A FEDERATED CHURCH

Since everybody else Is discussing
the church" question In Beaver, 1t
Is not amiss that The Herald should
have something to say on the subject.
The publisher Is q member Of de-
nomination and has pronounced views
upon some matters pertaining there
to. at any rate as pronounced as our
limited knowledge of the Gospel Will
warrant. but we are an enthusiastic
believer in the Federated or Commun-
ity Church idea. II appeals to us as
the only real Christian worship and
the one plan by which all broad
minded liberal Christians should be
able to unite but such union could
not be affected of course with any of
the parties thereto holding onto de-
nominational views or advantage.
Each church so uniting would OF
course have to relinquish denomina-
tionalism and one organization could
have no more prestige in the FEEDER
a.ed church than would the other. 1t
! seems that Beaver church people have
not reached the point where they can
do this Until they do, the Federated
or Community church can never be a
reality.
| Our plan for a Community church
would be the same as for any other
community affair. We would first
break all the ties that bind" us 10
denominations, burn the bridges be-
hind us, so TO speak, and go into the
matter Scott free. First we would
select the building in which the Com
munity church was to have its home
II would lose its identity as a de-
nominational church aud henceforth
and forever would be n Community
church in name and in fact. The
church home selected, we would then
| proceed to sell or to convert the 9th
er church buildings of the town into
] other needed community buildings
such as public library, women's rest
rooms, etc. In the case of Beaver, In
view of the fact that the Presbyterian
church Is the oldest church building
In Oklahoma its historic value woult
not permit 1t TO be razed or converted
to other than public benefit. 1t |!
toe small to accommodate a Com
munity church but it would make 1
splendid public library and as such
could be retained in its historic ant
original state. Disposition of the 9th
er church buildings could be made t.
meet the public demand. In this way
denominational ties would be broken
no particular church organization
would be retained at the expense o
the others and a Community church
in truth and in fact. would exist.
We realize that this theory woul,
perhaps meet opposition by those 60
ing into such an organization halt
heartedly but we fail to see where
could be Objectionable to the Com
munity church believer in reality
however so complete a removal fron
denominationalism is perhaps too ad
vanced to meet with popular approx
al just now but 1t must come IL tn
Community church is ever to be re
allied.

Some two years ago the bridge
across the Arroyo, north of Beaver.
at the point where the state road
crosses that stream. was washed out
by high water. 1t is still out notwith-
standing the fact that. that road is
the only highway over which the peo-
pie of the north side of the river may
reach the county seat. Many thou
sands of dollars were spent by the
business people of Beaver and For
gan to place that public highway in
a passable condition. After that was
done. ii is little enough to expect the
Board OF County Commissioners to
see that 1t is maintained The condi-
tion of the road and the treacherous
crossing where the bridge went out,
is the best evidence of how uttrely
they have failed to give the matter
fair and Just consideration.

SEES THE HANDWRITING

Congressman Joe Thompson of the
fifth Oklahoma district in letter to
Chairman Humphrey of the corpora
tion commission relative to the gov
ernment's control of public utilities
says, you will find that in the next
campaign people are going to repudi-
ate all candidates that in these time
of stress have failed to speak, open
and above board, against the foolish
ness propagated by Messrs. McAdoo
and Burleson. l make this observa-
tion not on your account but for
those with whom you may come in
contact In the furtherance of such
argument as you may make for your
proposition"

DEMOCRATIC METHODS

BY an order of Postmaster Gener-
al Burleson, in charge of cable, tele-
graph and telephone lines. the rates
for service have been raised in Okla
homa. By order of the state corpora
tion commission an injunction has
been issued against the Southwest
Bell telephone company raising its
rate. The government order was
obeyed. Now the company has been
fined $4,000 for violating the in
junction of the state court. Other
fines will follow as long as the gov
ernment order is observed. This Is
just one illustration of the mess the
democratic party has gotten this
country into.

1t was intended to have an
nounced the beginning of the
test at the Red Hill Oil & Gas
Company's No. l for Monday,
March Sd, but the increase in
the showing of oil and the re-
markably favorable formation,
coupled with the delay in getting
some of the material with which
to make the test, caused the
postponement for a few days.
This will give time to deter
mine what the formation, the
drill is now approaching, con-
tains. Lime, black slate and
sand has continued for 800 feet
and the driller says he has never
failed to get big well in such
formation.
Local interest is manifested in
the rapidity with which the par
stock is being taken and the de-
sire to drill on till the big pay is
reached or the formation chang
es. With assurance that the
oil sands of the upper level will
not be lost by going deeper, this
is wise course and gives the
stockholders the benefit Of the
possibility of a big well in the
lower level. The well is now
drilling at $3.50 feet. Adv.

railroads again will be diminished.
Several large industrial plants already

Belgium this year sent most or us
coal to Holland-over 100000 tons:
England sent coal until the strike OF
the miners, when all imports stopped.
America sends the least coal to Hol-

Dutch mines have produced fewer tons
so far this year than in 1918.

Because Of the warmth of the

the older veterans would succumb

zens, that is fundamental misconcep-
ton of what it is to be an American.
These gentlemen are doing harm
which they do not realize. want to
testify to you here tonight. my fellow
countrymen, because l have the means
of information, that, since it has seemed
20 be uncertain whether we are going to
play this part of leadership in the world,
the old intrigues have started up in the
country again.
"That hyphen which looked to US like
a snake, the hyphen between German
and American. has reared its head
again. You hear the hiss of its purpose,
and what is that purpose? 1t is to keep
America out Of the concert of nations in
order that America and Germany, being
out of that concert, may some time in
their mistaken dream unite to dominate
the world, or at any rate the one to as
sist the other in holding the nations Of
the world off while it's ambitions are
realized.
Not a Conjecture.
There is no conjecture about this,
my fellow citizens. We know the for
ner purposes Of German intrigue in this
country and they are being revived
Why? We haven't reduced very mate
rally the number of German people
Germany remainsr the great power of
central Europe. She has more than Co.
600, goo people now. She had nearly TO-
900, 900 before Poland and other prov
inces were taken away. You cannot
change the temper and expectations Of
a people by five years war, particularly
by five years of war in which they are
not yet conscious OF the wrong they did
or the wrong way in which they did it;
and they are expecting the time Of the
revival Of their power. and, along with
the revival of their power. goes their
extraordinary capacity. their unparalleled

THE German bankers and the Ger
man merchants and the German manu-
facturers did not want this war. They
were making the conquest of the world
without it. They knew that it would
spoil their plans. not advance them.
There can be only one Ineligible
reason for Americas staying out of this,
and that is that she does not want
peace; that she wants war some time

Heart Gives q. S. Place.

eft isn't our Intellectual capacity, my
fellow citizens. that has given us our
place in the world. though rate that as
high as the intellectual capacity OF any
other people that ever lived, but it is
the heart that lies back of the mind that
makes America. (Applause)
Il have no doubt this room Is full OF
mothers and fathers and wives and
sweethearts who sent their loved
Young men to France. What did you
send them there for? What made you
proud that they were going? What
made you willing that they should
20? Did you think they were seeking
to aggrandize America some way?
Did you think they were going to
take something for America that had
belonged to somebody else? Did you
think that they were going into a
quarrel which they had provoked and
must maintain?
1.-THE question answers itself. You
were proud that they should go be-
cause they were going on an errand
of self-sacrifice in the interests OF
mankind. All, when these youngsters
grow old who have come back from
the fields of France what q halo
there will be around their brows.
They saved the world. They are of
the same stuff as those old veterans
Of the civil war. Now, mind you. I
was born and bred in the south. but
I can pay that tribute with all my

Union. It ought to have been saved.
