ANOTHER MENNONITE MIGRATION.

Th.e Mi.irior.i; lcr. au lost faith in th - justice of war. and instituted a r. iu' i! to t.cht, early in the-!r history, observing the manner ii.'ttr which wart)rr.H Ma1s are so frequently repudiated and abused. They have iccordln'y iie lined to become parties l participation in such conflicts. It :s one of the UäU tf thAir faith that Jtntioe th hindma.l

Tb.e Menn "'nite--. -o the Canadian story Roes, ar-3 n' KotiatinLt f r r th jurchase of 171, 000 acrps of lind 'n whieh they pr'posf to establish farm-3. Ath re-'slt oi an inveTijr;.tion of the plan by the it.tfe immitrration d-j.artment. Gov. Hurnuist his extended the Menr.or.it a hearty invitation to maka Minnesota th1r home, xpectintr that if the United States lias a lone period of peace they will com to be looked upon, despite their refusal to participate in the affairs of the government, n fairly ko1 citizen'. In iew of the'r prompt payment of taxes and th-ir obedienee to the laws, their unwillingness to hav anythinsr to do witli the courts, to hold ofTlc-?. r to serve in the militia, probably will be overlooked. They are thrifty, industrious folk, and no doubt will m.-k- th-.- wilderness where they propes-j to kittle blossom likr- the ros--. Let wnr break rut. however, and there is not much reason to believe that the attitude, of the Minnesota people toward the Mennonltes will be different from that of the Canadians. Ior the Mennonltes are of the most extreme type of conscientious objectors to war. They will not t'.pht under any r.rovoeatlon. Ilnther than bear arms they will undergo imprisonment or even torture. This has been demonstrated repeatedly during the four centuries of their history. Their pacifism has been the cause of their numerous migration. They have been persecuted Vi every century and in nearly every country' in which they have sought refuge. One or two leaders, notably Napoleon, thought it best to Krant them Immunity from compulsory service. The United State adopted during the war what waH probably the best plan for dealing: with these people. The Mennonltes and all ether conscientious objectors who were drafted were offered tho opportunity to engage in non-combatant military service, and if they refused even to wear tho uniform wer)

Kiven a further (hance to nerve the country by working on farm.s for the pay of a private In the army, the remainder of the waffes allowed them by the farmers employing them poing to the government. But this system was objected to by many Americans as beins too penerous. Not until the problem of the conscientious objector has been solved to the satisfaction of all concerned will the Mennonites be assured of freedom from hostility. And one way to wolve it will be for peoples when they co to war, to remain steadfast as to the principle for which they fousht, after the war is over. Minnesota. In the recent election, like a score and more of other states, repudiated all our war claims, thus confirming what the Mennonltes aFertcd when they refused to fight. Credit the Mennonltes with beintr honest, and consistent, at hast. Their faith in sufficiently quieting to render them free from the actions and reactions of hysteria. o EFFICIENCY IN POSTAL SERVICE. Only tho most partisan citizens will fall into line with the suggestion that large numbers of postmasters, now under civil service rules, he removed to make room for political appointments. It may ho true, as has been charged, that Pres't "Wilson's zeal for the civil service became acute after the best offices had been filled by democrats, but nothing- is to be gained by receding in the effort to take the postal service out of politic. Advocates of the merit system in the postal service have had a long, hard tight to reach even the present degree cf recognition of the principle of civil service. The spoils system has never mad? for efficiency in the public service, and there is no reason to believo that the change from one party to another will Justify using the postal service as a means of rewarding political workere. The public wants efficiency in the post office department, and it is not greatly interested in the political affiliations of th postmasters or the persons working under them. Congress should take the action necessary to bring about an improvement in the postal service, such as increasing tho pay of employes to attract better workers and retain thocfl most capable. Postmaster. should be business men, not politicians or persons who seek the position as reward for political service alone. Xo postmaster should bo permitted to rf tain his ofhee if he s required to look to his subordinates for the ability required to run the offie in a buslnf ?-!lke .nw-nner. o THE ANNAPOLIS HAZING. More is involved In the situation at the United States naval academy at Annapolis, where wholesale -xrnilsion of rnidshijmen is threatened becauao of hazing, than a mere question of whether or not rough treatment of the lower classmen is to bs stopped. More important is the question if discipline is to be maintained. While something- may, perhaps, be said In favor

of having a little fun at the newcomers' expense, provided they are done no Injury, hazing as it has usually been conducted at the academy and at many collegts Is indefensible. Hut beside the point of the present discussion is the question of whether or not the practice Is harmful. Strict instructions that hizing was to stop were ierued by the secretary of the navy. Whether or not that was a good order was not for the midshipmen to ask. It was their duty to obey. As candidate? for commissions as naval officers they themselves will be called upon some day to issue orders and they, too. will demund implicit obedience. Indispensiblc though it is in th navy discipline cannot be enforced unless there Is unquestioned obedience of order.. Will the midshipmen be fit to govern and give orders to others if they themselves have not learned the lesson of obedience to Iheir superior officers '. o The naaji who gets his only exercise- by patting himpvlf on the back will never grow In favor with hin neighbors. o There is evidence that fnme of the southern

night riders filled vi with gin before they went out I to burn cortnn gins. c

TWO SISTERS. Once upon a time, there wer two sisters. One was named Eleanor and the other Alice. Eb-aaor was studious, thrifty and careful. She had nearly all the virtues. Alice was lazy, shiftless and extravagant. She f-eemed to lack all of the virtuc-i. Eleanor graduated v.-ith all thhonom Her teachers were proud of her. Alice diet not graduate at all. In fact, she ran awaj' ro;ii school and went into the chorus. At twenty-two. Eleanor became assistant teacher of higher mathematics in a girls' school. At twenty, Alice was leading a rather wild life of ease. "When Eleanor was twenty-five, she "became teacher of higher mathematics in the girls' school and received tho laro Hilary of $2,000. When Ailce was twenty-four, she becamo a "movie" actress and was making around $4 0,ooa.e.o a year. She still led a life of oas:e. Both girls were born in Xenia. Ohio.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. '21. Contending forces rule this day, acconling te the astrological prognostications. While the planets bearing rule over the social, domestic, romantic and progressive concerns of life are in auspicious places for pleaxant and pre.-p -rents conditions, other testimonie s point to thwarted ambitions and uncertain cer.clusions. Tb.e danger se-ems to

which may lead to the k.w courts by way of re-dress, it may be well to avoid all new enterprises, and to handle- all commercial trmsactions with considerable caution. Also papers, documents, writings and Publishings should be signed with care, as there is a double presage of mis-repr's-ntati('n or duplicity.
