WRE.E THE MOTIEY GCES Billion-dollar come commonplace in this country, congresses have be- and the end is not yet. But billion-dollar congresses would- n't be so bad if the billions went for helpful purposes. If all the money appropriated out- side of that needed for direct govern- mental purposes went for approved public works, for instance, and was wisely and economically expended, this country could well afford to have billion-dollar congresses for a long time to come. But when a very large part of the money appropriated goes for purposes of war and preparation for war, it is a different story. When another large part goes to waste it is another story. Senator Clay presented to the senate the other day some figures that ought ta ‘be interesting. He showed that since 1907; this nation has spent more than a, billion dollars on the army. and so long as nations keep up the } and San Francisco. At $2 an acre it would drain over two billion acres of swamp land. At $20 an acre it would buy 212,- 500,000 acres of farm lands. It is nearly $50 for every man, wom- fan and child in the United States. Put out at interest at 4 per cent it would produce enough to provide a fiving for 170,000 families at $1,000 a year each. We mustn’t begrudge war pensions | stupid practice of being ready for war,.thus.constantly inviting.war,.this country must have an army and a navy. But that is no reason why one should not be appalled at these tre-| menduous figures, nor why those who} hope for better things shouldn’t specu- late on what splendid good could be} done with that money.if it were diver- ed to purposes of peace. Spent in pen sions for disabled and worn-out work- ing men, for instance, who have serv- ed their hero who ever wore the blue, it would provide comfort for many thousands. country just as truly as any During the three years it to spend $4,250,000,000 for war poses, this country spent $173,755,313 for the splendid benefit of rural free delivery, $296,075,161.44 for improv- ing rivers and harbors, and $128,172,- 407.08 for public buildings and grounds. For these three useful pur- poses the country spent in thirteen years a total less than $600,000,000, it pur- or one-seventeenth as much as spent for war. A dozen years ago this spent $28,000,000 on its mavy and $23,000,000 on its army. This year it will spend about $140,000,000 on its navy and about $100,000,000 on its army.

SoS CHURGH AGA TIST THE SALOUCN. There are always in every church organization a few misguided “tem- perance’’ people to take it as their dalling in life to fight the saloons, ands they put forth the puny effort seems really necessary—they seem to have accepted the saloon as the hereditary enemy of the church, and ly, let me tell you—they overlook entirely the man who runs the saloon his family, his friends, and all of his good qualities, of which he has many, and overlook, too, the condjtions which surround the man who is li- censed by this great and good govern ment of ours to sell the cup that cheers. Hibbing has its full share of saloons and it is only justice to say that they are about as orderly and well kept as the.saloons.of.any other.well.regulated and law-abiding community. The vil- lage authorities keep close tab on all of them and are quick to put a stop to anything that is a flagrant disre- gard for the law, and that should be satisfying to all of the people of the town. But it appears it is not. The village, we believe, can be trusted to regulate its own affairs, and it is cer- tainly capable of managing the sa- loon business, as well, if not better, than the church people can do it. It is becoming for the village to use the force of its machinery when neces- sary, and the records of the village show that force is used, and used ef- fectively now and then. A church effort is being made in Hibbing to take the management and regulation of the saloons out of the hands of the village authorities, and it is along the same meddling lines that mark the church’s propensity fcr dipping into things of which it knows nothing. It would be good bil- For pensions more than two millions have been gpent, and for the navy considerably more than a billion.

The saloon man does not interfere with the church—in fact, he never hesitates to help the church when Four billions and a quarter! Put in figures it makes a formidable row— $4,250,000,000.

Nazarene. There is not a man in the saloon business but what possesses the di- vine spark, and it is much more | strongly developed than in some of those who “go to church on a Sun- day,” and many of them are men whose friendship is well worth culti- yating. The saloon, it must ever be remembered, is a licensed institution of this country, and the place for the church to do its deadly work is on the men who make the laws—not on the results of the laws. When the saloon man violates the law he should be punished just the same as any other law-breaker, but he must be given the same law protection that every man, has the right to demand. The churches seem to overlook this. And, in passing, it may be remark- ed that the churches do not refuse the saloon man’s money—it always looks good. The churches, it seems to as, would make a big hit Mm a, righteous and Godly direction if they sought to get the saloon-keeper into the church. The Catholic seems to be the only religious insti- tution that opens its arms to the sa- loon man, and the saloon man and the church are the better for it. Can a saloon-keeper were to enter a Pro- testant church? There would be a holding away of skirts and the at- mosphere would become so frigid that the unfortunate chap would be chillea to death in about a minute, or a minute and a half at the very outside. The way to make the world better is to be just to each other—try to church | 3 you imagine what would happen it|% remedy the bad, if you will, but over- look it, and magnify the good. Noth- ing will ever be gained for the church by trampling.upon.the.rights.of others and sneering at a man’s calling, or his means of gaining bread and’ but- ter for himself and his family—it is the man alone the church has to deal with, and the saloon-keeper’s soul. is just as precipus to the Lord of All as is the soul of the goody-guod church member that has been “sav- ed” and glories in his salvation to the end that he never loses the op- portunity to exclaim, “I am Better than Thou.” than Thou.”’—Mesaba Ore, Hibbing. ea SS A Unclained Letters.
