T|T[E Of BISHOP
T0BE CONSIDERED
United Lutheran Session to
Debate Application to
Synod Presidents.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 24-Appli-
cation of the title bishop" to full-time
presidents of synods will be debated
at the 18th biennial convention OF the
United Lutheran Church in America,
which will open in the Lord Balti-
more Hotel on October S.
The term is used in some European
countries, where there is life tenure Of
Office. The Lutheran churches of the
United States and Canada, tending
toward a more democratic form of
government, have elected presidents
of synods for a limited period only.
For some time unifying forces have
been at work among Lutherans.
Church synods have become larger,
and as result the need for full-time
presidents has become imperative. The
movement to give these full-time pres
idents the title Of bishop has gathered
1olNC- L llt SuUJtCC NdS IeltTTeu W
commission, which will make its re-
port at this coming convention.
1t is expected also that out of the
report of the Commission on Rela-
lions to American Lutheran Church
Bodies will come discussion of steps
toward church union with other Luth-
eran groups in America
The convention itself will mark the
goth anniversary of union of three
church bodies into one-the General
Council, the General Synod and the
United Synod South.
Five hundred and fifty registered
delegates are expected to attend the
convention. along with 1000 visitors,
including members of boards and mis-
sionaries from foreign fields.
The Rev. DR.. Frederick H. Knubel,
president of the United Lutheran
Church in America since its organiza-
ton 20 years ago, will preside at the
convention. which will be in session
for a week.

The Political Mill
The Poor Are Beginning to Realize 1t Is Difficult
to Get Rich on Relief

to the effect that the relief program
will really have to be increased during
the remainder Of 1888.
Do You Want to Eat or Not?
The number of persons receiving re-
lief. financed in whole or in part with
Federal funds during these New Deal
years is given also. In December,
1885. there were 1881 900 receiving
such relief. In March, 1888, the num-
Der was 20,l12.000. Judging from re-
ports from many States, this number
has been increased and is still increas-
ing.
The New Dealers expect to reap
benefit in the coming elections from
passing out billions of dollars Of Fed
eral funds. One Democratic and ex-
ceedingly New Deal boss, putting the
matter frankly and somewhat brutally,
said The only issue in the campaign
will be: DO you want to eat, or don't
you want to eat'2" And on that issue
this New Dealer expects to carry
many of the great States of the Union.
Well, he may be mistaken, if the pres
ent trend of thinking among many of
the workers and middle class people
of the country continues.
The New Dealers have been wont to
declare, when their opponents have
held the Constitution as a bar TO
some of their legislative vagaries:
You can't eat the Constitution" 1t
is equally true that the people can't
eat the New Deal laWs-no matter
how beneficial the New Dealers may
consider them. The Republicans in
sist that these New Deal laws, and
their administration, are just what
prevents recovery in this country
terrorizing the people, big and little,
who have anything to invest

eminent and Business" The Re-
publicans listed 81 New Deal laws
which have added to Government
control of business, at the same time
quoting President Roosevelt, as of
September %. 1882, before he was
elected, as follows: The Government
should assume the function of eco

sort to be tried only when private
initiative, inspired by high RESPONSE
bility. with such assistance and bal
ance. as Government can give, has
finally failed"
Senator Barley points out that in
this list Of New Deal laws-which he
contends the Republicans now wish
TO wipe out-are such wholesome
and popular measures as the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act, the Banking
Acts of 1888 and 1895, the Securities

He is the tiger cub-Clemenceaus
political finger-man while the old tiger
was busy winning the war, and vir-
tually dictator of France in the war
years. Generals jingling with medals
and politicians bloated with impor-
lance were routed through him TO
Clemenceau, and quite frequently
sidetracked if he didn't like the way
they parted their hair. They lay for
him like submarine, but they never
did sink him. When the old tiger was
buried standing up, M. Mandel relayed
and repeated through the years his
last message to France: Don't let
the Boche get away with anything"
AS the last of the Clemencistes, he
vehemently and angrily opposed every
concession to Germany and urged re-
sistance to rearmament, to the move
into the Rhineland and all other Ger
man thrusts to new thrones and do
minions. In 1888, sallow, emaciated,
in undertaker's black, he waved
mortuary finger at the French cabi-
net and told it that, If Germany were
allowed to rearm, in violation of the
treaty, it would overrun Europe in
few swift years. Furiously. he tried
to lash the government to action.
He was born Jereboam Rothschild.
Mandel became his nom de guerre. No
one knows why he made the change,
but it's supposed to have had some
thing to do with his desertion of Jul
daism to become a Catholic. Little
is known of his early life. Clemen-
ceau seemed to conjure him like
wrath out of thin air, when he was 20
years old. He became the old Tigers
