OFFIOIAL COUNTY AND OITY PROCEEDINGS FE —— TIMES AND PEOPLE CHANGING. That people do not go to church as much as they used to is a well-known fact, and probably there is no one reason for it, but a combination of reasons, chief among which is the fact that times, customs and people are changing all over the world, and nothing is now as it used to be. People do not read books and magazines as much as they used to, either. They go to movie picture shows and go riding in automobiles. Hundreds of thousands who used to go to church and then read a book on a Sunday are now kiting all over the country in autos. Probably the coming of the auto- mobile has taken more business and working men == e — — — — away from Sunday church services than any other =] 0IIBHON m UP THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER e source. People like to get out into the country and away from the city, and Sunday is about the only day they have to do it. Many who in their childhood were taught to be- liéve in the divinity of Christ, a literal heaven and a personal God, a literal hell and a personal devil, no longer hesitate to say that they do not believe in these dogmas and creeds. ' It is & hard problem to solve, and yet every man and woman ought to try to solve it, for it means more to every one of us than anything else does. Our idea is that we should all lend our moral and financial support to the church, because of the great good it does to mankind if for no other reason. We do not have to absorb all of the dogmas of the various creeds if we do not want to, but have the privilege of accepting such as appeals to us and getting what good we can out of them, and casting aside from our minds such of them as we do not want to accept. § When we go into a restaurant we do not eat everything on the menu. We eat what we want and leave what we do not want, and there is no reason why we cannot do so with church dogmas. Following this simile up further, it is a fact that on the menu there may be a lot of food that we do not want, but that some other people would .rather have than any other kind so why not let them enjoy the kind they like and we do the same? We do not get up from the table and leave the house just because there is something served which we do not relish—then why should we leave the church for a similar reason? It takes all kinds of people to make a world, and all kinds of food to satisfy them, as many kinds of food, in fact, as there are kinds of people. And this applies also to spiritual food. Whatever the reasons for the people drifting away from the church, they are wrong, and they should drift back again. PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL (By EXCRANGE BEDITOR) The Boy Is Right! George M. Cohan has another one on his race, told as usual with great relish. Levi was talking enthusiastically to his son, telling him to save, pointing out examples. “Vy, tventy years ago Isaac Goldstein stood on this corner selling shoe shtrings. Today he owns the corner.”” “Aint dat too bad?” said his boy. “Too bad, vot nonsense, vy too bad?” “Vy, dot poor man, ef he had had only valked up and down he would have owned dot whole block.” —Smiles.

Again and again we have read of strangers in distant towns whe have been cured by this or that medicine. But Bemidji’s pertinent question has always been “Has anyone here in Bemidji been cured?” The word of a stranger living a hundred miles away may be true, but it cannot have the same weight with us as the word of our own citizens, whom we know and respect, and whose evidence we can so easily prove. 8 0.

This is supposed to be the cause of the trial and sentence of Jabotin- sky, and the Zionists here are await-’ ing anxiously for some explanation of the whole affair. Coming on top ot the alleged ‘‘double-dealing’ of the League of Nations in connection with Jewish affairs, it has caused somewhat of a sensation here, and the situation can be easily described as most tense.

London, May 26.—The Jews of England—particularly those belong- ing to the Zionist organization—are preparing to ask the League of Na- tions a number of pertinent questions at the first opportunity. They want to know—and will in- sist on knowing—why the promises which they claim the League has made regarding the settlement of Jerusalem have not been carried out. They will also want to know why one of their leaders, a man who prac- tically organized and made the ““Jew- §sh Legion” which fought so well for the Allies, has been sentenced, by what is believed to be a British court-martial, to fifteen years penal servitude. At the same time nine- teen other Jews who were tried with him received sentences of three years fmprisonment. M. Jabotinsky is the man who got the fifteen years. When the news- papers here called attention during the war to the fact that there were thousands of Jews here who were dofng nothing for the country of their adoption, Jabotinsky suggested the formation of a Jewish Legion. He was at that time a newspaper man and possessed great influence among his compatriots. He enlisted in the Legion and, by example and speech, got others to follow, until a battalion was formed which made up a portion of General Allenby's army and did good Work in Palestine. At the conclusion of the war Jabo- tinsky was released from service, and he elected to renrain in Jerusa- lem in order to assist in establishing the New Zion—one of his pet theor- fes. Tle was offered the 0. B.
