VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPOOOS ‘'~ MINNESOTA- FOREVER. ‘Exasperated - as‘ are the inhabi- tants of the northern part of our commonwealth, -they are not ready to shatter the state, a star which shines as brightly -as any in the national galaxy. There are many good reasons why a division can not take place, the| first being because a majority of the people would not favor it. We of the north share the pride that tingles| the blood of all patriots when the eyes of the nation, as so often is the case, are focused on Minnesota as a winner in growth and greatness. If there was aught to be gained by a threat that the great riches of the north were to be withdrawn in- to a seperate dominion, the strategy might be encouraged, but we fail to see the wisdom of such a move. As a matter of fact, long before a division of the state could be brought about, the representation for which an admittedly discriminated section has been caling, will have been granted. In the law of nature it is ever a survival of the fittest—and the fittest is the man with the most muscle. The north is forging ahead at a tremendous rate; her mines are bee hives of activity, her lands are being settled and her cities are rapid- 1y doubling in population. All this while the south is making a losing fight to hold her own. If a shameless senate should be thwart the demand for reapportion- ment at this time, its unholy vie- tory wil be shorted lived. Reappor- tionment will come and it will be much easier to win than a state divi- sion, and with a proper representa- tion, the north, which now is the most important part of the state by far, will see to it that needed reforms are quickly established. NURSES—AND CLERGYMEN. “We even demand. a: clergeman’s statement as to character.” These are the words used by Dr. Arthur B. Ancker, superintendent of the St. Paul city hospital in discuss- ing with a-reporter the shortage of nurses. The doctor had explained that no occupation offers greater opportuni- - ties to a young woman than does the profession of nursing, which brings to a successful graduate-from §$20 to ing. “We have plenty of applications,” rj:carpenters and painters. $25 a week as well as social stand-| sald "Dr. Ancker, “but they are not from the right kind of young women. Our requirements are very exacting. We even require a clergymen’s state- ment as to character.” 3 If the hospital superintendent told | the. truth. he is cheating-himself out of as good.material &s can be found for -the -moulding of nurses.. There are young women whose character needs no ministerial O. K. Here is an example: At the request of a friend a cer- tain young woman attended a church where. a. minister of the old.school preached long and loud of the eter- nal damnation which awaits all who fail to “get right with the Lord,” getting right consisting of joining the church represented by - the preacher and obeying the:commands | of his institution. This minister.made: “hell fire and brimstone” a strong-feature of his remarks and closed -every: avenue to future happiness for. .those passing to the great beyond without the pro- tection of his select: denomination. The young woman listened to the {words in horror. She had. heard | other clergymen dwell. along the | same line but never.before had struck |home with such cruel force. This is understood when it is known that a month before the young woman had kissed her mother an eternal farewell, and - her mother was mnot only without the church ‘whose doctrine she had heard exemplified, but, indeed, was not,an active mem- ber of any church. Still- the daugh- ter believed her mother to be the sweetest and best and purest of wo- men and this is why her heart ached when the minister-before her almost in so many words poured out again and again the terrible words, “your mother is eternally damned because she wasn’t a.member of my church.” The young woman left the church her faith in Christianity severely shaken. That young woman was alone in the world. She wanted to do some- thing to make life worth living. Ultimately she decided to become a trained nurse. Since that time her gentle hand has soothed many an aching brow. .not seek to begin her career in the city hospital at St. Paul where a clergyman’s statement as to char- acted is demanded. This is not an isolated case; there are- many exemplary young women, thoroughly - qualified to become nurses who refuse to furnish a clergyman’s- statement of charac- ter.
