THURSDAY, MARCH 22, i9G0. !
REV. SHELDO.VS NEWSPAPER.
Uev. Charles M. Sheldon, lii^
(
author of, in lii-Steps, and similar
hooks "with a purpose," which
- - ' > 1.4
have attained viue nn-iiuun'ii
I
and gained lor the writer some'
sort of celerity, has assumed
chargeof the Topeka Capital, a
i
Kansas daily newspaper, to puit
it for one week along the lines'
that he thinks Jesus would pur- j
sue in similar circumstances.
From, all accounts Mr. Sheldon lias
not lonnd journalism the soft
thing he anticipate3, and lie i> .
about as much out of place as editor.
probably, as a newspaper
man without theological training j
would be in tlie pulpit. We have
read several of Mr. Sheldon's pub-.
lications.ami while it is evident!
that the author w sincere in bisj
writing, it seems to us tlvut his
kl eas are vision a ry> and in some
instances, dangerously near so-'
eialistic. At any rate, the argument
he advances in the "Cruci-;
iixion of Philip Strong,'' that in i
the sight ol God the negro is asj
good as^ the while man, and for '
t hat reason should not be excluded!
from membership in white church-;
j
es, will not go in South Carolina,.j
however much his readers agree l
I
with Iiim in his other teachings, j
I
This is a dav of agitation and'
*
reform. Just where the reformer j
becomes the demagogue, ami his j
inllueuce baneful instead ol bene-tidal,
is da Hi c u 11 to determine.!
And yet it is- no new thing, these j
religious reformers. FtMer, the j
Hermit, and Martin Luther were!
both religious agitators; the one
doing harta and the other taking
place as the most illustrious man \
of his age in the religious world I
t
Whether Mr. Shelden's vie.vs will
work, permanent good is cj.ues-1
. nonubie. At all eveuts, he will I
i
no doubt find that his field ol
grcaiest good does not include the
.-ditiiig of a daily newspaper iti
die dawning oi the twentieth eent
in y.

He Turned the Tables.
Sometimes a practical joke is a (treat

trove a boomerang. Harry Pratt, a rc-1

ur'icd toe tables cu hovrtal political 1
riends who bad put up a little game on
ii:n. Pratt i? very popular in bis dis-1
rict and takes but slight interest in i
lolitics. Wishing to have hi* assistance
u tbo local light several of the workers
ipproached him at different times and
tskocj for hi* appearance i:i behalf of
heir candidate. As Pratt had refused
o attend any of thnir meetings these
r.terprisicg politicians got npali'tlu
icheme which they ligured would he a
uccess. A meeting was hilled for a ct-ram
town, eeveral speakers were enlaced
to give their views and I'ratt was :
uvited down to report the affair. Ariviug
at the place he was ushered into .
ho hall and given a prominent place on
he stage. After tiio speakers had mado
i strong pica for the candidate iu quen
icn tho chairman of the meeting antoauced
in faltering terms that Mr
Pratt would give his views on tho issue.
I'ho schemers thus thought that, put on
lis mettle, i'ratt would at least make a
cw remarks for their man. The scribe

ousternatioa of tho wily workers. J
rose and commenced a glowing eulogy

peaking in this strain until the uproar
