We are living in day when the
church is discounted even by its mem

church and gave his life for i'll
mean the New Testament Model. The
Master said: "The gates Of hell shall!
not prevail against it."
The sacredness of the church is dis
counted. Christians are today putting
other institutions in the place of the
church of Jesus Christ Indeed they
say, the church has failed and they
would substitute for it institutions
that make no claim to Christianity
But listen. it is in a sacrilege wher
church members refuse TO do their

"In the same night came forth the
fingers of a mans hand and wrote:

These words sounded the fate of a
nation and the doom of Babylon was
sealed. If you will look into the record
YOU will discover that it was the sac

her fate for he desecrated the sacred

great country rests with people and
if public sentiment allows a sacrIlege
then the doom of our nation IS al
ready sounded. l want you to study
with me this evening some facts OF
our modern life.
1.-The sacrilege Of the home.
We are to remember that the home IS
at the very base of our modern clvlll-

CITY MANAGEMENT

We print elsewhere today
a QUESTIONABLE, with answ-
ers, on the change proposed
in our form Of city govern
ment. This questionnalre
has been carefully prepared
by Judge James R. Cation !;
who may be justly termed
the foremost advocate OF
city managership in AleXan-
dria.
We trust the women vot-
ers of the city will read the
article carefully, as it has
been prepared with unusual
pains and is complete IN
every detail.
The modern plan, social
ed, divorces municipal ad-
ministration from politics.
The merits of the politician
are the dement's of the busl-
ness man. Political virtues
are business vices. A poll
tical boss comes to believe
that he has a sort Of divine
right to Office, and that It IS
"lese majestic" for any one
to question his royal prero-
gative.
City managership thus far
has been the downfall OF the
political boss, and that is
why he and his gang always
oppose it
With a council of five
elected at large, and a COM
petent city manager, Alex
and-ia will become worthy
of her splendid destiny. She
is bound to become a great
city, but she must be unhan1-
pered in her efforts. There
should be only one object IN
view, that of making the
most Of her natural endoW-
ment, which may be fairly
said to be unrivalled.
On Tuesday of next week
the election will be held to
determine the choice Of the
people. We believe the vote
will be overwhelmingly IN
favor of the city manager
ship form. And we further
believe the vote of the Wo-
men of this city will give the
measure its great prepon-
derance.

philosophical, but certainly is not
christian. Any system that talks about
faith and does not recognize Christ as
the object of faith, is a delusion.

In conclusion let US beware Of dis
counting the Sacred things of life,
and reducing everything to secular
basis. Let US help mould public opin
ion here.

Alexander Hamilton, the reactonary
of our revolution, is being given to
school children as the hero Of that great
event, and Thomas jefferson, the fun

And the public face of privilege
scares us badly and makes us ashamed
and forgetful of our own about as much
as it sacres the English commoners.

Cram Marketing Notes.

We always like to see the bird in the
hand when it is matter Of promises
to the farmers by machine politicians,
but it looks as if the bird were practic-
ally in hand as regards loans on CO.
operative grain through the Equity
Co.Operati Exchange from the War
Finance Corporation.
We hear that all details have been
arranged for an immediate loan of
$10,000,000 and the promise of as
much more as business develops. The
Equity Exchange terminal elevators
are handling from 100000 to 100000
bushels day now, and the govern
ment loan will enable them to advance
farmers about so per cent while hold
ing the grain for a less glutted market.
1t will probably allow a much larger
business because Of funds to give the
farmers some ready cash has always
been the chief limiting factor in CO.
operative grain handling.
1t should also be sale chat practically
all Of the U. S. Grain Growers grain
handled comes from North Dakota
and further west, where the Farm
Bureau Federation leaders have worked
to get something done in 1921, rather
than followed the obstructionist tactics
of the politicians who run the Fedora
ton in Minnesota. Potter and others
like him have done their work we'll.
Three most valuable months for
getting ready for the 1921 harvest
were lost because Of the Potter tactics,
and his crew Of knockers make the
work harder than it would naturally
be. The Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce is probably as we'll pleased
with this piece Of work as it is with the
bill against gambling in futures and the
work Of the State Securities Commits
sion in denying the Grain Growers
finance corporation the right to sell
it's securities.
Incidentally we might report that
Potter has been hunting hard for cover
ever since he made the big breaks re-
ported two weeks ago. He played too
open hand, and if there is one thing
brother politicians will not forgive,
that thing is opening the game so that
the public can see.
A federation housekeeping is inc
vitable. We hope that the farmers
will do the cleaning rather than be
fooled by q change CT political talent
and a little embarrassing.

OLD WISEACRES PREDICT
LONG AND COLD WINTER
Their Representations are Based
On Ancient Weather Signs
Observed by Them.

Many predictions as to the length Of
the coming winter and the severity OF
it are going the rounds. now that fall
is here. Birds are gathering for their
flight south almost a month earlier than
usual, the veteran observers declare,
while squirrels are collecting their food
supply with a vigor that indicates
their instinct warns them the warm
season will soon be at an end.
The oldtimers have their own versions
on which the predictions of long,
cold winter are. based. Said one:
when the breast bone Of chicken is
dark in the summer time, that means
that the winter will be long and cold.
I have killed and eaten number OF
spring chickens Of late. All of them
have had dark breast-bones. That
means we have a hard winter. Last
summer the breast bones were light. :
An early frost is predicted by this
sane person, who said that when the
crickets appear in. July as they did
this year, he was satisfied the frost
would cone earlier than usual.
Other old signs that are generally
taken as assurance of a long winter
are thick corn husks and heavy fur
on the amin: ais, which is unusually pro-
nounced this fall. Reports from the
north say that frosts have occurred
and the green Of the woods is fast fading.
Muskrats are building exceptionally
large houses in the marshes and par
tridges are showing up in great num-
bers, all indications oldtimers say, Of a
long winter.

Sewer discrepancies, about Sic, 1000:
paving discrepancies, 81, 200, and over
payment Of interest on paving bonds,

Choosing Heroes.

An American commonly wonders
why an advanced European country,
like England, still has king, especially
when, as every Englishman will as
sure US, this king has no real power.
How foolish the typical American ex-
claims to have the great expense Of
maintaining this ornament when he
could so easily and proftably be dis
charged! We good Americans would
not think CT having SO foolish a person
age around. How often do our papers
OF all kinds poke fun at royalty!
But, let us look at this king business
a little more carefully for. minute.
In public the king is the greatest man
IN the country, owns everything and
everything is done in his name. Services
for the nation is service to the king.
He sponsors all laws and all crimes are
against him. All comm oners must do
him reverence, second only to God.
The national anthem is "God Save the
King and all ministers include him
in their public prayers.
Now, let US add that this king serves
as the public front for the powerful
privileged classes who exploit the COM
mon people, and we give the key to
the king business. The king is there,
because any opposition to them is
made to appear as rudeness or attack
on the king himself. And the king is
raised to super-hunan proportions so
that such an attack will appear as I'M
holy, unpatriotic, and criminal. So
much are people kept in awe Of the
Office that great proportion of them
never dare to move for their own in
terest. Loyalty to the public face
OF privilege is regarded as virtue
But, let us not think that we are
free from such deception in America.
Here we have our heroes chosen for
US dead and living, They are al
what one might call national heroes,
and used TO get farmers and workers
to lose sight Of their identity and in
terest in that thing we call the nation.
Those great men who nave worked,
suffered, and died that farmers might
have better deal, that labor might
