come in the Republican Leadership
since the days Of Lincoln. Today
the Republican leaders believe In
both the dollar and the man. but
In case Of conflict. they believed In
the dollar before tho man.
The same alignment 10 found
on the labor question. Republican
leaders are on the aide Of capital
a. against labor. and are respon-
slbls for the serious situation In
the industrial world today. Never
before since our nation was born
has the Industrial situation been
less satisfactory than today.
More than ever before the In.
dividual members Of the two
groups known a. the "Capitalistic
Group" and the Labor Group"
are class-conscious-t 10, they

they regard - an inevitable oon-
flict.
The struggle between labor ana
capital has been brought down to
q brute basis. with the spirit of
brotherhood exercising less and
less influence. The Church has a
duty to perform In reconciling
these two groups. The Church
believes In God and II believes
that the same God who made the
employer made the yempioye.
The Church believes in Christ
and It believes that the same
Christ Who died for the employer
died for the employe; the Church
believes In the coming Of an uni
vsrsai brotherhood and II believes
that that brotherhood. when II
comes. must include both those
who pay wages and those who
work for wages. It 10 the duty

they ought to become acquainted
in this world.
ANTbIABOR ATTITUDE.
The Republican leaders stand
for policies that tend to divide So
ciety into classss-to separate the
people into the privileged classes
and the unorganized masses. The
Republican iesders are in sympathy
with the efforts Of the big corpors-
tions to break up the labor orsani-
cations. and II 10 this sympathy

longed the strike.

dence on our own part. We can
not afford to allow any other ma
ton to decide the question OF
war for us.
Congress alone has the power
to declare war and that power
cannot be surrendered into the
keeping Of any other nation or
group Of nations: but, reserving
the right to decide when, for what
and under what circumstances we
shall use our army and navy. our
wisdom and influence ought to be
exerted whenever desired for the
adjustment Of disputes that might
lead to war.
Our President has no right to
take US into war either to aid
other nations or to aid individuals
or groups. Europe has interests
entirely different from ours
commercial interests that are pro-
tected by armies and navies. We
may use our moral influence to
keep the sues canal open and to
make the Bosporus neutral. but
we cannot assist any other nation
in enforcing this policy.
And so with the protection Of
those who suffer from the bar
barity Of Turkey. We can use
our moral influence to protect
them. but we are not called upon
to send our army and our navy
into the Orient to rescue the OPP
pressed and the prosecuted from
acts Of injustice.
II any Of our own people are
there. we can bring them away in
times Of peril. as we brought them
from Mexico. but we cannot en-
gage in wars far away from home
In order that American citizens
may remain In other countries in
time OF war.

MARSATAWA CL j B.
HOLDS BANQUET AND.
BUSINESS MEETING
FINE PROGRAM OF TOASTS FOL.
LOWS FEAST IN PAVILION OF
COUNTRY CLUB WHICH WAS
ATTENDED BY FIFTY MEMBERS.

About 30 members OF the Marsatawa
Country club held their banquet last
night In the pavilion Of the club on
the country clubs ground. The COM
pany assembled about half past six
and sat down to the table about sew
an o'clock where the following menu
was served
Puree of Tomato Soup with Wafer
Crackers.
Roast Pork Sweet Potatoes
Brown Potatoes with Gravy.
Cabbage Salad Beets.
Peach Jelly with Banana Filling
Coffee. Cigars.
The captains OF the two sides that
had played the match for the banquet
was Harry Spencer and Oscar Kroehn'
Ike. Mr.. Spencer acted as toastmaster
as his side was victorious in the
match beating Kroehnke 1921. Mr..
Spencer in few we'll chosen words
told about how the match had been
won and called upon p. NJ. Macarthur
as the first speaker. Mr.. Macarthur
spoke briefly congratulating the cup
upon the successful season. beautiful
club house and grounds and hoping
the sport of golf would be continued
in Marseilles He also touched upon
the approaching election on the adop-
tion of the new constitution which oc'
ours on December 18th.
The toastmaster then called upon
Mr.. Albert Deane to tell how he beat
Philhmore the crack golf player of the
club. Mr.. Deane said that the old
fellows had to give way to the young
and that II he beat Phillimore 1t was
only by chance. He spoke of the IL

nances of the club and said that II
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
(three thousand) to keep the grounds
In order and make the necessary re.
pairs on the club house.
Mr.. Deane further said the Marsa.
tawa club had been the means OF
bringing many people to the city who
Would mt otherwise come. That dur
ing the sunmer we had visitors from
Chicago, Rockford and the nearby
cities Of Streator, Morris and Seneca
and many from Ottawa and that the
keeping up of this club was only sec.
ond in importance to the paving OF
the streets in the city towards putting
Marseilles on the map. He also said
that Marseilles had been singularly
we'll situated during the recent depres-
sion in business In other parts Of the
state and that the people were general
ly prosperous and now was the time
TO pave, and get the city out Of the
mud.
The matter of the payment for the
power mower was touched upon and
Mr.. Deane said that he had contributed
500 towards the purchase OF the ma
chine and he took great pleasure In
donating that to the club. Several
other members who had contributed
amounts for the same purpose direeted
the secretary to cancel the clubs In.
debtedness to them. 1t seems now
that the entire amount paid for the
machine which was $1,000 will be do
mated to'the club by those who as
sumed the payment.
The Certain-teed Corp. donated the
shingles to re-shingle the roof of the
club house. The Marsatawa country
club has had very successful sea-
son and will start out in the spring
with bright prospects for the CON
tinuation of this healthful sport which
is getting very popular in Marseilles
as well as all over the United States.
During the banquet Mr.. Alexander
Vaughey sang three beautiful solos,
which were greatly appreciated by
those present.
