Two Indicted for Murder
at Noon; "Lifers" by Night
lsanti County Slayers Plead Guilty
and Are Taken at Once to
Saltwater

Indicted at noon Friday for the
murder last December of Frank
Dahlin, marshal at Isanti, Mimi,
Frank Gibson and Jack Northrup
had started serving life sentences
at Saltwater prison before night.
The swift operation of justice re
suited when the men, few hours
after their indictment by an Isanti
county jury at Cambridge, MINI /,
expressed a desire to ''get it over
WITH" and were taken into District
court at Cambridge, where they
pleaded guilty to first degree muir
der.
Gibson and Northrup, members
of bandit gang captured in gun
fight near Elk River, confessed to
Henry l.. Soderquist, Isanti coun-
ty attorney, that they took part in
the killing of the marshal, who was
shot down in an encounter with a
group of men lettering near a po-
tato warehouse in Isanti.
They were sentenced by Judge
p. "A. Giddings of Anoka, who
Thursday issued an order for a
special grand jury in their case and
went to Cambridge to hold court
Friday. The men were turned ov-
er to deputies late Friday to be
taken to Saltwater.

competing lines under foreign flags,
number of them backed by the
Italian government.
The chairman Of the Shipping
Board draws the inference. apparent
ly, from this changed condition of
competition which privately owned
American steamship line is compelled
to face, that foreign ship owners only
await the withdrawal of the American
Governments backing to wipe the
seas clear of American merchantmen.
Nor Is the chairman mistaken in this
inference. 1t remains to be seen
whether the American people and the
American Congress will acquiesce in
such a program.
American shippers and producers,
American railroads and the travelling
American public can themselves give
much aid to American overseas mer-
chantmen if they will. They can give
preference to ships flying the coun.
try's flag. There has been an indif.
ference to American shipping in this
country which has proved dishearten-
ing at times. Some Of this indiffer-
ence has been studied, unfortunately,
because of American money invested
in foreign shipping. But there ara
signs that Americans are taking more
interest In their merchant marine.
They should. Nor should Congress de-
lay further in the matter.

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. d. IL. D,
Bishop of Washington

!, II is an appeal for the recognition OF
q finer understanding among the ma
tions of the world, an appeal to settle
the disputes between nations, not
through the arbtrament Of arms, but
through kindly and intimate confer
ence. In the face of the disappoint-
ment that followed the conference at
Geneva on the subject of reduced
armament, these voices certainly have
q large and deep significance.
A third voice that has spoken with
unusual power has proceeded from the
classroom. 1t is the voice OF a great
physicist, namely, that OF DIR. Michael
l. Pupin. In a recent number OF
popular magazine, in an interview
with DR.. Pupin, he makes the state
ment that his research work in the
laboratory has not in anywise i'm
paired his religious convictions. lie
SAYS: "Science does not prevent man
from being a Christian, but makes
him q better Christian. My religion
does not contradict a single element
of the religion which my mother and
the people Of my native village held
when 1 was a boy. Science has SIMPLY
brought me to a higher. broader view
of the Creator. If science does not
assist me to give myself and others
a better religion, a better understand
ing of the Creator and closer per-
sonal relationship with Him; IL sci
ence does not assist me in carrying
out the divine purpose, then l am a
failure as n scientist. But science has
made me better Christian. I believe
it will make better Christians of all
men and women who try to under
stand it's simple and beautiful laws.
because they are the laws of God"
Surely this is hopeful statement
and would seem to contradict the
widespread fallacy that science and
religion are hopelessly apart.
The fourth and the most transcend
ent voice of all that has been conspic-
nous in recent days has been that or
the Master Himself. That Jesus
Christ Is more regnant In the life or
our time than He has been in any
that has gone before we believe to be
demonstrably true. More and more
men are yielding themselves to HIS
great system of life; more and more
they are recognizing the supreme
value of His philosophy. In the eco
nomic world, in the scientific world,
in the large world of human affairs,
men are coming more and more to
yield allegiance to His dictum. How.
ever poor the Interpretation of His
life may be as given by those author
lied to interpret it. nevertheless He
is persisting in human thought and
His voice is being heard as 1t has
never been heard before. His voice
is demanding that we shall more
widely and generally recognize the
universal brotherhood of mankind.
His voice is demanding cleaner and
more wholesome ways of living. In
spite Of all the tendencies that seem
to run contrary to His teaching, we
still believe that His voice Is more
regnant now than it has been in our
generation. Thus, listening to the
voices of the Summer, we return to
our task with the deepened conviction
that. now as never before, the oppor-
tunity for the Christian church and
for those who believe in the sover-
eighty Of Jesus is altogether incom.

Back the Merchant Marine!

Chairman O'Connor of the United
States Shipping Board has properly
declared that the Government, through
the board, will stand back of Ameri-
can flag ships in overseas trade, even
though they be privately owned.
Mr.. O'Connor's statement was made
with particular reference to ships
which had been sold by the board to
private American owners-ships which
hitherto had been operated for the
account of the board. Just what the
Government and the board can do to
help these American flag ships,
pressed by foreign competition, is
not so clear. Congress has neglected
to adopt a merchant marine policy
which gives adequate protection to
American ship owners and operators
Possibly at the coming session that
body may bestir itself and tackle the
shipping problem.
Any encouragement and aid which
the Government can give through the
Shipping Board to American ships en-.
gagged in the foreign trade, under ex.
listing circumstances, should be given.
In his statement, Mr.. O'Connor re.
ferred to the case Of the Export
Steamship Corporation. operating
ships in the Black Sea and the Med.
iterranean. This corporation in the
past operated a line of vessels to
these ports for the Shipping Board,
with the entire backing of the United
States Government and Treasury. In
those days there were but three com.
peting companies. The corporation
purchased the line, consisting Of nine
vessels, from the Government In Au.

Voices of the Summer.
TEXT: I Cor, xiv.10.


There are so many voices in the
world and none of them is without
signification."
Voices represent personalities. Per-
sonalities represent convictions or
ideals. Never before in the history Of
the world has the human voice had so
great power as in the age in Which
we live. This might very properly be
called the age of the projected or am
plitied voice. The President of the
Nation, speaking from the White
House, is able at one time to address
upward of fifteen million people. 1t
has been said concerning PRESIDENT
Coolidge that he has spoken to more
people in this country during his ad-
ministration than any President that
has preceded him.
Seated in our homes, we may.
through the medium of q modern in
vention, catch, night by night, the
voices that are speaking or singing
over a wide area. 1t requires an un-
usual amount of discrimination to Sc
lect from time to time the voices We
ought to hear. During the past Sum-
mer certain voices have been made
more conspicuous than others. To the
man who is attentively listening to
the voices Of the age there seem to
be those that speak hopelessly and du.
biously They are full of direful pre-
dictions of what Is to be on the NOR
row. Their motto seems to be: There
Is none that doeth good. no not one"
On the other hand, If one is listening
attentively and with fine discrimina-
ton. there are other voices that are
speaking hopefully. We single out a
few During the Summer months
there was held in Lausanne confer.
ence that in many respects is one
Of the most remarkable in the world s
history. 1t was a conference of men
representing 81 different communions,
who came together for the purpose of
considering what could be done to ef'
feet a better understanding and to
bring about finer comfy and unity
among the Christian forces Of the
world. While the issue of the confer
enco was not all that could be de-
sired, those who have observed it
closely and listened to its voice have
heard that which speaks Of new day,
in which the old rivalries and compe-
titions are to give place to finer un.
derstanding and a more cordial agree
ment. The voice of Lausanne would
seem to imply that intolerance and
bigotry are to give way to forbear.
ance and Christian courtesy. Lau.
same Is the voice of truer and finer
fellowship.
A second voice that has spoken with
force and eloquence during the Sum-
mer has proceeded from France. 1t
is the voice of peace, in the person
Of great minister, namely, Mr..
BRAND. 1t is the voice that challenges
America to recognize the fact that the
time has come where between America
and France an understanding or
agreement shall be reached that must
ultimately produce a warless world.
More recently another voice has
been heard in advocacy Of universal
peace. 1t is the voice of the present
President of the German Republic, the
voice Of Mr.. Hindenburg. Here again

and the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing was built to front on Fif-
teenth street to be extended, as is now
under consideration.
With the central (pavilion) building
for the Department of Agriculture,
connecting the two marble wings,
soon to be started, 1t is planned to use
the dirt from the excavation to make
fills along the north side Of the Mall,
so that new buildings to be erected
there, such as the proposed $10,000,-
600 art gallery, could be treated In
the same way as the New National
Museum with the main entrance from
grade on the Mall side, and an extra
story on the B street grade.
This filling-in work would make pos
sible an early construction of the two
Mall drives, the base for which has
already been laid in the section of the
Mall between Third and Four-and-a-
half streets. These Mall drives would
be in front Of the buildings on
the north and south edge of the Mall,
corresponding to A street north and
A street south.
This drive-building is seriously con-
sidered now, and recommended to the
President by the Commission Of Fine
Arts. because it is seen that such
traffic outlets would be extremely val
liable to relieve congestion during the
period of construction work on the
triangle. They would take much traf-
fic from west of Fourteenth street to
the Capitol off Pennsylvania avenue.
Such forward.looking plans, espe-
cially when a real economy can be
shown, such as the utilization of the
dirt where otherwise it's removal
would be quite costly. appeal to the
President.
Now is the time to get busy on
such preliminary work, so as not to
impede the building program.
