No group of American citizens is
better qualified to interpret and ex
press tlie patriotic thought of the
American people than are the 34
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church, says the Spokane Spokesman
Review. The public will therefore
turn with interest to the address de
livered on their behalf at tho quad
rennial conference of that great
church in DesMoines Sunday Af
firming that foundations are dis
turbed and conditions volcanic the
bishops declare that
Everywhere free institutions
are threatened. The church
must not fail in the effort to
preserve them. We cau not
give sympathy to Bolshevism,
whether of the red mob or the
soft sentimentalist; to anarchy,
whether of the street or the
chair.
Between the radical and the
reactionary; between the an
archist and t lie contender for
special privilege, feudal brutality
and domination of wealth; be
tween radicalism and standpat
ism; between autocracy and
anarchy; between tyranny of
wealth and tyranny of strength,
the church must this day speak
in clear tones and minister to
order and righteousness. Those
who array class against class,
man against man, in any manner
are not friends of society.
On that inspiring platform all the
great Christian denominations of
this country are in full accord. The
sentiments here spoken by the Meth
odist bishops have been affirmed
again and again by the bishops of
the Episcopal church, the high pre
lates of the Catholic church and the
leaders of other denominations.
It could not be otherwise, for
Christianity and class hatred are in
compatible, and the spirirt of Chris
tianity is irrevocably set, as the
Methodist bishops so well express it,
alike against the tyranny of wealth
and the tyranny of strength.

"The Corn-Tlttee of Forty-Eight,"
which is preparing to launch a neiv
political party on a platform that is
a cross between single tax and social
ism, announces that it "represents"
the great masses of the American
people.
Where do these committeemen get
their commissions to represent the
great masses of the American people,
or to represent anyhody, as a matter
of fact, other than themselves? Who
chose them as representatives of pub
lic sentiment? Ordinary political
parties have their machinery for the
election of representatives; they have
primaries and conventions cf the peo
pie at which such representatives are
chosen.
But the Committee of Forty-Eight,
like many other organizations pro
fessing to represent the great body
of the people, is entirely a self consti
tuted and self designated affair: It
may with propriety claim to represent
certain theories or fads in politics,
but it has no warrant for the asser
tion that it represents more than an

But why not let a few of the people,

them, Why not. In these matters,

about and so little practiced bv some

OFF, FLAG
You hear the English boast about
Their famous "Union Jack,"
While Germany and France declare
Their flags are cracker-jacks;
Ami Russia, Spain and Turkey say
Their flag's the grandest flag today.
Hut just one flag Is best, I say,
And that's the flag of the U. S. A.
You see it high above the trees,
The flag that set us free,
Afloating proudly in the breeze,
The queen or land and sea; j
The flag that keeps us brave am.
true.
The flag that we are loyal to,
No matter it it's old or new,
There's only one red, white and blue.
So take your hats off to our flag
That's never known defeat;
Tho' you may travel 'round t lie world j
You'll find it can't be beat;
The world's best flag, a beauty too, j
"Old Glory" we are proud of you.
No matter if It's old or new, I
There's only one red, white and blue, j

that organization has done much and
is still doing much toward advancing
and keeping In the limelight the ad-
vantages St. Helens possesses as a de
sirable home town. The following :
little verse by Rudyard Kipling, sent
to the Mist by a subscriber, about
tells the story. Team work is the
keynote and by team work much can
be accomplished without any great
outlay of funds. The verse follows:
It ain t the guns nor armament, nor
funds that they can pay, !
But the close cooperation that I
makes them win tho h .
It ain't the Individual, nor'the'army
as a whole,
But the everlastln' team work of
