OFFICIAL COUNTY AND COITY PROCEEDINGS “It is useless to forbid larceny when the deacons make large church contributions out of excess profits wrung jointly from labor and the ultimate consumer.” That statement was made by Vice-President Marshall at a recent church mass meeting, and in those few words lies one of the secrets of the waning power of the church, and of the rise of wickedness and selfishness in this land of ours. Man can not praise the Lord on Sunday and serve the devil on Monday and still retain the xespect of his fellow men. The man who is reasonably decent but makes no pretension to Christianity can be respected for just what he is, for his very honesty in admitting his imperfections is a commendable trait. = (By EXCRANGE EDITOR) PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL . Bemidji was rapidly becoming civilized. The «oncert hall was to be discontinued Sunday even- ings. The barbers had agreed to let their whiskers grow on that day and a number of the merchants had signed an agreement to keep their doors locked on Sundays during the summer months.—Twenty Years Ago, in the Crookston Times. S G Down in Kansas they have passed a law that - places labor unions on a par with other organ- izations and protects their activities as such, pro- vided that said organizations comply with the laws of the state.

But the one who wears the cloak of the Lord to hide the work of the devil is deserving of just what he receives—the contempt of all people who know him as he is. b : There are good deacons and there are bad ones. The good ones do much toward the elevation of the human race. The bad ones besmirch the whole church with their own mire. . —_— DO AS | SAY, NOT AS I DO. Now we hear that President Wilson was dissatis- fied with the manner in which Britain carried on the naval end of the war up to the summer of 1917. Isn’t that just like the boy who stands on the side lines and tells his pal how to lick the bully who has picked a quarrel with him? The less President Wilson has to say about the war up to 1917 the, better. No doubt Great Britain could reciprocate and tell Professor Wilson she is very much dissatis- fied with the way he has managed the war since the beginning of 1919. 5 : DANIELS SPEAKS FOR MANY. Secretary of the Navy Daniels says the American people will never forgive Admiral Sims for his personal attack on the United States navy. Wouldn’t it seem as though the secretary is taking in quite a lot of territory when he undertakes to speak for the American people? Furthermore, as we read the ‘criticisms we hadn’t noticed that the United States navy was attacked. Just some of the offi- cers who thought they were the United States navy. Admiral Sims has performed a service to his country which is commendable. s G People will not stop talking about that waist- line social. We were asked today who the official measurer was. We told them we did not know but suggested it likely was some long armed “pusson.” Ssh! We didp’t mean it that way at all, at all.
