Democratic leaders and manajcers of candidates' ’ for ^the presidential
nomination by that paity, feel that the Two-Thirds rule governing
nomination is doomed and will be eliminated before the 1928 convention
gets down to business.
Such fact is good news—because the Two-Thirds rule has never been
anything other than destructive.
But it seems some of “the boys” cannot give up the Two-Thirds rule
without playing a bit of politics—or taking advantage of the situation by
injacting a bit of strategy which might be used to present advantage—but
which without doubt would do as much harm in time to come as^the Two-
Third rule has done in the past. r ..
Partisans and boosters .of Gov. A1
Smith of New Yerk have laid down
t * *' -•fi
three major pre-convention lines of
♦ attack. Approval of this strategy has
been given by a number of Democratic
leaders throughout the country. The
best known of these perhaps is Chas.
J. Greathouse, of Indiana, former sec
retary of the National Democratic
Committee. They are: ,
1—Nation-wide campaign against
the two-thirds rule and substituting
majority choice.
2.—Casting of individual viva voce
vote by each delegate, rather than by
State delegation, even thought bound
by unit rule.
8—Elimination of candidates for
office and officeholders as delegates to
the national convention.
Certainly the voters want to fight
the two-third’s fule and for the adop
tion of a majority choice. However,
observe the second line of attack.
/‘Casting of individual viva voce vote
by each delegate, rather than by
State delegation, even tho bound by
unit rule.”
Here is the Jaker.
Serious exception should be taken
to this or, at least, to the unlimited
rale of allowing any delegate to vote
as he sees fit, for this reason:
The great majority of the States
throughout the nation have perferen-
tiai primaries.. That means that the
primary vote is the choice of that
State, and that the detonate so select
ed is instructed thereby to vote for
the StateW prefovntial primary
choice.
; To allow any delegate so instructed
to violate the State’s instructions a>
imposed by the result of the primary
would be tantamount to allowing one
of the electors, chosen to cast the elec
toral vote of the State for president,
to disregard the electoral vote of the
State, and vote for whomsoever lib
PERSONAL wishes dictated.
Incidentally, this would also open
the door to unlimited graft and 'or-
ruption. The State of Wisconsin
Slight semi a ct zen instructed dele
gates who had, by preferential nresi-
' dential primaries to vote, instructed its
dozen delegates to v ite fuv McAdoo
<w Smith or anvon< else, and who
ocuki, by the promise of an anpoint-
- aMD* to political offset-, or n bribe dis
regard their State’." initructi-ui and
.vote for whom ever they pleased, and
.disregard the instruction of the State
.which they were representing, or
s
Adoo into Action
Wm. G. McAdoo swung into the
East last week on private business,
but paused long enough at New York
and Toledo to talk a bit of politics,
declaring himself in favor of abrogu
tion of the two-third rule in Demo
cratic conventions. Also to set in
motion activity in every State for the
organization of dry sentiment.
rather misrepresenting, :>.• selling out.
When Not Instmcted.
Of course the unit rule could be
abolished and perhaps should be
abolished where the 'delegates has
not pledged himself expressly to a
certain candidate in order to receive
the following and support of that
candidate. In such instance he should
l»e allowed to vote for whom he pleases,
but when ever a State instructs him to
vote for 8 certain candidate, it is
nothing short of treason for him to
violate that instruction.
Also, if he has made pledges in a
convention to support a certain candi
date, and the delegates in the state
convention who select him, select him
because of his pledge Jo support cer
tain candidates for president, then, and
in that event, he should not be allow
ed to alter his vote when he arrives
in the National Convention to nomi
nate the Democratic nominee for
President.

Elimination of candidates for office
and officeholders as delegates to the

J
by John Joseph Gate's, M. D.
Stewardship here Includes oneself
and substance. Stewardship in money
Is only a small part of our responsi
bility. This parable like that of the
ten virgins is assbclated with the sec
ond coming of Christ. In both in
stances the unpreparedness for His
coming on the part of the people is
exhibited. In that of the ten virgins
their unreadiness consisted In their
failure of Inward life—absence of the
Holy Ghost In this, of the talents it
consisted in their failure to properly
use the gifts which bad been en
trusted to them. The first was fail
ure to watch; the second was failure
to work. By talents is meant what
ever gifts and powers one possesses
aa gift* from God, wrbether of nature
or grace, such as strength, reason, en
ergy, knowledge. Influence, time,
money, ability to apeak, sing, etc.
1. The Dljtribution of the Talents
(w. 14, 15).
L It was a sovereign act He
called his own servants and distrib
uted to them bis own money. As the
One who created us and absolutely
owns os. He has assigned us our
places and given us our several pow
ers, Intending that we put them to the
best possible use.
2. It was an Intelligent act “Ac
cording to his severs! ability.” The
God who made us knew our ability to
use gifts, therefore has made the dis
tribution upon that basis.
S. It was a purposeful act The
talents were given to be traded with.
They were not given to be used for
one's own gain and profit, but as stock
In trade for the enrichment and glory
of the Master.
II. Tbs Employment of tho Talonts
(vv. 16-18). .
L AH the servants recognised that
the talents were not their own—that
they were responsible to the Lord for
the use mode of them.
2. Two servaMs used their talents.
The fire-talented man pul bis to use
and gained five more. The two-tal
ented man put his to use and gained
two more. This shows that God’s
gifts can be Increased. The exercise
of any gift Increases It The faithful
use of what we have in the place we
are will prepare us for greater useful
ness and honor.
3. The one hid his talent. The fact
that one possesses but one talent
should not discourage him, but should |
make him strhe harder. God does not
reward according to what we possess,
but according to our faithfulness. The
crime of tbe one talented man was
not that he had but one talent, but
that he hid the talent which the Lord
gave him.
III. Tha Accounting for ths Talents
(vv. 19-30).
1. Its certainty. There is a day
coming when we all must give an ac-
2. The time. This will be at the
coming of the Lord. If we have done
well, we shall then have praise. If
we have been unfaithful, we shall then
be cast out from the presence of the
Lord.
3. The Judgments announced.
(1) Reward of the faithful, (a)
Praise—“Well done.” We all like to
be praised. From childhood, on
through life commendation Is pleas
ing. (b) Promotion—“Be thou ruler
over many things.” Promotion Is de
sirable to all. (c) Entrance upon the
Joy o*f the Lord. The five talented
man and ttie two talented man re
ceived the same praise and the same
promotion.
(2) Punishment of the faithless.
The one talented man lied when
brought to account. The talent when
dug up was not the same as when it
was burled—It was not of the same
weight. Gifts unused are lost (a)
Reproach—Bife was called slothful and
wicked. To be called lazy is a re
proach which even the lazy man dis
likes (b) Stripped—the talent which
was given to him was taken from him
(c) Cast out—be was condemned on
his own ground. The very fact that
he knew the character of the Lord
should have been an incentive for him
to have exerted hUnself.
WINTER.D4T SUGGESTIONS.
In days, whan the front door is
kept closed aa much as possible,
and the vdndcws are jealously
guarded,—when ventilation holds
discomfort along with its purifying
influences, I cannot help thinking
' of the increased liability of infec
tion within the winter quarters, of
those who live in the frigid tem
peratures of our northern states.
The dut-door members of our fam
ilies are abroad during the day,
either from choice or necessity.
Being exposed, they “pick up”
colds, bronchial infections, throtft
disturbances febrile in character,
and, certainly communicable. They
bring their complaints nome with
them. Children going to school
are extremely liable to contract
lung or throat diseases, by their
association with groups some of
whom are almost certain to be
carriers of respiratory germs.
Somebody in the family may be
tubercular—a most serious infec
tion.
What I am driving at is, to
avoid the spread of disease in the
home where we spend our even
ings, or should, if we do not I
do not like to hear of colds “go
ing through families,” and I
am convinced that such misfortune
can be prevented by intelligent pre-
cauticn. Under ra circumstance
should expectorated matter be per
mitted to dry within the sijting-
room or bed-room. The handker
chief used by a sufferer should be
thrown in a Vessel of water when
soiled.
'rtten, coughs should be carefully
disciplined; a hard cough will hurl
bacteria ten fe?t. It nay be dead
ly to sit in front of a tubercular
who coughs immoderately without
training for safety. It is just as
easy to dispose of expectorated
matter before it dries, and sickness
may be prevented by kindly res
triction. Try it in your home.
Card of Thanks.

Blackville, wish to express their sin
cere thanks to friends for their kind
xepressions of sympathy during their
