business from their constituents in
December. Others leave the home
districts at the insistent demand of
the women folks who want to ''get
into society" By early arrival, the
socially ambitious can survey the
situation and make their plans ac-
cordingly. AS one newcomer in Con-
gress said at a local club the other
day, 81 would rather stay home and
sell myself to the voters in the dis
trict. Glad-handing is more profit
able at home than kow-towing to no
tables here" That homely express
sion summed up the true situation
In many cases.
1t is a notorious fact that many
members of Congress invite bank
ruptcy by lavish entertainments in
an effort to "be recognized by Wash
society,"" A study on the real
social events of the official season
here would show relatively few
functions given by "the powers that
be" in politics.

Military Expenditures
Center of Controversy

Washington, October 13.-Aside
from the debates on routine legis-
lative matters it is apparent that the
Congress will have much to talk
about during the winter. The quar-
rels in various Government agencies
involve the President and Congress
so that the prospects are bright for
a test of strength between the Chief
Executive and the legislative body.
Already some of the Congressional
leaders are sounding the tocsin.
The question of armament will I'M
doubtedly be conspicuous in the de-
bates. Those who have analysed
Mr.. Coolidge's address before the
American Legion at Omaha feel that
he has sounded a warning against
increasing appropriations for mill
tary purposes. The President has
very skillfully entwined the foreign
debt issue with the aviation contro-
versy. Legislators cannot very we'll
discuss one subject without consider
ing the corollary.
By ~indirection the President has
made known the fact that the Fed
eral Government cannot consistent
ly appropriate large sums of money
for national defense, especially for
aviation development and at the
same time demand economy of our
foreign debtors.
Sentiment Against Air Fleet
Those close to the President feel
that his Omaha speech will provide
a problem for those advocating large
air fleets. 1t was pointed out that
we cannot ask the French, Italian
and British to balance our budgets

angle. Next Sunday morning The
sermon will be Scientific Belief il
Miracles" We are often informed
through the periodicals of various
kinds that no one believes in the
miracles of the Bible in these days
of enlightenment. Is belief in a
miracle a sign of ignorance or crel-
ulousness. Some folks will believe
anything if told it loud and often.
Are you one of them?
The enrolment for week day re-
ligious instruction is very encourag-
ing. We have a class of IS high
school students and the grade en-
rollment has mounted to so.
Watch for the announcement of
the Christmas bazaar to be held on
Dec. 5 by the Presbyterian Woman's
club.
Next Tuesday evening, October
20 a congregational meeting is call
ed for by the Session. The business
of the meeting will be to discuss the
question of participation in the Pres
byterlan Ministers Pension Fund. 1t
will be necessary that a representa-
tive meeting be had. This meeting
is called at the suggestion of the
General Assembly of the Presbyter-
ian Church in the U. S. A.
Next Sunday evening the service
will be largely conducted by radio.
This will be the first radio service
to be conducted in a church in Wolf
Point. One of the best radios in
town has been placed at our dispos-
al and we can promise a service we'll
worth attending. These social Sun
day evenings are an attempt on our
part to provide entertainment of a
religious nature without the formal
lty of an ordinary church service.
The success of them will largely de-
pend upon those who attend. A
large attendance always makes a bet

The Sunday School attendance

New folks are coming to service
each Sunday, which shows interest.
One reason for the growth and pop
ularity of the Methodist church is
that it has always been progressive,
ever adopting her program to the
times and the needs of her people.
She has always been a militant
church, always against evil in all
forms, supporting every other in
stitution that does the same. The
Methodist church has always sup
ported the Anti-Saloon League. The
Rev. Wade, Anti-Saloon League sec
rotary of Montana will show the
wonderful moving picture "Lest we

next Monday evening. The church
should be packed as it is a wonder

Don't fail to hear him and see this
great picture.
The Woman's Club gave a fine

Methodist church on Tuesday eve-

cation are glad to cooperate with
this fine body of women in their
community enterprise. The Gospel
that the Community Service
Church" is preaching and fostering
is bearing fruit. A finer community
spirit prevails increasingly in our
fine city. Let us boost every good

The pastor is making plain the
foundations and structure of our
Faith in a series of historical SER

Busy folks don't have time to give
close study to the historical setting

The finger prints of young babies
are so like those Of their fathers

LYNCHING DECLINES,

Sixteen cases OF lyncfiug are reported for
the year 1924 by the Federal Council Of
Churches. which adds to its report the state
ment that growing public opinion is having
slow but sure effect upon Americas greatest
evil. the Court of Judge Lynch. 1t is pointed
Out that 10 of these crirrre events IS the lowest
figure since records have been kept. And
even though, as we go to- press, word comes
from Utah of a lynching there is cause for
rejoicing that this monster evil rs on the de-
cline, no matter what the cause may be. Lynch
ing, of course reverts to the days of prehis-
toric man. 1t IS not unlike the early English
custom of having accused folks thrust their
hands into cauIdrons of boiling water to test
their guilt or innocence, in wlrrf1 latter case
the flesh was not supposed to become scalded.
That l%yncling has endul ed so long in this
land of the fee and the rome of the brave,
tinted with modern Christianity. is one of the
anomalies OF Civilization.
Even in the face of the decline, sixteen
1vnclings are sixteen too many and so !ong
as one man. woman or child is victim of the
mob. Just so long will this country be unable
to boast of simon-pure Civilization We feel
that the testing time of the dual citizenship Of
Ameicans-cne in the State and one in the
United States-is at hand. And the time to
punish mobS which execute American citizens
without due process of law is long overdue.
The draft of sor1s for tire World War; tire
int erstate traffic. the federal laws
of taxation, and dozens of other matters have
been and are ar1enable to federal power: Who
then dares continue to presume THAT an Amer
lean citizen, beset by the mob. is not entitled
to federal protection, whether he be in Geor-
gia, Mississippi. Utah or |Maine, for that
matter
When State protection ends. it is time FOR
Federal protection to begin; for the Constl-
tuition says a person is a citizen of the United
States and of the State wherein he resides.
For a man whom the Federal Government
drafted to fight in France to be unprotected
from mob violence, or for that mob to go
unpublished for its Tawlessness. is, we think,
one of the present great incongfuiries or

weakness tending toward the propagation OF
crlnle. it must be admitted that the struggle
for mastery between good and evil is infuen-
ced BY ~r:citals Of aecl. and that a marked
influence may be noted from crime news told
from scr aiming headlines downward.
When lynching was in its hey-day in this
county, embellished headlines of the mob
formation and action, with accompanying pho
tograpf1s, had no quieting influence upon that
miserable outlawlessness Rather, to the di-
seased criminal mind glowing stories OF crime
were a stimulant, and variations OF felonious
deeds quickened weaklings to aspire to similar
accomplishments much like the youths who
were wont to initiate, in play, tile deeds of
Jesse Tarres and Captain Kidd.
News cerlsors of today have brought about
stringent lines for the suppression of vice and
crime news. Publications and news coursing
through Uncle Sans mail must be- clean and
wholesome. Municipal ordinances and state
statutes are guarding the types Of plays and
p~ictorals which exhibitors are providing for
public amusement, and even though the Jazz
age is in full bloom, and modesty is somewhat
restrained, the world realizes that the public
mind is in its safest sphere when it is kept
apart from visions of crime and vice; for
which. since Adam ate the apple, weak men
have craved; and which must be kept under
restraint to prevent infant minds from pro-
pagating the spirit of rivalry and attempting
20 outdo the doery of evil.
No. sir. Mister Boss. crime news should
not be broadcast.

Washington is all ''het" up, both physically
and morally The rare June days brought
beads of perspGration to the brows of Wash
ingtonians, and sweltering heat has scorched
the smiles of those few Christian scientists
who make believe that Washington is a cool
place in the good old summer time. Alas,
too. the bathing beach down on the cool Poto-
mac. which has so often brought temporary
relief to burning bodies, is no longer available
for Congress blue-penciled the appropriations
for the maintenance of the beach when it be-
came painfully apparent that the colored folks
of Washington, so often jim-crowed where
public utilities are concerned. would not accept

"Sunkissed' Westinghouse could desport
themselves for cooling or cleansing purposes,
as the case might have been.
Six drownings, during the hot spell quite
convinced Write. Washington that it had cut
off its nose to spite it's face in permitting Con-
gress to fail to provide funds for the beach.
So a compromise was undertaken to provide
funds and space for a beach, at the same time
alloting similar advantages, excepting as to
location. for the BROTHERS and SISTERS.
SO ~Insistent were white proponents of the
beach that wild and reckless promises were

sway in the First Congressional District of
Chicago from which cometh Congressman
Madden, though appealed to by Congressman
BIanton and other influential folks who, last
Spring, had gone without a beach in order to
keep the BRETHREN without one, remained
adamant and irmovabre, saying: II was not
