Address ing Lutherans in Omaha, Pays Tribute to Founder of Church. “Home and church are the two greatest blessings we get from life," said Governor J. A. O. Preus of Min nesota. addressing a Lutheran audi ence that crowded the Brandcis the ater Sunday night. “Russia, which is now making the second great experiment in govern ment since the time of Luther, has disfranchised the ministry and abol ished marriage. The latter it has done in a diabolical manner. All you need to do now to marry in Russia is to register. And when you want a divorce you just go to the same ofilce and register yourself a divorce. “The Russians also have destroyed private property. Before I was mar ried I didn’t believe much in private property. By the end of each month I had managed to ’distribute' my own property earned in the previous month. After I got married I still didn’t care much, because I had life Insurance. We wanted still more of a family, ami three years ago, after we had sat around waiting for 12 years, we got a lioy and now. I tell you. private property looks very im portant to me. "Martin Luther did more to give us our parliamentary system of lawmak ing than any other man in the world's history. Rev. O.
