RELIGION BASIS FOR HUMANITY, ‘COOLIDGE SAYS ‘Greatest Service to World Is to Perfect Our Own Moral Progress’ Washington, Oct. 10.— (#) — Ad- dressing the general convention of the Episcopal church here today, President Coolidge proclaimed re- ligion to be necessary for the con- tinuation of American government and the maintenance of those lib- erties and privileges which are char- acteristic of American life. “We can not remind ourselves too often,” the chief executive said, “that our right to be free, the sup- port of our principles of justice, our obligation to each other in our domestic affairs, and our duty to hu- manity abroad, the confidence in each other necessary to support our | social and economic relations, and | finally the fabric of our government itself, all rest on religion. “If the bonds of our religious con- victions become loosened, the guar- antees which have been erected for the protection of life and liberty and the vast body of rights that lie be-; tween are gone.” Humanity Advances The present convention and other similar organizations were taken by Mr. Coolidge as evidence that “the major forces of the world are ac- tively and energetically engaged in promoting the iritual advance- ment” of humanity. “When,” he continued, “we re-| member further that this movement is steadily advancing through the years, .. . we realize that it pro- vides a complete and devastating answer to the indifferent, the cynic, and the pessimist. We cannot doubt that the world is growing better.” Has Far to Go This conviction should not blind the country to “the enormous work that yet remains to be performed and the long distance that must still | be traveled before the goal of hu-| man perfection is reached,” the president added. “There are almost whole continents « still to be reached and large masses of people everywhere still to be given the ad- vantages of modern civilization.” Mr. Coolidge warned his audience that America’s influence in spread- ing its faith abroad will be largely dependent upon its condition at home. “The light which we shed for others will depend upon the intensity of the flame which we create for our- selves,” he said, adding that there- fore “the greatest service which we can perform for the world is to per- fect our own moral progress.. If we can do that-we need have no fear concerning the helpful influence we shall supply to others.” FAMINE TRAILS MASSACRES IN RAVAGED CHINA Shanghai, Oct. 10.—(AP)—Civil warfare after a Mohammedan up- rising in Kansu province, which was stated to have claimed more than 200,000 lives, was believed to be con- tinuing in the western Chinese prov- ince. Hl In addition to the ravages of civil warfare the area was stated in ad- vices from missions to be suffering from an intense famine. This had been aggravated by the fighting and the advices said that Lalf the popu- lation of the province was liable to die during the coming winter. | (The latest estimate of the popu- lation of Kansu, compiled by the Chinese post office in 1923, is| 5,927,997.) Serious conflicts between the Kansu Mohammedans and troops of General Feng Yu-Hsiang, who claims the overlordship of the prov- ince, caused chaotic conditions, de- tailed information was not available in Shanghai, but a letter from the China inland mission headquarters at Lanchowfu, pital of Kansu, dated August 1 stated that acute troubles started last spring. At that time armed Mohammedan bands began raiding villages thoughout central Kansu, robbing and slaying the inhabitants who were unable to offer effective ‘re- sistance. Missionaries familiar with the Kansu situation stated that the war- fare was of the cruelist nature, be- ing based on religious differences. They said neither side was showing the slightest mercy. —. | City-County Briefs | Judge and Mrs. Thomas H.

Reid, World war veteran, who was set free as the result of action taken by his former buddies of the 363d infantry. Members of the infantry organiza- tion yesterday paid Reid’s back ali- mony and a fine of $20 assessed against Sheriff Roy Heard of Glenn county for contempt of court. The sheriff recently took Reid from jail on his own responsibility in order that the “alimony martyr” might attend a reunion of the service men in San Francisco. Besides the sheriff's fine, the vet- erans also paid $212 necessary to free Reid. He was delinquent by that much at the time the court or- dered him to pay or go to jail for contempt, in July, 1925. The total did not grow while he was in jail, but new payments for the support of the child will be due at the rate of $20 a month from the time Reid was set at liberty. Reid, who is said to be well-to-do, refused to pay the money to his wife, who has remarried, on the ground that she was not a desirable person to have custody of his daugh- ter. “I will stay in jail rather than yield to conditions repugnant to me,” he told Superior Judge Claude F. Plunkitt, who held him in contempt. The veteran offered to pay twice the amount fixed by the court, pro- vided some person other than his wife were given custody of the child. The court refused the offer.

A. Fisher, state treasurer, told members of a Rotarian luncheon meeting here to- day. “Fisher was one of speakers from the state capitol who Have been giv- ing a series of talks at Rotarian luncheon meetings to explain the workings of the various state offices. GL Spear, Burleigh county trea- surer, was the speaker last week. The total amount of $11,500,000, issued in bonds to the various schools throughout the state has been decreased by tpahersigetd a million and & half dollars, but fatm loans, also issued by the state trea- surer, increased approximately the same amount, leaving the financial condition of the state treasury in the same condition it was in four) years ago, Fisher said. He explained the decrease in the school bonds by touching on the condition of the rural banks a few ears ago, saying that their condi- tion at the time was such that if the school districts withdrew the amount they had in the institutions, it would leave the banks financially em- rrassed. During the last year the banks have strengthened them- selves to such an extent that the school boards have been able to, with- draw their money and pay it on bonds issued. : The cigarette tax,a subject of much discussion throughout the THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE during the fiscal year ending July 1, the state treasurer said. © The amount collected this year was ap- proximately $95,000 more than that collected in any previous year that the state tax has been in force, he said. Of this amount, about $20,000 was spent to enforce the law and for tage and express charges in de- livering the stamps to déalers throughout the state. i One new member to the Bismarck Rotary was introduced at the meet- ing besides two visitors.
