SOME THINGS HARD TO BE UNDER
STOOD.
NO. 2.
BY J. ID. SMITH, NJ. ID.

Written for The Tennessee Methodist
In article No. l, under the above
caption, l reviewed in the Tennessee
Methodist the position taken by Rev.
DR.. Black in the New Orleans Chris
tian Advocate on the Mississippi liquor
licensing bill. 1t was not my purpose
then to again allude to said bill, but
to proceed to discuss other current
events of equal vbsurdity now receiv-
ing the passive assent or active en-
dorsement of clergymen in high places.
But as one of the Chief Rulers in our
Southern Methodist Church has come
to the aid of DR.. Black in an article
published i'm the New York Inpepend-
ent, of April IA, and republished in
Tennessee Methodist of May 3, | may
as we'll review that remarkable arti-
Gle as one of the "things hard to be
understood" now, as later on. | say
remarkable article because of the fol-
lowing remarkable sentence contained
in it. The learned author, beloved
minister, and EN- nent Divine says:
"There are salient features in the err
cellent measure which has just passed
both houses in the Legislature and
become part of our new code.n Ital-
les are ours Now what is that Eek

A King In America.

The Western Plowman is one of the
few papers in the country that have from
the beginning had the moral courage to
stand up for the morals of the country
and strike from the shoulder at the
vicious and dominating influences of the
liquor traffic and other great and grow
ing evils that seem so impregnably in
trenched in this Gland of the free and
home of the brave" 1t says in recent
issue:
"The spring elections are close at
hand, on which occasion the tremendous
power and influence of the saloon will be
again demonstrated. Men will be Sc
lected for officel not because they have
high moral convictions of duty and are
not afraid to express them, but because
of the availability which, when trans
lated, means no aggressive spirit of op-
position to existing evils. Corn is
king we sometimes exultingly say.
Exactly, but it is beginning to mean the
juice of the corn, which is the all potent
spirit in every political campaign. 1t is
not only the drinking man who is under
the influence of liquor. We are all un-
der its influence and always will be so
long as politics are dominated by saloon
power. journal of Agriculture.

nent church dignitaries, when a
straight-out Prohibition, statute COW
ering the whole State, might havejust
as easily been had for the asking; and
especially since the most prominent
of these ecclesiastics took it upon
himself to proclaim in a published in
terview just before the late session of
the Legislature convened, that he
deemed it unwise for the Legislature
to take any more advanced step on
the liquor question at present than
this high license dram shop law, THE
LEADER has deemed it timely to re
produce Il series of articles written by
DR.. j. ID. Smith, of Paducah, KY, i'll
1892, for the Tennessee Methodist,
soon after the said dram-shop law was
first enacted. There are three of the
articles in all, and we will publish
one every week until the series is
completed. They have never been
published in any Mississippi paper
before, and are deserving of wide
and thoughtful reading by all who
wish an intelligent and right appreci-
alton of Prohibition from Christian,
moral and legal stand point. The sal
lent points in the articles criticised,
will be quite clearly understood on
reading Dir. Smiths review. The bulk
of Dr. Blacks and Bishop Galloway's
articles was simply synopsis of the
main provisions of the dram shop law,
which they approved and eulosizcd.
We this week give DR.. Smiths No.

A COMMON OBJECTION.
Not to Form New Party. but to Reform
the Old.

Not to Form New Party. but to Reform
the Old.
A reauer, who is in favor of prohibit
ton, but against the Prohibition party,
writes: "There is better way than to
create new reform party. Why not
stand by present parties and so urge
moral considerations as to compel all
parties to do right?"
To talk of compelling a party to do
right while one keeps voting for.it when
it is wrong is to speak the words of idle
ness.
Again, the programme involves such q
moral reformation of all the material
out of which parties are made as to make
it impossible for either party to carry a
majority unless the party does right,
while the teacher of this high and holy
gospel of political reform himself sets
the example Of voting for party con-
fessedly wrong.
To reform all parties is to bring all
men to correct standards Of conduct in
all particulars and to induce them to
act harmoniously on these standards in
all political matters-to use moderate
terms-an undertaking utterly endless,
useless and senseless. On the other hand,
to create triumphant reform party is
to bring merely the majority to a cor
rect standard in only one particular.
When all parties are SO formed, pro-
gressive politics will be at an end, for
then the sound and moral will have tri-
umphed, and the struggle for their mas
terry will be over, and the occasion for
political parties will have passed away.
To create triumphant reform party is
to take another step in the long journey
toward the peace, fellowship, comfort
and redemption of mankind.
To struggle for the one is to stand still
until the impossible has been attained
and in the meantime suffer all current
wrongs. To struggle for the other is to
follow in the footsteps of all rational ad-
vance, to take sure step toward ulti-
mate victory and to strike at least one
name from the catalogue of wrongs.
There is always portion of society
not subject to moral considerations.
Make it ever so small portion, there
remains that portion of bad men, ire
deemably bad. If good men are to stand
by their party in its wrong action until
moral considerations have been SO urged
as to compel all parties to do right, then
they are to stay there until they convert
this portion of irredeemably bad men to
standard of political morality higher
than their own.
1t cannot be done-they cannot be con-
verted-and if they could men who thus
act politically, of all men are the least
prepared to convert them.
But while good men of all parties,
staying in the old parties, cannot convert
their politically vicious neighbors, they
may combine in new party, put the
rascals together in a common camp of
political infamy, outvote them, force
them into hopeless minority and COM
pei them to obey wholesome laws.
