Lutheran Church 'Notes By Rev C. R. Lowe. The pastor was absent last week on the work of the Brotherhood Be nevolence campaign, returning last Saturday. The trip was a pleasure for we met somo friends in former pastorates. The desire on their part was that wo make them a visit, but that was out of the question. It was a purely business trip and we. hurried from one congregation to an other. The congregatiqns without a pastor feel they ore not in shape to go ahead with the work of the benev olence campaign, while those which have a pastor are in a good spiritfor it. A church without a pastor is un fortunate. , Lost Monday wo spent getting the shipment of clothing off to Poland. Ther.o was an even '300 pounds of 'it. It was gathered at the home of Mr. George Bates and there, it was pack ed. The exprcssago to New York was $14.38. The pastor was given 77.25 for the expressage and the rest for the fund that was to go with the shipment. The receipt for the" same will be forthcoming, or at least f a voucher will be with us to receipt the amount. "' The ladies' aid will meet this Thursday at the home of dhe pastor 'at Dakota City. We ore lookincfor a good day. The ladies alwayshave a good time',,when they 'goftogetTtcjFjf and the men would have as "good- a' nine ix nicy wuuiu get lue uior, miy Wish they would .do that.

It is hoped that a goodly ntan her of jthe ladles and their friends Will be at the meeting. We make a specialty of being sociable. Our people will be interested to know that the benevolence quota as signed to us is 5303.00. If we come through with the doubling of tht part for the general boards which we expect to do our total sum will be 513.00. The 93 assigned to us for the state work is not to be doubled. It is hoped that the Brotherhood Campaign literature will be here soon. We hove written for it. It is at Ponca in the hands of the over., seer of a number of churches in this part of the state, but it seems the Rev. Mardhn has not sent It out yet. We may have to go up and get it, and see if it has got out to the oth er churches in his district. No disaster too big for Red Cross.

' If a canvass of tho counties ia th2 Thirteenth district were mado to discover a man especially equipped to represent the district worthily in the coming constitutional conven tion, one. could not be found better qualified in every way than Harry L Keefe, who is a candidate for elect ion.to that vastly important body. To say that ho would represent the district would express only a half truth for he would do more. With, his well-known ability ,and experi ence, his fine legal training, nis keen foresight . and initiative, and his. broad public spirited, attitude, ho would rank With tho ablest .in tho convention and become an important factor in drafting the new document: so that Tic would truly champion Jhe interests of the entire part of tho state which aro identical with and similar to. those of his district. Mr. Keefo's fearless and agtrressUt attitude, when occasion requires, is commoa knowledge over tho countv. and outside for that matter, among thoso who remember his strenuous activity as activo head of the Coun cil of Defense during tho war. IIss independence of 'bias by any Individ ual, interest or organization, in mat ters of p'ublic welfare, Is equally true and those who know Mr. (Kcef9 inti mately will testify to hi's liberality of view and progressive attitude on public questions. At tho same time Mr. Kcefo hoa an amiable personality and 'n rare skill of diplomatic action which hu prefers to use, If possible, and bv it usually gains tho larger point while seeming to yeld on non-essentials. Mr. Keefe has never been afflicted by political ambition, nor permitted himself to ho lured by tho somewhat empty honor of election to ofTico, though ho has been importuned a number of tjmes to become a candi date. His willingness to become u member of tho constitutional conven tion is not prompted by any such con sideration and certainly tho remuner ation is no temptation to lay aside temporarily his private business which Is moro lucrative. If tho Times rightly understandb Mr. Keefe, after many years of per sonal acquaintance, it is convinced that ho regards the convention as n commission, non-political, non-partisan, for a high task of fundamental and far reaching gravity which call for tho ablest thought, a thorough understanding of tho problems, the weaknesses of tho old, and the needs of tho future, and above all a depend able fidelity to a high trust, in frank ing what is to become tho fundamen tal law of the state; and for that reason alone ho is willing to endeav or, and even desirous of performing o worth-while service. If the voters of tho thirteenth dis trict nro conscious of tho important work of tho convention and tho need of a delegate who will represent thoir interests constructively and evident ly, thoy will consider It a good for tune that a man of Mr. Kcofe's in tegrity and abllity&has volunteered to serve then, J i wIUi the respon and hatreds and V.4 &"-C ITEMS OF STATE-WIDE INTEREST It. W. Devoe, chairman of the Re publican State Central Committee, has issued the following coll from tho state headquarters, suite 420 Bankers Lifo Building, Lincoln, to the republican women of Nebraska, througK the county nnd precinct com mitteemen of tho state. "The Republican Vfomen of your precinct aro hereby called to meet in caucus on November 11, 1919, at 2 p. m for the purpose of electing a precinct committeewomon who will serve as a member of tho precinct committee until tho primary elect ion is held in April, 1920, or until her successor is elected. "Pursuant to this call you aro here by requested to give notice of the time and place for holding such cau cus in your precinct. Wide publi city of this meeting should bo given by you through every agency possiblo to tho end that a full representation of republican women may bo present and preside over such caucus, as tho official representative of' tho party in your precinct as now constituted. None' but Republican women shall bo entitled to cast a ballot at 'the cau cus. Kindly report tho results of tho caucus to the Chairman of tho County Central Committee and olso to tho undersigned, tho Chairman of tho Republican State Central Com mittee. "In full confidence that this im portant matter intrusted to yourcaro will bo faithfully executed by you, 1 bog to remain, Yours truly, It. W. DEVOB," Under a comprehensive plan of re organization of tho Republican party, worked out by Chairman Dovoo, which contemplates the inclusion of tho Republican women, and of which this call to the precincts is the first step, men and women will servo side by side on the precinct, county and state committees; and together will evolVo plans and policies In comploto co-operation throughout the state. After the precinct organization is formed by tho election of a precinct committeewomon from each precinct, tho precinct committee women will convene ot tho county soot for tho purpose of effecting representation oi tho women on tho county committees. Representation on the District and Stato Committees will in turn bo ef fected by the women themselves to the end that they will fully partici pate in tho dictation and manage ment of the airolrs of tho party. This Is tho first call issued by any political part in Nebraska to tho women to assumo their responsibil ity as voters and to participate in tho political Ufa and leadership of their party. This is in accord with tho record of tho Republican party's and its attitude on tho question of according to tho women eaual rights of citizenship. It took o Republican congress to pass tho sulfrage amend mnt. ior eight years a democratic congress talked about It and dlu nothing. Within two weeks oftor the return of Renuhllrnn rnnt.rnl thn amendment was taken up, and ninety --:- -r.v-vrr.TV", i per cent of tho Republicans of the house voted for it and sovcnty-nln'o per cent of tho democrats voted against It. Eighty-six per cent of the Republicans of tho sonato voted for tho amendment and forty-six per cont of tho democrats voted against It. lhe nrst legislatures to ratify tho amendment were Republican, and among these Nebraska's Republican legislature, voiced tho sentiment ot tho peoplo of our state in early rati fication. Republican sentiment for suffrage has been growing through tho years, as rill suffrage workers at test, which culminated In tho sub mission of tho amendment in 1919 by o Republican congress. Republican men and women aro now working and hoping for comploto' ratification of tho federal amendment for full suf frage In tho near future. It is to be hopod that a splondid response to this coll will bo made by tho Republican women in every pre cinct in the state. Tho eacrerness with which women aro Informing incmseivcs upon air manors otiect od by thoir vote is indicativo of their interest in tho work beforo them. Tho Republican party, as reorganized 10 mciui u women, will contlnuo its const) uci vn program, enacting prac tical lc ..(tion in both state and nation.
