A LOYALIST LEGISLATURE

The advance agreements of large
majority of the members of the Min
nesota House to name w. I. Nolan
Speaker, is more than a testimonial
of personal confidence in the Min
neapolis man-it is a promise that
the House will be organized and oper-
ated on constructive lines by the hea-
Wy majority.
The small coterie of Nonpartisan
Leaguers, which had hoped to attain
power and influence by holding the
balance of power between hostile fac
tions,l has NOW received notice to
recede into the background. Each
member of it bartered away his liber-
ty of action in advance by agreeing,
IN return for League support, to OBJ
ey the League caucus But the peo-
pie of Minnesota convinced of the
essential disloyal of the League man
agement, declined to send most of it's

and strove for-the elimination of
all that America has stood for in its
history.
It is no light task that is set before
US. Ancient antipathies must be still
ed; old rivalries must be reconciled.
Differences of language aid customs
must somehow be bridged over. Each
nation must subdue it's pride to yield
somewhat of its sovereignty to the
common concern.
It must be done somehow; it Will
be done. 1t will come as peace te-
turned to our country after the Civil
War because the interests which
bound us together were stronger than
the antipathies that tore apart. The
world has learned through war that
all humankind is one community. The
nations which have been that they can
not live at variance must find how
to dwell together the world. 1t
has come home to us all at last that
we are all knit together in one; that
no man liveth to himself or depth to
himselffi Il am a man." said the

The emergency need has proved the
great value of nurses aids and as
sistants to work in cooperation with
graduate nurses. Eight thousand
nine hundred and thirty-nine pupil
nurses, practical nurses, aids and vol
unteer helpers were used. Laywomen
helpers were pressed into service, and
one sixteen-year-old girl writes of
bathing a four weeks-old Italian baby
"who had the pneumonia, but was a
dear, when recognizable"
In military camps and cantonment
hospitals, the situation has been vc1y
critical. In Camp Dodge, Iowa from
2 deaths on October l, the rate grew
to 81 on October IA. The number of
nurses rose 242 on duty the first of
the month, to $40 on duty on October
IA.
"The question was", writes the ma
iron of the Red Cross House at Camp
Dodge, what should we do with the
nurses? We had sc to house over
night, so the big room, library and

candidates to the Legislature. The
remnant who did win are likely to
cut but a sorry figure in legislative
councils.
There is constructive work for the
loyalist majority to do. The propos-
ed ban of the red flag of socialism
and anarchy, is well. The plan to
forbid the use of any language but
English for school instruction in Min
nesota, is well. Other legislation al
ong the line of Americanizing those
alien communities of the State which
now cherish the language, institutions
and customs of the old countries,

A Chance For
Your Boy to
Get Education
Free Of Charge

There is available $145 in cash to
apply on the board and room of any
boy in Pinellas county who wants to
enter the State university at Gaines
vile and enroll in an agricultural
course. The tuition is free. Any fur
ther information about the matter
may be obtained from Mr.. j. N.
Brown, clerk of the circuit court, at
Clearwater, Fla.
The appropriation was made by the
county commissioners in June. Up to

been made for it. While the appro-
priation is only for one year, the COM
missioners are authorized to continue
the same annually and any boy who
wants to avail himself of the oppor-
tunity for an agricultural education,
would have from one to four years
free training with board and room at
the State university for this purpose.

Great Tri-County S.

At Bpm, Tomorrow; Don't Miss 1t!

to perpetuate convention system we
have placed the burden cf a modern
program of religious education. The
educational leadership and the fnan-
cial support have been insufficient for
the new tasks. The modern system
of church schools cannot be sustained
by the old system of county, city and
state associations. AS long as the,
task was limited to the propagation
of the old time Sunday schools
through a convention system, it would
serve, but the modern system of
church schools, community training
schools, weekday religious schools,
district normal training schools, col
lege and university departments of
religious education, ETC., demand
more substantial underpinning.
The modern Sunday school of today
is quite an improvement over the old
ssytem of just few years past, but
the time allowed for the recitation pc
rod is not enough per week. Chris
tan sentiment is demanding and re-
ligious educators acclaim, that we
must build system of week day re-
ligious schools paralleling that of the
public school, thoroughly co-ordinat-
.ing it with the gp,shlie school work
The 80 minutes per week system has
proven unequal to the task, as IS per
cent of those we have in our Sunday
schools leave during the teen age and
are lost to the church, and as we can
not teach religion in the public
schools nor use state funds for the
teaching of same, it is therefore left
to the church to teach religion, and

ROCKS IMPR|SON
PICNIC PARTIES
Mountain Trails BIockaded AS the
Result of Earthquakes In
California.

ELCENTRO, Cal, April 23.-Re-
lief parties have been sent into the
mountains to rescue two large picnic
and several smaller parties of pleas
ure seekers, who are reported to
have been imprisoned as the result
of the several earthquakes which
rocked Southern California Sunday
and yesterday.
The shocks loosened great boulders
who rolled down the mountains and
filled the trails so completely as to
prevent travel in either direction.
The picnic parties were compelled
to spend the night in the woods,
without shelter.
