CHURCHES ARE FAILING
FOR LACK OF SUPPORT
Preachers Quit Pulpit Because
of Poverty, Says DR.. Hills.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD,
CHIcAGo, Nov. THAT the church is
a failure. and thousands of preachers
are leaving the ministry because they
cannot pay their bills. was asserted by
Dr. Newell Dwight Hills OF Brooklyn In
an address before the Congregational
Minister'S Union here to-day.
THE church itself has not broken
down." said DR.. Hills, "but the people
are not using the church and supporting
II as they should. The churches are run
by men who are not equal to the task
and who refuse to support the minis
ters."
DR.. Hills referred IN his address to n
letter from Emma Goldman, which had
been intercepted by the Government and
which was shown to him by friend
In the secret service. The letter says
10000 arc dying in Russia every month
and that the streets of Petrograd are
choked with human bodies.
Russia is like chicken with its
head cut off" said DR.. Hills. Under
Lenine, Russia has abolished the au-
tocracy of Car and set up an autoc-
racy OF labor Under this system Shake
speare would have ploughed corn and
Tcnnyson would have dug bitches in
stead of writing poetry"

1T WAS VOTERS MONEY.
Instances OF Democratic Waste and
Extravagance.

To THE NEW YORK HERALDi In war
time the Democrats asked us to sub
scribe to Liberty Loan bonds. The whole
country responded. Then the Democrats
took this money and threw It away In
riot of mismanagement A few In
stances are given below. How many
hundreds more are there?
On October IL in Trenton Senator
Fernald of Maine said that after the
armistice was signed this Government
sent more than $4,000 automobiles to
France. These were later sold I'm Eu-
rope for about 20 per cent Of cost.
After the signing of the armistice
there was in Europe over $4,000, 100000
of food and supplies belonging to the
United States. This was food which
Americans had denied themselves In
order to help the Allies. After the ar
mistice food was scarce and high in
this country. Instead of bringing some
OF this surplus back home these sup
plies were sold in Europe for a song,
although many vessels were coming to
this country in ballast because Of lack
of cargo.
After the armistice, when sugar was
almost unobtainable here. our Admin
ist-ation sold a vast quantity in France
at two cents a pound from our surplus
supplies there.
During the war our army had about
1890 animals of all kinds in Europe.
For the use of these animals the War
Department ordered over 100000 hal
ters. Also over 100000 saddles were
o1oS NJ
leather at high prices, was 1t surpris-
ing that the cost of shoes went up by
leaps and bounds and every one OF us
had to pay for this waste of an incon-
petent Government?
Herbert Hoover wanted President VIII
son to buy the Cuban sugar crop and
prevent a rise in sugar, which he thought
might run as high as 80 cents. The
President of Cuba also requested Pres
ident Wilson to take this step Presi-
dent Wilson refused to take action. Was
this because he wished to favor the
sugar planters of Louisiana at the en-
pense of the balance of the country?
Senator Frelinghuysen is quoted as
saying in his address at haddonfield
that after the arnistice Assistant Secre-
tary of War Crowell appeared before
the Military Affairs Committee with a
proposition to build an artillery canton
ment at Americas. Ga. The proposition
was voted down to 6. In the face of
this Secretary Baker went ahead and
built the cantonment at a cost of s10,-'
100000 as a political favor Ex-senator
Hoke Smith.
Each individual voter should remem-
Der that this was his money which he
had saved which the Democrats threw
away. Does any one wish to vote to
keep such incompetents in power an
other four years?

NOBELPRIZE WINNER
ONCE A CONDUCTOR
Knut Hamsun Was Failure on
Chicago Horse Car Line 40
Years Ago.
OLD TIMERS RECALL HIM
Tell How He Lost His Job Be-
cause He Forgot Names
of Streets

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Knut Hamsun. a
former Chicago street car conductor.
who has won the Nobel literature prize
for 1920, was a failure at garnering
fares on a Halsted street horse car. To-
day the critics acclaim him the greatest
fiction writer of Scandinavia.
Old timers in Chicago remember
Hamsun as a thin blond lad With hungry
cheeks and a perpetual stare into the
ORION. To-day his works have been
translated into twentythree languages.
His published volumes cover $4,000, 900
pages.

Knut Hamsun," said DR.. Anders Doe,
for many years prominent in Den
Norske Club, to-day. HE was such an
cut-at-the-elbows lad he was very poor
No. he had no money. That was in the
carly SOS. when lie came to Chicago
after working as ploughboy on the viz
gin North Dakota pra1ries.
He got job as conductor on the old
Halsted street line. The horses pulled
The cars then. And, my, 1t wa cold on
the back platform. 7 still remember

coat sleeves forgot to meet his mittens.
and he carried books in his pockets.
Always books, EJripides, Aristotle,
Thackeray. Such dreamer The pas
sengers used to get mad. He would
forget to pull the rope. They missed
their corners"
And so disaster befell Conductor knut
Hamsun. The Halsted street horse car
was not for him. He couldn't remember
the streets. On the pilgrimages down
the line he used to call out North ave-
nue." FOR Division street" Sometimes
ne stopped the car suddenly in the mid
die or the block to disembark an elderly
acquaintance crippled with rheumatism.
One day an old lady asked Hamsun IL
the car was southbound. Hamsun
scratched his scraggled blond hair. He
ran forward, trampling over the passen-
gers feet
Are we going south?" he asked the
driver.
1--WE are going to HE'LL growled the
driver
And so the superintendent at the car
barn gave Knut Hamsun the sack. He
said the Norwegian wa stoo stupid ever
to cruise as skipper of n Halsted street
car Hamsun went to New York. He
got a berth on a Newfoundland fishing
smack. Later he worked his way to
Norway as a seaman.
Always he scrubbed on paper in his
west side room, Chicago friends said to-
day. And then in Norway, in 1898, his
pan" poems came out. fifteen volumes
of epic power Now at 60 he lives Oh an
estate in Norway.

The Presidents Relation to the
Election OF To-day.

ALMOST overlooked IN the crowded
last hours of the campaign is Cover
nor Cox's statement at Chicago that
he is certain that President Wilson
would be perfectly willing to close
his participation in all public affairs.
either officially or privately" in case
the result of the election to-day is 81
insure the ratification Of the Wilson
Covenant.
II cannot understand" adds Cover
nor Cox, "why deliberate policy Of
malignant hate can be maintained
against the President of the United
States"
Writing somewhat in the same
sense Mr.. DAVID LAWRENCE specu-
lates about the possible effect upon
President WILSON of an adverse ver-
dict at the polls. This close and
friendly but generally unprecedented
observer of Mr.. WILSON'S career says
that If he believed that by eliminat-
ing his own personality as q factor
Vice-President MARSHALL might be
able to negotiate a settlement of the
treaty question with the Republican
Senate he would probably retire.
Mr.. LAwRENcE's information, we
are glad to learn, is that the President
has been steadily improving in health
and Is much better than he was six
months ago.
The outstanding facts about Presi-
dent WILSON'S relation to the voting
that has perhaps begun throughout the
length and breadth of the land before
these words are read are four:
1. There exists no malignant hate
of President WILSON. There is no
deliberate policy of malignant hate
against him." as alleged by Governor
Cox. There never has been such
hatred, or such a policy of hatred.
The stubbornness of Mr.. WILSON'S
character, the infinite significance and
menace of the cause he has made Pc
culiarly and personally his own, the
methods he has adopted to secure his
own way at the cost Of the nation and
Its traditions and principles of gov
eminent, have naturally provoked re-
sentiment and stiffened opposition
among those who have been unwilling
to subordinate themselves to his will
and purposes. Nevertheless, this oppo-
sition, at it's strongest, cannot be de-
scribed as malignant hate. Proper re-
spect for the office and patient toler-
ance Of the idiosyncrasies Of the indi.
vidual holding 1t have been invariable
throughout the days and months
and years of strenuous resistance.
If hate Is manifested and measured
by epithets of anger and contempt
the record clearly shows a largely
preponderatlng balance Of malignant
output on the side Of the President
as against his opponents

Each and every one of these can

every Republican, Democrat and indie
pendent voter living in his district.
In fusion campaigns there is always
danger of overconfidence. A voter
says to himself that everybody else is
going to vote for the fusion candidate
and it will make practically no differ
ence if he does not take the trouble
to mark his ballot for this Office. A
handful of voters acting on this err
roneous belief in each election dis
trict would mean the defeat of all
these candidates. The only safe and
sure thing to do at the polls to-day
Is to put Il cross x mark in every
voting space guarded by the Ameri-

BY doing this the voter will mark
his ballot for all the fusion candidates
and all the straight party candidates.
