An interesting article in the current number
of the Literary Digest Current meaning the issue
of July 14th) is the article entitled Men of Sci
ence Also Men of Faith This is condensed re-
port, resume in fact of an article written by
DR.. Robert A. Millikan for the Christian Cen
fury, and is in some measure at least refu-
tation of the world-old contention that men of
science are prone to be atheists. It's climax is
reached in the authors statement that Every
man who reflects believes in way another
in God" DR.. Roberts elucidates this by saying
that it Seems as obvious as breathing that every
man who is sufficiently in his senses to recognize
his inability to comprehend the problem of
existence, to understand whence he himself came
and whittier he is going, must in the very admis-
sion of that ignorance and finiteness recognize
the existence of Something, Power, Being
in whom and because of whom he himself lives
and moves and has his being" For the thought
full the Digest's article has sufficient merit to
make one want to read DR.. Roberts article in
its entirety.

Demogoguery is of the besetting weak
nesses of our country, and it is indeed very
unlovely vice. But who is to blame for it? We
force our public officials to be either demogogues
or to lose their jobs. We make them realize that
their one chance to continue in office is to make
cheap play as champions of the people," CIV
ing their attention not to careful, fair and calm
study of public questions, but to crafty pet
ting of all temporary prejudces and passions. We
oblige them to please strong groups in their home
community in order to insure their reelection.
And then we complain when men turn out to be
not statesmen, but politicians. The way to make
men measure up to the highest responsibilities
of public office is to have them free of fear from
their fellow citizens And to give them this free
dom from fear, the citizenship must have high
conception of it's duty, and realize that the
poorest public official is the man who is willing
to be rubber stamp Winnebago City Enter
prise.

Because they have failed to comply with
state laws regulating rural schools nine school
districts in Mobiles county will lose $3.50 each
this year. One school has neglected to fly
the Stars and Stripes; another has poor ia
cilities for drinking water and the others have
inadequate buildings
What has happened in Mobiles county may very
easily happen in every other county where school
officers negligent in their duty of providing
proper school facilities and otherwise conform
ing with state school regulation. 1t should hap
pen-there is no better way that we know of
to teach officers and school patrons that laws are
made for regarding instead of disregardng

The Minneapolis Journal of last Wednesday
stated that there have already been twelve years
of steady conversation toward the doing away
with the twelve hour day, calling this the 'great
est talking marathon race in American indus
trial history" Still the twelve-hour days drag
drearily on in the steel and iron industries, which
thus become not industries at all but institu-
lions OF torturng slavery. Latest figures show
that hundred, twenty thousand of these twelve
hour workers are still to be found in these works
In spite of Mr.. Gary's recent so liberal remarks
which bark back to Andrew Carnegie's 1914
statement, Three turns sure to come. Eight
hours will be the rule-eight for work, eight
for sleep and eight for recreation It is not
capital we need to guard but helpless labor" We
don't blame Samuel Gompers for sayig Bunk
in very loud and unpolite voice!

AS we struggle manfully (womanfully rath-
erD to fill up this column on this Friday morning,
we are struck by the consciousness that since
it is not to be read until next Tuesday evening
or Wednesday morning, anything we might feel
inspired to say about Mondays election stands
good chance of falling far short of the mark. For
who prophesy On Friday what the great
voting citizenry of Minnesota is going to do
Monday! Certainly not political novice like
the editor of the Gazette. 1t is no secret that
the Gazette hopes Preus will win and win by
sufficient majority to prove that whatever Min
nesotans may be politically they are not for send
ing an aide of La Toilette to Washington as
their representative in the Senate But just at
this minute our big hope is that however Min
nesotans may vote, they will VOTE; that all
this talk we have heard the last few weeks about
people not being interested is untrue that we
will all vote to prove that we are awake to poll
itcal problems, that at least thinking, ev-
en- if we are thinking wrong. Above all else we
hope that there will be bigger womans vote
than ever before, thus showing to the sceptical
that women are awake to statecraft even though
we are still studying its merest rudiments. May
be these hopes of ours will all be dashed to
PIECES when the ballots are counted Monday
night But who could live without hope-or who
wants to 1lay down" even though hopes are dash

You tell me that law is above free
dom of utterance, and | reply that you
can have no wise laws nor free en-
forcement of wise laws unless there
is free expression of the wisdom of
the people-and, alas, their folly with
it. But, if there is freedom, folly
will die of its own poison, and the
wisdom will SURVIVE That is the
history of the race. 1t is the proof
of mans kinship with God.
You say that freedom of utterance
is not for time of stress, and / re-
ply with the sad truth that only in
time of stress is freedom of utter
ance in danger. No one questions it
in calm days, because it is not need
ed. And the reverse is true also;
only when free utterance is suppress
ed is it needed, and when it is need
ed it is most vital to justice. Peace
is good. But if you are interested IN
peace through force and without free
discussion-tha is to say, free utter
ance decently and in order-your in
terest in justice is slight. And
peace without justice is tyranny, no
matter how you may sugar-coat it
with expediency. This State today IS
in more danger from suppression

Don't take this election too seriously,
urges w. X. Nicholson in his very readable
Waseca Journal. mo matter who gets elect
ed or defeated, we will have twenty-four
hours day, eat our three meals, and the
world will probably wiggle along without
even getting a hot box. Don't take life
so seriously. You'll never get out of it alive
anyway" Brother Nicholson is a philoso-
pher, but we are not quite sure whether he
is an optimist or pessimist. Perhaps the
part of wisdom is to be little of both. The
wise man avoids the extremes, for he has
learned the truth of what the sage old Ro-
man said, eve walk most safely in the
middle."-Dawson Sentinel.
Most safely perhaps, but there isn't so muc
un in this "mddling" business:

One of the best opportunities Redwood County
women have had to get acquainted is offered in
the County Club Rally to be held at Miroy next
Thursday. This is the kind of meeting where
you take your luncheon and stay all day and just
have good time every minute, besides learn
ing lot of things you didn't know before The
best part of day like this is the fellowship-and
we hope the school house at Milroy will be packed
so that we on the north side of the County can
get to know the women of the southsfde, that re-
sidents of Three Lakes may feel that they really
know the women of Delhi and so on all the way
around.

We are glad to know that the thirteen thousand
Minnesotans who have not paid their 1923 license
fees are going to be made to do it p D. @. This
is legitimate fee, in compliance with asreason-
able and easily understandable law. The state
has been lenient enough with the negligent ones
and now is plenty late enough to start about the
task of making them pay up. Anyone who is
financially able to own and drive is able
to pay the contingent tax. Evaders should be pun
ished just as surely as should the evaders of
other laws.

From the International Conference of Christ
ian Citizenship at Winona Lake comes the word
that the only formula for universal peace is to
TRY Christianity" For nineteen centuries men
have struggled to bring to success self
chosen process to this end. Now comes the first
constructive admission that there be success
for such a process. Was it not Bernard Shaw
who answered the charge, made during war days.
that Christianity had failed, by replying that
christianity has not failed, because Christianity
has never been tried" When every nation arous-
es herself to a real consciousness of what con-
stitutes Christianity the "tryr will have become
well started. And on this matter the Winona
Lake conference says "The nations of the world
must depart from selfish ndividualism and hu-
man isolation" Which brings US back to world

And from both the old line parties comes
the statement that the balance of power belongs
with the women voters We are glad the powers

four years. Now if the girls can only agree on

Ten or more years will show the world the
quality of our chidrens religion. Time will
show whether it built up character, kindled en-
thusiasm, quickened responsibility, strengthened
the muscles and snews of character. Ethics are
not enough. childhood without religion is a
childhood without romance, and romance is to
child a. the greenwood is to bird. Romance
means the freedom of far-off lands and magic
cities, the vision of dim mountains and distant
seas, the hope of infinite possibilities; it means
faith and hope and love. If religion is pushed
out of sight by materialism, childhood will suffer
and later civilization will suffer. For it is es-
sental to civilization that "your young men
shall see visions" and "your old men shall dream
dreams" Only with vision can mankind go for
ward.-Yale Review.

New York State College of Agriculture is
calling the attention of the editors of New York
to what Whittier has to say about the Village
paper" in "Snowbound." Inasmuch as Whittier
is probably not so much read nowadays as once up
on time, many editors probably are not aware
that he once paid the local paper very high tri-
butte, both as a news medium and as welcome
guest. Here it is:
At last the laundering carrier bore
The village paper to our door.
Lo! broadening outward as we read
To warmer zones tn horizon spread
In panoramic length unrolled
We the marvels that it told
Welcome to us its week-old news.
It's corner for the rustic Muse
It's many gauge of snow and rain,
It's records mingling in breath
The wedding bell and dirge of death;
Jest, anecdote, and love-lorn tale;
The latest culprit sent to jail;
It's hue and cry of stolen and lost,
Its vendue sales and goods at cost
And traffic calling loud for gain.
We felt the stir of hall and street.
The pulse of life that round us beat;
The chill embargo of the snow
Was melted in the genial glow;
Wide swung again our ice-locked door,
AID all the world was ours once more.
