SEES TWO SIGNS OF COMING CHRIST! Lecturer Says Mussolini and Hitler ‘Puppets’ Compared To Roosevelt ‘Two distinct signs are in evidence as indicating the second coming of} the Christ, Rev. A. W. Knock, of the Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneap- olis, told the Lutheran Bible confer- ence here Friday evening. “The first of these is the return of the Jew to Palestine as a result of political persecution and the hope of reestablishing Jerusalem to its former place in Israel's life. “The other is political dictatorship which has reached its highest peak under the American National Recov- ery Act. “As dictators with unlimited pow- ers to act, Mussolini and Hitler are mere puppets as compared to the; president of the United States and the program he has evolved as an at- tempt to establish economic and so- cial peace for the nation. The sec- ond coming of the Lord Jesus is just around the corner unless men come back to God in true repentance,” Rev. Knock said. “The Life in His Name” must be recognized as a gift from one who claims he can give it, Rev. Knock said in citing the episode of the man at the Pool of Bethesda, where Jesus made a claim of supernatural power to heal and proved that He was right. “Spiritual ills are just as disap- pointing as physical ills,” the speak- er said, “Pecple soon learn to enjoy them as well as many enjoy the bod- ily ills they have, and are more con- cerned about the sympathy of friends than they are about the cure neces- sary.” Ed ard Nelson of the First Luth- eran church sang “Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled accompanied by Mrs. G. Adolph Johns. The third and fourth conferences; of the series, which began Thursday j} night, will be conducted Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, at 7:30 p. m. and 3 p. m., respectively, at Trinity Lutheran church. Chapter 9 of the Gospel of John will be the basis for Saturday evening's study, in which Rev. Knock will endeavor to answer the question, “How May I Know that T Am Saved?” ee ly | Weather Report | ¢—__—_—__—_______—_—__-® FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: General- ly fair tonight and Sunday; cooler Sunday.

Each county has been making a desperate effort to keep off the gov- ernment’s poor relief list. While Burleigh and most of the others have asked for and received thousands of dollars of federal money, these coun- ties have asked not one penny. As long as they could do so they proposed to get by under their own power. And they have done a magnificent job. ‘TURNING THE VALUE OF HONEST PRIDE Put it down to honest pride or sheer perversity, they have taken care of their own poor. They have agreed with President Roosevelt that charity begins at home. Besides, they want to be able to say, when the depression has finally passed, that they were good counties. They want the advertis- ing value of being able to say they got by on their own. But, as tax collections fell off and demands for relief mounted, they have been strained nearer and nearer the breaking point. The burden has not been light. ie And so, they were glad when Vogel and his cohorts told them they could share in the federal road relief money. They saw the load getting lighter, welcomed this bit of assistance, The blow which was dealt to them when they were ruled out because they were not classed among the needy may well be imagined. It put mem- bers of the two county commissions in an unfair light before their home folks. And were they peeved? They had a right to be. THE GOVERNMENT HAD THE DOPE A member of the local relief committee tells an interesting story about the Burleigh County Unemployed Council, predicts it is pretty much a thing of the past. A few months back, it will be remembered, the council was quite an active organization. If its voice did not loom large jn community affairs it was not because certain members did not bellow loud enough. Demands, many of them reasonable enough, were made on the’ relief administration. Many sought to foist wild-eyed schemes upon the public, spent a good deal of time in plain agitation. , Came a day when a large body of them called on Judge A. M. Chris- tianson in his-office at the supreme court, presented their “demands” in vigorous terms. Said the judge: “You fellows are defeating your own ends, are making it difficult for us to help you. The government has in its files a good deal of information about each of you. In fact, it knows more about some of you than we do. If you keep up this kind of thing we are going to be cut off without any federal money at all.” There wasn’t much talk after that. The delegation seemed chastened, went away quietly. Since then the loud talking has stopped. There hasn’t been any agitation recently, though folks on the relief list aren't having any easier time of ft than before. BURLEIGH GETS MORE THAN ITS SHARE Incidentally, Burleigh county is believed to have more than its share of persons on the relief rolls—and the trick les in the fact that many of them are not natives. The reason is obscure. It may be because this {s a capital city. The fact that many folks flocked here hoping to get work on the capitol build- ing may have been a factor. But the fact remains that many persons listed as residents of Burleigh county on the relief lists are relative newcomers, sg HEATING UP THE BLOWTORCH Unless Governor Langer names nis beer commissioner within the next few days he is going to get a lot of heat, may catch some anyway. The law permitting legal sale will become operative Oct. 22, just one | month after the election. unless the canvassing board happens to be late with its proclamation of the official returns. On that date the license provisions and the tax on each pint will be- come effective. To date no preparation has been made to handle this business. Unless real speed is shown, many beer sellers will have to continue on their present. illegal basis. The state will have no organization ready to collect its tribute trom the foamy liquid. Already the prospective beer sellers are beginning to murmur about the delay, wondering what it is that holds up the appointment. The latest returns indicate there no longer are 37—or was it 47—appli- cants for the job. But there still are a large number of hopeful men. The the post. One objection to that is it will‘not meet with the approval of the drys. He was a wet candidate for congress last year. THE GOVERNMENT SAID NO With all the hullabaloo raised about the prosecution of J. P. Walsh and the subsequent disclosures this week, many persons were curious enough to ask what the government had done—or was going to do—about Governor Langer stopping the mails last July when he called out the militia, kept Serelany Byrne, Treasurer Dale and Judge Jansonius prisoners for an aft- ernoon, The answer is nothing at all—probably. A detailed report on the case was made by postal inspectors who flocked into Bismarck after the excitement was over. This was sent to the postal department and the department of justice at Washington, Back came instructions to federal officials in North Dakota to ignore the matter, do nothing about it. This came out when the federal court was in session here last week. What complicates the situation now is the arrest of Dale on a charge of using the mails to defraud. Some government officials are wondering how it will look if they attempt to prosecute Dale, let an admitted violation of the mails’ integrity go unchallenged. So something may come of it yet.
