Thrills in Church

Kansas City business men inserted full-page
advertisement in newspaper Easter Sunday
urging Flaming youth" to get the 'new thrill' OF
church on Easter morning.
The add listed youths pleasures the Charles

daily and nightly existence becomes glorious
thrill after another"
Then the copy goes to ask if It could be God
that youth is cropping for with these physical pleas
nres "but the shadow the mirrored reflection of a
capacity for spiritual enjoyment whose depths you
have never sounded"
Because Christ lived intensely and died young

Editorial Comment
Liberalism
THE Nationl


Students of the University of Minnesota have
formed free speech committee to- demand the right
of Communist and fundamentalist speakers to APP
pear on the campus. The committee was formed
after university authorities, through Dean E. E.
Nicholson and President l.. D. Coffman, had during
the same week excluded Scott Nearing and the noted
fundamentals, W. E. Riley, from campus meet
ings. A semblance of consistency was gained by
excluding both a radical and a reactionary speaker
at the time, but in reality the ban works only
against the radical. Mr.. Riley may appear on the
campus under the auspices of student clubs while
Mr.. Nearing is refused the privilege of appearing
on the campus under any auspices. This action
comes with particularly bad grace from univer'
sity which employs it's faculty bitter anti-So-
Wet partisan, Prof. Sorokin who is much in demand
locally as a speaker against Communism. We hope
that the university will be successful in the coming
battle between Fundamentasts and the Liberals, in
which Riley and his cohorts will attempt to- pass
the Tennessee law through the Minnesota legisla
ture but the university is at fault in the exclusion
of Mr.. Nearing. Social liberalism is quite as funda-
mental as scientific liberalism.
The action of the administration at the University
of Minnesota created such widespread resentment
among students and professors that arrangements
were promptly made for off-campus lectures to stu
dents by Mr.. Nearing.

that infest seasonal operation and employment With
the study have gene experiments. Theories have
been tried out sometimes with success and some
times with failure Altogether the industry has
contributed much to the sum total Of knowledge in
this field.
| One phase which is very interesting is the scheme
! of paying compensation to men out Of employment
Through fault of their own.

one hundred and fifty cutters. Automatically out

five hundred dollars. OF the seventy-five thousand
dollars required the company furnished fortyeight

American Forest Week

President Harding first issued procamations des
ignating seven days in the year to forestry educa
ton. The idea originated the Pacific Coast in
1920 and has grown in popularity throughout the
nation until practically every state cooperates
with the federal authorities in American Forest
Week.
Gov. Sorlie in his proclamation sets aside these
days for intensive instruction upon the value Of re-
forestation. He emphasizes the need in prairie
state for groves and shrubbery.
The United States Department Of Agriculture
has set forth briefly what reforestation means:
Rcforestation means the renewal and
perpetuatiOn Of tree growth. In the main,
its object is to rear and harvest on the
same land, in amending round, successive
timber crops. Unlike many natural
sources, forests can be used and regrown
forever and forever. Continuous produc-
ton CT tree crops land best suited for
that purpose is the aim of forestry.
President Coolidge, in speech before the Ma
tional Conference on Wood Utilization, said:
Strange as it may seem, the American
people, bred for many generations to forest
life, drawing no small measure of their
wealth from the forests, have not yet ac
quired the sense of timber CROP I'M
sfnense stretches of cut-over land mostly too
3 rough too sterile for tilling, have not
awakened us to their vast potential worth
as growers of wood Fully one-fourth of
our land ought to be kept in forest
not poor dwindling thickets of scrub but
forests of trees fit for bridges and houses
and ships"
North Dakota should support the reforestatior
movement. The problem is vital to the future wei
fare of the nation. United States is using it's tim
