PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH :
is BEING MOVED

The Presbyterian church Of this city
which was built in the early days,
1884 Or Whereabouts is being moved
this week by contractor P. J. Nyland
to a lot a block or two further east
and will be- converted intoa duplex
by julius J. Olson, who bought the
building, some time ago. Services have
not been held at the church for many
years, most members Of the congre-
cation having united with the M. p.
church of this city. The lot on which
the church stood was acquired by the
school district some time ago. With
this addition the High School grounds
will contain. one solid block and the
appearance of the school property will
also be much improved. The passing
of the Presbyterian church from the
corner it has occupied so long, recalls
many memories, both sad and glad,
but such changes prove the mutability
Of everything human and often must
come in the line of progress =

H. 0. BERVE IS
NOT A CANDIDATE
Endorsed for State Senator by the
Nonpartisans But Declines to =
- ~ Make the Race - -

Hon. H. o. Berve, Of Germantown,
who was endorsed for State Senator
by the recent Nonpartisan county con:
vention, states in a letter to the Sheaf
that he is unable for certain reasons
to accept the profered honor. MI.
Berve would no doubt have been a
formidable candidate, had he decided
to stay in the race and make cam
paign. The letter is as follows:
editor Sheaf,
Warren, Mimi.
Dear Sir May I be permitted to
say word to the Nonpartisans, and
to. my friends generally throughout
this legislative district through the
columns of your paper. Having been
honored with the endorsement for
State Senator for this district by the
convention, and being forced to de-
cline the candidacy it is perhaps prop
er that make some explanation.
In the first place I wish to thank
the convention for the endorsement,
and assure them of my appreciation
Of the same. I should have liked
very much to be able to comply with
the request of the convention and be-
come candidate. However, circum-
stances beyond my control make it i'm
possible for me to become a candidate
this year. My work on the farm will
take up all my time, and it would
be impossible for me to find time for
any campaign. In the second place
it would be very difficult for me to
get away for the. Legislative sessions
even should I be elected. Not being
in position to either put up suit
able campaign, nor to take care. Of the
Office, if elected, the only course for
me is to decline the candidacy, and
stay out of the race. - ..~e-s.~
Someone else will of course be Sc
lected as candidate for the Office. !
shall do everything in my power to
further his candidacy, as we'll as the
candidacy Of our other candidates. ]
hope you will all give them your vote
as well as your active support. Let
us show them that we still 'stick.'
Thanking you for the endorsement
and assuring you all of my apprecia-
ton Of the same, am,
Yours very truly,

unprepared to take advantage of the oppor- tunity, Senator Harding said
 'sBut with need magnified the party m power seeks to make amends, not by any nor nal process, not by logical methods, not by tue consistent encourag cement of private industry, which has made us what we are, but the mir acle method of government ownership IS in vokcd, which can accomplish nothing during the abnormal conditions of war and is sure to rend our coastwise and Great Lakes achieve ment in the interference that will come with peace.
 "The plan not only adds to the paternalistic socialism which is the menacing development of the present Congress and it's directing head President Wilson) but it is the most in~ defensble business proposition ever made by a party with an avowed hostility to business success It is too late to seek shipping facilities to meet war conditions. The making of . merchant marine is an undertaking for the next decade and the next generation of Amer cans. It is slow and cumulative undertaking. No sane business man would enter proh1bl- tive market to even start to buy for future generation. That may be the Democratic idea the administration conception of business sapacitv-but it will not win the plaudits ot tue American people. A party that makes a profession of assaihng high prices ought not multiply wartime rewards. I want to sub scribe to an upbuilding process, not a bull market overbuled with coin from the Federal Treasury"
 Senator Harding's prediction of the disas- trous outcome has been fulfilled. The gov ernment spent not merely the $5O,OOO,oOO originally proposed but $4,00O,OOOO0o, and at the end had merchant marine which could not successfully operate in competition with other great maritime nations. For interest alone on the Democratic expenditures for mer, chant ships, the nation is paying $17O,OOO,oo0 annual]v. A minor fraction of the amount "n- nually expended in interest, if devoted to the payment of a bonus, would insure tEe regular and satisfactory operation of a fleet of ships under private ownership and management ply inc between the ports of the United States and most of the important ports in every part oL the world.

PASSING THE WAR DEBTS TO
 AMERICA

Paris dispatch says ''the French, British, Italian, and Belgian governments have been working night and day to lind formula which will allow their separations delegations to say unitedly and gracefully, that the all'eS will be delighted to reduce the reparatlohs bill if all the war debts are annulled Thus thev will attempt to pass the buck to tic United States.'
 That is in line with the talk which has been coming out of Europe ever since the slgnlng of tie Versailles treaty. No statements pN tie government of the United States, by lead ing economists or statesmen of thls country or by p;tifu! minority of the Europeans Who see the light and understand the international situation appear to be able to change thls at titude.
 The American position has been put blunty, but to no avail It must be reiterated The world. and especially Europe, must be brought to realize that the matter of separations IS dls- tinctly matter for settlement among tue nations which demand and those winch must pay reparations. The United States has never asked 1eparations or any form of indemnity as the result of the World War. Except for the influence which a settlement of European Financial troubles might have upon world trade and prosperity the matter of reparat'ons IS of nothing more than academic interest to us,
 The war began in Europe, the out8roWth ot age-old political and racial rivalries. It was Europe's war and none others until actual hostilities, not the causes which melted then ieopardized the welfare of this country. Then we went in and protected our interests and got out By rejecting the Versailles teraty we left the reparations question entirely to Eu- rope Let Europe settle it. If Europe can't that is not our fault or our responsibility There is no reason whatever why we should cancel indebtedness to make the payment of reparations easier
 And even if there were reason, there IS no evidence to show that such cancellation would make such settlement easier. None of the countries involved are paying their debts to tie United States. Only England is preparing to pay even interest. Why, then, would an numcnt of debts, which they are not paying in any event, assist in the settlement of the separations issue? It would not. We can get along without Europe much better than Eu- rope can get along without us. The pending tariff bill, or at least more severe one, will CT could prove that conclusively.
