The Press and the Pulpit

The press and the pulpit are two
great forces that might and often
do cooperate for good. They are diff
ferent institutions, but their differ
ences ought not to make either intol-
Grant Of the other. On the other hand
the ideas and ideals that they have in
common should make them friendly
fellow-workers in the cause of human
ity. This relationship really does for
the most part exist, but there are oc-
casional utterances from the pulpit,
just as, doubtless, there are express
sions in the newspapers, that mar the
effect.
The newspaper is nearer to the peo-
pie than is the pulpit, and it speaks to
vastly greater number of them. 1t
ought not to be condemned because it
gives the news of the business, social,
and political world, for that is its
prime function. 1t ought not to be
condemned because it carries advertis-
ing, for that is the thing which makes
it possible for the reader to get his
paper so cheaply. 1t ought not to be
expected to proclaim in big type cn
every page the great truth that the
! pulpit is is trying to deliver. If it did.
it would vacate its function and be-
come pulpit. 1t ought to be accept
ed by the pulpit for what it is-a nee
essary human agency which in the
main feels it's possibilities and US
es its great power with discretion. Not
all newspapers are living up to their
opportunities of high human service,
but it may be suspected that the same
might be said of factories, stores,
railroads, schools and governments.
The important thing is to find in each
of these activities the forces of prog
ress and Improvement; and they are
certainly there in every one, the news
paper included.
The newspaper and pulpit are not
and should not be the same. If they
were, the newspaper would be robbed
of much of it's power to convince peo-
pie that truth is better than lie, that
charity is better than greed and that
righteousness is better than injustice.
Nobody but those who already believ-
ed in these things would read them. A
heavy freight train pulled by loco
motive may be halted on a grade, but
it will continue to move upward when
a locomotive comes to push from be-
hind. 1t is suggested that if the pulpit
will accept the press as the second
locomotive and if the two will cooper
ate with a good understanding of each
other, there will be real PIT gress.-Ex.

Front Page Requests.

This is little message to the
friend who asked us to "please put
this on the front page"
Sometimes this friend is a man,
some times woman, and even the
young people are getting the habit
It's always a good indication when
such request is made. 1t means that
the writer is interested in his or her
subject. It shows appreciation Of pos
ition in a newspaper and modest desire
to accept the best.
Sometimes, however, it might be adj
ded, the choice is unwise. There are
news features which are expected on
the front page and there are others,
particularly in the Advertiser, that are
not expected on that page, but have
their own position on other pages.
Some of these friends who make
these requests are some of our towns
very good housekeepers. They would
"have a fit" if some one left the dish
pan in the living room They would
have another if they did not find the
dishpan in the kitchen, where it be-
longs.
We in the print shops are little bit
the same way. We have page for
display news, another for locals, per-
sonals and church notes, another for
news of surrounding communities, an
other for editorial matters, and others
for general matter.
Yes, indeed, now that we all come to

.NiCollet County
to Send Corn
FARMERS WILL CONTRIBUTE
CARLOAD OF CORN TO
STARVING CHINESE.

Some time next probably
one week from today-Nicollet coun-
| ty farmers will ship to China car
load Of their best Nicollet county corn
to help relieve starvation in the Chi
nese famine area. This announcement
was made yesterday by County Agent
o. O. Horamus.
And when the shipment goes for
ward Nicollet county will have gain
ed the distinction of being the first
county in Minnesota to follow out the
suggestion, recently made by Cover
nor J. A. O. Preus, that each of the
sc Minnesota counties donate car of
corn to the suffering Chinese.
Mr.. Horlamus began work on the
plan early Tuesday and hopes to have
all arrangements completed this week,
so that the shipment can be loaded
early next week, and sent forward by
Wednesday, if possible. Every Nicol-
let county farmer who wishes to do
nate can secure any information he
desires by calling Mr.. Horlamus, who
is devoting his entire time to the prop
osition, in an effort to clean it up and
get the corn on it's way at the earli-
est possible date.
donations of any size, from one or
two bushels up, will be gladly &C
.cepted," said Mr.. Horlamus. 'The
loading Of the car is not by any
means confined to members Of the
Farm Bureau. All farmers are urged
to donate and help fill it up quick,
whether they are bureau members or
not"
The car will be shipped to San
Francisco, where it will be loaded on
the first available ship to China. The
railroad companies will furnish trans
portation to the coast free, and the
steamship companies will trar~~
across the Pacific without charge. On
its way to the coast the shipment will
be given priority in schedule as much
as possible.
Nicollet county farmers may well
feel proud of the fact that they are
going to be the first in the state to
respond to the call Of the suffering
people in the Far East.-St. Peter

Lincoln's birthday passed with very
little mention of Lincoln's son, Robert
T. Lincoln, who is spending the clos
ing years Of long and a busy life
in Washington. The public knows in
a general way that he is man of
exceptional gifts for he made more
than an ordinary success in business,
was a good secretary of war in the
Garfield cabinet and filled the post of
minister to the court of St. James
with dignity and credit.
But even in the days when he was
active in the public service he was
conspicuous for his retiring habits. II
was a common remark when he was
in the cabinet that Lincoln must be
a good secretary Of war because no.
body ever heard anything about him
or his department.
After his return from England he
seemed to sink out of sight so far as
the country was concerned. He be-
came head Of one of the largest cor
porations in the country without get

ting into the papers often enough to
keep the country reminded that Abra-
ham Lincoln had son, and to this
day he has preserved the same pri-
vacy. The other day a reporter got
near enough to him to try for an IN
terview. The substance of the in
terview was that Mr.. Lincoln desired
to spend his remaining days in peace
and did not believe that he had any
thing to say which the people wou!o
care to hear.
Mr.. Lincoln has never taken the
public into his confidence on the SUB
ject but it is not an unlikely guess
that his self-effacement springs from
feeling that the name of Lincoln
came to him in trust to be preserved
as his immortal father left it with
out or addition by any other man.

Conversion of ''DOc''
MCGEE.

When first she came, some time ago,
Of course folks didn't really know
Just what and how SIGH nurses do,
Exceptin' maybe just few.
For instance, Deacon Era Frost
| Allowed twas so much money lost.
| lizard cash fer jist passin' fad,
| A wicked waste-too bad, too bad.
Miss Cable said as how she knew
| An interestin' thing or two.
II don't speak names, but jest you
mind,
Somebody's got an ak to grind"
| Josiah Hinkson sort O. laughed
An guessed it was doctors graft,
The way them nurses go about
! Proclaiming: "Git your tonsils out.
One day asked old Doc MCGEE
To let us in on his idee,
And, sakes alive, but he was sore,
He cussed a streak and walked the
floor.
what I advise will be ignored;
She'll drive about in that new Ford,
Directin' what to drink and eat,
She'll boost on milk and knock on
meat
She'll weigh the kids and scan their
tongues,
Most likely listen to- their lungs;
She'll plant lot of FOOLS idees
About consumption, Bright's disease
Arthritis, ricketts,, mumps, and flu,
And no doubt tell 'em what to do"
At last old Doc, he seq, seq he.
"By heck, she can't dictate to ME-"
One day when passin' old Docs door,
noticed there at least score
Of people waitin' for their turn.
1t made me curious to learn
What caused the run on MICS and
squills
And other cures for human ills.
Just then 10 Hinkson's wife and four
OF JOS five kids came through the
door,
Sleeves rolled up and left arm bare
And SO were others waitin' there.
It sure was old Docs busy day,
Some sixty odd or more they say.
Next day met Doc on the street,
SEE he, "1've got some crow to eat"
He told me then about the case
Of smallpox down at Jones' place.
The nurse had found the kid in school
by heck, says Doc, "she sure was
cool.
By exercise of common sense,
She saved this town big expense,
A smallpox epidemic, too
By KNOWN what and how to do"
She took him home-just round the
block,
And told the folks to send for Doc.
"She didn't tell 'em what it wuz,
| (They say good nurse seldom does.)"
"You see," said Doc, "our schools
amt closed
| We vaccinated all exposed.
It's better, don't you see, by far
To know right where them young
sters are
Two years ago no decent home
| Would be without a fine tooth comb
| A box of ointment fer the itch,
And earache drops, Glove oil and SIGH
But since she got 'em doin chores,
And brushing teeth and keepin' scores
They don't have lice nor seven year
itch,
And school goes on without a hitch.
That Elkins boy they called fool,
Who used to run away from school;
Since fixin' up his throat and eyes
They say that boy is surprise.
She's been with us a year or more
And if you want to hear a roar,
Just criticise the Red Cross Board.
For paying upkeep of her Ford;
Or say, as once did Deacon Frost, +
