Some several weeks ago, Capt. O.
c.. Hall, Of the M. H. G., received
an appointment as overseas secretary
for the Y M. c. A. AS he is one OF
the most popular men in the city a
movement was started to give him a
rousing testimonial and some sixty
dollars was subscribed. for that pur.
pose. About this time the draftees
were about to leave and the Hall
demonstration was side-tracked that
they might get big send-off, which
was given. Mr.. Hall has been wait.
ing for orders from the East and
they came this week and a hurry up
testimonial was rendered to him at
st. James A. M. e. Church Thursday
evening. Owing to lack of publicity
and other causes the audience was
not so large as it should have been
and would have been under different
circumstances. But there was no
doubling that each and every one
present was friend of the big
Brother"
During the evening Mrs. Matte
Blair and Mrs. S. j.. Hall sang solos
and splendid letter from M. l..
Barksdale was read.
It was a very, very enjoyable affair
marred only by the fact that it &C.
centuated the loss of our highly es-
teemed townsman and Booster from
our midst. He leaves tonight for the
East carrying with him the best
wishes of all who know him.

cation by Rev. A. H. Lealtad the Star

ter of Ceremonies, who made splen-
did speech as all the others did who
spoke. And if anyone present doubt
ed about the place, ORR G. Hall fills in
the hearts of the people Of St. Paul,
they were certainly removed by the
splendid words of commentator that
each one expressed.

The Tyranny of the Righteous

Democracy does not always get what is best but it gets what

And it expresses exactly the difference between the American

tween democracy and socialism.

One IS just as far from democracy rs the other, for democracy
proposes no class at all, II does not propose To tell the people what

The meancst tyranny on earth is the tyranny of the righteous,
or those who ilink they are righteous. Such a tyranny in mcdiaeyal
days organized religious prosecutions and tortured herctics. Such
a class led Germany into war. Such a class now dominates Russia

The Red Cross Roll Call

NNE week from today will begin the campaign
to make membership in the American Red
Cross unanimous in the United States. Dur.
ing the seven days, December 1928 it is planned
10 enroll as members every citizen of this nation,
and those in charge of the membership drive pro.
pose that "a very large number of Americans shall
JOIN several times. They call it the Red Cross Roll
Call.
One meets a few people here and there who fail
to see the necessity for continuing extraordinary
backing Tor the Red Gross now that actual fighting
has ended. Fortunately there are not many such
people.
We're our own boys all safely home again and
every training camp emptied of its tenants we
would still need to back the American Red Cross

OF actual fighting for upon the Red Cross must of
necessity fall the real work of relieving the suffer
ing left by war.

United States, gave out "a statement n few days ago
the substance of which was that people all over
Persia are falling dead as fast ms autumn leaves

ing Of $4,000 900 during january for relief in that

region ON the globe.
Syria and Palestine already have been turned
over to the Red Cross which has assumed full re
sponsibility for their populations. Beyond n doubt
the Red Cross will be called upou "a take over NOR,
