low, then can the relations be-
IL tween the Soviet government
and the Communist Party ON the one
hand and the orthodox church on the
other be subsequently consolidated?
There is no better way than on the
basis of the decree separating the
church from the state and the schools
from the church Those golden
days when the church was an official
part of the government win never re-
turn. Church ceremony and the
clergy have once and for all been
thrust out Of the state institutions.
The Soviet school and the Red army

precincts nor WIN they hear his ser
mon There is only one territory left
ON which the priests may preach the
word OF god" and that Is IN the
churches.
But, just as In the past, the energet-
&c persistent and uninterrupted fight
against religious dope which has been
carried on thruout the length and
breadth of the Soviet Republic, win be
continued During the years Of revo-
luton and civil war the orthodox
church lost tens of millions Of its fol
lowers. These were lost as a result
OF the revolutionary fervor Of the
masses. They had no. need whatso-
ever for any lords or gods. The
church also lost these masses as a re-
suit Of its ceunter-revolutionary activ-
tiles, which helped the people TO I'M
derstand the class character of the
orthodox church. What has been lost

church in its attempts to entice back
those who have once left, can only
meet with failure. At the same time
we must not lose sight Of the enron

Tfkhon and the many tens of thou

follow him (and indeed, the over

We Communists, of course, may re-
proach Patriarch Tikhon with not
having an international point of view
and that In his heart he Is too easily
reconciIed to such entirely centradIc-
tory governmental systems as the So
Wet and bourgeois regimes. But We
need not look far to find an explana-
ton fer this. Patriarch Tikhon and
his entire church organization are be-
coming adapted.
They desire to conserve their infIu-
ence over the toiling masses and are
thereby compelled to adapt them
selves TO the political views OF these
toilers. So that they may still be able
to carry on religious propaganda, they
have decidedly broken with all their
past political theology. The Patriarch
TfkhOn and the whole Of hts hinge
church organization were indeed only
OF value to the counter
insofar as the authority and extensive
connections that this church had
among the masses could be utilized
for the struggle against the Soviet
regime. In Kolchak's army there
was a whole detachment OF orthodox
fathers" Generals Denikfn and
Wrangel made connections with the
kulak elements In the villages thru
the intermediary of the orthodox
priests. The various scattered kulak

Last Testament Of the Patriarch TkhOn ! By NJ RATE. IN.

TUE entire Moscow press has pub
= Hshed the last testament Of Tx
hon, patriarch Of the Russian ortho-
dox church, who died few days ago.
In this testament this erstwhile ire
eoneilable enemy of the Soviet power
calls upon all believers 10 be at peace
with the SoViets as Athere Is no gov
eminent that does not come from
Cod
Patriarch TfkhoR recognizes the So
Wet regime as the real government
Of the people. strongly condemns all
eounterTevolutionary religious groups
and also appoints a special commits
sien Tor bringing to trial all these or
thodex bishops who have been carry
ing on a struggle abroad for the re-
storation OF the old order.
Patriarch Tikhon asserts categor-
ically that all the DEGREES and prac-
teal measures Of the Soviet govern
ment are quite compatible with COM
plete freedom OF all religions. He
therefore summons his followers to
adjust the regulations Of external
church life and activities to the new
state order.
DATRIARCH TIKHoN'S renuncia-
OF eeunteF-revolutienary ideas and
his recognition Of the Soviet power
took place already year ago, and
since that time he has again been able
to be at the head Of the orthodox
church. Nevertheless this last appeal
of his, written when on his deathbed,
by the very nature Of its contents
Is Of enormous political significance.
What falsehoods have been spread by
the bourgeois and menshevik press,
particularly In connection with the
question Of the church,
Here we have a man who Is un-
doubleday an authority In that connec-
ton, and who announces to the whole
world that there is complete freedom
of conscience In the Soviet republic.
This alone Is a blow for the whole
counter-revolution, which thereby
loses yet another argument In its agi-
tation against the Soviet republic.
But this blow Is Of still more serious

Of the people,"
But to stamp out this opium, per-
sistent and lengthy struggle is neces-
sary. Following Tikhon's appeal the
orthodox priests will do all in their
power to strengthen their influence
among the masses Of the town and
still more among the village popula-
ton. They are carrying on their &C
tiVities and win continue to do so on
the basis Of the decree ON liberty of
conscience. But there is yet another
decree in the Soviet republic. the
Ike of which is known by no other
state in the world This is the decree
on the state propaganda Of Commun-
ism. As against the propaganda of
the church there stand In fully array
the entire organization of state power,
the whole apparatus Of the Commun-
list Party. the Y. c. L., and Commun-
ist Children's Sections. and a whole
network Of Soviet Red Army schools
OF all degrees thru which e0O, 600 of
the peasant youth pass every year.
The whole Of this organized force IA
by no means neutral on religious cues
tons, nay. It ia fighting organization
Of struggle against religion and
against the church. Under the guild
ance Of the Communist Party mass
ant-religiOus propaganda stin in
creases. A wide network Of atheistic
circles win, during the next few
years, embrace the entire working
class and peasant youth, not to mem
ton the children who already, long
ago have been lost to the church.
EFT Us now draw the necessary con-
= illusions: Patriarch Tikhon's ap-
peal Is blow to the counter-revolu-
ton and In itself is a sign Of the
ever growing strength of the Soviet
regime, in fact the appeal still more
strengthens the Soviet power.
The organs of the Soviet power and
the Communist Party, in the future as
in the past, VIII stiu more consistently
carry on their struggles against the
opium Of religion, SO as to prepare for
the time when priests viii have no
connection whatever with the toflfng
masses Of the Soviet republics.

WHO WILL PRESIDE
OVER THE CITY COURT?
NO SUCCESSOR TO EDWARDS
HAS BEEN APPOINTED. SEW
ERAL NEW ANGLES.

Who will preside over the City
Court next Monday the time for the
next quarterly session to convene?
That is the question many are ask
ing, but no one can answer.
AS previously announced, Judge M.
c. Edwards rendered his resignation
to Governor Walker to take effect on
October LIST. His successor has not yet
been named, and ii is possible that the
governor will await. the result of the
election tomorrow, which will decide
whether or not the court will be abol-
ished, before making an appointment.
Another proposition has been in
jected into the controversy over the
court by Representative j. ID. Weaver,
who wrote the governor urging that if
the election results in the adjustment
Of the court on January LIST next no
appointment Of a judge be made for
the intervening three months and save
to the county the salary that would
be paid a Judge Mr.. Weaver return
ed on Thursday from a trip 10 Allan
ia. and informed The News that the
governor had said that he would let
the matter take that course.
Also, it may be that if the court is
voted out the governor will not accept
Judge Edwards resignation, in which
event he would continue in the posi-
ton until January.
Colonel R. r. Marlin is the only
applicant Tor the judgeship in the
event a successor to Judge Edwards
is appointed, and it is, understood that
he has practically the unanimous en-
dorsement of the bar.

Dawson Team Gives the
Camilla Boys a Drubbing
Won One-Sided Game Played Friday
By Score of 20 to 0.

The Dawson high school football
team continued its victorious march
Friday. when it defeated Camilla 70
to 0. The game was played at Daw-
SON Four touchdowns were scored by
the varsity in the first quarter, and
the scrubs Joined in the fun in the
second quarter, holding the visitors
scoreless.
On account of automobile trouble
which delayed the arrival OF the Ca
milla team the game did not start I'M
til 80 O'Clock. Dawson won the toss
and elected to receive at the north
end of the field On the third play
Bridges swept around the end. for IS
wards and a touchdown. Thereafter
the game was a rout as long as the
first team stayed in the field.
John Hollingsworth, making his
debut as field general and fullback,
showed up we'll. His run from the
middle of the field for touchdown
and the ease with which he handled
the team assures Dawson OF a worthy
successor to Bridges, who will grad
uate this year. Jim McClung broke
into the game by hitting the line Tor
a gain of Is yards, and his work was
nothing short OF spectacular. Every
man on the team played excellent ball,
the whole eleven acting as unit.
The scrubs, appearing for the first
time this season in game, went III
for nearly three-quarters OF play Al
though inexperienced they held the
Camilla lads scoreless, and kept the
ball most of the time.
Due to the weather only few fans
were present to see the game, which
was the last until October 23rd. Fri
day afternoon Dawson will go to
Americas to get revenge on the Sum
ter BOYS for marring perfect record
last year. Anyone having an automo-
bile that can go on the trip are re-
ouested to let Charlie Lewis or Spen-
Ger Worthy know about it.
