Is A Crucif1ion Still PossibZe2

Every one who has given any
thought to the Gospel story has at
some time or other had the feeling we
used to have toward the ancient
Jews. We used to wonder how a
people could be so lost to fair play as
to demand the death of an innocent
man (even if they did not believe
him to be the Son of God, (by un-
speakable torture. During the mid
die ages, and in some places today,
the Jew is called the Christ-killer.
Few people in America, however
have any of this feeling against the
pcesent-day Jew and the writer has
long since lost his impression that the
Jews of Jerusalem in Christ's time,
including those who howled for
Barra bas free and Christ crucifed,
were any worse than the general run
of people everywhere, We might
grant that they were little inferior
in humanity, because they used cru
cifxion for theft and disloyalty, as
we'll as murder, whereas we use the
electric chair and Imprisonment.
The Jewish crowd, which forced
the Roman chief over 1000 years ago
to kill the person in whom he found
no fault, was made up of people Of
good intentions, who let others do
their thinking for them, of people
who act on catch-phrases thrown out
by some organized source. In their
case, a semi-governmental, priestly
organization scattered the ''news'
that greater traitor had been found,
and if there is one thing that turns
the head of those who yield to mob
thinking it is patriotism. There,
patriotism and religion were combined
to make the passions stronger.
Any ruling group of today, threat
ened by reform as the Old Jewish
Sanhedrin was, can produce similar
effect on people otherwise good, who
Will not think for themselves. All
the great martyrdom of the world,
past and present, of crusaders for
righteousness, is the result of good
people led by catch-phrases. And
right now, A. c. Townley goes to jail
because he dared to rally the farmers
for their own welfare and there is a
great group Of mob-actors at his
heels, assuming without question
that, in some way, he was disloyal.
Didn't the politicians and newspa-
pers say so?
Perhaps we can put the issue more
plainly this way. Suppose Christ
were to come to earth again, as a
farmer, bricklayer, or a factory
worker. He would find many things
in the world, like war, robbery of the
poor, hypocritical churchmen to de-
nounce, and would not those denounced
declare him unpatriotic and irreli-
gious, and would not the great mass
of otherwise good people, who do not
think, but follow phrases, tolerate if
not help his conviction? Are you
one of those in mood to cruelty
Christ again?

ing the Farm Bureau Federation in
that state, are we not entitled to a
little doubt as to what the Federation
will do to farmers with cooperative
livestock marketing? The packing
trust man would probably be glad to
aid cooperation with the packers, but
we have had that for 20 years. Does
this give clue also as to why the
federation started a rival to the
Equity Cooperative Exchange on the
South St. Paul market when there is
so much else it might be doing?

A Historical Photoplay.
Our big feature for tonight (Wednes-

special, Lahoma, which was pro-

nifcance. It is a story Of the early
days of 1880, when the country now
known as Oklahoma was ''No Mans
Land" It was set aside as Indian
country and white settlers were for
hidden to locate on it. The picturiza-
ton, taken from John Breckenridge

charming romance woven through It.

"A Vivacious Star.
Miss Calhoun has a serious role in
"The Charming Deceiver," our big
photoplay for Sunday afternoon and
evening. It is a tense. story by Mrs.
Owen Bronson. The young Vitagraph
star is closely associated with comedy
drama, in which her beauty, youth and
vivaciousness are in prefect accord,
but in The Charming Deceiver" she
shows that she also excels in emotional
roles. While dramatic in it's action,
there is nothing Of the morbid about
this play, and it is clean as the pro-
verbal whistle.

Do you realize that those controlling
the grain market have no interest in
maintaining prices at fair level?
Their sole aim is to maneuver the
market or to know in advance how it
is being maneuvered. And every
neutrality-suspicious. will swear that it
is the proper. way for farmers to, dis
pose of their products.

Ealmost unbelievable" that ex-service

What has the Broun County Journal
done to relieve the plight of any one
of the service men? Talk is cheap,
and the war promoters knew it when
they started things.

NEW SYSTEM FOR
 PAYING STATE OFFICIALS

There is no longer a crowd of state officials with vouchers for their months salary seen in the comptroller's office in the capitol, Hartford, on the first business day in each month. Thursday was the first calendar day of Septem- Der and also the first business day, but al no time in the comptroller's office were there any more present than usual. The reason for the change is the new system of paying officials, which makes their presence unneces- sary. Instead of calling at the comp troller's office for orders on the treas urer for the amount of their months pay they receive the orders through the mail. The fact of the order states it is in payment of a months salary. By this arrangement the official is not re- quired to send a receipt f,t the order. as. when i-dorsed by the payee. it serves the dual purpose of an order for money and receipt for the same The change in the system of giving orders in the comptroller's office was intro duced by Deputy Comptroller F. H. Will ilins and it makes the work of paying salaries easier to the clerks in the office and more convenient to the recipients of the orders.
