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. The serv
ing committee ore Mrs. Clay Arm
bright, Mrs., L$3;W' Armbright, Miss
Dolly Blessing and Mrs. E. H. Grib
ble. 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.

AN EXCEPTIONAL CANDIDATE
(From the Walthill Times). '
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,

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.
