the same and the difference Is prin-
eipally in government and on minor
points. Bat politically considered
these differences are often yitei.
There can be no middle ground
when the issues are made up. You
must be either right or wrong. The
doctrines your party advocate are
either in the interests of the nation
or in opposition.
".
Our duty then seems plain. In a
spirit of federation and kindness,
recognizing that we are all honestly
seeking for the truth, we should en-
deavor by all the means at our COM
mand, and by the exercise of all the
faculties given US, to ascertain the
correct theory upon all propositions
affecting the public veal. Because
our forefathers advocated certain
principles is no reason why, on ac-
count of respect and veneration for
their memories, we should do the same
without investigation. We are in
responsible for our actions
and We are Individually responsible
for our thoughts. The power of
reason has been granted US and we
are not guiltless if we do not exer-
else 1t for ourselves. When we all
think and act the millennium will
be very near at hand. When sell
fish politicians and demagogues can
no longer formulate our political
sentiments in their own interests
then will this indeed be govern
ment Of the people, for the people
and by the people. There are no
evidences of the dissolution of our
free government and no fears need
ever be entertained in regard to the
perpetuity Of our free institutions, |
unless it is the result of the ignor-
ance of the masses, and their care
lessness, in permitting others to do
their thinking for them. The dis
position of the masses is to do right i
of party ties or political
affiliations. We are all striving for
The same end-good, honest, equita-
ole government.

Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1892-12-03

STATE division is attracting much
attention, not only in Kansas bat
from outsiders. The more we think
of it the more we are convinced that
the scheme is entirely impractieable
and in opposition to the interests OF
the whole state and especially OF
western Kansas. It is true that
western Kansas has not been fairly
treated in the matter Of state insti-
tutions and that it has been paying
large sums to support all sorts of in
stitutions in eastern Kansas from
which we derive no benefit, but this
one fact alone is not sufficient to
warrant a separation. It is urged
again that the capital of the state is
not centrally located and this is
given as an additional reason why
the state should be divided. This
may be an argument for capital re-
moval but we fail to see any argu-
ment for state division. Some OF
the more Jealous advocates of the
scheme are urging it upon political
grounds. They say western Kansas
is reliably republican while eastern
Kansas is not. Where is the argu-
ment? If that is good reason why
republicans should support such a
proposition it is certainly a good
reason why the opposition should
oppose it. Our political interests
are not identical. It occurs to US
that good reasons for the division
are exceedingly scarce when such
weak arguments are resorted to.
Patriotism and not politics should
govern in a matter affecting the
general welfare of US all. It seems
to us childish in the extreme to ad-
vocate a division of the state simply
because we have been defeated in the
late elections. In behalf of the re-
publican party we protest against
that argument. Besides, unless all
signs fail, in two years hence, Kan
sas will certainly be republican as
heretofore. A gain of 1000 in two
years is sufficient guaranty of that
fact. Politics should not figure in
matter of this kind. Our state is
not too large. The population Of
the entire state has a community of
interest. Legislation that is beneficial
to one portion of the state is good
for the other. The interests of
eastern Kansas and western Kansas
are not dissimilar. A division would
result disastrously for both sections
without any corresponding benefits
for western Kansas. If we lived in
eastern Kansas we might conceive
of several reasons for division. In
fact we might possibly take selfish
view and demand that western Kan
sas be cut off. What those reasons
are need not be stated. They will
readily occur to most Of US. If the
agitation had originated in eastern
Kansas there might be some reason
for it, but for western Kansas to
clamor for Acknowledgement seems
to US the greatest piece of foolish
ness that we ever heard of. Better
call in the cranks before the people
of eastern Kansas decide to let us|
have our own Wav

is the mark of wise man. No bet
ter evidence of dwarfed and con-
tracted mind is needed than the
bigotry which proclaims, Il know I
am right and you are wrong"
There are comparatively few things,
outside, perhaps, Of mathematical
science, that may be absolutely
demonstrated. Political economy is
not one of them. Neither can the
majority be depended upon as being
always right. While, then, we may
have strong convictions and it is
our duty to act upon those convic-
lions, we should always be tolerant
of contrary opinions held by others.
1t is barely possible that we might
be in error. In any event we are en-
titled to our honest opinions and we
should respect the honest beliefs Of
others no difference how much they
may be at variance with our own.
~
Did it ever occur to you, dear
reader, that you are a member of
the Presbyterian, Methodist or Bap-
fist church simply and only because
your parents were? No doubt you
would resent such an imputation
with Indignation. You all, doubt
less, claim to be Independent think
ers and to have minds Of your own
and would not like to be told, much
as you may venerate your parents,
that you hold certain religious be-
liefs because they did. But look
around you and you will discover
that in nine cases out of ten the
child holds the same religious faith
that his parents did. That there is
occasionally an exception only
proves the general rule.
~
Again, did it ever occur to you
that you are a republican or demo-
crat, asit may happen, because your
father WASP That your boosted in
dependence Of thought is all
myth? That in fact you were
born just what you profess to be,
politically? 1t is a fact and, in Or
der to demonstrate it to your entire
satisfaction, ask the next ten repub-
licans you meteor democrats
what is or was the politics Of their
fathers. Occasionally the rule will
not apply-there are exceptions to
the rule-but you will find this SO
universal that you must admit its
complete demonstration.
-.
Admitting these statements to be
true what do they show? Primarily,
that extraneous influences have as
much or more to do with shaping
public sentiment than an earnest,
unprejudiced examination by each
individual for himself; that here
tofore we have largely allowed
others to do our thinking for US and
that often our actions are mot con-
trolled BY our best judgment. after q
careful consideration from an un-
biased standpoint. In religious mat
ters. so far as concerns the several
churches which are denominated Or
thodox, it does not appear to be ma
terial. Their cardinal doctrines are

Welcomesby the Baptist Congregation of
their New Past0r. Rev, W. L. T.. Cox.

The Baptist Church on last Friday night was
other congregations to witness the ceremonies
attending the welcome of Rev. w. J. E. Cox,
the new Pastor of.the Baptist church. The pro-
gramme was as published in our last issue with
the exception that, in the absence of Rev. H
q. Ferguson, of Waynesboro', who had been
assigned to that duty, Rev. B. Taylor, D. D., of
Lexington, did the scripture reading Rev. G.
L. Wilson delivered the address of welcome on
behalf of the church, Rev. John II. Taylor that
on behalf of the Augusta Association of the
Baptist church, of which he is the Moderator;
and Rev. j. T. Williams, Pastor of the M. E.
Church South of Staunton, that on behalf OF
the other denominations of this city. The
Pastor then responded to the addresses of well
come which had been delivered. Rev. ]. B.
Taylor, D D., delivered the address to the pas
tor, and Rev. B. 81. Dement,, of Buena Vista,
the address to the church. The addresses OF
welcome were cordial, breathing brotherly
and Christian spirit, and were reciprocated
and appropriately responded to by the Pastor.
These exercises were interspersed with the
singing of appropriate hymns. The occasion
was one of much interest and was greatly en-
Joyed by those who had the good fortune to
gain admittance. but some who did not go
early filled to do so, and unfortunately for US,
we were one of that number, and hence the
meagerness of this report. Both the Pastor
and congregation have our cordial congratula-
tions.
