year. Alta League meeting recently.
an attempt was made to put through
an endorsement of the opponents of
the present judges, but it was blocked
by those who feared that an out-and-
out endorsement would be boomer
ang. However, some of the League
leaders hold to the opinion that the
League should oppose the present
judges, and they, undoubtedly, will
start an undercurrent that will result
in large number of League votes be-
ing cast against Brown, Holt and
Hallam. The lawyers of the state
are taking the initiative in the cam
paign for the present judges. The
Voluntary Committee, which opened
headquarters at the Saint Francis Ho-
telfi st. Paul, about the first of Oc-
tober, has drawn the lawyers together
and they are working in each county
distributing the literature of the
judges and posting placards urging
votes for all three. The aim of the
committee is to put the names of the
three present judges before the vot-
ers, for those in charge of the CAM
paign believe that the disposition of
the people is to keep good judges in
office, and if the names of the candi-
dates for reelection are advertised to
a sufficient extent, there will be no

There will not be special session
of the Legislature to care for the fire
sufferers in Northern Minnesota.
Governor Burnquist has SO decided
and the stand taken is generally ap-
proved. Certain Twin City newspap-
ers were among the first to agitate a
special session of the Legislature but
it is generally agreed that they were
actuated more by politics than any
thing else. AS Governor Burnquist
views it, the State Calamity Board,
which is composed of the Chief Ex-
ecutive, Attorney General, State
Treasurer, and State Auditor, have
ample legal authority to provide
temporary relief in the way Of money.
This Board, under a law passed by the
last Legislature, is authorized to ex-
pend state funds when an unforeseen
calamity such as now exists manifests
itself. The Calamity in question is
the greatest in the history of the
state and should this Board even ex-
coed it's authority, there is no doubt
that the next Legislature will validate
it's every action. In addition to the
State Calamity Board, the State
Safety Commission has quite fund
at its command and between the two.
not to speak of private subscriptions,
ample aid will be provided. To call
the Legislature together in special
session would mean an expenditure
not far short of fifty thousand dollars
and if this amount can be saved it
will ulean that much more for the

HERBERT wins EASY
VICTORY over COFFEE

necktie, would II mean that 1t was q
foul neck liz !? or that the player would
have fowl for Thanksgiving? 2" This
was the question asked by Coffee last
night when the referee called . good
billiard shot by him and probably
prevented him from making q good
run. when his neckte accidentty
'draped" itself around his cue ball.
George Herbert, who was h2ndi-
capped ninety of the glossy pills.
achieved an easy victory over Coffee.
whose handicap was 100, winning by
score Of ninety against Coffee's
score of seventy nine. Coffee made
the high run of the match, thirteen OF
the worries. against Georges run OF
eleven pills. Coffee also made a run
OF nine balls and Herbert one of ten.

In one of the most practical books
OF the Bible on ethics we have the
injunction concerning the law OF pc
nevolence: Give portion TO seven
and also to eight, for thou knowes,
not what evil shall nc upon the effrth.
The portion to seven is that "nlcii
we owe to all the regular objects or
our own Church which have right
full claim upon us. The portion TO
eight Is the overflow of our cup; the
excess of our goodness: the plus OF
our sacrifice.
The American Christian Literature
Society for Moslems was organized In
1915, and has for Its object the pro-
duction and distribution of Christian
literature among Moslems through
agencies on the foreign field.

the message in this form is more per-
suasive. more permanent, and reaches

trated into the most secluded villages,
Twenty years ago missionary IN

session very soon after the fourth of
March To enact the tax bill. 1t is
agreed on ell sides that to delay the
enactment OF the bill until the time
for the converting OF the regular ses-
sion in December OF 1919 would in
iure business to a greater extent than
to enact the pending bill without the
1920 clause in it.
Say It's Theoretical
Senator Fenrose. who seeus to be
chairman OF the finance committee
when the Republicans take control,
said that the Republican members OF
the committee look upon Secretary
McAdoo's proposal as theoretical and
that 1t would be unfair TO the new
congress to allow tie present con-
gress TO legislate so far in the future.
He said

Regardless of the wishes Of in
dividuals or groups" Mr. Morrison said,
amy reduction OF present wage scales
in this country will be opposed by the
workers. who will not accept wage re-
auctions for the simple reason that

sought in connection with many ques-

HOFFMAN Breaks the News.
The first hint that plans for a
counter revolt are afoot comes from
Conrad HOFFMAN, an American Y. M.
c. A. worker who has just arrived in
Switzerland after spending three
years in Germany. He reports that

Al a meeting in a speech violently de
nouncing the inadeGuacy OF the Ebert
government which. he said, WAS
driving him TO repeat the methods OF
the Russian reds in Germany. He
praised the Russian Bnfsheviki, saving
they had accomplished Wondered
results"
But there are signs confirming
what was said In these dispatches the
other day: Bolshevism, as such, could
succeed in Russia only because the
situation and the lack Of discipline
and intelligence OF the great masses
were its allies. The Germans have
discipline in their flesh and blood,

Now, Iiebknecht tries TO convince
them that there Is another war to be

ground in Russia, but in Germany,
where state socialism has been In
force for more than a quarter of a
century, ana where the war almost
turned the empire into one great
socia iistic community, except for the
militarism in the field. the preachings
of class war have fundamentally no
"raison d'etre."
But Liebknecht has "a weapon that
is sharper than the keenest logic.
