CREEDS AND THE WAR.
It has been in mind for some time
to say something pertaining to the
war in relation to creeds not with a
view of discussing the relative merits
or demerits of various beliefs, but
with the idea that the war would
bring closer together those of all the
creeds, for in this day and age there }
are few who deep down, do not believe '
in a supreme being, but who naturally i
question the theories of the hide- !
bound that a man is going to heaven
or hell, according to what creed he
embrai About the best comment
we have seen on the subject, occurs
in a recent issue of llridgeport Life,
from which we quote an exerpt, as
follows :
"t) many gods, so many creeds
So many paths that wind and wind
When just the art of being kind
1 - all I lie sail w orld needs."
Perhaps tin biggest thing that has
come out of the war has been the
merging of creeds and dogmas into
the one big issue "WinI" Soldiers
are forgetting whether their comrades
not as Jew and Gentile. Catholic or
Protestants, but they are remember
ing that they are free men lighting
not at Jew and Gentile. Catholic or
Protestant, but for enslaved human
beings.
Mary Hoyle O’Reilly, war corres
pondent and nurse, brave daughter of
a brave father, while speaking in the
States on her experiences abroad
related the story of a strictly orthodox
Church of England woman who had
lied to the nearest church cellar for '
protection during a London air raid.
Her dismay when she found that her
place of refuge was a Catholic church
cellar, was almost tragic. As the
evening wore on. however, and the
tedious wait was relieved by tea and
cakes, she began to feel less uneasy
about her surroundings.
"Hut." to quote Miss O'lleilly, "lie
fore tile siren sounded 'nil's safe' she ;
was convinced that she perhaps had >
been narrow minded and unnecessar
ily hidebound in her religious beliefs. ’
Why,' she said to me Inter. I don't :
know but that Catholics are as good
as Protestants, anyway. And.’ she 1
added, naively, 'that tea and those
cakes were certainly as good as our
minister’s wife makes!’ Which was
high praise indeed, from the lady." 1
The workers for those noble organ
izations. the lied Cross. Y. M. C. A.,
Y M II. A., and K. of ('.. do not ask
a man what his religion is. If ques
tioning is done at all it is: "What do
you need? What more can we do for
you ?"
And so. even as the gorgeous but
terfly comes from the lowly worm, a
true religion, an amalgamation of all i
doctrines, embracing all peoples a
religion of humanity - will spring forth i
from the Great War
Creeds will be forgotten, dogmas
set aside, the baptism of blood will ;
make all brothers in the full meaning
of the word. i
Truly. "One touch of nature makes
the whole world kin."

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH TABOO.
According to a recent edict Penn
sylvania Dutch patois, which is a
combination of German. English,
Dutch. Welsh and even Gaelic, is about
to become a thing of the past and to '
be relegated to the scrap heap, and
that notwithstanding the fact that 1
from that state more than ten thous
and of those who speak this dialect,
are lighting for the allies. In com
menting on the subject Town Topics 1
says:
"Word has gone forth from among
the Pennsylvania Dutch that I! Is no
longer patriotic to speak their un i
melodious dialect and that the speech
of their childhood, of their home as
soolations and of their forefathers is
to he supplanted by English, as more
in keeping with their sentiments of
American patriotism. The Pennsyl
vania Dutch are supposed to he de
scended from those German disciples
of Simon Menno who sought refuge
In America in ante-revolutionary days,
in order to escape military service,
which their creed forbade, as an un
lawful calling. Under the circum
stances, it is worthy of note that the
Pennsylvania Dutch of today, the de
scendents of these hard-shell Teuton
pacifists of the Menno cult, have been
so stirred to military ardor, by their
love for what has become their native
land that they have actually sent
over more than 10,000 of their num
ber to tight for the Stars and Stripes
and for the cause of the allies in
France.

THE CAMPAIGN IN NEVADA.
There is a gubernatorial campaign
in Nevada this year in which the con
testants are Emmett D. Hoyle, the
present incumbent, a Democrat, but
a good fellow, and a good governor
notwithstanding, and Tasker I,. Oddie,
former governor.
There seems to he little difference
in the platforms or pledges of either,
hut no matter who is elected, irrespec
tive of any possible' federal rulings,
it is apparent that the slate is going
Iry. for both candidates are pledged
to support any prohibition measure
the legislature may enact, and besides,
the women will have a lot to say in
the hattlehorn state, this year.
It does not take a great many votes
in Nevada to win an election and
post of the lighting men are in the
<haki.
Nevada dry! Shades of Hret Hart,
Mark Twain and Dan Detjuiile. not
o mention Hank Monk, anil the rest
if the boys who used to drive over
the Geiger grade. Gan you see that
tang around the Arlington hotel in
'arson, along Front and Virginia
streets in Reno, and later at the old
Northern in Goldfield and Ely, and
he Mizpah sit Tonopah’.’ Their com
tosite thorax may be si rid if the pres
■nt majority have their way. hut the
-tiling cannot affect the bigness of
hose Nevada hearts, and the only el
ect it will have on the native or i in -
iiirted vernacular will be to make it
pore picturesque.

THE OLD COUNTRY FOR THEM.
The records of the local exemption
ward disclose the fact that several
lersons of alien birth, who hud taken
mt their first papers and declared
heir intention to become citizens of
ho United States, appeared before j
he board and expressed a desire to '
■enounce their first papers; thoy do I
tot desire to become citizens of this ]
■ountry. Of course, the reason is ob
vious. They desire to escape military
lervice. Nothing was left for the
inard to do, in the circumstances, but
o yield to their request. Under a
■eeent law passed by the congress,
:hese people are forever barred from
lemming citizens of the United States
tVell and good, but that is not enough,
rtiey should lie sent to the country
rum whence they came without un
lue delay, llv their own willful acts,
hey have destroyed their usefulness
n this country. This is a big country,
mt it is too small to harbor those who
n the hour of trial fail to respond
o the call of tile colors. And if
my of these men are employes of the
tovernment railway project, they
ihould resign or get kicked out of
■mployment. None of Uncle Sam's
food money should go to feed those
vho are found wanting. It is the old
■ountry for them, and the sooner the
letter. Anchorage Times.
