UNION S. C., APRIL U>, 1P07.

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.

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.

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. \

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.
