HOPE, NORTH DAKOTA //////////////////////////////,////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////,/////////////////////////V/// INTER-CHURCH WORLD PUN The Interchurch World Movement was organized for the purpose of co operation. It is a grouping of mis sionary, educational, and philan thropic organizations within the sev eral communions and denomination al and of allied interdenominational agencies. It jprovides opportunity for the organizations to group them selves for mutual benefit, study one another's problems and literature, and actually do something together, for example, conduct a united pub licity and financial campaign. The first call for a conference on this important idea was made in 1918 and the plan met with such instant approval that an organiza tion was quickly perfected and the work is now being developed rapidly all over the United States. This county is to take a part in the work at the conference which will be held in the Methodist Church in Hope on Friday, April 9th. Religion is prescribed as a cure for Bolshevism, as well as for most of the world's other present day ills by leaders in every walk of Ameri can life. Presidential candidates, cabinet members, senators, congressmen, la bor leaders, university presidents, governors, mayors and prominent business men all agree that in order to bring a return of right living and sound thinking and to check the dan- anew one.

NORTH DAKOTA faints '///////////, •///.'/////// ///.'///////,/, v. gerous social and economic tenden cies of the times, we must have a revival of the spirit of Christianity, or, as some express it, a spiritual revival. Attention was first called to the idea that anything as old-fashioned as religion might be the solution of a problem as new-fangled as Bolshe vism by some London correspondents in the financial columns of a New York newspaper. The correspondent declared that "hardheaded business men" in England were looking eith er to strong governmental supres slon or to a "genuine revival of re ligion" aa the best hope of checking the Bolshevist spirit of the times. This statement seemed so signi ficant that S. Earl Taylor, General Secretary of the Interchurch World Movement, the organization that represents 30 co-operating Protest ant denominations, with some 30, 000,000 members and adherents, thought it worth bringing to the no tice of a number of representatives throughout the country. The replies received show an ex traordinary unanimity of belief that in the words of an American "hard headed business man," Charles M. Schab, "in a strong religious senti ment lies the firmest foundation tor the preservation of our civilization." This opinion is shared by E. H. Gary, President of the U. S. Steel Corporation, who believes that a "genuine religious campaign is of the highest importance in combat ing the Bolshevist spirit." Frank A. Vanderlop prefers the phrase "spiritual revival" to "religious re vival", for he feels that "it is not so much a matter of people accent ing the tenets of denominational churches as it is the genuine funda mental spiritual awakening that we need." Politically at the .opposite pole from Mr. Gary, William J. Foster, of the National Committee for Organ izing Iron and Steel workers, agrees with him in the fundamental pro position, with the proviso that "if the churches will get back to their primitive position of defending the interests of the weak, if they will become active and see to it that some degree of industrial justice'is set up in this country—as there seems a strong tendency on their part to do—I think they may be of great service." William Jennings Bryan is em phatic. "I have long since," he says, "reached the conclusion that the teachings of Christ furnish not solution but the ONLY solution of the world's difficulties, and would like to see the church realize more fully the strength of the commis sion which it holds." Fred Husome was up from Fargo Monday, and on returning was ac companied by Mrs. Husome and daughter, Winnifred. Fargo will be the future home of the Husome fam ily.

INTERESTING HAPPEMNfiS AT THE STATE CAPITAL Thomas Hennessey, of Bottineau, who has lately been named warden of the state penitentiary to succeet Charles McDonald of Mandan who forcibly resigned, is eminently qual ified to hold the position under the Townley-Frazier autocracy. McDonald was altogether too friend ly with Bill Langer. The story goes that a henchman of the League call ed on McDonald and asked for his resignation as warden of the pen. The next day a noted politician of North Dakota and Alaska (without mentioning any names) called on McDonald and asked McDonald if he could't go over into Morton coun ty and lick Langer. "I can't," the bird tells us McDon ald said. "Why not?" the N. P. of N. D. and A. asked him. "Because Langer is stronger over there than I am for one reason he's a friend of mine for a second reason and in the third place you can go to (Nome or somewhere else)," McDonald told him. Then McDonald was really asked for his resignation. Hennessey is well qualified. Not very long ago he was convicted for assult and paid a stiff fine. He is at the present time sheriff of Bottineau county elected by Town ley dictation. And last but not least he had the fundamental qualifications—he is a socialist. He ran for the state leg islature in 1914 on the socialist tick et (the last year socialists were so cialists and before they changed the title to Nonpartisan) and as a social ist got 281 votes out of a total of 2,500 in the county. Then too he is a great friend of F. W. Cathro's, the twelve thousand dollar and all expense director gen eral of the State Bank of Townley ota. An article by James E. Boyle at one time connected with the Univer sity of Grand Forks appears in the current issue in "The Nations' Busi ness" published 'at Washington, D. C., with the caption "The Drive A gainst Big Biz". This article deals with the Nonpartisan League and reads in part as follows: "Jail for Liars: One of our com edians made a decided hit not many years ago with a comedy in which he told nothing but the truth. The results were appalling. Our liars took a great, deal of comfort from that play—it was a vindication. It made them break out in a virtuous glow. It convinced them that they had rights. "And now comes along North Da kota with a sinister and direct at tack against this ancient human fail ing. "Three state officials turned a gainst the Nonpartisan League. They said things about that powerful or ganization. The Nonpartisan Lea gue legislature became duly indig nant and, to put its displeasures imo action, passed a liar law. It pro vided that any state official who lied about the league could be im prisoned for one year. And there is a smelling committee to watch for slips." Other phases of North Dakota's interesting experiment are brought out by Mr. Boyle. He is especially fitted for an unbiased analysis of the League's accomplishments by study that began by inception of this remarkable organization. Mandan Friends Give Banquet f°r Next Governor of N. D. "We do not need McLauring of North Carolina, Walter Thomas Mills of New Zealand, Roylance of Utah, Eugene V. Debs or Bill Hay wood of the federal penitentiary or any other imported socialist to tell us how to run our state of North Dakota. There are men in this au dience, lots of men in Mandan there are plenty of men right over there in the ailroad shops who are capable of holding offices over in Bismarck and running this state men who are honest and sincere, men who stand for justice and right men who shoot square and are not socialists," said Attorney General Langer last evening in his brief talk at the tes timonial banquet tendered him by Mandan citizens as a meterial evi dence of their good will and back ing him in his race for Governor, and of their appreciation of his fight ..-is:...

"It is not for we lawyers to criti cize the supreme court of North Da kota. Yet the supreme court, or three majority members in it, said that Langer was wrong in the Scan dinavian American Bank affair. But twelve men in a jury convicted Pres. H. J. Hagen of the bank and found Langer was right. There is a high er tribunal than the supreme court and that tribunal will render its decision in June. Langer has been standing for law enforcement, for a clean state, and it was Langer who fought and fought the hardest when the socialists would destroy the san ctity of the marriage relations and home relations.

Judge Hanley called first upon Judge S. L.

He recalled the fight Langer made against his Democrat is opponent in the general election on the platform of law enforcement. "Hill Langer had the courage of his convictions.
