Points to States Lead
In Bringing About Reforms

Here is q strange parallel:
At that time. you will recall.
there were dire predictions Of
what was going to happen In
this reform movement. It was
said that these people coming
in cared nothing for social Sc
curity. They said that Re-
publicans and the others who
came in would forget all the
humanitarian impulses that
Americans are normally subject
to and that they would be
cruel to the aged, to the unem-
ployed, the sick. the needy. In
actual fact, you not only proved
that honesty in Government
pays of in terms of dollars ard
cents, but today Minnesota leads
the Nation in its measures for
mental health, for law enforce
ment. youth conservation and
social welfare. feel that there
is a very, very large segment
Of America that never forgets
that it really owes you a debt
for this example, that relies
on you now to take the lead,
indeed. that is extremely proud
of you. You gave it a chance
to push out its chest and stand
up and look people in the eye
and say, "Of course, We Ameri-
cans can get rid Of that kind
Of thing If I'VE want to-" D
The next subject that I have
discussed with these friends Of
mine is how do we do 1t. I need
to say little to you about the
methods for doing this. You
proved In 1898 that you recog-
nized the relationship between
the privileges and the rights Of
American citizenship and its
responsibilities. You exercised
those responsibilities. We must
do that now. That merely means
getting a start. If you exercise
your responsibility Of participant
ing in the political activities Of
your State and Nation, but II
you exercise your vote, all Of you
all Of us In this Nation-then
we win get the kind Of govern
ment we want.
Having gotten installed the
kind Of government we want
with the kind Of people who
command our respect-not little
men too small for their jobs, but
the biggest men and the most
outstanding men that our coun-
try can produce from agricul-
ture, industry. the professions,
our colleges-when we get honest
government that commands the
respect Of all Of us with that

Warns Of Indifference
In Government

Up until that moment by our
sincerity, by our honesty. by
such wisdom as God gave us,
the great leaders all over the
country Of the Republican Party
in State. In county and in ma
tional affairs are trying to lay
before you programs that they
believe are wise and suited to
the American scene. But on
January 20 they actually have
to begin performing. The point
I want to leave with you and
ask you to consider every day
of your lives is this: Citizenship
does not end with the election
Of the officers Of your choosing.
You still have the Job Of keep
ing those officers informed as
to your beliefs. They have to
know that you are just as in
terested In morality, moral
standards, the spiritual basis OF
our Nation after election as you
were before. ~ no means al-

ST. PAUL. MINI. Sept. n.
Here Is the teri OF Gen. Eisen-
hoper's speech at the Mime
sofa State Capitol yesterday:
Gov. Anderson and my very
dear friends:
BY coming out today to allow
me to greet you, patiently watt
ing to listen to the few thoughts
I wanted to leave with you, you
do me great honor. Mrs. Eisen-
hover and I are particularly
sensitive to this kind Of q COM
pliment paid us by this kind Of
throng Of free Americans. We
are truly grateful to- you.
Just as ! started up here from
the train. an associate said to
me: you have addressed is
gatherings Of your fellow citi-
zens since yesterday morning at
8 o'clock" and this fact set me
to rejecting over the reactions
I have had-reactions from the
audience itself and reactions as
indicated by the letters or notes
they dropped on my train before
1t left town: by kilograms they
sent afterwards. I find that the
general or basic feeling among
all Of these people is that for
. one reason or another. the time
has come to change our leader
ship In the Federal Government.
! find also. ladies and GENTLE
men. that these people want me
to give thoughtful reasons as to
why I believe the same. / have
found that they place at the
top OF the list their feeling that
we have been pursuing an aim
less sort Of fumbling course
abroad. During the past seven
years, they think that we have
frittered away a great oppor-
tunity earned by the blood Of
our soldiers. our sailors and our
airmen In World War II. Com
ing out Of that war the mightiest
military force Of the world. we
found ourselves not only unable
IN the councils Of the world to
get others to agree to our view
points. but we found ourselves
f1nally In great trouble in Korea
because Of errors we had made
In that region.
They feel that there is a way
OF working ourselves out of this
aimless path and getting into q
broad highway that all of us as
Americans can understand and
all OF the world. the free world
particularly, can understand as
TO what We are getting at and
the wisdom Of our course in
following it. This subject I
made the object of my talk at
Philadelphia only a week or so
ago. ! am not going to take
your time today to review what
l then said. but I shall have
more to say about it during this
campaign because I do agree
tnat overshadowing all else in
our lives is the question of
peace, finding a way of dealing
with the world in cooperation
with all free countries so that
our boys may stay at home.
our young people may 90 to
tneir colleges or take their Jobs
or places on the farm or in the
factory and not 60 of to foreign
shores to protect our interests.

Episcopa|ians 10 Vote
On Biggest Budget
In Church History
BY Casper Names
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

BOSTON. Sept. ia record
breaking $5,929,043 budget for
1858 was presented today at the
57th General Convention of the
Episcopal Church. The same
budget will be in effect for 1854
and 1855 as well as 1858.
The church's program for the
coming triennium was presented
to joint session of the House of
Bishops and the House of Deputies
by the Rt. Rev. Edmund p. DAN
bridge, Bishop of Tennessee. Each
house will meet later today to take
action on the measure.
An unusual aspect of the report
was that the proposed budget ex-
ceeded by $123, 1884 the original fig
ure of $5,805, $50 requested by the
denominations National Council,
working body Of the church be-
tween general conventions. Usual
ly the program and Budget Com
|mittee reduces rather than adds
to budget requests.
Missions Get Increase.
Greatest increase in appropria-
tions was for domestic missions,
which was increased $371,768 for
a total of $1.524,018. OF this sum
$4,000 is to be used "by domestic
missionary bishops in consultation
with the one department for the
increase of salaries of missionaries
and travel allowances"
Overseas missions received an
increase of SPOIL to reach a
figure of $2,310,153 for 1853. Larg-
est single advance was 500, 900 for
missionary work in Japan where
the statement declared "the
church faces a missionary oppor-
tunity unparalleled in modern
history this will make it pos
sible to send more missionaries
and give timely aid to the Jap
anese church"
Sayre Appointed.
The statement also observed
that the Rt. Rev. Henry Knox
Sheriff., presiding bishop. had APP
pointed Francis P. Sayre, former
Undersecretary of State, as ''his
personal representative to the
Japanese church and people,"
& Among the other increases pro-
posed is $23. 900 more for the De-
partment of Christian Education
totaling 1901. 038; $4,000 for the
Christian Social Relations Depart
ment, totaling $81, $40, and $24,-
785 for the Department of Promo
ton, totaling $234,091.
Major Resolutions Up.
Resolutions bearing on national
and international issues will be
voted upon today by the House
Of Deputies.
Most of the motions were ap-
proved yesterday by the House
of Bishops. Affirmative action by
both houses is needed before q
resolution can become official
church action.
Among the statements to be
acted upon are those relating to
the Christian attitude concerning
participation in war. proposed

riers aimed at reducing the sale
OF japanese goods in the United
States, fairness Of congressional
investigating committees toward
those being investigated, racial
discrimination, preventive war"

Disease, Poor Soil
Harm Soybeans

Disease and a deficiency of man
ganese continue to raise havoc
with the soybean crop in Ottawa
County according to County Agent,
Fred T. Grimm.
About 900 of the requests for
help coming to the Extension Of
flee are about sick and dying soy
beans. Many farmers have been
spraying with manganese sulphate.
Others were to use the airplane
this week, but many acres still re-
main untreated.
Farmers report to County Agent
Grimm that they can see change
in the soybeans within three to
five days after spraying. 1851 ex-
perience showed that yields could
be increased as much as five bu-
shells per acre. Cost of treatment
is approximately $3.50 per acre.
A shortage of custom spray
operators has hampered the spray
ing of fields. Farmers equipped to
do this spraying are urged to con-
tact the Extension Office in Oak
Harbor.
