MILITANT PASTORS

The small country pastor has been
blamed for much of the iiliberaIity and
mistaken legislation of the past twenty
years. Indirectly he is responsible in a
large measure, but the real blame should
be placed where it belongs, on the shout
ders of the political leaders who have used
him as catspaw, and encouraged him in
crusades of a political nature, which aided
these leaders in retaining political power,
which they used for their own selfish ends.
They cared nothing for personal liberty.
SO long as they themselves were at liberty
to do as they pleased with the affairs of
the country.
Country pastors have hard life and
they make it harder for themselves by
permitting themselves to be used poll
tically.
They are as q rule men who sacrifice
great deal for their work. They are men
of education and culture. They are men
of intelligence. For the most part, they
are men of deep emotional feeling. They
spend years of their lives in training for
their calling and they are imbued with all
the reactions of the old martyrs SO religious
faith.
Unfortunately, they are not trained in
the broader questions of the tiIaes They
are trained to be dogmatic--to believe that
the line of demartation between right and
wrong is distinct and defined by limits
within which it is not possible for human
nature to remain.
The country pastor IS trained early
and turned loose with definite ideas of con-
duct which in the majority of instances
are hopelessly behind the progress of the
age.
Crusades against card playing, dane
ing, attendance at the theater, modes of
dress, Sabbath observance, use of alcohol,
tobacco and many other things, even in
Guiding hours of walking and sleeping, all
have had their supporters in the rural
clergy. And on this support INSCRIPTIONS
politicians have successfully traded.
1t is to be hoped that in the future
our pastors will try to study public ques-
tons from human rather than dog
matic point of view.
IL they do, there will be happier
and more efficient future for them and
their work
Not only Render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars" but let Caesar
do his own work.

is DEADL0 CKED
No Verdict After Seventeen
Hours DeIiberation in
Fraud Case.
After seventeen hours elaboration,

After seventeen hours elaboration,
criminal court jurors in the case of
James C. Seaman, automobile
dealer charged with conspiracy to
defraud automobile finance COM
panies, had not reached verdict.
The case was given to the jurors
at Thursday night by Special
Judge Clyde Karrer.
Karrer announced at noon that
if the jury had not reached a de-
cision late this afternoon, he would
summon them to the court room for
additional instructions.
It was rumored in the court room
that the jury was deadlocked II to
l, although information was not
available whether for acquital or
conviction.
Seaman was tried on the con-
spiracy count in connection with a
pretended transaction" charged by
the state on the sale of an automo-
bile to Melvin Lee Hindman, former
police officer, also under Indictment
William L. Bruce, connected with
Scanlan's automobile company, also
is under indictment. Trials of Bruce
and Hindman will be held later. AT
conclusion of the defense case
Wednesday, the state asked for in
creased bond for Hindman. Karrer
ordered the bond raised from $1,000
to $500.

France Seeks British Loan
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL,
HIVeu IIess oEan correspondent
Copyright. 1888, by United Press

Copyright. 1893. by United Press
PARIS, April 28.-France is pre-
pared to take huge loan from
Great Britain to bolster her
financial position, it was disclosed
today, when details of the monetary
accord between the two nations be-
came known.
A statement will be issued tonight
by Georges Bonnet, finance minister,
outlining the nature of the agree
ment, which is increasingly puzzling
to financial circles as fresh details
leak out
AS the price of keeping France
nominally on the gold standard and
controlling the pound in foreign ex-
change, it appeared that the British
government is ready to become a
bondholder to the extent of more
than 2,000,000,0O0 francs ($86,OOO,-
000) in French bonds.
These bonds would be bought
from the holdings in francs of the
British equalization fund, instead
Of converting francs to gold. Nor
mally, in the conversion process, the
gold would be shipped from the
Bank of France to supplement Bri-
tain's reserves. Now it will stay in
France.
The transaction reveals the seri-
BUSINESS of Frances financial diff
culties, in which she finds it expe-
dent to demand a foreign loan in
stead of f loating in the French
market the second half of the TO-
000,O00,000 franc loan recently au-
thorized by parliament.

lead to open warfare and bloodshed.
The violence began shortly after
noon Thursday at Primghar, Ia,
about fifty miles northeast of LIE
Mars.
Deputy sheriffs sent to maintain
order at foreclosure sale, were
overcome and beaten.
The farmers then marched to a
farm near LIE Mars, where a family
had defied district and supreme
court orders to surrender the
property.
A group of the militant farmers
appeared at the home of Clarence
Becker, declared by the court to be
owner of the property. An argu-
ment developed and Sheriff Rippey
was called.
Sheriff Is Seized
Farmers seized the sheriff and
Becker, and carried them to the
town park Shouts Of hang them
were heard.
Rippey talked at length with the
farmers, and succeeded in persuad-
ing them to release him and Becker,
after which both disappeared.
The mob then started for the
courtroom of Judge Bradley, who
presided at hearings in both the
Becker and Primghar cases.
Judge Bradley was on the bench.
One of the intruders demanded
hearing. His head was swathed in
bandages as the result of the fight
at Primghar.
What's your name" Judge Brad
ley demanded.
Il am Morris Cope of Wingsley,
Ia" he replied. He started to speak,
but after several words Judge Brad
ley cut him short
Judge Pulled Off Bench
At that moment, several farmers
seized the jurist, and pulled him
from the courtroom. They dragged
him past the sheriffs Office and
Offices of other authorities, but none
dared go to his assistance.
Five men, wearing blue bandanas
across their face, took charge out
side the courthouse. They attempt
ed to force the judge to promise
mot to sign a foreclosure on an
other farm"
Il can't do that" Bradley
answered.
He was knocked to the ground.
Other attempts to force him to take
the oath failed, and again he was
beaten.
A truck was pulled up and Brad
ley was thrown into the rear.
One of the attackers produced
greasy blue handkerchief and blind
folded the judge. Sixty other farm
ers joined the Caravan as it started
for the outskirts.

TURNER AFTER
NEW AIR MARK
Filler to Stop for RefueIing
Here in Cross Nation
Plane Fiqht.

Seeking new west to east trans
continental air record, Roscoe Tur-
ner, noted California speed record
f1ier, today was winging his way to-
ward indianapolis and the east
coast.
Turner left Burbank, Cal, in his
Weddell- Williams racing plane at
7:20 a. m. indianapolis time) to-
day, according to a telegram re-
ceived by Charles E. Cox Jr, mu-
nicipal airport superintendent.
Previous arrangements had been
made with Cox by Turner to have
a special grade of gasoline on the
field for rapid refueling when Tur-
ner lands here, his last scheduled
stop before Newark, N. j., his goal.
Other stops were to be made at
Albuquerque, N. M, and Wichita,
Kan.
Turner originally had planned to
hop off on the record flight last
Monday, but was prevented by in
clemant feather, and he delayed
start until conditions were more
propitiouS.
He is striving to wrest the pres
ent west to east coast speed record
from Jimmie Haizlip, who, last sum-
mer, made the 2,470-mile journey
in 10 hours 10 minutes.
Turner We'd with Haizlip for the
record the same day, but lost the
race by thirty-nine minutes.
The Californian already holds the
east to west speed record of IL hours
SO minutes, which he set last
November in the face of stiff
headwind, averaging 1892 miles an
hour in the same plane he is fly
ing today,
Turner, who has kept plans for
the flight secret, was not expected
to remain at municipal airport here

I'm afraid trouble vii brew if
the suit set for the circuit court at
Fowler turns out to be a foreclosure
action" declared w. S. Arms of Tai
bot, Ind, one of the members of a
farmer committee that met with
Governor McNutt earlier in the
week to discuss taxation mora
forum.
Arms said the revolt in Iowa
against judicial authority was not
conducive to stilling the storm in
the two Indiana counties.
"All lawyers of the two counties,
with the exception of one, agreed
not to bring foreclosure suits
against farms of the counties dur
ing the present depression period.
Saturday this lawyer is bringing
a suit into the circuit court of Judge
Charles Snyder. 1t is against farm
in the northwest section of Benton
county" Arms said.
Arms, with committee headed by
Robert Catherwood, president of a
farmers union Of the two counties;
Otto Gresham of Warren county,
and William Keefe of Benton coun-
ty, appeared before Governor Nc
Mutt on Wednesday, requesting a
tax moratorium on lands, farm
tools and livestock.
The farmers committee threat
ened that May taxes would not be
paid unless their grievances are
remedied.
Both Gresham and Arms declared
that farmers of the two counties
would not pay their taxes, after
Governor McNutt refused TO declare
