DRUNK WITH POWDER.

Something happened in the national
house of representatives last Monday,
the significance of which is too impor-
tant to be allowed to go unheeded.
When Richard Bird, representative
elect from Kansas presented himself
before the speaker to be sworn in, Rep
resentative Flood, of Virginia, offered
resolution that the question of his
eligibility to a seat be determined by
committee of the house charged to
Investigate his statement of campaign
expenditures 1t being alleged that over
$4,000 had been expended in his be-
half to insure his election. $4,000 is
the limit allowed by law.
The resolution was voted down by a
strict party vote and the republican
representative from Kansas was sworn
In despite the fact that he had violated
the law Of the land by condoning if not
actually approving an expenditure 100
per cent in excess of the amount
candidate for congress may legitimate
II expend under the federal corrupt
practice act (37 Stat L. 360).
it was perfectly obvious that Mr..
Bird had not only constructive knowl-
edge but actual knowledge of the de-
tailed expenditures made in behalf of
his election and duly sworn to by his
campaign manager.
Surely the only conclusion which in
logic and common sense can be drawn
from this very significant incident, oc-
curing as it did on the first day of
the new administration, is that. flush
ed with victory at the polls, drunk with
power, the majority party in congress
has decided to ride rough shod over
the minority regardless of the merits
of the issues involved and apparently
careless of the consequences either to
the country or to themselves.
The down fall of the nation that in
vaded Belgium against the plain terms
OF International law and morality
should not be without its warning to
the republicans. Their leaders would
do well to consult DR.. Bethman-Holl-
veg or the Qisillusioned exile at Doom
before entering on a congressional ca
reer Of Prussianism under the shibboI-
eth that might makes right" Pride
goeth before destruction and a naughty
spirit before a fall.

TWO RED LANTERNS.

when PRESIDENT harding delivered
his first message, he surprised his
hearers because he waved, figurative-
ly speaking, two red lanterns-and one
for a group who least expected a dan
ger signal from the new president.
The first was the senate; the other
was big business.
During the campaign Harding S
adoption OF the seductive phrase. Less
government in business and more bust
ness in government" was taken to
mean that business was to go as far as
ii liked.
But the presidents message revealed
the hitherto unknown fact that not
only has he been in communication
with federal trade commission, but he
accepts its judgments and quotes it's
opinions.
He says that legitimate business
which those guilty of restraints of
trade or of unnaturally maintaining
prices may hide.
His statement is unusually clear on
this point: ct is we'll to have legiti-
mate business understand that just
government has a right to expect from
1T cooperation in stamping out prac-
tees which add to unrest and inspire
restrictive legislation"
And then comes the flash Of the red
lantern as he SAYS:
Anxious as we are to rest on the
onward flow of business. il is fair to
combine assurance and warning in one
utterances."
Bluntly he says that prices to the
consumer have not come down as far
as they should in view of the fall in
prices OF basic products. For example,
wheat and live stock are down, but
bread and meat are rot. In the ca Sc
or meat, not only the farmers price is
down, but the workers have voluntar-
lily agreed to cut in wage, and vet
the public is not benefited.
Specifically. also the message warns
or the open price associations whose
membership and aims are singularlv
similar to the open shop associations.
With the other red lantern. the presi-
dent gave notice that after two wears
or president batting the senate must
lay off-must return to the White
House the kidnapped treaty-making
power.
From now on, he said. in effect. the
White House would insist on exercis-
ing the constitutional power to nego-
tiate treaties with the advice and con-
sent of the senate" but that the senate
need no longer think to practice its
procedure 81 making peace with or
without the consent of the president"
1t would he, he said, Equally obiec-
t'onable If congress or the senate
should assume the function of the ex-
ecutive"
The president has taken an unex-
pected stand both as to the senate and
as TO business. Roosevelt and Wilson
before him took exactly the same
ground. Both of them led exceedingly
busy lives trying to hold that ground.
Harding has cast himself for siren
nous role with his red lanterns in his
two hands.

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
RY ADELE GARRISON.
BY ADELE G.

I reluctantly admit that my knees
were shaking me as I stood hidden be-
hind a curtain in the hall of the old
Cosgrove farmhouse at 1 o'clock in the
morning, and heard the door opened
by Mrs. Allis to admit the man who
was to aid her in stealing the valu-
able collection of pictures in the par
Tor.
I was afraid that she might make
some search for hidden watchers be-
fore beginning her nefarious work, and
the thought made me tremble with
terror.
But evidently Mrs. Cosgrove had
been doing some clever work in the
afternoon, for the first audible words
from Mrs. Allis' lips showed that she
imagined that the coast was entirely
clear.
Have you the things?" she de-
manded in low tone, the flashlight,
the waterproof wrappings for the can
vass. and the knives?"
"AIl set" the man returned 1aconi-
caly. "Are you sure everything is safe
here?"
Absolutely" Mrs AlIis replied.
where's that artists wife you
thought was spying on you?" the man
persisted.
'I told you everything was safe" she
his wife are shivering in the jail I
reported them for violating~the game
laws, and they were arrested and taken
away this afternoon.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The evangelistic services at the
Christian church are progressing
splendidly with Rev. Shaw preach
ing powerful and especially instruc-
tive sermons tc large audiences.
1t was an inspiration to see the
house filled to capacity with peo-
pie standing in the vestibule on
Tuesday evening, to hear the SER
mon entitled, What is Commu-
nifty Church?' 1t was a sermon
we'll worth hearing from every one
IN Extra who is Interested in the
unifying of the forces of the
church. We were glad to see so
many out to hear it. We are also
glad to see the splendid crowds
from nighr to night. 1t is a con-
firmation of the reports which
come from all over the country
that people are becoming intensely
interested in the message of the
Man of Galilee," looking to it to
bring peace into the present dis
turbed world. Hear ye all things
and cleave to that which is good" :"
ff>
Come now and let us reason to-
gether.' That s3the gospel is the
power of God" is attested by the
fact that people are listening to it
and obeying it during these days
of unrest as never before in
years. Whether you are a mem
Der of the Christian church or some
other church you can not afford to
miss these meetings. The truth
never hurt anybody and sstruth
crushed to earth will rise again"
no matter how badly it is crushed
Or how long it has been crushed.
Marrow mindedness is the enemy
of an enlightened civilization. So
whether you are member of any
church or no church, be broad
minded snough to give the gospel
a hearing. Ignorance is not ex-
cusable in the sight Of The law and
neither is it in the sight of God
when the opportunity to be in
formed is brought to your door.
TO him who knoweth to do good
and doeth it not to him it is sim"
We invite you to avail yourself Of
the opportunity to do good.
There will be reading given by
Mrs. L. M. Moors, of Atlantic,
on Friday evening, and a trio by
members Of the Atlantic choir.
Mr.. shaw's sermon topics for Sat-
urday and Sunday evenings are as
follows: Smoked Screens" on
Saturday evening and "seven Won
ders Of the World" on Sunday
evening. The meetings will con-
tinue all next week. Other SER
mon topics will be announced from
night to night.

DANISH LUTHERAN NOTES
EXTRA and HAMLIN

EXTRA and HAMLIN
Our mission meeting closed Sun
day evening after almost a weeks
duration. Sorry we could not con-
tlnue another week. However, we
are very thankful to our Lord for
His abundant grace toward us for
the time being. There is no Joy
on earth anywhere which compares
to the Joy of listening to Gods
message of salvation for sinners.
But this JOY, like any other JOY,
must be experienced before it can
be appreciated. Our we'll filled
churches evidenced an apprecia-
ton of this Joy among our people.
Sunday was our banner day. We
enjoyed as speakers the two fore
most men of the Danish church in
America, namely, Rev. G. B.
Christensen, for twenty-five years
president of our synod, and Rev.
IS. Wig, D. D., the venerable
theological instructor of nearly all
our ministers, being president of
Trinity Seminary, Blair, Nebras-
ka. But their message was the
same old plain gospel Of Jesus
Christ, which, when told by such
learned and experienced men as
these, has the more weight with
us. We have lot of fools in the
world but the biggest of all are
surely those who think that they
can live and die happy without
believing the word Of God.
From Friday till Sunday noon,
Rev Jensen will partake in a
Young Peoples meeting at Scran-
ton, Iowa. Therefore the confirm
alton classes will not meet this
Saturday, but week hence, Extra
class at 10 a. m. and Hamlin at
4 p. M. Next Sunday no morning
service at Extra, but Danish even
ing service at s o'clock. At Ham
lin, Danish service at 3 p. M.
Y. P. meetings at Hamlin Thurs.
day, the 29th, at 8 p. NJ, and at
Extra Wednesday, the 9Th, at
7::3O p. m.
The Extra Ladies Aid society
meets with Mrs. Martin Jensen
Thursday afternoon, the 9th, at
2:30 o'clock. That evening at
7:30 our mission meeting at Ham
lin starts with Rev. TIL. Jersild, OF
Atlantic, as speaker. Other
meeting hours are 2 p. NJ. and 7:3O
p. m. Friday, the 9TH, and 2 p. m.
