1t is a case of party and victory

the Smith adherents push the claims
of their candidate, however, is re-
markable. They seem to be blind to
the fact that a large part of the
people of this great national domain

Mr.. Lord said that he should not

suffrage He said. however, that the
representatives of the District have
for years been going before the
platform committees OF the preslden-
tial parties asking for such recogni-

II suggest a plank which would
merely advise Congress to grant
plebiscite to the people of the Dis
trict to determine what kind OF gov

Mr.. Lord said that if national rep

constitutional amendment and would
take twenty years or more to get ac-

 The attitude of the S~~~ish Lu- . theran church is given by Rev. Dr.. Abel Ahlquist. pastor of the First Lutheran church. Rev. Dr. Ahlquist
 is prominent in official circles in the
 kiwanis club. His statement follows:
 The Herald has asked for state
 ment regarding the attitude of the Lutheran church on war. He is in- | formed that resolution reaffirming
 that it is right for Christians to en-
 gage in just wars and to serve as sol
 diers,' and emphasizing the fact
 that the arbitrament of arms should
 yield more and more to the arbitra-
 ment of reason and law will be pre-
 sented to the United Lutheran church
 convention at Chicago in October.
 This resolution, based on the six teenth article of the Augsburg con-
 fession, the basic declaration of Lu-
 theranism, was adopted by the com-
 mittee on moral and social welfare of the United Lutheran church in America, meeting in New York city.
 "The declaration adheres to the well established Lutheran principle of non-interference between church and state and the belief that while the church may point out the right principle, it is up to the statesman or politician to determine the method. The Lutheran church has always taken pride in being thoroughly loyal to established government. In the late war she furnished a larger quota of young men for the army and navy, in proportion to her size, than any other church. But the question of loyalty to country and of war are two different questions 4 Lutheran Christian is loyal 10 his government at all times, not the least in times Of peace. And when his country is- sues a call 10 arms, he has no con- scientious objections to needing the call and giving his Service and his life if necessary, for his country. But war from the biblical and Christian viewpoint is unethical, is immoral. and is resorted 10 only because the human race. even where it is the highest cultured and the best, is not governed by the spirit of Christ. The great object Of tho church is 10 re- double her efforts 10 preach Christ at home and abroad and to protest against war and at the same time to so train her young men and women Lhat they as citizens to use their best efforts to influence their government 10 substitute the arhitrament of law and righteousness and love for the Nrbitramcnt Of war"
