THE SEATTLE STAR Private Bxchange ‘a Ss NONTHWHST SPAREN the United oe By mall, our of lisbed Daily by The Sem Of tremendous interest and importance will be the discussion by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church at Minneap- Olis of the propaganda prepared by a special committee after four years’ consideration. It ts proposed to put this church, with a membership 000, on record for the wage earner, propaganda calls for abolition of child labor, reduction of work ing hours to the lowest practical point, safeguarding of the conditions of toll for women and equitable division of the profits of industry For years this great church has been preaching and praying for some such things as these, but notwithstanding this fact, its con @nce committee says that labor and social conditions have become such that the chureh must formally declare itself and take a prominent part im doing things. Hence, if this representative body of sincere men de- @lares for “equitable division of the profits of industry,” for instance, we may justifiably expect that the church will adopt some novel, direct and practical way for the advance of such propaganda COMPROMISE When man craves progress or reform, he «resorts to preaching, prayer or politics. While many of the good men in that Minneapails| conference may shudder over the mere suggestion of the slightest re: lation of their church with politics, it ts a fact that sacred history dis-| closes several instances wherein the church played politics for the sake ef a cause not one tnch higher than that contained in the propaganda We have outlined above | A colored man, brought before a police judge, charged with |) stealing chickens, pleaded guilty and received sentence, when the Judge asked how it was he managed to lift those chickens right under the window of the owner's house, when there was a dog in the yard. “Hit wouldn't be no use, judge,” said the man, “to try to 'splain dis thing to you ‘tall, Ef you was to try it you, like as not, would git yer hide full o’ shot an’ git no chigtens, muth Ef you wants to engage in any rascality, jedge, yo" betteh stick to de bench, whar yo’ am familiar, NEARLY 400 women will be candidates for office in Kansas at the August primaries.
