A Congressman for Peace

A Congressman for Peace.—Representative Bartholdt of Missouri is pushing through Congress a joint resolution for the creation of an international federation, which will appoint a commission to consist of five members, to be appointed by the President of the United States, in order to bring about the organization of an international court, this court to determine by decree all controversies between nations, and to be able to enforce the execution of its decrees by arms, controlled solely by it. That sounds good, but it can never be effective in this belligerent old world. The New York "World," in a news item from Atlanta, March 31, quotes an invitation sent out by a Christian church as follows: "Dear Brother: You are cordially invited to attend a prize fight at Western Heights Baptist Church Monday night, April 4, at 8 o'clock. Be sure to bring this card for admittance." The item needs no comment. God has given us one way of attracting men, and that is the lifting up of Jesus Christ. Our correspondent at Omaha, Nebraska, Mr. L. A. Spring, writes that Lincoln is now the largest city in the United States having no saloon by its own volition or choice. Monday, March 7, there was a second election over the liquor question, and an increased majority was given for a dry town. Good. We wish that every city in the land would follow Lincoln's example.
