C., APRIL U>, 1P07. g\ Bishop Turtter is again ranting! upon the alleged discriminations; against the negro. His attack is upon the courts and legislature. Ifei closed his harangue thus: "There! has l>een enough innocent negro blood spilled to drown Congress, the! Supreme Court and the President." j And such rabid rantings will not help matters one whit, parson Tur- j ner. Your mouth is too hig, any way. # * * The gamblers of Savannah are getting a good, health-irivimr treat mint. They are no longer allowed1 to pay a fine and go free. They are being sent to the chaingang.-i That's the way to give it to theni. The same thing ought to he done with the violators of the liquor laws. Let such individuals learn that the few dollars' fine will not do, hut that the chuingang is ahead of one 1 convicted of selling whiskey and of gambling. This will go far to put 1 an end to such lawlessness. ^ * * Kditor Bok, of the Ladies' Home .Journal, conies out in tin editorial in the April number of this maga- J zinc in which he strongly condemns! the "comic supplement" of the, day. His condemnations are logic- ( ally sustained. There is no doubtI of the fact that such distorted art(?) , exerts an evil influence upon the j child's mind. The sham, vulgarity j and, often, the blasphemy in the' average Sunday "funny" paper is! nauseating and disgusting. And it is especially harmful for children; for the reason that they are at the ' age most easily influenced for good! or evil. I * * No sir, Mr. John Temple Graves, wo do not want Mr. Roosevelt nom-, inated for a third term by Mr. Bryan. Let the republicans paddle i their own l>oat. If Mr. Roosevelt is no longer a republican let him come over into the democratic', ranks and , help us to elect Mr. Bryan. Mr. j Roosevelt is a right good sort of man, almost good enough to l>e a democrat. I^et him come to l>e not only almost, hut altogether. ifeisadvo-( eating many of the reforms advocated by the democrats, especially^ democrats like Mr. Bryan. T^et him change; his name now and we will " have still greater respect for him. " RESULT OF SUNDAY LAW The quiet which prevails upon our | streets on Sundays now is quite.! noticeable. The Sunday selling is | not any when- in evidence. We have always felt that there would he little, if any, opposition to the enforcement of the law against Sunday selling. The merchants and clerks are only too glad to have one day in the week to spend at home with their families. We venture the assertion that there will Is* no falling on in the aggregate weekly sales on account of the enforcement of the law. If a man is in a business that will not succeed when earnestly ami honestly worked for six days every week he had Iwtter get out of it and got into something else. \ f i. - . > ' " MUCH WHISKEY AND LAWLESSNESS, a ' - < * t 4 V It is commonly reported that; 1 there in a most deplorable state of i affairs at Herl>erts, just this side of i Bnxid river, and on the Union coun- ? ty side, caused l?y the illegal sale of , i whiskey. Every day, Sunday in- 1 eluded, drunkenness and gambling j t are said to l?e going on at a great i rate. We are glad our city officers i ami sheriff are showing such inter- i est in suppressing these conditions 1 ;ln and around Union. We hope i the proper officers will pay their res-, ( pects to IIerl>crts. I ? } THE PEACE CONFERENCE. i i The National Peace Conference, ] being held this week in Carnegie j < Hall, New York city, is a meeting1 of more than passing interest. Ft is an assembly that is calculated to Ik? I of far-reaching influence for good. 1 It will find its larger benefit as it ; 1 semjji its representatives to the Inter-11 national Peace Congress which is I: soon to l>e held at The Hague. Sure- t ly the best day of the world's h's- 1 torv is approaching. The spirit of fraternity and good fellowship is | widening out to the remotest corners of the earth. It is well that this .movement is taking such strong hold upfm the nations. It has come ] al>oht>fwJth the improved methods of destruction that when two great j nations now go to war it means al- < most annihilation for one or both. J This movement towards universal < peace, this effort to arbitrate the j matters upon which nations disagree ' is bom in ncr-iMwilv \vi?ll sis in common sense. (irenter and yet i greater will I?e the intluenee of the1 , movement. Is the milleniuni dawning? Let us hope so, at any rate. \ ____1 CHILDREN AND TREES. i The President of the United States; ^ believes in children and in trees. I Said he: "A people without child-j , ren would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as j1 hopeless." This was said in his A "Arbor day" speech to the school' children of the United States recent-. ly. While this is an overstatement of fact, it vS yet a graphic way of emphasizing the Value of trees. ^ The enormous waste of our trees ! I which is almost everywhere appar-1 j ent is a cause for serious reflection. . A friend of ours recently made a. trim to Oklahoma with a view to settling there. He drew hack after personal investigation on the grounds ' that it|was "a country without trees ' and without traditions." rni - 1_ ?i * i i jus mases a preuy sad condition of affairs to our mind. We like the traditions and we like the trees. I^et us encourage our children to Ixi interested in the preservation of all | trees. j TAINTED MONEY. In a recent sjx;ech delivered in Washington Hon. William Jennings Bryan paid his respects to ''tainted money.'' Among other things he said: "One of our men lists reached a point \Vh?re he sometimes finds it difficult *t? find people to take his money.* And that 1 regard, as .the best "dVi<i?nee of the gcowth of a moral sentiment in this"country. It means something when a great church pauses, hesitates, refuses to j acci pt tne money until it knows how it was made. 1 believe the time will come, when churches and col- j leges wilt, refuse to go into partner-! ship in the spending of money immorally made. The 'influence of that public opinion will be a powerful" factor in the restoring of right-1 eousnees. These great institutions should say to man 'You did not make your money honestly; we will not share ttic<odium with you.' " . Whatever else may be said of Williams Jennings Bryan, be is honest aid be is cnn?i?*/>nt Hiui ideals in public and private life are) very high and he does not hesitate to defend those ideals. We are not sure hut that he is right in the matter of "tainted j money." To refuse to accept it is, i to say the least, the strongest pro- j test that can l>e made agsiinst the methods that were employed in its; accumulation. That these vast accumulation of wealth were dishonestly made is most easily believed. By oppression and by ways dark J t nd unrighteous the magic was; vorked. Maimnon is a sorry god at j >est. He may dress up in garments nost kingly in appearance but underleivth is the sordid heart of the levil. The time is coining when manhood will l>e put al>ove the dolar and when money will cease to <et the standard in the affairs of men. However, if a man finds himself in possession of millions of money ,ve feel that the desire to freely give it to worthy causes is tho best evilence that the owner is seeking the IKiths or repentance. If the money ivas honestly made, the owner in ' giving Ixiuntifully to worthy causes is pursuing the only course he could pursue if he would avoid being enclosed in the chains of mammon1 worship. "Freely ye have received, freely j .jive" will apply to them in this; lower sphere of human life as did these same words apply to the fidlowers of the Nazarene in a higher sphere of life. Honestly, we believe j about the only hope there is for the. rich to be saved from the slavej^Lfcd : wealth is for them to give, andYn give freely. i City DemeGratic Primary Election.
