FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 2s, 1918.
A GRAND RAIN

If we were to have our rains only when everybody
was ready for them the present bone-dry condition of
this section Of the country would not be, a Circumstance
OF moisture from above. The rain interferred with the
Fair, and that Interference is regretted, of course, by all
connected with the fair or interested in it's success. But
It was a grand rain, nevertheless, and it did a lot more
good to the country than it could have done harm to a
dozen Fairs.
spots where there has been too little rain, together with
adjoining spots where the rain has been sufficient. The
crop. therefore. varies greatly. And there are gradua-
tons in the conditions, and places where rain was ur-
gently needed, but where no material damage had buen
done by its absence. The recent rains; according to re-
tire state, and the entire state is benefited. Even in
those sections where it had been necessary to plow the
crop under, the rain will have benefited pastures and
stimulated other crops which were yet growing. The
rain fell in the manner best calculated to do good.
There was no sudden downpour, and no packing of the
ground, but long, slow, penetrating downfall which has
reached the roots of the plapts and which has left the
surface in excellent condition.
Aside from the grain crops the rain will be exceed
ingly beneficial to potatoes. root crops. and gardens, and
as these are receiving more attention this year than
usual, the rain will be especially welcome on this ac-
count. ~
The moisture will be worth "a lot of money to North
Dakota, and it will mean a lot more food for those wno
need it.

THE ANGELUS RESOLUTION

lA AAS oSA1oeS SSAIy d JUL DIeSCr1D-
ing the "angelus' as the official prayer of the nation
during this period of war. The adoption of the resolution
has been made the subject Of considerable discussion
and no little criticism.
The "Angelus," as is well known, is one of the great
prayers of the Roman Catholic church. Around It's use
has been Woven a wealth of beautiful sentiment and
sacred tradition. Its use has formed the basis for one of
the worlds greatest paintings, and thousands of people,
without thought of sectarian divisions, have looked with
sympathy on the figures of Milletts Breton peasants rs
they stand with bowed head, with, evidences Of their
suspended toll about them, listening to the solemn notes
that float through the quiet air from the bells in the
distant steeple. It is not to be wondered at that devout
adherents Of the Roman church should cherish this
prayer, or that others should recognize the solemn
beauty Of the deep religious sentiment which inspires
It's use. a 4
Nevertheless, we believe, that tho senate resolution
Is . mistake, and hope to see the house decline to assent
to It. America is constitutionally a land of religious
freedom. It should be, and it is rapidly coming to be,
more and more a land Of religious tolerance and Of in
terdenominatonal sympathy. It cannot attain this
latter end unless there is an entire absence Of suspicion
that no special recognition is being sought by or given
to any sect, creed or denomination whatsoever on the
part Of our government
There seems to be no good ground to believe that
the proposal Of the senate resolution is evidence Of a
plot to secure special governmental recognition for one
group ofSrelig1ous believers at the expense Of others. It
is much more likely that the senators who voted for the
resolution did so in good faith on grounds Of sentiment
and tradition. But the fact that the adoption Of the
resolution has preciptated a controversy in which the
utterance Of this suspicion plays no inconsiderable part
shows how recently and fercely the flies Of Religious
antagonism have been burning, and how easy it is to fan
the embers Of those fires again into flames.
It is yet to be shown that there is need for the adop-
ton by the government Of any special form OF prayer
for the nation Naturally. the use OF any prayer could
only be suggested. It would remain for the individual
to pray or not as he saw At, and to use such form as
appealed to him.. But Il It should appear that for any
reason there Is occasion for set form Of prayer for the
nation. some form should. be prepared which is not re-
lated to the forms OF any particular religious denom-
ination.

Against the Amendment

Elsewhere in this paper we
print from the Ocala Star an ex-
preston of views by Hon. L. s.
Light regarding the proposed a.
mendment to the constitution in
creasing the tax for public school
purposes to ten mills. Mr.. Light is
well informed as to the financial
conditions of the state, and what
he says is entitled to serious con-
sideration.
The Herald is opposed to the
proposed amendment, primarily
because its adoption will increase
taxes, for we are already over
burdened with taxes This writer,
for example, works hard through
the whole winter to make money
with which to pay his taxes, and
he has to pay them in install
ments. The amount is so utterly
out of proportion to his income
that he never has at one time
enough money to pay all his taxes
at once. No doubt many other
people are equally hard pressed.
We are told that the schools
need more money. Well, a great
many people also need more mon
cy; and, if the amendment is a.
dopted, their need will be in
creased.
1t is conceded that the teachers
are not paid enough, but there is
a better way, than through a con
stitutional amendment to get more
money for them, and that way is
for the legislature to reduce the
cost of state and county govern
ment.. It can be done by such re-
auctions as these:
Cut the governor salary from
100000 to 100000 a year;
The salaries of the state treas
urer, of the comptroller, of the
secretary of state, of the attorney
general and of the commissioner
of agriculture from $3,600.00
year each to $2,500.00 year.
They won't resign, if this is done.
If they do, there are plenty of
good men ready to take their
places.
Reduce the number of pure
food inspectors from three to two
and thus save $2,500.0O a year.
Reduce the railroad commits
sion to one member and abolish |
the tax commission and the hotel |
Put county officers on salaries
and turn their surplus fees into
the county school fund. Don't a.
bolish the fees, for the taxpayers
don t have to pay them.
To illustrate: the clerk Of the
DeSoto county circuit is said to
make more than 100000 year
over and above the expense of
conducting his Office. If this be
so. he should be placed on sal
airy of 100000 year and the
net amount of fees above that
sum should be placed in the school
fund. And so Of the sheriff and
other county officers who are paid
in fees or commissions.
The assessor and collector of
this county are paid in commits
sions, and it is believed that they
get 100000 net year apiece.
Put them on a salary of $2,500.00
! year and give their commits
sions above that amount to the I
school fund.
