to call themselves priest while others
don't 1 would say that not all Epis-

bishops and others are deacons.
Therefore, it would not be correct
for all to cali themselves priests.
The preface to the ordinal in the
Prayer Book says that from the
Apostles time, there have been these
orders of ministers in Christ's church,
bishops, priests and deacons.' And
when, in the Episcopal church a
deacon is ordained priest, the bishop
saws Receive the Holy Ghost for the

In the present session of the ma
tional congress will come up some
matters that are Of vital importance
to the Chippewa Indians Of the state
of Minnesota, according to John
Morrison, Jr., president of the Chip
pewa Indian association of the state,
they being the idea of Mr.. Morrison
and seem like to have much merit.
For about four years, there has
been in existence what might be
termed a competency committee,
appointed by the national commission
of Indian affairs, whose duty it has
been to visit reservations and ascer-
tain the qualifications of Indians fol
conducting their own affairs and citi'
zenship. A few reservations have
been visited but it is held it will be
several years before the committee
reaches Red Lake and reservations
in the state.
It is the idea to have the district
court judges empowered to examine
into the qualifications of Indians de-
string citizenship, and if found cap
able confer upon them the rights OF
others who are citizens. Attention
is called to the fact that a district
Judge has the power to confer citi-
zenship on aliens who have been IN
the country but a few years and
President Morrison is of the belief
that the Indians of higher order OF
intelligence are as capable as are the
aliens who have been residents OF
this country only a short time.
1t is also noted that the large In,
dian schools and colleges and the

The regular weekly MONDAY
luncheon Of the Commercial club.
Wednesday noon, held much OF in
terest to the business interests or the
city and its citizens in general, Tor
several matters were broached ana
openly and frankly discussed.
Perhaps as momentous topic that
came up was the waterworks ques-
ton confronting the city and the au-
thorization of bond issue at a
special election December 81. Opin-
ions offered favored the further In
vestigation of the improvement for
increasing the capacity of the present
system, and it also seemed to be the
general sentiment to retain the we'll
system in preference to a filter sys-
tenn, with its source in Lake irving.
It was asserted that the we'll pipe
did not reach far down in the screens
to secure the water flowing into the
wells, that the pipe reached only TO
he top of the screens, preventing
the pipe from getting good hold on
The supply.
Little Co-operation. .
Mayor Vandersluis was present
and he spoke, stating that he and the
city council had been practically ig-
nored by the citizens of the city Tor
year, that hardly anyone hnd ad-
dressed the council on the subject OF
water although repeatedly, invited to.
that no offers Of help nor suggestions
had been received and that the coun-
Gil had done what 1t considered
proper for the people Of Bemidi,
with the objections coming at the
last minute.
Various citizens interested and
present admitted they had not offered
anything and the general sentiment
was one of apology for having been
remiss in lending hand in the solu-
ton of the vexatiousr problem.
Postal Service Target.
Bemidji's postal Nservice,1 long
target for severe criticism, was an
other matter that came before the
business men. Several related their
experiences with the service. not
flattering to say the least, but Post
master Ritchie, who was present, told
of the addition OF another clerk to
the office force and expressed his be-
lief the service would be improved IN
the future.

Dr. Edward W. Ryan, the American Red Cross surgeon who became one of the popular heroes of Serbia be- cause of his work in caring for the wounded and fighting the typhus pla- que, is 8 native of Scranton, Pa., and has rad an adventurous career. Dr. Ryan was himself stricken with the disease, but fortunately recovered and resumed his work among the stricken Serbians. Dr. Ryan first be- came affiliated with the Red Cross about five years ago. His first ser- vice was at the American embassy in the city of Mexico, during the first revolution against Diaz, and he super intended the care of many wounded men. He had several narrow escapes while in Mexico, but his work brought fame as well as danger. On one occasion he was taken prisoner by a raiding band of insurgents and threatened with death, but he escap- ed. His efforts fors anitation saved many lives in the Mexican capital in that period when all government mea- sures for sanitation were relaxed.

FEAST OF ST. LAWRENCE.

Tn the calendar of the church to- day Is the festival of St. Lawrence, the martyr whose name was given by Jacques Cartier to Canada's mightiest river. It was on the feast day of St. Lawrence that the French navigator entered the bay, and to this circum- stance the great waterway owes its memorable name.
 On his first voyage in 1534, Carriers vessel arrived at the very threshold of the river, but the explorer sailed home without becoming aware of the existence of the noble stream. On his second voyage in 1885, with the ships La Grande Hermine, 120 tons, La Petite Hermine, 60 tons, and L'Emerillon, even smaller, Cartier again reached Anticosti, which he christened He de rAssemption, and on the tenth of August, gave the name of St. Lawrence to the bay he had en- tered. By the first of September he reached the mouth of the Saguenay, and on the fourteenth of that month came to the entrance of a river, some thirty miles below Quebec, which he christened St. Croix. The next day l ne was visited Dy DOnnaCOna, an Al gonquin chief, with whom he was en- abled to converse, the two Indians he had kidnapped on a previous voyage acting as interpreters.
 Leaving his two larger ships be- hind, Cartier, with the Emerillon, sailed up the river as far as Lake St. Peter. There, his further progress being interrupted by a bar in the stream, he took to his boat with three volunteers, and on October 2nd arriv- ed at the Indian village of HocheIa- ga, which he called Mount Royal whence the present name of Montreal After a few days he returned to his ships at the mouth of the St. Croix where the winter was spent. The se- verity of the climate and disease, but above all the scurvy, worked fright ful ravages, and with the coming ot spring Cartier and the survivors sail. ed away for France, taking with them Donnacona and nine other chiefs whom they had kidnapped.

WRONG TIME TO
 THINK OF PEACE

The American Alliance for Labor and Democracy made public yesterday an article written by Clarence Darrow the Chicago labor lawyer, who sailed recently for England, where he will tell the British people the mission and aim of America in the war.
 "When hear man talking of how this war will be settled" said MT. Oar row in the article, q know he is giv- ing aid and comfort to our enemy in time of war. It is no time to talk about terms of peace until we begin to fight.
 When the foe is in front of us we have no time to think of peace. Peace will come when the German military machine is destroyed, and it cannot come before. Neither have I any use for the faint-hearted or those who say we cannot conquer Germany; that we cannot win; that it may be a draw. It would be better that our cause should go down in ruin and defeat than that we should have an inconclu- sive peace in the end.
 Peace? There is no peace in the world today. There is no chance for peace. The earth is not big enough for peace and Prussian militarism al Sonce."

WAGE ADJUDICATION

 The scale will be much higher than the present scae cay in does not require special knowledge to warrant the statement for is the policy of the government to raise wages level with the increased cost of living
 This adjudication will be wholesome regardless of the rate wages Workers ought to receive enough to meet increased of living It is necessary that they should Thus there will be stability of employment the avoidance of strikes and other sopages of production

THIS IS INDEPENDENCE
 DAY IN ECUADOR

The first of 8, series of revolutions which resulted in the independence of Ecuador began on August 10, 1909, just 108 years ago today, and the 10th of August is still celebrated as inde- pendence day in the South American republic. On the date in question the citizens of Quito deposed the Spanish governor, Castilla, and set up a revo- lutionary junta. After a bitter struggle the Spaniards regained the ascendency, and held it in spite of sev- eral rebeIIions until 1920, when the citizens of Guayaquil inaugurated a successful revolution. In 1922 the royalists were completely routed by Gen. Sucre. The presidency of Qui- to was then incorporated with the greater Colombia of Simon Bolivar. This union continued until 1880, when an independent republic, which was given the name of Ecuador, was es- tablished. Since then Ecuador has had numerous rebelIions, and for sev- eral years the country has been more or less unsettled politically. In fact, it might be said that the most popular outdoor sport of the Ecuadorians is to have a little revolution, in which re- spect they resemble their neighbors. Despite the continuous unrest, how ever, Ecuador is making distinct pro- gress toward economic prosperity, which will undoubtedly bring politi- cal stability with it. The name of Ecuador was given to the republN be- cause of it's situation under the equa- tor
