Prohibition Manners.
(The Commonweal)


 Prohibitionists-or similar word descrip tive of pathological condition approaching if it does not actually the line separating normal mentality from aberration-may yet become sub ect for scientific study if recent performance es of the more extreme type of the Volsteadans may be regarded typical. An Associated Press despatch from New Orleans, for example, described how at a luncheon in honor of Dr. Mcbride, sup erintendent of the Anti-saoon League, the Rever end E. o. Ware, another official of the Anti-saoon League, said he did not think it would be sinful to pray for the death of all the exbrewers in the United States" What we need,' he added, "is more first-class funerals among the enemies of prohibition" Well, many of the prohibition agents doing what they can to oblge the Reverend E. O. Ware. But perhaps the most astounding lem taken by it's champions is afforded by the ac ton of Senator Jones who, in distributing rabid dry statement by a Dr. Arthur Macdonald, of Wash ngton D. O.. published in the Congressional Record of March 4, actually prints on the outside of his ranked envelopes the following Christian descrip tion of all who venture to hold other opinions than those of the fanatical drys: All criminals bandits ex-convcts and thugs; all street. walkers, harlots prostitutes and degenerates against prohbi- ton. But the good church people, the humani- tarians those who try to uplift and help others are for prohibition. Therefore do not split hairs; join crowd the other. As the Bible says 'Ye cannot serve God and mammon'."

BISHOP SPEAKS AT
ROTARY LUNCHEON.
Says Each Person Owes Il to
Himself to improve His Own
Human Qualities

1T. Rev. L. H. Seager, lie Mars,
Iowa, senior bishop Of the Evangelical
church, was the principal speaker at
the weekly luncheon meeting Of the
Rotary club Wednesday.
In an inspirational talk. Bishop
Seager commented on the need for
quality In human beings and the
duty which each person owes to him
self to improve his opportunities.
Each Of US, he said, carries in his
heart a picture Of what he would like
to be. Each of us, he said, would
like to honestly consider ourselves,
loyal, fine, true, honest and reliable.
Most Of us, the speaker asserted,
would find difficulty in giving r
selves a 100-per-cent rating on these
points, since it is only human nature
to be a little bit shabby, a little bit
lazy and a little bit unreliable. There
is nothing which will do the individ-
ual more good, however, than to at
tempt to make himself, in the flesh,
more like the ideal which he carries
in his mind, Bishop Seager said.
When men see others Of no greater
ability going ahead of them in bust
ness and the professions, he said, it
usually is a sign that there Is some
thing lacking in the man who is
passed by and the only cure Is to make
an analysis of ones self and work for
improvement. There are seconds
in the quality Of men just as there
are in the quality Of merchandise, ne
asserted, and persons who lack the es-
sential qualities are easily discovered
by those with whom they come into
intimate contact.
Rev. Seager was introduced by Rev.
Ira l.. Herzberg. pastor Of the First
EVANGELICAL church at Seventh ST.,
and Rosser Ave. Bishop Seager is
preaching at the church during Pas
sion week.
DR.. George M. Constans presented
some facts on Rochester. Mimi, taken
from a pamphlet issued by that city.
The district Rotary convention will
open in Rochester April 30 and the
information given vas for the beneflt
of those who attend that meeting.
N. o. Churchill described the best
means of getting to Rochester and
asked that convention reservations be
made early for both Rotarians n
their wives.
Guests at the luncheon included G..
r. Robertson. Valley City; J. @.
Gould, Lloyd Thompson and John F.
Sullivan, Mandan; p. H. Costello,

FORMER BISHOP BROWN LEADS HIS
 HUNGER PARADE
Still Just as Defiant of the Episcopal Church Heads and Religious Leaders

 The former bishop, who was oust- ed from the house of bishops m Cleveland six years ago. defed the Gallon chapter of the Daughters or the American Revolution to receive the army" of marching men and women. The aged teacher. author or communism and Christianity" en- tertained the mixers at Browneiia. his estate near here.
 In an address, he attacked the clergy and upheld communism as 2 religion more Christian" than Christianity. He said he was de- clared a heretic when he doubted the existence of better world. promised by a clergy which did nothing to better this world.
 "Bishops," he said, fix the price of admission to that other world, and reserve the seats for those wno pay. They are spiritual fakers." he cried. Attacking the capitalistic world, the aged man said that war was the only cure for it's economic ills. He asserted that the birth Of Soviet Russia was the only good which resulted from the last war, and suggested the adoption of the five-year plan in the United States
