TITEOLO0IANs AND THEA TRES

1HEOLOGlANS AND THEATRES
The st. Paul Pioneer ress recently
contained a capital editorial on the
c'u:c|, and the theatre, suggested
partly by u newspaper paragraph that
over i hundred Presbyterian clergy
men in Pennsylvania had recently dc
nounced the drama as seductive form
"f ungodliness, an invention of the evil
one, against which it is the duty of the
church to set its face like y flint"
But there WAS one home thrust which
the Pioneer Press failed to give these
clergymen who arc meddling with eve-
rybody's business, and in that one
home thrust lies the gist of all their op-
position to the theatre, the novel, the
dance and every legitimate amuse ment.
TIE clergy want attention concentrate
ed upon themselves. Whatever tends
10 take the public mind away from wor-
shipfnl attention to and worsll,pful
gloritication Of the clergy, in short.
whatever tends to weaken the grip OF
tho priests upon the public mind and
the public conscience. will he roundly
denounced by the clergy. It does not
change the fact to say that many Of
these clergynlen are sincere in the he.
lief that God has placed the conscience
III the people in their keeping. No
doubt MANY bigoted clergymen believe
this, but 1t is easy to see that with tho
great Ndy OF the clergy there is one
,r,rk ~ religion to ninekAon nort . ~

EDITOR ADVANCE: have been con-
siderably interested in your Free Opin-
ion column, but nothing has caused the
blood to tiugle through my veins like
tho piece headed "Our County Affairs
Tho Other Side." in the ADVANCE OF
March 9Th, and hoped it would he fully
answered without calling forth any
thing from me. l SEQ that ''Brainless"
has answered In part, but has not quite
come up to the feeling Of the farmers
in general. Mr.. 'County" undertook
to cover up some of our county officials
failings, but admits IN every instance
that there has been very few cases.
Neither has there been but few COM
plants made, which proves that the
farmers know just how they are used.
Mr.. County" tried to show us how 4
mau with brains has right to profita-
bic jObs, also to shorten bridge posts,
etc, or in other words, had right TO
defraud Us poor brainless clOal,Oppers
who pay them, by any underlanded
means they please to use. but think
the veil il = little too thin, for every
farmer in the county can see through
the fabrication, land through him, too,
As for that). lie says the farmers
would like to be officials (if they conlG).
would like to ask MIR. ''County;' WHO
it is that elects the officials? Who but
the farmers, and if it would not be just
rs easy for them to elect one Of their
own number us to elect such b;srnacies
Us he is. Had not just such men rs
Mr.. "COunty' through deceit, falsehood
and flAttery, pulled the wool over the
eyes OF our farmers; there would not be
any but farmers in our county offices
to-day. He asks us why ,re did not take
contracts to build bridges. We are not
bridge builders neither are we office
seekers. AL we want is fair play and
not have our hard earned money squan-
dered on favorites and then be called
avOricious fools because we want JUS
tice. But think that piece will open
the eyes of hundreds of our tax payers,
and that at the next election Ringism
and Favoriteism will step down and
out and good honest Yeomen take their
PLACES.
would say to Mr.. County" it lie
would stop this pickering, lie must use
Us rs men and not as brutes or fools.
The history of nearly all of the eminent
men Of our nation informs us that they
sprang from the laboring class, and can
it be, fellow -laborers of Mobiles County,
that We have not ability enough among
us to manage our County affairs? Let
us rally en- nasse at the next election
