ANTON WEISS.

A NTON C. WEISS has completed his twenty.
~ sixth year Of work in making the Duluth
Herald the splendid newspaper it is. They
have been twenty-six years of accomplishment
and achievement and credit to any man. Mr..
Weiss has not only done big work for his own
paper and for his own section of the state but
has long been deservedly power for good in
the entire state. Nowhere is the name Anton
Weiss spoken with more pride, respect and admi-
ration than right here where Mr. Weiss was born
and raised and where he spent his boyhood learn
ing the lessons which have made his manhoods
record possible. Anton is one of the big excep-
tons to the rule that mo man is hero iii his
own country" May he have twice twenty-six
more years of power and hepfulness!

CHRIST THE ISSUE.

"a Christmas Editorial by Henry Watterson)
O HALL it be written that the nations, having
reached the apex of the acclivity-having
arrived where Greece was-where Rome
was-wealth and luxury able to go no farther
deliberately set themselves to annihilate one an
other and to destroy the accretions of the cen
turies? As matters are, who can say they may
not be for the third time on the down grade,
headed for another cycle of what we call ssthe
Dark Ages?''
Surely the future looks black enough, yet it
holds hope, single hope One and one power
only, can arrest the descent and save US. That
is the Christian religion
Democracy is but side issue. The paramount
issue, underlying the issue of democracy, is the
religion of Christ, and Him crucifed; the bed
rock Of civilization; the source and resource of
all that is worth having in the world that is, that
gives promise in the world to come; not as an
abstraction; not as huddle Of sects and fac

JEANETTE AGAIN.

7 YEANETTE Rankin has mothered another bril-
liant ideal She told the w. C. T. U. convention
u in Washington recently just how each commun-
ity should have newspaper board similar to
its school board Then the paper should be cir
culated among the people free of charge Miss
Rankin would have all the articles written by
responsible people of the community and signed
by them, and every article she would have passed
upon and approved by the newspaper board Then
the press according to Miss Rankin's superior
judgment, would be public well free. Now
watch for Joe Reynolds and several others to
bob up and say 'that's just like woman"
They'll sure say it, and, by golly, we don't know
but what they are right. 1t is just like woman
-a~woman who has never been up against the
newspaper in the making and has only soulful
ideas instead of practical ones. Jeanette and
the newspaper problem is just like the old maid
and the old bachelor who know exactly how
large and active family can be brought up to be
useful citizens with trouble to anyone in the
bringing up.

Nazarene upon the hillsides Of Judea, sanctified
by the Cross of Calvary, has survived every as
sault It is now arrayed upon land and sea to
meet the deadliest of all assaults, Satan turned
loose for one last, final struggle.
The kaiser boldly threw down the gauge of
battle-nfdel Germany against the believing
world-"kultur' against Christanity-the Cos
pel of Hate against the Gospel of Love- Thus
is he Satan sonifed-"Myself and God" mere

Never did Crusader lift battle in holier war
against the Saracen than is waged by our sol
diers of the cross against the German. The is=
sues are indeed identical.
If the world is to be saved from destruction
physical no less than spiritual destruction it
will be saved alone by the Christian religion.
That eliminated leaves the earth to eternal war.
For fifty years Germany has been organizing and
laboring to supplant it with "kultur,' the genius
of infideity Her college professors have been
obsessed with it. Her universities have seethed

are bade to gather about it and beneath it as
sadly they collect the debris of their ruin for
the reconstruction Of the fatherland.
