STARVED SOULS
Duluth Herald.

There was published last Sat
urday in The Herald, there is pub
lished today, and there will be
published every Saturday for six
months at least, page advertise
ment that has an interesting
story connected with it.
This page advertisement is
paid for in large part by the con-
tributions of a large number of
local citizens who are doing it
solely for the good they may do
by doing it.
They are men, in the main,
who have learned by personal ex-
perience what religion can do and
has done for mankind, who rea-
lie that without the leaven of
religion society is utterly soul
less and lost, and who know that
anybody who can help a neighbor
to renew his associations with
the church is doing that neighbor
a good turn,
So these advertisements, paid
for in this manner, are invita-
tions TO go to church. The mat
ter that appears in them is pre-
pared by a volunteer committee
of local clergymen representing
different creeds; and there is
in that matter, and in the invita-
ton it sets forth, no tinge of
sect, no reflection of any particu-
lar belief except the conviction
common to all Christian churches,
that only through the name and
spirit and life and words and
deeds Of Christ Jesus can human
ity be saved from the coil of fear
and pain and sorrow and trouble
in which it finds itself sadly en-
meshed; that there is none other
name under heaven given among
men whereby we must be saved
Religion isn't just going to
church, II isn't just a formal
statement of a belief. II isn't just
listening to sermons, singing
hymns, or participating in a rit-
ual. All these are a part of re-
ligion- perhaps it might be said
that they are the habilaments of
religion.
Religion is a spirit, principle
of conduct. a way of living, a
plan of human relationships, a
chart of the high road through
this brief space Of human life
mapped out, for Christians, by
Jesus of Nazareth. who was at
once the son of David and the
Son of God. Churchgoing, creeds,
sermons, hymns of praise and
thanksgiving are its vest
ments; not it, though essential to
it.
There is a soul. and there is
body. The body. we all know, can
be starved: but we do not all
know that the soul can be starved
too. The starved body dies. but
so does the starved soul; and
there is nothing more tragic in
all this world than body that
goes on living when the soul has
died.
Yet the death is only SEEM
ing. for the soul never dies. 1t
can be awakened into being, its
essential unity with the universal
good that is God can be realized.
and its revival can produce. in

The legislature added ten
routes to the system bringing
the total to 1000 miles but made
no provision for a corresponding
provision in revenue for trunk
highway purposes. Instead, the
average tax on automobiles has
been considerably below the $1S
figure agreed upon. Last year
the net tax on passenger cars
averaged about $3.50, whereas
an S18 average would have yield
ed $2,000,000 more funds for
needed road work.
The Minnesota highway pro-
gram favors the farmer as does
no other highway development
plan in the United States. 1t pro-
vided last year about S1O,50O,0OO
of current income for the main
highways which serve four out
of five road users in the state.
The same year more than &c.,
100000 was raised for the local
county and town roads used by
the other fifth. Yet some agita-
tors try to argue that too much
money is being used on the state
roads.
Of the motor vehicle taxes
the only money collected for
trunk highway purposes in the
state-more than half is paid by
car and truck owners in the cit
les and villages. The federal
government has contributed a
goodly percentage in aid. So the
farmer pays not to exceed rs
cents on the dollar of the fund,
all Of which is used on rural high
ways. Farmers living off the
routes, but using them in the
majority, pay the small motor
vehicle taxes, if they happen to
own cars, toward the trunk high
way fund. And farmers living
on and using only the trunk
highways pay four, FIVE and six
times as much in county and
township road and bridge taxes
used entirely on the roads for
farmers of the first group.
Taxes on automobiles in Min
nesota are less in proportion
than those on pianos and other
property subject to the personal
tax-and the good roads are
thrown in free. The Minnesota
tax on motor vehicles, trucks and
BUSES and penalties added in, is
only $16.72 gross. The average
motor vehicle tax over the Uni
ted States is $20.35. Minnesota
citizens by great majority
pledged a more onerouS" or
heavier tax on automobiles than
on other personal property and
an Is dollar minimum average.
The proposed 2-cent gasoline tax,
if added, will call upon the aver
age owner to pay altogether an
annual sum comparable with that
collected in other states. 1t will
give him in return the use of

Trade UniOnism
The Only Way

The problem which the wage
Garner is compelled to deal with is
not solved by stock ownership,
company unions, welfare work, or
any other system, method, or con-
dition originated by the employers.
The wage earner's principal
problems are grouped under two
heads; under one lies the entire
question of terms of employment
and conditions of labor; under the
other the relationship which exists
between employer and employed.
The trade union movement exists
for the purpose of enabling wage
earners, as such, to have a control

THE FEMALE OF THE
SPECIES.

Here's a situation that should cause
men agitation,
When we consider what the future
TO US may bring.
In this great and glorious nation, we
find a close relation,
When statisticians point out a quite
important thing.
While our population of millions can
loan other nations billions,
We hardly give a thought to what
the census shows.
Though Jazz" has replaced cotillions
and we never will be minions
We should be prepared for sudden
and unexpected blows.
The census takers say We have three
million women more today
Than men, two million more widows,
than widowers in the land.
And the men will soon be prey. II
the women gain that way,
So it's well TO consider just exactly
where we stand.
The danger seems to Turk In making
men do all the work:
For men have so many sisters
cousins and aunts.
q boss like the Terrible Turk"
And men will wear the skirts and
the women wear the pants.
So the men will have to get together
and prepare for stormy weather.
For the clouds seem to be gathering
fast and thick.
And IL the men they want to tether,
who the nest will feather,
And II wives will support their hus-

FINE
Collects SO From Motorist for
Crossing Stop Sign, Then
Disappears

Taking the responsibility of
enforcing the traffic regulations
into his own hands, an unidenti-
field colored man yesterday after
noon stopped Leonard Cammack,
of Silver Spring, Nd, as the
latter drove his automobile across
Stop sign at Seventh and Mt.
Vernon place northwest, and ex
tracted s. from Cammack as q
fine.
Posed as Officer
Representing himself as a traffic
officer the colored man mounted
Cammack's running board and in.
structed him to drive to the crimi-
nal Court Building, where the
amount of the fine would be desig-
mated.
Commack, a stranger in the city,
didn't know any better, SO he uheyed
the Officer when, upon their ar
rival at the courthouse, he was in
strueted to wait in the hall while
the "officer" found out how much
the fine would be.
Cammack claims now that it was
adding insult to injury when the
Officer, remounted his automobile
and ordered him to go to the Traf-
fic Bureau.
Rubbed 1t In
1t was rubbing it in, according
to the victim, when the color man
vanished into the Treftic Bureau
and emerged with a copy Of the
traffic regulations, admonishing
Cammack to read them carefully.

tective Christensen, of the Second

MEN FOR
PLAN
Combination Structure Deem
ed of Importance in
Emergency Cases

Construction Of a great COM
bined bus terminal and District
National Guard armory is being
studied today by the Public Utili-
ties Commission, at the suggestion
Of Major General Anton Stephan,
commanding the guard.
The armory would occupy the
entire second floor of the terminal,
which would cover an area of at
least a half block and probably
q far larger space, according to
the plan.
Combination Favored
Such combination Of the armory
and the bus terminal. it was pointed
out by military men, would be of
tremendous strategic importance in
event Of any great emergency. Suf-
ficient motor vehicles would be i'm
mediately at hand to move the
entire District guard, with arms
and equipment. it was pointed out.
This use of motor buses for
emergency purposes saved Paris
when it was first threatened by
the Germans. the French army
moving to the battlefield in taxi
cabs and buses.
The District militia is now
located in an old building at Fifth
md L streets northwest, raxL to
the Convention Hall. The guard has
been using the old hall foI drill
purposes. Owing to remodelfng of
the building, however, it will be de-
prlVed or such use for this purpose
in the future.
IL has been suggested to the
utinties commission that when the
proposed bus terminal is laid out.
u would be a simple matter to de-
sign the second floor as an arYnorv
at small additional cost.
It has been pointed out to the
commission that the gathering of
National Guard members several
times week would materially in.
crease the value Of the concessions
to be located in the bus terminal.
The need Of the District for an
adequate armory has long been
considered by military authorities,
District officials, members of Con.
