
Spiritually considered it is religious war, though
not so proclaimed and though undenominational
The Teuton-Turk proposition that might is right
is alone sufficient to give the issue religious sig
nificance and standing 49,:
What is the power" and "kingdom" of Christs
coming again? The strongest power is love. No
kingdom lasts that is not based on love.
What do the enormous losses in lives and prop
erty in this war mean but that the nations Of men
must work together, think together more harmoni-
ously than ever before, to rehabilitate? What
issues from the frightfu sufferings and ruins OF
Belgium Serbia and Armenia is worldwide SYM
pathy and charity stronger and deeper than man
kind ever before felt. How many millions of fan1i-
lies will, through their losses of sons, husbands
fathers brothers. drink from this cup of blood and
be drawn away from the material to the spiritual!
Indeed, it will be the church's greatest chance
as DIR. Stelzle says. And, if the merciless, bloody
hand of Teuton autocracy seizes all, it will be the
churchs greatest calamity. Hard the labor, un-
certain the fate of the church if ever the helish
doctrine that might is Right" rules that part Of
the world wherein the church has found freedom
and opportunity for growth. ....
All this is not predicting that, after this war;
Christ will come again in person to His kingdom
But he says he will not come until in power-until
love rules.

A COURAGEOUS CANDIDATE

In declining the Nonpartisan leagues endorse
ment of his candidacy for the state senate, James
Cumming, of East Grand Forks, puts his finger on
the fatal defect Of the leagues policy-ts purpose
to array class against class. Said Mr.. Cumming
in his letter.:
In all my past, as a citizen and as member of
the legislature, have opposed any favoritism to-
any class of people, and am opposed to any plan
which seeks to, or may array one class OF our peo-
pie against another. believe the farmers can or
ganize and promote their interests without antag-
onizing any other class of people,
The socialists who conceived and organized the
Nonpartisan league and now control it as if it were
their own personal property, have from the outset
tried to persuade the farmers that they should be
Ishmaelites, with their hand against every man
and every mans hand against them. The program
offered for farmer support is designed to make of
those who till the soil privileged Glass; bearing
minimum of the burdens Of taxation, and enjoying
special favoritism. Even the small town mer
chant is to be deprived of his livelihood by means
of stores ostensibly cooperative but actually the
property of the leagues inner circle.
Mr. Cumming is farmer, but that does not
prevent him from being an American citizen and
Mnnesotan first. He conceives of this common
wealth, it is safe to say, as made up of all kinds
of citizens engaged in all manner of pursuits
with correlative and interconnected interests and
all marching forward together toward a greater
prosperity and larger usefulness in the union
Not by emphasizing class distinctions, not by an
tagonizing those engaged in one pursuit against
those engaged in others, but by policy of inteli-
gent justice to all, shall Minnesota be advantaged.
Another reason also strongly influenced Mr.
Cumming to decline the endorsement of the league,
though he has himself been member thereof
That is his well grounded doubts of the loyalty
not of the farmer members, but Of the manage
ment of the league. He reads of the conviction of
officers of the league charges Of disoyalty, but
he has mot yet observed that any of the persons
so convicted have lost their positions as officers
He adds: ....
In view of the atmosphere which surrounds the
of the Nonpartisan league, man.
agement in which l. though member, have never
had a voice or vote, must at this time, because
l am determined that my loyalty shall be above
suspicion decline the Endorsement
Here is candidate for office who has the cour-
age of his convictions.- Minneapolis Journal.

ON THE FRYING PAN

The entente and Germany are in battle of
diplomacy for Holland and, if recent history is
worth cent as a criterion, Holland is going to do
pretty much as Germany desires. Since the begin
ming of the war German diplomacy has won the
victories, save in one instance, very important
one-the forcing Of America into the war. ~
Holland is crammed with Teuton propagan-
dists, much of her press has been bought up by
Germans, she is almost wholly dependent upon
Germany for fuel and it is likely that she would
have materially favored Germany long ago, had it
not been that breach of neutrality would mean her
immediate loss of all her colonies ,.
Holland could give to Germany 400 900 or $780,
600 trained soldiers almost right on the spot Of the
big conflict now raging. She could also give Ger
many some new and important advantages in the
U-boat warfare @,.+
Holland is one of the nations that might be de-
cidedy influenced by threat Of trade boycott.
She has big sources of wealth in Java, Sumatra,
Dutch Guinea and the West Indies and an export
trade in certain commodities that she. enjoys al
most exclusively. ''''
= Watch Holland! She may become another
Rumania Whatever she does will be most impor-
tant. -,

UNIVERSITY MAN
APPEALS TO PEOPLE
TO MAKE GARDENS
Prof. Frederick Cranetield OF Univer-
sity of Wisconsin in City Hall
Thursday Predicts High
Priced Vegetables.

The war gardening meeting held in
the city hall Thursday evening at
which Prof. Frederick Cranefield, head
of the University Of Wisconsin Horti-
cultural department, spoke under the
auspices Of the War Gardens commit
tee of the Local Defense Council, was
attended by a representative crowd.
Max Tetzlaff, chairman of the War
Gardens committee, introduced the
speaker.
At the outset Prof Cranefeld spoke
not so much on gardening for the
sake Of raising food. The speaker
stated that we do not plant gardens
to increase food production.
There are many reasons why rails
ing Of vegetables is looked upon as
helpful when we consider the high
food values and because the time is
coming when there will be a shortage
in the vegetable CROP" said the speak
en- One reason brought out was that
they could be substituted for cereals
and in that way would be a wonderful
help in conserving food.
THE selfish view can be taken in
that respect. Vegetables this season
are bound to be higher in price Can
neries are contracting for future
crops at much higher prices. Then
too, the government has comman-
deered a lot of the proposed canned
crop. Merely as a precaution against
these future prices all people should
raise vegetables" he said.
The speaker urged the planting of
root crops, such as squash, carrots,
beets, and turnips that could be stored
in the cellar.
THE workingman will plant a gar
den. Another class that should plant a
garden is the business and profess
sional man. said the speaker ''Why?"
he said in response ito do a patriotic
act" Writing a check for the Liberty
loan, Belgian relief, is all right, but
to till with his own hands and produce
food is much finer, for in doing this
he makes some sacrifice" he declared.
1.-The man who of an evening sits
on the front porch, or sits by a lamp
reading is soft and should get out and
harden up; for it is a sacrifice of body
and soul. Besides, you have one more
hour Of daylight"
Mr.. Cranefeld stated that he had
walked about the city and that in the
better residential districts the lack of
gardens was apparent. ut is not ne
cessary to plough up the front lawn
Several of them can get together and
have lot and do the spading, seeding,
cultivating, themselves. If they pay to
have it done, the check example ap-
plies" he said
Women must do their share They
must can all vegetables that can be
canned or they will pay top prices in
the fall for them" the speaker said. He
then spoke on what to plant, explain
ing, the varieties and what should be
grown in order to get the best re-
suits.

GAME WARDEN BUSY
DIDN'T KNOW THE LAW

A game warden got busy Thursday
morning near the dam in this city
and chased away people who were
fishing with a hook and line. AS the
law allows such fishing his action
was certainly strange. The law allows
hook and line fishing in the Rock and
Crawfish rivers in Dodge and Jeffer-
son counties. But no live or dead min
nows can be used between March l
and May %.
Artificial bait may be used. This in
formation was given Senator Mulber-
ger on Thursday evening, and will be
transported to the game warden who
was so officious in the matter.
